1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

M/s Khyber Industries Private Limited (say “KIPL”) installed and commissioned a cement plant of 100 TPD capacity with Vertical Shaft Kiln (VSK) and its integrated Limestone mine during 1987 and increased its capacity to 280 TPD before EIA Notification 2006 with investment less than Rs. 50 Crore, thus without inviting requirement for EC as per EIA Notification 1994. Khyber Cement Private Limited (say “KCPL”) installed a 400 TPD Cement Grinding Plant in 2002 adjacent to plant area of KIPL. This was with investment less than Rs. 50 Crore, thus without inviting requirement for EC by KCPL as per EIA Notification 1994. KIPL acquired the Clinker Grinding unit of 400 TPD from KCPL in 2016. KIPL continued to get Consent to Operate on regular basis from SPCB J&K. The company carried out substantial expansion to the existing plant of 280 TPD capacity (VSK) by setting up a 800 TPD Rotary Plant (RP) for which Environmental Clearance of the plant and its integrated Limestone mines was obtained vide F No J-11011/61/2008-IA II (I), dated 4th May, 2009. (Annex-I). Thus, the total capacity of the plant became1080 TPD covering 800 TPD Rotary Kiln (RP) and 280 TPD VSK. Layout of the Proposed Cement plant is attached as Figure 1.

KIPL further increased its installed capacity for VSK by 100 TPD to 380 TPD and RP by 400 TPD to 1200 TPD respectively without any prior Environmental Clearance w.e.f 01.02.2016 thus increasing the installed capacity by 500 TPD to 1580 TPD. However actual production has not increased and is within the approved capacity under EC ( Annex- II ).

Thus, these expansions led to the cement plant installed capacity increase up to 1580 TPD and the captive Tulpow limestone mine production increased to 6,71,874 TPA in 2015-16, which caused excess production over and above the granted EC as per MoEF&CC, Gol Notification dated 14.03.2017. Project Brief: Table1-1: Summary of the Project Sl.no Parameters Description 1 Identification Project falls under Category “ A” Projects and will be appraised by a special committee of project at Central Level (as per MoEF& CC, Gol Notification dated. 14.03.2017) 2 Project M/s Khyber Industries (P) Ltd.

2.3 NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY AND/OR REGION

Industrialization is the better way for growth & employment & also it is a safe strategic location for local market of western India by road and rail. The industrialization and infrastructure growth have to go hand-in-hand. Cement is major component in infrastructure growth. Keeping in view towards upcoming pace in infrastructure growth in the area and nearby state does not match the cement demand and hence new capacities have to come up concurrently. The proposed plant ensure that the supply situation in J&K is comfortable in the coming times, as growth is expected to propel demand. The cement projects planned by group would also generate immense employment opportunities and significant contribution to the state & central exchequer, improvement of socio economics of the area by way of education, vocational training, animal husbandry, improving infrastructure facilities such as roads, transport, improvement in Drinking water supply, Medical facility etc. The M/s Khyber Industries (P) Ltd. is committed to the development of the country and will put all efforts for comprehensive development of this area also as being practiced by us at existing establishments.

2.4 DEMAND-SUPPLY GAP

Optimized logistics have been a key challenge for the players in this region and low cost logistics both in term of 31 inbound for raw material and distribution cost will be the key success factor in this region. Leveraging on the

ENVIRONMENT CLEARANCE For Expansion of Integrated Cement Plant & Limestone Mines at Tulpow Khonmoh,

Srinagar, J&K of M/S Khyber Industries (P) Limited A existing railway infrastructure and utilization of low cost logistics is expected yield greater advantages. .

2.5 IMPORTS VS INDIGENOUS PRODUCTION

J&K cement market is not serviced through imported cement. The landed cost of imported Cement mainly depends on the taxes/duties levied and already representations have been made to Union Ministry to provide a level playing field to the Cement Industry. With adequate in-house capacity, the entire requirement of Cement can be met from indigenous production of Cement.

2.6 EXPORT POSSIBILITY

India, the world's second largest Cement manufacturer, currently exports two to three percent of its production and that is mainly in the form of Clinker, an input for Cement making, to neighboring countries. The countries like Indonesia, UAE, Nepal and Bangladesh now, have set up their own Grinding Units. Nepal has increased customs duty, leaving Indian exports unviable. Export is feasible based on global economic scenario, demand and meeting domestic consumption.

2.7 DOMESTIC / EXPORT MARKETS

M/s Khyber Industries (P) Ltd sells 100% of its production in J&K. With the expected growth of Infrastructure/Housing Sectors the domestic market of Cement is bound to grow. The cement produced will be sold to Domestic market.

2.8 EMPLOYMENT GENERATION (DIRECT AND INDIRECT) DUE TO THE PROJECT

a. Cement Plant: Construction Phase During Construction phase, the labors and workers were hired from nearby villages. Operation Phase: 536 persons are working in plant having 481 skilled persons. In addition, about 200 rotational persons visit the plant. Only unskilled and semi-skilled persons are hired from local villages after imparting appropriate training.

b. Limestone Mining For safe and systematic mining sufficient technical, supervisory staff is required. The no. of staffs required for mining operations are 45. There are 120 unskilled laborers. Maximum workers are employed from nearby

villages. Except these workers few persons of nearby area will also get employment as staff and supervisory staff etc. Some persons will get indirect job from the mining activities. 32

The transport of fine coal and coke are by means of separate screw pumps.

Pyro Process There is a 5 Cyclone Pre-heater with Inline Calciner, Rotary Kiln and Grate cooler. The 5 stage cyclone Pre-heater is of size 4.3 m dia in stages 1 & 2 and 4.6 m dia in stages 3 to 5.The inline calciner size is 5.2 m dia x 22 m height. The size of Kiln is 3.0 m dia x 45 m long with 3 supports. The Grate area of the great cooler is 20.16 m 2. Raw meal extracted from blending silo on a gravimetric basis is fed at the raiser duct leading to the top cyclone of Pre-heater. Material thus fed is kept in suspension raising the temperature from 35 C to 800 C and enters the calciner. Fine coal from the bin is pumped to the calciner and the raw meal temperature is further increased to 90 0-100 0 C. At this temperature, material enters the kiln and further heated by the firing done at the other end of the kiln. Fine coal from bin is fed to the kiln by burner system for burning Clinker is formed due to burning of raw material to 140 0-150 0 C. The temperature of the clinker at the discharge end of the kiln is around 1100 C and the same is dropped into grate cooler. Hot Clinker is cooled in the cooler by quenching in atmospheric air supplied by high pressure fans. 50% of the hot air generated in the cooler is drawn to the kiln by the pre-heater fan. Balance air is vented through ESP. After cooling in the grate cooler, clinker is discharged into single Deep pan conveyor and transported to clinker silo.

Venting Of Kiln Gases And Raw Mill Reverse air bag house is used for venting of hot gases from pre-heater & raw mill. Part of the kiln exit gas from pre-heater is being used for drying of raw materials in raw mill. The balance gases or the total gas from kiln circuit when the raw or coal mills are not in operation are vented through this bag house where all the dust will be collected and fed back to kiln feed system. The clean gas with less than 50 mg/Nm3 of solid particulate matter is left to the atmosphere.

Clinker Silo A RCC silo with steel roof of 25 m dia x 44 m Ht is used for storing of 15,000 Tons of clinker. A RCC tunnel below silo with 3 no openings are provided for the extraction of clinker. Flow control gate is provided for the regulated extraction of clinker. Provision is made to divert the Clinker dust is being fed to the RCC clinker dust silo of 4m dia x 16m Ht of 200 T capacity. The stored Clinker dust is being fed proportionately along with the clinker extracted from the main silo. A Fibro feeder is provided for extraction of clinker dust.

Cement Grinding Clinker from clinker silo is drawn and conveyed to cement mill hopper by means of belt conveyors. Similarly 37 gypsum is conveyed from store to respective hoppers of mill.

These materials are fed to the cement mill on gravimetric basis by weigh feeders. A closed circuit cement grinding mill of size 3.5m dia x 11m long with high efficiency separator is used for cement grinding. The capacity of mill is 45 TPH. In separator, the course materials are segregated and sent back to mill for grinding. Cement Storage And Packing One concrete silo of 6000 tons capacity is used for storing cement. This silo is provided with aeration pads. By aerating the pads, cement is extracted, which is then elevated and stored in a bin. From this bin through one rotary packer, cement is packed in 50kg bags at the rate of 150 tons/hour. The bagged cement is then transported by belt conveyors to trucks by two nos. of truck loading conveyors.

By-Products There are no by-products in this factory.

The kiln (a fine coal / coke brick-lined metal tube 3-5 metres wide and feeding 30-60 metres long) rotates about 3-5 times per minute, and the raw material flows down through progressively hotter zones venting of of the kiln towards the flame. The intense kiln gases CLINKER heat causes chemical and physical reactions that partially melt the meal into SILO clinker. There are older, much less efficient technologies, for example wet kilns into which raw material is fed as wet slurry and not as powder (as is the case in dry kilns). However, wet kilns have almost been phased out and today over 90% of European cement clinker is produced in dry kilns.

COOLING AND STORING

From the kiln, the hot clinker is cooled using large quantities of air, part of which can serve as combustion air. Coolers are essential for the creation of the clinker minerals which define the performance of the cement. 800 TPD 1200 TPD In this process, the combustion air is preheated, thereby minimising overall energy loss from the system. Clinker is usually used on site but can be transported by truck, train or ship to other grinding plants.

4.5. GEOMORPHOLOGY AND SOIL TYPES The district in general shows the conspicuous physiographic variations comprising moderately high hills, mountain ranges and alluvial tract. Nearly 50% of the area is covered by high hills characterized by hilly rugged and undulating topography. The district forms a part of hilly terrain of the Great-Himalayas and consists of parallel hill ranges. Flat alluvial terrain/Karewa table lands of late Pliocene to Pleistocene - Recent sediments occur in the flood plains of rivers and major nallahs of the district. The alluvial tract occupies the lower elevations and is located at a height of about 1600 meters above mean sea level. The general topographic slope in the northern part is towards the south, in the southern part is towards north while in the central part the master slope is towards west. The district is bounded by the Great Himalayas on the South Eastern, Northern, & North Western side, Jhelum River in the South & it extends and forms the contiguous portion of the Kashmir Valley in the West. The highest peak is 5148 m above mean sea level. There are many hill tops in the eastern part of the district with an average height of 3,000 to 4,500 m amsl. Alluvial fans are predominant feature occurring at foothills. In the Valley portion typical Karewa table lands are noticed. These table lands are flat at the top with a very gentle slope towards the valley in the periphery portion the Karewas abut against the mountains. The soils of the Kashmir Valley are broadly divided into two types viz, Hapludalfs & Ochraqualfs and the same is true for the Srinagar district also. These soils are described below:- i) Hapludalfs These soils are found on Karewa tops & uplands with a slope variation of 1-3%, These are very deep soils, well drained with moderate permeability. These soils are severely eroded resulted in the formation of gullies and ravines. These are medium to fine textural soils and the surface texture varies from clay loam to silty clay loam. The colour of 47

Srinagar, J&K of M/S Khyber Industries (P) Limited A the soils varies from Yellowish Brown to dark Brown. These soils are mostly used for cultivation of Wheat, Maize & pulses. ii) Ochraqualfs These soils are found in plain to mid upland topography. These soils are moderately fine textured with clay loam as the predominant surface texture. The extent of erosion on such soils is much less. These are dark brown to dark yellowish Brown in colour. These soils are mostly used because of their low permeability for the cultivation of Paddy, Mustard & at places Wheat. Climatic data from secondary sources. 4.6. CLIMATE The project site falls under the Temperate to Mediterranean type of climate and is characterized by mild summers and chilling winters. Due to latitudinal variation from 1,600 meters to 5,000 meters above mean sea level there is a wide variation in climatic conditions in different parts of the district experiencing a typical temperate climate in high altitude which experience snowfall and severe cold in the winter and tropical climate at low altitude. The winter commences from early November and lasts till end of March. Most of the precipitation received during this period is in the form of snow & the temperature, at times falls as low as –13 0C. In December-January the minimum temperature is generally below freezing point. The period from March to June constitutes warm summers with temperature rising upto 33 0C. Precipitation takes place in the form of rainfall as well as snow with occasional hailstorms. The average rainfall in the district is about 680 mm. About 60 to 70% of the precipitation is received in the form of snow during December to February. March to April are the months of heavy rainfall. May to September are relatively dry months.

5. PLANNING BRIEF

5.1. PLANNING CONCEPT

It is the Cement Production unit. It is already under operation for years to produce Cement. Cement is the basic raw material for construction & infrastructure development. M/s Khyber Industries Private Limited (say “KIPL”) installed and commissioned a cement plant of 100 TPD capacity with Vertical Shaft Kiln (VSK) and its integrated Limestone mine during 1987 and increased its capacity to 280 TPD before EIA Notification 2006 with investment less than Rs. 50 Crore, thus without inviting requirement for EC as per EIA Notification 1994. Khyber Cement Private Limited (say “KCPL”) installed a 400 TPD Cement Grinding Plant in 2002 adjacent to plant area of KIPL. This was with investment less than Rs. 50 Crore, thus without inviting requirement for EC by KCPL as per EIA Notification 1994. KIPL acquired the Clinker Grinding unit of 400 TPD from KCPL in 2016. KIPL continued to get Consent to Operate on regular basis from SPCB J&K. The company carried out substantial expansion to the existing plant of 280 TPD capacity (VSK) by setting up a 800 TPD Rotary Plant (RP) for which Environmental Clearance of the plant and its integrated Limestone mines was obtained vide F No J-11011/61/2008-IA II (I), dated 4th May, 2009. (Annex-I). Thus, the total capacity of the plant became1080 TPD covering 800 TPD Rotary Kiln (RP) and 280 TPD VSK.

6. PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE

6.1. INDUSTRIAL AREA (PROCESSING AREA)

There is site office at the lease area which is situated outside adjacent to the project site, rest shed, first aid centre, drinking water facility etc had been available in the site.

6.2. RESIDENTIAL AREA (NON PROCESSING AREA)

The plant has its own residential colony nearby.

6.3. GREEN BELT

Trees filter particulates and are effective as sink of pollutants. Tree also reduces noise level and regulates the oxygen balance in the area by consuming released carbon dioxide. Hence, greenbelt development shall be part of pollution control measure adopted in the open spaces in the plant area. In order to enhance land use as well as to compensate for any loss in ecology during construction, adequate plantation programme has been planned and shall be adopted with plantation of adequate number of trees. Plantation along road & plant boundary will attenuate noise level, arrest dust and improve the aesthetic environment of the surrounding area. Local species will be planted after consultation with local forest officer as per CPCB guidelines. Monocultures and alien plant species will be discouraged to the maximum possible extent. Considering the need of open space for fire fighting and safety requirement, greenbelt has been planned along the periphery in addition to small patches of green area in the unutilized open space, roadside tree plantation and grass lawns. For Cement plant around 3.21 ha will be considered for green belt development, where 963 no of trees will be planted for the first three years. In the mining area around 2.0 ha will be considered for green belt development. So around 640 trees will be planted on each year.

6.4. SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE

Sports Activity: Distribution of indoor and outdoor sports material like Ring rubber, skipping rope, Ludo, Football, Football Jersey, Volley ball, sports shoe etc are regularly supplied for the sports activity of village. 53

Nearest Railway Station: Srinagar Railway Station is about 13.0 km away from the site in WSW direction. Nearest Airport: The nearest Airport is Srinagar Airport, at a distance of 21.0 km in SSW direction. Nearest Highway: The site is well connected by road ways. The project site located at a distance of 8.2 km in SW direction form NH- 1A. Nearest Town/City: 16.0 km from the Srinagar in the direction of SW also the connected head quarter of the district

6.6. DRINKING WATER MANAGEMENT (SOURCE & SUPPLY OF WATER) The project authorities will make arrangement of drinking water for the villagers of nearby villages also.

6.7. SEWERAGE SYSTEM

Liquid Effluent Treatment Facilities: a. Construction Phase: Septic Tank and Soak Pits were provided in this to manage this effluent. b. Operation Phase: Liquid Effluent: No process effluent is generated in the plant and mines. An STP is installed for treating domestic sewage. During rains and snow fall, the entire storm water will slide down the mine surface carrying with it sediments and boulders. A retaining wall has been constructed at the foothill to intercept the sliding objects with water and snow. A garland drain with sedimentation pits has been constructed to capture storm water along the retaining wall. The storm water is collected in rain water harvesting reservoir for reuse in dry seasons.

6.8. SOLID WASTE TREATMENT FACILITIES Cement Plant Construction phase: There was generation of debris, brick bats, plaster falls, battered stone mixture, aggregate leftovers, sand leftovers, etc. The waste generated was used for building roads within plant premises.

Operation Phase: There is generation of heterogeneous type of wastes with mixture of bio-degradable and 54 non-biodegradable content. The bio-degradable content of the waste is from domestic work. The non-

Srinagar, J&K of M/S Khyber Industries (P) Limited A biodegradable content of the waste is plastic, tapes, wrappers, plastic, packaging material, thermocol, glass, ceramic, rubber, tins, etc. The bio-degradable waste is being converted to manure using Organic Waste convertor.

The recyclable waste is given to recyclers and inert is used for low land filling purposes.

Limestone Mining

As the deposit is not covered by any top soil and over burden so there is no OB and top soil disposal required.

6.9. INDUSTRIAL WASTE MANAGEMENT The main pollutant expected from the Plant will be Particulate Matter, which will be kept within emission limits. The identified sources of dust are un-loading area of clinker, gypsum, fly ash and fly ash storage silo, clinker grinding mill, cements silos and packing machines. PM 10 and PM 2.5 is considered as major air pollutants from this source. The emission from these sources, other than cement mill, would be fugitive in nature and the proposed Bag Filters provided would be adequate to control emission. During operation phase, the sources of noise pollution are grinding unit and vehicular movement. The cluster/single source may be housed in building of different dimensions made of different materials or installed in open or under sheds. Necessary PPEs (ear muffs, closed chamber) will be provided for the personnel’s working in this area. Most of the equipment structures are static, vibration effect of these will be only local, design of support and foundation will nullify the intensity of vibrations. During Construction Phase Domestic waste water shall be generated which will be sent to septic tanks. During Operational Phase domestic waste water will be treated in STP and treated sewage will be used for flushing and gardening. All the generated industrial waste will be disposed off through authorized vendors.
