1 Minutes of the 36th Meeting of the Expert Appraisal Committee ...

Writing, Printing and News Print 140 TPD 60 TPDPaper UnitDuplex Board Unit - 200 TPDCaptive Power Plant 6 MW 8 MWCompliance to the conditions stipulated in the EC dated 26.3.2008 for existing plant is submittedand found to be satisfactory. Coal linkage documents for Indian Coal and MoU for imported coal aresubmitted. The basic raw materials to be used for manufacturing paper are various types of wastepapers viz. newspaper and magazine, sorted books and records, coated book stock (CBS), sorted officepapers (SOP), note books, white cuttings, envelope cuttings, etc. (Total 21,480 TPA). The basic rawmaterials to be used for manufacturing coated duplex board are hardwood pulp, mixed waste, localwhite cuttings, waste craft etc. (Total 81,511 TPA). The power requirement for the proposed project isaround 10 MW, which will be sourced mostly from the proposed 8 MW Captive Co-generation PowerPlant and the balance from West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (WBSEDCL).To control the air pollution, ESP will be provided to FBC boiler of the captive power plant tocontrol gaseous emissions. Dust suppression and dust extraction system like bag filters will be providedin coal handling plant, screen, conveyer, transfer points etc. The water requirement for the proposedproject will be 300 m 3 /hr, which will be sourced from the existing tidal drainage canal, which is connectedto River Hooghly. Demineralization plant will be installed to meet the requirement of boilerwater. Around 230.5 m 3 /hr of effluent will be generated (combining both the existing & the proposedprojects), which shall be properly treated in the existing as well as the proposed Effluent TreatmentPlants. Treated effluent (from the ETPs) meeting relevant effluent discharge standards will be let out intothe River.About 29,792 TPA of fly ash is expected to be generated from the coal-fired boiler. The companyproposes to set up its own manufacturing plant of fly ash bricks and utilize those bricks for its own futureconstruction work like construction of buildings, godowns etc. Fly ash will also be used for plant roadsand its embankments. The company will also try to dispose fly ash through competitive bids to localbrickfields & others.The Committee deliberated upon the issues raised during the Public Hearing /Public Consultationmeeting conducted by the West Bengal Pollution Control Board on 10 th February, 2012 at the projectsite. The main issues raised in the public hearing meeting were developing of local area, provision ofemployment, pollution control etc. which were addressed in the EIA Report.After detailed deliberations, the Committee recommended the project for environmentalclearance subject to the following specific conditions along with other environmental conditions:(i)(ii)(iii)(iv)(v)Compliance to all the specific and general conditions stipulated for the existing plant by theCentral/State Government shall be ensured and regular reports submitted to the Ministry and itsRegional Office at Bhubaneswar.The project authority shall install multi cyclones, wet scrubbers with the boilers to achieve theparticulate emission below 50 mg/Nm 3 . The emissions from chemical recovery section shall becontrolled through primary and secondary ventury scrubbers.Data on ambient air, stack and fugitive emissions shall be regularly submitted online to Ministry’sRegional office at Bhubaneswar, SPCB and CPCB as well as hard copy once in six months anddisplay data on RSPM, SO 2 and NOx outside the premises at the appropriate place for thegeneral public.In case of treatment process disturbances/failure of pollution control equipment adopted by theunit, the respective unit shall be shut down and shall not be restarted until the control measuresare rectified to achieve the desired efficiency.The water requirement shall not exceed 300 m 3 /hr. The industry shall ensure the compliance ofthe standards for discharge of the treated effluent from the unit as stipulated under the EPA rules9
