The above proposal was considered by the Expert Appraisal Committee-1 (Industry) in its 27th meeting held on 26th - 27th August, 2011 for prescribing TORs for undertaking detailed EIA /EMP study. Based on the information furnished and presentation made by you and your consultant, M/s CPTL Envirotech Designers & Pollution Control Consultants, Chandigarh, the 4 Bhawani Casting Pvt. Ltd., Envirotech (India), Mandi Gobindgarh Chandigarh Committee prescribed the following TORs for preparation of EIA/EMP Report as per the following TORs: 1. Executive summary of the project. 2. Photographs of the existing and proposed plant area. 3. Compliance to the conditions stipulated for existing capacity in the environmental clearance or NOC obtained from the SPCB. The testing / verification undertaken for the compliance shall be from the recognized environmental laboratory. 4. A line diagram/flow sheet for the process and EMP 5. Proposal should be submitted to the Ministry for environment clearance only after acquiring total land. Necessary documents indicating acquisition of land should be included. 6. A site location map on Indian map of 1:10, 00,000 scale followed by 1:50,000/1:25,000 scale on an A3/A2 sheet with at least next 10 Kms of terrains i.e. circle of 10 kms and further 10 kms on A3/A2 sheets with proper longitude/latitude/heights with min. 100/200 m. contours should be included. 3-D view i.e. DEM (Digital Elevation Model) for the area in 10 km radius from the proposal site. 7. Present land use should be prepared based on satellite imagery. High-resolution satellite image data having 1m-5m spatial resolution like quickbird, Ikonos, IRS P-6 pan sharpened etc. for the 10Km radius area from proposed site. The same should be used for land used/land-cover mapping of the area. 8. Location of national parks / wildlife sanctuary / reserve forests within 10 km. radius should specifically be mentioned. A map showing land use/land cover, reserved forests, wildlife sanctuaries, national parks, tiger reserve etc in 10 km of the project site. 9. A list of industries within 10 km radius of the plant area. 10. Details and classification of total land (identified and acquired) should be included. 11. Project site layout plan showing raw materials and other storage plans, bore well or water storage, aquifers (within 1 km.) dumping, waste disposal, green areas, water bodies, rivers/drainage passing through the project site should be included. 12. List of raw material required and source along with mode of transportation should be included. All the trucks for raw material and finished product transportation must be “Environmentally Compliant”. 13. Quantification & Characterization of solid /hazardous waste & its action plan for management should be included. 14. Mass balance for the raw material and products should be included. 15. Site-specific micro-meteorological data using temperature, relative humidity, hourly wind 5 Bhawani Casting Pvt. Ltd., Envirotech (India), Mandi Gobindgarh Chandigarh speed and direction and rainfall is necessary. 16. Ambient air quality at 8 locations within the study area of 10 km., aerial coverage from project site with one AAQMS in downwind direction should be carried out. 17. The suspended particulate matter present in the ambient air must be analyzed for the presence of poly-aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), i.e. Benzene soluble fraction. Chemical characterization of RSPM and incorporating of RSPM data. 18. Determination of atmospheric inversion level at the project site and assessment of ground level concentration of pollutants from the stack emission based on site-specific meteorological features.
