1. Name of the Project Rowghat Iron Ore Mine of M/s Steel Authority of India Limited located in Matla Reserve Forestsin Narayanpur and Kanker district in Chhattisgarh.

2. Project Sector Non Coal Mining3. Shape of the Project Land Polygon4. Brief summary of the project Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) is a public sector undertaking, largely owned by

Government of India and functions like an operating company. SAIL, by virtue of its Maharatnastatus, enjoys significant operational and financial autonomy. Bhilai Steel Plant is amanufacturing unit of SAIL. SAIL – the largest steel producer in country, has embarked upon amassive modernization and expansion plan to retain its position as the ‘leader of the IndianSteel industry’ w.r.t. market share by enhancing its production capacity to 23.46 MTPA from theinstalled production capacity of 13.8 MTPA of hot metal. SAIL sources its entire requirement ofiron ore and part of its requirement of limestone, dolomite and coking coal from its captivemines located in the states of Jharkhand, Odisha and Chhattisgarh.Bhilai Steel Plant (referred to as BSP here-in-after), the proud winner of the prestigiousPrime Minister’s Trophy for 11 times, came into being during the 2nd Five year plan as a part ofHindustan Steel Ltd (Later on known as Steel Authority of India Ltd - SAIL) in collaborationwith erstwhile USSR. It is one of the five integrated steel plants under SAIL and is locatedstrategically in the mineral rich central region of India. BSP has always been a major contributorto the bottom line of Maharatna Company- SAIL and hence is admired as its flagship unit. BSP’sinbound supply chain has the strategic advantage of having captive mines. BSP is undergoingexpansion to increase hot metal production to 7.6 MTPA. Under expansion, BSP is setting upa large Blast Furnace (BF-8) of useful volume 4060 m3. Post expansion, the iron orerequirement for BSP will be about 12 MTPA. Development of Rowghat Mine has been envisagedto meet the future iron ore requirement of BSP. But, since it is a green field project located inReserve Forest, it has a long gestation period.The Ministry of Mines, Govt. of India, vide letter dated 04.01.2007 has accorded approval undersection 5(1) and relaxation under section 6(1)(b) of MM(D&R) Act,1957, for grant of Mining

Sl.No. Item DetailsLease over an area of 2028.797 hectares (ha) in Deposit-F of Rowghat, comprising of 7 blocksnamely Raodongri, Block-A, Tarhur, Anjarel, Korgaon, Kharkagaon and Takrel in favour of M/s.SAIL. Accordingly, terms & conditions for grant of the above mentioned ML was accorded toSAIL by the State Govt. vide letter dated 09.01.2007. The mining plan of Rowghat was approvedby IBM vide letter No. dated 22.03.2007. MoEFCC, GoI has granted Environmental Clearancefor the Rowghat Iron ore Mining Project vide letter No. J-11015/331/2006–IA.II (M)dated 4th June, 2009 and 15th March, 2010 for an annual production capacity of 14 Mt/yr ofiron ore. The forest clearance has been accorded for over an area of 883.22 ha vide letter no.F.No.8-44/2005-FC(Pt), dated 03.08.2009.The concept was to develop Rowghat deposit in phases (Phase – 1 & 2) to meet the partialrequirement of iron ore of BSP. It is proposed to initially develop 3 blocks viz. Block-A, Tarhurand Anjarel for excavation of total ROM of 14 MTPA in phase-1.As per the original plan, it was envisaged that the ROM ore will be transported through internalhaul roads by 120 ton rear discharge dumpers to the primary & secondary crushing units to beset up at the hilltop. The secondary crushed product will be transported to the loading bay atfoothill through flat bed/pipe conveyors where it will be screened to separate the Lump & Finessize fraction which will be directly dispatched to BSP. While the ore which requires beneficiationwill be dispatched to Dalli-Rajhara mines (existing ML of BSP, SAIL at a distance of 95 km fromRowghat) for beneficiation through rail only. The crux of the plan was that the entire quantityshall be evacuated through Rail.However mining, development and production from Rowghat ML could not be commenced dueto “Naxal” disturbance in the area.The progress of construction of Rail line between Dalli-Rajhara & Rowghat also got hampered due to “Naxal” problem.The issue of “Naxal” problem, was brought to the knowledge of ministry of Steel & ministry ofHome affairs. After series of meetings, MHA approved 2 battalions of BSF & CRPF/ SSB forprotection of mining & railway line respectively. However responsibility for developingInfrastructures i.e. barracks & campus was entrusted to BSP. BSP till date developed six nos ofBSF camps at mining area & eleven nos. of camps between Dalli-Rajhara for CRPF/SSB, at awhopping cost of 90 Crores.As a result mining area is fully secure. Railway line up to 17 km (Gudum) is functional & up to 42km i.e. “Keonti” is expected to be completed by Nov ’2017. The Rail line up to 95 km (Rowghat)will be completed by 2021.

Sl.No. Item DetailsAn alternate plan for evacuation of iron ore by road till the year 2021:With the present limited life of the existing reserves of iron ore at Dalli-Rajhara of BSP mine andthe increased iron ore requirement for the proposed hot metal production of BSP, developmentof Rowghat Deposit has become essential and urgent. Therefore an interim plan for evacuationof Iron Ore by Road has been prepared for this a traffic study of the existing road for thepurpose was carried out along with base line air quality (one season) monitoring along the roadevacuation corridor up to “Keonti”. During the study it was also revealed that with the existingof road only 0.3 Mt/yr., can be safely evacuated. No other changes have been proposed in theapproved EIA/EMP by MoEFCC, GoI.Hence we request that:As the proposed change in scope of work is marginal and only for limited period up to 2021 anddoes not involve increase in annual production capacity, we seek Amendment/ modificationfor evacuation of iron ore by road, in the Environment Clearance already granted forRowghat Iron ore Mining Project of M/s Steel Authority of India Limited, dated 4th June, 2009
