Based on the consideration of the documents submitted, the presentation made by the project proponent and discussion held, the Committee then decided that project proponent should be asked to submit the clarification regarding points raised during the presentation. Project proponent then assured the committee to submit the desired information at the earliest. Committee then decided that after receipt of the requisite information, the information/documents should be placed before the committee for consideration of Environmental Clearance as per Environment Impact Assessment Notification, 2006. Accordingly, project proponent submitted the desired information on 13/04/09. The submitted information/documents were considered by SEAC, Chhattisgarh in 30th meeting on 08/05/2009.

Project proponent informed that:- Local species Mahua, karanj, Neem, Jamun, Aam, Arjun etc. will be given

preference for green belt. Selection of broad leaf local plant species for the development of green belt will be ensured.

Copy of Preliminary Feasibility Report for availability of water in Lilagarh River submitted to Water Resources Department, Government of Chhattisgarh is submitted along with the agenda note of WRD, Korba, WRD Bilaspur vide letter dated 13/04/09. As per the agenda note, the water requirement of 3.09 MCM can be created by Lilagarh River in spite of previous allocations of 7.5 MCM as the annual yield of the river is 52.65 MCM which conclusively establishes the availability of water from Lilagarh River for the project.

Transportation route map (from SECL Dipka mines to the project site via Tivarta, Kekranar, rainpur & Bhandhakhar) for the transportation of fuel and ash is submitted. The total distance is 12.8 kms. The route from SECL Dipka mines to Bhandhakhar is maintained by SECL. Project proponent will construct the approach road from the plant site to SECL maintained Dipka – Pali road (0.7 kms.) Project proponent will be responsible for its regular maintenance and upkeep.

Undertaking for financial provision of Rs. 100.00 lacs or 5% of net profit (whichever will be higher) per annum for various CSR activities is submitted.

Possibility of railway siding : Chief Engineer (PRG -I) CSEB has entrusted M/s Wardha Paower Company Private Limited to coordinate amongst all the investors who are interested for supply of coal to their respective project site


through the common railway corridor developed for the Hasdeo Arand coal belt. They have already done the pre-feasibility study through RITES and started communication with various proponents in this regard. Their letter to the sister concern M/s Godawari Power & Ispat Limited (previously Ispat Godawari Limited) seeking our participation is submitted and the commitment of MCCPL to be a party to this common railway corridor project is also submitted. As evident from their letter that the corridor will be operational from 2013-14. Since the excepted COD of MCCPL is July, 2011.

Commitment for providing financial support for establishment of ITI : Project proponent has adopted women ITI Korba. A Institute Management Committee has been from and registered by the registrar of societies Bilaspur (Chhattisgarh). Copy of memorandum of association of the Institute Management Committee of women ITI Korba is also submitted.

Justification for not selecting the monitoring station beyond 5 km : The position of all the air sampling stations were kept within the periphery of 6 kms with the farthest at 5 kms southwards from the core zone because the ground level concentrations (GLC) of all the air pollutants were found to be maximum at a distance of 3.3.5km to get the best representation and in consistent with the spread excepted from a 220 meter high chimney. However as required by SEAC Chhattisgarh project proponent has submitted GLC values study for 7 days (from 31/03/09 to 06/04/09) at 6 locations mainly at a distance of 9-10 kms in all directions (along with the map showing the locations of sampling stations). The values of GLC of new stations are lower then the values of initial stations with RPM reducing from 59.0 to 53.83 µg/m3, SPM from 146.5 to 133.0 µg/m3, Sox from 8.48 to 6.55 µg/m3 and Nox from 12.23 to 9.41 µg/m3.

Copy of Coal linkage recommendation letter issued by under secretary, the Govt. of India, Ministry of Power is submitted.

Action plan for utilization of fly ash as per Ministry of Environment & Forest, Government of India, New Delhi Notification : MCCPL has submitted the undertaking that they will use the fly ash generated from combustion of the coal in the plant for brick making, fly ash aggregate making supply to nearby cement industries and coal mine filling if permitted in future. No fly ash will be used for land and road filling.

Authentic information regarding no historical importance monument within 10 km radius : MCCPL has submitted the undertaking that there are no monuments, temples and structures of historical importance within 10 km radius of the proposed site. Toposheet map is also enclosed indicating that Mahadev Temple Pali (ASI monument) is beyond 10 km radius.

The proposed project does not fulfill the criteria as mentioned in general condition of Schedule of EIA Notification, 2006, hence falls under Category ‘B’. Based on the consideration of the documents submitted, the presentation made by the project proponent, discussion held, the Committee recommended for grant of Prior Environmental Clearance for the proposed 270 MW (2x135 MW) Washery Rejects / Coal Based Thermal Power Plant subject to fulfillment of terms and conditions as per Annexure-I.
