Respected shri Hardik shah saheb, We have reviewed part of EIA report , which is uploaded on GPCB web site.

With due respect to all regulatory authorities, project proponent, environment consultant, we forward herewith our written response in a positive way for your kind information and for necessary action as applicable to assure to 'public', EIA report as a quality report, (01) GPCB web site refers first word z s Consortium, this word also refers in B Addil.

TOR 3 EIA paqe 5 ,( sr paqe E l 6UT on first paqe of EIA report ( sr paqe C), this word is SILENT, as such, this may be a minor lapse, i t may not carry any waightage, BUT, quality point of ,view, this sounds some thing.

(02) Referring to EIA paqe v, 'B addl.ToR sr. no. 5 ( sr. paqe E),especially demanding, to incorporate QCI-NABET ACCREDITED CERTIFICATE, but referring to EIA paqe 13 sr. paqe F, as regards to mandatory TOR compliance is concerned, whv this part Is SILENT ( sr. paqe F)!!! and without any firm disclosure on compliance part, o n L A paqe vi, ( sr. paqe G) proponent has submitted QCI- NABET document SCHEME & SCOPE of ACCREDITATION, we presume, according to proponent, this document may be i n order in line with compliance of 'B addl.ToR sr. no. 5', BUT we are confused, as we d o not f ind any word like 'CERTIFICATE' on this document, so we request for a further confirmation from CONCERNED REGULATORY AUTHORITY. that this is a mandatory document which is demanded under a mandatory 'B addl. TOR sr no 5 ' 1 sr. paqe. E), OR NOT.

EPH-, of mls consortium Pan India consultants pvt Itd, dist Patan, Gujarat

page 02102 Further to mention that, i n EIA report, there is no other document to justify referred TOR compliance

(03)Though w e have not directly approached to environment consultant, SURPRISINGLY he is directly appraising us, under e mail t o us, ( sr. paqe H) wi th one more document, BUTthat is the 6 month old QCI-NABET correspondence letter wi th 't & c' apply and asking to clear all the dues, sr paae. I 1

Again we are confused with one more document, we request CONCERNED REGULATORY AUTHORITY t o clarify whether this document justifies mandatory referred TOR compliance or not.!!!.

Can consultant directly approach us for environment public hearing issue? (04)Can concerned REGULATORY AUTHORITY confirm whether declaration as submitted

o n EIA paqe no ( not qiven) but pdf p a q e l l ( sr. no. D ), IS IN ORDER. OR there Is a lapse on their part.

In short, we request CONCERNED REGULATORY AUTHORITY to resolve our confusion for a better clarity on part of referred mandatory TOR compliance & declaration EIA paqe II ( sr. paae D ) OR otherwise, if any of concerned REGULATORY AUTHORITY is of the opinlon that documents as submitted in EIA report or to us under an e mai l ( sr.paqe I 1, Is very wel l In order towards a referred TOR compliance, & declaration, pl. confirm to us o n return reply.

OUR WRllTEN RESPONSE IS ONLY TO CLEAR & RESOLVE OUR CONFUSION. HOPE, YOU WILL APPRECIATE OUR FEED BACK - AND IF MoEF I GPCB ACCEPTS SUCH DOCUMENT, BETTER TO AMEND THE TOR for a better clarity &transparency, so that no query can be raised by PUBLIC'.

All supporting documents ( sr. page C to J with YELOW icon) are attached herewith for your ready reference.

As a system, It should be noted that, as we have forwarded our written response to MS- GPCB only, i n similar way, proponent I concerned regulatory authority should forward their written reply to MS-GPCB referring to my letter reference, which I wil l read when MOM wi l l be released on GPCB web site or copy of same can be forwarded to me for my information.

We are positive, so pl. do contact us for any more clarification on our feed back or for any further information.

We welcome all proiects i n Guiarat, supported by a quality EIA repott ~;/ith better transparency, wi th cent % TOR compliance and with no major technical query being attracted from EIA report prepared by QCI-NABET Acredited environment consultant, and we presume, this is the environment minister's concept of retainlng a QCI-NABET accredited environment consultant t o prepare an EIA report - w e appreciate this concept.

Sub: EPH of MIS. Consortium Pan India Pvt. Ltd for proposed exploratory drilling and seismic survey of four (04) wells in Block CB-ONN- 201015 at district Patan and Mehsana. (For a part patan district) to be held on 3rd July 2015.

Sir,

We have studied the draft EIA report of the above-mentioned project. Following are our observation/comments/questions regarding project and draft EIA report.

1. Draft EIA report mention baseline environinental scenario for the area. It is our strong demand that post project monitoring of air, water and soil sample must be carried out so that actual damage can be assessed.

2. How to dispose wastewater, sludge, contaminated soil and drilling mud in each well?

3. What measures will be taken to ensure that the air emissions and noise from vehicular movement, gene]-ators does not disturb the local flora and fauna?

4. Please give details regarding actual source of water and the p e r ~ ~ i s s i o n for the withdrawal of water from the Competent Authorityas mentioned in TOR 21.

5 . What is the best practice or standards of water utilization for exploratory drilling of a well in this sector as there will be wide difference between water usage for exploratory drilling of one well from project to pl-oject?

6. What will be the effect on groundwater and how will it be remediated if it is contaminated?

7. Why baseline study was started even before issuance of TOR? Please give exact dates of monitoring of each samples of ambient air, water, noise and soil monitoring.

8. If commercial level oil or other hydrocarbon would be found in any well; for how long temporary acquisition of land will continue?

9. The draft EIA does not explore the possibility of TENORM (technologically enhanced naturally occurring radioactive material),radioactive contamination which may be exposed to surface with waste produced during oil drilling and exploration. Please comment.

10. Please give correct details for water requirement and waste water generation.

11. Whether any temporary relocation of surrounding population has been involved if commercial level hydrocarbon found out?

12. How many local people will get employment through this proposed project'? Please give classification of skilled and unskilled manpower.

13. What types of the socio-economic developn~ent activities industry will take up as a part of CSR activity?

Yours truly,

Mahes h Pandya
