Present use of land is Industrial.
Some of the units are already in
operation/ implemented and some
are under implementation. The status
of implementation has been specified
in Page # 1 of Form-1. There are
certainly some topographical changes
in the site due to implementation of
the units under expansion.
Existing land is more or less flat
without many undulations. Not much
of plantation in the area earmarked
for expansion. Hence no clearance of
vegetation
required
during
construction of the expansion units.
However as a part of greenbelt
development, vegetation is being
developed in the Plant premises.
Present use of land is already
converted for the industrial purpose.
Moreover extensive greenbelt will be
developed within the plant premises.

Investigations have been carried out
for soil for already implemented units
in the area earmarked for expansion
project activity along with water
analysis.
Construction work has been taken up
for some of the units for which E.C.
already accorded by honourable
Ministry and the construction for the
remaining units will be taken up after
obtaining the extension of validity of
Environmental clearance from MoEF
and NOC from CECB.
No demolition has been involved for
expansion
units
already
implemented/under implementation.
Similarly no demolition work will be
involved for un implemented units.
Construction workers are being taken
from
local
areas
only
for
implementation of expansion units.
Hence no housing is proposed for
construction workers.
Most of the structures in the
expansion project which have been
implemented/under implementation
are above the ground. Structures in
the expansion project which are not
implemented will also be above the
ground. However excavations are
involved for foundations pertaining to
expansion units. Excess cut will be
used for landfill.
No mining and tunneling are involved
for units pertaining to expansion
project
which
have
been
implemented/under implementation.
Similarly no mining or tunneling will
be involved in the unimplemented
expansion units.
No reclamation works are involved for
units pertaining to expansion project
which have been implemented/under
implementation.
Similarly
no
reclamation works will be involved in
the unimplemented expansion units.
No dredging works are involved for
units pertaining to expansion project

The Sponge iron produced is melted
in Induction furnaces with concast to
produce Billets and these Billets will
be taken to a reheating furnace to
produce TMT bars/structural steels.
Ferro alloy unit will be established to
manufacture Si-Mn, Fe-Mn and Fe-Si
using Manganese ore, Quartz, pet
Coke, etc. as raw materials in
Submerged Electric Arc Furnaces.

Power will be generated by utilization
of hot waste flue gases from the kilns.
The dolochar from sponge iron will be
utilized in the FBC Boiler as fuels to
generate power.
Sheds have been constructed for
storage of some of the raw materials.
Other raw materials will be stored in
storage yards and products.
There is no effluent generation from
the process & cooling of Sponge iron
units which have been implemented
and in operation in the expansion
project.
In
the
remaining
unimplemented units of DRI kilns,
Induction furnaces, Rolled products &
Ferro alloys also closed circuit cooling
system will be adopted in the
expansion project.
Effluent from power plant such as
boiler blow down, DM Plant
regeneration will have pH between
9.5 and 10.5. Hence a neutralization
tank will be constructed for
neutralizing the boiler blow down &
DM plant regeneration water After

neutralization these two effluent
streams will be mixed in a Central
Monitoring Basin (CMB). The treated
effluent will be used for dust
suppression
and
Green
belt
development within the premises.
No effluent will be let out of the plant
premises. Hence Zero discharge
concept will be implemented in the
proposed project. Sanitary waste
water will be treated in Septic tank
followed by soak pit.
All the solid wastes generated from
the proposed project will be
reused/disposed as per CPCB norms
only.
Slag
generated
during
the
manufacturing of the Billets will be
crushed and after recovery of iron the
inert material will be used as landfill.
Slag from Ferro Alloys will be
reused/used in CI foundries/used in
road construction.

There has been a marginal increase in
traffic volume during construction of
the expansion units for transportation
of construction materials. During
operation of the plant the raw
materials will be brought by rail upto
the nearest railway facility and from
there it will be brought upto the site
by road in covered trucks. The existing
roads can handle this additional
increase in vehicular traffic. Hence
there will not be any adverse impact
on road traffic/rail traffic due to the
proposed expansion project.

No
HFO/LDO will be stored in designated
ha za rdous ma teri a l s

as per OISD norms. Good housing
practices will be adopted to prevent
any spillages. Hence there will not be
any
adverse impact on the

closed circuit cooling
system is proposed to be adopted in
the proposed project. Hence no
waste water generation from the
proposed project.
Effluent from power plant such as
boiler blow down, DM Plant
regeneration will have pH between
9.5 and 10.5. Hence a neutralization
tank will be constructed for
neutralizing the boiler blow down &
DM plant regeneration water After
neutralization these two effluent
streams will be mixed in a Central
Monitoring Basin (CMB). The treated
effluent will be used for dust
suppression
and
