3.0 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES
� Impact on Air Environment - The key air emissions from the plant activities
(loading/unloading, transportation and storage of coal and other raw materials) are
Particulate Matter, Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) and Sulphur dioxide (SO2). Gaseous
emissions are being/will be generated from transportation of vehicles. Use of
proper mitigation measures are being/will be taken like water sprinkling during
Material transfer activities & development of green belt along the road sides to
control fugitive emissions.
� Impact on Water Environment - There is/will be minimal discharge of liquid
effluent from the plant site. All the effluent will be treated in the Effluent
Treatment Plant and the treated effluent after pressure sand filter will be utilized
partially in pulp mill, green belt development and dust suppression. Therefore, no
significant impact on surface water bodies is anticipated due to plant operations.
� Impact of Noise - During construction phase, noise will be generated from vehicle
movement for transfer of construction materials, operation of heavy equipments
and machinery like vibrators, cranes, welding machines etc. However, the impact
will be of short term duration. The plantation and the green belt around the plant
boundary also mitigate noise in the surrounding areas.
� Impact on Land Environment – No adverse impact on the surrounding land is
anticipated. It will be ensured that there would not be any effluent discharge from
the plant during operation and management will adopt and practice best
measures to prevent release of pollutants outside the plant premises.

� The wastewater from wet washing section shall be treated in the ETP, as such
after mixing in common mill stream. During generation of wastewater, approx.
25% is recirculated back into its own process and remaining is discharged to ETP.
� During pulp washing process, the generated black liquor is sent to the chemical
recovery section where it is evaporated and fired in F.B.R. The evaporated water -
Condensate & Foul Condensate - is recirculated back to boiler & pulp washing,
respectively. The chemical recovery operation is virtually a zero-discharge
scheme, wherein all water generation is either recirculated back to the process or
evaporated through its chimney.
� The wastewater generation in paper making is partially recycled to pulp mill for
pulp dilution at different stages, as it contains fiber, fines & chemicals and
balanced is sent to ETP for further treatment. The wastewater from pump sealing
& hydraulics is used in self reciculation.
� The wastewater from boiler section is generated in the form of cooling tower
bleed or from steam traps. Both are sent for treatment in ETP.
7.3 Noise Management
� Time to time oiling and servicing of machineries is being/will be done
� Acoustic enclosure for Turbine & D.G. sets are/would be provided.
� The green belt development helps in absorbing noise.
� Earmuffs provided to workers while running the equipments of the plant.
� Periodic monitoring is being/will be carried out
7.4 Solid Waste Management
� Primary ETP sludge is reutilized back into paper making.
� The secondary clarifier and Tertiary treatment sludge is collected in either sludge
beds or dewatered through decanter and utilized within the plant.
� The ash from the boilers is being/will be utilized for filling low lying area within
the campus and also utilized by nearby farmers in their fields
7.5 Greenbelt Development and Plantation Program
� About 3.05 ha area from the total area of 7.8 ha has been covered under Green
belt, which is more than 33% of the total plant area. Greenbelt has been developed
and maintained properly around the plant boundary and along the road sides.
