1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. (IOCL) is a premier public sector company in the Oil & Gas Sector and is engaged in the business of refining and retailing of petroleum products in the country. It is the leading Indian corporate in the Fortune 'Global 500' listing, ranked at the 168th position in the year 2017. IOCL has also many POL terminals spread across the country. Due to space constraint, a full rake siding at the existing Dharmanagar Depot cannot be developed, hence necessity of re- siting the Dharmanagar Depot arose. Further for meeting higher demand, a larger capacity depot was conceived. IOCL had identified a plot at Agartala, near Sekerkote rail station and approached the State Govt for acquisition. The Govt. has acquired necessary land and handed over to IOCL. The proposed project is a green field project for setting up a POL storage & distribution depot with aggregate capacity of 29170 KL at, Plot no: 3161/p, 3183, 3183/6118, 3187/p, 3182, 3181, 3164, 3175, 3166, 3176/p, 3165, 3167, 3173, 3174, 3172, 3171/p, 3186, 3184, 3102, 3101, 3100, 3097, 3098, 3033, 3097, 5969, 3719, 3711, 3356, 3357 etc.(Details attached as Enclosure – 2), Mouza Bikramnagar and Madhuban Dist: West Tripura, Tripura.

The depot will receive product by (i) Railway wagon for which a railway siding will be constructed and (ii) by road in Tank Trucks for filling of Tank Trucks, a TLF Gantry with 8nos. of bay will be envisaged. Total land required for the project is 67.36 acre which have been acquired by the State Govt and handed over to IOCL and presently under possession of IOCL. Estimated water requirement is 5 KLD which will be met through bore wells to be constructed within the site. Estimated Power requirement is 1000 kVA which will be supplied by Tripura State Electricity Corporation Ltd. Stand by Generators of 2X1000 kVA and 1X500 kVA are proposed to be installed. All the mitigation measures will be taken to meet the environmental standards and environmental operating conditions for the Green Field project. Fire fighting facilities will be as per the recommendations of OISD117, 118 & 244. R & R package has been issued by Govt. of Tripura for the displaced persons as per LA Act 2013 It is envisaged to complete the whole construction within twenty four (24) months from the date of obtaining all the necessary statutory approvals. The total project cost for the proposed project is approximately Rs. 491.35 Crores.

2. INTRODUCTION IOCL is presently operating depot at Dharmanagar having capacity of 9291 KL. The depot is fed through half Railway Rake.. Due to space constrains siding for full rake cannot be developed. .It was therefore necessary to re-site the depot to an area where full rake siding can be developed. State Govt. of Tripura was approach for a suitable plot of land. A plot at Agartala, near Sekerkote rail station was identified which has been acquired by the State Govt. and handed over to IOCL. IOCL has decided to construct a rail fed depot of total capacity of 29170 KL on the above plot of land.

 Nature of Project: The proposed project is a Grass Root POL storage Depot and distribution project where material will be received through wagons, stored in above ground tanks and distributed by tank lorries.

 Need for Project & it’s Importance The demand of petroleum product is gradually increasing in the State of Tripura and the existing Dharmanagar depot will not be in a position to cope up with the growing demand, more over there is little scope of expansion of the depot since due to space constraint, full rake siding cannot be developed. The input to Dharmanagar Depot is by road only from state of Assam passing through state of Meghalaya. Road disruption frequently takes place due to natural and socio political reasons resulting in scarcity of POL products in the state of Tripura. Dharmanagar depot being the only depot in the state of Tripura, an alternative arrangement with higher storage capacity was felt essential.

 Employment Generation Potential Existing employees of Dharmanagar depot will be transferred to the proposed depot and rest of the requirement will be either recruited or engaged on contract.

The total Green Field Project is situated on a plot measuring 67.36 acres acquired by the State Govt. and handed over to IOCL.

5. PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE

 Infrastructural Facilities Since the proposed Project is a green field project, all the infrastructural facilities as mentioned above will be developed.

Air Pollution Management The air pollution mitigation measures conceived for the project is summarized below:  Water spraying will be done to minimize dust pollution during excavation and earth work (during construction phase).  Stack height of the DG sets will be as per CPCB standards.  Greenery will be developed along plant boundary to restrict air pollution. Water Pollution Management Wastewater Management philosophy is based on following:

 The wastewater management philosophy is based on “Zero Discharge” concept. All oily effluents will be diverted to Oil Water Separator (OWS).  The wastewater from OWS after removal of oil & after testing will be used for greenery development within the depot.  The collected slop oil will be disposed off to the third party for off-site recovery or recycling.  Domestic Sewage generated at the depot will be disposed off to the septic tank and disposed of via soak pit.  The separate storm water drainage system will be provided at the facility.  The non-contaminated rain water will be discharged directly to rain water harvesting pit within the facility. However, particularly during the monsoon, any oil-contaminated rain water will be led to the OWS for treatment prior to discharge. Noise Pollution Management The following noise abatement measures will be practiced.

 The equipments, which are the main source of noise, will have built-in type noise control abatement technology.  Greenery will be developed around plant boundary and other strategic locations to reduce noise pollution.

Solid Waste Management The following measure will be followed for management of solid waste

 Tank bottom sludge will generate while cleaning of oil storage tanks. The cleaning of oil storage tanks will be done once in five years as per the practice of Oil Industry.  Total tank bottom sludge along with filters contaminated with oil thus generated will be kept in secure, covered impermeable sludge pit located within the depot for the purpose prior to disposal via incineration or bio-remediation.  The spent or used oil will be stored at a specific location prior to safe disposal through MoEFCC / State PCB approved registered recycler.  Other hazardous wastes if any like spent batteries, waste oil, empty drums of oil/chemicals, fluorescent tubing etc. is disposed of in accordance with approved safety procedures.

6. REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT (R & R) PLAN R & R package has been issued by Govt. of Tripura for the displaced persons as per LA Act 2013. No additional R & R is envisaged by IOCL.
