After deliberations in the matter, the committee noted that the reply submitted by

the project proponent in respect of following points is not in order:

1. In the permission granted by the GMADA vide letter no. 3000 dated 8.7.2010

for providing sewer connection, it has been mentioned that the disposal

system as soon as the sewerage system in the area is made operational,

which is about 10 months old and it does not show the latest position of

providing sewerage system in the area with which the sewer of the

residential colony is to be connected, as such, the said permission cannot be

considered at this stage. Furthermore, the approval granted by the GMADA

does not show as how much quantity of treated wastewater will be allowed

to be discharged into the sewerage system from the residential colony.

2. The promoter has stated in the reply that the permission from CGWA for

abstraction of ground water is not required to be obtained since the site is

located in the safe zone and the quantity of ground water to be abstracted is

less than 1000 KLD. However, the project proponent has not submitted any

documentary evidence in this regard issued by the concerned Competent

Authority.

In the 47th meeting of SEAC, the letter no. 16222 dated 4.5.2011

issued by the Sub Divisional Officer (Building), GMADA, Mohali to the effect that the

site of the project is located in the residential zone as per the Master Plan, was

1. Specific approval granted by the GMADA showing as to how much quantity of treated wastewater of the residential colony will be allowed to be discharged into the sewerage system and the latest position for laying down sewerage system in the area with which the sewer of the residential colony is proposed to be connected.

Application has been submitted to the GMADA, Mohali for obtaining the specific approval, for discharge of treated wastewater into sewer and intimating the latest position for laying down sewerage system in the area with which the sewer of the residential colony is proposed to be connected, but no response has been received from the GMADA so far. The GMADA verbally told that the discharge of sewage into the sewer has been taken into account in case permission has been granted by the GMADA for construction of group housing.

2. Submit, either documentary evidence to the effect that the site of the project is located in the safe zone and the project proponent is not required to obtain permission from CGWA or permission given by the CGWA for abstraction of groundwater.

Submitted an affidavit to the effect that the site of the housing project is located in the safe zone as per guidelines of CGWA.

3. An undertaking to the effect that only run-off from the roof top will be collected and discharged into rain water harvesting system to replenish the groundwater.

Submitted an affidavit to the effect that only run-off collected from roof top will be discharged into rain water harvesting system to replenish the groundwater.

4. An undertaking to the effect that electromagnetic flow meter shall be installed at the source of water supply and appropriate flow measuring device will be installed at the outlet of the sewerage system of the residential colony to have a check on the quantity of ground water to be abstracted and quantity of sewage to be generated from the colony.

Submitted an affidavit to the effect that electromagnetic flow meter will be installed at the source of water supply and outlet of sewerage system of the residential colony.

5. To explain the reasons as to why construction has been started at site without obtaining environment clearance as required under EIA notification dated 14.9.2006 since the photographs submitted by the project proponent show that substantial construction of the residential colony has been done.

The site is located in the approved township/sector of PUDA/GMADA and due to this fact, we were of the opinion that the environmental clearance is not required. However, after confirming from PUDA/GMADA we have applied for the same and till date the constructed built up area is less than 20,000 sq. m.

The project proponent was requested vide letter No. 2756

dated 8.7.2011 by the SEAC to attend its 49th on 18.7.2011 to present the reply of

calculated and taken into account the potential discharge of sewage to be

discharged into sewer from the housing complex of HOUSEFED and no tubewell will

be allowed to be installed to HOUSEFED at its own level as the water is to be

supplied by the GMADA in the housing complex. The Committee noted that nothing

specific has been mentioned about the quantity of water to be supplied by the

GMADA to the housing complex and quantity of sewage to be discharged into sewer

of GMADA. Therefore, the HOUSEFED, Punjab is required to submit specific

approval regarding aforesaid aspects.

The Committee also brought out in the knowledge of project promoter

that a combined meeting of SEIAA and SEAC was held on 1.6.2011, wherein, it was

decided to get specific approval of the Competent Authority for supplying of water,

dated 14.9.2006 since the reasons given by the project proponent vide letter

dated 28.6.2011 are not plausible.

Sh. Sewa Singh, Executive Engineer, HOUSEFED, Punjab informed

that the said documents/data will be submitted within one month. The Committee

agreed to accept the request made by Sh. Sewa Singh, Executive Engineer,

HOUSEFED, Punjab, and decided to defer the case till proper reply of the aforesaid

operating in the vicinity of site at a distance of 236 m which may prove

dangerous to the residents of colony. The project proponent has also

concealed the facts in the map of 500 m area from the periphery of site

submitted by it, which is a vital information for consideration of the case for

environmental clearance.

Thereafter, the project proponent has submitted afresh application for

obtaining environmental clearance required under EIA notification dated

14/9/2006 for establishment of a Residential Group Housing Project namely

“Rosewood Green Housing” in the revenue estate of Vill. Sadhe Majra,
