Water environment: 9 ground water quality monitoring stations as
well as 3 surfacewater quality stations were selected. Highlights
of the results are mentioned below;
pH of the ground water samples ranges from 7.34 to 8.32 and
surface water7.35 to 8.1. Desire limits as per IS 10500 is 6.5 to
8.5 mg/l.
Chloride level in the ground water samples were ranging from 262
mg/l to 286mg/l as compared to permissible limit as per IS 10500,
1000 mg/l.
Hardness is varying from 468 mg/l to 580 mg/l as compared to
desirable 300mg/l.
The ground water analysis results indicate that almost all
parameters are well withinthe prescribe limit of IS: 10500. There
is no trace metal contamination in it. TheSurface water analysis
results indicate that almost all parameters are well within
theprescribed limit of Indian Standards: 2296-1982. However, it is
found that few watersamples shows high TDS and TSS values. It is a
river water sample thus the TDS is likelyto be high.

residential areas i.e. 55to 45 dBA at day and night time
respectively.
Anticipated Environmental Impacts:
The proposed project shall create impacts on the environment in
two distinctphases. First during the construction phase which may
be regarded as temporary orShort term and these includes the
activities related to site clearance, constructionand erection of
main plant structures and equipment. The terrain of proposedproject
site is flat. So land is suitable in all topography and geological
aspects.Hence, there is no requirement of cutting and filling
within the area proposed for thepower plant except leveling. Land
for the proposed project is plain. Only surfacerunoffs are likely
in Monsoon and thus the anticipated impacts are
negligible.Secondly, during the operation stage impacts may be long
term in terms of airenvironment. The REIA study and air dispersion
modeling showed following results.

Executive Summary
Environmental Monitoring and Management Plan:
Well established environmental monitoring plan has been designed
by the EPL forthe mitigation and monitoring of environmental
impacts due to proposed projectactivity. The EMP shall have the
following important components.
Since there is a possibility of fugitive dust from the
construction activity, materialhandling and from the truck movement
in the premises of the proposed plant, theindustry shall undertake
extensive tree plantation program along the boundaries ofthe
proposed plant site. Water will be sprayed on haul roads.The
proposed plant is aimed to have a zero discharged and thus the
generatedwastewater shall be recycled and used for in-house
purposes as mentioned above.For noise impact mitigation provision
for insulating caps and aids at the exit of noisesource on the
machinery; shock absorbing techniques will be adopted to
reduceimpact; ear muffs will be provided to the workers and it will
be enforced to be usedby the workers; and green belt corridor shall
be developed along the periphery ofthe plant.
High efficiency Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP) shall be
installed to control theemission of ash particles.
Low NOx burners which generate NOx below 600 mg/Nm3 will be used
in theBoiler. Limestone will be added to reduce SO2
Adequate green belt shall be provided around the plant area and
along theinternal roads in the plant premises. About 660 acre of
land shall be broughtunder green cover;
All internal roads shall be bituminized/ asphalted to reduce the
fugitive dustdue to vehicular movement; and
Water spraying shall be practiced frequently at all dust
generating areas viz.roads, raw material yard etc
The concentrations of PM, SO2, NOx, O3 and Hg in the ambient air
within plant,outside the project boundaries and in the adjoining
villages shall bemonitored as per the guidelines of PCB and MoEF.
Meteorologicalparameters like dry bulb temperature, wet bulb
temperature, wind speed,wind direction, rainfall and atmospheric
pressure shall be recorded.
The main solid waste from the proposed plant shall be the ash.
Fly ash andbottom ash. Dry utilization of ash is proposed. Ash will
be utilized 100 %; whileduring emergency it will be conditioned and
disposed off safely in ash pond.Fly ash notification 2009 would be
complied. Appropriate handlingarrangement would be envisaged for
disposal of fly ash from silos to nearbyindustries/agencies such as
Jaypee Cement, Jaypee Bela Plant, PrisamCement, Satna Cement,
Maihar Cement etc. by road tankers as well as someof the proposed
cement plant such as Reliance and K. J. S. Cement

Additional Studies:
Based on the TOR prescribed by the Ministry of Environment and
Forest (MoEF)additional studies has been carried out for
Hydrogeology and Source sustainabilityof water. The EPL power plant
site occupies gently sloping area with feebleundulations. Hence, it
does not involve significant cutting and filling of earth
materialto alter the topography significantly. There is no
perennial, surface water stream inclose proximity of the proposed
power plant. Thus the EPL power plant shall notaffect the surface
water regime in this region. The power plant is not going to
extractany groundwater for power generation. Moreover, the
effluents from the powerplant shall be treated and reused within
the plant for activities like dust suppressionand greenbelt
development to comply with the Zero Discharge Norm. Hence, itwill
not affect the groundwater regime either. On the contrary, the
power plantmanagement has planned to implement rainwater harvesting
measures within thepower plant premises. Hence, in general, EPL
power plant will not have adverseimpact on the ground hydrogeology
regime in the study area.
Project Benefits:
The EPL firmly believes that Corporate have a special and
continuing responsibilitytowards the society and they need to
commit themselves in making a positivedifference to the society and
sharing their gains with the stockholders. The CSRStrategy of the
Group came into existence with the objective of fulfilling its long
termvision, social responsibility of the company by supporting,
encouraging andempowering the underprivileged sections of the
society. Suitable budget forundertaking the CSR initiatives shall
be provided by the Group throughout theimplementation of the
project. Addition to this the following benefits are visualizeddue
to proposed project in the vicinity.
Assess and address the basic rights and needs of the community.
Allow all members of community to participate effectively in
decision making
processes. Contribute to a net benefit for social and economic
capacity. Contribute to long-term sustainable development. There is
a very fine line between CSR that creates dependency and CSR
that
develops a community or region in a sustainable way. CSR
programmes that maintain good will for the company and address
the
long-term developmental needs of communities in a sustainable
way, withoutcreating a culture of dependency.
Shared values (business-institution and communities)
