Item No. 7.2 Dikchu HEP 96 MW (3x32 MW) in North & East Sikkim districts of Sikkim by M/ s Sneha Kinetic Power Private Ltd.• Amendment inEnvironmental Clearance The Project Proponent (PP) and the Consultant, M/ s R.S. Environ link Technologies Pvt. Ltd, Gurgaon, made a detailed presentation of the project and inter-alia, provided the following information:

For Dikchu HEP (96 MW) in North &East Sikkim Districts of Sikkim, environmental clearance (EC) has been accorded on 01.04.2008 as per EIA Notification, 1994 and 2006. The EC is valid for 10 years. The FC clearance has been obtained on 09.02.2010 and 21.03.2013. As per the records, about 97% of the construction works have already been completed till now.

The PP submitted an application during August, 2016 mentioning that some project parameters have been changed during the construction phase, i.e. after getting EC in 2008 and requested the Ministry for an amendment in EC. The PP also mentioned that in the EC letter dated O 1.04.2008, a condition has been stipulated at SL No. 7 i.e. "in case of any change in the scope of the project, then the project would require a fresh appraisal' and hence an amendment is requested in the EC. Thereafter, the Ministry requested PP to submit a detailed report regarding changes and requested Regional Office, MoEF& CC, Shillong to submit the latest status of compliance of the EC conditions vide Circular dated 30.05.2012. The Ministry again wrote to Regional Office, MoEF, Shillong to inspect the site and submit a latest factual report including para-wise compliance to EC conditions, changes in the scope

4 of work, etc. The major details of project and report of RO, Shillong are presented in the Table in next page:

Head Ori~inal layout Response of PP Reported by RO Location - 1 km u / s of the -3 km u/ s of the -150 m d/ s ofthe confluence of confluence of confluence of Rate Dikchuwith Teesta Dikchu river with Chu and Bakchachu nver Linzdok Installed Capacity 96 MW (3x32 MW) 96 MW (2x48 MW) 96 MW (2x48 MW) Dam height 36m 36m 35m HRT 5.7 km x 4 m ct> 5.46 km x 4.8 m 0 5.492 km x 4.8 m

The RO, Shillong has submitted (i) monitoring report carried out during 12- 13.05.2016 on the status of compliance of EC conditions, (ii) Multi-disciplinary Committee Report and (iii) changes in HRT, location of Powerhouse, etc. The RO, Shillong, among other things, mentioned the following:

1. The muck generation quantity is much beyond the EC quantity. Further, consolidation and compaction of dumps have not been done. The debris is finding ways into the river due to poor strength of retaining wall. And thus, no reclamation of muck disposal areas. 11. Fisheries Management Plan for the project remains unattended. During meeting of Multidisciplinary Committee, the officials of the State Fisheries Department informed that they could take up this work. m. Forest clearance has been obtained for 9.5 ha forestland, which is beyond 7. 794 ha area as originally planned. rv. The status on raising plantation in 15.6 ha area along with details of site, species planted, etc. is yet to be submitted to the RO, Shillong including development of green belt in 39.1 ha of the project area along the network of approach of the reservoir. v. In-situ/ ex-situ conservation of orchids and rehabilitation of the species along the road from Rangpoo to Ranipool has not yet been initiated as yet. vi. The amenities and facilities provided to workers are very poor. Better facilities are required to modernize the kitchen, dining area, drinking water, etc. vu. The dumping sites need to be completely reclaimed to avoid soil and sediment run off from dumps. A reclamation plan with time bound implementation schedule is required to be prepared. viii. Sufficient funds to be provided for reclamation of all the 6 dumping sites.

5 Vide CAG Report No. 39 of 2016, it has also been mentioned that the muck is being dumped at 6 locations in North and South Districts, instead at 4 locations as proposed in the EMP.

After deliberations and considering all the facts of the project as presented by the PP, the EAC noted that the minor changes in the project parameters but these changes have not materially changed the basic configuration, scope, etc. Thus, the EAC recommended that the changes made by the PP, shall be amended in the EC accordingly.

Item No. 7.3 Construction of additional Spillway of Hirakud Dam in Odisha by WRD, Government of Odisha - Consideration of applicability of EIA Notification/ fresh Scoping clearance

The Project Proponent (PP) made a presentation of the project and inier-alia, provided the following information:

The PP applied for applicability of EIA Notification, 2006 to the proposed project and thereby consideration of ToR/scoping clearance by the EAC, if any, on onlinl0.08.2017 in the website of the Ministry. The PP informed that an additional Spillway of Hirakud Dam built across river Mahanadi near Sambalpur, Odisha is one of the earliest major multi-purpose river valley projects of India, which was completed in 1957.Spanning an area of 743 km2 when full, the reservoir is the most important water infrastructure of the state contributing water for generating 307.5 MW of hydropower, irrigating 2,64,478 ha of Culturable Command Area annually in Bargarh, Bolangir and Subarnapur Districts; and providing flood protection to 9,500 km-' of Mahanadi Delta, which is thickly populated. Total length of the dam and dykes is 25.8 km. The length of the main dam is 4,800 m with two spillways. The left spillway has 40 sluice gates and 21 crest gates. The right spillway has 24sluice gates and 13 crest gates. The total discharging capacity of both the spillways is42,450 m3/s (15 lakh cusec). Taking into account of the operational constraint of few gates the effective discharge is about 36,806 m3/s (13 lakh cusec). The Central Water Commission (CWC) in 1997, reassessed the Inflow Design Flood with up to date data. The revised design flood was computed as 69,632 m-' / s(24.5 lakh cusec). In order to safely release the inflow design flood, the CWC advised to construct additional spillways at suitable locations. A joint expert team comprising of CWC, Egis-consultants of DRIP and World Bank visited Hirakud Dam site in March, 2015 to finalize the proposed feasible locations for the additional spillway. The conclusive recommendation for the best alternatives is (l)At the left bank in the 2nctsaddle at left of Gandhi hillock with 5 nos. of spillway gates to discharge 3 lakh cusecs of flood water into the river Mahanadi just downstream of left spillway and (2) Another at 13, 100 ft. of right dyke with 8 nos. of spillway gates to discharge 4 lakh cusec flood water through a spill channel to Jhanijore Nallah which meets river Mahanadi near Dhama, downstream of Sambalpur Town. The option (1) will be taken up in the first phase for which the World Bank has agreed for necessary funding. The Govt. of Odisha has administratively approved the project. The layout of the spillway and spill channel has been finalized. The Ministry of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation, Government of India is closely monitoring the progress of the project, as it is related to the safety of the prestigious Hirakud dam.
