Estimated Cost of the Rs. 49.50 Crores Project 2.0 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/ BACKGROUND INFORMATION (i) Identification of Project and Project Proponent The proposal is for re-laying/re-routing of three new piggable lines namely, one line for Black Oil , second line for White Oil and third line for Lubes on Railway land/Port land connecting Korukkupet and Chennai Port through the areas which will facilitate better management and maintenance of dock lines in the subject stretch. Page 3 of 22 (ii) Brief description of Nature of the Project Need for the Project and its Importance In Chennai, there are 8 pipelines (Product and Lubes) emanating from CPCL Refinery which passes through Tondiarpet Terminal/Tondiarpet Lube complex, Korukkupet Terminal and FST. Out of 6 product lines starting from CPCL, the SKO and MS lines terminates at Korukkupet terminal, ATF line terminates at Tondiarpet terminal. The MD line - 20”, Naphtha line - 18”/16” and FO line - 14” traverses from CPCL to Chennai Port. Also LUBE line of 12” dia starts from CPCL via LBP reaches Chennai Port Jetty at north quay. Thus 4 lines (One MD Line, One Naphtha line, One FO line and One Lube Line) exist across full stretch i.e. from CPCL Refinery to Chennai Port and are also called as dock-lines. The existing pipelines and their route and length are given in Table-1.

In the stretch between Korukkupet terminal and Chennai Port, the Black Oil, Naphtha, HSD & part of Lube lines are mostly underground. All the aforesaid four dock-lines were constructed as non-piggable lines. These lines were originally laid between 1985 and 1998 and over the years across the line routes particularly on the underground portions, habitations have come up. Over the years, Page 4 of 22 in and around the pipeline route between Korukkupet Terminal and Foreshore Terminal habitations have come up and road infrastructure has also developed over the pipelines and it has become extremely difficult to have access to the underground segments. Hence, maintenance of the underground portion of lines between Tondiarpet R.S/Korukkupet Terminal and port entry (UG segment) have become too difficult task. Despite line withstanding enhanced hydrotesting annually, in case of eventuality of a minor leak, it becomes very difficult to locate and take corrective action. It has the potential to create unsafe incidents in view of pipelines passing underground through habitations and several stretches are below the public roads having heavy traffic out of which some are roads plying the heavy vehicles/containers from/to Chennai Port. These lines were not designed and constructed as piggable and thus taking up periodic integrity assessment study is not feasible. Hence it is proposed to replace the UG portion of the pipeline with piggable line for safe and reliable operation. M/s BPCL also had 3 dock lines passing through the same area through habitations in the same topography in slightly different routes from that of IOC had to be shut off (underground segment connecting Terminal & Port) in 2013 consequent to a PIL case filed in National Green Tribunal Chennai (NGT) after the incident of contamination of water in the bore well/wells near their lines. In the same ongoing PIL case in National Green Tribunal, Chennai, MOP&NG as one of the respondents made various short, medium and long term commitment on behalf of OMCs. As per which, IOC will be taking action for re-routing of the underground portion of the dock lines in the Railway corridor. The lines are serving the vital requirement of the Nation, in meeting the requirements of Defense/Para military, Power Sector, Railways, Transport, Major industries and PDS besides meeting the MS/HSD demand of Tamil Nadu, Pondicherry UT and parts of adjoining states namely Andhra Pradesh & Karnataka. These lines are used for both export from CPCL, import and coastal positioning of HSD during short fall in CPCL production to meet the demand of Tamil Nadu, Pondicherry UT and parts of adjoining states namely Andhra Pradesh & Karnataka. The naphtha line is used for evacuation of Naphtha from CPCL by way of export. The FO line is used for positioning product at FST from CPCL for bunkering as well as for export from Chennai port. Similar manner the Lube line is used for export from CPCL /import of base oils as well as extracts. Thus these dock lines play a vital role in evacuation of CPCL production and also receive through coastal movement to meet local demand during shortfall in production /shut down period. Besides meeting the MS/HSD demand of Public, these lines also cater to requirement of PDS, all the 3 wings of Defense, Coast Guard, Para military, Civil Aviation, Bunkering requirements for merchant navy ships, major customers like power plants, Railways, State Transport sectors, Fertilizer plants etc. Taking into consideration the vital requirement of these lines on the one hand and the challenge of lines passing through habitations on the other hand, it is proposed to re-route the lines between IOC Korukkupet and IOC Foreshore Terminal., Chennai. The schematic layout depicting the existing lines and the lines proposed for replacement is enclosed as Annexure-I. Page 5 of 22 (iii) Employment Generation (Direct & Indirect) due to the Project For execution of the project 1 Officer in Manager Grade (D & above) is posted & 2 Officers in below Manager grade is to be posted, at site for supervision during construction time, till completion of the project. However, for Operations no additional manpower is required and existing manpower will be used. 3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION (i) Type of project including interlinked and interdependent projects, if any. Re-laying/re-routing of three new piggable lines namely, one line for Black Oil , second line for White Oil and third line for Lubes on Railway land/Port land connecting Korukkupet and Chennai Port.
