EAC observation: The EAC, after deliberations and especially in view of the project site in Ib Valley (having CEPI score 66.35) covered under the said orders of NGT, preferred not to take the proposal forward for the present, but to seek advice of the Ministry for appropriate course of action in such cases. The Committee also opined that in case, such proposals are to be considered on merits, environmental conditions and other stringent measures would have to be looked into comprehensively in complete perspective and in consultation with CPCB.
Reply: The project site of Siarmal OCP is located at a distance of 26.4 KM from the Ib Valley - Jharsuguda Critically Polluted Cluster. A letter from the State Pollution Control Board Odisha dt: 10-09-2019 was submitted to Member Secretary, IA-Coal, MoEF&CC, vide our letter dt: 10-09-2019 (Copy enclosed as Enclosure I)
EAC observation: The Committee observed that baseline data for air quality should have been presented in range (Min-Max), rather than average values. Also, air quality modelling and the evaluation of impacts should be based on worst case scenario.
Reply: The baseline data for air has been generated at 10 locations for the period of 4th November 2017 to 3rd February 2018, the details of the same is given in following table:

Apart from this EAC also required Air Quality Impact Prediction (AQIP) considering worst case scenario, accordingly a remodelling was done for incremental
Job No.706124 Page - 1 capacity of 50.0 Mty by AERMOD software considering maximum values at baseline stations as existing Ground Level Concentration (GLC). The details of the same is given below:
❖ Baseline data: Baseline data of Siarmal OCP for the year 2017-18 (Nov’17 to Feb’18) has been considered for proposed AQIP. Considering the worst-case scenario modelling was conducted for peak coal and OB i.e. 50.0 Mty coal and 94.62 Mm3 OB respectively.
❖ Modelling Approach The assessment methodology for the air dispersion modelling exercise follows the guidance specified in the US EPA user guide for AERMOD. The model of selection is the commercially available AERMOD View dispersion model, developed by Lakes Environmental. This model is used extensively to assess pollution concentration and deposition from a wide variety of sources. AERMOD View is a true, native Microsoft Windows application and runs in Windows applications. The AMS/EPA Regulatory Model (AERMOD) was specially designed to support the EPA’s regulatory modelling programs. AERMOD is a regulatory steady-state plume modelling system with three separate components:
AERMOD (AERMIC Dispersion Model), AERMAP (AERMOD Terrain Pre- processor), and AERMET (AERMOD Meteorological Pre-processor). The AERMOD model includes a wide range of options for modelling air quality impacts of pollution sources, making it a popular choice among the modelling community for a variety of applications. Some of the modelling capabilities of AERMOD include the following:
➢ The model may be used to analyze primary pollutants and continuous release of toxic and hazardous waste pollutants. ➢ Source emission rates can be treated as constant or may be varied by month, season, hour-of-day, or other optional periods of variation. These variable emission rate factors may be specified for a single source or for a group of sources. For this project all emission rates were treated as constant. ➢ The model can account for the effects of aerodynamic downwash due to buildings that are nearby point source emissions. ➢ Receptor locations can be specified as gridded and/or discrete receptors in a Cartesian or polar coordinate system.
Job No.706124 Page - 2 ➢ For applications involving elevated terrain, the U.S. EPA AERMAP terrain pre- processing program is incorporated into the model to generate hill height scales as well as terrain elevations for all receptor locations. ➢ The model contains algorithms for modelling the effects of settling and removal (through dry and wet deposition) of large particulates and for modelling the effects of precipitation scavenging for gases or particulates. ➢ AERMOD requires two types of meteorological data files, a file containing surface scalar parameters and a file containing vertical profiles. These two files are provided by the U.S. EPA AERMET meteorological pre-processor programme. ❖ Identification of Sources: To assess the impact on air quality different sources of air pollution considered are as follows:
1. Coal cutting and loading. 2. Drilling in OB benches. 3. Blasting in OB benches. 4. Truck loading of coal & OB. 5. Truck unloading of coal & OB 6. Coal and OB transportation 7. Dozing of OB 8. Wind erosion at active OB dumps
❖ Micrometeorological Data
Fig 1: Wind-rose diagram showing predominant wind direction from South to North
Job No.706124 Page - 3 Micrometeorological and microclimatic parameters were recorded by Ecomen Pvt. Ltd. for the winter period, hourly reading of wind velocity, wind direction, temperature, relative humidity, cloud cover and rainfall data were recorded. The model was run for 3 months data for each day. Considering worst case scenario out of the 90 days data, highest output at each receptor was considered as incremental value.
❖ Emission Rates An S&T study titled, “Development of emission factors for various mining machineries & operations in opencast coal mines (EE-27)” was carried out by CMPDI (HQ) during 2002 to 2008. During this study, emission factors for Suspended Particulate Matter (PM ≤ 100 μm) were developed for Drilling, Loading of coal and OB by Shovel, Unloading of OB, and Transportation on haul roads and Coal sizing. The emission factors data for PM -10 and PM -2.5 have been estimated on the basis of particle size distribution study.
❖ Model Domain, Receptor Network and Terrain Considerations The selected model domain was 12 km in both the east-west and north-south directions, with the centre of the domain being the centre of the proposed project site. For proposed modelling 10 number of discrete cartesian receptor and 441 uniform cartesian receptors have been taken considering the area of extent 12 km buffer zone.
Fig 2: Map showing discrete and Cartesian receptors
Job No.706124 Page - 4 ❖ Terrain Features: The classification of the land use in the vicinity of the proposed project is needed because dispersion rates differ between urban and rural areas. In general, urban areas cause greater rates of dispersion because of increased turbulent and buoyancy-induced mixing. This is due to the combination of greater surface roughness caused by more buildings and structures and greater amounts of heat released from concrete and similar surfaces. The USEPA guidance provides two procedures to determine whether the character of an area is predominantly urban or rural. One procedure is based on land-use type, and the other is based on population density. Both procedures require an evaluation of characteristics within a 3-km radius from the subject source, but the land-use methodology is considered more accurate. Hence, this method was applied and it was determined that the rural dispersion coefficient be selected for this modelling project. Additionally, the topography in the region of the proposed project is defined as either simple terrain (terrain lying below the stack top elevation) or complex terrain (terrain above the top of the stack). Measurements of the terrain in the area surrounding the proposed project were made using terrain data obtained from SRTM 30 m derived from the WebGiS.

❖ Controlled Measures: The following control measures have been adopted for proposed Siarmal OCP.
Job No.706124 Page - 5 ➢ Coal winning by Surface Miner ➢ Dust extractors for drills or wet drilling arrangement ➢ Black topping and proper maintenance of haul roads ➢ In-pit belt conveyor for transportation of coal ➢ Deployment of Fog canon ➢ Deployment of road sweeper ➢ Provision of SILO for coal loading ➢ Suppression of dust by fixed sprinklers in all critical points ➢ Development of green belt ➢ Provision of vertical greenery at Sidings

From the above table, it can be observed that maximum incremental values has been observed at core zone stations however the predicted concentration will remain under permissible limit as per Coal mine standards with proper control measures. In buffer zone stations due to hilly terrain at northern and southern part of the mine, maximum incremental values observed at stations lying in North and NW direction namely Rampia, Mundelkhet and Ghogharpalli. However absolute values of
PM10 & PM2.5 at all buffer zone locations, is well within permissible of NAAQS, 2009. The baseline data was collected before commissioning of Sardega Siding due to which high values of PM10 was observed.
Since the carrying capacity of the area in terms of air quality is a limiting factor, further precautions are required for air pollution control measures. Since in coal mining areas, about 80% of the dust generation is on account of transportation activities, provision of belt conveyor, first mile connectivity and coal evacuation through railway siding has been proposed for the entire coal area. With commissioning of additional control measures i.e. deployment of Fog Canon, mechanical sweepers etc. the air quality will further improve. The details of such infrastructure along with action plan for its commissioning is as under:

Reply: Apart from standard ToR the following specific conditions were also prescribed in ToR. Point wise compliance details of each specific condition is as follows:
Specific point no. 1: Assessment of Carrying capacity of the surrounding ecosystem around the proposed mine.
Reply: Considering the same a detailed Carrying Capacity of Surrounding Ecosystem of Siarmal OCP has been done by CMPDI. The detailed report of the same has also been submitted with Final EIA/EMP as Annexure VI. The salient feature of the proposed study is as follows:
• Carrying capacity of an ecosystem is broadly defined as the size of population that can be supported indefinitely upon the available resources and services of ecosystem.
• Environmental Carrying capacity is the difference between the permissible standard limits and the actual baseline values in respect of three vital components of environment namely Air, Water and Land.
• Carrying Capacity consists of both supportive and assimilative capacity of the study area.
• Study Period has been Six Months and multidisciplinary approach has been used to assess carrying capacity of surrounding ecosystem.
• Surrounding Ecosystem of Study Area comprises:
1. Mining Industry (3 Coal Mines) 2. Non-Mining Industry - Nil 3. Road Transportation: Yes 4. Human Habitation: Yes From carrying capacity, it has been observed that carrying capacity of different environmental components e.g. water, noise, flora and fauna etc. has good

Apart from the air, the carrying capacity in terms of water, noise, land, flora and fauna was also undertaken and outcome of the study in brief is as under:
Job No.706124 Page - 17 • In terms of water environment, the competing user requirements for the study area have been assessed with respect to availability of groundwater and the stages of groundwater development in the core and buffer zones have been estimated to be safe
• The area exhibits acceptable potential in terms of assimilative capacity for noise environment.
