R&D - Kg/Month 10.00 Total MT/Month • This is a new unit proposes for manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Chemical as tabulated below: • The project falls underCategory B of project activity 5(f) asper the schedule of EIA Notification 2006. • During the meeting dated 13/06/2019, technical presentation made during the meeting by project proponent. • Salient features of the project including Water, Air and Hazardous waste management (Revised): • During the meeting, the project was appraised based on the information furnished in the EIA Report, and details presented during the meeting. • The baseline environmental quality has been assessed for various components of the environment viz. air, noise, water, biological and socioeconomic aspect. The baseline environmental study has been conducted for the study area of 10 km radial distance from project site for the period October 2018 to December 2018. Ambient Air Quality monitoring was carried out for PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx, NH3, Cl2,O3,Pb, As, Ni, CO and VOC at Nine locations, including the project site. Values conform to the prescribed standards for Ambient Air Quality. The incremental Ground Level Concentration (GLC) has been computed using ISCST – 3 model. The resultant concentrations are within the NAAQS. The modeling study proved that the air emissions from the proposed plant would not affect the ambient air quality of the region in any significant manner. The ambient air quality around the proposed project site will remain within the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). • Risk assessment including prediction of the worst-case scenario and maximum credible accident scenarios has been carried out. The detail proposed safeguard measures including On-Site / Off-Site Emergency Plan has been covered in the RA report. • During SEAC meeting, committee noted that the proposal is for Greenfield Project in GIDC- Saykha. PP mentioned that all the effluent generated will be treated in primary ETP and primary treated effluent further treated in solvent stripper followed by in-house spray dryer for further treatment and disposal. Committee asked for worst case scenario of effluent generation for proposed project to which PP could not explained satisfactorily. 554 th meeting of SEAC-Gujarat, dated 01.10.2019 Page 4 of 215 • Committee noted that PP has not addressed ToR No. 1 and ToR No. 2 satisfactorily. • Committee insisted for revised details regarding safety measures and storage of Cl2 and flameproof fitting for solvents handling. Committee insisted for revised need based CER activities as per Greenfield project cost and adequacy of recovery of methanol more than 96.9%.Committee insisted for revised hazardous waste matrix as sodium hydrogen sulphide generation from scrubber is not match with process emission details and scrubbing media and MoU for selling of hazardous waste to Rule – 9 permission unit. • Committee deliberated on ambient air baseline data and surface water data for proposed project. PP has addressed in details regarding for baseline data of proposed project. • After deliberation, SEAC unanimously decided to consider the proposal after submission of the following details. 1) Readdress water balance diagram considering worst case scenario of effluent for proposed project and adequacy with technical justification regarding proposed products in which water goes along with product 2) Readdress specific ToR no-1 regarding adequacy of in-house spray drying of effluent and its impact on surrounding area Environment and human health with technical justification and characteristic of inlet effluent to spray dryer and outlet characteristic of spray dryer gaseous emission. 3) Readdress specific ToR no-2 with technical justification regarding total reuse of spent solvent, Isopropyl alcohol, acetic acid and liquor Ammonia within plant premises. 4) Revised details regarding safety measures and storage of Cl2 and flameproof fitting for solvents handling and revised need based CER activities with budgetary provision for next five years as per Greenfield project cost. 5) Submit MoU with end users who are having permission under Rule 9 to purchase the hazardous waste and revised hazardous waste matrix with justification regarding sodium hydrogen sulphide generation from scrubber. 6) Technical justification regarding methanol recovery more than 96.9%. • Project proponent made presentation for the above mentioned query dated 05/09/2019 for the above mentioned points. • PP presented replied as below: 1) PP presented revised water balance diagram considering worst case scenario of effluent for proposed project and adequacy with technical justification regarding proposed products in which water goes along with Product however there is still some mistakes observed in water balance diagram. 2) PP presented specific ToR no - 1 regarding adequacy of in-house spray drying of effluent and its impact on surrounding area Environment and human health with technical justification and characteristic of
