No. 0 REFINERY AND PETROCHEMICAL COMPLEX II of XXI 1.0 INTRODUCTION A 9.0 MMTPA grass-root Refinery cum Petrochemical Complex (Rajasthan Refinery Project, RRP) has been proposed in Pachpadra, Barmer District of Rajasthan by M/s HPCL Rajasthan Refinery Limited (HRRL), a joint venture company between Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) and Govt. of Rajasthan. The Complex will be designed with refinery capacity 9.0 MMTPA to process 1.5 MMTPA Rajasthan Crude + 7.5 MMTPA Arab mix crude for First 8 years and from 9th year onwards Arab mix crude of 9 MMTPA. The cost of the project is Rs. 43129 Crores. The proposed site is spread over 4400.40 acres encompasses the villages Sajjiyali Roopji Kanthavad, Sambhara, Pachpadra Tehsil, District: Barmer, Rajasthan for Refinery cum Petrochemical Complex and Marketing Terminal and additional 413.26 acres is reserved for township and reservoir which will be located about 2.5 km from the complex. The entire area is sandy with flat terrain without any major undulations. The site will be accessible from National Highway NH-112 which connects Jodhpur to Barmer. NH-112 is about 0.5 km from the plot of proposed refinery cum petrochemical complex. The nearest railway station is Balotra Station about 12 km and the nearest airport is Jodhpur airport about 100 km from site. The proposed site has been identified by Government of Rajasthan (GoR) and has signed MoU with HPCL for the same and is also in close proximity to the Mangla fields. The proposed site comprising few villages (Sajiyali Roopji Kanthavad and Sambhara) will be used for Refinery cum Petrochemical complex. There are no wild life corridors, archaeological monuments, places of tourist interests and Defence installations within the study area. No Reserved forest, National park, Wildlife Sanctuary and Tiger Reserves etc. exists within 10-km radius study area. As per the Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) Notification dated 14th September 2006, the proposed project falls under ‘Category A’, listed at S.No. 4(a) & 5(c), requires preparation of EIA & RA Report to obtain Environmental Clearance (EC) from the Central Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC), MoEFCC, New Delhi. The proposal has been discussed during the meeting of the Expert Appraisal Committee (Industry) held on July 29-31, 2013 and approved ToR have been issued by MoEF vide F.No. J-11011/87/2013- IAII (I) dated September 27, 2013. Further public hearing was held on 30th May 2014 and final report after incorporating proceedings of public hearing was submitted on 15th September 2014. The final EIA report was discussed during the meeting held on 18th February 2015 and MoEFCC sought additional information. The replies were provided on 22/05/2017. The replies were discussed during the 24th Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC) meeting held on 14-16th June 2017 and advised to submit revised EIA based on the changes in project configuration. MoEFCC directed to use the baseline data collected during October-December 2013 and Public Hearing conducted on 30th May 2014. 1.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION RRP is being proposed with the basis of achieving energy efficiency, environment friendly, high distillate yielding refinery cum petrochemical complex that will be producing clean fuels and petrochemicals. Captive generation of all utilities including power is considered for meeting the total utility requirement of the refinery-cum-petrochemical complex. The raw water shall be sourced from the Indira Gandhi (IG) Canal which shall be supplied through a 46" raw water pipeline of approx. 200 km length. The feed receipt/product dispatch facilities considered include Mangala Crude to be received from the Mangala Crude Facility, Arab Mix Crude (Imported Crude) with SPM/COT facilities for import of crude. New Natural Gas Pipeline is considered for natural gas from Cairn India’s Rageshwari Gas Terminal to the proposed refinery location.

No. 0 REFINERY AND PETROCHEMICAL COMPLEX III of XXI For meeting the internal fuel requirement of the refinery complex, treated fuel gas will be the primary fuel supplemented by internally generated fuel oil and natural gas. Infrastructure facilities such as roads and buildings, water supply and public health (including ETP), work shop, etc will be developed. Safety facilities like flare system, fire water system, safe guard system, machine monitoring system, gas detectors etc. with suitable design capacities will be provided.

Studies have been carried out within in 10-km radius from proposed project for soil quality, ambient air quality, water quality, noise level monitoring studies, flora and fauna studies and demography. The scope of the present study is in line with the Terms of References (ToR) issued by EAC, MoEF, New Delhi vide letter no. F. No. J-11011/ 87/2013-IA II (I) dated September 27, 2013. 1.2.1 Air Environment The region represents mainly rural environment and few sampling locations fall in moderate commercial and vehicular activities. The ambient air quality within 10-km radius around the proposed site was assessed at 11 locations. The villages are located quite far from the proposed project site. The average PM10 concentrations at all the locations varied in the range of 59-87 µg/m3, which represents background concentrations of rural environment and could be attributed to windblown soil dust and unpaved roads in the region.
