1. Map showing location of Traffic
study and Sprinkler system
Dust suppression system with water sprinkling produces
very fine mist droplets that float freely in the air and
create fog. Hence, the particular area remains without any
particulate matter, and the solid waste collected on the
floor can be removed by cleaning the area.
All the required air pollution control measures will be
provided.
Electrostatic precipitator and fabric filter will be provided
as Air Pollution Control Mechanism
2. MITIGATION MEASURES FOR COAL
HANDLING
• Coal will be fed directly from truck/wagon to bunker and then it will move
through covered conveyor belts. In storage shed, the vents/exhausts shall
be attached with bag filters. The collected fines will be mixed with fuel and
used as fuel.
• Tall wind breaking walls and/or Jute net will be provided to avoid
dispersion of coal fines in surrounding environment.
• Sprinklers to be provided all along the periphery of open storage area.
• Loading, Unloading and storage
• Installation of Bag Filters with dry fly ash collection and storage in Silos at
loading and unloading points are standard practices at both locations; i.e.
loading at power plant site as well as at the unloading point at user’s site.
• Transportation
• As fly ash is used by different users for different purpose such as cement
manufacturing, brick manufacturing, mine back filling, road construction
and filling of low lying area, the handling and transportation will be
accordingly managed.
3. Impact on water environment
• Currently, project proponent has permissions for consumption of 21900 KL/day water and
discharges 4100 KL/day wastewater through GIDC drain. The requirement of proposed plant would
be accommodated within existing limits only, i.e. there would not be any increase in water demand
and effluent discharge quantity.
• Out of 10000 KL/day water consumption for cooling towers at present, in proposed scenario, 9000
KL would be used for existing cooling towers and 1000 KL for cooling towers of proposed CCPP.
• The make-up water required for Boiler 39 KL/day would be accommodated from current
consumption of 4000 KL/day.
• IMPACT ON GROUNDWATER
• No ground water will be used for construction work as well operational phase
• IMPACT ON NOISE LEVELS AND VIBRATION
• Major sources of noise are operations of utilities and vehicular traffic. The operation of the
equipments will generate noise level ranging between 75 to 90 dB (A). However this noise level will
be near the source only and is not expected to create any noise pollution problem at places away /
outside the plant premises.
• Light during Night: The strong light in the project premises during night may cause some
disturbance to the fauna in the nearby areas.
*It is proposed that all the light posts erected along the boundary wall will face inwards and down
wards
4. ANALYISIS OF ALTERNATIVES
(TECHNOLOGY & SITE)
• ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES (in terms of site)
• Regular availability of fuel.

• generator to meet process steam. Power met from the GETCO/DGVCL.
• Advantages:
• i) Lower capital cost.
• ii) Less complex system.
• Disadvantages:
• i) Energy loss in PRDS without doing any useful work.
• ii) Power generation is not possible
• Option#2: Set-up a coal fired steam generator with extraction cum back pressure turbine to meet
• both power and process steam requirement
• Advantages:
• i) Power generation in the range of 8 to 10 MW.
• ii) Cooling system and associated systems are not required.
• iii) Reduced steam generator capacity in comparison with option #3.
• Disadvantages:
• i) Higher capital cost in comparison with option #1.
• ii) Power generation is not possible, when there is no steam requirement for the process plant.
5. • Option#3 Set-up a coal fired steam generator with extraction cum condensing turbine to meet
• both power and process steam requirements with zero power drawn from the
• GETCO/DGVCL i.e., completely self reliance basis
• Advantages:
• i) Power generation in the range of 15 – 17.5 MW.
• ii) At least able to generate 8 MW power for house load operation, when there is no requirement of
• process steam.
• Disadvantages:
• i) Higher capital cost in comparison with option #1& 2.
• ii) Higher steam generator capacity in order to meet the complete captive power from the proposed
• steam turbine.
• iii) The provision for any future expansion is not possible in the same area.
• Option#4 CFBC boiler with extraction cum condensing turbine to meet both power and process
• steam requirements with zero power drawn from the GETCO/DGVCL with all auxiliaries
• and BOP with a different layout to accommodate future expansion
• Advantages:
• i) Power generation in the range of 8 – 18 MW.
• ii) At least able to generate 8 MW power for house load operation, when there is no requirement of
• process steam.
• iii) The plant layout envisaged for this option would accommodate a steam and power generation
• unit of similar capacity during future expansion.
• iv) Future additional steam requirement of about 18 TPH-20 TPH is also considered for arriving at the
• steam generator capacity.
• Disadvantages:
• i) Higher capital cost in comparison with option #1, 2 & 3.
6. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING
PROGRAMME
• A major part of the sampling and measurement activity shall be
concerned with long term monitoring aimed at providing an early warning
of any undesirable changes or trends in the natural environment that
could be associated with the plant activity. This is essential to determine
whether the changes are in response to a cycle of climatic conditions or
are due to impact of the plant activities.
• The quality of flue gas emitted from Boiler and Diesel Generator will be
tested periodically for checking the concentration of pollutants. The
monitoring frequency would be as per consent given by GPCB. The
parameters to be monitored will be SO2, NOx, and PM.
• Description Nos. of Locations
• Work zone /Noise Cover all shift of operation for all the selected locations.
• Ambient noise shall be monitored at six locations
• The industry will be disposed solid/hazardous wastes as per applicable
• Very large greenbelt exists in the existing premises which will be timely
increased

9. • Environment as defined u/s 2(a) of the environment Protection Act includes water, air and
land and the inter relationship which exists among and between water, air and land and
human beings, other living creatures, plants, micro organism and property.
• Environment pollutant defined by the same Act as any solid, liquid or gaseous substances
present in such concentration as may be tend to injurious to atmosphere.
• Hazardous substance is also defined by the same Act and hazardous process is defined by
sec.2 (b) of the Factories Act. 1948.
• Hazard is a physical situation, which may cause human injury, damage to property or the
environment or any combination of these criteria.
• Chemical Hazard is a hazard due to chemical (including its storage, process, handling etc.)
and it is realized by fire, explosion, toxicity, corrosivity, radiation etc.
• Risk is a likelihood of an undesired event (i.e. accident, injury or death) occurring within
a specified period or under specified circumstances.
• Individual risk is the frequency at which any individual may be expected to sustain a
given level of
• harm from the realization of specific hazards.
• Social risk is a measure of chances of a number of people being affected by a single event
or set of events and is often presented as f/n curves (i.e. frequency v/s number of people
affected)
• The on-site emergency plan will deal with measures to prevent and control emergencies
affecting public and the environment outside the premises. The manufacturer should
provide the necessary information on the nature, extent and likely effects of such
incidents.
• Disaster is a catastrophic situation in which the day-to-day patterns of life are, in many
instances, suddenly disrupted and people are plunged into helplessness and suffering and
as a result need protection, clothing, shelter, medical and social care and other necessities
of life, internal telephones, P.A.System, Mobile telephones, Computer System etc. will be
used for communication. If situation is beyond the control, the external agencies will be
informed accordingly and asked for the help. Direct telephone, cell phone or messengers /
runners may achieve this.
