CHAPTER-2
EIA/EMP OF Shree Shakambari Ferro Alloys Pvt. Ltd.
Communication facilities such as Telephone, Fax and Internet are available in
the vicinity of the proposed plant site at Nongstoin. No constraints, in this regard
are envisaged. The location map is shown in Exhibit No:2.2
2. 2 Topography and Drainage
The topography in the area proposed for plant site is riverine valley with
undulating terrain, formed naturally at the base of riverine valley. A nominal site
grading and leveling works for the main plant-site area is required. A small
rivulet is meeting with the main river near bridge after passing through the plant
site.
A few courses developing along the undulating profile of the surface have
their flow towards Riwiang river (refer Exhibit No: 2.3.)
2.3 Objectives of the Project
Shri Shakmbari’s upcoming project compromises manufacturing of Ferro
Alloys (Ferro-Silicon), installed capacity of 8940 MTPA, with 10 MW Captive
Power Plant.
2.4 Reasons for Selecting the Proposed Site
The major criteria for locating a Ferro Alloys (Ferro-Silicon) plant are as
follows:
The local river Riwiang being running down the site of the plant, the
project will meet its water requirement from the same.
The coal is locally found in plenty and the coalmines are situated in a short
distance of project site, hence saving in transportation costs.
Other raw material such as quartz is locally available.
