Areas under the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972, notified Eco-Sensitive Area, Critically Polluted Area as identified by CPCB, Inter-State border. No forest land is involved in the acquired site. Topography of the land is more or less flat without many undulations. Nearest habitation is at a distance of about 1.4 Km. from the site. Nearest Surface water body is Chhokhara Nallah & River Kharun flowing at the distance of about 1.25 & 2.2 Km respectively from the site. There are number of industries running in the vicinity; as the unit is running adjacent to the notified industrial area.

The raw materials for proposed rolling mill are Semis i.e. Billets/ Ingots. Yearly requirement of the Billets/ Ingots will be 1,54,417 TPA. The semis will be segregated as per size and quality in the raw material yard and will be fed to the oil fired “pusher type” reheating furnace for heating up to the requisite temperature. The steel is required to be heated uniformly to the re-crystallization temperature for easy rolling. The usual temperature range maintained in the furnace will be about 1150 – 1200ºC depending on the quality of steel and section of semis. The heated ingots/ billets rolled in the mills consisting of rolling strands. The size and configuration of the rolling lines of the mills will be different for rolling of different sizes and shapes.


Total requirement of water for operation of proposed unit will be 118.0 KL/ Day. Project proponent had an agreement of 1000 KL/day of water with Chhattisgarh Ispat Bhumi Limited, having clause of over drawl of 10% excess amount; hence the total drawl amount of water from CG Ispat Bhumi Limited is 1100 KL/day.

(4) Other Issue :-A number of sponge iron plants, power plants, ferro-alloys plant, steel melting

units, rolling mills etc. are being operated in the Urta & Siltara industrial area, Borjhara and near by Raipur area. A number of such industrial plants are also in pipe line under expansion/diversification activities in these areas to which environmental clearances and consents to establish have already been granted. As per the monitoring conducted by Chhattisgarh Environment Conservation Board, Raipur the suspended particulate matter in the ambient air of Urla & Siltara Industrial area and respirable particulate matter in the ambient air of Urla Industrial area have achieved to upper permissible limit as mentioned in National Ambient Air Quality Standard, prescribed keeping in view the level of air quality with an adequate margin of safety, to project the public health, vegetation and property.

In view of the above, to know the contribution of industrial sources on the overall ambient air quality of the region, the Chhattisgarh Environment Conservation Board, Raipur has engaged National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI), Nagpur for conducting study regarding “Assessment of Contribution of Industrial Sources to Ambient Air Quality in Raipur Region” in January 2008. The NEERI has started the study and expected to submit the interim report shortly. The contribution of industrial sources on the overall ambient air quality of the region including Siltara industrial area will be known after receipt of the report form NEERI, Nagpur.

Department of Commerce and Industries, Government of Chhattisgarh has also banned new Sponge Iron and Coal based Thermal Power Plant in Urla, Siltara and Borjhara area of Raipur vide letter dated 16/03/2007. Expansion/diversification activities of existing industrial plants or establishment of new industrial units in Urla, Siltara, Borjhara and near by areas of Raipur (induction furnaces, rolling mills etc.) would further add the dust emission load (Suspended Particulate Matter) in the ambient air quality of Urla, Siltara, Borjhara and near by areas of Raipur and ambient air quality of these areas will likely to be further deteriorated. The committee was concerned about rising level of pollution particularly in and around Raipur. In light of above it was resoled that henceforth, the project proponents in and around Raipur area should be asked to submit the E.I.A. report and should be considered as B1 category, depending on nature of the project, location, site specificity, sensitivity of the site, size of the project, mitigation measures adopted/ proposed etc. This decision will be applicable henceforth to all the projects coming in and around Raipur in future.

Meeting concluded with thanks.
