ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

M/s Chintamani Agro Tech India Ltd. proposes to establish Sugar ( 3500 TCD)and 30 MW cogeneration plant at Bijora Tal. and Dist. Yawatmal in Maharashtra.

Details of the proposed project are covered in Chapter-ll whereas; various existing environmental scenarios are presented in Chapter-III. Deliberations and prediction of environmental impacts are made in Chapter IV and its analysis is carried out in Chapter-V.

Environmental Impact Analysis carried out in Chapter-V indicated that (CAIL) would not have any adverse on any of the environmental attributes. On the other hand, it will have beneficial impacts on cropping pattern, rural socio-economic fabric, occupational structure, and availability of electricity as stated in Paragraph 4.2 in Chapter IV provided following measures are undertaken.

The main aim of Environment Management Plan (EMP) is to conserve the resources, minimize the waste generation, treatment of waste, recovery of by products and recycling of material. It also incorporates vegetation and landscapes of open area and also the post project quality monitoring.

6.1      AIR POLLUTION CONTROL   

The only major source of air pollution from the (CAIL) manufacturing process is emission from stack attached to boilers used for steam generation and subsequently power. However, has chimney of 6.6 diameter up to 60 m height and the stack height designed on the basis of CPCB guidelines to ensure proper disposal of gas emissions. Vehicle exhaust emissions from the sugar cane transportation vehicles as well as fugitive dust emissions because of vehicle movement during operational phase shall lead to Air Pollution.

It is recommended to undertake following mitigation measures for air pollution control.

• The Air Pollution control equipment like cyclone and electrostatic precipitator shall be suggested to reduce ground level gaseous emission concentrations.
• Use environmental friendly bullock carts for transportation of sugarcane from the villages to the plant site as far as possible.
• Ensure that all vehicles used in transportation have PUC Certificate.  It is proposed to have an auto exhaust emission monitoring equipment and trained manpower to carry out PUC checks at regular intervals.
