2.0 JUSTIFICATION FOR THE PROPOSED CHANGES

2.1 Change in Ash Disposal System

Earlier, lean slurry system was envisaged for fly ash disposal based on which LVTPL

submitted the EIA Report and obtained the Environment Clearance on 24th February,

2011. However, after detailed engineering of ash handling system, LVTPL proposes to

adopt the High Concentration Slurry Disposal (HCSD) System for the fly ash disposal.

Following are the advantages of adopting High Concentration Slurry Disposal (HCSD)

system against lean slurry disposal system for fly ash:

1. HCSD technology is better from environmental considerations

2. Ash is mixed with water in a consistency of ash (55%-65%) : water (45% to 35 %),

forming a thick paste and pumped by high pressure reciprocating pumps to ash-

dyke

3. Initial cost of HCSD system is marginally higher than the Lean Slurry ash disposal

system. However, overall life cycle cost is comparatively lower

4. Contamination of ground water is negligible by using HCSD system

5. By adopting HCSD system, ash-slurry disposal is limited to the extent of the

following areas after 4 years’ period as per MoEF guidelines:

a. Bottom ash disposal, amounting to only about 20 % of total ash quantity

b. Emergency provision for disposal of fly-ash.

In view of the above, use of High Concentration Slurry Disposal (HCSD) system for the

Fly Ash Disposal has been considered for the Project.

2.2 Change in Water Storage Location & Water Storage Capacity

2.2.1 Change in Location of Water Reservoir

As per the EIA Report (October 2010), 70 acres of land was allotted for water reservoir

within the project site for which BTAL (Bombay Tenancy & Agricultural Land Act)

permission was also obtained to purchase land in Mandva village. However, farmers

were not willing to sell their land which would have led to non-contiguous land

availability and delay. Hence the reservoir is proposed to be shifted to a different

location within the study area of 10 km radius where contiguous land is available. The

proposed reservoir location along with coordinates is shown in Figure - 2.

The new reservoir location is about 3.05 km from the plant site. Out of total land

required for water storage, about 61 acres land has already been procured through

direct negotiations with land owners by facilitating agency and leased to the Project

Company: Lanco Vidarbha Thermal Power Limited; The lease process for the balance

land is in progress. The land for water reservoir is agricultural land with single crop.

2.2.2 Change in Water Storage Capacity

The proposed project is located in water scarce area. Water allocation from Wardha

river from lower Wardha Irrigation Project has been provided by Vidarbha Industrial

Development Corporation (VIDC) which has stipulated payment of Rs. 95 crore

towards loss/restoration of command area. LVTPL has already deposited Rs. 55 crore

to VIDC on this account. Thus in order to take care of any fluctuations due to low

levels of water and to ensure continuous plant operation even during lean season, it is

proposed to increase the capacity of reservoir to 3 to 4 weeks’ storage from 15 days.

The exact storage quantum between 21 to 30 days of storage will be determined

during the detailed engineering for the reservoir based on contour / topography,

shape / outline and perimeter of the land, etc.

In view of the above circumstances, it is proposed to increase the storage capacity of

the reservoir to between 3 to 4 weeks’ storage from 15 days envisaged earlier, and to

shift the location, as explained above.

3.0 CSR Activities

CSR activities have been undertaken from September 2010 onwards, in the

neighbouring villages with focus on Health, Education, Environment, Women

Empowerment, Training & Development, Participatory Community Development and

Infrastructure Development in the villages. A defined Corporate Social Responsibility

• Special Health Camps- Eye check up, W&C, Cancer etc.; and

• Safe Drinking Water.

(c) Environment

• Cloth Bags distribution: say no to plastic bags; and

• Green Village Award- Tree plantation.

(d) Community Development

• Technical skill development training to local youths;

• Participatory Community Development program;

5.0 CONCLUSION

We hereby affirm that there is no change in the location of the plant and it is

remaining within the co-ordinates as given in the Environment Clearance granted

earlier. Location of all the installations such as Boiler, TG building, IDCT, Ash dyke, etc.

are same as per the earlier submissions to MOEF&CC. However, the following

changes are proposed:

• HCSD system for fly ash disposal which is a better system compared to lean

slurry system

• Change in location of reservoir in view of the unwillingness of farmers to sell

the land, and change in capacity of reservoir to address any shortage during

lean season

In view of the above, LVTPL requests the Authority for issuance of an amendment to

the Environmental Clearance with the above proposed changes.
