5 (II) ACTIVITY 1. Construction, operation or decommissioning of the Project involving actions, which will cause physical changes in the locality (topography, land use, changes in water bodies, etc.) S.. Information/Checklist confirmation / 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) Present use of land is Industrial. Some of the units are already in operation/ implemented and some are under implementation. The status of implementation has been specified in Page # 1 of Form-1. There are certainly some topographical changes in the site due to implementation of the remaining unimplemented units. 1.2 Clearance of existing land, vegetation and buildings? Existing land is more or less flat without many undulations. t much of plantation in the area earmarked in the project site. Hence no clearance of vegetation required during construction of the remaining unimplemented units. However, as a part of greenbelt development, vegetation is being developed in the Plant premises. 1.3 Creation of new land uses? Present use of land is already converted 1.4 Pre-construction investigations e.g. bore houses, soil testing? for the industrial purpose. Moreover, extensive greenbelt will be developed within the plant premises. Investigations have been carried out for soil for already implemented units in the area earmarked for activity along with water analysis. 1.5 Construction works? Construction work has been taken up for some of the units for which E.C. already accorded by honorable Ministry and the construction for the remaining units will be taken up after obtaining the extension of validity of Environmental clearance from MoEF&CC. 1.6 Demolition works? demolition has been involved for units already implemented / under implementation. Similarly, no demolition work will be involved for unimplemented units. 1.7 Temporary sites used for construction Construction workers are being taken from 4

6 works or housing of construction workers? 1.8 Above ground buildings, structures or earthworks including linear structures, cut and fill or excavations 1.9 Underground works including mining or tunneling? local areas only for implementation of units. Hence no housing is proposed for construction workers. 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 project. Excess cut will be used for landfill. mining and tunneling are involved for units pertaining to project which have been implemented / under implementation. Similarly, no mining or tunneling will be involved in the unimplemented units Reclamation works? reclamation works are involved for units pertaining to project which have been implemented/under implementation.
