Page | 4 (II) ACTIVITY 1. Construction, operation or decommissioning of the Project involving actions, which will cause physical changes in the locality (topography, land use, changes in water bodies, etc.) Details thereof (with approximate quantities S.No. Information/Checklist confirmation Yes/No /rates, wherever possible) with source of information data 1.1 Permanent or temporary change in land Yes Present use of land is Industrial. Existing use, land cover or topography including plant is already under operation and part of increase in intensity of land use (with the expansion project has been respect to local land use plan) implemented and is under operation. Some topographical changes have occurred due to the excavations, construction activities pertaining to the existing and expansion units under implementation. Hence there is no adverse significant impact due to the change in land use pattern due to the expansion project activities. 1.2 Clearance of existing land, vegetation No Part of the expansion project was and buildings? implemented in the vacant area available in the existing plant premises. Unimplemented expansion project activities will be taken up in the vacant area available. However as a part of greenbelt development, 85 acres of Greenbelt (including expansion project) has been developed in the Plant premises. 1.3 Creation of new land uses? Yes Present use of land is already converted for the industrial purpose. 1.4 Pre-construction investigations e.g. No Investigations have been carried out for soil bore houses, soil testing? and water in the area where construction of the expansion project is planned 1.5 Construction works? Yes Construction activities have been completed only part of the expansion project planned. Keeping in view of improvement in market scenario for some of our products, we are planning to take up construction activities pertaining to unimplemented units after obtaining extension of Environmental Clearance. Page | 5 All necessary precautions have been taken to prevent dust pollution during construction of existing project and similar practice will be carried out during construction of unimplemented expansion project activities. 1.6 Demolition works? No No demolition work is involved for implementing the remaining expansion project activities as it will be taken up in the vacant area available in the site premises 1.7 Temporary sites used for construction No Construction workers will be taken from works or housing of construction local areas and from other areas. Temporary workers? Labor colony housing will be envisaged for non-local construction workers 1.8 Above ground buildings, structures or Yes Most of the structures in remaining earthworks including linear structures, expansion project activities will be above cut and fill or excavations the ground. However excavations are involved for foundations in construction and cut will be used for filling within the site. 1.9 Underground works including mining or No No mining and tunneling is involved in tunneling? remaining expansion project activities 1.10 Reclamation works? No No reclamation works are envisaged in remaining expansion project activities 1.11 Dredging? No No dredging activity is involved in remaining expansion project activities 1.12 Offshore structures ? No No offshore structures are envisaged in remaining expansion project activities 1.13 Production and manufacturing Yes The detailed process description of all units processes? is attached as Annexure (b). 1.14 Facilities for storage of goods or Yes Raw materials such as iron ore, coke, materials? Limestone and Dolomite are being stored in open yards. Quartz and Manganese is being stored in closed shed. Fines generated will be stored in silos only. Hence there will not be any adverse impact on environment due to the proposed expansion. 1.15 Facilities for treatment or disposal of Yes There will be no effluent generation in the solid waste or liquid effluents? Sinter plant, Cement plant and Annealing furnaces, as closed circuit cooling system will be adopted.
