While replying to the query as to why the construction was undertaken without prior

Environmental Clearance, the proponent submitted that they were given to understand that the

Environmental Clearance is essential only when the building exceeds 20,000 Sqm Built uparea. Application has been submitted to the Authority when they were advised that environment

clearance is essential for total Built up area and not for individual buildings. Therefore, the

commencement of the work was due to misunderstanding of the provision and not a willfulviolation.

The proponent informed that the project require a total of 225.6 lakh liters water of

which 150 lakh liter is met from BWS&SB and 75.6 lakh liters is from existing 12 bore wells.

The Authority opined that abstraction of ground water should be undertaken only with theCentral Ground Water Authority and after a scientific assessment of judicious abstraction. The

proponent informed that the institute got a study conducted by the Indian Institute of Science for

undertaking scientific rain water harvesting.

The Authority opined that the proponent should increase the percentage of recycle and

reuse of water for non potable purposes. The proponent informed that no treated waste water is

let out from the premises as they have a total area of around 100 Acres with more than 3000

trees in the campus. Therefore, the excess treated water is being used for maintenance ofgreenery. The Authority opined to reuse the treated water as tree growth does not require daily

watering.

The Authority after discussion opined that the reply furnished with regard to reason for

undertaking construction without prior Environmental Clearance is at variance from that whichhas already been submitted.

After discussion, the Authority decided to get the following information for further

consideration:a) Revised reply and written justification/ clarification with regard to the reasons for

undertaking construction without prior Environmental Clearance with copies of

approved plan for all the structures.b) Resolution of the Board of Directors as required under the Official Memorandum

No.J-11013/41/2006-IA.II(I) dated 16th November 2010 issued by Ministry of

Environment and Forests, Government of India.c) Brief note with salient aspects of the study conducted by the IISc for effective rain

water harvesting and improved ground water recharge.

d) Present status of construction with latest photographs of each of the building.

e) Permission for ground water abstraction from Central Ground Water Authority.

areas as per the CRZ Notification but may be allowed in non- CRZ areas provided the mining

lease area is clearly demarcated by one of the identified agency by the Government of India. The

Regional Director (Environment), Udupi, who was invited to attend this meeting to give hisopinion explained the silica sand mining pertaining to ML 2203,2460,2461,2437 and 2485. He

submitted to the Committee that the mining boundaries of the lease area have not been

demarcated on the field; the IBM map prepared and got sanctioned by the Mines and GeologyDepartment during 1990 is inconsistent and has not taken HTL in consideration as per the

approved CZMP map; survey numbers shown in IBM plan and CZMP maps are inconsistent; the

cadastral maps survey numbers do not tally with the IBM survey numbers; unless the boundariesare demarcated in the field, it is difficult to ascertain the exact mining area on the basis of IBM

maps. Further, he informed that there is no silica sand in the mining lease area.

The Committee was surprised to know that there is no silica sand in the mining area leasedout by Department of Mines and Geology. The Committee observed that the ground reality

situation needs to be verified thoroughly and get the mining area jointly inspected by the

officials from Mines & Geology Dept and Regional Director (Environment), Udupi. Dr.

Sriniketan, Member, SEAC, was also requested to accompany the joint inspection team. Thecommittee also felt the need for periodical monitoring of silica sand mining in coastal areas by

the concerned Regional Director (Environment).

After deliberation, the Committee decided to consider these subjects in the SEAC along

with the site inspection report as above and also decided to call the officials from Mines andGeology Department for the SEAC for discussion.

Accordingly the proponent was informed to make arrangements for the field visit of the

subcommittee vide this office letter dated 29.09.2011.

The subject was placed in the 76th SEAC meeting held on 11 th November 2011. The

Chairman, SEAC informed that during the 74th

SEAC meeting while discussing similar cases theCommittee had observed that the ground reality situation of the silica sand mining area needsto be verified thoroughly and get the mining area jointly inspected by the officials from Mines &

Geology Dept, Dr. Sriniketan, Member, SEAC and Regional Director (Environment), Udupi.

After deliberation, the Committee decided to consider the above project also (SEIAA 8

MIN 2011) in the SEAC meeting along with the site inspection report and also to call the

officials from Mines and Geology Department for the SEAC for discussion based on the reportof Regional Director (Env), Udupi dated: 02.11.2011. The Committee also decided to write to all

the concerned project proponents to get their project site boundary demarcated by one of the

authorized agency as per the MoEF, GoI Notification. It was also decided to write to the

Director, Mines & Geology Department to cooperate and send a representative for jointinspection as well as for SEAC for discussion.

Accordingly the proponent was requested to get the project site boundary demarcated byone of the authorized agency identified by the MoEF, GoI Notification. The proponent was also

requested to get the project jointly inspected by the subcommittee vide this office letter dated 24.

The Committee after deliberation decided to recommend the above listed files for SEIAAfor environmental clearance with the condition that the project proponents have to confine their

mining activities only in the non-CRZ area."

The Authority perused the proposals and took note of the recommendation of the SEAC

during the meeting held on 01.06.2012.

The Authority opined that in view of the fact that some of the area falling in CRZ havebeen suggested to be deleted from the mining plan. It is therefore necessary to have a revised

mining plan with estimate of reserve in the non CRZ area available for mining without affecting

the local environment. The Authority therefore decided to get the following information for

further consideration of the proposals:

(a) Leasewise map / mining sketch of the non CRZ area available for mining duly marking it

on the local level CRZ map.(b) Revised estimate carried out by a technical person in accordance with the law of mineral

deposit in the non CRZ area.(c) Revised mining plan for the non CRZ area available for mining.

The Authority also decided to invite the proponents.
