areas as per the CRZ Notification but may be allowed in non- CRZ areas provided the mining lease area is clearly demarcated by one of the identified agency by the Government of India. The Regional Director (Environment), Udupi, who was invited to attend this meeting to give his opinion explained the silica sand mining pertaining to ML 2203,2460,2461,2437 and 2485. He submitted to the Committee that the mining boundaries of the lease area have not been demarcated on the field; the IBM map prepared and got sanctioned by the Mines and Geology Department during 1990 is inconsistent and has not taken HTL in consideration as per the approved CZMP map; survey numbers shown in IBM plan and CZMP maps are inconsistent; the cadastral maps survey numbers do not tally with the IBM survey numbers; unless the boundaries are demarcated in the field, it is difficult to ascertain the exact mining area on the basis of IBM maps. Further, he informed that there is no silica sand in the mining lease area. The Committee was surprised to know that there is no silica sand in the mining area leased out by Department of Mines and Geology. The Committee observed that the ground reality situation needs to be verified thoroughly and get the mining area jointly inspected by the officials from Mines & Geology Dept and Regional Director (Environment), Udupi. Dr. Sriniketan, Member, SEAC, was also requested to accompany the joint inspection team. The committee also felt the need for periodical monitoring of silica sand mining in coastal areas by the concerned Regional Director (Environment). After deliberation, the Committee decided to consider these subjects in the SEAC along with the site inspection report as above and also decided to call the officials from Mines and Geology Department for the SEAC for discussion. Accordingly the proponent was informed to make arrangements for the field visit of the subcommittee vide this office letter dated 29.09.2011. The subject was placed in the 76th SEAC meeting held on 11th November 2011. The Chairman, SEAC informed that during the 74th SEAC meeting while discussing similar cases the Committee had observed that the ground reality situation of the silica sand mining area needs to be verified thoroughly and get the mining area jointly inspected by the officials from Mines & Geology Dept, Dr. Sriniketan, Member, SEAC and Regional Director (Environment), Udupi. After deliberation, the Committee decided to consider the above project also (SEIAA 8 MIN 2011) in the SEAC meeting along with the site inspection report and also to call the officials from Mines and Geology Department for the SEAC for discussion based on the report of Regional Director (Env), Udupi dated: 02.11.2011. The Committee also decided to write to all the concerned project proponents to get their project site boundary demarcated by one of the authorized agency as per the MoEF, GoI Notification. It was also decided to write to the Director, Mines & Geology Department to cooperate and send a representative for joint inspection as well as for SEAC for discussion. Accordingly the proponent was requested to get the project site boundary demarcated by one of the authorized agency identified by the MoEF, GoI Notification. The proponent was also requested to get the project jointly inspected by the subcommittee vide this office letter dated 24. 11.2011.

The Committee after deliberation decided to recommend the above listed files for SEIAA for environmental clearance with the condition that the project proponents have to confine their mining activities only in the non-CRZ area." The Authority perused the proposals and took note of the recommendation of the SEAC during the meeting held on 01.06.2012. The Authority opined that in view of the fact that some of the area falling in CRZ have been suggested to be deleted from the mining plan. It is therefore necessary to have a revised mining plan with estimate of reserve in the non CRZ area available for mining without affecting the local environment. The Authority therefore decided to get the following information for further consideration of the proposals: (a) Leasewise map / mining sketch of the non CRZ area available for mining duly marking it on the local level CRZ map. (b) Revised estimate carried out by a technical person in accordance with the law of mineral deposit in the non CRZ area. (c) Revised mining plan for the non CRZ area available for mining. The Authority also decided to invite the proponents. The proponents have furnished the information vide letter dated 30.06.2012. The proponents have been invited to the meeting. The Authority perused the information furnished by the proponent. The proponents appeared before the Authority and briefly explained about the project. The proponents submitted that the sub-committee of the SEAC visited the spot and after verifying the details of the lease area and super imposing the same on the local level CRZ map suggested that the area falling in CRZ should be excluded from the mining area as mining of sand is a prohibited activity as per CRZ Notification, 1991/2011. The proponents submitted M.L.wise lease area excluding the CRZ area. The proponents also submitted that they do not undertake mining in the areas in and around hutments, agriculture/ horticulture fields, even though it contains sand availability.

Dated 6th July 2012
was held on 27.01.2012. They have applied for CRZ clearance before KSCZMA and seek environmental clearance from SEIAA first. The Committee observed that the EIA study submitted does not address points (2) to (5) of the additional ToRs proposed by the Committee. River quality studies have not been done since project is located near the estuary and dissolved oxygen depends on the salinity. Salinity intrusion at the nearest intake in Sharavathi River is to be given. The list of plants provided in the landscape plan is not specific as the entire project is located in mangrove area. The Committee decided to get the site inspected on 31.03.2012 by a sub committee consisting of the SEAC members namely Dr. G. Srinikethan, Dr. Manoj Kumar, Dr. C. G. Kushalappa, Dr. Bela Zutshi and Dr. Usha. N. Murthy as the project is first of its kind in the state. The site inspection will mainly focus on the (1) Location of the project with respect to salinity and its impact on flora and fauna (2) Identification of mangroves in backwaters and the impact of the project on the flora and fauna in the mangroves (3) Impact of the project on marine life. After deliberation, the Committee decided to recall the proponent for presentation after obtaining the following information from the proponent with site inspection report from the subcommittee. 1.

Dated 6th July 2012
During site visit the experts present from consultant side did not give convincing response for the queries made by subcommittee members. Following are the observations made during the visit for which an elaborative study needs to be done before the project is considered for appraisal. 1. Basis for selection of the site port need to be clarified and if any alternative sites were considered is not clear. The proposed site is in the sea and does not have a survey number. Proponent informed that revenue department will provide the survey number soon and this issue is crucial since clearance cannot be provided to a site without survey number. 2. Since the area is under CRZ examination needs to be undertaken to see if the proposal has to be presented for CRZ review committee and get clearance for the proposed activity. 3. For any accidental spills model studies needs to be undertaken for river and sea. 4. Consultant present did not give satisfactory answer for the values and parameters selection reported in water quality results and hence to be reworked. 5. Consultant did not provide justification for site selection for monitoring of air, noise and water quality- It was also found that critical and sensitive areas like islands with habitation were not considered for monitoring. Give the details of tidal wave studies. 6. Typical input data and output result for all models used in EIA needs to be reported Data used for the model need to be elaborated and any assumptions and limitations made to be provided in the report. 7. Water intake location for use by the workers for proposed project and existing water quality & changes expected near the intake due to the proposed activity along with details of other competitive users near the location to be provided. 8. Salinity measurements in the estuarine/ river portion to be studied in detail and impact of proposed activities on salinity intrusions towards river/ estuarine side needs to be predicted. 9. Water quality studies in critical areas of Sharavathi and other river need to be undertaken. 10. For air modeling studies impact of line sources (road/ rail/ ship movement) needs to be included. 11. Impact studies for proposed road and railway line on local environment needs to be undertaken. 12. Since the dredged material will be dumped into sea its impact on marine ecology needs to be undertaken. 13. For wastewater generated in the proposed activity a sewage treatment system to be proposed. 14. Some of the critical and sensitive areas were identified during site visit (island of Mavinkurve, Mangroves near road bridge, inland travel) for which impact studies need to be undertaken. 15. The report submitted by experts and forest officers to the Deputy Commissioner on coastal erosion in Pavinkurve area which is within the project area has to be taken into consideration before issuing clearance. Comments on ecological issues: 1. The ToR was approved during September 2011 but baseline marine and terrestrial studies were undertaken from March to May 2011 and the three month study is too short a period to assess the impact of a project on this magnitude on the ecology, environment and livelihood of communities. Post monsoon data is not included in the report. As indicated
70
Dated 6th July 2012
by some of the participants in the public hearing local resource persons were not involved in undertaking studies and hence many critical issues have not been addressed properly. 2. Under environmentally sensitive areas within 10 km from site boundary which are used by protected, important or sensitive species of flora or fauna for breeding, nesting, foraging, nesting, overwintering, migration there is no mention about the following : i. Mangrove formations in the estuary, which are protected under CRZ Notificationunder Zone-1, as inviolable areas not mentioned. The report mentions considerable area under mangroves in the land use details within the project impact area but no details are provided regarding the number and extent of mangroves upstream the two rivers. ii. Over 100 species of birds are associated with the estuary, of which at least 40% are migrants from northern latitudes that arrive for over-wintering. The details of resident birds breeding in the estuary and surroundings is not mentioned. The estuary and mudflats and marshy islands provide abundant feeding grounds for the birds and numerous fishes and other organisms and impact on these habitats is not provide. Hence impact of the proposed project on avifauna needs to be redone involving local experts. iii. Sharavathi River has 64 species fresh water fishes including the newly described Batasio Sharavatiensis an endangered fish and additionally there are many rare, endangered and threatened fishes from the project impact area. Fishes reported from study area largely ignores the estuarine fish of Sharavathi, which are very unique and is important source of livelihoods of many and a good trade of which is carried out. The list given is just a general list of marine fishes. Hence detailed study of the fish resources, impacts of the project on their population and livelihood of locals need to be undertaken involving local experts. 3. The floristic inventory provided is based on secondary data which lists 286 plants from the district but the district has close to 2000 plants of which around 1200 could be present in Honnavar Taluk. Rather than providing general check list for the entire district detailed plant inventory from the project impact area needs to be provided by local experts focusing on plant diversity in the different forest types mentioned in the land use especially mangroves and estuarial plants. 4. Under areas containing important high quality or scarce resources only reserved forest 14 km away mentioned but there is reserve forests within 1km in Kasarkod and a forest nursery . Basavadurga Island is also located located within the project core area with good vegetation cover. Sharavathi estuary is a near pristine ecosystem of largely fresh water that is present from Mavinkurve island towards inteior and also along Badagani river. Such unique habitats of low salinity to fresh water conditons do not exist in other coastal estuarine areas. Studies undertaken is too short and hence the studies realted to impact of the project on the unique marine flora and fauna is not exhaustive. Hence a detailed study needs to be undertaken invloving local experts to address these issues. The proponent and consultants have agreed to undertake studies based on the suggestions provided by the committee during the site visit. The subcommittee informed the Committee that the project is coming up in reclaimed land formed due to accretion in water. The survey numbers of the port land is required for environmental clearance appraisal. The proponent has informed that survey is going on in the
71
Dated 6th July 2012
project area. The proponent needs to submit the survey numbers officially. There are several lacunas in the project proposal such as: Salinity not measured. Basis for fixing air sampling stations. Model studies have to be done by CWPRS for tidal influence. Flora/fauna and mangrove have not been done. ToR issued in September 2011 and EIA submitted in March 2012. There is no post monsoon study. Environmental clearance can be considered based on CRZ clearance by KCZMA. The Committee noted that the ToRs for the preparation of the EIA by the proponent were issued based on the model ToRs published by M/s. ASCI assigned by MoEF, GoI for preparation of EIA guidelines/manual. The Secretary, SEAC informed the Committee that proponent has made application for CRZ clearance before KCZMA and the same will be placed in the next meeting of KCZMA wherein the Regional Director (Environmental) will be present. The Committee after deliberations decided to obtain the details/documents as per the inspection report submitted by the subcommittee from the project proponent and recall the proponent for presentation in the SEAC meeting. The proponent has submitted the information on 10.05.2012 in response to this office letter dated: 10.04.2012.
