VIMTA Labs Limited, Hyderabad 1

1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background

GMR Chhattisgarh Energy Limited (GCEL) proposed to setup 2x685 MW Sub-Critical Thermal Power Plant at Raikheda village, Tilda block, Raipur district, Chhattisgarh. Environmental Clearance (EC) for the said project was granted by MoEF vide letter no. J-13012/62/2008-IA. II(T) dated 09th May 2011 and its amendment dated 13th June 2013. Copy of EC letter and amendment is enclosed as Annexure-I. Further, the committee recommended for amendment of EC for road transportation of coal for a limited period of three years during the 18th Meeting held on 31st July and 1st August, 2014. Coal from Vizag port (NOC available) will be transported by rail (Railway Transport Clearance was obtained on 04.07.2011 from Ministry of Railways) upto siliyari railway station which is about 30 kms to plant by road. On 04.02.2015, the committee granted EC amendment for use of 50% blend coal sourced through E-auction.

1.2 Purpose of the Report The preliminary objective of the report is: Use of 100% Domestic Coal sourced from Talabira-I and Ganeshpur Coal block

and Change of fuel source from 50% blend with e-auction coal to 50% Blend for coal

sourced through Talabira-I and Ganeshpur Coal Block in the worst case scenario

Hence, GCEL is submitting this addendum report detailing the justification and the impacts due to the proposed change of fuel source from to 50% domestic coal (50% Domestic & 50% Imported) sourced through Talabira-I and Ganeshpur Coal block.

1.3 Justification for the Proposed Changes

As per Coal mines (special provisions) Rules 2014, Talabira-1 and Ganeshpur coal Block mines has been vested over to GMR Chhattisgarh Energy Limited in the recently concluded coal block E-auction. Hence, the request is proposed for change of fuel source from to 50% domestic coal (50% Domestic & 50% Imported) sourced through Talabira-I and Ganeshpur Coal block.



Coal Block Allotment and Status Based on coal mines (special provisions) second Ordinance, 2014 and the Coal mines (special provisions) Rules 2014, Talabira-1 and Ganeshpur coal Block mines has been vested over to GMR Chhattisgarh Energy Limited in the recently concluded coal block E-auction. GMR Chhattisgarh Energy Ltd was a successful bidder in the coal block auction and has won Talabira –I coal block located in Odisha in auction of Schedule-II coal mines and has already signed Coal development and production agreement for Talabira-I coal block with MoC. MoC has also issued Vesting Order for the coal block on 23.03.2015.Talabira-I Coal Block is an operational coal block with a total reserve of 10 MTPA leftover for extraction. GMR Chhattisgarh Energy Ltd was also a successful bidder for Schedule –III coal mines and has won Ganeshpur coal block located in Jharkhand and has already signed Coal development and production agreement for Ganeshpur coal block with MoC. MoC has also issued Vesting Order for the coal block on 22.04.2015. Further, the company also has FSA for Indonesian and South African Coal and intends to source Indonesian coal/ South African coal during the short fall of domestic coal.

The above table depicts that no wastewater will be discharged outside the premises during normal operation except during monsoon season even after the proposed change in configuration of the plant.

3.0 IMPACT ASSESSMENT For assessment of impact prediction, maximum power generation of 1370 MW (2 x 685 MW) is considered. Also solid waste and gaseous emissions are calculated based on worst coal quality.

3.1 Impact on Air Quality

The major source of emission from the proposed power plant is stack attached to boilers. Particulate Matter (PM), Sulphur dioxide (SO2) and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) are the major pollutants from the proposed power plant. The expected stack emission details are worked out based on both domestic coal as well as blended coal options. For blended coal, 50:50 has been considered to assess the impact on air quality. The details are given in Table-6A and Table-6B.

*For which EC was granted TABLE-6B

Prediction of impacts on air environment has been carried out by employing Industrial Source Complex [ISC3] mathematical model based on a steady state Gaussian plume dispersion model designed for multiple point sources for short term.

Air pollution modeling has been carried out by estimating GLCs at about 1200 receptors to obtain an optimum description of variations in concentrations over the site in 10 km radius covering 16 directions. The incremental ground level concentrations and resultant GLCs for PM10, SO2 and NOx are given in Table-7. Isopleths showing the incremental concentrations are given in Annexure-III.

TABLE-7 A INCREMENTAL GROUND LEVEL CONCENTRATIONS (IMPORTED AND DOMESTIC)

% Imported

PM10 1.0 1.0 1.0

SO2 29.1 30.2 29.9

NOx 14.1 14.1 14.1

From the above table it can be observed that even with the usage of blended coal, the incremental concentrations are below the emissions for which EC was obtained. Hence, no significant additional air impacts are envisaged with the use of 100% domestic coal in place of 100% imported coal.



3.3 Impact on Water Resources and Water Quality

The total fresh water consumption for the proposed 2 x 685 MW thermal power plant with super critical technology will be 4100 m3/hour (equivalent to 36 MCM per annum). There will be no change in water consumption or wastewater generation even with domestic/blended coal option. The wastewater generated in the proposed plant will be adequately treated and reused in the project and no wastewater will be discharged outside the premises during normal operation except during monsoon season. Hence, no additional impact on water resources and water quality is envisaged.

3.4 Impact of Solid Waste

The total coal consumption will be increased with the use of domestic coal and so the total ash owing to the high ash content. However, there will be no change in the other solid waste generation. The details of ash generation are given in Table-10.

No increase in air emissions of PM and NOx. Further, SO2 emissions are slightly less in case of domestic coal when compared to 50% South African coal and Indonesian coal However, GLCs are estimated to be within the NAAQ standard limits.

The above table depicts that there is no significant impact on the environment due to change in coal from imported coal to domestic coal/blended coal.

Hence, GCEL is requesting for the Usage of domestic coal/blended coal in place of

100% imported coal (South Africa or Indonesia) and 50% Blend for coal sourced through Talabira-I and Ganeshpur Coal Block in the worst case scenario as there is no significant additional impact on the environment.

Raw Water Reservior-1 Coal Conveyors and Coal Bunkers 7.0 CONCLUSION

As per the advice of Expert Appraisal Committee, MoEF, super critical technology is envisaged for the project. GCEL has already obtained FSA with Indonesian Coal Mines for supply of Imported Coal to the project. Water requirement and wastewater generation, treatment and disposal for the proposed will remain same. No wastewater will be disposed outside the premises during normal operating working days. No significant additional impact is envisaged in air environment due to use of domestic coal/ blended coal in place of 100% imported coal. The proposed project also has the potential of getting registered as a CDM project as it leads to reduction in GHG emissions. Hence, GCEL requests to grant amendment of Environmental Clearance for the proposed change in coal from 100% Imported Coal to 100% Domestic coal/blended coal and 50% Blend for coal sourced through Talabira-I and Ganeshpur Coal Block in the worst case scenario as there is no additional consumption of resources such as land, water and coal and no significant additional increase in pollution load.
