PROPOSED TERMS AND REFERENCE FOR EIA STUDY
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Shree Cement Limited proposes to develop and operate Captive Limestone Mine (Lease area 283.585 ha.) of 3.6 MTPA near village Kachavaram & Inuparajupalli, Mandal-Karempudi, District- Guntur (Andhra Pradesh). The limestone mines will supply limestone to the proposed cement plant comprising 2.4 MTPA clinker, 4.0 MTPA Cement production, 15 MW Waste Heat Recovery Power Generation and Captive Thermal Power Plant of 25 MW. The cement plant is located southeast of limestone mines. The proposed staff colony is located east of cement plant. The location map of the mines, plant and colony is provided in Figure 1. Toposheet (1:50000 scale) showing the mines boundary, cement plant boundary and staff colony boundary and 10 km physiographical features around the project is shown in Figure 2.
TOR for the integrated project was issued vide MoEF letter no. J-11011/563/2010- IA II (I), dated 31st Dec., 2010 (EAC meeting dated 14.12.10). The draft The TOR was extended till 31- 12-2013 vide letter dated 22-3-2013. Thereafter MOEF asked Shree Cement Limited to apply for fresh TOR. The EIA study was conducted during the winter season period December 2010 to March 2011. The proposed fresh TOR is designed in such manner that the primary data generated this time shall be compared with previous primary data generated for one full season. Monitoring shall be done at same locations where done earlier. Since no industry has come up in the study area in the past 3 years, the baseline data generated three years back is unlikely to change. Therefore met data and ambient air quality data generated for one month (representative winter season; like December) shall be considered adequate for EIA Purpose. .

2.0 PROPOSED TOR OF EIA REPORT
The purpose of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is to determine as precisely as possible, within the present limits of knowledge and expertise, the likely environmental impacts of the proposed project. The objective will be to establish a clean unit whose waste, if any, can be recycled / reused to the maximum extent feasible. Technical options of reuse and disposal of liquid and solid wastes generated from the project will be explored.
M/s Shree Cements Limited retained EMTRC Consultants Private Limited, Delhi to conduct the EIA Study. EMTRC is accredited by the NABET to conduct EIA study in Mining Sector. The following TORs are suggested by EMTRC.
1. The study area covers an area of 10 km radius around the proposed site. Baseline environmental quality of the study area shall be assessed based on secondary data collected from various sources supplemented by data generated at site during the period 1st Oct 2014 to 31st December 2014.
