company to provide employment opportunities, CSR activities etc. which have been addressed in thefinal EIA/EMP report.After detailed deliberations, the Committee has recommended the proposal for environmentalclearance subject to stipulation of following specific conditions along with other environmentalconditions:i. Continuous stack monitoring facilities to monitor gaseous emissions from all the stacks shall beprovided. After expansion, limit of SPM shall be controlled within 50 mg/Nm 3 by installingadequate air pollution control system. Electrostatic precipitators to clinker cooler, bag house toraw mill/kiln and bag filters to coal mill and cement mill. Low NO X burners should be provided tocontrol NO X emissions.ii.iii.iv.Possibilities shall be explored for the proper and full utilization of gases generated from the kiln inwaste heat recovery boiler (WHRB) and a feasibility report shall be prepared and submitted tothe Ministry and its Regional Office at Bangalore within 3 months from the date of issue of theletter.The National Ambient Air Quality Standards issued by the Ministry vide G.S.R. No. 826(E) dated16 th November, 2009 shall be followed.Secondary fugitive emissions shall be controlled and shall be within the prescribed limits andregularly monitored. Guidelines / Code of Practice issued by the CPCB in this regard should befollowed.v. Efforts shall be made to reduce impact of the transport of the raw materials and end products onthe surrounding environment including agricultural land. All the raw materials including fly ashshould be transported in the closed containers only and shall not be overloaded. The companyshall have separate truck parking area. Vehicular emissions should be regularly monitored.vi.vii.viii.ix.Total water requirement for proposed expansion shall not exceed 800 m 3 /day. Efforts shall bemade to further reduce water consumption by using air cooled condensers. All the treatedwastewater shall be recycled and reused in the process and/or for dust suppression and greenbelt development and other plant related activities etc. No process wastewater shall bedischarged outside the factory premises and ‘zero’ discharge should be adopted.Efforts shall be made to make use of rain water harvested. If needed, capacity of the reservoirshould be enhanced to meet the maximum water requirement. Only balance water requirementshall be met from other sources.Regular monitoring of influent and effluent surface, sub-surface and ground water should beensured and treated wastewater should meet the norms prescribed by the State Pollution ControlBoard or described under the E(P) Act whichever are more stringent. Leachate study for theeffluent generated and analysis should also be regularly carried out and report submitted to theMinistry’s Regional Office at Bangalore, SPCB and CPCB.All the bag filter dust, raw mill dust, coal dust, clinker dust and cement dust from pollution controldevices should be recycled and reused in the process and used for cement manufacturing. Spentoil and batteries shall be sold to authorized recyclers / reprocessors only.x. All the fly ash shall be utilized as per Fly ash Notification, 1999 subsequently amended in 2003.Efforts should be made to use fly ash maximum in making Pozollona Portland Cement (PPC).xi.xii.Efforts shall be made to use low-grade lime, more fly ash and solid waste in the cementmanufacturing.An effort shall be made to use of high calorific hazardous waste in the cement kiln and necessaryprovision should be made accordingly.49
