(IV) Proposed Terms of Reference for EIA studies

The plant has already obtained EC and is already fully equipped with effective pollution control measure and environmental management action plan. By using mix coal from alternate sources as captive mines, linkage Coal, Coal from open market, E-auction and Imported coal to top up and enhance the fired coal CV to achieve the minimum required fired coal CV suitable to Boiler in case when Indian coal CV comes lower due to bad quality in domestic coal, there will not be significant impact in air quality owing to higher GCV and lesser quantity of coal consumption. Further, the ash generation will be reduced, owing to lesser ash percentage in the proposed coal mix. HIL can achieve this additional production capacity without any negative impact to environmental systems. The proposal for sale of molten metal, baked anode and bath material will not create any additional pollution load. The proposed minor developments in the plant operation shall lead to increase in production based on technical feasibility options evaluated. The incremental pollution levels due to increase in production shall be within the permissible limits.
