environmental protection measures to be undertaken as per Terms of Reference (TORs)awarded during the 18 th Meeting of the Expert Appraisal Committee (Industry-1) heldduring 24.1.2011 – 25.1.2011 for preparation of EIA/EMP. All the Ferro Alloy Plants arelisted at S.No. 3(a) in Primary Metallurgical Industries under category ‘A’ of the Scheduleof EIA Notification, 2006 and appraised by the Expert Appraisal Committee (Industry) ofMoEF. The project doesn’t fall under the critically polluted area of Chandrapur.M/s Maharashtra Elektrosmelt Limited have proposed for expansion of Ferroalloys capacity from 0.1 MTPA to 0.1725 MTPA by installation of 1X45 MVA SubmergedElectric Arc Furnace & 4 MW Furnace Gas based Power Plant at MEL Chandrapur inMaharashtra. Total project area is 212.69 ha and the expansion will be done within theexisting plant area. Total plantation at the premises of MEL is spread over an area of 75ha, which is about 35% of the total area. It is proposed to give 2,000 tree saplings everyyear to nearby villages. Tadoba Tiger Reserve and Tadoba Andhari national Park areadjacent to project site in NE direction. Notified archaeological sites like AchaleshwarTemple, Mahadev Temple, Mahakali Temple are at a distance of 3 km (approx.) from theproject. Some trees shall be planted along road in proposed project area.The totalproject cost is Rs. 221.42 Croresand Rs. 12 Crores is allocated towards the pollutioncontrol measures.It was informed that the existing unit was commissioned in 1977 and did notrequire EC at that time. Compliance to the conditions stipulated in the CTO is submittedand found to be satisfactory. The existing and proposed project configuration is givenbelow:S.NExistin ProposedFacilities/Products.gTotal1 Submerged Arc Furnace (MVA) 2 x 33 1 x 45 1112Furnace Gas based Power 1 x 4.2 1 x 4 8.2Plant (MW)Productiona)Ferro manganese (HCFe-Mn) 59,160 37,500 96,660(TPA)b)Silico manganese (Si-Mn) 45,540 35,000 80,540(TPA)Total (TPA)1,04,70 72,500 1,77,2000There will not be any emissions from the process except PM emissions from thefurnaces. The PM will be effectively collected through Gas Cleaning System.Thefurnace gas cleaning system consists of Wet Scrubber Type GCP and EffluentTreatment Plant. Adequate Stack Height (45 - 55 m from ground level) will be providedfor the furnace & power plant. Dry fog dust suppression system will be provided at alltransfer points of Raw Material charging system for dust suppression. For preventingspreading of emissions during hot metal tapping, high efficiency bag filters will beprovided. Raw material handling section would be provided with dust suppression/dustcollection systems. Covered conveyor belts will be used to prevent fugitive emissions.Online stack monitors shall be provided for Furnace & Power Plant Stacks. Base linedata of ambient air quality monitored at 12 locations indicates that concentrations ofPM 10 , PM 2.5 , SO 2 andNO x are varying from 12.1 µg/m 3 to 51.2 µg/m 3 , 5.1 µg/m 3 to 15.3
