SUMMARY The Tamil Nadu State Planning Commission (TNSPC) has taken up the task of assessing demand for developing a multi-user Greenfield port facility in Tamil Nadu and have commissioned the Madras Chamber of Commerce & Industry (MCCI) to undertake a ‘Pre-Feasibility study on Development of a Large Multi user Non Major port in Tamil Nadu’. PRE-FEASIBILITY REPORT OVERVIEW Power Generation is the primary contributor to Industrial growth of any nation. Over the last few years, Tamil Nadu has been experiencing an acute power deficit. In order to address this crucial issue, the Tamil Nadu Vision 2023 document places a very high focus on remedying this situation and fulfilling this short-fall by adding 20,000 MW of thermal power generation capacity to the State besides developing at least two LNG terminals with capacities of about 5-6 million tons per annum. As of this writing, the report has identified about 24,000 MW of planned thermal power generation proposals by private entrepreneurs in the central Tamil Nadu region. This planned capacity addition is only in the Central Tamil Nadu region and excludes any capacity additions proposed in the Northern & Southern parts of Tamil Nadu. Most of the 24,000 MW capacity addition proposed by private entrepreneurs is through development of coast based thermal power plants with a captive marine coal import facility for coal imports. Assuming that even if only 15,000 MW of the proposed 24,000 MW is added by the year 2035, the coal requirements would be about 53 Million Metric Tons Per Annum (53 MMTPA). Taking an extremely conservative view whereby even if 50% of this projected volume of 53 Million Tons required for generating 15,000 MW is to be handled, i.e. 27 Million tons per annum, there exists no suitable Port facility with adequate infrastructure in the Cuddalore – Nagapattinam belt geared to handle these projected coal volumes. Despite being a conservative estimate, the volume of coal alone required for thermal power generation has been estimated at 27 Million Tons per annum by the year 2035. In addition, coal requirements for cement & Sugar industries etc. add to this and total to an estimate of about 33 Million Tons per annum in the Cuddalore – Nagapattinam region. In its final

Pandya Dr. M. V. Ramana Murthy Prof. Dr. P.S.N. Rao Mr. Kushal Vashist February 5, 2019 Dear Sirs and Ma’am, I write to you from Citizen consumer and civic Action Group (CAG), a 33 year old ​ non-profit, non-political and professional organisation that works towards protecting citizens' rights in consumer, civic and environmental issues and promoting good governance processes including transparency, accountability, and participatory decision-making. This is with regard to an application for consideration of the Proposed Revised Master Plan Development of Kattupalli Port, by Marine Infrastructure Developer Private Limited (MIDPL) at Kattupalli, Tiruvallur District, Tamil Nadu, which is to be considered in the 38th EAC Meeting (CRZ- Infrastructure 2 Projects), on February 6, 2019. It is required of Project Proponents to consider alternate sites, when presenting a proposal. This has been enshrined in the MoEF’s guideline for a Project ​ ​ Feasibility Report, which requires it to detail ‘alternate sites to be considered, and the basis for choosing the proposed site, particularly the environmental considerations gone into it should be highlighted’. For the project in question though, alternate sites have not been considered. In fact, the consultant concedes that ‘no other site selection criterion has been considered’ for the project, since it is a strategic location with an existing draft, reliable power supply and allows for multimodal connectivity, among other things [3.1].

    2 x 515MW Imported Coal based Thermal Power Plant of M/s. Chennai Power Generation Limited in Kattupalli & Kalanji Villages, Ponneri Taluk, Thiruvallur District, Tamil Nadu State. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT 1.0 INTRODUCTION: M/s General Mediterranean Holding through its subsidiary M/s. Chennai Power Generation Limited (CPGL) proposes to install a 2 x 515 MW Thermal Power plant to be fuelled by imported coal envisaged to be brought from Indonesia, Australia, etc. The proposed Plant will be located in Kattupalli and Kalanji villages at Ponneri Taluk, Thiruvallur district, Tamil Nadu state. The plant area will cover about 319 acres including ash pond area outside the CRZ area. Besides, 23 acres within CRZ area will be used as corridor for sea water and coal conveying. The project area is a typically plain coastal area with sandy soil and sparse vegetation. The general slope of the area is from Northwest to Southeast. The Bay of Bengal is near the eastern boundary of the site and the Buckingham canal is flowing in the west This site is a part of Survey of India Topo sheet No 66 C/7, lying approximately at Latitude 13⁰ 19’ 01.47” to 13⁰ 20’ 06.89” North and Longitude 80⁰ 19’ 37.2” - 80⁰ 20’41.43” East. The site is 4km north of Ennore Port, which is 22km north of Chennai. Chennai Airport is about 50 Km from the site. Athipattu is the nearest railhead. The area is approachable from the North Chennai Power Plant (NCTP) – Ennore Port road, which branches off the Chennai – Manali – Minjur road near Vallur village.
