2. The M i n i s t r y of Env i r onment , Forest a n d Cl imate Change has examined the appl icat ion. I t is no ted t h a t the proposa l is for Expans i on of sugar capacity f rom 3500 TCD to 5000 TCD a n d es tab l i shment of 24 MW Co-Generat ion power p l an t at village & Tehsi l Walwa, D i s t r i c t - Sangl i , M a h a r a s h t r a by M/s Padmabhushan Krant iveer Dr . Nagnath A n n a Nayakawadi H u t a t m a K i san A h i r Sahakar i Sakhar K a r k h a n a L td . As in fo rmed an d as per the documents s u b m i t t e d by the Project proponent (PP), the to ta l area available w i t h the factory is 26.0 Hectares. O u t of w h i c h 8.667 Hectares w i l l be used for green belt development. The t o ta l project cost is ? 196 Crores. I t is reported t h a t no na t i ona l p a r k / wi ld l i fe sanc tuary/ coral f o rmat i on reserve is located w i t h i n 10 k m distance f r om the project site. River K r i s h n a is f l owing at a d istance of 2.2 K m . The fo l lowing is the con f i gura t i on of the proposed u n i t :

3. A l l Sugar i n d u s t r y are l i s ted at S.N. 5 (j) of Schedule of Env i r onmen ta l Impac t Assessment (EIA) Not i f i cat ion u n d e r category 'B'. However, due to the presence of a lready ex is t ing 30 KLPD molasses based d ist i l l ery , the project is

considered under Category 'A' and are appraised at Central Level by Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC).

4. The project proposal was considered by the Expert Appraisal Committee (Industry-2) i n its 1 1 t h meeting held during 26 t h and 27th August, 2013; 6 t h

meeting held dur ing 30 t h March to 0 2 n d April , 2016 and 14 t h meeting held during 26 t h -27 t h October, 2016. The Project Proponent and the accredited consultant M/s Water and waste water research Centre, Sangli (Dr. Subbarao's Environment Centre), gave a detailed presentation on the salient features of the project and proposed environmental protection measures to be undertaken, as per Terms of References (TORs) awarded in the 1 1 t h meeting of the EAC held during 26 t h and 27th August, 2013 for preparation of EIA-EMP report. The TOR has been issued vide Ministry's letter of even no. dated 14 t h November, 2013.

5. Public Hearing for the proposed project has been conducted by the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board on 26 t h August, 2015. The EAC has deliberated upon the issues raised during the public hearing. The concerns were raised regarding impact of wastewater discharge, ash management plan, water pollution control measures, etc. The EAC noted that the issues have satisfactorily been responded by the project proponent and incorporated in the final EIA-EMP report.

6. The PP received the Environmental Clearance vide File J - l 1011/661/2007-IA II(I) dated 17* September 2007 for establishing 30 KLPD Distillery, expansion of sugar factory capacity from 2500 TCD to 3500 TCD and establishing 18 MW cogeneration plant. Regional Office of Ministry at Nagpur vide letter dated 5-51/2007 (ENV)-759 dated 10.08.2016 has submitted the certified compliance report.

7. The PP has informed the EAC that the ambient air quality (AAQ) monitoring was carried out at 6 locations during December 2012-February 2013. The baseline data indicates that the ranges of concentrations as:- PM10 (34 )ug/m3 to 55 |jg/rri3), PM2.5 (12 ng/m3 to 20 Hg/m3), S02 (6 ng/m3 to 12 ug/m3) and NOx (10 Hg/m3 to 16 |ig/m3). AAQ modelling study for point source emissions indicates that the maximum incremental GLCs after the proposed project would be 60.77 |ig/m3 and 25.01 jjg/m.3 with respect to PM and NOx respectively. The resultant concentrations are wi th in the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).

8. The PP has confirmed to the EAC that Wet Scrubber system wil l be installed in the flue gas in order to reduce suspended particulate matter. However, the EAC suggested PP to install ESP having 99.9 % efficiency shall be provided as air pollution control equipment to meet emission standards. I t is proposed to have 1 No. of 140 TPH capacity Bagasse fired Boiler. Boiler shall be provided wi th a stack of 3500 mm dia. and 70 m. Height. The total water requirement for the expansion project of Sugar and Cogeneration is 3670 m 3/Day (i.e. Industr ial use - 3570 m3/day and Domestic - 100 m 3/day) and wi l l be drawn from Krishna River. The total quantity of waste water generated per day shall not exceed 1180 m 3/day. The domestic effluent of 30 m 3/day is treated in septic tanks followed by filters and used for irrigation/ gardening. Thus the process effluent of 440 cum/day only require treatment. The industry has already provided full fledged Effluent Treatment Plant facilities for 440 cum/day which would be adequate for the proposed sugar factory of the expanded capacity of 5000 TCD. Existing stone

media of anaerobic filter in ETP shall be replaced wi th plastic media to improve the efficiency of anaerobic filter. PP confirmed that they wil l spend 5 % of the project cost for Corporate social responsibility. As per the revised water balance chart submitted by the PP, the fresh water consumption dur ing the season wil l be 586.13 m 3/day and in the off season fresh water requirement wi l l be 492.55 m.3/day and effluent generation wil l be 494.20 Cum/day and 246.74 Cum/day during season and off season respectively.

9. The EAC, i n its 14* meeting held during 26 t h -27 t h October, 2016, has found that the final EIA/EMP report submitted by the PP is adequate. The EAC after detailed deliberations, on the basis of the information and presentation made by the PP, has recommended the project for environmental clearance wi th certain conditions.
