1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 PROJECT BACKGROUND

M/s. Mukand Alloy Steels Private Ltd (MASPL) is a subsidiary of M/s. Mukand Ltd and M/s. Mukand

Ltd has decided to delegate its Alloy Steel business to M/s. MASPL. The site at which M/s. Mukand

Ltd proposed to setup Integrated Steel Plant of 0.7 MTPA at Village- Kanakapur, Taluka & District-

Koppal, State - Karnataka shall be used by its subsidiary company M/s. MASPL to setup the

proposed plant. Mukand Ltd. (Formerly known as Mukand Iron & Steel Works Ltd.), is one of the

largest producer of ‘Alloys and Special Steels’ and Stainless Steels in the country meeting the

requirements of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) for automobiles, auto-component

industries as also of railways, defence, transportation and engineering industries.

1.2 TERMS OF REFERENCE

The approach to this Socio-economic Study has been guided by the MoEF&CC Manual and the

MOEF has finalized the Terms of References (TORs) for carrying out Environmental Studies vide

letter no. J-11011/105/2016-IA.II (I)). Dated 19th May 2016.

1.3 STUDY APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY

Associated MoEF&CC Manual, as well as referring to IFC & ADB guidelines,

The Social Study was divided into the following three Phases:

Phase 1: Desktop Study;

Phase 2: Fieldwork; and

Phase 3: Update Socio-economic Baseline and Impact Assessment.

Phase 1: Desktop Study

The desktop component of the study has drawn on the use of secondary data sourced from previous

project reports, as well as other Internet-based sources including:

• District and Local Development Plans;

• District and Local Spatial Development Frameworks;

• Statistics from Census;

• Other similar EIAs undertaken in the same region and

• Other EIAs undertaken for Integrated Steel Plants

The information collected through desktop research included: demographic (including human

settlements on affected properties), economic, health and education information as well as the

availability of physical infrastructure and services. The purpose of collecting this information was to

provide a basis upon which the impact assessment can be conducted, and to enable the

measurement and monitoring of the impacts.

Through a review of the existing documentation, gaps in information were identified to be addressed

through primary data collection, as outlined in Phase 2 and via drawing on any additional sources of

secondary data that were identified during the course of the study.




Phase 2: Fieldwork and Primary Data Collection

In order to gather clear and current information for the baseline and impact assessment, a field visit

was undertaken. The field visit was undertaken during Baseline survey (April to June, 2016) and

later updated before the public hearing (January 2017). This afforded the social consultants the

opportunity to engage with the relevant community members and authorities, as well as get a

general sense of the stakeholder issues.

Where the relevant stakeholders were not available at the time of the site visit, follow-up was made

for the same.

Phase 3: Update Socio-economic Baseline and undertake Impact Assessment

The socio-economic baseline from the Scoping Report was updated using the secondary and

primary data collected in Phase 2. The findings of the public consultation process were also

incorporated into the baseline in order to ensure that it accurately describes the current situation and

needs of the local communities.

The Social Specialist has identified potential positive and negative – direct, indirect, induced and

cumulative – impacts associated with the Project. The identification of impacts was informed by the

baseline study and the public consultation process. The findings of other specialist impact

assessment studies have been reviewed and used to inform the impact assessment component of

the SIA where appropriate.

Feedback from stakeholders, primarily received during the Scoping Phase was used to inform the

impact assessment.

The identified impacts will be assessed using the methodology provided by GCI, as outlined in

Section 1.4, below.

1.4 IMPACT ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

This section provides an overview of the assessment methodology used to assess the

environmental and social impacts associated with the construction, operation phases of the project.

The identified impacts presented within this section have been assessed according to this

methodology which includes a description of the impact, subsequent assessment, mitigation

measures and finally the residual impact after the application of these mitigation measures.

Impact identification and assessment starts with scoping. Interactions with the potential for

significant effects were subjected to a detailed impact assessment. The principal ESIA steps are

summarised in Figure 1.1 and comprise the following.

• Impact prediction: to determine what could potentially happen to resources or receptors as

a consequence of the Project and its associated activities.

• Impact evaluation: to evaluate the significance of the predicted impacts by considering the

magnitude and likelihood of occurrence, and the sensitivity, value and/or importance of the

affected resource or receptor.




• Mitigation and enhancement: to identify appropriate and justified measures to mitigate

negative impacts and enhance positive impacts.

• Residual impact evaluation: to evaluate the significance of impacts assuming effective

implementation of mitigation and enhancement measures.

Figure 1.1 Environmental Impact Assessment Process

1.4.1 Impact Prediction

Prediction of impacts is an objective process to determine what is likely to happen to the

environment as a consequence of the Project and associated activities. From the potentially

significant interactions identified in scoping, the impacts to the various resources/receptors are

elaborated and evaluated. The diverse range of potential impacts considered in the IA process

typically results in a wide range of prediction methods being used, including quantitative, semi-

quantitative and qualitative techniques.




1.4.2 Impact Evaluation

Environmental impacts arise as a result of Project activities either interacting with environmental

receptors directly or causing changes to the existing environment such that an indirect effect occurs.

Impacts may be described and quantified in a number of ways.

Nature of Impact

The nature of an impact is defined as the type of change from baseline conditions or the

introduction of a new desirable or undesirable factor. The nature of an impact is described as

being either positive or negative.

Type of Impact

Impact type indicates the relationship of the impact to the Project activity in terms of cause and

effect, as either:

• Direct impact resulting from the direct interaction between a project activity and the receiving

environment.

• Indirect impact between the proposed activity and the environment as a result of subsequent

interactions within the environment.

• Induced impact resulting from other non-project activities that happen as a consequence of

the Project activities.

• Cumulative impacts that act together with other impacts (including those from concurrent or

planned future third party activities) to affect the same resources and/or receptors as the

Project.

Extent of Impact

Impact extent relates to the geographic reach of the impact and is described in Table 1.1

Table 1.1 : Determining Extent

Duration of Impact

Impact duration refers to the time period over which a resource or receptor will be affected

described in Table 1.2.

Designation Description

Local

Impact would affect local resources or receptors and would be

restricted to a single community (ie impacts in the footprint of project

activities and the immediate adjacent area).

Regional Impact would affect regional resources or receptors and would be

experienced at a regional scale for example at a state level.

National Impact would affect resources or receptors throughout the country.

International International impact would affect internationally important resources or

receptors outside of the country.

Trans-boundary Impact would be those that are experienced in one country as a result of

activities in another country.




Table 1.2 : Determining Duration


Temporary

Impacts would last for a short duration, are reversible and intermittent or

occasional in nature. The resource or receptor would return to the

previous state when the effect ceases or after a short period of recovery,

typically less than one year.

Short-term

Impacts would last for the life of the proposed short term activity activities

and a limited short period thereafter, typically one to four years. The

impact would cease when the effect ceases following a short period of

recovery.

Long-term Impacts would continue for an extended period of time after the Project

activity, for example between five and 15 years.

Permanent

Impacts would occur during the development of the Project and cause a

permanent change in the affected receptor or resource that endures

substantially beyond the Project lifetime.

Scale of Impact

Impact scale relates to the size of the impact, in a social context it typically relates to the degree

of change experienced by receptors, either at an individual or household level.

Table 1.3 Determining Scale


Small Impact would result in a subtle change in baseline conditions.

Medium Impact would result in some change to baseline conditions within a

community, but would not dominate over baseline conditions.

Large

Impact would result in a fundamental change in the way of life of

receptors, or to the nature of relationships within a community, or to the

livelihood patterns within a community.

Frequency of Impact

Impact frequency relates to the constancy or periodicity of the impact. This could be a once off

occurrence or continuous. The designations used in the Impact Assessment are as follows:

• Constant a permanent occurrence

• Often occurs at least once a month

• Occasional occurs at least once every six months




• Rare occurs about once a year

• One-off could occur, but reasonably expected to occur only once.

Magnitude of Impact

Once an impact’s characteristics are defined, the next step in the impact assessment phase is to

assign each impact a ‘magnitude’. Magnitude is typically a function of some combination (depending

on the resource/receptor in question) of the following impact characteristics:

• Extent;

• Duration;

• Scale; and

• Frequency.

Additionally, for unplanned events only, magnitude incorporates the likelihood factor. An unplanned

event is defined as ‘a reasonably foreseeable event that is not planned to occur as part of the Project,

but which may conceivably occur as a result of Project activities (eg accidents), even with a low

probability’. These differ from planned events which are activities which are expected to occur as part

of the normal Project development and operation. The likelihood of an unplanned event occurring is

designated using a qualitative scale:

• Unlikely events are unlikely but may occur at some time during normal operating

conditions.

• Likely events are likely to occur at some time during normal operating conditions.

• Definite events will occur during normal operating conditions (ie, it is essentially

inevitable).

Magnitude essentially describes the intensity of the change that is predicted to occur in the

resource/receptor as a result of the impact. Magnitude designations themselves are universally

consistent, but the descriptions for these designations vary on a resource/receptor-by-

resource/receptor basis. The magnitude designations are described in Table 1.4.




Table 1.4 Describing Magnitude

Vulnerability The vulnerability of receptors is underpinned by a low existing level of livelihoods assets (such as

health or education) or inadequate access to structures and processes to protect or improve

livelihoods. It is important to understand the vulnerability context as it will affect the ability of social

receptors to adapt to socio-economic/cultural or bio-physical changes. A higher level of vulnerability

can result in increased susceptibility to negative impacts or a limited ability to take advantage of

positive impacts. A project may also exacerbate existing vulnerabilities if the status of individuals and

communities and their coping mechanisms are not adequately understood or considered. The

vulnerability designations are described in Table 1.5.

Table 1.5 Describing Vulnerability

Receptor

Vulnerability Description

Low Minimal vulnerability; consequently with a high ability to adapt to changes

brought by the Project and opportunities associated with it.

Medium

Some, but few areas of vulnerability; still retaining an ability to at least in

part adapt to change brought by the Project and opportunities associated

with it.

High

Profound or multiple levels of vulnerability that undGCIine the ability to

adapt to changes brought by the Project and opportunities associated with

it.

Evaluation of Significance

Once magnitude of impact and sensitivity/vulnerability/importance of resource/receptor have been

characterised, the significance can be assigned for each impact.


Positive

In the case of positive impacts, no intensity is assigned unless there is

ample data to support a more robust characterisation. It is sufficient to

indicate that the Project will result in a positive impact, without

characterising the exact degree of positive change likely to occur

Negligible A difference from baseline conditions is marginally perceptible.

Small

Perceptible difference from baseline conditions. Tendency is that impact

is local, rare and affects a small proportion of households and is of a

short duration.

Medium

Clearly evident difference from baseline conditions. Tendency is that

impact affects a substantial area or number of people and/or is of

medium duration. Frequency may be occasional and impact may be

regional in scale.

Large

Change dominates over baseline conditions. Affects the majority of the

area or population in the area of influence and/or persists over many

years. The impact may be experienced over a regional or national area.




For the purposes of this ESIA, the following definition of significance has been adopted:

An impact is significant if, in isolation or in combination with other impacts, it should, in the judgement

of the EIA team, be taken into account in the decision-making process, including the identification of

mitigation measures and consenting conditions.

In assessing whether an impact is significant, reference has been made, where appropriate, to

criteria on which the evaluation is based. These may include legal standards, policy guidance or

accepted practice and past experience.

The significance of impacts is then devised from a combination of the vulnerability of the receptor

and the magnitude of impact. A convenient way of representing the overall significance is through a

matrix of magnitude versus sensitivity or vulnerability/value as shown in Table 1.6.

Table 1.6 Overall Significance Criteria for Environmental Impacts in the ESIA

For this assessment, five impact significance categories have been applied:

• Positive impact;

• Negligible impact;

• Minor significance;

• Moderate significance; and

• Major significance.

These general definitions of Categories of Impact Significance have been applied to the

assessment of social and environmental impacts for the Project as shown in Table 1.7.

Table 1.7 Categories of Impact Significance

Positive

Positive impacts provide resources or receptors, most often people, with positive benefits. It is

noted that concepts of equity need to be considered in assessing the overall positive nature of

some impacts such as economic benefits, or opportunities for employment.




Negligible

Negligible impacts are where a resource or receptor (including people) will not be affected in

any way by a particular activity or the predicted effect is deemed to be ‘negligible’ or

‘imperceptible’ or is indistinguishable from natural background variations.

Minor

An impact of minor significance (‘Minor impact’) is one where an effect will be experienced, but

the impact magnitude is sufficiently small (with or without mitigation) and well within accepted

standards, and/or the receptor is of low sensitivity/value.

Moderate

An impact of moderate significance (‘Moderate impact’) is one within accepted limits and

standards. Moderate impacts may cover a broad range, from a threshold below which the

impact is minor, up to a level that might be just short of breaching a legal limit. Clearly to

design an activity so that its effects only just avoid breaking a law and/or cause a major impact

is not best practice. The emphasis for moderate impacts is therefore on demonstrating that the

impact has been reduced to a level that is ALARP. This does not necessarily mean that

‘Moderate’ impacts have to be reduced to ‘Minor’ impacts, but that moderate impacts are being

managed effectively and efficiently.

Major

An impact of major significance (‘Major impact’) is one where an accepted limit or standard

may be exceeded, or large magnitude impacts occur to highly valued/sensitive

resource/receptors. An aim of EIA is to get to a position where the Project does not have any

major residual impacts, certainly not ones that would endure into the long-term or extend over

a large area. However, for some aspects there may be major residual impacts after all

practicable mitigation options have been exhausted (ie ALARP has been applied). It is then the

function of regulators and stakeholders to weigh such negative factors against the positive

ones such as employment, in coming to a decision on the Project.

Mitigation and Enhancement

Mitigation and/or enhancement measures are identified for significant impacts identified during the

impact evaluation stage. These measures represent a feature, procedure or other action that the

Project commits to implement to avoid or reduce the magnitude of an adverse impact, or to enhance

the magnitude of a positive impact. As such, these should avoid unnecessary damage to the

environment; safeguard valued or finite resources, natural areas, habitats and ecosystems; and

protect humans and their associated social environments.

Residual Impact Evaluation

The residual impacts are described in terms of their significance and the nature of the impact is

qualified, where appropriate, on the basis of the descriptors, within each of the impact assessment

sections presented within this Chapter. The criteria take into account the degree to which impacts can

be quantified and compared with accepted limits and standards or a combination of the magnitude of

change caused by the Project in combination with the value/sensitivity of the receptor/resource that is

impacted.




Dealing with Uncertainty in the Assessment of Impacts

The impact assessment process deals with the future and there is inevitably uncertainty that arises

between the predictions made and what will actually happen during the course of the Project.

However, the sources of impacts due to plant processes & operations are well-understood and the

areas of interaction with the receiving environment have been well-characterised by past projects.

Impact predictions have, wherever practicable, been made using available data, but where significant

uncertainty remains, this is outlined in the text. Where the vulnerability of a resource and impact

magnitude is not supported by quantitative data, this is reported accordingly and qualitative

information, professional experience and a conservative approach is used instead to judge whether a

significant impact is likely to occur or not.

Table 1.3 Access routes and roads

The Project has accounted for certain road works, described below, deemed necessary for safety and

compliance with regional legislative requirements. Permissions have not yet been sought for the

proposed road works, the costs of which will be borne by the project and executed according to local

regulations, requirements and guidelines.

Concrete-paved roads will be constructed early after commencement of construction works and will

serve to carry heavy load traffic (mobile cranes, multi axle heavy equipment trailers, cement delivery

trucks, etc.) during the early stages of construction.

All concreted roads will play an important role for rainwater harvesting, in addition to the concreted

lay-down areas. The site’s natural slope is towards the south where the raw water storage tanks will

be situated. The east-west thoroughfares (‘streets’) will channel rainwater into the rain-water drains

of the thoroughfares (‘avenues’). Rainwater will run to the bulk water storage tanks.

Approach to the Plant

For road safety considerations and in light of the increased traffic (particularly during construction

phase) the provincial road leading past the two integrated steel plant entrances will wide enough to

carry the traffic.




For the office and administration gate a wide entrance (12 m) and a 12 m radius bend into the plant

site and offices from the access road to the gate house is planned.

2.3 PROJECT PHASING AND SCHEDULE

2.3.1 Construction Phase

The proposed project is Rolling Mill if 700,000 Ton /Annum capacity.

During peak construction activity, it is expected that up to approximately 1000 workers will be directly

employed. Most of this workforce will be employed by the engineering, procurement and construction

(EPC) contractor and will consist in semi-skilled to skilled workforce. The breakdown of skills required

during the construction phase will be as follows:

• Skilled labour: 400 persons

• Semi-skilled labour: 300 persons

• Unskilled labour: 300 persons

It is understood that there will be no worker accommodation on site during construction. The unskilled

workforce will, as far as possible be employed from the local community, reducing the need to the

provision of accommodation. The skilled and semi-skilled workforce from outside the area will be

housed within Area Local Body.

Traffic Requirements during the Construction Phase

Bulk cement and concrete aggregate, tons re-bar steel, and tons equipment and structural steel will

need to be transported to the construction site.

It is envisaged that construction staff, up to a maximum of 1000 persons, would be bussed to site in

mini busses and pass through this gate; busses per day, twice a day. Light vehicle traffic due to

construction will start by vehicles and increase rapidly where it will remain for the bulk of the

construction period.

There will be an expected bulk gravel, bulk sand, and bulk cement respectively for the duration of

the construction phase 1, after which it tails off rapidly.

The heavy equipment will be delivered via truck. This will involve some abnormal loads being moved

on the roads during this time

Water Requirements during the Construction Phase

During the construction phase the main water requirement will be for the concrete batching plant.

Water will be required for the concrete batching. Additional water will be required for:

• Off-site dust control: Post treatment recycled water will be used for dust control on

unsurfaced roads where required during high traffic periods and during construction.

• Domestic purposes by on site workers: Maximum water usage during peak construction period

will be the labour and constriction curing.

• Construction and on-site dust control: Water is required for the manufacture of concrete during

construction. The integrated steel plant will require concrete for foundations, road works, hard

standing and other site works.




2.3.2 Operation Phase

The integrated steel plant will be operated on a 24 hour, 7 days a week basis.

Employment during the Operation Phase

The number of workers on site during operations will be about 730. These will include plant

management and maintenance staff, skilled mechanical and electrical technicians, drivers, medical,

quality control, and cleaning staff and a number of experienced plant operators who will operate and

maintain the plant, and who are expected to be a mix of expatriate and local staff.

As the plant will operate 24 hours a day, three full-time shifts will be created per day, and the

breakdown of the skills required will be as follows:

• Skilled labour

• Semi-skilled labour and

• Unskilled labour:

It is understood that there will be no worker accommodation on site during operation. The unskilled

workforce will, as far as possible be employed from the local community, reducing the need to the

provision of accommodation. The skilled and semi-skilled workforce from outside the area will be

housed near to the site.

Traffic Requirements during the Operation Phase

During commercial operations there will be some traffic bringing supplies and spares to the integrated

steel plant. This will increase during shutdowns and periods of major maintenance.

Maintenance activities will be undertaken by an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) contractor.

Water Requirements during the Operation Phase

Water during operation will be required for the following activities:

Total water requirement of the project will be 1525 M3/Day. Source of Water is from downstream of

Tungabhadra Reservoir. Tungabhadra River is a perennial river and caters to the need of irrigation

and potable water. Water from downstream of reservoir will be drawn within the sanctioned capacity




of 18 MLD by the Government of Karnataka’s letter no. WRD.15/MTP/2013 dated 22 December

2015.

Liquid Effluents in the proposed Project:

1) Backwash from Softener: During Rolling, water is used for cooling of equipment, hot

bars and rolls. Water has to be soft so as to avoid deposit in the water pipes. MAPSL

will use water from the downstream of TB Dam. Depending on the hardness some

quantity of water (make-up water) will need to be softened.

Backwash from the softening plant is categorized as effluent. Quantity of backwash

water is estimated to be about 10 cum/Day. This water is collected in a pit and treated

for neutralization. After treatment, water becomes neutral (PH-7-8) and sent to the

collecting tank for dilution and further used for gardening and dust suppression

purpose.

2) Blowdown from Water Supply system: When the recirculation water becomes hard,

some quantity is removed from the system and fresh soft water is added. This is called

Blowdown. Blowdown water is neutral (PH 7-8) and is directly used for dust

suppression and gardening in the plant. Thus, Zero water Discharge is achieved.

3) Discharge from Canteen & toilets:

The waste water from the Canteen and toilets are treated in STP of capacity 25 KLD

and the water after treatment in STP is sent to the Effluent Treatment Tankand

treated with lime. After treatment, water becomes neutral (PH-7-8) and used for

gardening purpose and dust suppression purpose.

4) Scale Pit Water: The water from the various rolling processes shall be collected in the

Scale Pit. The water in the Scale pit contains oil and grease. The Oil Skimmer is

required to be installed for removing floating Oil and grease from contaminated

Water consisting of Oil, Grease and shop scale. Design of oil skimmer depends on the

laws of gravity, surface tension and principle of adhesion in order to function. Oil

skimmer works because they are made of materials to which oil is more likely to stick

than the fluid it is floating on.

The skimmer shall be installed near the scale pit. The Oil Skimmer shall be made from

corrosion resistant material. The special type of rotating endless tubes floats on the

liquid surface for removing oil/grease. The tube moves through the skimmer pulley

installed above ground level and the oil is wiped from the tube at the top with the

help of special wiper pulley. The skimmed oil shall be collected in a container through

a hose connector attached with the skimmer and the reclaimed oil shall be sold.




After skimming of the oil and grease the water is send to the settling tank and the

water from the settling tank after filtration again reused in the cooling Tower. The

backwash collected from the filter is then send to the thickener and coagulants are

added for separating the solid and liquid particles and thereafter the water overflow

of the thickener is sent to the Scale pit for reusing. The residual from the thickener is

collected and dried to make in form of Metallic cake which is sold to the local parties.

In the proposed project approximately 25 KLD Domestic and Canteen waste will be generated and

it will be treated in the STP of Capacity 25KLD.

30 KLD Effluent is generated which shall be treated in Effluent Treatment Tank and then reused

for gardening and dust suppression purpose. Thus there will be no effluent released from the

Rolling Mill and hence MASPL will adhere to “Zero Liquid Discharge” for this proposed project.

3. PROJECT MOTIVATION

When considering an application submitted under the EIA Regulations, the relevant competent

authority must take a number of factors into consideration, including the need for, and desirability

of, the activity.

The need and desirability of this project is discussed below including strategic plans, frameworks and

policies applicable to the area and project.

Need and Desirability

The Indian economy is rapidly growing and is emerging as the second largest developing economy of

the world, which has a great impact on domestic consumption of steel as well as export potential to

other countries. As a result of this, the demand for iron & steel remains extremely good, which would

continue for next 10 years if not less, since the per capita consumption of steel in India is still very low

compared to other developed countries? For rapid development of economy and infrastructure of the

country, it is necessary to increase the production of steel within the country.

The Indian steel industry is very modern with state-of-the-art steel mills. It has always strived for

continuous modernisation and up-gradation of older plants and higher energy efficiency levels.

As per the report of the Working Group on Steel for the 12th Five Year Plan, there exist many factors

which carry the potential of raising the per capita steel consumption in the country. These include




among others, an estimated infrastructure investment of nearly a trillion dollars, a projected growth of

manufacturing from current 8% to 11- 12%, increase in urban population to 600 million by 2030 from

the current level of 400 million.

At the time of its release, the National Steel Policy 2005 had envisaged steel production to reach 110

million tonnes by 2019-20. However, based on the assessment of the current ongoing projects, both in

greenfield and brownfield, the Working Group on Steel for the 12th Five Year Plan has projected that

domestic crude steel capacity in the county is likely to be 140 million tonnes by 2016-17 and has the

potential to reach 149 million tonnes, if all requirements are adequately met. Thus, the project will be a

part of the vision.

4. SOCIO-ECONOMIC BASELINE

This section describes the socio-economic environment in which the Project is situated. The

description provided in this section is based on publicly available and secondary information, as well

as primary data collected for the Project.

4.1 AREA OF INFLUENCE (AOI)

The socio-economic baseline description is focused on local level, i.e. within the Area Local Body,

situated in the proposed project site. This is because it is expected that although the proposed Project

will result in macro-economic benefits at a national level, the primary socio-economic impacts of the

Project will be experienced at a district and local level.

The socio-economic area of influence has been divided into the Direct Area of Influence and the

Indirect Area of Influence, these are described below.

4.1.1 Area of Direct Influence

The Area of Direct Influence, ADI, includes the Project footprint and related facilities as well as the

associated effects of the Project on the receiving environment. This encompasses:

• Integrated steel Plant site;

• Roads

In the context of this study, the ADI further includes areas around the site likely to be affected by the

Project activities during the pre-construction, construction and operation phases. The effects can be

positive or negative, short or long term or permanent, as well as direct and in-direct. These areas

include the settlements located within close proximity to the Project Site

4.1.2 Indirect Area of Influence

The Area of Indirect Influence, AII, includes areas within a wider radius of the Project Site, which may

be affected by the Project, this includes, although to a lesser extent

4.3 SITE SETTING AND LANDUSE

4.3.1 Land-use of the Project Site

The basic purpose of land use pattern and classification in an EIA study is to identify the manner in which

different parts of land in an area are being utilized or not utilized. Remote sensing data provides reliable

accurate baseline information for land use mapping, as it is a rapid method of acquiring up-to-date

information of over a large geological area.

A systematic digital image interpretation approach was used to delineate the land use classes. The

present study was focused on demarcating boundaries of different land use/land cover units from an

analysis of different types of colour registrations of land use/land cover units from satellite imagery. Data

Used in the land use map preparation is the satellite Imagery of Indian Remote Sensing Satellite (IRS- ID




, sensor P6, LISS III) of 24 m resolution. The Swath of the imagery is 141 Km x 141 Km. Band used are

2, 3 4 and 5. LANDSAT imagery of 30 meter resolution and 185 x 185 km swath is also used for the

comparative and overall analysis of the area. LISS III imagery and LANDSAT 4-5 TM imagery were used

for the complete coverage of the study area. Band used are 2, 3 and 4.

4.5 LIVELIHOODS AND ECONOMY

The growth of GSDP at constant prices (year-on-year) slightly decreased from 7.2% in 2013-14 to 7.0%

in 2014-15, mainly attributable to the decline in the growth of agriculture from 9.4% in 2013-14 to 4.5%

in 2014-15. However, the growth of industry and services slightly increased from 4.2% and 8.0% in

2013-14 to 4.4% and 8.9% during 2014- 15 respectively. The State economy showed reviving trends

with anticipated growth rate of 6.1% in 2012-13, 7.2% in 2013-14 and 7.0% during 2014-15.

Karnataka’s Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) at constant (2004-05) prices is expected to grow at

7.0% and reach Rs. 344106 crore in 2014-15. ‘Railways’, ‘Storage’, ‘Trade, Hotels and Restaurants’,

‘Transport by other means’, ‘Real Estate, Ownership of dwellings and Business Services’,

‘Communication’, ‘Public Administration’ and ‘Other Services’ have all contributed to the growth of

services sector (8.9%). Manufacturing sector is expected to grow at 3.2%. The expected growth rate of

‘Electricity, Gas and Water Supply’ is around 8.7%. ‘Agriculture and Livestock’ (4.3%) is the main

contributor to the growth rate achieved in the Agriculture sector (4.5%).

Tourism is one of the fastest growing sectors of Karnataka economy with its contribution to the

country's gross domestic product (GDP) of the state and makes a significant contribution to economic

development and jobs, thus being the most important growth sector in the state.

Further, eco-tourism and agri-tourism are recognized as ways of supplementing the income of farmers.

4.6.2 Water

The only and important river in this district is Tungabhadra river, which form the Southern boundary-of the

district. It has been associated from time immemorial with regional cultural and religious activities and has

several famous shrines on its banks. In the historical and cultural developments of the country, the river

had played a vital role. Legend and tradition have sanctified these perennial sources of water, which has

given an immense impetus to civilization and prosperity of the land.

4.6.3 Housing

The people in the village of the district live in house built of mud with the mud roofing. The walls are

raised by heaping mud layer after layer and leveling the sides with a wooden leveller. In the eastern parts




of the district palm leaves and stems are used for roofing and are found to be quite useful. Presently,

constructions of concrete roofing house with brick walls are taking place of mud roofing. Few rich people

of the village are having modem type of constructions.

Houses in the rural areas are built with scant respect for sanitation and hygiene; more of them are ill-

ventilated and often lack elementary amenities like drains for waste water. Cattle live in enclosures very

near to the house and add to the insanitation of the houses. Fields round about the village are used for

calls of nature and in many of the house, there are no latrines. The summer season witnesses a period of

water scarcity in many villages.

IMPACT ASSESSMENT

This section presents the potential socio-economic impacts associated with the Project. The potential

impacts have been assessed using the impact assessment methodology provided in Section 1.4.

The following potential impacts are discussed further below:

• Employment creation, skills enhancement and local business opportunities.

• Impacts on community health and safety, including:

• Impacts associated with the presence of the workforce and jobseekers;

• Impacts associated with pressure on social infrastructure;

• Impact on human health due to air emissions and dust generation; o Nuisance due to noise,

dust and traffic on sense of place;

• Worker health and safety and rights; and

• Cumulative impacts.

5. IMPACT ASSESSMENT

5.1 EMPLOYMENT CREATION, SKILLS ENHANCEMENT AND LOCAL BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

The Project is expected to generate positive impacts on the local economy and livelihoods in terms of:

• Employment and skills enhancement; and

• Local business opportunities through the procurement of goods and services.

Positive impacts will be primarily associated with the construction phase and therefore temporary in

nature. The termination of construction contracts will occur once construction activities are completed.

Workers who have relocated to the area for the Project are likely to leave the area in search of other

opportunities, especially if they are permanent employees of contractors and subcontractors.




Those who have worked on the Project will have an advantage when seeking alternative jobs on similar

projects due to the experience and any training received through this Project. The area is characterised

by a number of new industrial developments and is earmarked for other integrated steel projects which

may offer alternative employment opportunities. This is considered within the cumulative impacts Section

5.1.1 Construction: Employment, Skills Enhancement and Local Business Opportunities

Impact Description

The construction phase will last approximately 4-5 years in duration (Phase I & II) and it is expected that

approximately 1000 contact persons opportunities will be available during the peak of construction. The

breakdown of skills required during the construction phase will be as follows:

• Skilled labour

• Semi-skilled labour and

• Unskilled labour

It is assumed that the majority of skilled workforce will come from outside the ADI and AII, but that many

of them will be local. Given that almost half the population in the region have some level of skills training,

it is anticipated that many semi-skilled positions will be available to the local workforce, and that unskilled

positions will also be available to the local workforce. Indirect employment through the construction

supply chain will be limited as the major components of the integrated steel plant are highly specialised

and will be manufactured outside of Karnataka. However, much of the balance of plant of plant

infrastructure for the Project will be procured within region and where possible, from within the Locals.

Local procurement is going to benefit the hospitality and service industries primarily, such as

accommodation, catering, cleaning, transport and security services. Local businesses will benefit during

the construction phase as there will be increased spending within the area by the wage labour who will

have improved buying integrated steel while employed by the Project. Those who are able to secure

employment on the Project will have the opportunity to improve their skills and experience through on-the-

job training, and will thereby improve their opportunities for future employment.

Given that Karnataka has ear-marked for further industrial development, with a focus on the natural

resources, the upskilling of the local workforce will put the local workforce in a favourable position to

secure future employment. Employment numbers during commissioning are not known at this stage, but it

is expected that the make-up of the workforce will be similar to the construction phase.

Impact Assessment

The creation of local employment opportunities, skills enhancement and local business opportunities will

be a direct, indirect and induced impact. The duration will be short-term, for the duration of the

construction phase and work contracts will vary in length, based on the type of work being performed.




Employment will be created for Region at a local level depending on skills and capacity availability, as

such the extent will be regional. For those who are able to secure employment on the Project the scale

will be medium, as they secure an income for the duration of their contract. The frequency of the impact

will be constant for the duration of the construction phase. The magnitude of the impact will be positive.

Given the capacity of the local workforce to fill unskilled and semi-skilled employment positions,

together with the opportunity to increase skills and work experience, the vulnerability is medium.

The significance of the impact is rated as Moderate (+ve).

Proposed mitigation/ enhancement

The objective of mitigation is to optimise opportunities for employment of local people, wherever

possible, or alternatively that employment of Region is prioritised over outside persons

The following measures will be implemented to ensure that employment of local people is maximised:

• The Project will establish a recruitment policy which prioritises the employment of Indian and

local residents (originating from the Local body) over foreigners. Criteria will be set for

prioritising local residents and then other Region as part of the recruitment process.

• All contractors will be required to recruit in terms of the Project’s recruitment policy,

where practical.

• The Project will meet with the Local body to access any available skills/employment-seekers

database for the area. This database is to be updated and made available to the appointed

contractors.

• The Project will advertise job opportunities and criteria for skills and experience needed

through local media, at least three months ahead of recruitment. This information should

also be provided to all relevant authorities, community representatives and organisations on

the interested and affected party database.

• The recruitment policy and procedure should promote the employment of women as a means of

ensuring that gender equality is attained.

• On-the-job performance and training will be monitored through performance reviews. Training

needs will be identified and provided by the Project.

• No employment will take place at the entrance to the site. Only formal channels for

employment will be used.




A local procurement policy will be implemented to ensure that local procurement is

maximised, the policy will include:

• Reasonable targets for using local suppliers.

• A clause of none discrimination on any grounds of gender, ethnicity, religion.

• Criteria for monitoring local procurement and reporting on supplier performance

management.

• Clearly communicate the criteria and tendering process prior to the commencement of

construction activities; and

• The procurement policy and tendering requirements must be easily accessible to

potential suppliers.

• The following management measures will be implemented to enhance skills development and

on-the-job training

• Develop internal training 'certification' or reference letter provisions to those who receive

internal training.

• Training plans will be developed according to each permanent employee work agreement and

relevant to their job description.

5.1.2 Operation: Employment, Skills Enhancement and Local Business Opportunities

Impact Description

The integrated steel plant will be operated on a 24 hour, 7 days a week basis for the duration of the

operation phase. It is anticipated that there will be employment positions available during this phase. As

the plant will operate 24 hours a day, three full-time shifts will be created per day, and the breakdown of

the skills required will be as follows:

• Skilled labour:

• Semi-skilled labour: and

• Unskilled labour:

Similar to the construction phase, local workers are expected to be qualified to fill unskilled and semi-

skilled positions at first, whilst a limited number of people may be sufficiently qualified for skilled

positions. Semi-skilled and skilled positions will initially be recruited from elsewhere in the region and

India . Over time, however, local workers will be able to fill more of the semi-skilled and skilled positions

as training will be provided by the Project to the local workforce, will improve skills levels relevant to the

Project.

During the operation phase the contracts that were in place during the construction phase will be

terminated and procurement opportunities will be centred around maintenance activities, and providing

goods and services to the Project. For those companies that meet eligibility criteria, become approved

suppliers and enter the supply chain, there will be long-lasting and sustained benefits to the businesses

and their employees through increased experience, capacity and training. As such, during the operation

phase there will be opportunity for local business growth and development

Impact Assessment

The creation of local employment opportunities, skills enhancement and local business opportunities will

be a direct, indirect and induced impact. The duration will be long-term, for the duration of the operation

phase. Employment will be created for Region at a local and regional level depending on skills and

capacity availability, as such the extent will be regional. For those who are able to secure employment

or procurement contracts with the Project the scale will be large, as they secure long-term, stable

income. The frequency will be constant for the duration of the operation phase. The magnitude of the

impact will be Positive.




Given the limited employment and procurement opportunities during the operation phase, together

with the lack of appropriate skills in the ADI, the vulnerability is low.

The significance of the impact is rated as Minor (+ve).


The mitigation/ enhancement measure provided for the construction phase, will apply to the operation

phase.

5.2 IMPACTS ON COMMUNITY HEALTH AND SAFETY

The presence of the Project could affect the health, safety and security of the communities in the area

of influence as a result of worker-community interactions, in-migration to the area, increased incomes in

the local community that may be used for drugs, alcohol and prostitution, the risk of injury associated

with construction and activities, increased pressure on health care resources and changes to the

environment. Any community concerns or perceptions with regard to reduced health and physical safety

and security by the community need to be addressed.

There are numerous ways in which the development of the Project could impact on community and

individual levels of health. The term “health” is used broadly to include physical and mental health

and well-being. The expected impacts on community health, safety and security as a result of

construction, operation and of the Project are:

• Impacts associated with the presence of the Project workforce.

• Impacts associated with an influx of jobseekers.

• Impact on human health due to air emissions.

5.2.1 Construction and Operation: Impacts Associated with the Presence of the Workforce and Jobseekers

Impact Description

An increase in disposable income within the Project Area (among Project

workers, both local and external) has been observed to result in a change in

spending habits and behaviour resulting in increase in alcohol and drug

abuse, increased incidences of prostitution and casual sexual relations, which poses a threat to

community health and safety. Anticipated impacts associated with the presence of the workforce are:

• Increased incidence of alcohol and drug use;

• Increase in the spread of HIV/ Aids and other STIs;

• Increased incidence of teenage or unwanted pregnancies; and

It is estimated that there will be employed people during the peak construction phase. The Project will

seek to maximise the employment of local people, thereby reducing the size of the external workforce in

the ADI, however an external workforce will be required. The external workforce (largely comprised of

semi-skilled and skilled workers) will be housed with the ADI, as onsite worker accommodation is not

feasible for health and safety reasons given the Project

Site’s close proximity to Hospet.

Experience from large infrastructure projects elsewhere in India has shown that increased disposable

income within the local workforce may result in increased incidences of illegal activities as well as

increased levels of substance abuse. Abuse of alcohol (and drugs, should this occur) often correlates with

increased levels of criminal behaviour and violence (e.g.domestic violence) while under the influence of

the substance. Such behaviour increases the number of people indirectly affected by, or vulnerable to,

alcohol and drug abuse; and casual sexual relations could lead to an increased incidence of HIV/AIDS.

Further, it has been shown that members of an external workforce are likely to father children with local

women while they are living in the Project Area. Given the temporary nature of the work, it is possible that




both the women and children will be abandoned when the construction phase ends and the contractors

move on, leaving single female-headed households. A further impact associated with an influx of

jobseekers is the potential for their jobs. Competition for jobs has been raised as a concern by some

stakeholders.

Impact Assessment

The impacts related to the presence of the workforce and jobseekers in the Project Area will be indirect

and negative as the presence of a mostly male workforce, with an increased disposable income may

adversely impact on health, safety and security of the local community through a likely increase in illegal

or antisocial behaviour., The impact will be experienced at a local level, within the ADI. While the

workforce will be in the Project Area for a limited time during the construction phase, jobseekers may

stay in the area. Those affected by antisocial behaviour, such as the victims of abuse and people living

with HIV/ AIDS, the duration of the impact will be long-term. The scale of the impact will be large for

those affected as it will lead to a fundamental change in their life, and/ or health status, particularly for

those affected by violence, unwanted pregnancies or HIV/ AIDS. For those affected, the impact will be

largely irreversible. The frequency of the impacts will not be uniform, but may be felt often. Given the

above, the magnitude of the impact is considered medium.

The external workforce will be housed within the Area and will interact with the local community. The

local workforce will come from residential areas within the ADI.

During the operation phase, there will be limited employment opportunities and the external construction

workforce will likely leave the area. The number of local people with disposable income will decrease, as

will the impacts associated with this. This impact will not be felt during the operation phase.


The Project will develop an induction programme, including a Code of Conduct, for all workers directly

related to the project. A copy of the Code of Conduct is to be presented to all workers and signed by

each person. The Code of Conduct must address the following aspects:

• respect for local residents and customs;

• zero tolerance of bribery or corruption;

• zero tolerance of illegal activities by construction personnel including: unlicensed prostitution;

illegal sale or purchase of alcohol; sale, purchase or consumption of drugs; illegal gambling or fighting;

• no alcohol and drugs policy during working time or at times that will affect ability to work;

• description of disciplinary measures for infringement of the Code and company rules. If workers

are found to be in contravention of the Code of Conduct, which they signed at the commencement of

their contract, they will face disciplinary procedures that could result in dismissal.

The Project will implement a grievance procedure that is easily accessible to the local community,

through which complaints related to contractor or employee behaviour can be lodged and responded

to. The Project will respond in a serious manner to any such complaints. Key steps include:

• Circulation of contact details of ‘grievance officer’ or other key Project contact;




• Awareness raising among the local community regarding the grievance procedure and how it

works; and

• Establishment of a grievance register to be updated and maintained by the Project.

The Project will develop and implement an HIV/AIDS policy and information document for all workers

directly related to the Project. The information document will address factual health issues as well as

behaviour change issues around the transmission and infection of HIV/AIDS.

Residual impacts

The implementation of the above mitigation measures would ensure that the construction phase

significance is reduced to Minor- Moderate significance. A summary for the impact the construction

phase of the Project is present below.

5.2.2 Construction and Operation: Pressure on Social Infrastructure and Services

Impact Description

It is generally accepted that large-scale infrastructure projects attract jobseekers into the Project Area.

The Project is expected to stimulate in-migration as job-seekers enter the area with the intention of

securing employment on the Project. In-migration of people will be further stimulated by possibility of

business opportunities linked to the provision of goods and services to the Project, and by real or

perceived opportunities arising from the general increase in economic activity in the area.

It is likely that a number of people will continue to stay in the area irrespective of whether they are able to

secure employment and these people may move their families to the area. There is the possibility that

people will return to their place of origin or move on to seek employment elsewhere if there are no

employment opportunities for them, or when the construction phase is complete. The expected impacts

associated with an influx of jobseekers are:

• Pressure on existing social infrastructure – particularly housing, education and health facilities

The presence of the Project is likely to increase the rate of in-migration into the area, as people

are attracted to the area in the hope of securing employment. The increase in population is

expected to add pressure on existing infrastructure and services; specifically on housing services.

This could be further exacerbated if job seekers decide to relocate their families to the area.

An influx of jobseekers and their families would place pressure on health and education facilities. These

already understaffed clinics would be placed under pressure to cope with the increase in population

within their catchment.

Impact Assessment

The impacts related to pressure on social infrastructure and services will be an indirect impact. The

impacts will be negative as they will place pressure on infrastructure and services and the local

government, who will have to provide the services should the influx occur.

The impact will be experienced at a local level, within the ADI. The impacts will be long-term despite the

fact that the period of influx may be limited to the construction phase, the associated impacts will

continue to occur into the future. The scale of the impact will be medium, as the Project is not expected

to attract large volumes of in-migration and the degree of change for local population will therefore be

notable but will not dominate over existing conditions. The frequency of the impacts will not be uniform,

but will felt often until in-migration stabilises and upgrades to infrastructure are undertaken. The impact

is revisable as social infrastructure and services can be improved to address the impact. Given the

information presented above, the impact will be medium in magnitude.

The population within the area like Hospet has been increasing which has been attributed to the in-

migration of people seeking economic opportunities. Therefore, the vulnerability of receptors is

considered low.




Therefore, the significance of the impact is rated as Moderate, the level of in-migration, and

movement of job-seekers cannot be accurately predicted.

During the operational phase, there will limited employment opportunities and the Project is unlikely to

attract further job seekers.

Proposed Mitigation Measures

The Project will implement a grievance procedure that is easily accessible to the local community,

through which complaints related to contractor or

employee behaviour can be lodged and responded to. The Project will respond in a serious

manner to any such complaints. Key steps include:

• Circulation of contact details of ‘grievance officer’ or other key Project contact.

• Awareness raising among the local community regarding the grievance procedure and how it

works.

• Establishment of a grievance register to be updated and maintained by the Project.

Implement management measures associated with the prioritization of local labour, as outlined in

Section 5.1.1

Residual impacts

The implementation of the above mitigation measures would ensure that the construction phase

significance remains of Moderate significance.

5.2.3 Construction Phase: Impact on Human Health due to Air Emissions and Dust Generation

Impact Description

Most construction and activities generate dust, which settles on surrounding properties and land, and is

often more of a nuisance than a health issue. The dust is generally coarse, but may include fine

respirable particles (PM10) and these are known to be a risk to human health. Exhaust emissions from

construction vehicles and equipment typically include particulates (including PM10), carbon monoxide

(CO), nitrogen oxides (NOX), sulphur dioxide (SO2). The creation of dust associated with vehicle traffic

will be limited as most of the roads in the ADI are tar & paved.

Impact Assessment

The impacts on human health due to air emissions and dust generation will be a direct, negative impact.

The duration will be short-term, for the duration of the construction phase. The extent of the impact will

local, as the pollutants will be limited in dispersion and will occur onsite and around the main transport

routes. Based on the outcomes of the Air Quality Report of EIA , air emissions generated as a result of

construction phase activities not expected to have an adverse effect on health, therefore the degree of

change experienced by individuals will be negligible and the scale of the impact will be small. The impact

is considered reversible. The frequency of the impact will vary depending on construction activities, but it

will be often for the duration of the construction phase. Given the above factors, the magnitude of the

impact is considered small.

The vulnerability of receptors is considered low as the Project Site located in an industrial area with no

sensitive receptors located adjacent to the site. People living along transport routes have access to

health care and would be able to seek medical attention if their health was adversely affect by air

emissions.

Therefore it is anticipated that the significance of the impact will be negligible.

Mitigation

All of the mitigation measures outlined in EIA report must be implemented by the Project. In

addition, the Project will develop and implement a Grievance Mechanism to address stakeholder

concerns related to the Project in a timely manner.

Residual Impact

The implementation of mitigation measures will ensure that the impact remains of negligible

significance.

5.2.4 Operations Phase: Impact on Human Health due to Air Emissions

Impact Description

The operation of the integrated steel plant will result in emissions due to the operations , which could

result in decreases in air quality. Emissions of air pollutants from the integrated steel plant will result

during operations resulting in PM 10 & 2.5 , SOx, NOX, CO and CO2 emissions . Increased emissions

of any of these pollutants may not result in negative implications for human health as the emissions are

quiet low . In order to protect human health, air quality standards have been established and emissions

below these standards are considered to have a negligible impact on the health of communities.

Impact Assessment

The impacts on human health due to air emissions and dust generation will be a direct, negative impact.

The duration will be long-term, for the duration of the operation phase. The extent of the impact will local,

as the pollutants will be limited in dispersion, occurring onsite and adjacent to the site, as well as the

main transport routes. Based on the outcomes of the Air Quality Report, (Refere EIA report) for all

pollutants the predicted ambient concentrations are well below the respective National Ambient Air

Quality Standards (NAAQS). Therefore, air emissions generated as a result of the operation phase is not

expected to have an adverse effect on health - the degree of change experienced by individuals will be

negligible and the scale of the impact will be small. The impact is considered reversible. The frequency of

the impact will be constant, as the integrated steel plant will operate 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week. Given

the above factors, the magnitude of the impact is considered medium.




The vulnerability of receptors is considered low as the Project Site is located in an industrial area with no

sensitive receptors located adjacent to the site. People living along transport routes have access to

health care and would be able to seek medical attention if their health was adversely affect by air

emissions.

Therefore it is anticipated that the significance of the impact will be Minor (-ve).

Mitigation

All of the mitigation measures outlined in EIA report must be implemented by the Project.

In addition, the Project will develop and implement a Grievance Mechanism to address stakeholder


Residual Impact

The implementation of mitigation measures will ensure that the impact remains of Minor

significance.

5.3 INCREASED NUISANCE FACTORS AND CHANGE IN SENSE OF PLACE

The Project Site is located within an industrial area, adjacent to the Saldanha Steel facility. The land

immediately surrounding the site it utilised for industrial purposes, grazing or is vacant land. Within the

broader area, much of the surrounding land to the north and east is utilised for agriculture, nature

reserves.

There are existing visual intrusions around the Project Site, such as steel plants , railway lines ,

industrial , therefore, the landscape should not be seen as pristine.

The Project will introduce integrated steel plant and associated infrastructure such as a power plant,

substation and Operation and Maintenance (O&M) buildings into the area, within close proximity to

existing industrial infrastructure. The construction and operation of the Project will lead to an

increase in ambient noise, the generation of dust and increased traffic volumes, all of which have the

ability to alter the sense of place of the existing environment.

5.3.1 Construction and Phase: Increased Nuisance Factors and Change in Sense of Place

Impact Description

Impacts associated with air quality, traffic and noise have been assessed by specialists and are

discussed in EIA in Traffic Assessment Report, the Noise Impact Assessment Report and Air Quality

Report .

The Project will cause nuisance of the communities in the ADI due to noise, dust and vibration, as well as

increased traffic volumes during construction and .

Noise levels are expected to increase as a result of construction activities on site such as trucks that

deliver construction equipment and materials; earthworks using heavy machinery, and site preparation, or

piling activities if required.




Additional vehicle movements during peak periods are anticipated during the peak hour, the minibus,

taxis. The buses & cars will collect and dispatch the workforce in the vicinity of the site, including areas in

the ADI.

The anticipated ambient noise levels during the construction phase of the Project has been modelled and

based on the results thereof, it is anticipated that the change in ambient noise levels will be negligible

during construction.

The construction phase sound levels may impact on the ambient noise levels for an area will affect very

small radius from Project Site.

The increase in traffic volumes will be notable during peak traffic times in the morning and afternoon, and

may frustrate other road users, but the increase in traffic will be manageable through the implementation

of mitigation measures.

Dust associated with the Project will be largely limited to the Project site. While each of the above

mentioned impacts are considered to be largely manageable, the combined effect of the noise, dust and

traffic impacts are likely to have a negative impact on the sense of place for some stakeholders.

Impact Assessment

The impacts associated with increased nuisance factors and change in sense of place during construction

and will be a direct, negative impact. The duration will be short-term, for the duration of the construction

phase. The extent of the impact will local, limited to the site and immediate surrounds, as well as the local

transport routes. The scale of the impact will be medium. The impact is considered reversible. The

frequency of the impact will vary depending on construction activities, but it will be often as it relates to

nuisance factors, and constant as it relates to sense of place. Given the above factors, the magnitude of

the impact is considered medium.

The vulnerability of receptors is considered small to medium, as traffic volumes in the area are low, and

road users will find the increased traffic volumes quiet low . The construction phase sound levels may

impact on the ambient noise levels for an area very near to the Project Site.

Therefore it is anticipated that the significance of the impact will be Moderate negative.

Mitigation

All of the mitigation measures outlined in EIA report , Traffic Assessment Report, the Noise Impact

Assessment Report and Air Quality Report must be implemented by the Project.



Residual Impact




The implementation of mitigation measures will result in the impact being of Minor significance.

5.3.2 Operation Phase: Increased Nuisance Factors




Impact Description

The Project will cause nuisance to the communities in the ADI due to noise, dust and vibration, as well as

increased traffic volumes during operation. This will affect the communities and households closest to the

Project site and along the main access roads, as well as along the routes used to transport the workforce

to and from the site on a daily basis.

During operation, the integrated steel plant will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It is

anticipated that the change in ambient noise levels will be negligible during Phase 1 of the project and

lately during Phase 2, .This noise will have a more constant characteristic and will be perceived as a

humming sound. Operational phase sound levels may not impact the area beyond the facility.

The Project associated traffic will decrease during the operations phase as there will be fewer people

employed by the Project during this phase. Additional vehicle movements are associated with the

commuting of employees to and from work each day. Additional vehicle movements during peak periods

are anticipated.

The presence of the Project may alter the visual character of the landscape during the operation phase.

While the Project Site is not located in industrial area Based on a Visual Impact Assessment for a similar

integrated steel plant facility.

The Project will not be visible from tourism spots nor roads.

Impact Assessment

The impacts due to increased nuisance factors and change in sense of place during operation will be a

direct, negative impact. The duration will be long-term, for the duration of the operation phase. The

extent of the impact will local, limited to the site and immediate surrounds, as well as the local transport

routes. It is anticipated that the change in ambient noise levels will be negligible during Phase 1 of the

project and low during Phase 2 .The Project will not be visible from a any tourist areas . Given the

distance between the Project and the potential receptors, it can be concluded that while the Project will

not be visible, it will not dominate the landscape or detract from the receptors experience in of the area.

Never-the-less, for those receptors impacted by for increased nuisance factors and change in sense of

place the scale of the impact will be medium.

The impact is considered irreversible. The frequency of the impact will be constant for the duration of

the operation phase. Given the above factors, the magnitude of the impact is considered medium.




The vulnerability of receptors is considered medium as most sensitive receptors are located in quiet

areas, with low ambient noise levels, low traffic volumes, and are people who are attracted to the area

for outdoor.

Therefore it is anticipated that the significance of the impact will be Moderate (-ve).

Mitigation

The ability to which visual impacts can be managed is limited by the size of the facility and the

industry standards governing setbacks and fire control. However, the following measures should be

implemented to minimise the impact of lighting at night:

• Lighting should be limited to areas where it is required.

• Lights should be directional and avoid light spillage.

• Low-level lights should be used over flood lights along walkways.

All of the mitigation measures outlined in EIA report , the Traffic Assessment Report the Noise Impact

Assessment Report and Air Quality Report must be implemented by the Project.



Residual Impact

The implementation of mitigation measures will result in the remaining of Moderate negative

significance.

5.4 WORKER HEALTH AND SAFETY AND RIGHTS

Workers’ rights including occupational health and safety need to be considered to avoid accidents and

injuries, loss of man-hours, labour abuses and to ensure fair treatment, remuneration and working and

living conditions.

These issues will be considered not only for workers who are directly employed by the Project but also

contractors (including sub-contractors) and workers within the supply chain. The main risks in relation

to worker’s management and rights are associated with the use of contractors and subcontractors and

the supply chain.




The Project is expected create direct employment opportunities during the peak of the construction

period, which will be 2-3 years in duration. The majority of workers will be engaged by the EPC

contractor and will consist of a semi-skilled to skilled workforce. The operation phase is planned for a

lifespan of 25 - 30 years and will involve around 95 permanent site employees including skilled and

semi-skilled staff.

The expected impacts on worker rights and H&S as a result of construction, operation and activities and

Project operation are as follows:

• Risk to workers H&S due to construction and activities;

• Risk to workers H&S due to hazardous operation activities; and

• Violation of workers’ rights.

This impact assessment is based on the assumption that no specific Project H&S policies, procedures

and training provisions are in place for construction workers (both of EPC Contractor and subcontractors)

as limited information is available on this at the current Project stage.

5.4.1 Construction Phase: Risk to Workers’ H&S due to Construction Activities

Impact Description

The construction activities will involve the following main activities (in order of occurrence):

• Site preparation including levelling;

• Piling of the foundations;

• Concrete works in scope of building construction;

Details of the activities associated with are not yet detailed but will involve removal of all installed

infrastructure.

These activities will involve the operation of heavy equipment and trucks, working at height, working in

confined spaces, construction traffic, use of electric devices, handling of hazardous materials and other

hazardous activities. Due to the nature of the activities being undertaken during construction and ,

worker H&S is a key risk with the potential for accidents that may result in injuries and fatalities as well

as lost man-hours.

Within India , worker health and safety falls under the ambit of the Department of Labour, and is

primarily governed through the EPA 1986,Cosntrcors workers safety rules . Employees working

informally and those with limited or without awareness of their rights (for example, migrant workers, or

those newly entering the labour market) are likely to be most at risk of working in unsafe conditions.




Impact Assessment

The impact on worker health and safety from the Project will be a direct, negative impact. The duration

will be short-term, for the duration of the construction phase. The extent of the impact will be regional, as

it will affect those directly employed by the Project, as well as people employed in the supply chain. The

scale of the impact will be large for anyone adversely affected by a health and safety incident on the

Project, as they may experience a temporary loss of work time, or in the worst-case scenario may be

rendered permanently unable to work. In most instances, this impact is considered reversible, as

incidences can be addressed through medical intervention where required and health and safety can be

constantly improved to avoid future incidences. The frequency of the impact will not be uniform, but will

likely occur often the duration of the construction phase. The magnitude of the impact is therefore

considered Medium.

The vulnerability of the workers to this impact is considered low, as there are laws in place in India to

protect worker rights. However, migrant workers, or those newly entering the labour market may not be

aware of their rights, and people may be willing to compromise their rights to secure employment in light

of high unemployment rates.

The impact is therefore considered to be of Minor - Moderate negative significance.

Mitigation

• The Project will comply with all applicable India n legislation in terms of health and safety, and

worker rights, which will include access to workmans compensation for loss of income resulting from an

onsite incident.

• As part of the contractor and supplier selection process the Project will take into consideration

performance with regard to worker management, worker rights, health and safety as outlined in India n

law, international standards and the Project’s policies.

• The Project will provide support to contractors and subcontractors to ensure that labour and

working conditions are in line with India n law through capacity building.

• Workers will be provided with primary health care and basic first aid at construction camps

/worksites.

• Facilities and operations will be developed, planned and maintained such that robust barriers

are in place to prevent accidents. All employees have the duty to stop any works if adequate systems to

control risks are not in place.

• In line with the worker code of conduct employees should not be under the influence of

intoxicants which could adversely affect the ability of that employee to perform the work or adversely

affect the health and safety of other employees, other persons or the environment.

• The Project will provide of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), training and monitoring as

well as ongoing safety checks and safety audits.




Residual Impact

Following the implementation of mitigation measures the impact significance will be (post-mitigation) of

Minor negative significance.

IMPACT SIGNIFICANCE (PRE-MITIGATION): MINOR to MODERATE NEGATIVE IMPACT

SIGNIFICANCE (POST-MITIGATION): Enhancement measures will ensure the impact remains MINOR

NEGATIVE.




5.4.2 Operation Phase: Risk to Workers’ H&S due to Hazardous Operation Activities

Please note: For the operation of the Project the mitigation and prevention measures outlined above

for construction (Section 5.4.1) are considered as embedded controls.

Impact Description

Hazardous activities during the operation phase and regular maintenance activities will include, but not

be limited to; the operation of heavy equipment and trucks, use of electrical devices including high

voltage, working at height, maintenance of high pressure pipework and vessels and handling of

hazardous materials. During these activities the workers will be at risk for accidents and injury.

Impact Assessment

The impact on worker health and safety as a result of the Project will be a direct, negative impact. The

duration will be long-term, for the duration of the operation phase. The extent of the impact will be

regional, as it will affect those directly employed by the Project, as well as people employed in the supply

chain. The scale of the impact will be large for anyone adversely affected by a health and safety incident

on the Project, as they may experience a temporary loss of work time, or in the worst-case scenario may

be rendered permanently unable to work. In most instances, this impact is considered reversible, as

incidences can be addressed through medical intervention where required and health and safety can be

constantly improved to avoid future incidences. The frequency of the impact will not be uniform, but will

likely occur occasionally the duration of the operation phase. The magnitude of the impact is therefore

considered small.

The vulnerability of the workers to this impact is considered low, as there are laws in place in India to

protect worker rights and most employees will be highly skilled engineers and technicians, who have

likely been educated around their rights and H&S practices.

The impact is therefore considered to be of minor significance.

Mitigation

The implementation of mitigation measures defined for the construction phase will continued throughout

the operation phase with consideration in the health and safety management system of the specific risks

associated with operation and maintenance activities and the new size and structure of the workforce. In

this regard, mitigation measures outlined in Section 5.4.1 above are applicable to the operation.

Residual Impacts

The implementation of mitigation measures will ensure that the significance remains of minor negative

significance.

5.5 CUMULATIVE IMPACTS

The Project is located in an area ear-marked for further industrial development. The National

Department of Energy, through its Gas to Integrated steel Programme, is investigating the feasibility of

development of a gas-fired integrated steel station in the area. In addition, the IDZ is being promoted

as an oil and gas hub and industrial development is being encouraged in the area.

The preceding impact assessment assessed the socio-economic impacts associated with the Project

largely in isolation. It is important to, assess cumulative impacts associated with a proposed




development and there also is a legislated requirement in India to do so. The cumulative impacts on the

socio-economic environment are discussed below.

5.5.1 Method

There are numerous proposed developments in the area. At this stage, not all developments can be

confirmed and the timing of the developments is not known. A selection of similar developments and

those either confirmed or most likely have been considered in this cumulative impact assessment

including the existing & proposed industries .

The cumulative impact of the above mentioned projects, together with the Integrated steel Plant

may impact of the following:

• Economy, Employment and Skills

• Community Health Safety and Security

• Pressure on Social Infrastructure and Services

As per the ToR issued by MoEF&CC, the methodology described in Chapter 1 of EIA has been used

to assess the cumulative impacts.

5.5.2 Cumulative Impacts of the Socioeconomic Environment

Economy, Employment and Skills Development

Impact Description

The development of large scale industrial projects will result in increased direct and indirect employment

during the construction and operation of each of the projects. The nature and extent of the benefits will

depend on the employment strategy of the various developers and the extent to which they are

committed to maximise local employment.

There may be overlap between the construction phases of the Project with the other developments, or

they may run consecutively. Either way, this will result in a significant uplift in local employment directly

and indirectly through the procurement of goods and services. Furthermore, those that have been

employed by one of the developers may be in better position to find employment with the other

developers as they will have increased their skills and experience. As such, the potential for cumulative

positive benefits associated with economy, employment and skills development is considered to be

higher than for the Project alone.




The operation of the developments outlined will occur over the same period of time and will be located in

close proximity as such the economic, employment and skills development opportunities outlined will be

greater for all the projects combined then just for the Project development.

It should be noted that expectations regarding economic development, employment and skills

development will be high amongst stakeholders in the local community and as such, in the event that

one developer does not meet expectations, there is the potential for all developers to be the target of

this negative feedback.

Impact Assessment

The cumulative creation of local employment opportunities, skills enhancement and local business

opportunities will be a direct, indirect and induced impact. The duration will be medium to long-term, as

the Projects will not all happen concurrently. Employment will be created for Region at a local and

regional level depending on skills requirements of each project, as such the extent will be regional. For

those who are able to secure employment on the Project the scale will be medium to high, depending on

the duration of the contract. The magnitude of the impact will be positive.

Given the capacity of the local workforce to fill unskilled and semi-skilled employment positions,

together with the opportunity to increase skills and work experience, the vulnerability is medium.

The significance of the impact is rated as Moderate (+ve).


It is recommended the Project investigates opportunities to work with other developers to develop a

collaborative approaches to training, employment and skills development for the local population,

starting now in the run up to Project construction. This may include developing a coordinated standard

set of requirements for service providers (eg required labour numbers of carpenters, welders, Heavy

Goods Vehicle drivers, etc. and the minimum qualifications required for these) and making the

communities aware of these requirements. The developers should also plan and implement a

coordinated approach to community skills development based on these requirements.

Residual impacts

The implementation of the above mentioned mitigation measures will ensure that the positive impact on

the Economy, Employment and Skills Development remains moderate positive.

Community Health Safety and Security

Impact Description

The presence of an external workforce for the combined projects housed within the communities and

construction camps could increase the spread of communicable diseases and STIs such as HIV/AIDS.

The profile of these diseases will be influenced by the existing health profile of communities within the

area of influence of the project and that of the workers, which is difficult to predict for the various

projects.

Increased air emissions as a result of the Project and another integrated steel plant as well as additional

risks of industrial accidents and explosions could result in cumulative impacts on community health and

safety. However, according to the Air Quality Report (Annex D of EIR), the cumulative impact on air

quality is expected to be minor, and according to the QRA(Annex D of EIR), the cumulative risks

associated with the Project are acceptable.

While the Project alone is not expected to attract vast numbers of jobseekers to the area, the

development of multiple projects is likely to attract people seeking employment opportunities, particularly

in light of a declining agricultural sector in the West Coast District Body , and given that Area is already




seen as an economic hub. An influx of jobseekers will result in increased competition for employment

which may contribute locally to social tension and conflict within the local communities.

Impact Assessment

The impacts related to community health and safety in the Project Area will be indirect and negative. The

impact will be experienced at a local level, within the ADI. The duration of the impact will be long term, as

projects may occur over an extended period of time. The scale of the impact will be large for those

affected as it will lead to a fundamental change in their life, and/ or health status, particularly for those

affected by violence, unwanted pregnancies or HIV/ AIDS. For those affected, the impact will be largely

irreversible. Given the above, the magnitude of the impact is considered medium.

In light of this, the vulnerability of receptors is considered medium, however, teenage girls are

considered to be highly sensitive to this impact.

The significance of the impact is rated as Moderate negative overall, but the significance will be of

high negative to those affected by unwanted pregnancies and HIV/ AIDS.


• The Project should engage with other developers to ensure that community education and

awareness campaigns in relation to health, safety and security are developed and implemented

collaboratively to avoid duplication of effort.

• The Project should engage with its neighbours to develop combined emergency response plans

which take into account all the proposed developments and the community. This should consider

combined use of security personal and risks from unplanned events.

Residual impacts

The implementation of the above mitigation measures would ensure that the impact significance

remains that of Moderate.

A summary for the cumulative impact is present below.

Pressure on Social Infrastructure and Services

Impact Description

Related to the above, the influx of jobseekers together with presence of the workforce associated with

each Project could place additional pressure on the delivery of social infrastructure and services, in

particular housing. This is largely related to the unskilled workforce, as it is expected that the skilled and

semi-skilled workforce would be able to enter the housing market.

Projects that bring a large external unskilled workforce in the area and do not provide accommodation

will be increasing the burden on the provision of low cost housing.

Impact Assessment

The impacts related to increased pressure on existing social infrastructure and services will be an

indirect impact. The impacts will be negative as they will place pressure on infrastructure and services

and the local government, who will have to provide the services as demand grows.

The impact will be experienced at a local level, within the ADI. The impacts will be long-term as the

provision of social infrastructure and services may take time to catch-up with the increased demand. The

scale of the impact will be medium, as it will notable but will not dominate over existing conditions. The

impact is revisable as social infrastructure and services can be improved to address the impact. Given

the information presented above, the impact will be medium in magnitude. The population within the area

has been increasing at a rate greater than expected which has been attributed to the in-migration of

people seeking economic opportunities.

Therefore, the significance of the impact is rated as Moderate negative.


Mitigation measures implemented by the Project, particularly a commitment to employing local labour

will help to minimise this impact, however, the potential impact on social infrastructure and services




remains that of moderate, as the Project cannot influence how other developments employ or house

their workforce.

Residual Impact

The impact significance remains of Moderate significance. A summary for the impact is present below.

5.6 UNPLANNED EVENTS

An unplanned event is a reasonably foreseeable event that is not planned to occur as part of the

Project (i.e. would not occur as part of routine operating procedures), but which may conceivably occur

as a result of Project activities (e.g. accidents). The risks of unplanned events related to the Project are

accessed in EIA report.




6. KEY FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Both potential positive and negative socio-economic impacts associated with the development of the

MASPL Integrated steel Plant have been identified and assessed through this SIA. The key findings

have been summarized below.

• Employment creation, skills enhancement and local business opportunities: The Project will

create up to 1000 (tentatively inc. contract persons) employment opportunities during the construction

phase and 730 person during the operation phase. It is anticipated the unskilled and to a large extent

semi-skilled workforce will be drawn from the local area. Those who secure employment will benefit from

on the job training which will leave them well-placed to secure future employment on similar projects.

• Impacts on community health and safety: The presence of the Project may not majorly affect the

health, safety and security of the communities in the area of influence as a result of worker-community

interactions, in-migration to the area, increased disposable income in the local community, the risk of

injury associated with construction and activities, increased pressure on health care resources and

changes to the environment. Air emissions, noise and increased traffic associated with the Project are

also considered impacts that may affect community health and safety temporarily.

The impacts on community health and safety range from minor to moderate, however, with the

implementation of management measures, these impacts will be minor in significance, with the

exception of impacts associated with the presence of the workforce. This is largely due to the long-term

impacts that may arise from incidence of HIV/ AIDS.

• Worker health and safety and rights: Workers’ rights, including occupational health and safety

need to be considered to avoid accidents and injuries, loss of man-hours, labour abuses and to ensure

fair treatment, remuneration and working and living conditions. The development of health and safety

plans and policies will ensure that this impact is of minor significance.

The implementation of management measures detailed in this report, as well as in other specialist

reports are fundamental to ensuring that negative impacts associated with the Project are managed, and

the positive impacts are enhanced. Key management measures are summarized below.

• The Project will establish a recruitment policy which prioritises the employment of Indian and

local residents (originating from the Local Body) over outsiders. Criteria will be set for prioritising

local residents and then other states as part of the recruitment process.

• All contractors will be required to recruit in terms of the Project’s recruitment policy,

where practical.




• The Project will develop an induction programme, including a Code of Conduct, for all workers

directly related to the project. A copy of the Code of Conduct to be presented to all workers and signed by

each person. The Code of Conduct must address the following aspects:

• respect for local residents and customs; o zero tolerance of bribery or corruption;

• zero tolerance of illegal activities by construction personnel including: unlicensed prostitution;

illegal sale or purchase of alcohol; sale, purchase or consumption of drugs; illegal gambling or fighting;

• no alcohol and drugs policy during working time or at times that will affect ability to work;

• Description of disciplinary measures for infringement of the Code and company rules. If workers

are found to be in contravention of the Code of Conduct, which they signed at the commencement of their

contract, they will face disciplinary procedures that could result in dismissal.

• The Project will implement a grievance procedure that is easily accessible to the local

community, through which complaints related to contractor or employee behaviour can be lodged and

responded to. The Project will respond in a serious manner to any such complaints. Key steps include:

• circulation of contact details of ‘grievance officer’ or other key Project contact; awareness

raising among the local community regarding the grievance procedure and how it works; and

establishment of a grievance register to be updated and maintained by the Project.

• The Project will develop and implement an HIV/AIDS policy and information document for all

workers directly related to the Project. The information document will address factual health issues as

well as behaviour change issues around the transmission and prevention of of HIV/AIDS.

• All of the mitigation measures outlined in EIA & EMP reports , Traffic Assessment Report , the

Noise Impact Assessment Report and Air Quality Report must be implemented by the Project.

7. IMPACT STATEMENT

The findings of the Social Impact Assessment for the MASPL Integrated steel Plant indicate that the

Project will have positive benefits for the local community through the creation of employment and skills

enhancement, during both the construction and operation phases. While potential negative impacts

associated with the Project have been identified, these can be managed through the implementation of

the mitigation measures outlined in this SIA, the EIA and EMP.

It is, therefore, recommended that the Project be supported subject to the implementation of the

mitigation measures outlined in this SIA, the EIA & EMP.

The safety cap/emergency stack of rotary kiln

type plant, which isgenerallyinstalled above the

After Burner Chamber(ABC) of feedend column

shouldnotbeused for discharging untreated

emission, bypassingthe air pollution control device.

Not Applicable

In order to prevent bypassing of emissions through

safety cap and non-operation of ESP or any

other pollution control device, software

controlled interlocking facility should be provided

on the basis of real time data from the plant

control system, to ensure stoppage of feed

conveyor, so that, feed to the kiln would stop

automatically, if safety cap of the rotary kiln is

opened or ESP is not in operation. The system

should be able to take care of multiple operating

parameters and their inter relations to prevent

any possibility of defeating the basic objective of

the interlock. The system should be foolproof to

prevent any kind of tempering. The software

based interlocking system, proposed to be

installed by industry should be get approved by

the concerned StatePollution Control Board, for its

adequacy, before installation by the industry.

Not Applicable

Mechanical operated system for timely collection

and removal of the flue dust generated in ESP or

any other pollution control device shall be

installed

Bag House & Chimney of

adequate Height

Stack Emission from de-dusting units

All de-dusting units should be connected to a stack

having a minimum stack height of 30 m. Sampling

porthole and platform etc. shall be provided as per

CPCB emission regulation to facilitate stack

monitoring. De-dusting units can also be

connected to ABC Chamber and finally emitted

through common stack with kiln off-gas emissions

It will be adhered

accordingly

Fugitive Emission

The measurement may be done, preferably on 8-

hour basis with high volume sampler. However,

depending upon the prevalent conditions at the site,

the period of measurement can be reduced.

Steps will be taken to control

fugitive dust emission.

2 Effluent Discharge

i. All efforts should be made toreuse and re- circulate

thewater and to maintain zero effluent discharge.

ii. Storm water / garland drain should be provided in

the plant.

In the proposed project

approximately 30 KLD Effluent

is generated which shall be

treated in Effluent Treatment

Tank and then reused for

gardening and dust

suppression purpose.There

will be no effluent released

from the Rolling Mill and

hence MASPL will adhere to

“Zero Liquid Discharge” for

this proposed project.

3 Noise Control

The industry should take measures to control the

NoisePollution so thatthe noise level standards

already notified for industrial area are complied.

It will be adhered

accordingly

4 Solid Waste Management

Char :

Char should be mixed with coal or coal

washery rejects and used as fuel in Fluidized Bed

Combustion Boilers (FBC) for generation of power.

The plants having capacity 200TPD and above

shouldinstall Fluidized Bed Combustion Boilers (FBC)

for generation of power. Also the smaller capacity

individual Sponge Iron Plants (Capacity upto 100

TPD) and operating in cluster can collectively

install common Fluidized Bed Combustion Boilers

(FBC) for power generation. The Sponge Iron Plant

are free to explore other options / possibilities to

use char for generation of power.

Char can be sold to local entrepreneurs for making

coal briquettes. It can also be mixed with coal fines,

convertedto briquettes and used inbrick kilns. Under

no circumstanceschar shouldbe disposedoff in

agricultural fields/other areas. Logbook for daily

record, of Char production and usage must be

maintained by the industry and the record shall be

made available to officials of CPCB/SPCB/PCC

during inspection.

Not Applicable

Kiln Accretions:

The kiln accretions are heavy solid lumpsand

can be used as sub- base material for road

construction or landfill, after ascertaining the

composition for its suitability and ensuring that it

should not have any adverse environmental impact.

Not Applicable

Gas Cleaning Plant (GCP)/Scrubber Sludge

The sludge should be compacted and suitably

disposed off after ascertaining the composition for its

suitabilityand ensuring that it should not have

any adverse environmental impact.

Not Applicable

Flue Dust / Fly ash

Flue dust is generated from air pollution control

system i.e. ESP or any other air pollution control

system installedwith kiln. Secondary flue dust is also

generated from Bag Filters or any other air pollution

control equipment installed with Raw Material

Handling, Coal Crusher, Cooler Discharge and

Product house unit. The reuse/ recycling of the flue

dust generated / collected may be explored and

suitably implemented.

Fly ash brick manufacturingplant should be installed

for fly ash utilization. Fly ash can be utilized in

cement making by Cement industry also.

Not Applicable

Bottom Ash

Bottom ash may have objectionable metallic

compounds, thereforeshould be stored in properly

designed landfills as per CPCB guidelines to prevent

leaching to the sub-soil and underground aquifer.

Not Applicable

General

(a) Solid waste management program should be

prepared with thrust on reuse and recycling.

Solid waste disposal site should be earmarked within

the plant premises. The storage site of solid waste

should be scientifically designed keeping in view

that the storage of solid waste should not have

any adverse impact on the air quality or water

regime, in any way.

It will be adhered

accordingly

(b) The various types of solid wastes

generated should be stored separately as per CPCB

guidelines so that it should not adversely affect

the air quality, becoming air borne by wind or water

regime during rainy season by flowing along with

the storm water.

It will be adhered

accordingly

Raw Material handling and Preparation

Unloading of coal by trucks or wagons should

becarried out with proper careavoiding dropping

of the materials from height. It is advisable to

moist the material by sprinkling water while

unloading.

Not Applicable

Crushing and screening operation should be carried

out in enclosed area. Centralized de- dusting facility

(collection hood and suction arrangements

followed by de-dusting unit like bag filter or ESP

or equally effective method or wet scrubber and

finally discharge of emission through a stack)

should be provided to control Fugitive

Particulate Matter Emissions. The stack should

confirm to the emissionstandards notified for de-

dusting units. Water sprinkling arrangement should

be providedat raw material heaps and on land

aroundthe crushing and screening units.

Not Applicable

Work area includingthe roads surrounding the plant

shall be asphalted or concreted.

It will be adhered

accordingly

Enclosure should be provided for belt conveyors and

transfer points of belt conveyors.

The above enclosures shall be rigid and

permanent (and not of flexible/ cloth type

enclosures) and fitted with self- closing doors and

close fitting entrances and exits, where conveyors

pass through the enclosures. Flexible covers shall be

installed at entry and exit of the conveyor to

the enclosures, minimizing the gaps around the

conveyors.

In the wet system, water sprays/ sprinklers shall be

provided at the following strategic locations for

dust suppression during raw

material transfer:

- Belt conveyor discharge/ transfer point

- Crusher/screen discharge locations
