The number of trucks required to transport this quantity will be around 6-7 trucks per hour. Upon development of rail sidings by NLCIL, the indigenous coal of 1.25 MMTPA shall be transported through Rail from Neyveli to Plant site. The distance to be travelled from New road, rail or sea traffic Neyveli to Plant site by train/rake is about 60 1.17 during construction or Yes km which is shorter than the current operation? imported coal transport from Karaikal Port (128 km). Currently the Imported Coal is being transported from Karaikal Port to ITPCL site by rail. About 5 trains per day carry the current requirement to meet the 1200 MW. As per the proposal, indigenous coal is proposed to be blended at up to 25% with imported coal, thus reducing the imported coal requirement to that extent. Accordingly, the number of trains visiting the ITPCL will also be reduced (approximately 4 trains only) thereby minimising the impact too.

The discharge approved earlier for the project From discharge of sewage or are other effluents to water or the 7.2 No land (expected mode and  The reject brine discharge to sea along place of discharge) with return cooling water of about 24,062 m3/hr.  Treated sewage and the sludge are being used for gardening/greenbelt development. Air  The Stack emissions due to the use of blended coal will remain same as for imported coal use as there is no additional coal requirement, no change in coal parameters and no change in calorific value. Hence no additional impact due to use of blended coal on Air Environment. The emissions will not exceeds the limits stipulated such as PM 3 3 By deposition of pollutants < 50 mg/Nm , SO2 < 200 mg/Nm and NO <300 mg/Nm3 The transporation of 7.3 emitted to air, onto the land Yes 2 Coal (6~7 Trucks per Hour), may result in or into water some impacts on air quality along the route due to exhaust emissions, fugitive dust suspension and traffic congestion.

Land  No additional coal requirement and ash generation is envisaged due to the use of indigenous coal and hence no additional land requirement is envisaged.  Indigenous coal transportation from Neyveli to ITPCL Plant site is proposed through existing preferred road network (Neyveli- Vadalur- Kurinjipadi- kullanchavadi – alapakkam petrol bunk - Villiyanallur then plant). This land use abutting the existing road network is largely rural comprising of cropland/plantations/barren/habitations/w ater Bodies/Streams, etc., It is estimated that about 6-7 trucks per hour will be required to transport the 1.25 MMTPA of indigenous coal. Trucks transporting coal may create some impact en route if not adequately managed, due to fugitive dust emission, accidental spill if any.  Additional Municipal Solid waste (MSW) generation is estimated to be about 84 Kg/day. Currently ITPCL is managing all bio degradable waste within plant premises through vermicomposting and recyclable wastes through local vendors. The same will be followed for this additional MSW generation at Truck Parking Facility and hence no significant impact is envisaged Water  No additional liquid effluent is envisaged except the additional sewage as the truck drivers and cleaners are expected to use Plant User facility in the Truck parking Area. The estimated additional sewage from truck parking area will be
