 Groundwater Quality Concentration of different parameters is below or around desirable limits and water is fit for drinking purposes.

Ambient Air Quality Data

 The combined average results of Air Analysis indicate that the concentration of different parameters is within prescribed standards as indicated in NAAQS 2009

although at individual instances PM2.5 & PM10 are going out of limit. The higher value

of PM2.5 & PM10 may be due to location of project near the industrial hub Ludhiana.  During the construction phase of our project, ambient air quality may further deteriorate due to construction activities, vehicle movement as well as DG sets. Accordingly, mitigation measures like tarpaulin sheets, water sprinkling system at frequent intervals, high quality construction equipment along with compulsory PUC Certificates for all the construction vehicles as well as stack of adequate height is proposed.  During the operation phase, Green Belt has been proposed to mitigate the air pollution.

The EO, MC, Kharar vide its letter no.1101 dated 08.09.2016 has reported that till now no sewerage has been laid in the area where said project is coming up. However, when the same will be laid, the project proponent will be allowed to discharge its waste water into sewer on its own cost. 4. The EO, MC, Kharar vide its letter no.1102 dated 08.09.2016 has reported that the solid waste generated from the project site will be collected by MC, Kharar on payment. 5. The ambient air, ambient noise, soil and ground water monitoring has been got done for all the parameters as per the prescribed norms. The concentration of all the parameters is found in the permissible limits. The SEAC queried to the project proponent as to whether the existing building plan has been super imposed with the proposed building plan and marked in different colors.

167

In reply to this query, project proponent sought some time to super impose the existing as well as proposed areas on the layout map with different colors.

After detailed deliberations, SEAC decided to defer the case till project proponent submits reply to the aforesaid observations. In compliance to the aforesaid decision taken by SEAC, the project proponent was requested through additional detail sought (ADS facility available on the web portal) to submit the reply to the observations. The project proponent has submitted a layout plan online in response the ADS. The case was placed in the agenda of 168th meeting of SEAC held on 22.06.2018 but could not be taken up due to paucity of time and was deferred. The case was considered by the SEAC in its 169th meeting held on 20.07.2018, which was attended by the following on behalf of the project proponent: i) Sh. Chandan Goyal, Legal Advisor on behalf of the promoter company. ii) Sh. Sital Singh M/s CPTL, Mohali, Environment Consultant. The layout plan on which existing as well as proposed areas superimposed with different colors has been marked was taken on record by the SEAC. Thereafter, the project proponent stated that there is no change in the earlier environmental clearance conditions except the decrease in number of flats from 22 to 20 and increase in built up area of the shops by 404 sqm and requested to issue amendment in the environmental clearance. The SEAC observed that though with increase in built up area of the shops by 404 sqm & decrease in number of shops from 22 to 20, there is no change in the environmental parameters such as population, water requirement, solid waste generation as well as there is no change in zoning plan & number of flats i.e. 516, as such it is case of amendment in the environmental clearance rather than expansion case. After detailed deliberations, the SEAC decided to recommend to SEIAA to issue amendment in the environmental clearance to the project proponent i.e. with the number of shops reduced from 22 to 20 and increase in built up area by 408 sqm with number of flats remaining unchanged i.e. 516 in total plot area of 6.50 acres. All other environmental parameters such as water requirements, sources, waste water generation, treatment, reuse, disposal, energy requirements & savings, solid waste generation, handling & disposal, storm water management, Environmental Management Plan shall remain unchanged.

The case is placed before the SEIAA for consideration.
