ENVIRONMENT CLEARANCE For Expansion of Integrated Cement Plant & Limestone Mines at Tulpow Khonmoh, Srinagar, J&K of M/S Khyber Industries (P) Limited A 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY M/s Khyber Industries Private Limited (say “KIPL”) installed and commissioned a cement plant of 100 TPD capacity with Vertical Shaft Kiln (VSK) and its integrated Limestone mine during 1987 and increased its capacity to 280 TPD before EIA Notification 2006 with investment less than Rs. 50 Crore, thus without inviting requirement for EC as per EIA Notification 1994. Khyber Cement Private Limited (say “KCPL”) installed a 400 TPD Cement Grinding Plant in 2002 adjacent to plant area of KIPL. This was with investment less than Rs. 50 Crore, thus without inviting requirement for EC by KCPL as per EIA Notification 1994. KIPL acquired the Clinker Grinding unit of 400 TPD from KCPL in 2016. KIPL continued to get Consent to Operate on regular basis from SPCB J&K. The company carried out substantial expansion to the existing plant of 280 TPD capacity (VSK) by setting up a 800 TPD Rotary Plant (RP) for which Environmental Clearance of the plant and its integrated Limestone mines was obtained vide F No J-11011/61/2008-IA II (I), dated 4th May, 2009. (Annex-I). Thus, the total capacity of the plant became1080 TPD covering 800 TPD Rotary Kiln (RP) and 280 TPD VSK. Layout of the Proposed Cement plant is attached as Figure 1. KIPL further increased its installed capacity for VSK by 100 TPD to 380 TPD and RP by 400 TPD to 1200 TPD respectively without any prior Environmental Clearance w.e.f 01.02.2016 thus increasing the installed capacity by 500 TPD to 1580 TPD. However actual production has not increased and is within the approved capacity under EC ( Annex- II ). For the Tulpow mine, peak annual production was 6, 71,874 TPA in 2015-16, thus excess production was 2, 91,874 TPA. The average production was 5,10,692 TPA from 2009 to 2017 resulting in avg. excess production of 1,30,692 TPA from Tulpow Mines. Sekinar Mine Production is within the prescribed limits. Thus, these expansions led to the cement plant installed capacity increase up to 1580 TPD and the captive Tulpow limestone mine production increased to 6,71,874 TPA in 2015-16, which caused excess production over and above the granted EC as per MoEF&CC, Gol Notification dated 14.03.2017. Project Brief: Table1-1: Summary of the Project Sl.no Parameters Description 1 Identification Project falls under Category “ A” Projects and will be appraised by a special committee of project at Central Level (as per MoEF& CC, Gol Notification dated. 14.03.2017) 2 Project M/s Khyber Industries (P) Ltd.

This resulted in increase in capacity by 500 TPD for the Cement Plant without Environmental Clearance. (B) Limestone Mines Total capacity: For the Tulpow mine, peak annual production was 6,71,874 TPA in 2015-16, thus excess production was 2,91,874 TPA. The average production was 5,10,692 TPA from 2009 to 2017 resulting in AVG. EXCESS PRODUCTION OF 1,30,692 TPA from Tulpow Mines. Sekinar Mine Production is within the prescribed limits. 5 Total Plot Area Cement Plant: Area: 21.25 ha Limestone Mines: Tulpow Limestone Mine: Total Area: 77.96ha Sekinar Khunmoh Limestone Mine: Total Area: 14.93ha 6 Category of “A ” and is to be appraised by a special committee at Central level as per Mo EF & CC, the project Gol Notification dated 14.03.2017 7 Location The Cement Plant of M/S Khyber Industries (P) Limited is located in at Tulpow, Village - Khunmow, Tehsil – Pantha chowk, District – Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir.

For domestic need, the tube-well already existing at plant area is being used. The break-up of water requirement is as follows: Total water requirement for the project is 64.3.KLD. Breakup is as follows: For Cement Plant: The daily consumption of water during operation will be 31.1 KLD. The break-up of water requirement is as follows: Drinking water and other factory uses: 24.7 KLD for plant Green Belt: 6.4 KLD Total: 31.1 KLD For Lime Stone Mining: The daily consumption of water during operation will be 33.2 KLD covering: Domestic needs which includes @ 0.135 KLD of water needed for drinking purpose (3 litre per person as per Mine rules, 1955): 5.6 KLD Dust suppression: 4.2 KLD Plantation assuming for the first 3 years: 23.4 KLD Total: 33.2 KLD The plant will have ‘zero effluent discharge’ as the entire treated sewage of 21 KLD will be used for flushing and green belt. Thus the fresh water intake will reduce to 43.3 KLD from 64.3 KLD. 24 10 Source of Source of water is from water harvesting reserv oir for dust suppression and plantation Page PROJECT PROPONENT : ENVIRONMENT CONSULTANT : GREENCINDIA M/s Khyber Industries (P) Ltd.
