Sub: 'Treatment and disposal of Common Effluent and Hazardous Solid Wastefacilities' at KIADB Industrial Area, Sompura, Dobaspet, NelamangalaTaluk, Bangalore Rural District (Karnataka) by MIs Bangalore Eco ParkPvt Ltd - Environmental Clearance for capacity enhancement - Reg.

Sir,

This has reference to your application 25.02.2015, submitting the abovementioned proposal to this Ministry for grant of Environmental Clearance (EC) interms of the provisions of the Environment Impact Assessment Notification (EIA),2006 under the Environment (Protection), Act, 1986.

2. The proposal for capacity enhancement of 'Treatment and disposal ofCommon Effluent and Hazardous Solid Waste facilities' at KIADB IndustrialArea, Sompura, 1st Stage Dobaspet, Nelamangala Taluk, Bangalore RuralDistrict (Karnataka) by MIs Bangalore Eco Park Pvt Ltd, was considered by theExpert Appraisal Committee (EAC)in the Ministry for Infrastructure Development,Coastal Regulation Zone, Buildingj Construction and Miscellaneous projects, in its147thmeeting held on 23rd - 24th April, 2015.

3. The details of the project, as per the documents submitted by the ProjectProponents (PP), and also as informed during the above said EAC meeting, arereported to be as under:-

(i) Environmental Clearance has been obtained from MoEF for Incineratorcapacity 200kgjhr vide letter F.No.10-2j2010-IA.III dated 25.10.2010.(ii) The project was accorded TOR for capacity enhancement of 'Treatment anddisposal of Common Effluent and Hazardous Solid Waste facilities' at KIADBIndustrial Area, Sompura, 1st Stage Dobaspet, Nelamangala Taluk, Bangalore RuralDistrict (Karnataka) vide letter no. F.No.10-2j2010-IA.III dated 21.08.2013.(iii) The present proposal is for enhancement of capacity for treatment anddisposal of common effluent and hazardous solid waste facilities in terms ofIncinerator capacity from 200 to 500 Kgjhr & to Evaporate 100 KLDthrough ForcedEvaporation .

.~ (iv) The area for proposed incinerator is located at Plot no. 296B, Karnataka~ industrial Area (KIADB),Sompura (V)1ststage, Dabaspet (T),Bangalore (D).~ (v) The total land allotted by Karnataka Industrial Area Development Board. (KIADB)is 4 Acres. The site is well connected in all the aspects for industries to

dispose of the hazardous solid waste. The nearest highway is Tumkur, Bangalore NH4 West from the site and Dobaspet to Doddaballapur SH-207 is adjacent to the sitein South. Nearest railway station is Dobaspet Railway Station about 5 Km SouthEast.(vi) The project components involved are Incinerator, Compressors, Process LogicControl, MCCroom and Tank Farms.(vii) The total water requirement for the facility is 60 KLD and will be supplied byKIADB.It is estimated that the wastewater generation will be 20 KLD, from variousstages of the operation and most of the wastewater is treated and recycled. Theindustrial effluent of about 20 KLD from Scrubber bleed will be generated and thesame will be recycled to spray drier and there will be no discharge of processeffluent. Zero discharge will be maintained.(viii) The ash generated in the incinerator is considered as a hazardous solid waste.The incinerator ash will be collected in specified containers and stored in the pre-designated totally enclosed storage yards lined with HDPE and sent to KSPCBauthorized agency for disposal. The unit shall comply with the Hazardous WasteManagement rules 2008, the procedures for handling hazardous waste.(ix) Energy conservation measures such as use of CFLjLED lights, solar panels forstreet lighting are proposed.(x) A greenbelt of 15 m wide will is provided along the boundary of the project.Overall 33 % of the total area will be developed as greenbelt (open areas, along theroads, road junctions).(xi) Parking facility will be provided for employees near the main entrance.During construction around 40 Nos. and during operation around 50 nos.(xii) The total cost of the project includes machinery and land is Rs 4.9 Crores.(xiii) The project site is not situated in any Critically Polluted Area.(xiv) Public Hearing is waived off for this proposed project, because the unit isestablished in notified industrial area. There is no CRZ Area falling under projectcover area.(xv) Forest land: No issue of diversion of forest land is involved in the project. Thisproject does not involve tree cutting as this is open dry land.(xvi) Wildlife issues: No Eco-Sensitive Zone falls within 10 Km boundary of theproject.(xvii) Employment will be given to the local youth based on the qualification andexperrerice.(xviii)Project benefit: From the proposed project the major benefits, includeimproving the degraded environment by establishing an incinerator facility toenhance;

• The proposed project facilitates better management of the industrial wastes.It will be the showcase for other states for management of hazardous wastewith additional benefit of green and clean Environment.It minimizes the pollution load on environment from industrial hazardouswaste.Compliance with prescribed regulatory norms which in turn avert the risk ofclosure on account of violation of rules.It reduces the number of hazardous waste dump sites in the area and alsoeliminates the pollution potential.The management of wastes is relatively easier & economically viable atcommon facility.Cost of environmental monitoring is less at common facility.
