It is 1 km away from state highway no 17.

Nearest railway station is Nashik road at 40 km (approx.)

Nearest airport is Nashik at 45 km

Mumbai JNPT port is 200 km away from site

II. Land form, Land use and Land ownership

Land ownership is with the project proponent (Megafine) and is for industrial use.

III. Topography (with Map)

Refer Topomap

IV. Existing land use pattern

The existing use is for industrial purpose.

V. Existing Infrastructure

Site is well developed for industrial use with infrastructure such as road, electricity,

water supply, education and medical facilities.

VI. Soil Classification

The district forms part of Western Ghat and Deccan Plateau. Physiographically Nasik district comprises varied topography. The main system of hills is Sahayadri and its offshoots viz., Satmala, Selbari and Dolbari hill ranges. These hill ranges along with eastern and southern plains and Godavari valley are the distinct physiographic units. The northern part of the district falls under Tapi basin and is drained by easterly flowing Girna River along with its tributaries, whereas the southern part of the district falls under Godavari basin an is drained by Godavari River and its tributaries. Other important rivers in the district are Damanganga, Vaitarna, Darna, Kadva, Aram, Mosam, Panjan and Manegad. The soils of the district are the weathering products of Basalt and have various shades from gray to black, red and pink color. The soils occurring in the district are classified in the four categories namely lateritic black soil (Kali), reddish brown soil (Mal), coarse shallow reddish black soil (Koral), medium light brownish black soil (Barad). In


17

general the soils are very fertile and suitable for growing cereal and pulses. The black soil contains high alumina and carbonates of calcium and magnesium with variable amounts of potash, low nitrogen and phosphorus. The red soil is less common and is suitable for cultivation under a heavy and consistent rainfall.

VII. Climate data from secondary sources

The climate of the district is on the whole is agreeable. The climate of Nashik district is characterized, by general dryness throughout the year except during the south-west monsoon season. The winter season is from December to about the middle of February followed by summer season which last up to May.

June to September is the south-west monsoon season, whereas October and November constitute the post-monsoon season. The maximum temperature in summer is 42.5°C and minimum temperature in winter is less than 5.0°C. Relative humidity ranges from 43% to 62%. The normal annual rainfall in the district varies from about 500 mm to 3400 mm. It is minimum in the north eastern part of the district and increases towards west and reaches a maximum around Igatpuri in the western ghat. The chances of receiving normal rainfall are maximum (50 to 55%) in the north eastern part around Malegaon and Nandgaon and minimum in the central part of the district. The study of negative departures of the annual rainfall over normal reveals that major part of the district (about 75%) falling east of Western Ghats comprising almost entire Sinnar, Niphad, Surgana, Kalvan, Satana, Chandwad, Yeola talukas and parts of Dindori, Peint and Malegaon talukas can be categorized as drought area.

VIII. Available social Infrastructure

Hospitals, educational facilities, primary health center is available within 5 km

distance. Major town near is Dindori which is Taluka place. Nasik (district

headquarter) is at about 30 km away where higher educational & recreational

facilities are available,

Proposed built

area 6,640

Greenbelt Area 5,000

IV. Assessment of Infrastructure demand (physical and social) The proposed infrastructure to manufacture products will be built with standard

engineering design considering all the relevant parameters related to environment, health

and safety. Facilities like road and communication are good. Banks, ATM's and medical

facilities are also adequate.

V. Amenities and Facilities

The site is well connected by road. The state highway is just 1 km away from site.

Hospital, educational facility, primary health centre is available within 5 km distance.

Major town near is Dindori which is Taluka place. Nasik (district headquarter) is at

about 30 km away where higher educational & recreational facilities are available.

6 Proposed Infrastructure

I. Industrial area

Basic infrastructure developed already and the required additional plant and machineries

will be installed after getting statutory clearance.

II. Residential Area No residential area is involved in the proposed project. The employs are accommodated in

nearby Residential areas

III. Green Belt

Sufficient green belt area will be provided and maintained at the project site. It will be

to the tune of 12 % of the open land area within plant site premises.

IV. Social Infrastructure Employment will be provided to locals as per the skills and requirement.

V. Connectivity Mentioned at 4.1 Site analysis

VI. Drinking water Management (source and supply of water) Drinking water requirement shall be met through the supply from Irrigation

department. Estimated quantity of drinking water shall be 30 KL/day.

VII. Sewage System There is existing sewage treatment plant of adequate capacity (48 KL/day). The

details of which is given below.

To treat above Sewage the Sewage Treatment Plant has following components.

Screen Chamber: To remove the coarse particles such as plastic, wood pieces, etc.

in sewage water.

Equalization Tank: To Equalize the incoming sewage water & to ionize the water.

Electro Ionizer: To reduce the smell & to ionize the water molecule & separate

dissolved ions.

Electro Cell: Electrolysis process occurs here, which results in coagulation of

sewage, destabilizing the colloidal & suspended impurities.

Sand Filter: To filter the coagulated water

Activated Carbon Filter: It removes organic constituents & residual disinfectants.

Electrolyser: It produces the chlorine for disinfection purpose. Chlorine

containing water is added in treated water tank.

Softener: To reduce the hardness up to 100 ppm.

The sewage water is treated by electrolytic process post to collection tank which is

chemical free, on biological & environment friendly.

The process is based on Electrolysis. Electro coagulation is technique involving

passage of electricity through the sewage. He electric current destabilizes dissolved

colloidal particles and alters the charge on suspended particles permitting purification

of water.

Initially the sewage is collected in Equalization tank from various locations through

bar screen chamber Tank having baffle wall to improve settling rate. Then this sewage

is pump out 50 % to electro-ionizer & 50 % to Electro-cell. The ionizer reduces the

smell & ionizes the received sewage and again this sewage transfers to equalization

tank. This cycle of ionization is continuously performed by ionizer. Then this ionized

sewage goes to Electro-cell where Electro coagulation process takes place,& the

sludge separated during this process goes to sludge holding tank. The clear water

proceed to filter no. 01 which is sand filter , then to filter no.02 which is a charcoal

filter which functions to remove organic constituents & residual disinfectants. While

electrolytic coagulation in Electro-cell the addition of Sodium Hypochlorite solution is

also continue in sewage from the top of Electro-cell drop wise. The sodium

hypochlorite functions as a disinfectant & to remove smell of sewage. Then the treated

sewage is collected in collection tank, this treated sewage is used for toilet flushing,

gardening purpose.

The sludge collected in sludge holding tank is pumped out to sludge drying beds to dry

the sludge as per requirement, then this dry sludge is collected and dispose to Land

fill.

Everyday backwash is given to sand & charcoal filter & electro-cell electrodes &

ionizer electrodes are cleaned with raw water to remove scaling deposited on

electrodes.

Thus the treated sewage has Total Suspended Solids less than 100 mg/L & BOD 3 days

27O C less than 100 mg/L. Treated sewage water is used for gardening in company

premises.

Process flow diagram is as follows.

7 Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R & R Plan)

The proposed activities are in the existing plot of the company which is located at Plot No. 31 to 35, 48 to 51, 1 to 5, 26 & K (Gat No. 201), Lakhmaur, Tal Dindori Dist Nashik. It does not require acquisition of Land and the Infrastructure so there is no any kind of

activity of Rehabilitation and Resettlement carried out.

8 Project schedule and cost estimates

I. Time schedule of the Project

After obtaining Environmental clearance from MOeFCC and Consent to Establish from

MPCB, the company shall start the proposed construction activity of the project.

The project shall be executed in phased manner in the overall period of 5 years.

II. Estimated project cost (Economic Viability of the Project)

Estimated cost for the proposed expansion shall be 75 Crores (This is for Plant &

Machinery, Pipeline & Fittings, Electrical / Instrumentation Installation, Safety systems,

Environmental protection systems, green belt development etc.. are the major heads

considered in the Capital Cost Projection for the proposed expansion project.)
