1 STATE LEVEL ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT AUTHORITY, PUNJAB, GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT AND FORESTS VATAVARAN BHAWAN, NABHA ROAD, PATIALA Telefax: No. SEIAA/2014/8538 Dated To Registered Sh. Shiv Kumar, Managing Partner M/s Shiva Exim Enterprises, Plot No. 3 (A+B+C+D), SIEL Industrial Estate, Rajpura, District Patiala Subject: Environmental clearance under EIA Notification dated for increase in the production capacity of Chlorinated Paraffin from 5040 MTA to MTA and hydrochloric acid from MTA to MTA in the existing Industrial Plant located in the revenue estate of Village Khadauli, Tehsil Rajpura, District Patiala by M/s Shiva Exim Enterprises. This has reference to your application for obtaining environmental clearance under EIA notification dated for increase in the production capacity of Chlorinated Paraffin from 5040 MTA to MTA and hydrochloric acid from MTA to MTA, in the existing Industrial Plant located in the revenue estate of Village Khadauli, Tehsil Rajpura, District Patiala and subsequent presentation given before the State Level Expert Appraisal Committee (SEAC) for seeking prior environmental clearance for subject cited project as required under the EIA Notification, The proposal has been appraised as per procedure prescribed under the provisions of EIA Notification dated on the basis of the mandatory documents enclosed with the application viz., Form-1, 1-A, conceptual plan, rapid EIA report and the additional clarifications furnished in response to the observations of the SEAC. It is inter-alia noted that the proposal involves increase in the production capacity of Chlorinated Paraffin from 5040 MTA to MTA and hydrochloric acid from MTA to MTA in the existing Industrial Plant

2 located in the revenue estate of Village Khadauli, Tehsil Rajpura, District Patiala. The industry has proposed to increase in the production capacity of chlorinated paraffin wax from 5040 MTA to MTA and hydrochloric acid from MTA to MTA. The industry shall use HNP/NP/LNP and liquid chlorine as raw material for manufacturing of above mentioned products. The total water requirement of the project will be 95 KLD, which will be met from canal water supply. Out of which, 3 KLD will be used for domestic purpose, 90 KLD will be used in the process and 2 KLD will be used for cooling purpose. About 2.4 KLD of domestic effluent will be generated, which will be treated in an existing septic tank. The treated wastewater will be discharged on to land for irrigation. The excess chlorine to be evolved from the process will be neutralized in the common neutralizer installed in the premises of SIEL. Green belt will be developed in an area of 1416 sq. m. and the same will be irrigated with treated domestic effluent. The existing power requirement available is KW and about KW additional power will be required. Total power requirement will be 200 KW after expansion. D.G. set of 200 KVA will be installed as standby arrangement of power supply. No forest land falls in the project site and there is no National Park and Wild life Sanctuary within a radius of 10 Km from the project site. The case was considered by the SEAC in its 66 th meeting held on , wherein, the Committee screened the application meticulously and noticed that the project proponent is required to submit certain information/data for appraisal of the project. The observations of the Committee were conveyed to the project proponent, in compliance to which he submitted the reply. The case was again considered by the SEAC in its 68 th meeting held on , wherein, it was decided to categorize the project as category B-1 and finalized "Terms of Reference" which were conveyed to the project proponent for preparation of draft EIA study report and Environment Management Plan. Thereafter, the project proponent submitted the Rapid EIA Study report. The case was again considered by the SEAC in its 83 rd meeting held on , wherein, the Committee observed that the project proponent is required to submit certain information/data for appraisal of the project and also decided to constitute a Sub-Committee to visit the

3 proposed site of the project to check its construction status. The Sub-Committee constituted by the SEAC submitted its report wherein, it was mentioned that there is no construction activity undertaken by the project proponent for enhancing the production capacity of the plant for which they have applied for environment clearance. Also, in compliance to the decision of SEAC in its 83 rd meeting, the project proponent submitted the reply. Lastly, the case was considered by the SEAC in its 91 st meeting held on , wherein, the Committee awarded 'Silver Grading' to the project proposal and decided to forward the case to the SEIAA with the recommendation to grant environmental clearance to the project proponent subject to certain conditions in addition to the proposed measures. Thereafter, the case was considered by the SEIAA in its 60 th meeting held on and the Authority noted that the case stands recommended by SEAC and the Committee awarded Silver Grading to the project proposal. Therefore, the Authority decided to grant environmental clearance for increase in the production capacity of chlorinated paraffin wax from 5040 MTA to MTA and hydrochloric acid from MTA to MTA in existing premises of the industry at complex of M/s SEIL Industrial Estates, Rajpura, Distt.
