The use of slime in the beneficiation process appears less than what was stipulated in the consent issued by Chhattisgarh Environment Conservation Board for the existing ore-beneficiation plant. 3. Greenbelt development in the existing plant is less than the required coverage. 4. Some internals roads are not yet tarred. The approach road is also not asphalted which creates dust due to heavy vehicular movement. 5. Project proponent should consider some optimization in the land requirement. The information submitted and the inspection report of the Sub-Committee was discussed in 19th meeting on 26/12/08 of SEAC Chhattisgarh. The Committee was unanimously of the opinion that the study area should cover an area of 10 km radius around the proposed site and surface water, ground water, soil, noise and ambient air quality should be monitored at-least at eight locations around the proposed site. The proposed project does not fulfill the criteria as mentioned in general condition of Schedule of EIA Notification, 2006, hence falls under Category ‘B’. Based on the consideration of the documents submitted, the presentation made by the project proponent and discussion held, the Committee decided that the proposed project should be considered as ‘B1’ category and prescribed the Terms of Reference (TOR) for preparing draft EIA report for the above-mentioned project. The prescribed Terms of Reference (TOR) for preparing draft EIA report is enclosed as Annexure-III. (7) M/s Rajat Power & Steel Private Limited, Plot No. 3-4 A, Industrial Area, Village- Sarora, Dist. – Raipur (C.G.)

D:\Docs\2018-04-07\083f1327b0d939b97da089bb02a0ce73.doc 6 committee that the presentation should be made after compilation of the requisite information/documents. Hence, committee then decided to postpone the presentation for the next meeting. Project proponent made presentation in the 15th meeting on 22/10/2008. Based on the consideration of the documents submitted and discussion held, the Committee then decided to ask the project proponent to submit the additional information. Project proponent submitted the information on 10/12/2008. The information submitted was reconsidered in 19th meeting on 26/12/08 of SEAC, Chhattisgarh. Draft Guidelines of B category projects for considering as B1 or B2 was discussed in the 12th meeting. As per para 7 (i) I of Environment Impact Assessment, Notification, 2006, Ministry of Environment & Forests, Government of India, New Delhi has to issue guidelines for categorization of projects into B1 or B2. The guidelines to be issued by Ministry of Environment & Forests, Government of India, shall be final and binding to SEIAA/SEAC Chhattisgarh. After deliberation committee then decided that finalization of guidelines by SEAC for categorization of B1 & B2 projects is not necessary. The projects/proposals being put up for scrutinizing / scoping/appraisal shall be considered as B1 & B2 category depending up on the nature and location specificity of the project/ proposal case-to-case basis. Para 7 (i) I -Stage (1) – Screening of Environment Impact Assessment, Notification, 2006 states that “in case of category ‘B’ projects or activities, this stage will entail the scrutiny of an application seeking prior environmental clearance made in Form I by the concerned State level Expert Appraisal Committee (SEAC) for determining whether or activity requires further environmental studies for preparation of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for its appraisal prior to the grant of environmental clearance depending up on the nature and location specificity of the project.” The categorization of category ‘B’ projects or activities in to B1 or B2 lies in the purview of State level Expert Appraisal Committee (SEAC). The Committee considered the proposed activity from the point of view of its location (industrial area)., size and nature i.e. Rolling Mill and Induction Furnace of comparatively small capacity and felt that no significant impact on the surrounding is anticipated. Based on these considerations, the committee recommends to grant the project ‘B2’ category. It is therefore recommended to grant Environmental Clearance, subject to fulfillment of the following terms and conditions:-  Stack of rolling mill and induction furnace should be at the farthest possible point from the ring road.  Suction hood followed by spark arrestor, air base cooling system and bag filter should be installed to control gases emission from induction furnace.  Scrubber of adequate capacity should be installed to control the gaseous emission from the reheating furnace of rolling mill.  Outlet emission of particulate matter from stack/air vents would be less than 50 mg/NM3.  A closed cycle cooling tower should be provided for 100% recycling of the water in induction furnace and rolling mill.  Settling tank of adequate capacity should be installed for treatment of effluent generated from rolling mill and zero discharge condition should be maintained all the time.  Regular maintenance of the equipments should be done to control any possible noise pollution. Earplugs should be provided to all the employees working in high noise area.  All internal roads should be concrete and asphalted.  Stack height shall not be less than 35 m for rolling mill and 30 m for induction furnace.

D:\Docs\2018-04-07\083f1327b0d939b97da089bb02a0ce73.doc 7  Low NOx burners should be installed.  Mill scales should be disposed off safe and scientific manner.  Adequate green belt in minimum 35% area should be developed all along the plant premises.  Only oil-fired furnace should be installed for rolling mill and good quality furnace oil should be used. No coal should be used.  Adequate funds shall be allocated for undertaking Socio-Economic activities (community welfare, environmental development activities apart from committed plantation) and in any case it shall not be less than 5% of the net profit.

SEIAA may be informed accordingly.
