Raw Mill & Kiln, Clinker Cooler, Coal Mill, Cement Mill & Boiler were provided with bag house,bag filters & ESP to maintain stack emissions below 50 mg/Nm 3 . Bag filters were provided at all loading/unloading & transfer points. All the material conveyor belts were covered. Clinker is stored in closedclinker silo and gypsum is stored in covered shed. Fly ash is stored in silos. The existing waterrequirement is 1,260 m 3 /day, which is sourced from mine pit and ground water and no additional water isrequired. The permission for drawl of 1,500 m 3 /day water was obtained. Sewage treatment was providedfor the treatment of domestic effluent and treated wastewater will be used for horticulture purpose. Rainwater harvesting is practiced at plant and colony area. No solid waste is generated from the cementmanufacturing process. Dust collected from air pollution control equipment is totally recycled in process.Sludge from STP is being used as manure for green belt development. Personal Protective Equipmentslike earplugs and earmuffs are being provided to the workers exposed to high noise level.After detailed deliberations, the Committee prescribed following TORs for undertaking detailedEIA/EMP study:1. Executive summary of the project2. Photographs of the existing and proposed plant area.3. Compliance to the conditions stipulated for existing capacity in the environmental clearanceor NOC obtained from the SPCB.4. Recent monitoring report from SPCB, which shall include data on AAQ, water quality, solidwaste etc. shall be submitted.5. Has the unit received any notice under the Section 5 of Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 orrelevant Sections of Air and Water Acts? If so, compliance to the notice(s)6. A line diagram/flow sheet for the process and EMP7. Coal linkage documents8. The earlier questionnaire for industry sector should be submitted while submitting EIA/EMP.9. A site location map on Indian map of 1:10, 00,000 scale followed by 1:50,000/1:25,000 scaleon an A3/A2 sheet with at least next 10 Kms of terrains i.e. circle of 10 kms and further 10kms on A3/A2 sheets with proper longitude/latitude/heights with min. 100/200 m. contoursshould be included. 3-D view i.e. DEM (Digital Elevation Model) for the area in 10 km radiusfrom the proposal site.10. Present land use should be prepared based on satellite imagery. High-resolution satelliteimage data having 1m-5m spatial resolution like quickbird, Ikonos, IRS P-6 pan sharpenedetc. for the 10Km radius area from proposed site. The same should be used for landused/land-cover mapping of the area.11. Location of national parks / wildlife sanctuary / reserve forests within 10 km. radius shouldspecifically be mentioned. A map showing land use / land cover, reserved forests, wildlifesanctuaries, national parks, tiger reserve etc. in 10 km of the project site.12.

Details and classification of total land (identified and acquired) should be included.14. Proposal should be submitted to the Ministry for environment clearance only after acquiringtotal land. Necessary documents indicating acquisition of land should be included.15. Rehabilitation & Resettlement (R & R) should be as per policy of the State Govt. and adetailed action plan should be included.16. Permission and approval for the use of forest land and recommendations of the State ForestDepartment regarding impact of proposed expansion on the surrounding reserve forests, ifapplicable, should be included.17. A list of industries containing name and type in 10 km radius shall be incorporated.18. Residential colony should be located in upwind direction.19. List of raw material required and source along with mode of transportation should beincluded. All the trucks for raw material and finished product transportation must be“Environmentally Compliant”.20. Petrological and Chemical analysis and other chemical properties of raw materials used (withGPS location of source of raw material) i.e. ores, minerals, rock, soil, coal, iron, dolomitequartz etc. using high definition and precision instruments mentioning their detection rangeand methodology such Digital Analyzers, AAS with Graphite furnace, ICPMS, MICRO-WDXRF, EPMA, XRD, Nano studies or at least as per I30-10500 and WHO norms.
