2 1.2 NEED FOR THE PROJECT & ITS IMPORTANCE Oil marketing companies have projected an increase in demand of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) in future due to increase in its domestic use. The demand is likely to increase substantially over the years to come. Even in the present scenario it is very difficult to meet the market demand of Jodhpur and adjoining areas by Indian Oil Corporation Limited. As per directive of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Government of India, different Oil companies are required to augment / construct new facilities to meet the growing demand. Over the last five years, there has been continuous increase in capacity utilization of the bottling plant. In line with the requirement envisaged and to ensure fulfillment of demand, Indian Oil Corporation Limited proposes to construct new LPG Bottling Plant near Jodhpur with a storage capacity of 3 X 600 MT. This proposed plant shall meet the short supply of LPG Cylinders in and around Jodhpur. This will also meet the present and future house hold demands of people 1.3 DESCRIPTION OF CURRENT PROPOSAL The present proposal has been submitted to SEIAA Rajasthan for obtaining EC for the proposed bulk LPG storage capacity of 1800 MT to achieve the LPG bottling throughput of 120 TMTPA. The throughput will be achieved by installing an Electronic carousel having 2x 24 filling station within the Proposed Project site. 1.4 SITE ANALYSIS M/s Indian Oil Corporation Limited has proposed to set up a LPG Bottling Plant at Khasra no: 3, Village- Ujaliya Tehsil, Bewari, Jodhpur District, and Rajasthan State.

Average annual rainfall of the district is 314mm. About 80% of the total rainfall is received during the period from June-September. Droughts are quite common in the district. RELATIVE HUMIDITY The relative humidity is on an average between 19 and 64% GEOMORPHOLOGY Jodhpur district forms part of Great Thar Desert of Rajasthan. In this arid region, there are sand dunes, alluvial areas dotted with few hillocks and hill chains scattered in the area. In the eastern part of the district, the area between Bilara and Jodhpur is covered by alluvium deposited due to the fluvial action of Luni river system. The eastern part of the district exhibits gentle undulating topography interrupted by small ridges of hard rocks. The general elevation of plains varies from 300 m amsl in north to 150 m amsl in south. Regional slope is from north-east towards southwest direction. Orientation of alluvial plain area follows the Luni River and its tributaries. Sand dunes occupy a major part of the district north of Vindhyan escarpment in northern and northwestern part of the district. The sand dunes are transverse and longitudinal type formed due to aeolian action and overlies the denuded consolidated formations. Ridges composed of comparatively resistive rocks like granite, rhyolite and Jodhpur sandstone are found extending from Shergarh in the west to Bilara in the east. The alluvial and sand filled valleys are separated by the ridges whose crest elevation ranges from 325 to 460 m amsl. In the northern part of the district, highest peak of the hill is 284 m amsl. Presence of boulder bed exhibit striking plain topography around Bap and low lying outcrops of limestone, shale and sandstone layers are observed part of the district near Phalodi.

20 1.28 DESCRIPTION OF MOUNDED BULLETS LPG is normally stored in above ground storage mainly spheres and cylindrical tanks, namely, bullets & Horton spheres, the advantage being their accessibility for regular inspection and maintenance which is important for such storage for hazardous service. But these storages are susceptible to fire impingement and can give rise to Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosions (BLEVE). The reason for selecting mounded or buried bullets for LPG storage is to protect them from direct flame impingement caused by any eventual fire in the surroundings and thus prevent initiation of the sequence of events leading to an occurrence of BLEVE. The mounded storage concept basically originated from Europe and specialized codes exist in Germany such as: DIN 4681 Tl: Statutory Steel Pressure Vessels for Liquefied Petroleum Gases for Earth Covered Installations, Dimensions and Equipment. During construction phase, a slight increase in the ambient noise levels is anticipated. This impact will be temporary and limited to the construction phase. Hence no permanent impact on this account is expected. During the operational phase, no major social impact in the general area is expected. There will be no change in the occupational structure of the workforce. As there will be no emissions into air, no liquid effluents and no solid wastes no negative impact on the health of the inhabitants in and around the project site is expected SAFETY ASPECTS FOR SETTING UP MOUNDED BULLETS Mounded tanks are semi-conventional pressure vessels, covered by a layer of soil or sand. By mounding LPG tanks with an adequate layer of sand and earth, the possibility of fire engulfment and a BLEVE will be removed. Mounded vessel(s) placed on a firm foundation will not suffer from flotation. Thus mounded tanks have the advantage over underground LPG tanks, which require protection against possible floatation. Mounding allows safety distances around the facility to be considerably reduced, compared to an equivalent unprotected design. The extra cost associated with a mounded system is offset by the lower cost of the land required, and the virtual exclusion of fire fighting systems. Page 20

21 ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS Large volume of water required for the fire systems of conventional storage are eliminated thus reducing the demand on valuable water sources, and problems associated with the drainage and disposal of the water. Mounded LPG gas tanks can be landscaped to blend with the environment RAINWATER HARVESTING MEASURES Storm water drains will be developed to collect run-off water from paved areas. Recharge pits will set up at the site to harvest run-off water CORPORATE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY As per MoEF&CC Notification F.No.22-65/2017-IA.III Dated: 01/05/2018 CER policy, 1.5% of the project cost will be used for CER for various activities PROJECT COST & IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE Cost for the proposed LPG Bottling Plant at Khasra No.3, Village - Ujaliya, Bawari, Jodhpur, Rajasthan is estimated to be around Crores.
