1 Record of discussion held on 9th January, 2020 to discuss the proposal submitted by M/s Numaligarh Refinery Limited seeking permission for carrying out developmental activities in ‘No Development Zone’ of Numaligarh. A meeting was held in the Ministry on 9th January, 2020 under the Chairmanship of AD(RBL)/MS (Ind-2) to discuss the proposal submitted by M/s Numaligarh Refinery Limited seeking permission for carrying out developmental activities in ‘No Development Zone’ of Numaligarh. 2. The meeting was attended by representatives of M/s Numaligarh Refinery Limited and Officers of the Ministry. During the presentation M/s Numaligarh Refinery Limited has informed the following: (i) As per the Ministry’s Notification S.O. 481 (E) dated 5th July, 1996 “the expansion of industrial area, township, infra-structure facilities and such other activities which could lead to pollution and congestion, are not allowed in ‘No Development Zone’ specified in the Appendix to the notification, except with the prior approval of the Central Government”. The No Development Zone is 15 km radius around the Numaligarh Refinery except towards North West where it extends right upto the eastern boundary of the National Park. (ii) As per the Hydrocarbon Vision 2030 of Government of India, the Numaligarh Refinery intends to expand the Refinery from present 3 MMTPA to 9 MMTPA at an estimated cost of Rs. 22594 crores. The existing unit is in operation with environmental approval from the Ministry vide OM dated 31st May, 1991, prior to the EIA Notification, 1994. (iii) Standard terms of reference (ToR) for the proposed project was granted by the Ministry on 21st June, 2018. The EIA/EMP report for the proposed expansion project is underway. It was envisaged that most of the process units will be accommodated within the existing premises but for other enabling and associated project activities are falling short of land. Accordingly, various options have been explored for acquiring additional land, and a meeting has been conducted with various stake holders, including forest/wildlife officials. Based on the meeting 9 sites were recommended for associated project activities like construction sheds, workers camp, warehouse, storage yard etc. It was requested to consider permission for carrying out the said activities in the proposed nine locations within the jurisdiction of ‘Numaligarh No Development’. 3. During the deliberations, it was noted that the proposed activities are part of the expansion project for which ToR has been granted by the Ministry and EIA/EMP report is under preparation. The EIA/EMP report shall be appraised by the EAC for grant of EC to the project, and as such separate permission separately for the activities may not be required. The project proponent shall finalize the plots with details of project activities before submission of the report, which preferably shall be adjacent to the unit/existing facilities. 4. After detailed deliberations, it was desired that the project proponent shall include the details of activities in the NDZ area and its environmental impacts as a separate chapter in the EIA report. The Ministry would consider the proposal, after the recommendations of the EAC as per the EIA Notification, 2006, and the Committee can also consider the project in accordance with the Ministry’s Notification S.O. 481 (E) dated 5th July, 1996 regarding Numaligarh No Development Zone. 5. The meeting ended with vote of thanks to the Chair.

ANNEXURE-VII
Proposed developmental activities/ancillary facilities for Numaligarh Refinery Expansion Project (NREP) in No Development Zone (NDZ)
Proposed developmental activities / ancillary facilities in NDZ:
Cabinet Committee of Economic Affairs approved Numaligarh Refinery Expansion Project (NREP) on 16.01.2019 at an estimated cost of Rs.22,594 Cr. for:
∑ Refinery expansion from 3MMTPA to 9MMTPA ∑ Crude pipeline from Paradip to Numaligarh (1400KM approx.) ∑ Product Pipeline from Numaligarh to Siliguri (650KM approx.)
Project Completion Period is 48 months from statutory approval. The Refinery Expansion project includes the following process units as shown below in Table-1:
Table-1
The main process units, utilities & off sites, tank farms etc. under the proposed NREP will be accommodated inside the existing refinery premises. However, for some developmental activities / ancillary facilities related to NREP, it is envisaged that some additional land areas are required during project execution which includes:
∑ Storage Yard / Warehouse ∑ Fabrication Yard ∑ RMC Batching Plant ∑ Labour Camps ∑ Bank, Post Office (after relocating from existing refinery premises)
1
Details of proposed land plots :
For the above purposes, land parcel of different sizes in the nearby areas were identified in 11 locations all around the existing refinery premises (location map given below as Figure-1) from interested parties. Forest Department, Govt. of Assam was approached for their clearance for these plots.
Forest Department, Govt. of Assam, after due deliberations and discussions held with representatives of NGOs, WWF, Wildlife Warden and local press dated 03.06.2019 have cleared 9 out of 11 plots suitable for the intended purposes. Some of them are suitable for any project activities and a few are suitable with certain conditions (Minute of Meeting of Forest Department, Govt. of Assam dated 03.06.2019 on the clearance/ recommendations of the plots is attached as Annexure-VII). Plot Nos. 2 and 5 was rejected by Forest Department, Govt. of Assam due to elephant movements in these areas.
Figure-1: Location map of 11 plots around NRL Refinery
As these plots of lands are falling in the No Development Zone (NDZ) notified by MoEF dated 05.07.1996, Forest Department, Govt. of Assam advised NRL for obtaining prior permission from MoEF to carry out any activities as per the condition laid down for the said NDZ notification. Finally, out of the 9 plots cleared by Forest Department, Govt. of Assam, 8 plots of land were shortlisted by NRL. Proposed Land Details of these 8 plots are shown below in Table-2: Table-2

Figure-2: location map of 11 plots superimposed in NDZ map
Details of proposed utility/resource requirement for Additional land acquired in NDZ area for post NREP: a. Water requirement and source:
The activities planned on the plots do require some water primarily for human consumption, like day to day drinking, bathing, sanitary purposes in workers’ colony/camps and very small amount of water is required for hydro testing of pipes in fabrication sheds. This water will be supplied from existing refinery water sources through underground pipelines in the contiguous plots. Other plots which are at a distance from refinery, water will be supplied through mobile water tankers transported from existing water treatment plants located inside refinery premises. b. Power requirement and source:
Bulk power requirements will be primarily in fabrication sheds and RMC Batching Plants,which is estimated to be around max. 5MW peak load. In other purposes requirement of power will be very minimal to the tune of max. 2-3MW. Power to the contiguous plots shall be arranged from existing captive power sources i.e. Gas Turbines and Steam Turbines through underground cables. There is a plan to hook up captive power system with grid system of AEGCL (Assam Electricity Grid Corporation Ltd.) in near future. Power requirement for other plots will be managed through power purchase from APDCL (Assam Power Distribution Corporation Ltd.). Silent DG sets shall be provided as back up to meet the power requirement during load shedding. c. Waste water generation and its management for labourers:
It is planned to set up max. 4 nos. workers camps with about 500 workers accommodation in each camp. Each camp will generate about 20 KL of sanitary waste water per day which will be collected in a centralised tank and shall be transferred to STP located inside its nearby township by mobile vacuum trucks for treatment.
4 d. Present land use for the proposed land parcels:
All the plots of land under consideration are mostly being used for tea cultivation, while lesser portion of lands are barren. There will be no replacement and rehabilitation of families from any of these plots except in the plot near Raw Water Intake. In that plot there will be displacement of two families with homestead land and they will be allotted one plot of land each for construction of their dwelling houses in a nearby village. e. Movement of ODC trucks to the fabrication site and road conditions:
There is no plan for movement of any ODC trucks to these plots of land except for only normal trucks, tankers and trailers. For this purpose suitable motorable approach roads shall be constructed with pitched driveway from existing state/national highways. In case requirement arises in future for ODC fabrication near project site, suitable plot shall be selected near the highways so that ODC movement is smooth & convenient from such site to the project site.
Mitigation measures for activities to be carried out in proposed plots :
There will be no major impact on air, water and land environment while carrying out the above non process activities in the proposed locations in NDZ. However, to contain even the minimal impact like generation of dusts, noise etc. envisaged due to above activities, following mitigation measures is proposed:
1. Barricading up to suitable height and material shall be done to contain noise, suppression of dust/suspended particles in RMC batching plant, fabrication yard, etc. 2. Pitching/concreting of roads for suppression of dusts etc. due to heavy vehicular movement. 3. Proper drinking water, sanitation and sewage management shall be considered for labour camps or locations where deployment of workers is large. 4. NRL’s HSE Policy shall be strictly adhered to regarding operation of batching plant and fabrication yards. 5. All statutory guidelines will be followed for fabrication/ construction/ storage activities.

ANNEXURE-IX
NDZ related court cases :
No Court Cases pending against the project and/or land in which the expansion project is proposed to be set up. However, the following cases in connection to NDZ outside the boundary wall of Expansion project may be referred to for information:
A. Cases related to Township Expansion:
(a) NRL started township extension project at a location of about 4KM aerial distance from Refinery boundary after obtaining EC from SEIAA, Assam (Being Category-B project) and CTE from PCBA in 2013. One activist filed MA-787/2015 in NGT alleging some violations. NGT passed its order on 24.08.2016 .
(b) Aggrieved with not giving proper heed to the factual merits, NRL applied in NGT for review of its order dated 24.08.2016 through RA-29/2016. NGT disposed of the RA-29/2016 without any direction on 03.08.2018.
(c) NRL appealed in Supreme Court against the NGT Order dated 24.08.2016. But Supreme Court did not find merit in the appeal and did not admit the case.
(d) Deputy Commissioner, Golaghat took action to demolish remaining portion of boundary wall of the township extension as NGT directive after disposed of NRL’s Review Application against which NRL approached Guwahati High Court vide WP 5895 of 2018 . Guwahati High Court has asked to maintain status quo and the case is pending.
(e) NRL appealed Guwahati High Court vide WP 6093 of 2019 to bring clarity on the township extension about elephant corridor, prior permission in NDZ, Deopahar PRF, etc. and praying to allow to start construction of the quarters in the township extension in the remaining 8 ha area out of 9 ha area acquired originally. The case is pending in Guwahati High Court.
B. Case related to Bio-Refinery:
The EC for this project was issued by MoEF&CC in Nov, 2017. One activist filed 11 of 20198 NGT alleging some violations/allegations. Case is pending in NGT for hearing.
Note: Details of both the above two court cases were attached as annexure XVII in EIA/EMP Annexure file (page 617 of 649) submitted with Form-2.

Reserved on: 16 th December 2015 Pronounced on: 24 th August 2016
1. Whether the judgment is allowed to be published on the net? 2. Whether the judgment is allowed to be published in the NGT Reporter?
Mr. Ranjan Chatterjee, (Expert Member)
1. The applicant has filed the present application against non- compliance of the judgment of the Tribunal dated 7 th September
2012 in the case of Rohit Chaudhary Vs. UOI (O.A. No.
2
38/2011). The application was filed against the alleged illegal activities including operation of stone crushers, brick kilns, tea factories and other polluting activities in the No Development
Zone (in short ‘NDZ’) that was demarcated by the Ministry of
Environment, Forest and Climate Change (in short ‘MoEF’ ) vide
Notification dated 5 th July, 1996 around the Numaligarh refinery in Assam.
2. ‘MoEF ’ issued the Environmental C learance (in short ‘EC’) for the refinery on 31 st May 1991. The ‘MoEF’ , while issuing the
‘EC ’ in the office memorandum, specifically directed that:
(a) The refinery should be situated as far to the eastern side
of the site as possible, to ensure that there is maximum
possible distance from the eastern boundary of the Kaziranga
National Park.
(b) The residential site should not be to the west of the
refinery as it is only 19.5 kms from the boundary of the
Kaziranga National Park.
(c ) A ‘NDZ’ must be notified before the project construction
starts within a radius of 15 kms, all round the refinery site,
except towards the North West, where the ‘NDZ’ would extend
into the eastern boundary of the Kaziranga National park.
3. The Applicant in the M. A. No. 787/2015, has prayed that the directions in judgment of the Tribunal in the case of Rohit
Chaudhary Vs. Union of India and Ors. (O.A. No. 38/2011) be strictly implemented and that the comprehensive Action Plan
3
and Monitoring Mechanism framed by the ‘MoEF ’ and State
Government be reviewed to include a more effective monitoring mechanism, to make sure that there is no illegal encroachment in the ‘NDZ ’; and ensure implementation of the judgment passed by this Tribunal and Notification of 1996.
4. The applicant has also prayed that (i) all the work including excavation and felling of trees for the Golf Course, in the area in question should be stopped immediately, so as to prevent further degradation of the environment (ii) the refinery to pay compensation for destruction of prime forest land in the No-
Development Zone. (iii) The refinery to restore the forest land, including the excavated area and the area where the wall has been built illegally. (iv) The excavated land to be restored, and there has to be plantation of suitable plant varieties in the area after consultation with biologists, and maintain them.
5. It is the contention of the Applicant in the M.A. that the boundary wall to the extended residential colony has been constructed without prior ‘EC’ or any permission of the Central
Government. This wall has come in the way of the elephant corridor, leading to death of an elephant as shown in a video clipping submitted by the Applicant.
6. The Applicant also contended that ‘EC ’ does not mention construction of any wall. The residential colony which is being built within this boundary wall; forms a part of the elephant corridor.
4
7. It has been further brought out by the applicant that as per the report of Assam Forest Department, over a period of time 12 elephants have died as a result of construction of the said wall.
8. The applicant further contends that the Township extension area lies within the Deopahar Proposed Reserve Forest area (in short ‘PRF’) notified by the government of Assam, vide
Notification dated 18 th August, 1999. As per the letter of the
Divisional Forest Officer (in short ‘DFO’) to the Deputy Manager of Numaligarh Refinery Limited (in short ‘NRL’) dated 21 st
February 2011 and the above notification:
“The western boundary of the ‘PRF’ goes along the NH - 39 and from that point the southern boundary runs along NH 39 upto the crossing point at Rajgarh and then along the Rajgarh, the eastern boundary of the ‘PRF’ goes and meets at the northern point of the same”.
9. According to ‘NRL ’, the boundary wall to protect the property, surrounding the land acquired (total area about 67 bighas) in
2004 to 2006 for extension of existing township was constructed in the year 2011. ‘NRL’ has stated that the wall is essential for the safety of their residents.
10. µNRL ’ further contended that the township extension land in issue is tea garden land and there are tea bushes and 201 shade trees for which permission was sought from DFO and only 149 trees have been cut. On 11 th April 2012, ‘NRL ’ wrote to ‘DFO ’ intimating about construction of residential accommodation with application to cut the tea plantation and uprooting shade trees.
The ‘DFO ’ granted the permission, subject to two conditions:
5
1. Active participation by the ‘NRL ’ management in
addressing man animal conflict in the area around ‘NRL ’
by providing resource and logistic support annually.
2. The field logistic requested during the year 2013-14 to be
provided.
11. By a letter dated 10 th October 2015, the SEIAA Assam informed the Chairperson of the Tribunal that the DFO had urged for cancellation/suspension of the ‘EC’ on the grounds that the boundary wall and golf course were not included in the proposal submitted by ‘NRL’ for the extension of their township
(Phase-III).
12. The SDO Bokakhat in his letter No. BRQ3/2003/406 dated
4th August 2015 addressed to D.C. Golaghat, stated that some portion of the land already included in the draft notification dated 18 th August 1999, for proposed Deopahar Reserve Forest, was also acquired for extension of ‘NRL’ Township, to which forest department had not objected earlier before the said
Collector. Only after construction of the boundary wall by ‘NRL’ for their proposed township, the DFO Golaghat raised objection that the wall is causing disturbance in free movement of elephants and further that it was constructed on the land notified for proposed Deopahar RF. Respondent No. 4 has further added that though forest department had raised objections after the said land was acquired and handed over to
‘NRL ’, however, after a joint survey of revenue and forest departments, the same was resolved. In the joint survey as per
6
the Respondent no. 4, the DFO had agreed in favour of re- alignment and exchange of land, in lieu of the land where ‘NRL ’ authority had constructed the wall.
13. The importance of animal corridors, in the protection of rare and endangered animals as listed under the schedule 1 of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972, laying stress on the protection of their environment, in the light of EP Act 1986, hardly needs emphasis. It is contended by the Respondent No. 4, that the elephant corridors do not have any legal sanction under the
Wildlife (Protection) Act. Yet the Applicants vehemently argued that the elephant corridors are of paramount importance for the migration of elephants between their habitats and the preservation of their gene pool.
14.The Elephant Task Force (also known as the Gajah report on securing the future of elephants in India) dated 31 st August 2010 of the ‘ MoEF ’, states that:
“E lephants cannot survive simply through strict protection of a few parks and sanctuaries. A sole focus exclusively on Protected Areas, vital as they are, is inadequate for the long term conservation of this keystone species. On account of the habitat loss, shrinkage and degradation of its distribution range, the future of Asian elephants is a challenge. Fragmentation of the available habitats has further confined most of the populations to smaller habitation islands. It further added that maintaining the integrity of these corridors is important for the long term survival of their habitats ”.
15. Coming to the Golf Course, it is the A pplicant’s contention that ‘NRL’ has felled a large number of trees, flattened some
7
undulating landscape with heavy machines and denuded the land of its forest cover. The mining and excavation of the site has been inspected by the forest department and their officers reportedly seized volumes of sand, stone etc. Some M/s Jai
Shree Krishna Contractors were engaged for construction and maintenance of 9 hole Golf Course for a period of eighteen months commencing from 1 st December 2014. As a result the fertile top soil was removed, leaving the land unproductive.
16. As indicated in the report of the Assistant Conservator of
Forests, Assam dated 27 th July 2015, ‘NRL’ has cleared dense forest vegetation on the North-Eastern portion of the land to build a golf course in violation of condition No. 4 of the ‘MoEF ’ letter dated 18 th August 1994. As per the condition No. 4 of the letter , “Township site should not involve any forest area”. The site inspection pictures (taken on 11 th July 2015) clearly show the sharp contrast between the neighbouring forest area of high canopy density and the area of golf course with no trees at all.
The surrounding areas have forest cover with canopy density of around 70-80 per cent.
It is significant to notice here that the applicant has placed on record Google images of the Golf course and the area surrounding it over a 5 year period. The images relate to the years 2010, 2011, 2014 and 2015. Comparative examination of these Google images show that at one time considerable portions of the area covered under the Golf course had dense forest. The trees have been removed/felled and the hill converted into a flat
8
plane with heavy machinery for the purpose of constructing the
Golf Course. It is further on record that all this was done by
‘NRL ’ without permission of Competent Authority. Examined from that point of view, it is evident that there has been unauthorised and illegal felling of trees and the hillock has been converted into a flat Golf Course. This has its own environmental and ecological impacts.
17. One of the questions before us is whether the land where the wall has come up, is a part of the elephant corridor? To this end, we find from the letter of DFO Golaghat to Deputy General
Manager, ‘NRL’ dated 21 st February 2011 that:
“Deopahar is regarded as a rich bio -diversity spot with full of wild flora and fauna and it is also a major corridor for the wild animals, particularly for the elephants. The elephants use this corridor to move from the Karbi Hills to Dhansiri river for their water requirement through this Deopahar forest only. Unfortunately, this corridor has been breached at many points by various construction and major part by the construction of ‘NRL’ Township between Deopahar and Dhansiri river. Due to loss of this corridor, the herd of elephants has to stray in human habitation resulting in huge loss of life and property”.
Further the letter dated 27 th May 2015 by DFO Golaghat to
Member Secretary, SEIAA, Assam, Guwahati, states that:
“The proposed project site which has been duly acquired by ‘NRL’ is situated very close to Deopahar ‘PRF’ and also serving as an important elephant corridor and breeding habitat that links to Kaziranga- Karbi Anglong lan dscape”.
9
In the final report submitted to Asian Elephant
Conservation Fund of USFWS (United States Fish and Wildlife
Service) by Aaranyak, it has been reminded with that:
“Golaghat and its adjoining area is a rugged landscape. The landscape plays a vital role in migration of elephants from large grasslands of Kaziranga National Park to undulating hills of Nagaland through Karbi-Anglong. Survey was conducted in 1973 by Survey of India, Government of India on the topo sheet no. 83F/10, 83F/14, 83F/15, 83F/16 the total forest cover in 308.89 km 2 (excluding Kaziranga) which was the largest elephant habitat including the seven Reserve Forests and adjacent areas of Karbi- Anglong”.
18. We may notice that some shadow of doubt has been cast by the Respondents upon the letters dated 21 st February 2011 and
27 th May 2015. It is contended that these letters had been issued by DFO with a biased mind and the letter dated 27 th May
2015 as an afterthought. We do not consider it necessary to go into the merit or otherwise of this contention. From the portions reproduced above from different letters and reports, it is clear that it is an elephant corridor. This finding is further fortified by an authentic document which is a notification of the
Government of Assam dated 18 th August 1999. This notification was issued in exercise of the powers conferred under section 5 of the Assam Forest Regulation of 1891. Schedule A of this notification declared the Proposed Deopahar Reserved Forest. It even provided its boundaries. According to the specified boundary in the notification; to the North was Numaligarh Tea
Estate and Numaligarh Garden Road; to the East is a footpath
10
forming the boundary between Deopahar and Kaltoni Pahar and part of Rajgarh; to the South; National Highway No. 39 and to the West; National Highway No. 39. Schedule-B of this notification makes a reference to this area being rich in wildlife.
It was specifically recorded in the notification that this is also a regular migratory route of elephants. The project proponent has filed on record as Annexure 19, the map showing layout of ‘NRL ’
Township area in Numaligarh Deopahar Kaziranga Extension.
The part which has been impugned in the present case, that is, the township extension has been clearly demarcated and its boundaries completely tally with the boundaries stated in the notification in question. These documents conclusively establish that there was and there is in existence an elephant corridor which has been obstructed by the construction of the wall, which is injurious to wildlife and has its adverse impacts on environment and ecology.
19. From the above mentioned letters of DFO Golaghat dated
21 st February 2011 and 27 th May 2015, the video clipping where an elephant has died after hitting against the said wall and the applicant’s affidavit referring to 12 elephants having died due to construction of said wall, it is clear that the ‘NRL’ has constructed the boundary wall in 2011 for the proposed expansion of Phase-3 of their residential complex and the said wall is coming in the way of the elephant corridor. The said wall is also encroaching upon the Deopahar ‘PRF ’ as well as the
‘NDZ’ .
11
20. The barbed wire and razo r’s edge fencing along the said wall is extremely dangerous to the elephants and other wild life passing through the vicinity. As a result, some elephants have died after the wall came up, as brought out in the video clipping given by Applicant. The elephant corridors have to be preserved to protect their habitats from fragmentation. They are of prime importance for migration of elephants from one habitat to another. We find that the wall and the proposed township are in violation of the ‘NDZ’ order.
21. As per the guidelines from the National Board for Wildlife, no power fencing can be erected on the elephant corridor. Further, fencing material is to be of certain specification and the source of power should be solar or battery, so that it does not cause life hazard to the elephants and this has to be strictly complied with.
22. Further, to restrict the entry of elephants on the golf course side, a high rise wall had been constructed during Phase-I of the township which draws the boundary between the highly dense
Deopahar Forests and the Golf Course. This wall also has barbed wire with razor’s edge fencing which is injurious to elephants.
23. It is also evident that the ‘NRL’ while making the Golf course, has denuded the hill covering about 5 hectares of a large number of trees, without any approval of the Central
Government or compensatory afforestation, despite its being in
12
the ‘NDZ’. They have flattened the hill and removed the precious top soil to make the golf course, thereby leading to environmental degradation.
24. Even though the applicants have challenged the golf course on the ground that i t does not have ‘EC’, it is seen from the records that the area is duly acquired and does not need a separate ‘EC ’ as was stated in the letter d ated 12 th October 2015 sent by SEIAA to Chairperson of the Tribunal. However, before denuding the hill and uprooting the trees, they ought to have taken the clearance from Competent Authority and raised compensatory afforestation, which was not done.
25. Apart from the violations under the Forest Conservation
Act, 1980 and Clause 34 of the Assam Forest Regulations 1891,
‘NRL ’ also violated condition No. 2 of the letter of the ‘MoEF ’ dated 18 th January 1994 by initiating construction of the golf course without the prior consent of the Director, Town and
Country Planning, Assam. Condition No. 2 of ‘MoEF’ letter reads as follows:
“Land use planning of the colony and land around it should be finalized in consultation with the State Town Planning Department”.
7here is no record of the golf course proposal ever having been approved by or in consultation with the Assam State Town
Planning Department, which was a condition precedent.
26. Even though the applicant has prayed against non- compliance of the judgement of the Tribunal dated 7 th September
13
2012 in the case of Rohit Chaudhary Vs. Union of India & others
(O.A. No. 38/2011), the same were not being pressed. The
Original Application was filed against the illegal activities including the operation of stone crushers, brick kilns, tea factories and other polluting activities in the No Development
Zone ( ‘NDZ ’) de marcated by the ‘Mo EF ’ notification of 5 th July,
1996. However, these issues do not find adequate elaboration in the present pleadings. Nonetheless, it hardly needs reiteration that these are directions of the Tribunal which have to be complied with.
27. Meanwhile, the Government of Assam vide notification no.
FRW. 5/2012/717 dated 10 th August 2015, has drawn up a
Comprehensive Action Plan in 2015. The said Committee was tasked to prepare a Comprehensive mining plan around
Kaziranga National Park so that animal corridors are not damaged any further. The Committee is also expected to prepare a restoration plan of the areas covering the damaged corridors due to mining. The Committee held its first meeting on
8th September 2015. Further the Assam Pollution Control Board had taken the GPS coordinates of all industries falling under the
‘NDZ’ and categorised them under red, orange and green, based on their severity in polluting the environment. A few stone crushers were also closed down. However, these steps are inadequate, compared to the enormity of the problem and thus, needs to be pursued vigorously, to implement the directions of the Tribunal.
14
The Hon’ble Supreme Court has held in Writ Petition (civil) 202 of 1995 T. N. Godavarman Thirumulpad Vs. Union of India & Ors. as follows:
“1. Natural resources are the assets of entire nation. It is the obligation of all concerned including Union Government to conserve and not waste these resources. Article 48A of the Constitution of India requires that the State shall endeavour to protect and improve the environment and to safeguard the forest and wild life of the country. Under Article 51A, it is the duty of every citizen to protect and improve the natural environment including forest, lakes, rivers and wild-life and to have compassion for living creatures. In the present case, the question is about conservation, preservation and protection of forest and the ecology. When forest land is used for non-forest purposes, what measures are required to be taken to compensate for loss of forest land and to compensate effect on the ecology, is the main question under consideration. Forests are a vital component to sustain the life support system on the earth. Forests in India have been dwindling over the years for a number of reasons, one of it being the need to use forest area for development activities including economic development. Undoubtedly, in any nation, development is also necessary but it has to be consistent with protection of environments and not at the cost of degradation of environments. Any programme, policy or vision for overall development has to evolve a systemic approach so as to balance economic development and environmental protection. Both have to go hand in hand. In the ultimate analysis, economic development at the cost of degradation of environments and depletion of forest cover would not be long lasting. Such development would be counter productive. Therefore, there is an absolute need to take all precautionary measures when forest lands are sought to be directed for non- forest use.” 28. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in its landmark judgment referred to as the T. N. Godavarman case dated12 th December 1996, held that the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980 was enacted with a view to check “further deforestation” and was to app ly to all forest irrespective of the nature of ownership or classification thereof. Hence, Section 2 of the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980 puts a restriction on further deforestation of “forest land” and would apply to any land which at the time of enactment of the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980 was “forest land” irrespective of
15
its classification or ownership. This is exactly the view taken also by the CEC in its recommendations dated 10 th September 2003 in IA No. 727 of 2001 in W.P. (C) No. 727 in the matter of T.N Godavarman Vs. Union of India & Ors and in the matter of Farmers Welfare Association Vs. Union of India & Ors along with other records and the report of the CEC dated 10th September, 2003.
29. On that basis, no development can be justified which has adverse effect on the environment. The present case is of such nature and clearly calls for a strict action. The principle of sustainable development enunciates that the development and environment should go hand in hand. In the case of Intellectuals
Forum, Tirupathi Vs. State of A.P 2006(2) SCR 419; 2006(3) SCC
549 INSC 86 the Supreme Court held as under:
“In the event of conflict between the competing interests of protecting the environment and social development, this Court in the case of M.C. Mehta Vs. Kamal Nath , 1997(1) SCC 388, in paragraph 35 held as under: "The issues presented in this case illustrate the classic struggle between those members of the public who would preserve our rivers, forests, parks and open lands in their pristine purity and those charged with administrative responsibility, who under the pressures of the changing needs of an increasingly complex society find it necessary to encroach to some extent upon open lands heretofore considered inviolate to change. The resolution of this conflict in any given case is for the legislature and not for the Courts. If there is a law made by Parliament or the State Legislatures, the Courts can serve as an instrument for determining legislative intent in the exercise of powers of judicial review under the Constitution. But, in the absence of any legislation, the executive acting under the doctrine of public trust cannot abdicate the natural resource and convert them into private ownership or commercial use. The aesthetic use and the pristine glory of the natural resources, the environment and the ecosystems of our country cannot be permitted to be eroded for private, commercial or any other use
16
unless the Courts find it necessary, in good faith, for the public and in public interest to encroach upon the said recourses."
This court in the case of Essar Oil Vs. Halar Utkarsh Samiti , [2004 (2) SCC 392] was pleased to expound on this. Their Lordships held:
"This, therefore, is the sole aim, namely, to balance economic and social needs on the one hand with environmental considerations on the other. But in a sense all development is an environmental threat. Indeed, the very existence of humanity and the rapid increase in population together with the consequential demands to sustain the population has resulted in the concreting of open lands, cutting down of forests, filling up of lakes and the pollution of water resources and the very air that we breathe. However there need not necessarily be a deadlock between developments on the one hand and the environment on the other. The objective of all laws on environment should be to create harmony between the two since neither one can be sacrificed at the altar of the other. "
A similar view was taken by this Court in the case of Indian Council for Enviro-Legal Action v. Union of India , [1996 (5) SCC 281, Para 31] where their Lordships said:
"While economic development should not be allowed to take place at the cost of ecology or by causing widespread environmental destruction and violation; at the same time the necessity to preserve ecology and environment should not hamper economic and other developments. Both development and environment should go hand in hand, in other words, there should not be development at the cost of environment and vice versa, but there should be development while taking due care and ensuring the protection of the environment. "
30. In Forward Foundation Vs. State of Karnataka and Ors. (O.A. No. 222 of 2014), the National Green Tribunal held as follows:
“…..there is a definite possibility of environment, ecology, lakes and the wetlands being adversely affected by these projects. There are multiple public authorities including SEIAA involved in regulating such projects and they are also responsible for
17
protecting interest of environment and ecology while keeping in mind the settled canon of sustainable development …it may also not be in the interest of justice and particularly, while applying the Principle of Sustainable Development in terms of Section 20 of the NGT Act, that these properties be demolished but that does not mean that they should not be directed to take all measures and precautions, even if it results in necessary demolition of some parts of the projects in the interest of environment, ecology and protection of lakes and wetlands.”
31. It is thus evident that there has been destruction of the environment. Hence the ‘NRL ’ shall be liable to pay the environmental compensation based on the principle of polluters pay and precautionary principle. In the case of Vellore Citizens
Welfare Forum Vs Union of India & Ors. (1996 AIR SC 2715) the
Supreme Court held that:
"The Precautionary Principle" and “The Polluter Pays Principle” are essential features of "Sustainable Development". The "Precautionary Principle" - in the context of the municipal law - means.
L Environment measures - by the State Government and the statutory Authorities must anticipate, prevent' and attack the causes of environmental degradation. LL Where there are threats of serious and irreversible damage, lack of scientific certainty should not be used as the reason for postponing, measures to prevent environmental degradation. LLL The "Onus of proof" is on the actor or the developer/industry to show that his action is environmentally benign.
"The Polluter Pays" principle has been held to be a sound principle by this Court in the case of Indian Council for Enviro- Legal Action Vs. Union of India J.T. 1996 (2) 196. The Court observed, "We are of the opinion that any principle evolved in this 'behalf should be simple, practical and suited to the conditions prevailing in this country". The Court ruled that "Once the activity carried on is hazardous or inherently dangerous, the person carrying on such activity is liable to make good the loss caused to any other person
18
by his activity irrespective of the fact whether he took reasonable care while carrying on his activity. The rule is premised upon the very nature of the activity carried on". Consequently the polluting industries are "absolutely liable to compensate for the harm caused by them to villagers in the affected area, to the soil and to the underground water and hence, they are bound to take all necessary measures to remove sludge and other pollutants lying in the affected areas". The "Pollute r Pays Principle” as interpreted by this Court means that the absolute liability for harm to the environment extends not only to compensate the victims of pollution but also the cost of restoring the environmental degradation. Remediation of the damaged environment is part of the process of "Sustainable Development" and as such polluter is liable to pay the cost to the individual sufferers as well as the cost of reversing the damaged ecology.
32. Before concluding, we may revisit some of major issues that were dealt with:-
1. From the rival contentions and the documents on record, it
is clear that a high wall has been constructed in 2011 for
the proposed new township with barbed wire fencing which
comes in the way of elephant corridors. At the same time
the importance of elephant corridors for migration and
regeneration of their species has been fully brought out in
the foregoing paragraphs.
2. As to the question whether the said wall is in violation of
the ‘NDZ ’ notification of ‘MoEF ’ issued in 1996, it has been
brou ght out that the ‘NDZ’ had laid down a condition that
there should be no construction within a radius of 15 kms
from the refinery. This wall clearly falls within the ‘NDZ ’.
3. As to the question whether the proposed land for ‘NRL ’
township Phase-III falls within the Deopahar ‘PRF ’, the
19
answer is in the affirmative, based on the letter no.
BRQ3/2003/406 dated 4 th August 2015 of Sub Divisional
Officer Bokakhat, addressed to Deputy Commissioner
Bokakhat, stating clearly that some portions of the land
already included in the draft notification (Deopahar ‘PRF ’)
dated 18 th August 1999 was also acquired for the extension
of ‘NRL ’ township. Thus, there is over lapping between the
lands of Deopahar ‘PRF’ and proposed ‘NRL’ township
(Phase-III).
4. The township extension is proposed to be located to the
west of the refinery, which is contrary to the conditions laid
down in the Environmental Clearance of 1991.
5. It is surprising to find as to how can a notified area under
‘PRF’ be readjusted and exchanged by two officers of the
State Government, without following the proper procedure
and approval by the Competent Authority.
6. From the facts on record, it is quite clear that the
construction of the golf course using heavy machinery has
certainly led to destruction of the tree cover and denuding
the hills, causing environmental degradation.
7. As regards the Tribunal’s directions for a Comprehensive
Action plan and monitoring mechanism, the Government of
Assam has complied by setting up a Task Force Committee
vide notification no. FRW.5/2012/717 dated 10 th August
2015 to prevent illegal encroachments in the ‘NDZ’ and
ensure implementation of the Tribunal’s orders. However,
20
these efforts need to pursued by the Assam State
Government much more vigorously to effectively implement
the directions of the Tribunal.
33. In conclusion, we issue the following directions:
1. As regards the wall with barbed wire fencing which comes
in the way of Elephant Corridor, the same should be
demolished. The area, where the wall has come up and the
proposed township is to come up is a part of Deopahar
‘PRF’. It also falls within the No-Development Zone
notification, issued by the ‘MoEF’ in 1996. Thereby, any
non-forest activity thereon would be in violation of the
decision of the Apex Court in the T. N. Godavarman case
(1996 ). Thus, the wall should be demolished within a
period of one month and the proposed township should not
come up in the present location.
2. Further, for causing environmental damage by destruction
of forest cover and flattening of the hill to build the golf
course, the ‘NRL’ will pay environmental compensation of
Rs. 25,00,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five lakhs) to the Assam
Forest department, which is to be kept in a separate bank
account for the restoration of the area and improving the
environment adjoining the ‘NRL’ complex and to reduce
man animal conflict.
3. Respondent no. 4 , ‘NRL’ will also make compensatory
afforestation of ten times the number of trees felled. The
21
plant varieties, suitable to the area in consultation with
biologists, may be planted.
4. In keeping with the letter and spirit of the notification for
‘NDZ ’, the Government of Assam and the ‘MoEF ’ will ensure
that no development activities whatsoever take place within
a radius of 15 kms of the ‘NRL’ , which could lead to
pollution and congestion, in compliance with the said
notification dated 5 th July, 1996. In furtherance thereof, we
direct that the judgment of this Tribunal in O.A. No.
38/2011 be strictly implemented, thereby the polluting
activities of the stone crushers, brick kilns & others be
immediately closed. We direct the Government of Assam to
vigorously implement the directions of the Tribunal by
having frequent meetings of the Task Force Committee and
effective implementation of their decisions.
5. The Government of Assam is directed to urgently take steps
as per law to finally notify Deopahar ‘PRF ’ into Reserved
Forest under Section 17 of the Assam Forest Regulations
1891, to prevent further loss to the ecology of Deopahar,
which is in close proximity to Kaziranga National Park
(15-20 Km) and is also used as an elephant corridor.
34. With the above directions, we dispose of the Miscellaneous
Application Nos. 787/2015 and 1006/2015 filed in Original
Application No. 38/2011.

Mr. Balendu Shekhar, Mr. Sriansh Prakash and Mr. Rajkumar Maurya, Advs. for Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change Mr. Shuvodeep Roy and Mr. Vinayak Gupta, Advs. for State of Assam
Date and Orders of the Tribunal Remarks
Item Nos. 13 & 14 1. This Tribunal vide the order dated 24.08.2016 , dealt
August 03, with the allegation that the Township extension area of 2018 Numaligarh Refinery Limited covered a part of elephant R
corridor which interfered with the environment . Following
facts were noticed:
“19. From the above mentioned letters of DFO st th Golaghat dated 21 February 2011 and 27 May, 2015, the video clipping where an elephant has died after hitting against the said wall and the applicant’s affidavit
referring to 12 elephants having died due to construction of said wall, it is clear that the ‘NRL’ has constr ucted the boundary wall in 2011 for the proposed expansion of Phase-3 of their residential complex and the said wall is
coming in the way of the elephant corridor. 1
The said wall is also encroaching upon the Item Nos. Deopahar ‘PRF’ as well as the ‘NDZ’. 13 & 14 20. The ba rbed wire and razor’s edge fencing along the said wall is extremely August 03, dangerous to the elephants and other wild life 2018 passing through the vicinity. As a result, R some elephants have died after the wall came up, as brought out in the video clipping given
by Applicant. The elephant corridors have to be preserved to protect their habitats from fragmentation. They are of prime importance for migration of elephants from one habitat to another. We find that the wall and the
proposed township are in violation of t he ‘NDZ’ order.
21. As per the guidelines from the National Board for Wildlife, no power fencing can be
erected on the elephant corridor. Further, fencing material is to be of certain specification and the source of power should be solar or battery, so that it does not cause life hazard to the elephant and this has to be strictly
complied with.
22. Further, to restrict the entry of elephants on the golf course side, a high rise wall had been constructed during Phase-I of the
township which draw the boundary between the highly dense Deopahar Forests and the Golf Course. This wall also has barbed wire with razor’s edge fencing which is injurious to elephants.
23. It is also evident that the ‘NRL’ while making the Golf course, has denuded the hill covering about 5 hectares of a large number of tress, without any approval of the Central
Government or compensatory afforestation, despite its being in the ‘NDZ’. They have flattened the hill and removed the precious top soil to make the golf course, thereby leading to environmental degradation. ”
2. Accordingly, following direction was issued:
“1. As regards the wall with barbed wire fencing which comes in the way of Elephant
Corridor, the same should be demolished. The area, where the wall has come up and the proposed township is to come up is a part of Deopahar ‘PRF’. It also falls within the No - Development Zone notification, issued by the
‘MoEF' in 1996. Thereby, any non-forest activity thereon would be in violation of the decision of the Apex Court in the T.N. Godavarman case (1996). Thus, the wall should be demolished within a period of one
month and the proposed township should not come up in the present location.”
3. In the Review Application, it is inter-alia submitted
2
that project had the clearance of the State Environment Item Nos. 13 & 14 Impact Assessment Authority which fact was not taken
August 03, into account by the Tribunal. 2018
R 4. Notice was issued in the Review Application. The
State of Assam has tak en the stand that out of 9 hectares
of land which was acquired by the State of Assam, only 1
hectare was required and the remaining area could be
returned to the Refinery and the wall could be realigned.
Affidavit dated 19.03.2017 is as follows:
“It may be summarized that the Review Petitioner acquired 750 Bighas land and secured it with boundary wall in the year 1996 wherein the old township is existing. In the year 2008, the Review Petitioner acquired
additional 67 bigha tea garden land and secured it with boundary wall in the year 2011 wherein the Review Petitioner started construction of residential quarters. Presently, the Review Petitioner has absolute lawful
possession over the plot of land measuring total 817 (750+67) bigha. Out of newly acquired 67 bigha (9ha) land (presently under possession of the Review Petitioner), 7 bigha (1ha) land falls in Proposed Deopahar Reserve
Forest notified in 1999.
As per original notification for Proposed Deopahar Reserve Forest in 1999 total area was 133.45ha which was subsequently
increased to 150.45ha through a joint survey carried out in Feb-Mar, 2012 after the 67 bigha (9ha) land was transferred to the review petitioner through Land Acquisition process in 2008. Except for the said 1ha land out of the
total 9ha there is no dispute on the remaining portion of 8 ha land under the possession of the review petitioner. If the review petitioner is willing to relinquish the 1ha land for Proposed Deopahar Reserve Forest by which
total area of Deopahar Reserve Forest will be 151.45 ha and thus it will ease out all problems including stray elephant movements also in that area.
In reference to the Review Petitioner’s prayer, the answering Respondent will have no objection if the boundary wall is re-aligned and construction work of the quarters are restarted in the remaining portion of the land
(i.e. 60 bigha) as prayed by the Review Petitioner, as per applicable guidelines and directives.
3
5. Further affidavit has been filed stating as follows:
Item Nos. “That NRL authority has surrendered the said 13 & 14 portion of land and the boundary wall,
August 03, covering 1 hectare land was demarcated and 2018 is finally demolished on 13.03.2018. This 1 hectare land has been taken over by Revenue R Department from NRL. This will facilitate free
animal movements in the area as well as for declaration of Deopahar as Reserve Forest shortly. By taking out of this 1 hectares land from the originally acquired land of 9 hectares, the balance 8 hectare of land, under the
possession of NRL, is free from proposed Deopahar Reserve Forest area. ”
6. Learned counsel for the review petitioner submits
that the entire wall need not be demolished as the same is
not the part of Deopahar Reserve Forest.
7. We are of the view that in view of categorical finding
already recorded by the Tribunal that the area where the
wall came up and the area where proposed township is to
come up is a part of Deopahar Reserve Forest, rehearing
on merits is not permissible.
8. Accordingly, we do not find any ground for review of
order dated 24.08.2016.
The review application is dismissed.
Execution Application No. 43 of 2017:
In view of above, no further order is necessary o n this
application and the same stands disposed of.

Action plan for reduction in incremental values of SOx and NOx.
Baseline & predicted GLC for SO2 and NOx:
Pollutant Max 24 hr Baseline value, Resultant value, Allowable limit, predicted µg/m3 µg/m3 µg/m3 GLC, µg/m3 Sulfur dioxide 12.5 19.4 31.9 80 (SO2) Nitrogen Dioxide 37.6 33.3 70.9 80 (NOx)
Resultant values are within the allowable limit as per NAAQS 2009.
Following measures shall be taken to monitor and control the emission of SO2 and NOx :
• Use of gaseous fuel in all the furnaces / heaters / boilers to minimize emission . • Use of low sulfur fuel for minimization of SO2 emission. • Provision of Sulfur Recovery Unit (SRU) with > 99.9% efficiency to minimize SO2 emission from the refinery complex. • Provision of low – NOX burners in heaters / furnaces / boilers to minimize NOX emission. • Provision of online flue gas monitoring system in all the stacks. • Provision of stack of sufficient height as per CPCB guidelines .
Fugitive emissions
The major sources of such fugitive emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in the refinery are the main processing area, tank farm area having storage tanks for crude oil and lighter products, effluent treatment plant (ETP).
Following measures shall be taken during design stage: • Provision of Close – Blow down (CBD) system for all the process units . • Minimum number of flanges, valves etc. • High grade gasket materials. • Usage of pumps with (single/double) mechanical seals. • All floating roof tanks shall be provided with double seal. • Implementation of VOC treatment unit in the ETP.
