Sub: Expansion of Sponge Iron Plant (57,000 TPA)
into Integrated Steel Plant (0.18 MTPA) along with Captive Power Plant (24 MW;
WHRB 12 MW & FBC 12 MW) and Ferro Alloy Plant (2x9 MVA) at Jamuria Industrial Estate, Ikra,
P.O. Jamuria, District Burdwan
in West Bengal by M/s Maan Steel & Power
Limited - regarding Environmental
Clearance
Sir,
2. The
Ministry of Environment and Forests has examined the application for the above
project. It is noted that M/s
Maan Steel & Power Limited have proposed for
the expansion of Sponge Iron Plant (57,000
TPA) by addition of Steel melting shop and rolling mill to Integrated Steel Plant (0.18 MTPA) along
with Captive Power Plant (24 MW; WHRB 12 MW & FBC 12 MW)
and Ferro Alloy Plant (2x9 MVA) at Jamuria
Industrial Estate, in District Burdwan in West
Bengal. About 18000 TPA of Steam coal / pearl coke will be required which will be
purchased from open market and also from import. Total land acquired is
40.94 acres and green belt will be developed in 13.5 acres. No R&R is
involved. No national park/wildlife sanctuary/reserve forests are
located within 10 km. radius of the project site. Total cost of the
project is Rs. 342.30 Crores. Rs 13.70 Crores and Rs 1.19 Crores are
earmarked towards capital cost and recurring cost/annum for environment
pollution control measures.

4. To control particulate emissions electrostatic precipitator
(ESP) will be provided to DRI kilns and FBC boiler. Hot fume gases for the kiln
will be passed through dust settling chamber (DSC) and after burning chamber
(ABC) to remove the coarse solids and burn CO and then passed through waste
heat recovery boiler (WHRB) and Electrostatic precipitator (ESP) before letting
out into the atmosphere through ID fan and stack. Fume extraction
system with duct, gas cooler, bag house, ID fans and stack will be provided to
Induction Furnace. Fugitive dust will be controlled by dust suppression and
dust extraction system. Regular water sprinkling will be carried out
to minimize the fugitive dust emission during transportation.
5. Total water requirement of 1,632 m3/day
will be met from the River Ajay. The treated effluent will be used
for dust suppression and green belt development. Domestic effluent will be
treated in septic tank followed by soak pit. No effluent will be
discharged outside the premises and ?Zero? discharge will be adopted. All
the storm water will be collected and stored in water harvesting pond. Out of 45 MW power requirement,
24 MW will be generated captively and 21 MW will be
sourced from grid. Char and coal fumes will be utilized as fuel feed
in FBC power plant.
6. The solid waste generated in the form of
Char and coal fines will be used in FBC boiler. Scrap will be
recycled in steel melting shop. Scales from rolling mill and Iron
ore fines from raw material handling system will be sold to sinter plant. Kiln
dust, kiln accretion, bottom ash will be used for land filling. Fly
ash will be used as per Fly Ash Notification and collected in dry form.
Waste/used/spent oil and used batteries will be sold to authorized
recyclers/re-processors.
7. All
the Integrated Steel plants are listed at S.No. 3(a) under category ?A? of the Schedule
of EIA Notification, 2006 and appraised at the Central level.
8. The
proposal was considered by the Expert Appraisal Committee-1 (industry) in its
16th meeting held during 22nd - 24th November,
2010. The Committee recommended the proposal for environmental clearance
subject to stipulation of specific conditions along with other environmental
conditions. Public hearing is not required due to project being
located in Jamuria
Industrial Estate as per Section (iii),
Stage (3), Para (i)(b) of EIA Notification 2006
