Subject: Expansion of Kamanda Steel Plant located at village Kamanda in DistrictSundergarh of Odisha by M/s Rungta Mines Limited

Reference: Online Proposal No IA/OA/IND/151729/2020

Dear Sir,

This is with reference to the Essential Details Sought (EDS) online dated 21.04.2020regarding the proposal cited under reference. In the matter, we are submitting our Point wiseresponse hereunder along with required information/ documents for your kind consideration:

Point No 1: Form 2 S.No 15: Actual surface water requirement is 62304 KLD, whereaspermission is only available for 9371 KLD. Source for the remainingwater requirement and the permission for the water drawl shall befurnished.

Response: The water required for the plant is being sourced from Karo River. The StateGovernment has permitted withdrawal of 9371 KLD from river Karo. RungtaMines Limited has made an agreement on 22.11.2019 with SundargarhIrrigation Division, copy of which is uploaded at Sl. 15 of Form 2. Remainingwater requirement will be met from the Karo river & Kurarhi river for whichIPICOL has recommended 14.35 cusec (35,105 cum/day) of water toDepartment of Water Resources for existing & proposed expansion ofKamanda Steel Plant. In-principle approval letter is also uploaded at Sl. 15 ofForm 2. The water consumption has also been reviewed in view of the detaileddesigning and talks with vendors which are under progress and the revisedwater consumption shall now be 35,103 KLD compared to 62,304 KLD earlier.The break up of the revised water requirement for enhancement is given inTable 30 of Revised Pre-feasibility Report uploaded at Sl No. 39(a) of Form 2.

Point No 2: Addendum to the EIA report: Material & Energy balance including Gasvolume calculations, Pollution load in a process flow diagram withbalance sheet for the entire process units shall be furnished.

Response: Details of Material & Energy balance had been covered in detail in thePrefeasibility Report as follows:

SL Facilities Table no. of PFR1 Mini Blast furnace 102 Sinter plant 133 DRI 154 SMS 175 CCM 196 Rolling mill 217 Pellet plant 248 Oxygen plant 27

Gas volume calculation of each stacks are given in Addendum EIA at Table 3.Pollution load for the entire plant has been assessed in Table 5 due to processthrough Stacks and Table 6 for fugitive emissions. The cumulative resultantGLC is given in Table 8.

Point no 3: Air quality prediction modeling shall be revised by incorporating terrainfeatures of the study area with geo referencing of all the process stacks.

Response: Revised Air quality prediction modeling incorporating terrain features of thestudy area with geo referencing of all the process stacks has been carried outand given in Enclosure-A to Addendum EIA and summarised in Table 5.

We hope you will find above information/ document is in order. We request you to kindlyconsider our application for presentation before EAC for grant of enhancement with changein configuration under clause 7(II) of EIA Notifications, 2006

A separate application with Form 4 has been submitted parallely for the above amendment inconfiguration.

In addition to the amendments, Rungta Mines Limited (Kamanda Steel Plant) seeks capacityenhancement of (i) DRI, (ii) SMS, (iii) Billets/Slab/Bloom Caster, (iv) TMT/Round/Wire Rod/Flat/Structural/ others, (v) Pelletisation Plant and installation of a new Oxygen plant.

There will be no change in the (i) Beneficiation plant, (ii) Coal Washery, (iii) Coke oven plant, (iv)Captive power plant (WHRB & AFBC/CFBC) and (v) Ferro Alloy Plant.

The increase in production of DRI will be due to improvement of coal quality & consequentincrease in feed of Iron ore/ Pellet, which will increase capacities of the forward & backwardintegrated units in the Kamanda Steel Plant. Therefore, an enhancement in DRI, SMS, Billetscaster, Rolling Mill, and Pelletization Plant is being sought as given in Table 5.

*proposed amendment in configuration

There is no oxygen plant in present configuration and it is proposed to install an oxygen Plant of150 TPD, which will have the following advantages:

Reduces the Electricity consumption Reduces considerable tap to tap time Increasing productivity

We wish to submit that company will take the following additional steps for minimization of impact:(1) Installation of advanced bag filter controllers to improve the efficiency of all bag filters(2) Solar lighting for all streets and parking area(3) Fixed water sprinklers will be increased from 300 to 400 nos.(4) ESP shall be modified to reduce PM below 50 mg/Nm3

Accordingly, please find uploaded & enclosed the following:

Enclosure 1: Copy of Environmental Clearances from MOEF&CC vide letter no. J-11011/305/2012-IA.II.(I) dated 06.11.2017 and its amendments dt. 08.03.2019&19.06.2019
