Paragon Poly Resins LLP Environmental Impact Assessment Report Survey No. 782, Village : Jakhwada, Taluka : Viramgam, District : Ahmedabad. M/s. Paragon Poly Resins LLP has a total land area of 16,532 m2. Out of the stated land area approximately 5,546 m2 is green belt area (approx. 33.55 % of the total land area). Land documents such as Dastavej copy is attached as Annexure – 2 A. The unit has already applied for Non Agricultural (NA) permission and the same is attached as Annexure – 2 B. The total estimated cost of the proposed project is Rs. 9.50 Crores. Total budget allocation towards Environmental Management Facilities will be approx. Rs. 82 Lakhs. 1.2 Purpose of the EIA Report The proposed product Resin, being synthetic organic chemicals falls under Category 5(f) as stated in Environment Impact Assessment Notification Published on 14th September, 2006. Further, the location of proposed project is outside the notified industrial estate and fall in Small Scale Industrial Unit criteria as per the Notification dated 25th June 2014. Undertaking stating that unit will comply all these three conditions is attached as Annexure - 5. Hence, project proponent has to obtain the Environmental Clearance from the State Environmental Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA), Gujarat. As per the requirements of the notification, an application was submitted to on 9th August 2018 along with Form-1, Pre-Feasibility Report and draft Terms of Reference (TOR). The SEIAA has issued the TOR wide letter no. SEIAA/GUJ/TOR/5(f)/1389/2018 dated 31st December 2018 (refer Annexure – 1). Based on the TOR letter issued by the SEIAA, an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report has been prepared covering all aspects of the TOR. The purpose of the preparation of Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) report is not only to obtain Environment Clearance from State Environmental Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA), Gujarat, but also to understand the likely impacts and to take Environment Protection/Management measures during and after commissioning of the project.

Growth of the resin market is strongly correlated to construction/ remodeling activity (which accounts for over 50% of consumption), and to a lesser degree, to the automotive industry. The proposed products like different types of Resins mainly used to manufacture Laminated Sheets, paints, thickener, roofs etc. Different uses of different types of resins are shown below : Sr. Name of CAS NO.

Good quality raw materials are available at cheap rates in India, enabling the manufacturing at low cost. This increases the profit margin as compared to other players in the world. To meet the current and future market demand, the project proponent intends to start a new unit. The proposed project will contribute revenue to the Central & State exchequer in the form of applicable taxes. Indirect contribution to the Central & State exchequer will be there due to Income by way of registration of trucks, payment of road tax, income tax from individual as well as taxes from associated units. Thus, the proposed project will help the Government by paying different taxes from time to time, which is a part of revenue and thus, will help in development of economy as well as local physical infrastructure for further boosting of industrial development with sustainable approach as the industries need to maintain good environment & safety condition to get better market place. 1.5 Location of the Proposed Project and Siting Criteria The proposed project is to be located at Survey No.: 782, Village: Jakhwada, Taluka: Viramgam, District: Ahmedabad, Gujarat. It is situated at Latitude: 23° 4' 13.09" N and Longitude: 72° 8' 44.72"E. Nearest major city is Viramgam which is about 9.50 km far from the project site in WNW direction. National Highway 947/ State Highway SH - 17 is approx. 1.32 km away from the project site in North direction.

While siting industries, care is taken to minimize the adverse impact of the industries on immediate neighborhood as well as distant places. Some of the natural life sustaining systems and some specific land uses are sensitive to T. R. Associates (Ahmedabad) Chapter-1: Introduction NABET Accredited 1.7 M/s.
