Production Coal Based Thermal Power Plant of 2x135 = 270 MW Capacity Fuel Coal rejects will be used as primary fuel. The fuel shall be mixture of ROM coal (40%) and washery rejects (60%) and shall be consumed at the rate of 1.05 kgs per KWH, totaling to 6800 TPD (2720 TPD ROM coal and 4080 TPD washery rejects). The washery reject shall be available from the washery of M/s Maruti Clean Coal and Power Ltd. located at a distance of about 6 km. The washery reject shall be transported to the proposed power plant through pipe conveyor. Raw coal transport shall be through road. Cooling System The steam turbine will be of 3000 rpm, tandem compound single re-heat condensing type, air cooling, condensing machine with extraction for regenerative feed water heating. Area of the Project 174.50 Ha

Based on the consideration of the documents submitted, the presentation made by the project proponent and discussion held, the Committee then decided that project proponent should be asked to submit the clarification regarding points raised during the presentation. Project proponent then assured the committee to submit the desired information at the earliest. Committee then decided that after receipt of the requisite information, the information/documents should be placed before the committee for consideration of Environmental Clearance as per Environment Impact Assessment Notification, 2006. Accordingly, project proponent submitted the desired information on 13/04/09. The submitted information/documents were considered by SEAC, Chhattisgarh in 30th meeting on 08/05/2009.

Project proponent informed that:-  Local species Mahua, karanj, Neem, Jamun, Aam, Arjun etc. will be given preference for green belt. Selection of broad leaf local plant species for the development of green belt will be ensured.  Copy of Preliminary Feasibility Report for availability of water in Lilagarh River submitted to Water Resources Department, Government of Chhattisgarh is submitted along with the agenda note of WRD, Korba, WRD Bilaspur vide letter dated 13/04/09. As per the agenda note, the water requirement of 3.09 MCM can be created by Lilagarh River in spite of previous allocations of 7.5 MCM as the annual yield of the river is 52.65 MCM which conclusively establishes the availability of water from Lilagarh River for the project.  Transportation route map (from SECL Dipka mines to the project site via Tivarta, Kekranar, rainpur & Bhandhakhar) for the transportation of fuel and ash is submitted. The total distance is 12.8 kms. The route from SECL Dipka mines to Bhandhakhar is maintained by SECL. Project proponent will construct the approach road from the plant site to SECL maintained Dipka – Pali road (0.7 kms.) Project proponent will be responsible for its regular maintenance and upkeep.  Undertaking for financial provision of Rs. 100.00 lacs or 5% of net profit (whichever will be higher) per annum for various CSR activities is submitted.  Possibility of railway siding : Chief Engineer (PRG -I) CSEB has entrusted M/s Wardha Paower Company Private Limited to coordinate amongst all the investors who are interested for supply of coal to their respective project site D:\Docs\2018-04-12\0fc0c6bc1a8a226edaaa64ac0a98b5b8.doc 2 through the common railway corridor developed for the Hasdeo Arand coal belt. They have already done the pre-feasibility study through RITES and started communication with various proponents in this regard. Their letter to the sister concern M/s Godawari Power & Ispat Limited (previously Ispat Godawari Limited) seeking our participation is submitted and the commitment of MCCPL to be a party to this common railway corridor project is also submitted. As evident from their letter that the corridor will be operational from 2013-14. Since the excepted COD of MCCPL is July, 2011. Project proponent intend to transport coal from the mines by road transport till then.  Commitment for providing financial support for establishment of ITI : Project proponent has adopted women ITI Korba. A Institute Management Committee has been from and registered by the registrar of societies Bilaspur (Chhattisgarh). Copy of memorandum of association of the Institute Management Committee of women ITI Korba is also submitted.  Justification for not selecting the monitoring station beyond 5 km : The position of all the air sampling stations were kept within the periphery of 6 kms with the farthest at 5 kms southwards from the core zone because the ground level concentrations (GLC) of all the air pollutants were found to be maximum at a distance of 3.3.5km to get the best representation and in consistent with the spread excepted from a 220 meter high chimney. However as required by SEAC Chhattisgarh project proponent has submitted GLC values study for 7 days (from 31/03/09 to 06/04/09) at 6 locations mainly at a distance of 9-10 kms in all directions (along with the map showing the locations of sampling stations).

No fly ash will be used for land and road filling.  Authentic information regarding no historical importance monument within 10 km radius : MCCPL has submitted the undertaking that there are no monuments, temples and structures of historical importance within 10 km radius of the proposed site. Toposheet map is also enclosed indicating that Mahadev Temple Pali (ASI monument) is beyond 10 km radius.
