1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

M/s Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) is a Government of India, premier Public Sector

Organisation / Company and is engaged in the business of refining, transporting and

marketing of petroleum products including Motor Spirit, HSD and SKO in the country. It is

the leading Indian corporate in the Fortune 'Global 500' listing, which ranked at the 98th

position in the year 2013. IOCL is having several import, storage and distribution/marketing

terminals in the country with Kochi and Calicut as predominant terminals in Kerala for

distribution covering more than 10 districts.

The received tankaged products are supplied to major market consumers. The growth in

demand of various petroleum products for commercial use and transportation is increasing at

a rapid pace everywhere in the country including southern states of India. To cope up with

the increasing demand, Public Sector Oil Companies are setting up new storage and

distribution facilities as well as augmenting their existing capacities. Accordingly, IOCL has

also initiated the process of augmenting their existing storage and distribution/marketing

facilities.

IOCL, Kochi Terminal facility was established in 1998 at Irumpanam with the existing

tankage capacity of 76226 KL, and 2 nos of 600 mm dock lines for HSD/SKO and

Naphtha/MS commissioned on in 2005 and 2006 respectively. Receipt of products is from

BPCL - Kochi Refinery /Tankers through pipelines. Dispatch of products by Tank Trucks to

Retail Outlets/Consumers.

With the increasing demand IOCL proposes an augmentation of the terminal storage facilities

comprising construction of new tanks and re-allocation of existing tanks within the existing

facility at Irumpanam, Thiruvankulam Village, Thripunithura Municipality, Ernakulam

District, Kochi Terminal.

The proposed project is being carried out by M/s Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL)

(land details enclosed), situated at 13 km from Ernakulam, 45 km from Kottayam and 62 km

from Thrissur. This is an existing petroleum products importation, storage and

distribution/marketing facility. To meet the market demands Expansion and Reallocation of

7

Tanks of petroleum products storage facility has been proposed. Land documents are

enclosed as Annexure 2.

The terminal project site has been declared as ‘Prohibited Place’by Vide Gazette Notification

No. G.O. (MS) No.79/99/Home dated 21.5.1999, Govt. of Kerala and as ‘Prohibited Place’

for Restriction of entry and control of photography.

There has not been any expansion of storage capacities since establishment of IOCL Kochi

facility.

An Environmental Clearance (J-16011/50/2001-IA-III) under EIA notification, 2006 exists

for products transfer through Dock line from Tanker Berth at Cochin Port to Irumpanam

Marketing Terminal of IOCL, issued by the then Ministry of Environment and Forests

(MoEF) in 2003. Facility has also been awarded an Integrated Consent to Operate (CTO) by

KSPCB (R16ERRCTOA1019586) in 2016. There is also a revised Consent Order for

Petroleum Sludge Disposal from KSPCB (R16ERRCTOA10195860, issued in 2016. IOCL

has also been granted with a PESO License (P/HQ/KL/15/305 (14508)) valid till 31.12.2020.

Permission is also granted by PESO to operate the terminal during night hours on

18/02/2013. Integrated CTO for the facility is valid till 30.06.2018. All licenses are enclosed

in Annexure 3.

3.7.3 Air Pollution Control System and Management

There is no production, and only receipt, storage, filling and distribution of Motor Spirit,

High Speed Diesel and SKO will be done in a closed circuit without causing any effect to

humans and environment. Transfer of petroleum products will be done in a closed system

involving negligible emissions of noxious substances. DG set emissions will be covered by

maintaining sufficient stack heights to minimum 30m AGL in line with SPCB norms.

Moreover, HSD (High Speed Diesel) with sulphur content of < 0.05 % will be used for DG

sets.

There may be small amounts of suspended dust particles in air during construction phase

which will be controlled by dust suppression measures like sprinkling of water. Gases

generated during welding of steel structures of tanks will be negligible and will pose no risk

to environment. The air pollution sources are given in Table 3-5.

4.3 Land Topography

Ernakulam town serves as the District Head Quarters. Location of Kochi forms an important

destination for export and import business and tourism as it is very close to Arabian Sea and

backwaters, and is well connected by a network of inter-district highways connecting

Trivandrum, Salem, Coimbatore, Bangalore, Trichy & Madurai Districts.

Kochi city is located at the sea mouth of seven major rivers which start from the Western

Ghats and travel through Kerala’s midlands, lowlands and coastal areas to drain out into

the Arabian Sea. Kochi lies at the northern end of a narrow neck of land, about 19 km long

and less than 1.6 km wide in many places, and is separated from the mainland by inlets from

the Arabian Sea and by the estuaries of rivers draining from the Western Ghats.

38

The river systems are complicated to some extent due to several hills and valleys and its

season is dependent on monsoonal rainfalls. Periyar River is of importance when Kochi is

described.

4.4 Land use pattern

IOCL Kochi has already established a petroleum products import, storage and

distribution/marketing facility at Irumpanam, Thiruvankulam Village, Thripunithura

Municipality, Ernakulam District, Kerala. The proposed project is an Expansion and

Reallocation of Tanks of the storage facility within the existing premises. Land documents

are enclosed as Annexure 2.

The project is notified as ‘Prohibited Place’ by Vide GazetteNotification No. G.O. (MS)

No.79/99/Home dated 21.5.1999, Govt. of Kerala and as ‘Prohibited Place’ for Restriction of

entry and control of photography.

Hence, concern over the use of agriculture land, non-agriculture land, forest land and water

bodies does not arise. The land use pattern of the study area is given in Figure 4-3 and

Table 4-6.

10. CONCLUSION

The proposed project is for construction of new tanks and reallocation of existing tank

facilities for Motor Spirit, High Speed Diesel and SKO storage.

Since the proposed expansion is within the existing project premises, there will not be

any change in land use, and no significant increase in effluent generation. However,

there is increase in hazardous waste generation due to addition of storage tanks. There

is no significant increase in air emissions.

The project site shall require no displacement of habitation as it is located away from

the habitation areas and the expansion is proposed within the existing land area only.

Socio-economic benefits to the local folk as it would provide both direct and indirect

employment in the operation of the plant.

There will be positive impacts on social conditions in and around the site due to the

proposed assignment.

The marginal impact due to the proposed assignment will be fully mitigated by the

Environmental Management Plan (EMP).
