physical changes in the locality (topography, land use, changes in water bodies, etc.)

S.No. Information/Checklist confirmation Yes/No Details thereof (with approximate quantities /rates, wherever possible) with source of information data

1.1 Permanent or temporary change in land use, land cover or topography including increase in intensity of land use (with respect to local land use plan)

Yes Present land is Industrial land. Some of the units are under implementation stage (civil work has started) and some units are yet to be started. The status of implementation has been specified in Page # 1. There are certainly some topographical changes in the site due to implementation of the units.

1.2 Clearance of existing land, vegetation and buildings?

Yes Existing land is more or less flat without many undulations. Not much of plantation in the area earmarked for the project. Hence no clearance of vegetation required during implementation of unimplemented units for which EC has been accorded. However, as a part of greenbelt development, vegetation is being developed in the Plant premises.

1.3 Creation of new land uses? No Present use of land is already converted for the industrial purpose. Moreover, extensive greenbelt will be developed within the plant premises.

1.4 Pre-construction investigations e.g. bore houses, soil testing?

Yes Pre-construction investigation e.g. borehouse, soil testing will be carried out during implementation of unimplemented units for which EC has been accorded.

1.5 Construction works? Yes Construction work has been initiated for some of the units for which E.C. already accorded by honourable Ministry and the construction for the remaining units will be taken up after obtaining the extension of validity & Amendment in Environmental clearance from MoEF&CC and NOC from SPCB.

1.6 Demolition works? No No demolition has been involved for units already implemented / under


7

implementation. Similarly, no demolition work will be involved for unimplemented units.

1.7 Temporary sites used for construction works or housing of construction workers?

No Construction workers will be taken from local areas only for implementation of unimplemented units. Hence no housing is proposed for construction workers.

1.8 Above ground buildings, structures or earthworks including linear structures, cut and fill or excavations

Yes Most of the structures in the project which have been implemented/under implementation are above the ground. Structures in the project which are not implemented will also be above the ground. However excavations are involved for foundations pertaining to units. Excess cut will be used for landfill.

1.9 Underground works including mining or tunneling?

No No mining and tunneling are involved in the proposed project.

1.10 Reclamation works?

No No reclamation works are involved in the proposed project.
