We have made proper arrangements for storage of hazardous waste. Covered shed with concrete floor, all round garland drain and catch pit has been organized for safe storage before disposal to authorize recyclers.

Used/Waste Oil Storage Shed

We have stored char inside our plant premises. We have reclaimed the char dump area with green coverage except the present active portion.

Char Dump before Reclamation Char Dump after Reclamation We have permission for ash disposal into mine void as well as abandoned stone queries in nearby areas. We have started disposing fly ash into mine void and bottom ash into abandoned stone queries. At mine void we have made one of the best arrangements for fly ash disposing into mine void which ensures absolute pollution frees ash disposal into mine. Ash is passed through ash conditioning system where water is mixed with ash to make it slurry before disposing into mine. This prevents any ash emission into atmosphere thus ensure pollution free ash disposal into mine. This has been appreciated by SPCB and other statutory bodies. The detail report on fly ash disposal at mine void is enclosed as annexure – 6

PART – I

Any other particulars undertaken for improving the quality of environment (ongoing)

Installation of organic waste converter for municipal waste management. Municipal waste is an issue and nuisance if not managed properly. At present we are handling it via incinerator. All kind of wastes including biodegradable wastes are treated in incinerator. But since biodegradable waste has potential to be converted into manure, now we are planning that biodegradable waste should be separated and converted into manure. For this we are looking for technologies and will adopt best possible.

Installation of mist beam system

In SMS Slag handling area lots of dust is generated which needs to be handled effectively so that ambient air quality of the area is not disturbed. With this aim we have decided to procure a mist beam water jet system which will have through about 30 meter and cover entire dusty area to make dust settle and maintain ambient air pollution free. Presently we are taking trial and if found effective will go for the same.

Ash slurry disposal to mine void Presently ash is being disposed into mine void via bulkers and stone quarries via covered trucks. But our final planning is to lay pipe from plant to mine void having distance of 32 Km. All necessary permissions have been obtained from various govt. organizations, pipes and pumps have also been procured and work has started inside the plant. Hopefully in next 2 years time pipelines will be laid and entire ash will go to mine void via pipelines. Water from mine void will be recycled back to plant.

Mechanized housekeeping practiced in the entire plant areas. Housekeeping is a very important aspect in cleanliness of the industrial plant. We are trying to mechanize all our industrial housekeeping like floor cleaning, drains cleaning and roads sweeping. We have procured many mechanized housekeeping equipments like road sweeping machines, excavator for drain cleaning, bobcats for muck and waste lifting, hyvas for transportation of waste etc. very shortly we are going to procure sewer suction machine cum jet cleaner which will help in cleaning of septic tanks and also jammed culverts etc. all waste CG sheets etc. are lifted and compacted by machine so that it is easy to handle and put in melting furnace. We are also planning to buy a municipal waste compactor so that collection and transportation becomes handy.

Road Sweeping Machines

Establishing of ETP # 3 A new ETP of 12000 m3 capacity is under construction near coke oven 2 to treat the surface run off. After treatment water will be recycled back to process to reduce make up water consumption and achieve zero discharge. However, during rains, treated water will go out.

Effluent Treatment Plant near Coke Oven -2

16

Roads construction In plant we have about 40 kms of roads and out of that about 35 Kms are now concreted and work is under progress on rest of the roads. Along the roads drains have also been established and roadside avenue plantation has been established inside the complex.

Sewage Treatment Plant at BF-1 area. In plant we have total 4 nos. of STPs to treat sewage. The treated water is used for watering of green areas. A new STP is being established in BF1 area. Treated water shall be completely utilized for watering of green areas.

Sibapur ash dump reclamation. Initially we used to dump ash at a designated place and it became an ash mound. It reclamation was a challenge to us but we decided to make it one of the best reclaimed ash mound. Accordingly we started its reclamation and followed all C-Farm guidelines for ash dump/mound management. Ash mound was made in different layer with benches at different intervals and proper slope was maintained. Ash was covered with soil and then compacted. Garland drain was provided to channelize runoff water. At slope vegetation was provided so that erosion is minimized in first year itself. Then proper tree plantation has also been done on top and slope so that ash mound becomes totally green with enriched ecological wealth. In time to come we will keep on enriching it with variety of botanical species to enrich biodiversity and we are sure in future birds will make their home here and it will one of the good examples of ecological reclamation of ash dump sites.

Water meters to measure water consumption at various processes.

Water conservation is one of our endeavour so that this natural resource can be

saved for future generation. We are installing water flow meters in all water

consuming lines in different departments so that we can monitor their water

consumption and check whether they are using less or more and accordingly control

the water feed. This will avoid wastage and also ensure water optimization for various

processes and ultimately help us in optimizing water consumption, minimizing water

wastage and ensure water conservation to a large extent.

Water Flow Meter

Waste to manure

We have installed a converter to transform organic waste into manure in our

complex. All type of bio degradable wastes including canteen wastes are treated and

converted into good quality manure for our horticulture activities.

Large scale plantation program

Greenery is our passion. We are trying to green every inch of our space available in

our complex. Along the boundary we are planting trees to create green belt and in

between units, gardens are being established to enhance the green coverage inside

the complex which also enhances aesthetics. We are also contacting local

government. authorities to give us areas for tree plantation to demonstrate our

commitment towards environment management and to protect ecological wealth of

the area. Accordingly, we are doing tree plantation outside our complex also.

19

We have planted about 3.49 lakh of plant in and around the plant premises covering

about 360 acres which is about 24.08% of total plant area.

We have also distributed, free of cost, 45954 nos. of sapling to nearby educational

institutions, local villagers/Panchayat.
