Sub: Expansion of Sponge Iron from 350 TPD to 700 TPD and setting up of coal Washery (0.35 MMTPA), Power Plant (36 MW), Induction Furnace (8 No. X 12 T), Ladle Refining Furnace (2 No. X30 T), VOD/AOD (2 No. X 30 T) and Continuous Casting Machine (6/11 double strand 2 No.) at Plot No. 98, Industrial Estate, Kalunga, District Sundergarh, Orissa by M/s. Nixon Steel & Power limited. – TOR reg.

Sir,

Kindly refer to your letter No. NIXON/MOEF/TOR/01 dated April 29, 2008 alongwith Form-I and prefeasibility report along with draft TORs for preparation of Environmental Impact Assessment Report as per the EIA Notification, 2006.

Draft Terms of Reference for preparation of EIA/EMP have been discussed in 86 th meeting of the Expert Appraisal Committee (Industry) held during 20th to 22nd October, 2008. The Committee finalised the following TORs for the cement Plant:

1. Present land use should be prepared based on satellite imagery for 10 km radius around the plant.

2. Location of national parks / wildlife sanctuary within 10 km. radius should specifically be mentioned.
