1.0 INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND

Jindal Power Limited (JPL) has installed Coal Based Thermal Power Plant of 2400 MW capacity in District Raigarh, Chhattisgarh, which constitutes 4x 600 MW. Environmental Clearance (EC) for 4x600 MW Thermal Power Plant was accorded by MoEF&CC vide letters dated 18.03.2011 for Units #1 & #2 and 04.11.2011 for Units #3 & #4 (copies of both given in Annexure 1). Subsequently, all four units of 2400 MW have been synchronized and achieved COD.

Additional condition no. (vi) stipulated in EC Amendment letter dated 26.04.2017 ( Annexure 2 ) states “Coal transportation shall be preferably by rail/ or pipe/belt conveyor after thirty months only” .

Permission for transportation of coal by road was granted by MoEF&CC to transport of coal by road from mines of MCL (Kulda and Basundhara mine), SECL (Baroud, Jampali & Chhal Mines) and through CCPC from Gare Pelma Coal mines to power plant at Tamnar.

JPL has an operational CCPC to transport coal from Gare Pelma coal block and same is being used to transport coal to the plant. JPL has Fuel Supply Agreement (FSA) with SECL and MCL for supply of coal for 2 units of 4 X 600 MW only. JPL anticipated that it may get FSA for coal supply for entire 4 X 600 MW from MCL mines and thus planned to construct a Cross Country Pipe Conveyor (CCPC) from Kulda Mines to the Power Plant. The new CCPC was to be constructed between Kulda mines of MCL and the plant, passing through Odisha & Chhattisgarh states. Consents to Establish were obtained from OSPCB & CECB vide letters dated 16.09.2014 and 04.11.2015, respectively. Its construction in Chhattisgarh area commenced and Rs. 13.643 Crores has already been spent till date.

Meanwhile, coal allocation policy underwent a change and Govt. decided to do away with FSA system and conduct auction of coal under ‘SHAKTI’ Scheme for the power sector. Hence, in today’s changed scenario there is no likelihood of JPL getting the required quantities of coal for 4 X 600 MW from single source i.e. MCL mines located at Kulda/ Basundhra. Unless company has a dedicated coal allocation from a mine, this CCPC even if completed would not be practical to operate. Furthermore, the completion of the CCPC will encounter a major hurdle in present scenario since the terminating part of CCPC near the plant will be passing through the coal block already allocated to the Gujarat Government.

2.0 PRESENT PROPOSAL

In view of the above changed scenario and to reduce dependency on road, JPL plans to develop bulk rail transportation system to transport coal from various mines of SECL and MCL. East Rail Corridor from Kharsia to Dharamjaygarh with a spur line from Gharghoda to Gare Pelma is being developed by the concessionaire “Chhattisgarh East Railway Limited” and is being constructed by M/s IRCON International Ltd. The East corridor is

Assessment of Impacts Due to Transportation of Coal for 4X600 MW TPP of JPL 1 Min Mec Consultancy Pvt. Ltd.

being constructed to mainly cater for outward traffic to evacuate coal from Gare Pelma sector. JPL will have advantage to use this East Corridor to transport coal as the traffic will be inward. Bhalumuda railway station is being constructed on the spur line from Gharghoda to Gare-Pelma. JPL is developing a Railway siding, taking off from the Bhalumuda Railway station so that coal can be transported by rail from SECL and MCL mines. Key plan for the railway system is shown in Fig. 1 .

NOC from Chhattisgarh East Railway Limited (CERL) and In Principle Approval from CTPM, South Eastern Central Railway, Bilaspur has been obtained by JPL for construction of a Private Siding at Bhalumuda over spur line of East Corridor. Copy of the same is given in Annexure 3 .

Execution plan for railway siding:

Rail line section from Kharsia to Gharghoda has already been commissioned in March, 2019

Section from Gharghoda to Korichhapar has already been commissioned on 12 th October, 2019

Section between Gharghoda to Bhalumunda is at an advanced stage of completion and stated to get operational by December, 2020.

Work order for Survey, DPR and Detailed Engineering & Construction Supervision for dedicated railway siding of JPL has already been awarded and field survey started on 18 th October 2019. The siding will be completed by December 2020.

Till such time that the railway siding becomes operational, coal for the project needs to be transported partly from existing CCPC from Gare Pelma 2 & 3 to the plant and partly by road from SECL and MCL mines.

Keeping in view the above facts, JPL has no option but to continue coal transportation by road as permitted vide EC amendment letter dated 26.04.2017 till December 2020 or till the proposed dedicated railway siding of JPL become operational, whichever is earlier, without any changes in presently transported quantity of coal and corresponding to & fro trucks movement on the route.

Assessment of Impacts Due to Transportation of Coal for 4X600 MW TPP of JPL 3 Min Mec Consultancy Pvt. Ltd.

To assess the impact due to the transportation of coal from mines of SECL & MCL to 4X600 MW Power Plant at Tamnar, traffic study has been carried out with the following objective:

(i) Traffic and road surveys for assessment of carrying capacity on the proposed routes (ii) Reporting of air & noise quality data along the proposed routes (iii) Air quality modelling for impact assessment of incremental ground level concentration of air pollutants. (iv) Survey of flora, identification of villages and forests within 100 m of the proposed route on either side.

Road widths measurement, condition of roads and road type, details of vegetation, villages, forests along the route etc. survey was carried out previously and traffic volume measurements have been carried out recently between 16 th to 25 th December 2019. The survey has been done by M/s Min Mec Consultancy Pvt. Ltd. The air quality & noise level monitoring has been carried out by M/s Ultimate Envirolytical Solutions, Raipur between 20 th to 21 st November 2019.

2.1 Description of Proposed Route

Coal is being transported to Power Plant partly by road from mines of MCL (Kulda & Basundhra) and mines of SECL (Baroud, Jampali & Chhal) and partly by CCPC from Gare Pelma coal mines. The coal is being transported by road through three routes, which have been called as “Route-1”, “Route- 2” and “Route-3” as described below in Table 1 and shown in Fig. 2.

The route length from Kulda mine to plant is 41.3 km but upto Basundhara it is 43.1 km and the greater of the two distance has been considered for analysis. A new bypass is under construction near Kulda mine. This bypass has two roads separated by 2.5 m wide divider as follows: 14 m wide road specially for HMV (Trucks, buses etc.) 10 wide road dedicated for LMV (car,

The construction work is almost complete. Vehicles are plying on the road. Only black topping is to be carried out soon. Since this report is being prepared for coal transportation by trucks, hence, the width of bypass road considered for calculation purpose is the width dedicated for HMV only (RW03 to RW04) i.e. 14 m (refer description below this table). No-Entry timings for trucks from 9.00-10.30 AM and 4.00-5.00 PM apply in Beleimunda Village. Earlier No-Entry timing was also applicable in Gopalpur village. But due to construction of an unpaved bypass road for trucks, No-Entry timings has been waived off in this village. 2 Baroud/ 38.1 44.6 The distance frm the plant to Baroud mine is Jampali mine 38.1 km, wherein there is no change. of SECL However, further down the same road, Jampali mine is located in NW to Baroud. The length of the road traversed to reach from JPL plant to Jampali is 44.6 km. Hence, amongst the above two distances, the maximum of the two, 44.6 km till Jampalli mine has been considered for this report since Baroud lies on the same route & gets covered within the longer route analysis. 3 Chhal Mine 50.6 50.8 Increased by 0.2 km i.e. 200 m due to minor of SECL change in route alignment near newly constructed railway over bridge between RW28 and RW30 Note: * The length of routes were previously submitted to MoEF&CC as part of EC amendment proposal of the JPL plant vide report entitled “Report on impact assessment due to transportation of coal by road from MCL and SECL mines to 4 x 600 MW Power Plant at village- Tamnar, District - Raigarh, Chhattisgarh of M/s Jindal Power Ltd. August, 2016”.

Description of Kulda & Gharghoda Bypass :

There are two roads which bypass Kulda mine. One is 14 m and only HMVs ply on it while general public with cycle, 2 Wheeler & LMVs ply on 10 m bypass road. The line diagram of the bypass section is shown below:

Kulda Bypass

Thus there is no interaction between trucks and public transport from RW03 to RW04 on Kulda Bypass.

Gharghoda bypass is currently under construction. Current Right of Way (ROW) is approximately 14 m. Minimum 7 m carriageway is expected after completion of construction.

2.2 Quantity of coal to be transported

The quantity of raw coal being transported by road till 26.10.2019 was sufficient to meet the requirement of the power plant in conjunction with the quantities received via CCPC from Gare Pelma coal mines. The company does not envisage any increase in coal requirement based on the pattern of power generation and power demand of the last 3 years. The previous and present status of coal requirement is as follows:

Reference Coal requirement EC amendment dated 26.04.2017 (100% 4.81 MTPA domestic coal for Unit 3&4) (all units ~9.62 MTPA) Current coal consumption (April 2018-March 4.23 MTPA 2019) Anticipated requirement upto December 2020 4.23 MTPA Coal transported by road 2.99 MTPA Coal transported by existing CCPC 1.24 MTPA

Assessment of Impacts Due to Transportation of Coal for 4X600 MW TPP of JPL 6 Min Mec Consultancy Pvt. Ltd.

No change in coal quantity with respect to April 2018-March 2019 is anticipated and the same consumption pattern is anticipated to continue till December 2020 using 21 T tippers/ dumpers/ trucks. Accordingly the daily traffic movement is anticipated till December 2020 will be as follows:

3.0 ASSESSMENT OF PROPOSED ROAD FOR ITS CATEGORISATION & CARRYING CAPACITY AS PER IRC 64 (1990)-GUIDELINES ON CAPACITY OF ROADS IN RURAL AREA AND IRC 103 (1990)- GUIDELINES ON CAPACITY OF ROADS IN URBAN AREA

3.1 Road width measurement

The routes from mines of SECL and MCL to Power Plant is shown in Fig. 2 .

On all the three routes, the width of the road was measured by using meter tape. Since, the road width was not uniform, the road length was traversed till the road width changed and at that location, road width was measured again. Thus, at a total of 31 locations road width measurement was carried out on all the three routes. The locations at which the road width has changed have been marked as “RW” and shown in Fig. 2 . The road widths along with their geographical coordinates are given in Table 3 . The lengths of the sections of roads were measured after marking the geographical coordinates in Google Earth and importing the kml file created into Auto- CAD. The map showing the road width of the entire road and the lengths for which a road width has prevailed can be seen in Fig. 3.

Photographs have been taken at the locations at which width has been measured. These are shown in Annexure 4.

3.2 Traffic Volume Carrying Capacity of the Road

3.2.1 Rural roads

Part of the routes considered is a highway passing through rural areas. These highways are considered as an all-purpose road, with no control of access and with heterogeneous mix of fast and slow-moving vehicles.

There are three terms which are to be considered - (i) Capacity, (ii) Design Service Volume and (iii) Level of Service.

Capacity is defined as the maximum hourly volume (Vehicles per hour) at which vehicles can reasonably be expected to traverse a point or uniform section of a lane or roadway during a given time period under the prevailing roadway, traffic and control conditions.

Design Service Volume (DSV) is defined as the maximum hourly volume (Vehicles per hour) at which vehicles can reasonably be expected to traverse a point or uniform section of a lane or roadway during a given time period under the prevailing roadway, traffic and control conditions while maintaining a designated level of service.

Level of service (LoS) is defined as a qualitative measure describing operational conditions within a traffic stream and their perception by drivers/ passengers. Level of service definition generally describes these conditions in terms of factors such as speed and travel time, freedom to manoeuvre, traffic interruptions, comfort, convenience and safety. Six level of services are recognized commonly, designated from A to F, with level of service A

Assessment of Impacts Due to Transportation of Coal for 4X600 MW TPP of JPL 13 Min Mec Consultancy Pvt. Ltd.

representing the best operating condition (i.e. free flow) and level of service F the worst (i.e. forced or break-down flow). The figure below shows various level of service in the form of indicative volume flow condition:

Under normal circumstance, use of Level of Service “B” (available from A to F) is considered adequate for the design of rural highways. At this level, volume of traffic will be around 0.5 times the maximum capacity and this is taken as the “design service volume” for the purpose of adopting design values. LoS C could also be adopted for design, wherein traffic will experience congestion and inconvenience during some of the peak hours, which may be acceptable. For LoS C, design service volumes can be taken as 40% higher than those for LoS B.

The recommended design service volume for plain roads with low curvature (0-50 degrees/km), as is the case in the study area, is given in Table 4 .

TABLE 4 RECOMMENDED DESIGN SERVICE VOLUMES FOR PLAIN ROADS WITH LOW CURVATURE AS PER IRC: 64-1990 Type of Road Description Recommended Design Service Volume in PCU/day Single Lane A single lane bi-directional road should have 2000 Roads at least 3.75 metre wide paved carriageway with good quality shoulders such as moorum shoulders of minimum 1.0 metre width on either side. Intermediate Intermediate lane roads should have a 6000 Lane Roads pavement width of around 5.5 metre with good usable shoulders on either side. Two Lane Two lane roads shall have a 7 metre wide 15000 Roads carriageway and good earthen shoulders. Two Lane Two lane roads + paved & surf ace shoulders 17250 Roads + of atleast 1.5 m width on either side.

Assessment of Impacts Due to Transportation of Coal for 4X600 MW TPP of JPL 14 Min Mec Consultancy Pvt. Ltd.

In case of two lane roads, where the shoulder width or carriageway width on a two lane road are restricted, there will be a certain reduction in capacity. Table 5 gives the recommended reduction factors in this account over the capacity values given in Table 4 .

TABLE 5 CAPACITY REDUCTION FACTORS SUGGESTED FOR SUB-STANDARD LANE AND SHOULDER WIDTH ON TWO-LANE ROAD Usable shoulder width, m 3.50 m lane 3.25 m lane 3.00 m lane >/= 1.8 1.0 0.92 0.84 1.2 0.92 0.85 0.77 0.6 0.81 0.75 0.68 0 0.70 0.64 0.58 Source: Table 5 of guidelines for capacity of roads in rural area (IRC: 64-1990)

The result of presence of slow moving vehicles in traffic stream is that it affects the free flow of traffic. A way of accounting for the interaction of various kind of vehicles is to express the capacity of roads in terms of common unit. Therefore, the number of vehicles have been converted into “passenger car units” (PCUs) using the equivalency factor as per Table 1 of IRC: 64-1990. The equivalency factors used have been given in Table 6 below.

3.2.2 Urban roads

Some part of the roads in this study are falling in urban areas and have been considered as urban roads. The carrying capacity of urban roads is different from rural roads.

Capacity of urban roads is also a function of the roadside fringe conditions, e.g. parking, extent of commercial activities, frontage access etc. For purpose of recommendations given further on, the following fringe conditions are assumed:

Arterials : No frontage access, no standing vehicles, very little cross traffic

Sub- : Frontage development, side roads, bus stops, no arterials standing vehicles, waiting restrictions

Collectors : Free frontage access, parked vehicles, bus stops, no waiting restrictions

Design service volumes for different categories of urban roads corresponding to above referred conditions are given in Table 7.

Under normal circumstances, it is recommended that normally Level of Service C be adopted for design of urban roads. At this level, volume of traffic will be around 0.70 times the maximum capacity and this is taken as the “design service volume” for the purpose of adopting design values.

The equivalent PCU of different vehicle categories do not remain constant under all circumstances. Rather, these are a function of the physical dimensions and operational speeds of respective vehicle classes. In urban situations, the speed differential amongst different vehicle classes is generally low, and as such the PCU factors are predominantly a function of the physical dimensions of the various vehicles. Nonetheless, the relative PCU of a particular vehicle type will be affected to a certain extent by increase in its proportion in the total traffic. Considering all these factors, the conversion factors as shown in Table 8 are recommended for adoption.

3.3 Traffic Survey

The traffic survey was conducted as per IRC: 9-1972. The sites for traffic survey monitoring were fixed away from the villages or intersections, to the extent possible. The traffic density was monitored in the up and down directions of the following locations:

Assessment of Impacts Due to Transportation of Coal for 4X600 MW TPP of JPL 17 Min Mec Consultancy Pvt. Ltd.

Census Location name Census Location name Point Point CP-1 Kudumkera village CP-9 Near JPL Gate no. 3 CP-2 Baroud Village CP-10 Jhinkabahal village CP-3 Nawapara village CP-11 Khuruslenga Village CP-4 Baihamura village CP-12 Taparia village CP-5 Samaruma village CP-13 Bileimunda village CP-6 Jhingolpara village CP-14 Ratanpur village CP-7 Gorhi village CP-15 Near Kulda mine bypass CP-8 Tamnar village

The locations can be seen in Fig. 2 and their photographs in Annexure 5. The monitoring was done at each location for a period of 24 hours continuously. The observed traffic density was processed and total number of vehicles was calculated on hourly basis as well as for 24 hours. The monitoring plan included the following vehicles, namely, LMV, buses, trucks, motor cycles and scooters, cycles and others.

Slow moving vehicles produce interference to the free movement of traffic. Hence, to account for the interaction of different kinds of vehicles moving on the route, the capacity of the roads has been converted into Passenger Car Unit as per IRC: 64-1990. The outcome of the monitoring after processing the raw data has been recorded in Annexure 6 in terms of vehicle count to arrive at the current vehicle volume.

3.4 Anticipated Traffic on proposed route

The traffic volume estimated due to the movement of coal carrying tippers from various sources (refer section 1.2 above) has been assessed based on the coal required for operating all Units of Tamnar TPP of JPL. The coal has been transported to site through various routes from Kulda & Basundhara Mines of MCL in Odisha and from SECL mines in Chhattisgarh, namely, Baraoud, Jampali & Chhal. The data of month wise total quantity of coal received from MCL and SECL via road has been analysed for April 2018 to March 2019. It is expected that a similar pattern shall be followed in the future as well. Based on the analysis, the traffic volume due to coal carrying trucks has been estimated in Table 2 earlier. No additional trucks are anticipated and the existing traffic volume on the roads as measured during survey contained the coal transportation trucks to JPL Tamnar TPP.

The calculations for the existing and projected (due to natural growth in traffic, see Section 3.5) carrying capacity of the road have been done in Table 9, which shows the road width, the design service volume according to road width, the present and projected traffic after 1 year expressed as a percentage of the designed service volume of the road.

Assessment of Impacts Due to Transportation of Coal for 4X600 MW TPP of JPL 18 Min Mec Consultancy Pvt. Ltd.

3.5 Growth in existing traffic

It is proposed to use the road for coal transportation for further 1 year till December 2020. In future the existing road traffic is likely to experience a natural growth also, which is affected by the following factors:

Economic 1. Gross National Product (GNP) or Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

2. Agricultural Output

3. Industrial Output

Demographic 4. Population

5. Rural/ Urban mix of population

The natural growth can be assessed through various ways which related to either one or more of the above parameters. Past trends of data related to traffic flow from census, vehicle registration or fuel sales can also be used, if available. In this case, being a rural road, past trend data was not available for sufficient number of years from authentic sources for extrapolations. Hence, a growth rate of 2.26% has been assumed on the basis of 22.6% population growth rate in Chhattisgarh in the previous decade, as per Census 2001 & 2011.

The growth in traffic has been projected for next 12 months (till December 2020) based on the formula prescribed by IRC:108-1996 (Guidelines for Traffic Prediction on Rural Highways) and same has been used in subsequent Table 7.

n The formula used for projection is P n = Po(1+r)

Where

Pn = Traffic in the nth year

Po = Traffic flow in the base year

n = number of years (1 years)

r = annual rate of growth of traffic, expressed in decimals. (0.0226 for Chhattisgarh)

While doing projection, the existing trucks of power plant have been excluded and only the remaining traffic has been projected.

Hence, traffic at CP- 3 i.e. Nawapara village and CP-4 i.e. Baihamura village does not include JPL’s traffic. In future, if coal from Chhal is transported then there will be increase in traffic at these two CP Location. However, coal quantity & no. of trucks will be adjusted in such a manner that the traffic would remain within the maximum traffic, which is plying on the route, currently.

3.6 Summary and conclusion regarding increase in traffic

From the perusal of Table 9, it can be seen that the present road widths is sufficient to carry existing traffic volume as well as additional traffic volume in future upto December 2020 for Census Point in Urban Areas. Road width at four Census Points location in Rural Areas i.e. CP-01 (Kudumkera village), CP-02 (Baroud Village), CP-05 (Samaruma village) and CP-06 (Jhingolpara village) is not sufficient to support the traffic at Los B/C. However, the present as well as future traffic will remain well within the maximum capacity of the road. The DSV utilization exceeds the limits due to shorter road width (6 m). It can be seen in Table 2 that there is sufficient shoulder widths on either side (2.0-2.5 m) and will be able to support the traffic easily.

4.0 SATELLITE IMAGES FROM GOOGLE EARTH FOR ROUTE FROM SECL & MCL COAL MINES TO POWER PLANT

8.0 IMPACT DUE TO TRAFFIC

The impact of increase in traffic on various parameters of the environment is discussed in subsequent paragraphs.

8.1 Ambient Air Quality

The plying of trucks from various mines to Power Plant will result in emission of particulates, HCs, SO 2, NOx and CO. The ambient air quality near the project will have a component of the pollutants from the coal carrying hyvas/trucks as well. In order to access the impact on existing air quality in the area due to currently plying of coal bearing trucks, monitoring of existing ambient air quality was undertaken as given in Table 10 above. The values are within the permissible range which demonstrates that the current truck movement, if maintained unchanged in future, will keep the ambient air quality within range in future also.

Since there is no proposal to increase the current truck movement for coal transportation, air quality prediction modelling exercise has not been carried out.

Assessment of Impacts Due to Transportation of Coal for 4X600 MW TPP of JPL 29 Min Mec Consultancy Pvt. Ltd.

8.2 Ambient Noise

The maximum number of trucks currently plying on the road under worst case are expected to be approximately 24-25 trucks per hour (for 24hrs) on a particular road stretch. The sound level from the movement of tippers passing on the road is approximately 90 dB(A). This will be a short term increase, prevailing only at the time of passage of truck. The overall Leq for an hour or day will be lower. As the distance increases from the line of truck movement, the anticipated Leqs will be as follows:

NOISE ATTENUATION IN ALL DIRECTIONS OVER FLAT OPEN GROUND [SOUND AT SOURCE = 90 dB(A)]

55 SOUND LEVEL IN dB(A) SOUNDLEVEL

35 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 120 130 140 150 160 170 180 190 200 DISTANCE FROM SOURCE (m)

At a distance of 7 m, the Leq is anticipated to be approximately 65 dB(A), falling within the limits for commercial areas, which is the usual case along roads. Monitoring of existing noise level in the area was undertaken as given in Table 14 above. The values are within the permissible range of Industrial area which demonstrates that the current truck movement, if maintained unchanged in future, will keep the noise level within range in future also. As there is no proposal to increase the traffic load, further impact on noise level is not anticipated.

8.3 Ecology

Dust may affect photosynthesis, respiration, transpiration and allow the penetration of phytotoxic gaseous pollutants. Dust from highways and roads are deposited on leaves of road side vegetation and affect by inducing changes in pH, Relative Water Content and species diversity. However, this will be reversible process as the dust on leaves will be washed out during rainy season and in case of high wind. Vegetation act as natural filters by depositing dust particles on their leaf surface, susceptible and highly exposed part of a plant and, thus, makes an important contribution in the improvement of air quality. Leaves act as pollution receptors and decrease dust load of the air.

9.0 OBSERVATIONS

During site visit, the following observations were made along the routes:

The details of three coal transportation route is as follows

1. MCL mines (Kulda/Basundhra) to Plant via Route-1: 43.1 km via Gopalpur, Ratanpur, Bileimunda & Dhaurabhantha. 2. SECL Mines (Jampali & Baroud) to Plant via Route-2: 44.6 km via Ambikapur highway (through Gharghoda & Punjipatra) & Tamnar. 3. SECL Mines (Chhal) to Plant via Route-3: 50.8 km via Chhal, Gharghoda, Punjipatra & Tamnar.

A new bypass is under construction near Kulda mine (RW03 to RW04). This bypass has two roads separated by 2.5 m wide separator as follows: • 14 m wide road specially for HMV (Trucks, buses etc.) • 10 wide road dedicated for LMV (car, motor cycle, jeep etc.) The construction work is almost complete. Vehicles are plying on the road. Only black topping is to be carried out soon. Thus, there is no interaction between trucks and public transport on Kulda Bypass. Gharghoda bypass is currently under construction (on Route-2 & 3, section RW13 to RW16) as shown in Fig. 7 . Current Right of Way (ROW) is approximately 14 m. Minimum 7 m carriageway is expected after completion of construction. At the time of field survey, it was found that on Route-1 there is no “No- Entry” timings for trucks from 9.00-10.30 AM and 4.00-5.00PM in Beleimunda Villages. Earlier “No-Entry” timings for trucks was also applicable in Gopalpur village (on Route-1). But due to construction of a Unpaved type bypass road for trucks movements, No-Entry timings are not applicable in this village.

10.0 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

This study has been conducted to assess the likely impact of coal transportation from mines of SECL Mines (Jampali, Baroud & Chhal), MCL Mine (Kulda and Basundhra mine) to TPP at Tamnar, Tehsil Tamnar, District Raigarh, Chhattisgarh of M/s JPL.

The quantity of raw coal being transported by road is sufficient to meet the requirement of the power plant in conjunction with the quantities received via CCPC from Gare Pelma coal mines. The company does not envisage any increase in coal requirement based on the pattern of power generation and power demand of the last 3 years. Anticipated requirement upto December 2020 is also expected as 4.23 MTPA which will be met partly from Gare Pelma coal mines through CCPC and partly from Mines of MCL (Kulda & Basundhra) & SECL (Jampalli, Baroud & Chhal) by road using 21 T tippers/ dumpers/ trucks. It estimated that on an average 4187 TPD from MCL mines & 4009 TPD from SECL mines is being transported. Corresponding, daily to & fro nos. of trucks movements are 400 trucks from MCL mines and 382 trucks from SECL mines. The same trend of coal transportation shall be followed in future also.

All surveys, calculations and assessments have been carried out in line with Standards available from Indian Road Congress (IRC), Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) and United States Environment Protection Agency (US EPA). Road width along entire length has been measured besides observation of traffic volumes at various Census Point locations.

Based on the various aspects studied, the following conclusions are arrived at:

From the aspect of Traffic Volume and capacity of the road

Assessment of Impacts Due to Transportation of Coal for 4X600 MW TPP of JPL 32 Min Mec Consultancy Pvt. Ltd.

(Kudumkera village), CP-02 (Baroud Village), CP-05 (Samaruma village) and CP-06 (Jhingolpara village) is not sufficient to support the traffic at Los B/C. However, the present as well as future traffic will remain well within the maximum capacity of the road. The DSV utilization exceeds the limits due to shorter road width (6 m). It can be seen in Table 2 that there is sufficient shoulder widths on either side (2.0-2.5 m) and will be able to support the traffic easily.

From the aspect of Impact on Ambient Air quality - In order to access the impact on existing air quality in the area due to currently plying of coal bearing trucks, monitoring of existing ambient air quality was undertaken Ultimate Envirolytical Solutions, Raipur, as given in Table 13 above. The values are within the permissible range which demonstrates that the current truck movement, if maintained unchanged in future, will keep the ambient air quality within range in future also.

From the aspect of Impact on Ambient Noise - The sound level from the movement of a truck passing on the road is approximately 90 dBA. This will be a short term increase, prevailing only at the time of passage of truck. There will be a short time increase in the noise level during plying of the vehicles. The overall Leq noise level will be slightly higher. As the vehicle passes, the noise levels will be deceasing. As per the noise monitored in the area by Ultimate Envirolytical Solutions, Raipur, the values are within the permissible range of Industrial area which demonstrates that the current truck movement, if maintained unchanged in future, will keep the noise level within range in future also. As there is no any proposal to increase the traffic load hence, further impact on noise level is not anticipated.

From the aspect of Impact on Ecology - Dust may affect photosynthesis, respiration, transpiration and allow the penetration of phytotoxic gaseous pollutants. Dust from highways and roads are deposited on leaves of road side vegetation and affect by inducing changes in pH, Relative Water Content and species diversity. However, this will be reversible process as the dust on leaves will be washed out during rainy season and in case of high wind. Vegetation act as natural filters by depositing dust particles on their leaf surface, susceptible and highly exposed part of a plant and, thus, makes an important contribution in the improvement of air quality. Leaves act as pollution receptors and decrease dust load of the air.

Based on the study and observations, the following measures are already being carried out by JPL and are recommended to be continued in future also:

A. Plantation

Maintain/Protection of existing plantation/ sapling

Assessment of Impacts Due to Transportation of Coal for 4X600 MW TPP of JPL 33 Min Mec Consultancy Pvt. Ltd.

Carry out additional plantation along the traffic route as part of CSR for dust and noise control on either side of road, in consultation with villagers, where ever possible.

B. Air pollution mitigation for protection of ecology & human health

The vehicles used for transportation should be covered with tarpaulin and should be spill-proof.

The trucks to have periodic PUC certification as per manufacturer’s norms and it shall be ensured that unadulterated diesel is procured and used from authorised dealers only.

Only those vehicles having fitness certificate to be allowed to ply.

Make provision for tyre washing at unloading point within the power plant.

Local people from the habitation/ villages lying along the transportation route will be hired on daily basis to clean the road dust passing through their village.

C. Noise mitigation

No honking along the settlements stretch, which would be silent zones.

All trucks to undergo preventive maintenance as per manufacturers schedule and their silencers shall be maintained and operational at all times.

Plantation along roadside as suggested for air pollution mitigation will also act as buffer against noise propagation.

D. Safety

Installation of speed bumps near settlements to ensure slow driving

Awareness to Truck drivers & villagers through hoardings on roads regarding road safety

Contact number of crane operators along the routes shall be made available to all vehicle drivers

All trucks to carry first aid kits and drivers to be trained in provision of first aid in case of emergency
