Sr. No.
Name and Address Points written and / represented Replies from
Project Proponent
5 Shri Yogesh Pandya, Ta : Khambhat, Dist : Anand.
He began by saying that his questions on the Project had already
been raised in writing and he had also received the replies from
the industry and he was satisfied with the same. He said that since
the project was located in the own field/land of the Project
Proponent, he would naturally take care to protect and preserve the
environment. He also urged the people present to Think Globally and
Act Locally. He also added that the Company should do rain water
harvesting to conserve and replenish the water supply, and also
develop proper Green Belt area, as on date this was unsatisfactory.
He asked the industry to comply the conditions issued in the NOC
and EC Orders.
6 Shri Kanubhai M Shah, Social Worker, Ta : Khambhat, Dist :

He stated that this Company belongs to a group of Companies and
there has never been any problem of pollution from this Company in
Sokhda and the surrounding areas. He also added that this expansion
would create further developmental and employment opportunities in
the area. He further added that since this was a water scarce area,
he hoped that the industry would take due care to completely avoid

sweet drinking water to satisfy all their needs. He also added that
the Company should develop their own water works. Lastly he added
that he welcomed the project.

7. Shri Jayantibhai Jethabhai Patel, President Khambhat

develop the same around 15 years Back. He said that
industrialization would bring development to the area.

Sr. No.
Name and Address Points written and 1 represented Replies from
Project Proponent
He mentioned that it would be unfair to say that only industries
create pollution. He sajd that the pesticides used for development
of crops in the fields are sometimes more polluting than the
chemicals emitted by the industries, since the industries have to
follow the stringent Norms framed for control of pollution and
preservation of environment.
The Public Hearing concluded with a vote of thanks to the
Chair.

Replies to Queries by Shri Farooq Shaikh
Queries Replies 1. As per the public notice on 8-04-2010 in
newspaper, as per the provisions of notification No. S.O. 1533
dated 14/09/2006, M/s. Gujarat Halogen Petrochem Corporation has
applied for its expansion project under category A. These units
discharge their effluent in public and process gas emissions are
released in open. Because of this people residing in nearby
villages are facing health problems and low yield in their crops
production. Hence, such a company should not get a category A
certificate.
The first public notice was issued in newspaper on 13-04-2010
and its amendment on 29-04-2010.
These units after adequate treatment, reuses the treated water
in its industrial activities. Hence, no water discharge takes place
except for the sewage water in the soak pit.
The unit already has multistage scrubbers to scrub the HCl and
Cl2 gas emitted during the process. It also proposes to install new
scrubbers for its expansion activities.
The unit is applying under category A, as it is not located in
GIDC area. As per the EIA notification in September, 2006, the
units not falling under the notified area and applying for
expansion or new projects fall under the category A.

years.
Visit reports attached as Annexure 1.
2. Please give details of MOEF regional office visit report in
last two years if any.
No visits from MOEF in last two years.
3. Whether company had been issued show cause notice / closure

4. Whether unit has submitted Environmental Audit Reports
regularly to GPCB for existing plant? What were suggestions of
Auditors in last two years report ?
The industry does not fall under Environment Audit scheme.
5. Whether permission of Central Ground Water Board has been
obtained for withdrawal of water from bore well for existing plant
and for proposed expansion? If yes, give details of it.
Khambhat falls under semi-critical area. The total water
consumption after proposed plant expansion will be 50.5 KL/day. As
per the Guidelines for evaluation of proposals/requests for ground
water abstraction for drinking and domestic purposes in Notified
areas and Industry/Infrastructure project proposals in Non-notified
areas issued by Central Ground Water Board, Industries requiring
ground water upto 100 m3 /day in semi-critical areas are exempted
from obtaining NOC for ground water abstraction from CGWA. Since
the water requirement for the proposed project is 50.5 m3/day, the
proposed industry falls under the exempted category.
6. Why freshwater from bore well should be used for
scrubbing?
The unit will require total 25 KL/Day of water for scrubbing
activities at its full plant capacity. It will reuse its R.O. water
reject 14 KL/Day for scrubbing activities and the rest 11 KL/Day
will be acquired from borewell.
7. What would happen to scrubbed water with solvent?
Water Scrubbers will be used only for scrubbing HCl. Solvents
will not be scrubbed with water.
8. How many employees are currently working in the factory and
after expansion?
Out of the total workforce of 30 employees, employees from the
village Lunej are maximum (14 no.s), followed by Ambavadi, Cambay
and Bhimtalav. The village wise employment details are as given in
chapter 3, pg. 111 of the draft EIA report. About 5-10 personnel
will get employment for the
-
proposed expansion project. All the personnel will be taken from
nearby villages.
9. Please Justify water to wastewater ratio from 1.2 to 7.7
after expansion.
Water consumption is increasing due to utilization of R. O. use
of water in boiler & cooling tower. Hence increase in water to
wastewater ratio.
10. Which type of biofuels are used in boiler and heater?
In the existing unit, wood / lignite is used in the boiler and
thermic fluid as fuel as per the valid Consolidated Consent &
Authorization from GPCB.
11. Why there is no greenbelt in existing factory premises?
There is a greenbelt in the existing factory premises, which is
22 % and it shall be increased to 3572 sq. mts (33% of the total
plot area) for the proposed expansion project.
12. Please justify 2000 L per day of water for developing
greenbelt in 3572 sq.mt. area.
The plantation activity will be carried out in phases over a
period of 4 years. In the initial phases the water requirement will
be less being the sapling or initial stage of the plants growth. On
attaining the growth, the water requirement by trees reduces.
13. There was no ambient air measurement location beyond radius
of 4 km from factory. It is violation of TOR of MOEF of 10 km
radius air quality measurement.
As per the ISCST3 model run for finalizing the monitoring
station using previous years meteorological data, the GLC drops
drastically after only 1 Km. the same was verified with the
meteorological data for the monitoring season. Moreover in the
downwind direction, the mudflats of Gulf of Khambhat starts at a
distance of about 2 km.
14. Whether TSDF site will be of Nandesari or Surat? Both have
different impacts on environment for receiving solid waste from
factory.
Generally the TSDF site of Nandesari site is utilized. However
Surat TSDF site will be used only in case of emergencies.
15. Please give name of CPCB authorized recycler / trader to
whom discarded drums and other hazardous solid waste is given for
existing unit.
Bhagwati traders, Rajpipla chowkdi, Ankleshwar.

18. There are many similar factories in near by premises. Any
common facility has been sought for pollution reduction?
Yes, the plannings for installation of CETP is in progress as
declared by the authorities.
19. Any carrying capacity study or cumulative pollution load
have been studied for this area?
Cumulative Impact Of All Four Projects on Ambient Air Quality
was studied using ISCST3 modeling. The details of the study is
covered in chapter 4, section 4.2.2.1, pg. 116 of the draft EIA
