th May 2016. A copy

enclosed at Annexure - I.

Dear Sir,

This has reference to 8th

EAC meeting held on 26th

– 27th

May 2016. During same our

above mentioned project of Fine Chemical Intermediates manufacturing unit by OC

Specialities Pvt. Ltd. (OCSPL) was considered for grant of Environmental Clearance

(EC). During the meeting, certain clarifications/additional information was sought in

respect of our proposal. Accordingly, the points were reflected in minutes of the meeting

(MOM) flashed on MoEFCC website on 24.06.2016. Hereunder, we are giving

compliance/information in respect of points appeared in the MOM.

Point No 1: Ambient air quality for all parameters including CO and VOC to be

reanalyzed for one month.

Compliance: The monitoring period of OCSPL was October 2015 to December 2015 during which only

4 parameters namely PM10, PM2.5, NOx, NH3, CO and SO2 were monitored. On this, the

committee recommended to carry out monitoring for all parameters as per NAAQ standards for

a period of 1 Month. This was done in order to know more about concentrations of remaining

parameters in the ambient air since the OCSPL industry shall be located in Chincholi MIDC,

which in turn is very near to the GIB Sanctuary. This direction by Hon. EAC Members was

accepted immediately. It was informed further by our consultant – Equinox Environments India

Pvt. Ltd. (EEIPL) – that one monitoring assignment w.r.t. its another project M/s. Balaji

Benzochem Pvt. Ltd. (BBPL) was going on in the period from March – April - May 2016 under

2

which all such parameters, as required under NAAQ, were being monitored. The said BBPL

project is located next to OCSPL Project with only a common boundary wall between them. The

TORs for BBPL project were issued in EAC meeting held on 11-12 February 2016 during which

strict orders were given for conducting AAQ Monitoring considering all parameters as per NAAQ

standards. Please refer a copy of BBPL TOR letter enclosed at Annexure – II. Moreover, a

Google image showing locations of OCSPL&BBPL is also enclosed in the same annexure.

Similarities between these two projects and fact about monitoring carried out for all NAAQ

parameters during the recent Mar-May 2016 period were duly discussed with you in a meeting

at your office on 19.07.2016 wherein the request for considering the latest data was made.

Infact, the OCSPL was given TORs in an EAC meeting held on 18 - 19 May 2015 and

subsequently during the Post Monsoon season of Oct - Nov. – Dec. 2015 the monitoring was

conducted.

Now, herewith we are presenting latest data for all the 13 parameters as per NAAQ standards

collected during period of March – April – May 2016 which is a Pre-monsoon period. Since both

the OCSPL and BBPL projects are of same magnitude, same type & category (5f) and located

in same MIDC, side by side on Plot E-18 & E-8/1, the latest data of AAQM not only for 1 Month

but also for the entire season of 3 Months has been presented at Annexure –III which may

please be referred.

Point No. 2: Copy of application submitted for clearance from NBWL.

Compliance:OCSPL has submitted an online application at MoEFCC on 09.02.2016 for procuring

Wildlife Clearance from NBWL. The status of application can be seen as - pending at Chief Wildlife Warden – on following links –

1) http://forestsclearance.nic.in/Timeline_W.aspx?pid=FP/MH/IND/569/2016

2) http://forestsclearance.nic.in/admin/useragency_report_w.aspx?pid=FP/MH/IND/569/2016

At Annexure-IV, present status (time line) and application copy is enclosed which may

be referred for more details.

Point No. 3: Quantify the impact on Great Indian Bustard Sanctuary by the proposed

unit.

Compliance: A detailed analysis and related information w.r.t. identification and quantification of

Impacts due to OCSPL project on the GIB Sanctuary are enclosed at Annexure – V, which may please be referred.

Point No. 4: Commitment to replace coal by biomass Briquettes.

Compliance: As directed by Hon.EAC members, it is here by committed that in the proposed project of

OCSPL for the boiler & TFH, fuel in the form biomass / biomass briquettes shall only be used

and never the coal of any kind shall be consumed.

Point No. 5: Analyze cleaner/green manufacturing process vis-à-vis conventional

process

Compliance: The OCSPL there is a strong belief that in today’s competitive world, SUSTAINABILITY

of the business has become a big challenge for all the industries. Environmentally

sustainable solutions which are also economically viable and sustainable are need of

the hour. However, when there are existing producers of any product who are providing

their product at competitive pricing following the traditional route of synthesis to the

customer, then for a new entrant the challenge is to innovate to provide better cost

structure to the customers.Based on this philosophy, our research team is focused to

keep working on innovative ideas, to establish alternate route of synthesis which is

'Green' i.e. environmentally sustainable and at the same time offer better cost structure

to the customer.However, such research needs time, reaction experience and dedicated

efforts to adapt processes which are more environmentally sustainable than the

traditional ones.

In following Table, an analysis and comparison between manufacturing methods under

conventional routes and those to be adopted in OCSPL project (cleaner technologies)

are presentedfor 4 products. These products have been successfully tried in our R&D

Lab and planned to be launched on commercial scale in our proposed project -

Sr. No.

Name of Product Traditional Route/Method OCSPL Route/Method

1. 2,3 Dichloropyridine

Diazotization of 3-Amino

Pyridine using Toxic Gas

Chlorine (Cl2) & performing

Sandmeyer reaction using

heavy metal Cuprous chloride

as catalyst. This results in

HCl fumes generation and

residual heavy metal copper

waste.

Diazotization of 3-Amino

Pyridine using HCL with

Hydrogen peroxide generating

& using Chlorine (Cl2) within

the reaction and performing

Sandmeyer reaction using non-

heavy metal Iron based

catalyst. This process removes HCL fumes generation and there will be no heavy metal residual waste generation.

4

Sr. No.


2. Methyl-2-Chloro Phenyl Acetate

Esterification of 2-Chloro

Phenyl acetic acid with

methanol and excess

Sulphuric Acid (H2SO4)

resulting in huge acidic

aqueous waste.

Esterification of 2-Chlorophenyl

acetic acid with methanol using

Cation Resin instead of

Sulphuric acid and filtering the

resin for recycling after

dehydration in the next batch.

This process avoids the generation of huge acidic aqueous waste.

3. 2,6 Dichlorobenzoyl Chloride

Oxidation of 2,6

Dichlorobenzaldehyde using

Nitric Acid 70% to make 2,6

Dichloro Benzoic Acid and

then reaction with Thionyl

Chloride in the presence of

solvents like Mono Chloro

Benzene (MCB) resulting in

VOC emissions. This is multi

step reaction results in

generation of Nitrous acid

fumes resulting in acidic

waste or nitrous salt

generation.

OCSPL have developed an

innovative route to direct

reaction of 2,6

Dichlorobenzalyde with

Chlorine gas in the presence of

a catalyst without using any

solvent. This is a one-pot process without any solvent and it would generate only HCl which will be scrubbed into water to make HCL 30% solution which can be used for any other process where it is required.

4. Sodium Bromide Reacting Hydrobromic Acid

(HBr) with Sodium Hydroxide

to produce Sodium Bromide.

HBr is highly toxic substance

and have high handling

hazard.

Reacting Zinc Bromide with

Sodium Hydroxide to produce

Bromide which is an acidic and

hazardous compound into an

environment friendly product –

Sodium Bromide, which gets

used for water treatment

application and Zinc Hydroxide

would be used to make either

Zinc oxide (application in tyre

and medicinal use) OR Zinc

Sulphate (application as

fertilizer or pharmaceutical

use.) The entire process is environment friendly and doesn’t generate any waste.

5

Sr. No.


5. Para BromoPhenetole

Alkylation of phenol to get

phenetole and bromination

using Elemental Bromine Br2

in the presence of Ethylene

Dichloride

For Alkylation, we shall be

using phase transfer catalyst

which will help us improve the

yield and for bromination

instead of using Elemental

Bromine Br2, we shall be using

Hydrobromic Acid with

Hydrogen peroxide so that we

consume complete bromine

generated in situ. We shall be

replacing the highly hazardous

Bromine with Hydrobromic Acid

which is relatively very easy to

handle.

6. Para Bromo Anisole

Bromination of Anisole using

Elemental Bromine Br2.

For bromination instead of

using Elemental Bromine Br2,

we shall be using Hydrobromic

Acid with Hydrogen peroxide

so that we consume complete

bromine generated in situ. We

shall be replacing the highly

hazardous Bromine with

Hydrobromic Acid which is

relatively very easy to handle.

7. Indoline Pressure reaction of Ortho

Chloro Benzylamine (OCBA)

with ammonia and copper

catalyst resulting in

generation of heavy metal

waste.

We shall be doing Cyclisation

of OCBA with non-heavy metal

based catalyst. Hence, there

will be no need for pressure

reaction and the catalyst can

be recycled for re-use.

Apart from the products listed above, for all other products also, our R & D team will be

working continuously to keep on improving the existing processes and strive to find an

innovative solution which will make the process more Environment-friendly and

economically viable so that customers can accept our product against the competition.

For details on traditional manufacturing processes for remaining products, information is

furnished in Annexure-VI, which may be referred.

ANNEXURE - V

Battelle Environmental Evaluation System (BEES) for OCSPL Project

Battelle Environmental Evaluation System (BEES) has been used for evaluation of impacts

arising out of different project activities. The BEES is a simple yet very effective methodology

for conducting environmental impact analysis. It is based on a hierarchical assessment of

environmental quality indicators. The system incorporates classification consisting of four

levels-

Level I: Categories,

Level II: Components,

Level III: Parameters, and

Level IV: Measurements.

Each Category (Level I) is divided into several components, each Component (Level II) into

several parameters, and each Parameter (Level III) into one or more measurements. The

Environmental Evaluation System (EES) identifies a total of four (4) categories, twenty (15)

components and fifty six (56) parameters.

BEES assessment for environmental impacts due to the proposed activities of OCSPL is

based on commensurate "environmental impact units (EIU)". Two EIU scores are produced,

one 'with' and another 'without' the proposed project activities. The difference between the

two scores is a measure of the environmental impact. The scores are based on magnitude

and importance of specific impacts.

In addition to the EIU scores, the EES labels major adverse environmental impacts with a

"red flag." These flags point to fragile elements of the environment, for which more detailed

studies are warranted.

Table 1 shows a complete list of categories, components, and parameters of the Battelle

EES. Column 1 shows the four (4) categories, Column 2 shows the fifteen (15) components,

and Column 3 shows the fifty six (56) parameters.

The EES methodology is based on assigning importance unit to each of the parameters.

Collectively, these "importance units" are referred to as "parameter importance units" or

PIUs. Parameters have been assigned important weights by an interdisciplinary team of

experts based on the ranked-pair wise comparison techniques. A total of 1000 PIUs are

distributed among the 56 parameters based on value judgments. The individual PIUs are

shown in Column 4 of Table 1, the summation component PIUs are shown in Column 5, and

the summation category PIUs are shown in Column 6. Effectively, for each parameter i, its

(PIU)i represents a weight wi

Each PIUi or wi requires a specific quantitative measurement. The methodology converts

different measurements into common units by means of a scalar or "value function." A scalar

has the specific measurement on x-axis and a common environmental quality scale or

"value" on the y-axis. The latter varies in the range 0 ≤ Vi ≤ 1. A value of Vi = 0 indicates very

poor quality, while Vi = 1 indicates very good quality.

Values of Vi = Vi, 0 are obtained for conditions 'without' the project, and Vi = Vi, 1 for conditions

'with' the project. The condition 'without' the project represents the current condition, while

that 'with' the project represents the predicted future condition. The environmental impact

EIis evaluated as follows:

EI = ∑ [ Vi,1wi ] - ∑ [ Vi,0wi ]for i = 1 to n, where n = number of parameters (56).

For EI> 0, the situation 'with' the project will better than 'without' the project, indicating that

the project has positive environmental benefits. Conversely, for EI< 0, the situation 'with' the

project is worse than 'without' the project, indicating that the project has negative

environmental benefits, i.e. certain negative impacts. A large negative value of EI indicates

the existence of substantial negative impacts.

The assigned weights or PIU's represent the relative importance of each parameter within

the overall system. Once established, they should be kept constant; otherwise, the

environmental impact assessment would be difficult to replicate.

The potential problem areas are represented by those parameters for which the Vi value

changes significantly in the adverse direction, as measured by the following relation (in

percent)-

ΔVi (%) = 100 (Vi,0 - Vi,1) / Vi, 0

These parameters are tagged with 'red flags' to indicate potential problems which may

warrant more detailed attention. For parameters in the ecology category, a minor red flag

applies when 5% <ΔVi< 10%; a major red flag when ΔVi> 10%. In all other categories, a

minor red flag applies when ΔVi< 30% whereas a major red flag when ΔVi ≥ 30%. The EES

can be applied for the evaluation of project impacts, to select specific alternatives, or during

the planning process to minimize potential adverse impacts of proposed projects. In the

latter case, a feedback loop is used to continually modify the proposed project through

successive iterations. Projects developed with the help of EES are expected not only to

minimize environmental impacts, but also help improve selected portions of the environment

Note: Earlier the Sanctuary Area was 1229.24 Sq. Km. which has been reduced to 366.73 Sq. Km. recently vide Govt. Notification No. No.WLP-0614/CR-ll11F-1 dated 05.03.2016.

# - In the Battelle EES, the potential problem areas are represented by those parameters for which the V i value changes significantly in the adverse direction, as measured by the following relation (negative values, in percent)

ΔV i, r = 100 [V i,1 - V i,0 ] / V i,0.

These parameters are tagged with 'red flags' to indicate potential problems which may warrant more detailed attention. For parameters in the ecology category, a minor red flag applies when 5% <ΔVi,r ≤ 10%, and a major red flag when ΔVi,r> 10 %. In all other categories, a minor red flag applies when ΔVi,r ≤ 30% or ΔVi ≤ 0.1, and a major red flag when ΔVi,r> 30% or ΔVi> 0.1.
