An area 555.63 acres is allotted for the project which was mostly barren (waste) andarea around the project site is very thinly populated also there is no major humansettlement exists in the region.

Effluent treatment plant will be installed for effluent generated during operationalphase and it will be treated by primary, secondary and tertiary process. Entire treatedwill be recycled back in process, dust suppression and for green belt development a “Zero Discharge Concept” is adopted.

(iii) Need of the project

Uttar Pradesh is India’s most populous state with a population of over 186 million.Promoting opportunity is at the center of strategy for development of the state. Powerto all therefore is not only integral but the primary component of the developmentprogram of the state. Uttar Pradesh has been severely constrained in its economicdevelopment and quality of life by the appalling power situation in the State.

Quality power at optimum cost is a catalyst for industrial development of any state. Thestate of Uttar Pradesh has ambitious plans for rapid industrialization. Therefore powergeneration in the state of Uttar Pradesh requires urgent augmentation of generationcapacity.

The present installed capacity in the state of U.P. is insufficient to meet the demand forpower. It is estimated that Peak Power demand in U.P. will rise from current level of10193 MW to 13947 MW by 2011-12. As there is an acute shortage of power in UttarPradesh and this has become the main hindrance in the development of industries andthe State, installation of more thermal power plant on urgent basis in this State becomesimportant.

The project is one of the projects planned to be developed for long term capacityaddition project. The project will help in bridging the gap between supply and demandof power in the State of U.P. and Northern region

(iv) Demand – Supply Gap

The project is one of the projects planned under 10th and 11th plan developed for longterm capacity addition project. The project will help in bridging the gap between supplyand demand of power in the State of U.P. and Northern region.

(v) Export Possibility

There is no possibility of export

(vi) Employment generation

Any production process requires human resources involving both skilled and semi-skilledworkers and thus is same for the Thermal Power Plant. Employment potential createdby this project will be met by takIng the people from the region and thus scope forimproving the socio economic life of the region and contributes to increase in GDP as awhole.

Besides , unskilled workforces mostly from the nearby area are required for cleaning &other day to day jobs will be hired through contractor.

Due to the installation of the project direct or indirect employment generation will bethere. The project is under implementation man power engaged during construction isaround 5000 to 7000 and during operation phase around1000 skilled persons arerequired other than unskilled personnel.

- Main building- Transformer Yard- Switch Yard- Main stack & By pass stack- Control/Electrical building- Cooling towers , CW pump house- Coal Yard- Railway siding- Administration Building- DM Plant Building- Security and time office- First aid & Fire Station- Ash & water pipelines- Green belt area- Ash disposal- Township

Service Buildings

Office building, statutory building such as first aid centre, rest shelter, canteen etc provided.

Roads

The site is adjacent to National highway, well connected to road and railway. No new roador diversion is proposed. Existing road will be adequate for additional load oftransportations and for movement of heavy plant and machinery. Railway siding will beinstalled within plant premises.

5.0 PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE

(I) Industrial area ( processing area)

No any industries are situated with 10 km radius of project site.

For power plant the coal will be used as fuel. For bringing the coal to the through rail, apermanent railway siding is constructed. Coal transportation from coal mines to the powerplant is through Indian Railway System / Road. The rakes shall be unloaded at the wagontippler /track hopper terminal.

Coal Handling Plant (CHP) with dedicated coal unloading terminal will be installed. For coalstorage coal stockyard will have crushed coal storage equivalent to 30 days coalconsumption for 2X660 MW units. Stacker reclaimers installed thus creating a capacity of5,20,000 tons, which will be enough for 30 days. Raw material details are given in table 4 asfollows:

Table: 4

Material Quantity Source Storage Capacity (tonnes)

Coal Indian 16,560 tpd Coal linage with NCL 5,20,000

(II)Residential Area

Full fledged township in 30 hectare of land for employees. Permanent township comprising1000 dwelling units, with all necessary infrastructural facilities, to cater to the requirementof operation & maintenance personnel and other supporting staff of the project.

(iii)Green belt

33% green belt will be developed in the plant area following CPCB/MoEF guidelines, whichwould not only act as lung space in the area but also would improve the aesthetics. Greenbelt will be developed and maintained in all available free space.

Municipal solid waste generated during construction period & during operation period, aswell as from STP will be, will be vermin-composted and used as manure for green beltdevelopment.

(iv) Social Infrastructure

Site facilities for construction such as offices, stores, sheds etc, for SPGCL as well as forcontractor’s use will be provided.

(v) Connectivity

Site is well connected with road and rail network and good infrastructure is available withinareas, which will be adequate for additional load of transportation and for movement ofheavy plant and machinery.

(vi) Drinking Water Management ( Source & Supply of Water)
