COMPLIANCE STATUS OF ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE AS ON DATE EC Reference No. - J.13011/ 2/ 2001 – IA.II (T) Dated – 17.08.2001 EC Granted for - 2 x 55 MW Power Plant

SN Condition Compliance as on date

01 All the conditions stipulated by MP state Pollution Control Board vide their letter No 17277/TS/MPPCB/2000 dt 26th September 2000 should be strictly implemented.

Implemented.

02 A stack of height 97 mts should be installed with continuous monitoring system.

Stack height is 97 meters. Continuous monitoring system (Particulate Matter and gaseous monitors) has been installed and results are linked to CPCB server.

03 Electro Static Precipitator having efficiency of not less than 99.8% should be installed and it should be ensured that particulate emission would not exceed the prescribed limit of 150 mg/Nm3.

BHEL’s make Electrostatic Precipitator having efficiency of more than 99.8% installed. Stack emissions are well within the limit prescribed by CECB. Please refer Annexure – 1.

04 For use of mixed fuel, atmospheric fluidized technology should be installed with provision of lime injection for reduction in SO2 emissions if found critical.

The boilers are based on Atmospheric Fluidized (AFBC) Technology as recommended. Lime injection is used for reduction of SO2 as and when required.

05 For controlling and reducing NOx levels in ambient air quality and also to curtail further addition, low NOx burners should be used and movement of trucks in and around project premises should be regularized and streamlined.

Adequate precautions are taken to control NOx emission. The truck movement in the premises is very negligible.

06 Water requirement of 812 cu.m/hr required for various plant activities such as cooling, processing, domestic etc should be drawn from Kelo River through the existing 11Km long pipeline. For meeting the requirement in the lean season, a reservoir of capacity 250000 cu.m should be constructed within the plant premises covering an area of 1.2 ha.

Present water requirement is much below due to production variations.

07 Closed circuit cooling towers with induced drafts should be incorporated in the design of the project. No wastewater shall be permitted to be discharged outside the plant premises even during rainy season. For supplementing the river water, water-harvesting structures should be designed within the plant premises.

Closed circuit cooling towers exist and water is fully recycled and reused. Rainwater harvesting practices are implemented for water conservation by creating recharge structure, roof top rainwater harvesting, injection wells and developing reservoirs.

The state Board may specify more stringent standards for the relevant parameters keeping in view the nature of the industry and its size and location. At no time the emission level should go beyond the prescribed standards. In the event of failure of any pollution control system adopted by the unit, the respective unit should not be restart unit the control measures are rectified to achieve the desired efficiency.

Adequate pollution control systems are installed to keep emission within prescribed limit. We regularly monitor stack emissions in the Blast Furnace and Submerged Arc Furnace and monthly report is submitted to the Board. Results of stack monitoring are enclosed as Annexure – 1. We are in regular practice to submit intimation report to CECB during shut down and light-up for any kind of failure of any pollution control system.
