Cement 2.5 MTPA Vide letter no. J-11011/372/2007-IA II (I) dated 31 st Oct., 2011. 4.0 EXISTING SOURCE OF LIMESTONE Emami Cement Limited (ECL) have an existing Captive Limestone Mine (ML Area - 395.05 ha) with production capacity of 3.17 MTPA at Villages: Kukurdih & Risda, Tehsil: Balodabazar, District: Balodabazar- Bhatapara (Chhattisgarh). To cater the limestone requirement for existing granted capacity of clinker (i.e. 3.2 MTPA), ECL have proposed the following: Enhancement in production capacity of its existing Captive Limestone Mine (ML Area - 395.05 ha) from 3.17 MTPA to 5.5 MTPA (ROM) at Villages: Kukurdih & Risda, Tehsil: Balodabazar, District: Balodabazar- Bhatapara (Chhattisgarh) Public Hearing has been conducted for the project; Final EIA / EMP Report has to be uploaded. New Limestone Mine (ML Area - 35.864 ha) with production capacity of 0.725 Million TPA (ROM) at Village: Dhandhani, Tehsil: Balodabazar, District: Balodabazar- Bhatapara (Chhattisgarh) Final Technical Presentation held before SEAC; few queried raised, reply of which has been submitted to SEAC for reconsideration.

Emami Cement Ltd. 4 Proposed Amendment in Environmental Clearance reg. outsourcing of Limestone in existing Cement Plant At Villages: Risda & Dhandhani, Tehsil: Balodabazar, District: Balodabazar - Bhatapara (Chhattisgarh) Project Report 5.0 PROJECT PROPOSAL Emami Cement Limited (ECL), at present, have only 3.17 MTPA of limestone against clinker production capacity of 3.2 MTPA and total lime stone requirement is 4.99 MTPA. Therefore, to cater the remaining requirement (i.e. 1.82 MTPA) of Limestone; ECL is proposing for amendment in Environmental Clearance (MoEFCC letter no. J-11011/309/2013-IA II (I) dated 08 th Sept., 2016) reg. outsourcing of Limestone in existing Cement Plant at Villages: Risda & Dhandhani, Tehsil: Balodabazar, District: Balodabazar - Bhatapara (Chhattisgarh). 6.0 OUTSOURCING OF LIMESTONE Emami Cement Limited (ECL) will outsource 1.82 MTPA of limestone from the following limestone mines: M/s. S.N.S. (Minerals) Ltd. - 0.9 MTPA from its three mines o Limestone Mine (ML Area - 42.567 ha) with production capacity of 0.5 MTPA at Village: Tamona, Tehsil: Maihar, District: Satna (M.P.) o Limestone & Dolomite Mine (ML Area - 7.89 ha) with production capacity of 0.2 MTPA at Village: Jamuwani Khurd, Tehsil: Vijayraghavgarh, District: Katni (M.P.) o Limestone & Dolomite Mine (ML Area - 8.564 ha) with production capacity of 0.2 MTPA at Village: Jamuwani Kala, District: Katni (M.P.). Shrishvaran Kumar Pathak - 0.95 MTPA from its Ramasthan Limestone Mine (ML Area - 32.374 ha) with production capacity of 1.0 MTPA at Ramasthan, Raghurajnagar, District: Satna (M.P.). 7.0 APPROACH TO THE PLANT SITE Cement Plant of Emami Cement Ltd. at Balodabazar-Bhatapara (Chhattisgarh) is well connected with SH - 10 (~4.0 km in N direction). Nearest Railway Station is at Bhatapara which is about 19.5 km in NW direction from the plant site and nearest Airport is at Raipur which is approx. 63 km in SSW direction from the plant site. 8.0 IMPACT DUE TO TRANSPORTATION OF LIMESTONE TO BE OUTSOURCED Transportation of limestone, to be outsourced, from Satna & Katni district of Madhya Pradesh to existing plant site of Emami Cement Ltd. at Balodabazar-Bhatapara (Chhattisgarh) will be done by Rail / Road. Transportation route will be as follows: Satna / Katni to Dadhapara Railway Siding - By Rail Dadhapara Railway Siding to Plant Site - By Road (via NH - 130, SH - 10 and Village Road) Transportation route map is shown in Figure - 3.

Emami Cement Ltd. 6 Proposed Amendment in Environmental Clearance reg. outsourcing of Limestone in existing Cement Plant At Villages: Risda & Dhandhani, Tehsil: Balodabazar, District: Balodabazar - Bhatapara (Chhattisgarh) Project Report Existing Traffic Survey SH - 10 & MDR exist to and from the cement plant and transportation of goods is being done via same existing road. Traffic survey has been conducted for 24 hours at NH- 130 which is approx. 35 km in NNW direction from the plant site, SH - 10 (~4.0 km in N direction from the plant site) and MDR (~1.0 km in ENE direction from the plant site). The traffic survey monitoring was conducted on 01 st July, 2017 to predict the future traffic growth and the load on the plant road and surroundings due to the proposed amendment project. Measurements of Traffic density were made continuously for 24 hours by visual observation and counting of vehicles under four categories, viz., heavy motor vehicles, two / four wheelers and others. The details of the traffic volume count have been provided in table given below. Table - 3 (a) Traffic Volume Count Survey (NH - 130) S.
