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) 1.2 Clearance of existing land, vegetation and buildings? Present use of land is Industrial and total land (60.7 ha. earmarked for project is converted for Industrial Purpose. 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 units. Existing land is more or less flat without many undulations. t much of plantation in the area earmarked for unimplemented units. Hence no clearance of vegetation required during construction of the 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 for the industrial purpose. Moreover, extensive greenbelt will be developed within the plant premises. 1.4 Pre-construction investigations e.g. bore houses, soil testing? Investigations have been carried out for soil for already implemented units in the area earmarked for project 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 and CFE from APPCB. 1.6 Demolition works? demolition has been involved for 4
1.7 Temporary sites used for construction 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? units already implemented/under implementation. Similarly, no demolition work will be involved for unimplemented units. Construction workers are being taken from local areas only for implementation of units. Hence no housing is proposed for construction workers. Most of the structures in the proposed project which have been implemented/under implementation are above the ground. Structures in the proposed project which are not implemented will also be above the ground. However, excavations are involved for foundations pertaining to units. Excess cut will be used for landfill. mining and tunneling are involved for units pertaining to proposed project which have been implemented/under implementation. Similarly, no mining or tunneling will be involved in the unimplemented units. 1.10 Reclamation works? reclamation works are involved for units pertaining to proposed project which have been implemented/under implementation.

Pellets will be produced using Iron ore fines, Limestone Dolomite as raw material in Pelletisation plant. The Sponge iron produced is melted in Induction furnaces with concast to produce Billets and these Billets will be taken to a reheating furnace to produce TMT bars/structural steels. Power will be generated by utilization of hot waste flue gases from the kilns. The dolochar from sponge iron will be utilized in the FBC Boiler as fuels to generate power. By air separation process based on low pressure cryogenic cycle and double column rectification system for purity of various gases in order to meet the requirement of Oxygen, Nitrogen and Argon. Sheds have been constructed for storage of some of the raw materials. Other raw materials will be stored in storage yards and products.
