EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a process, used to identify the environmental, social

and economic impacts of a project prior to decision-making. It is a decision making tool, which

guides the decision makers in taking appropriate decisions for proposed projects. EIA

systematically examines both beneficial and adverse consequences of the proposed project

and ensure that these impacts are taken into account during the project designing.

1.1 Environmental Clearance

As per the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA); Notification S.O. 1533, 14-09-2006 issued

by MoEFCC, Government of India, the proposed expansion project activity is listed at S. No.

3(a) Metallurgical Industries (Ferrous & non-ferrous) is categorized as Category – B project,

which mandates obtaining prior Environmental Clearance from SEIAA, Telangana State. Due to

non-constitution of Telangana State Expert Appraisal Committee this case was considered at

Central Level.

1.2 Terms of Reference

M/s. MS Agarwal Foundries Pvt. Ltd. submitted the application for Environmental Clearance as

per the new notification along with prescribed Form1, proposed Terms of Reference for EIA

study and pre-Feasibility report on the project on 14th June 2018. The Expert Appraisal

Committee considered the project in the 33rd meeting held on July 9th to 11th, 2018 and

prescribed Terms of References is incorporated in the EIA report.

1.3 Brief Description of Project

2.3 Utilities

Water Requirement

The manufacturing process of proposed project does not require water at any stage. The water

requirement in the project will be for cooling purpose, domestic consumption and green belt



development. The existing unit requires 100 KLD of water and second phase (proposed phase)

requires 230 KLD of water. Total initial water requirement for the project will be 330 KLD. This

requirement will be met from Ground water. The details of water requirement for different

purposes are presented in Table 3.

Mandal- Toopran, District- Medak in Telangana State. The proposed expansion activity will be

established within the existing plant area only.

Water Balance

There is no generation of process wastewater in the proposed project. Cooling water is

continuously re-circulated in the cooling water circuits, heat exchangers and discharged to the

sump or holding tank cooling towers where evaporation losses drift losses and spillages are

encountered. Domestic waste water will be sent to the septic tank followed by soak pit. Zero

Discharge norms will be followed.

the surrounding villages, to help for the improvement of the socio economic status in the

surrounding rural areas.

2.4 Technology and Process Description

2.4.1 Induction Furnace

The induction furnace operates as a batch melting process producing batches of molten steel

known “heats”. The furnace operating cycle is called the tap-to-tap cycle and is made up of the

following operations:

• Furnace charging

• Melting

• Refining

• De-slagging

• Tapping

• Furnace turn-around

The process flow diagram is Figure 3.



Figure 3: Process Flow Chart of Induction Furnace

2.4.2 Rolling Mill

Hot Billet received from Steel Melt Shop are inspected and cut to length as per the size of TMT

to be rolled. These hot billets are directly sent to rolling mill via hot charging conveyor without

any preheating.

The hot Billets are passed through roughing stands and then goes to Continuous Stands. These

stands are with A.C. motor for Variable speeds. After that the bar passes through TMT Box

where it goes under Thermo Mechanical Treatment to improve upon Corrosion Resistance and

Mechanical properties like Yields tress, Elongation, Bending, Tensile strength, etc.

After passing through TMT box, the bar is cut into lengths to accommodate on cooling bed.

After the bar is cooled it is cut into fix lengths as per requirement of market through Shearing

Machine. At an interval of 1 hour a sample is drawn for checking weight per meter and

mechanical properties. The TMT process is given in Figure 4.

3.0 BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES

Baseline environmental studies were conducted in the proposed project area and in the area

within 10 km radius from the proposed expansion project area to assess the existing

environmental scenario in the area. The baseline environmental quality data for various

components of environment, viz. Air, Noise, Water, Land were monitored during March to

May 2018 in the study area covering 10 km around the Plant area.

The status of ambient air quality within the study area was monitored for the period of March

to May 2018 at 8 locations including the Plant area and in nearby villages. Total 8 sampling

locations were selected based on the meteorological conditions considering upwind and

downwind directions. The levels of Respirable Particulate Matter (PM10), Fine Particulates

(PM2.5), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2,), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOX) and Carbon Monoxide were

monitored. The minimum and maximum values of monitoring results are summarized in Table

thousands of species and subspecies. These criteria are relevant to all species and all regions of

the world. With its strong scientific base, the IUCN Red List is recognized as the most

authoritative guide to the status of biological diversity. Among the enumerated flora in the

study area, none of them were assigned any threat category, by RED data book of Indian

Plants. (Nayar and Sastry, 1990) and Red list of threatened Vascular plants (IUCN, 2010; BSI,

2003).

4.1 AIR Pollution Control Measures

Following measures will be taken to control air/fugitive pollution during operation:

i. Stack height would be approx. 30 m (3 nos.) for gaseous emission confirming to the CPCB

norms. For D. G. Sets, stack height of 3.0 m above the roof level will be maintained.

ii. Stack emission level will be kept within permissible limit by installation of bag filter and

online stack emission monitoring will be done.

iii. Ambient air quality and stack emission would be regularly monitored and effective

control exercised, so as to keep limits on stack emission loads would be met honestly at

all the time.

iv. In order to avoid fugitive emissions from different sources, water will be sprayed. Also

the roads within the premises will be concreted to prevent dust emission.

v. The ambient air monitoring will be carried out regularly in the work zone and

surrounding areas, to check that ambient air levels of the contaminants, are well below

the stipulated norms.

vi. Green belt around the periphery and within premises will be developed which will help in

attenuating the pollutants emitted by the plant.

4.2 Water Quality Management

The proposed project would be based on “Zero Liquid Discharge” (ZLD)

4.3 Noise Pollution Control

Various components of industrial operations will cause some amount of noise, which will be

controlled by proper maintenance and compact technology.

i. Time to time oiling and servicing of machineries will be done.

ii. Acoustic enclosure for Turbine and D.G. sets will be provided.

iii. Green belt development (plantation of dense trees across the boundary) will help in

reducing noise levels in the plant as a result of attenuation of noise generated due to

plant operations, and transportation.

4.4 Greenbelt Development and Plantation

About 33% of the plant site will be developed as green belt.

4.5 EMP and CER Details

Details of environment management plan are given in Table 10.

5.0 CONCLUSION

As discussed, it is safe to say that the project is not likely to cause any significant impact on the

ecology of the area, as adequate preventive measures will be adopted to contain the various

pollutants within permissible limits. Green belt development around the area will also be

taken up as an effective pollution mitigative technique, as well as to control the pollutants

released from the premises of the project.
