It was further noted that the information sought vide letter dated 05.09.2011 was submitted vide letter dated 26th June 2012 after a lapse of almost 10 months. Subsequently, the proponent has failed to attend the Authority meeting held on 6th August 2012 also.

The Authority after discussion decided to provide a last opportunity and invite him for the next meeting of the Authority. The Authority also decided to get a report from the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board with regard to whether the activity has been undertaken without the required Environmental Clearance or otherwise.

The proponent was invited to the Authority meeting.

The Authority perused the information furnished by the proponent. The proponent appeared before the Authority and briefly explained about the proposed project.

The Authority observed that the proponent has not shown interest both in submitting the information sought and in attending the meeting for furnishing the additional information. The Authority further noted that the proponent have taken 10 months time for submitting the information sought and did not attend the last two meetings inspite of intimation. The Authority sought to know whether the proponent is keen at taking the project.

The proponent admitted that there has been delay from their side. The proponent further added that due to non-availability of ore only one of the three existing gas blast furnaces is


12

working. Therefore the company is going slow on the expansion issue. Now that the mining activity is getting resumed in the district of Bellary, Chitradurga and Tumkur in lieu of the recent Supreme Court order, the situation of supply of ore will be improved. With this background now the company is keen to undertake the proposed activity.

While responding to compliance on the latest CFO issued by the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board, the proponent submitted that the CFO has been issued in month of July 2012 for the existing unit and the compliance on the same will be submitted soon.

While going through the details of development of greenbelt the Authority opined that the pictures shown depicts very poor tree growth. A minimum of 1/3rd of the area has to be developed as greenbelt with thick foliage, indigenous and tall tree species.

While explaining the proposed activity, the proponent submitted that it is proposed to establish a coke oven plant of 2 X 1,20,000 TPA and coke oven off gas based captive power plant of 2 X 9 MW. The proponent further submitted that 1.35 Tons of coal will yield one ton of coke. Therefore a total quantity of about 3,24,000 Tons of coal will be handled every year.

While responding on the source of coal, the proponent informed that the coal will be imported from Australia. The Authority sought to know chemical composition of the raw material, chemical composition of the final product (coke), chemical composition of volatile organic matter expected to generate during charging of coal.

The proponent while explaining the process informed that the combustion takes place in the presence of air. The Authority observed that the documents reveal that it is through Pyrolysis. The proponent clarified that they have employed non-recovery type of coke oven plant wherein the volatile gases that are generated get burnt at high temperature with sufficient excess air. The Authority sought to know the composition of volatile gases that get generated while charging the coal. The Authority apprehended that the volatile gases include Benzene, Toluene, Phenols, Ammonia, etc. Therefore details of flue gas having NOx, SOx, NH3, VOC, particulate matter, etc. are required to assess the impact on the environment.

The Authority also apprehended that the solid waste will include the hazardous waste also, therefore requires plan for safe disposal.

The proponent informed that the technical details will be submitted as they do not have on hand.

The Authority after discussion decided to get the following information to be submitted within 30 days for further consideration:

(a) Process flow chart for coke making. (b) Technical options of process change for the reduction of pollutants. (c) Mitigation plan for each parameter in the form of matrices. (d) Chemical composition of the raw material (coal), chemical composition of the final

The proponent submitted the approved quarrying plan dated 07.07.2012 from DMG.

The proponent requested for B2 category for the following justification:


14

1. The proposed quarrying is a small scale open cast quarrying without deep hole drilling and blasting with very less over burden. The granite production is only 2000 cum/year.

2. Mitigation measures such as dust proof drilling units and wire saw cutting to avoid blasting are proposed.

3. There is no crushing or screening and total handling of granite block and waste/defective blocks is very minimal.

The Committee discussed the above points in detail and decided to categorize the project under B2 category in view of the minimal environmental impact. After deliberation, the Committee decided to recommend the proposal to SEIAA for issue of environmental clearance.

The Authority perused the proposal and took note of the recommendation of the SEAC during the meeting held on 6th August 2012.

The Authority after discussion, decided to get the following information for further consideration.

The Authority observed that it is a commercial development in the heart of the city and amidst a busy area. Provision has been made for 5 basements while revising the proposal. The Authority observed that it is an unusual proposition to increase the basements from 3 to 5 for increasing the green belt as recorded in the minutes of SEAC. The Authority further apprehended that excavating for five basements will pose several problems such as safety of adjacent structures, seepage during construction/operation, ensuring proper ventilation in the basements, safety of men and material during emergency, disposal of excess excavated earth, etc.

The Authority further observed that the proposed site has a level difference of 4 meters and

therefore calls for a well planned storm water management plan. It is noted that the traffic study on the St. Mak’s road shows D-F->F which need due attention for the environmental consideration.

The Authority therefore decided to get the following information for further consideration of

the proposal:

a) Justification for 5 Basements with safety measures as per NBC. b) Ground water table in the project site, possibility of seepage and management strategy

during construction and operation. c) Engineering and chemical characteristics of soil. d) NOC from BWSSB for supply of water. e) STP and Solid Waste Management Facility duly marking on layout plan. f) Proper storm water management plan taking the contour and level difference of the project

site in to consideration. g) Energy foot print. h) Traffic study near the project site.

There is no proper Energy Audits, checks and balances to treat effluents by these units. According to the State of Environment Report water sources have been polluted. Traces of these industrial effluents are observed both in the surface water and ground water samples. Therefore serious thinking is necessary as to ensure complete treatment of trade effluents. The Authority also sought to know whether the proposed site attracts the T.G.Halli notification. The Authority felt that in situ treatment of trade effluent is required to be attended.

The Authority therefore decided to get the following information for further consideration

of the proposal: a) Authentic document to establish that the proposed site does not fall within the

restricted area of T.G.Halli Notification. b) Plan for in situ treatment and disposal of trade effluents. c) Commitment to adopt suggestion made by SEAC with regard to avoid use of

4-chloro benzyl cyanide for synthesis of Pyrimethamine and its alternative.

The Authority also decided to invite the proponent to the meeting after submission of the above information.
