Proposed Captive Co-Generation Plant

For generating 120 MW from the proposed captive co-generation plant, steam generation of 250 TPH which was

already proposed in previous environment clearance application (which is yet to be installed) will be used and a new

steam generation capacity of 250 TPH shall be procured.

Steam turbine generators will be extraction cum condensing turbines. Total steam generated from the boilers will

drive turbines, which in turn will produce the above mentioned steam through extraction and power while operating

in extraction cum condensing mode.

The imported coal will be fed to furnace of the CFBC Boilers through feeders from the coal storage. Limestone will be

added to coal to reduce SOx emission. The saturated steam will be generated in the boiler drum and passed to the

primary, secondary & final super heaters to get the superheated steam from the boilers. The superheated steam will

be fed to the steam turbine and it rotates the steam turbine which is coupled with generators. 120 MW power will be

generated in the generators and distributed in house and partly steam will be used in process.

Air cooled condensers will be provided which will reduce water consumption by 11,520 KLD.

1.1.2 Utilities

1.1.3 Manpower

During the construction phase around additional 250 workers will be hired. During operation phase, project will

generate additional direct employment for more than 100 people along with additional indirect employment for

around 100 people.

1.1.4 Air Emissions & Control

Point Source Emissions (SPM, SO2 & NOx) from boiler stack shall be controlled by multistage ESP with one filed

extra;

Line Source Emissions (CO, HC, PM, NOx) from additional ~ 50-60 trucks is anticipated;

Specific instances of fugitive dust generation include dust blow down by wind from the stockpiles of various

solid materials viz. coal and lime, dust caused by vehicular traffic within the factory, dust emissions from

conveyors, conveyor transfer points, silos, storage hoppers etc.

1.1.5 Noise

Noise generation sources are the heavy machinery like crane, dumper, roller, bulldozers, boiler, generator,

compressors, DG sets, etc. & vehicular movement for transportation of raw materials.

1.1.6 Waste Water Generation & Disposal

Waste water generated from proposed captive co-generation unit will be treated as follows:

Boiler Blowdown, RO1 & DM reject and auxiliary cooling tower blowdown having low TDS, will be used in coal

dust suppression.

No change in existing waste water treatment scheme is envisaged. As mentioned in the earlier environment

clearance, waste water generated from the existing plants will be treated as follows:

Stream 1: The wastewater generated from DM Plant stream along with wastewater generated from the

Caustic Plant, Trichloroisocyanuric acid Plant, Hydrogen Peroxide Plant, Chloro Sulphonic Acid plant. After

giving appropriate primary treatment to reduce suspended solids and turbidity, while also controlling the pH, it

will be merged with outlet of Stream 2 for deep sea disposal.

Stream 2: Boilers Blowdown, process plant condensate, primary RO & DM reject and auxiliary cooling tower

blowdown having low TDS, will be merged and passed through RO (~3,000 KLD). Permeate from RO will be

reused in the plant while concentrated reject will be mixed with Stream 1, free from organics and heavy

metals, and disposed to sea

Stream 3: Organic streams from MCB, ONCB/PNCB, 2,4, DNCB and washings will be separately treated in ETP

having capacity ~ 325 KLD. Treated water will be fully recycled & reused in the process/utilities.

There will be no additional final waste water discharge.

Around 6,052 KLD (additional 125 KLD) waste water will be generated after proposed project. Treated water from

STP will be reused in gardening, hence it will further reduce fresh water consumption. ~41% of waste water

generated, i.e. 2,493 KLD (additional 125 KLD) treated water will be recycled and reused. Remaining treated waste

M/S. BODAL



OF EIA REPORT


water will be collected in collection pond and after meeting the final GPCBs discharge norms, finally ~ 3,559 KLD

treated water will be discharged in GIDC pumping station for deep sea disposal.

1.1.7 Hazardous & Other Solid Waste

The following solid / hazardous wastes will be generated during operations:

Hazardous Waste: Used/Spent Oil, Discarded drums & containers;

Non Hazardous Waste: Fly Ash;

Domestic Solid Waste: Paper and Food waste;

Small amounts of e-waste and scrap.

These will be managed as per the applicable Rules, mainly, Hazardous Waste (Management, Handling, Storage and

Transboundary) Rules 2016, and Fly Ash Notification, 2016 as amended till date.

1.2 DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

1.2.1 Study Period, Area & Monitoring/Sampling Locations

Baseline environmental study was carried out for 14 weeks, from 1st March, 2018 to 18th June, 2018 (Summer

Season) within 10 Km radius of the project site.

Air monitoring was carried out at 8 locations. Noise measurement was carried out at 8 locations. Surface water

samples from 7 locations (6 samples from ponds & 1 sample from river), ground water samples from 8 locations (all

Borewells) and soil samples from 8 locations were collected and analysed.

1.2.2 Land Use and Land Cover

Land use of study area is classified as Agricultural land (~ 79.6%), Vegetation cover (~ 16.8%), Buildup Land &

Habitation (~ 1.5%), Water bodies (~ 1.0%) & Waste land (~ 0.9%).

1.2.3 Meteorology

As per the long-term climatological tables (1961-1976) published by Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) for

Broach (Station ID: 42841), during summer season, temperature ranges from 18.6 – 39.9ºC, in morning & evening

relative humidity ranges 65 – 74 % and 29 – 39 % respectively, average wind speed was recorded as 2.8 m/sec.

and the predominant wind direction was recorded to be blowing from SW to NE direction (44.5%).

Site specific meteorological data was collected at existing unit, at ~ 1.0 Km in S direction from project site.

Minimum and maximum temperature were recorded as 22.1°C & 46.2°C respectively. Mean hourly relative humidity

was 26.7%. Average wind speed & predominant wind direction were 2.2 m/sec & from SW to NE (27.0 %)

respectively. Calm wind contributed to about 8.83%.

1.2.4 Ambient Air Quality

The broad findings of the ambient air quality monitoring are:

Average concentration of PM10 recorded in the range from minimum 47 µg/m3 (At Vagra Village) to maximum

77 µg/m3 (At Juned);

Average concentration of PM2.5 recorded in the range from minimum 15 µg/m3 (At Project site & Vagra Village)

to maximum 23 µg/m3 (At Juned Village);

It is noted that the maximum PM10 results exceed the permissible limit of 100 µg/m3 for 24 Hrs. at Juned,

Vastikhandali & Bhersam village which could be due to:

Burning of domestic fuel for household purposes;

Influence of windy atmosphere;

Vehicular movement on the “kaccha” road connecting to main highway.

M/S. BODAL



OF EIA REPORT


The concentration of SO2 (5.0 – 14.7 µg/m3), NOx (10.0 – 24.0 µg/m3), CO (<0.57 – 2.42 mg/m3) & HC (796 –

1,272 µg/m3) are within permissible limits as prescribed by CPCB & Factories act;

The concentration of HCl is below detectable limit.

1.2.5 Noise Levels

Noise level varied from 52 dB (at Vargama Village) to 75 dB (At Vorasamni) during day time and 42 dB (at Project

boundary South side) to 63.8 dB (at Vorasamni) during night time.

Noise level at residential area during day & night time was slightly higher than the CPCB standards which could be

due to vehicular movements on nearby roads and construction activities in surrounding area.

1.2.6 Water Quality

Surface water (Pond & River)

DO value observed low at Juned & Vorasamni ponds due to algae formation and may be due to mixing of some

sewage part.

The parameter BOD is observed high at Juned & Vorasamni ponds.

TDS, hardness and chlorides are high at Vorasamni & Vagra ponds due to salinity ingress in the nearby area.

Based on above results, the quality of Juned, Vorasamni & Vagra ponds are compared with Class E as per

classification of Inland Surface water standard and water can be used for Irrigation and industrial cooling.

The quality of Vilayat, Bhersam, Saykha pond & Bhukhi River near Vilayat are compared with class C and it can

be used for drinking purpose with conventional treatment followed by disinfection.

Ground water (Borewells, Openwells & Handpumps)

It is observed that ground water quality, as per IS 10500:2012 standard limits for drinking water, deviates for

following parameters (all unit in mg/lit) at different villages:

TDS at Juned (4,716), Ankot (2,856), Vagra (2,756) & Saykha (2,248);

Chlorides at Juned (2,216), Ankot (1,259) & Vagra (1,018);

Total Hardness at Ankot (680), Vorasamni (640) & Vagra (710);

Magnesium at Juned (151), Ankot (118), Vorasamni (114) & Vagra (124).

The observed higher concentration of TDS, Chloride & Sulphate is due to saline geological formations. Higher

concentration of Total Hardness, Nitrate, Fluoride, Calcium and Magnesium is due to near proximity of Arabian Sea.

1.2.7 Soil Quality

It is observed that at different locations:

The porosity in the range from 48 to 63 % and WHC varied from 59.9 to 73.5 %;

The soil permeability in the range from 1.33 to 25.2 mm/hr;

Soil texture were either Silty Clay, Clay, Loam or Sandy Loam;

The EC of soil ranged from 215 to 545 μmhos/cm which indicates soil is saline in nature;

The pH of soil ranged from 6.38 to 8.45, which indicates that soils are neutral to slightly alkaline;

Among water soluble cations predominance of sodium was seen followed by K, Mg & Ca.

The overall soil quality indicates that soils are normal, which is not under cultivation since long and whatever salts

are there, are washed off or leached down due to rain water over the years.

infrastructure.

1.3 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

1.3.1 Air Environment

Dispersion modelling (using “AERMOD” modelling software) was carried out for point and line sources. This

indicates:

Maximum 24 hourly average GLC’s for PM10 (1.68 µg/m3), SO2 (3.03 µg/m3) & NOx (3.03 µg/m3) are within 750

m towards NE direction from the proposed site;

Average incremental GLC’s at all villages will continue to be well within specified norms of CPCB for ambient air

quality.

Mitigation Measures for Air Quality Impacts:

M/S. BODAL



OF EIA REPORT


CFBC Boilers will be purchased having higher sulphur reduction efficiency by Lime dosing;

Adequate height of 85 m will be provided as per the statutory requirements to flue gas stacks attached to

boilers. APC like Cyclone separators, bag filters & ESPs will be installed;

Online sensors for SPM, SO2 & NOx shall be provided with flue gas stack attached to boilers;

Plant load will be maintained so that the air emissions are within the prescribed limits;

Effective water spraying will be done on the access roads to control re-entrained dust during dry season (if

required);

Proper operating procedures will be followed during startup and shutdown;

Proper PPE like dust masks will be provided to workers and its use will be ensured;

Regular Work place monitoring will be done.

1.3.2 Traffic

To ensure smooth traffic movement in the plant, proper in and out movement will be ensured. PUC certified

vehicles, covered with tarpaulins, will be used for handling of coal.

1.3.3 Water Environment

No withdrawal of groundwater is proposed in the project. Hence, ground water will not be impacted. Following

mitigation measures will be implemented to minimize the impact on the water environment:

During construction phase, sewage will be disposed into soak pit and septic tank. Regular cleaning will be

carried out.

Treated water will be recycled and reused in process make up and utilities.

Properly designed effluent drains will be provided & inflow will be diverted to ETP & RO for necessary

treatment. Separate ETP will be provided for organic streams and plant wash water.

Drip irrigation system will be implemented for greenbelt development to reduce fresh water demand.

Process, chemical fuel storage and handling area will have proper bunds and dyke walls as applicable so that

contaminated run-off cannot meet the storm-water line. In case of leakage, leaked fuel/chemical shall be

immediately transferred to the spare tank;

Rainwater harvesting from rooftop shall be done.

The overall impact on surface water quality will be negligible by following all precautionary measures as mentioned

in mitigation measures

During the heavy rainfall, water through internal storm water drains will meet nearest storm water drain

constructed by GIDC leading to Estuary.

1.3.4 Land Environment

Land is allotted to BODAL by GIDC. Change in the land use, from barren (scrub land) to industrial use is envisaged.

Following mitigation measures will be implemented to minimize the impact on the land environment:

Generated hazardous wastes during project operation will be transported to an authorized Treatment, Storage

and Disposal Facility (TSDF) site;

Storage areas for hazardous waste, fuel & raw material will be impervious and will be designed to prevent

Leachate penetration.

Consequently impacts on land and soil will be negligible.

1.3.5 Biological Environment

Removal of common site specific floral species from barren land of project site will not have significant or

permanent impact on the habitat structure of associated faunal diversity.
