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.
Annual Environmental & Social Performance Report (FY 14-15) – CGPL Power Plant, Mundra
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
Annual Environmental & Social Performance Report (FY 14-15) – CGPL Power Plant, Mundra
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
Annual Environmental & Social Performance Report (FY 14-15) – CGPL Power Plant, Mundra
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.

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.
CGPL had received amendment in CC&A with cancellation of
Ensure fast track amendment of the
CC&A conditions by GPCB with
respect to flue gas emission norms

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
interpreted and presented in Annexure 11.

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.

B. Health & Safety Performance
With the augmentation in safety staffing by CGPL, proper implementation of specific plan
and procedures, communication between the contractor workers, safety training and
awareness, incident reporting, visual aids etc. CGPL continues to demonstrate considerable
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

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
Annual Environmental & Social Performance Report (FY 14-15) – CGPL Power Plant, Mundra

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.
