2 Compliance by CGPL with the Environmental, Health &

Safety Requirements

2.1 Compliance to IFC & ADB Requirements

This section in brief outlines the environmental performance of the project for the period FY

2014-15 in consistent with the IFC Performance Standards & EHS Guidelines, ADB

Summary Environmental Impact Assessment including Environmental Management Plan

developed for the project. The assessment and findings matrix has been presented in Table 1

for necessary reference.

A. Environmental Performance

2.1.1 Environment Organization Structure & Capacity Building

CGPL has engaged a Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) in May’14 to drive onsite

Environment & Social initiatives and drive overall performance. Both CSR and Environment

Department is currently reporting to the CSO. Additional resource in the form of a Site

Environmental Professional has been recruited in Aug’14.

Further CGPL also has in place a fully equipped environmental laboratory to perform

monitoring of pollutants in flue gas and ambient air and recording of meteorological

data. Additionally both manual and online monitoring of cooling water temperature is being

undertaken at various stretches along the outfall channel including the point of discharge.

2.1.2 Integrated Management System (IMS) Development

CGPL in coordination with an external consultant has prepared the IMS and has

obtained certification for its Integrated Management System (IMS) in July 2014. The

incorporation of applicable legal (CTO, EC etc) and funding agency requirements (IFC

Performance Standards, IFC EHS Guidelines, etc.) in the legal register and their references in

the relevant environmental procedures and SOP is completed to larger extent.

2.1.3 Consent Management

CGPL is assessed to possess valid environmental permits/consents for project operations,

hazardous and biomedical waste management from Gujarat Pollution Control Board, MoEF

and is carrying out periodic compliance reporting to these regulatory authorities as required

under specific consent conditions.

However CGPL had applied for amendment of the consent condition related to the stringent

flue gas emission standards specified in the consent given the standards are below the

national standards and also taking into account the considerable challenges and design

limitation associated to meet the same. CGPL has also applied to GPCB towards CC&A

amendment application regarding disposal of non-hazardous ETP sludge (based on analysis

undertaken by CGPL) in ash pond.


Sep 2014 2 SENES

In this regards, CGPL obtained revision in Consent to Operate in February’15 in which

norms for SO2 in flue gas were removed by GPCB.

CGPL is continuing with its liaison with GPCB to seek amendment to the CC&A condition

pertaining to stringent NOx limit in flue gas and amendment for disposal of non-hazardous

ETP sludge.

2.1.4 Coal Quality & Consumption

CGPL is currently utilizing blended coal (Melawan with Ecocoal) for operation of all the 5

units. Review of the coal quality and consumption records for the period 2014-15 reveal that

the CGPL is currently in compliance to the project Environmental Clearance (EC)

requirement to this aspect. Ash and sulfur content in coal was found to be ≤10% and ≤1%

respectively i.e. in compliance to environmental clearance conditions. CGPL to continue

periodically monitoring the consumption and quality of coal.

2.1.5 Fly Ash Management

Review of fly ash generation and utilization records for the period 2014-15 reveals that

around 15% is through sale to Sanghi and Binani cement. Further a trial shipment carrying

ash has been exported to Middle East as part of the phased utilization plan of fly ash. As part

of fly ash utilization, negotiations with Ultratech cement regarding fly ash usage in cement

preparation and coordination with M/s VHSC and CTTL to use fly ash in the preparation of

PozzoSlag and Sand Aggregate are in progress.

CGPL need to put on fast track the implementation of fly ash utilization option to

achieve requirement of Fly Ash Notification dated 2009 and also periodically update the

lenders/stakeholder on the overall implementation status.

2.1.6 Ash Pond – Structural Integrity & Leachate Collection

Based on the various observations made in 2014-15, CGPL had undertaken various activities

related to ash pond like: refurbishment of the bund downstream slope, cleaning of toe drains

and provision of vertical drains, maintenance works at clarifier and slurry pipeline,

garlanding of discharge pipe inside dyke to uniformly fill the ash and maintenance works

related to clarifier and slurry pipeline to facilitate reuse of overflow for preparation of slurry

has been undertaken thus fulfilling the EMP requirement to implement an ash water recycling

system (AWRS) to optimize water usage. The bottom ash dumped along the ash dyke walls

was removed and the same is disposed in ash pond.

CGPL has formulated Cross Functional Team (CFT) for monitoring progress of the ash pond

works and the same regularly visits ash pond area and monitor/assess work

undertaken/required work.

Some of the areas along the ash pond showed seepage along the bottom areas.

Reportedly CGPL has initiated survey related to ash pond capacity in line of assessment


Sep 2014 3 SENES

related to this. CGPL plans to undertake Salvadora perica plantation on along the ash

pond slope for stabilization, which needs to be undertaken on fast track basis.

2.1.7 Hazardous Waste Management

CGPL possess valid hazardous waste authorization (expiring on May 2016) from GPCB as

occupier of the facility generating the following hazardous wastes viz. used oil, discarded

chemical containers, spent ion exchange resins, chemical sludge from waste treatment, waste

residue containing oil, spent solvents etc. Also as required under the provision of Hazardous

Waste (Management, Handling &Transboundary Movement) Rules 2008 CGPL is

continuing with the submission of annual returns specifying details of hazardous waste

disposal to GPCB in prescribed format. For the period 2014-15, 40.32 MT of used oil was

disposed through authorized waste recycler – M/s N.K. Lubricants Pvt. Ltd., Kheda, Gujarat.

This is well within the threshold generation volume (255 MT/year) specified for used oil in

the CTO issued by GPCB. 0.196 MT of waste residue containing oil has been disposed

through authorized waste recycler - Saurashtra Enviro Projects Pvt. Ltd., Kutch, Gujarat.

ETP sludge (identified as hazardous waste under Hazardous Waste Rules) generated from

effluent treatment is being disposed in lined ash pond instead of the GPCB authorized TSDF

facility as required under the waste authorization issued. The ETP sludge has been analyzed

to be of non-hazardous nature and the same has been communicated to GPCB to seek

necessary amendment in the waste authorization. CGPL to proactively liase with GPCB to

facilitate amendment of the “Consolidated Consent & Authorization” issued with

respect to ETP sludge disposal. Hazardous waste containers needs to be marked as per

Form 12 as required under the provision of Hazardous Waste (Management, Handling

& Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2008.

2.1.8 Management of Cooling Water Discharge

Review of the online temperature records of cooling water (near retaining wall) and manual

monitoring undertaken by CGPL of cooling water at final discharge point (near retaining

wall) for the period 2014-15 indicated an average temperature difference of 5.2ºC & 4.3 ºC

respectively indicating conformance to the temperature difference standard of 7ºC at the

cooling water discharge point specified by the MoEF EC Amendment dated 5th

April’07.

CGPL had undertaken model conformity study through NIO and the same was completed in

Dec’14. The study concluded that subsequent to the continuous release of return seawater

effluent at temperature 7ºC above ambient in the outfall channel, near ambient conditions

were being attained at a distance of 500 m from the channel mouth. This distance is much

shorter than prediction of 3 km by HR Wallingford based on the modeling studies conducted

by them prior to the establishment of the CGPL power plant. Further as recommended in this

study similar study is undertaken during the critical season i.e. summer (April-May) when air

and water temperatures are high in the arid region of Kachchh. Reports of the same are

tentatively expected by Oct’15. Observations /recommendation made as part of the model

conformity study needs to be incorporated in the EMP by CGPL.

2.1.9 Performance of Waste Water Treatment Facilities

CGPL has facilitated required replacement of damaged and corroded pipeline network and

control valves of the labour colony STPs to ensure their functionality. Both plant & labour

colony STPs were functional. As reported by CGPL the operation of a single STP (250 KLD)

will be suffice to treat the sewage generated from labour colony which houses only 500

workers, so from Oct’14 onwards only new STP at labour colony is operational.

Review of the monitoring records of the treated water quality for the STPs at the project site

and labor colonies (old and new) was not indicative of satisfactory and effective performance

from April’14 to July’14 with exceedance of Residual chlorine and BOD in all samples. With

operation of only new STP at labour colony, it was observed that from Oct’14 to March’15,

all parameters complied with CC&A norms, except for residual chlorine in Oct’14.

Review of monitoring records for ETP effluent for the period 2014-15 reveal compliance to

the WB effluent standards except for Iron in April’14, June’14 & July’14 and dissolved

solids exceeded all times. It was noted that all parameters complied with WB norms from

Sept’14 to March’15.

Monitoring of ash pond effluent for the parameters viz. pH, suspended solids and oil &

grease as specified in the CC&A was found to be within limits expect for pH which was

observed till 8.7, slightly more than 8.5 limit on few days. Review of Sept to March’14

records reveals that monitoring has also been undertaken for total chromium, lead and

mercury and were in compliance with standards specified in the CC&A..

2.1.10 Flue Gas Emissions & ESP Performance

CGPL performs regular monitoring of flue gas emissions both online using Continuous

Emission Monitoring System (CEMS) and manually to check conformance with the emission

standards specified by World Bank Group Guidelines for Thermal Power Plants at same time

evaluating the performance of electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) and low NOx burners

installed as air pollution control devices.

Statistical analysis of online monitoring data for flue gas emission for the period 2014-15

reveals that the average values of all pollutants to be in compliance in to World Bank

emission standards and CC&A norms for PM only. Interpretation of manual monitoring

results in all cases reveals compliance to the World Bank emission standards but NOx values

exceeded the CC&A limits issued by GPCB. Hence it is recommended that CGPL liase with

GPCB to facilitate the fast track amendment of the consent conditions related to flue

gas emission standards for NOx. In this regard CGPL has also assessed the challenges

for unable to meet the standards specified in the legal document and the same has been

communicated to GPCB vide the amendment application.

2.1.11 Ground Water Monitoring

The quality of ground water near ash pond area is being assessed by CGPL through regular

monitoring of the bore wells installed within the project site. Review of the analytical results,

against IS 10500 drinking water permissible standards, for the period 2014-15 reveals values


Sep 2014 5 SENES

of Fluoride in all samples exceeded standards, TDS exceeded the standards for around 83%

times, Chloride showed exceedance for 77% of the times. Heavy metals in most of the cases

were found to be below detectable limit (BDL) except for iron and lead.

2.1.12 Ambient Air & Noise Quality Monitoring

CGPL continues to assess the potential impacts of the project operations on ambient

environment through monthly monitoring of air and noise quality at various receptor

locations. The receptor locations have been selected based on their proximity to the project

facilities viz. coal conveyor, coal stockpile, etc, predominant wind direction and topography.

Review of village and project level ambient air quality monitoring data reveals compliance to

National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) except for PM10 (46.8-161.9µg/m3)

which is found to exceed the standard (100 µg/m3). This is typical for coastal locations in this

region and also attributed due to the proximity of some villages viz. Vandh to the coal

conveyors of Adani and CGPL thermal power plants.

Day time noise level monitored at the receptor locations were found to be in compliance with

the day time noise standards except for Vandh village in May & June’14 and all villages

expect Siracha in Sept’14. However for night time the noise level at all locations exceeded

the night time standards and was primarily high in case of Vandh village which is located in

close proximity to Adani and CGPL coal conveyors. In view of this CGPL has already

adopted necessary control measures viz. use of closed conveyors, peripheral green belt

development etc. and is also carrying out periodic monitoring to assess the efficiency of the

management measures and plan necessary intervention, as may be required. For noise

monitored within project premises all values were found to be complying with the day and

night time noise standard specified in the CC&A.

2.1.13 Green Belt Development & Mangrove Afforestation

Green belt development program has been implemented by CGPL throughout the project site

particularly near the ICSH area, ash pond etc. which have been identified as potential fugitive

emission sources. For the period 2014-15, in line with EC requirement, 417.89 Ha area has

been covered under green belt and thus 1/3rd

of the total project area (1242 ha) is covered

under green belt. Till March’15, around 10,44,728 saplings have been planted.

CGPL need to sustain with the green belt development to ensure compliance with the

EC condition and also to maintain heterogeneity of plant species being used

(particularly those tolerant to fly ash and sulphur dioxide) and further improve upon

the species survival rate.

In addition to green belt development, CGPL has completed mangrove afforestation along

with Gujarat Ecological Commission and Kantiyajal Tavar Vikas Samiti (KTVS)at coastal

village of Kantiyajal encompassing 1000 ha of land thereby complying with the CRZ

clearance requirement.

10 New Model

Conformity

Study

As per the legal requirement CGPL need to carry out a model

conformity study to validate the thermal and salinity dispersion

modeling previously undertaken by NIO during the project

marine environment impact assessment. Reportedly this study

is to be undertaken by CGPL through a third party following

operation of all the 5 units. In line with this CGPL had

appointed NIO to conduct outfall discharge model conformity

study and the same was completed in Dec’14.

The study concluded that:

Subsequent to the continuous release of return seawater

effluent at temperature 7C above ambient in the outfall

channel, near ambient conditions were being attained at a

distance of 500 m from the channel mouth. This distance is

much shorter than prediction of 3 km by HR Wallingford

based on the modeling studies conducted by them prior to

the establishment of the CGPL power plant.

It was recommended that for more reliable conclusions,

similar studies should be conducted during the critical

season i.e. summer (April-May) when air and water

temperatures are high in the arid region of Kachchh.

Considering the complexity of biological systems and high

ranges of variations observed, further monitoring is necessary

to draw definite conclusions.

As per recommendation of this study another similar study is

being undertaken in summer (April-May’15) when air and

water temperatures are high in the arid region of Kutch.

Reports of the same are tentatively expected by Oct’15.

11 New Flue gas

emission

Statistical interpretation of flue gas emission records (for

criteria pollutants viz. PM, SO2 and NOx) available from

Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS) for the

period 2014-15 reveals that the average values for all pollutants

viz. PM (20.7-30.9mg/Nm3), SO2 (824.1-880.4mg/Nm3) and

NOx (590.7-631.1 mg/Nm3) to be in compliance to the WB

emission standards specified for Thermal Power Plants and

CC&A norms for PM only.

Manual monitoring of flue gas for the period 2014-15 was

found meet the World Bank standards for the following

pollutants: PM (32.4-39.1mg/Nm3), NOx (482-574 mg/Nm3)

and SO2 (643-936 mg/Nm3). However the NOx (232.3-

280.1ppm) values exceeded the permissible limit i.e. 50ppm in

the CC&A issued by GPCB.

Given that the project has been designed and is being operated

for low NOx burner rated at 385ppm CGPL considers it

challenging to meet this stringent standards specified for NOx.

(~10 nos) installed near ash pond to assess the potable quality

of ground water.

Review of the analytical results, against IS 10500 drinking

water standards, for the period 2014-15 reveals:

Fluoride: All values exceeded standards (1.5 mg/l) with

fluoride concentration generally varying within 1.4-7 mg/l;

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): For all the quarters the TDS

exceeded the standards (2000 mg/l) for around 83% times

with values generally ranging within 1336-34719 mg/l;

Chloride: The average values (273.4-18760 mg/l) computed

revealed exceedance to the IS standards (1000 mg/l) for

77% of the times;

Heavy metals in most of the cases were found to be below

detectable limit (BDL) except for iron and lead.

High turbidity was observed in the ground water samples

with values ranging with 0.1-110 NTU.

Presence of coliforms was observed in some ground water

samples confirming for all the ground water samples

indicating it unfit for drinking purposes

The presence of high concentration of fluoride in majority of

the ground water samples can possibly result from leaching of

fluoride from fly ash disposed in ash pond. The average

monitoring results of the bore well water has been statistically

were within NAAQS in Aug’14 & Sept’15 which was probably

due to change in monitoring agencies. Although such values

are typical for coastal locations specific to this region but for

villages which are located in close proximity to the coal

conveyor, the operation of the same may possibly add to the

particulate matter load in ambient air.

improvement of onsite health and safety performance. The detailed assessment of the annual

health and safety performance is presented in Table 2 while subsequent sections provide a

brief overview of the same.

2.1.14 HSE Management System

CGPL has adopted the health and safety system (with guidance form Dupont) that includes

well defined performance standards, procedures and guidelines (HIRA, SCAR, etc.), safety

awareness programs (Safety Time Out) and establishing key performance indicators (e.g. lost

time incidents, severity rate, near miss etc.), which are used to track compliance with Health

and Safety (H&S) targets. Subsequently CGPL has obtained certification for Integrated

Management System (IMS) in July 2014. Based on review of the Standard Operating

Procedures (SOPs) and other procedures prepared by CGPL indicates that the CGPL has

incorporated only permitting requirements and compliance to applicable regulations such as

Gujarat Factories Rules, Petroleum Rules etc.. HSE Organizational Structure

With project now in full scale operation CGPL has in place a dedicated O&M team

comprising of Dept. Heads, Line Managers, and Operational Contractor taking care of O&M

as well as balance construction activities.

2.1.15 Safety Awareness Programs/Plans

Specific health and safety plans and onsite emergency plan have been developed &

augmented on regular basis by CGPL and communicated to contractors including the

operations team. The plans outline the policies and strategies, the organization, resources and

documentation required, the HS risk management principles, and reporting requirements.

With project under operation potential health and safety risks is currently limited to activities

like switchyard “hot line washing”, insulation, floor grating etc. for which necessary work

permits are being issued, audited and activities supervised by a dedicated project O&M team.

Various plans/initiatives viz. Safety Intervention Audits, Process Safety Management

System, implementation of safety time out program & PSUSR checklist etc. have been

implemented by CGPL to ensure continual improvement in project operations as well.

In addition to the above, efforts have been made by CGPL to enhance safety related

awareness both at village and project level through organization of training programs,

competitions and screening safety awareness related audio-visuals

2.1.16 Health & Safety Incidents

No fatality has occurred during FY 14-15 at the Site. However, minor fire incidents occurred

at the coal storage yard. In this regard, CGPL has structured Audit team – namely “FIAT –

detailed assessment and findings in table format is provided in Table 3.

3.1 Compliance to IFC & ADB Requirements

The social performance of the project is briefly outlined in this section for the period 2014-15

consistent with the IFC Performance Standards. The matrix of assessment and findings is

presented below in Table 3 for necessary reference.

3.1.1 Community Relations Organization Structure & Capacity Building

The CR Dept consists of four staff members. Six staff members from Tata Power Community

Development Trust (TPCDT) are also involved in implementing CSR activities at CGPL.

Some of the CSR activities are implemented directly by CGPL, while most of the CSR

activities have been implemented jointly with specialized project partners such as Pratham,

AKRSP etc., New partners engaged for the more diversified community development

activities, which are continuing to provide both qualitative and quantitative results. The

documentation process is now well developed, with more dissemination tools adopted both at

local level and for a broader outreach.

3.1.2 Grievance Redressal Mechanism

A commitment was made by CGPL to improve the GRM through the implementation of a

online computerized Grievance Redressal Management System which is now under

implementation. GRM currently being followed is thus stronger than the one being

previously followed and commented upon earlier. Currently oral feedback or replies are made

to the person raising the grievance

3.1.3 Stakeholder Engagement Plan

A dedicated coordinator is placed in the Community Information Centre (CIC) which is

functioning under the aegis of Community Relations (CR)-CGPL. CIC is one of those

aspects, where the community comes with their suggestions and/or complaints.

Documentation and reporting has become more comprehensive, and is being carried out by

Project Partner called “Fourth Wheel”. Current reports including Social Audit Reports,

Project reports from partner NGOs, internal reports, Minutes of meetings, photo

documentation, Annual Project Report from the partner NGOs etc are prepared, printed and

maintained regularly as per requirement. Stakeholder focused documentation and

communication newsletters are also being circulated now. Documentation of key events has

also been undertaken alongwith preparation of the beneficiary lists. Some reports are one

time reports, but regular monthly, quarterly and annual reports are now prepared and


Sep 2014 26 SENES

circulated among stakeholders. Documents and database of Land Sellers/Titleholders has

been prepared and maintained by CGPL.

A direct communication with the communities in the local language through newsletters to

highlight programs and individuals success stories is also showcased. CIC is now enhanced to

meet the requirements as were envisaged during the planning and setting up of the CIC.

3.1.4 Community Development Plan

Community Development Plan (CDP) prepared in fulfillment of IFC requirements. CDP is

based on the thematic areas identified and approved for CSR interventions for Tata Power

and contains all programs and initiatives by CGPL at Mundra.

There is both internal and external monitoring of CSR activities. The CDP with Annual

Business Plan (ABP) has been the basis for CSR activities for the last year. Annual status

report of completed activities is also prepared for the preceding year. The ABP developed by

CGPL encompasses the need of the communities, commitments of CGPL that are required to

comply with the commitments to lenders, and those even beyond the compliance

requirements. This is also periodically reviewed by CGPL. This has also been supplemented

by CGPL with a Strategic Intent & CSR Policy during this year, and stakeholder engagement

is also an integral component.

4 Compliance with Country Requirements

The project has received Environmental Clearance from MoEF, Forest and Coastal

Regulation Zone Clearances from the Gujarat Department of Forests & Environment and

Consent to Establish from the Gujarat Pollution Control Board. Further CGPL has also

obtained EC from MoEF for expansion of the proposed project to 4150 MW including

amendment of the EC conditions dated 5th

April 2007. CGPL has also obtained Consolidated

Consent and Authorization (CC&A) for operation of five units from Gujarat Pollution

Control Board (GPCB).

Inspection or review of CGPL’s environmental and safety compliance provisions for the

project does not reveal any non-compliance. Preliminary assessment does not indicate any

significant deviations / non-compliance with respect to national laws on social issues. No

Assessment

New Conducted environment assessment for

both the land and marine component of

the project, supplemented to address

assessment primarily relating to

additional environmental considerations

(such as cumulative impacts). All these

assessments have received environmental

approval from the Government.

CGPL to continue due-diligence of

environmental & social regulatory

compliance of external facilities that

the project is dependent on based on

information available in public domain.

Medium The compliance status has

assessed and has been presented

in Table 4.

2 Management Program New With the Unit#1 of the project under

operation and the remaining to follow the

management system need to be up-

graded to incorporate the EHSS risks and

subsequent management measures in

consistent with the regulatory and lender

requirements

Develop and implement an Integrated

Management System (IMS) for

operations to address the potential

EHSS risks and demonstrate improved

project performance in consistent with

the regulatory and lender requirements.

Further the IMS is required to outline

the desired outcomes as measurable

events to the extent possible, with

elements such as performance

indicators, targets, or acceptance

criteria that can be tracked over defined

time periods, and with estimates of the

resources and responsibilities for

implementation.

others needs to be strengthened for

meeting required objectives

Medium Community engagement is now

strengthened with focused

efforts

6 Monitoring New CGPL has retained experienced external

consultants to undertake quarterly EHSS

audits to verify and report compliance to

environmental and social action plan,

lender requirements and regulatory

conditions. However there exists no

defined procedure to monitor and track

implementation of audit corrective and

preventive actions.

Sustain with project progress. Develop

a defined procedure to ensure effective

tracking and monitoring of audit

corrective and preventive actions

implementation during operations.

High Procedure has been developed

as part of the project IMS to

document and monitor the

implementation progress of

EHSS audit corrective actions.

Labor & Working Conditions

7 Human Resource Policy Old Assessed to be generally in compliance

with all the standards relating working

conditions and worker relationship

management. However the

documentation and redressal of

grievances related to basic labor

requirements of the workforce residing

outside the project boundary is found to

be inadequate.

Sustain with project progress. However

CGPL need to regularly monitor and

supervise the living conditions of the

workforce residing outside the project

boundary in consistent with IFC PS2

and national regulatory provisions viz.

Contract Labour Act, Building & Other

Construction Workers Act etc

CGPL has already obtained necessary

authorization from GPCB temporary

storage, handling and disposal of

hazardous waste (used oil, discarded

chemical containers, spent ion exchange

resins, spent solvent, discarded asbestos

etc) to be generated during operation of

Unit#1 and is valid till May 2016.

GPCB for Unit#1 need to be

implemented by CGPL in consistent

with Hazardous Waste Management,

Handling & Transboundary Movement

Rules 2008.

19 Emergency preparedness

and response

Old CGPL has identified the risk associated

with process upset, accidents etc during

operations including the training &

resource needs, responsibilities,

communication, procedures, and other

aspects required to effectively respond to

emergencies associated with such

hazards. CGPL presently plan to

document the same as an Emergency

Preparedness & Response Plan as part of

project IMS documentation.

Operational risks identified need to be

reviewed and evaluated in line with

IFC Performance Standards, IFC EHS

Guidelines and IFC-CGPL covenants

prior to incorporation in the IMS.

21 General Requirements New Community health impacts are

anticipated from fugitive emissions

generated from open coal stockpiles and

coal conveyor operation. This has been

further established based on grievance

expressed by Vandh village communities

residing in close proximity to the coal

conveyor.

Fugitive emission control measures

need to be implemented by CGPL at

coal stockpiles and coal conveyor in

consistent with regulatory and lender

requirements.

High With a view to control fugitive

emission CGPL has already

implemented water spraying

system at coal storage areas and

at crushing units; installed has

dry fog system at transfer points

and bag house filter at coal

handling areas. Further

considering community

grievances particularly from

Vandh village CGPL has

implemented the following

additional measures viz.

Peripheral green belt

development.

Erection of wind barrier

Provision of physical

barrier along the coal

conveyor route.

Dry fog system at the coal

transfer point

22 Community exposure to

diseases

Old Currently awareness on potential

community exposures to disease

especially due to large labour influx is

non existence. This specific concern

gains prominence due to sparse local

population and a very high regional

labour influx

Review potential sources of such

community exposure (transferable

diseases) and build sufficient capacity

with the onsite health infrastructure to

be able to address this concern.

Low With the project completely

under operation there has been a

steady decline of contractor

workforce engaged for

construction. With the those

currently staying at the labour

camps and working onsite the

medical records and the

discussion with medical staff do

not reveal presence or treatment

of any worker for transferable

disease till date. Further

periodic health checkup for

workers has brought down the

risk associated with the diseases

exposure of the local

population.

Land Acquisition & Involuntary Displacement

23 Project design Old No such change in design inducing

involuntary displacement. Due to outfall

channel issues related to temperature of

water and erosion reported by Tragadi

Village.

Carry out joint inspection with Tragadi

Sarpanch and villagers for both the

issues.

HIgh Erosion related concern

addressed in close consultation

with Tragadi Sarpanch and

using the dredged material.

Temperature change related

impact is continuing to be

monitored. Model validation

study by NIO is in progress and

further action will be planned

based on outcome of the study.

24 Consultation Old Regular community consultation being

carried out. Minutes of meetings and

Grievances to be shared with

stakeholders.

Focused consultations with the project

affected people to be carried out

periodically.

High CGPL to continue with their

sustained efforts in carrying out

regular community

consultations. Reporting and

documentation of such meetings

is now included in reports being

disseminated as part of

stakeholder communication.

Old Risk identification and Mitigation has

become critical due to some components

of design affecting long term CSR

activities. Risk identification and

mitigation requires focused work and

shared responsibilities with various

departments. Risks if addressed only by

CSR are likely to affect long term

community development work.

Involvement of key departments in

identifying risks or potential concerns

likely to result in risks and planning

measures to mitigate risks.

Training of key team consisting of

officials from various departments for

negotiating with communities.

High CR is the main Dept. involved

with communities in CGPL.

Risk mitigation activities now

undertaken by respective

departments that the risk can be

best dealt with, and with

guidance / support from the CR

team as required.

Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Natural Resource Management

27 Protection and

conservation of

biodiversity

Old Previous assessment undertaken as part

of project EC and CRZ clearance does

not reveal the presence of any legally

protected eco-sensitive areas within 10

km of the site. The portion of outfall

channel (permitted by CRZ regulation)

for the project is also assessed to be

devoid of mangrove vegetation,

unsuitable for any vegetation growth

(except for stray halophytes viz., Sueda

martima), and does not sustain reef

building corals.

Implementation of planned

conservation initiatives should be

monitored with experienced

environmental manpower to ensure the

integration envisaged is in concurrence

with project progress. Compensatory
