POINTWISE COMPLIANCE AGAINST THE OBSERVATIONS OF THE EAC ADS – 1 : Letter of member secretory to MoEF regarding Public hearing is not provided or enclosed. Submission / status of compliance : Copy of the letter vide no. BO/JD(WPC)/PH/B-299831-FTS-0132 dated 31/08/2020 from MPCB, Mumbai addressed to MoEF & CC, New Delhi regarding submission of Public Hearing proceedings is placed below for ready reference. ADS - 2 : PP shall justify the baseline monitoring conducted during October, 2019 to 15th January, 2020 and then PH was conducted on 16th January, 2020. Submission / status of compliance : The subject mine under consideration, is an operating mine having valid EC (granted vide letter no. J- 11015/54/2006-IA-II (A) dated 26.11.2015) for 2.00 MTPA capacity in a mine lease area of 614.69 ha which is now being proposed for expansion in production capacity only as Phase - I (from 2.00 MTPA to 3.50 MTPA). As mandated under EIA Notification, 2006, Terms of Reference (ToR) for the proposed expansion has been secured from MoEF & CC vide its letter no. J-11015/54/2006-IA-II(M) pt.file dated 7th November, 2019. During the presentation, for grant of the aforesaid ToR, in 48th EAC meeting held on 04.10.2019, the PP apprised the EAC regarding the baseline data generated during the period April 2019 to June 2019 at six locations. The recorded data was found within the permissible limits. It may be mentioned here that, this period in specific reference to this region is worst /near to worst case scenario so far as ambient air quality is concerned with peak temperature and minimum humidity. It may be worthwhile to mention here that, the same has also been recorded in the minutes of 48th EAC at 48.19.2. (xxvi). Quote: “ (xxvi) Baseline for Ambient Air Quality have been generated during April 2019 to June 2019 in the study area. The results have been found to be within prescribed limits” :unquote The same data as presented before the EAC has been incorporated in the EIA – EMP, prepared and presented at Public Hearing. It may be further mentioned that, the EAC noted the submission of PP and advised further for 4- 5 monitoring stations in the downwind areas which are to be included in the air quality monitoring. As per the aforesaid directives of EAC as recorded, additional monitoring stations in the downwind (5 Nos.) were selected and fresh ambient air quality data was generated in baseline frequency during October, 2019 to January 15, 2020. So far as this season is concerned (post - monsoon), this period is quite comfortable w.r.t. pre - monsoon season indicated in previous paragraph. From the above, it is concluded that, Public Hearing document (draft EIA-EMP) is already having valid baseline data as required and final EIA- EMP submitted to MOEF&CC is having, in addition to original baseline (April 2019-June 2019), the data generated during October 2019 to 15th January, 2020 as directed by EAC for air quality modelling. ADS – 3 : Permission of CGWA is still pending since 2017. Only application has been done however no NOC obtained. Submission / status of compliance : It is most humbly submitted that, the said issue regarding CGWA NOC for abstraction of ground water, was clarified in the 56th EAC meeting held on 30th June, 2020 and the same has been noted in the approved minutes.

Submission / status of compliance : As far as R&R is concerned w.r.t. Expansion of Makardhokra- I Opencast Mine (Phase -I), it may be mentioned that, no rehabilitation envisaged in Phase - I of the Project. The same statement has been given at the time ToR presentation and accordingly recorded in ToR. Regarding, the query of “at the end it mentions that R&R is yet to start”, it is most humbly submitted that in the online PARIVESH portal there is no drop- down option as “ not required”. Accordingly with the available options, the best possible option relevant to “0” villages has been chosen. Regarding the clarification in mine lease area, it is submitted that, project for proposed expansion has been conceived and planned in two phases viz. Phase - I & II. Accordingly, the Mining Plan has been prepared and approval of WCL Board has been secured for Phase – I & Phase – II. The land area involved in Phase - I is 614.69 ha and including Phase - II it will go up to 660.02 ha.

Rajapaksha1, C. de Alwis1 1Butterfly Conservation Society of Sri Lanka, 762/A, Yatihena, Malwana, Sri Lanka 2 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Larval food plants (LFPs) of Sri Lankan butterflies are poorly documented in the historical literature and there is a great need to identify LFPs in conservation perspectives. Therefore, the current study was designed and carried out during the past decade. A list of LFPs for 207 butterfly species (Super family Papilionoidea) of Sri Lanka is presented based on local studies and includes 785 plant-butterfly combinations and 480 plant species. Many of these combinations are reported for the first time in Sri Lanka. The impact of introducing new plants on the dynamics of abundance and distribution of butterflies, the possibility of butterflies being pests on crops, and observations of LFPs of rare butterfly species, are discussed. This information is crucial for the conservation management of the butterfly fauna in Sri Lanka. Key words: conservation, crops, larval food plants (LFPs), pests, plant-butterfly combination.

The characteristics of five different cultivars of the jujube fruit have been evaluated and classified into four different maturation stages according to the color of the peel, ranging from green in its most immature stage, to white, yellow, and red in its last, more mature stage. This is due in part to the amount of carotenoids and chlorophylls studied, which vary as the fruit matures. The cultivars ‘GAL-E’ and ‘GAL-T’ are the largest in size and weight, followed by ‘MSI’, ‘PSI’, and ‘DAT’, which are the smallest cultivars. The content of phenolic compounds was also analyzed. The antioxidant activity, which was studied by different methods, 2,20-azino-bis(3- ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), showed the highest activity in stages 3 and 4 of jujube fruit.

They are a home to hundreds and thousands of various flora and fauna. A wide variety of species thrive in such Wildlife Sanctuaries. With the ever growing cement – jungle, it is of utmost importance to protect and conserve wildlife and give them their own, natural space to survive Wildlife Sanctuaries are established by IUCN category II protected areas. A wildlife sanctuary is a place of refuge where abused, injured, endangered animals live in peace and dignity. Senchal Game Sanctuary. Established in 1915 is the oldest of such sanctuaries in India. Chal Batohi, in Gujarat is the largest Wildlife Sanctuary in India. The conservative measures taken by the Indian Government for the conservation of Tigers was awarded by a 30% rise in the number of tigers in 2015. According to the Red Data Book of International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), there are 47 critically endangered species in India. DO YOU KNOW? Wildlife sanctuaries in India are established by IUCN category II protected areas. India has 537 wildlife sanctuaries referred to as wildlife sanctuaries category IV protected areas. Among these, the 50 tiger reserves are governed by Project Tiger, and are of special significance in the conservation of the tiger. Some wildlife sanctuaries in India are specifically named bird sanctuary, e.g., Keoladeo National Park before attaining National Park status.
