PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Location
The project site is located at Kalinga Nagar notified industrial area, Jajpur
district of Odisha. The project site is an irregular polygon shape of land
located on a flat terrain, surrounded by major steel industries such as NINL,
MESCO, TATA, Visa steel, etc.
Executive Summary
E-1

Jajpur, Odisha
The site lies in seismic zone-II as per seismic zone map prepared by Odisha
State Disaster Management Authority (OSDMA). There is no capable fault
within the study area.
The nearest railway station is Sukinda Road railway station, which is at a
distance of 0.5 km and nearest airport is Bhubaneswar, at about 100 km
from plant. Paradip is the nearest seaport, which is at about 120 km from the
plant site.
Raw material
Iron ore filter cake (4,000,000 Tonnes Per Annum (TPA)) is the main raw
material for pellet plant and the iron ore slurry is being received from its
Beneficiation Plant located at Barbil, through underground pipeline. The
other additives are coke breeze (80,000 TPA), lime stone (100,000 TPA) and
bentonite (28,000 TPA). About 64,000 TPA of Furnace Oil is required as a
fuel to harden the green pellet.
Water requirement
The estimated total fresh water requirement for the project is about 243280
m3/hr, which is met from the iron ore slurry received from Barbil. In addition
to that, about 50 m3/day will be supplied by IDCO to meet drinking water
purposes.
Manpower
The existing total manpower at pellet plant including all categories is about
480.
Energy requirement
The energy required for the pellet plant is about 20 MW, which is met from
Odisha Power Transmission Corporation Limited. Two DG sets of capacity
500 KVA each are used as back-up power for emergency.
Process & Technological equipment
Iron ore slurry (70% by weight) transported through slurry pipeline is
received in the slurry distributors at pelletisation plant. The slurry is being
diverted to the slurry tanks for pumping to pressure filters. The pressure
filters separate iron ore as cake termed as filter cake, with about 1011%
moisture from the slurry and the filtrate is sent to the thickener for treatment
and reuse. The filter cake is then conveyed to mixer where additives like
limestone / dolomite, bentonite and coke breeze are added and mixed
thoroughly.
The mixed material is conveyed to the bins mounted above the individual
balling discs. The mixed materials are fed into balling discs to get uniform

Jajpur, Odisha
sized balls of 916 mm. These green balls/pellets are screened for size in a
double deck roller screen. The right sized green balls are fed into the
travelling grate of the indurating machine where these green balls are heat
hardened. The dried pellets are preheated to a progressively higher
temperature to initiate magnetite oxidation and sulphur burning due to coke
breeze present in the mixture. The pellets are then fired at ~1300C to
provide the recrystallization and slag bonding which imparts adequate
strength to the pellets. Cooling of indurated pellets is accomplished by
updraughting ambient air through the pellet bed supplied by a cooling air fan.
The cooled pellets leave the indurating machine at a temperature of 100C
or less. The cooled pellets as a product are stored at stockpile.
Pollution control equipment
Two process ESPs and dedusting bag filters are in operation, to control the
dust emission level less than 50 mg/Nm3 in the stacks. All process dust
generated is consumed within the pellet plant and are converted in the form
of slurry and used as a raw material to the plant. Three scrubbers are in
operation, to control the dust generated during induration. Scrubber water is
being recirculated into the process in the form of slurry as a raw material.
Hence, there is no waste generation in any form from the pellet plant.
The pellet plant is operating on zero discharge philosophy with respect to
solid and liquid wastes.
The capital cost of the plant as on 2013 last quarter was worked out to be
Rs.644 Crores.
DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT
The baseline data is generated within 10 km radius for air, water, soil, noise,
ecological, socio economic and traffic studies. The baseline environmental
data were generated for post monsoon season i.e., during September to
November 2014 by conducting field monitoring / studies after considering the
site-specific meteorological conditions.
Meteorology
The micro-meteorological data is being collected regularly in the
meteorological station, already installed in the plant site. Meteorological
parameters such as temperature, relative humidity, wind direction, wind
speed are recorded continuously. During monitoring period, the predominant
wind direction was observed to be west, followed by east.
Ambient Air
Ten (10) AAQ monitoring stations were established covering the
predominant and downwind directions of the operating plant in the study
area of 10 km radius. It is evident from the monitored results that maximum

values for PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx, CO & HC are in conformity with the
norms of MoEF.
AAQ results for post monsoon season 2014 are observed to be 5774 g/m3
for PM10, 2845 g/m3 for PM2.5, 8.116.7 g/m3 for SO2, 9.418.6 g/m3 for
NOx, 0.150.42 g/m3 for CO and BDL for HC.
The AAQ result confirms that the background values are well within
the norms.
The pellet plant is located in an industrial area and is in operation.
Hence, it can be considered that the recorded values are inclusive
effects of pellet plant and other industrial sources of such emissions
in the study area.
All the five stacks are also being monitored and Particulate Matter is
reported to be within 50 mg/Nm3 whereas the SOx and NOx are
reported to be in the range of 76.3164 and 13.738.3 mg/Nm3
respectively.
The RSPM characterization reveals that Benzene Solvent Factor
(BSF) are observed to be below 0.2 mg/m3.
Water Environment
Eight (8) groundwater and ten (10) Surface water samples were collected
and tested as per IS 10500 and MoEF norms respectively. All the
parameters are observed well within the prescribed norms.
Soil
Soil samples were collected from five (5) locations within the study area and
analyzed. The soil samples show pH variation between 6.36.6.The
observed values of exchangeable cations are good which favors the growth
of plant species without amendment of soil.
Ambient Noise
Noise monitoring was carried out at ten (10) locations within the study area.
Monitored noise levels meet the MoEF norms specified for industrial,
residential, and commercial areas barring a few values during nighttime.
TCLP test confirms that toxic leaching is not taking place in the raw materials
storage yard.
Physiography and drainage
The drainage pattern of the site follows the general pattern of watershed i.e.,
dendritic. The surface run-off with respect to the site is in eastern direction.
Executive Summary
E-4

Jajpur, Odisha
One sub-water shed is identified within the plant area. The average drainage
density of the study area is found to be 1.85 km/sq.km which is higher than
the drainage density of plant watershed of 0.61 km/sq.km. The operating
plant site is located on a elevated mass at about 4045m abmsl indicates
that flooding chance of site is negligible. The average annual rainfall in the
region is 1450 mm. The estimated annual run-off volume from plant site is
about 703626 m3 per annum at present i.e., after construction of the pellet
plant.
Land use / land cover
Land use/Land cover pattern for pellet plant (10km radius) was studied by
procuring satellite data path / row (106/57-C, 58-A) of IRS LISS-IV (5.8 m)
on October 30, 2014 to prepare a detailed land use map of the study area.
In the project area, about 61 acres is mainly covered by plant area (66%)
followed by plantation 26 acres (30%).The study area of 10 km radius is
covered by crop land of 62% and forest land of 7.11%.
Ecological Features
There are four-forest lands falling within the study area of 10 km radius.
Schedule I Fauna Elephant, Indian python, Sloth bear are occasionally
observed in the study area of 10 km. However, none of the above species
was observed in the project site, which is an industrial area. A separate
conservation plan is under preparation and will be jointly submitted by the
industries located within the industrial area to MoEF shortly.
The native species identified in this area are Tamarind, Banyan, Neem, Jack
fruit, Basari and Jamun. The plantation carried out within the plant area
includes the above native trees. The diversity index of floral species in scrub
land observed in the study area is found to be approx. 0.89.
There is no wildlife / avifauna sanctuary within the study area. About 44
wildlife species, 9 species of reptiles were observed in the study area.
Avi fauna of about 14 species have been identified in the study area. In the
water environment, about 13 species of aqua fauna were identified.
No critically threatened plant species are observed in the study area.

ANTICIPATED
MEASURES
ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACTS
AND
MITIGATION
Impacts
Construction phase
The project site (90 acres) is under possession of BRPL and the plant is in
operation. Approach road to site already exists. Internal access roads within
the plant area have been laid. The direct and indirect impacts due to the
above activities already occurred, and are discussed in the report. The
impacts were restricted within the plant site for a short duration and no
evidence of their occurrence is cited afterwards.
Operational phase
Air
The pellet plant has five (5) stacks to meet the process requirement. ISCST
model has been used to predict Ground Level Concentrations (GLC) of PM,
SO2 and NOX.
The impact has been predicted over a 10 km radius area with the
location of the stack as the center. The predicted GLCs of PM, SO2 and
NOX occurred in the downwind distance are 4.89, 8.27 and 1.3 g/m3
respectively.
The monitored maximum background pollutant concentrations in the
study area in ambient air for post monsoon season are 65 g/m3 for
PM, 10.7 g/m3 and 12.9 g/m3 for SO2 and NOX respectively.
Generally, the predicted GLC values are added to the measured
ambient background values to get the resultant GLC values for
comparison. In this case, the plant is already in operation and the
monitored background values are inclusive of the existing pellet plant
emissions, which are well within the MoEF norms for residential and
rural areas.
Control of gaseous release
There are five number of stacks installed at plant. Out of five, three are
related to process. The dust generated from the feed end and discharge end
are connected to scrubbers, and the scrubber water containing iron ore is
reused as a raw material in the pellet plant. The process gas generated at
induration due to burning of Furnace Oil passes through ESP. The dust
collected at ESP are converted into slurry and reused in the plant as raw
material. Hence, air pollution from process is not expected.
Executive Summary
E-6

Jajpur, Odisha
Mitigation measures for fugitive emission
The process is mainly wet process and does not generate much dust
emission. However, fugitive emissions due to transportation and material
handling are unavoidable. The measures implemented at the plant site are
as follows:
The raw material handling and product handling areas are equipped
with dust suppression systems like water sprinklers and high pressure
water cannons.
Low pressure water sprinklers at roads.
Product and raw material trucks are covered with tarpaulins to avoid
dust and spillage.
The ESP dusts are collected in hopper and converted into slurry and
reused in the system.

Raw material transportation
The main raw material is iron ore slurry received at pellet plant through
underground pipeline. Hence, no transportation problem is anticipated at
site. However, about 3.5% of total raw material requirement at site is being
handled in dry condition.
Water
There is no wastewater generated from the process. About 243280 m3/hr
of water is required for pellet plant which includes dust suppression,
scrubbing and plantation.
About 34 m3/hr water is required for domestic purposes. The waste water
generated from domestic use is to the tune of 2 m3/day which will be treated
in MBBR based STP and the treated water will be utilized within the plant
site for plantation and gardening. Only during torrential rainy days, the
excess water from STP would be sent to rainwater recharging pit.
Land
Operation of pellet plant does not result into discharge of any effluents into
the land environment. No solid waste is generated from the plant. Hence, no
adverse impact on the land environment is anticipated.
Noise
Noise is generated due to continuous operation of the rotating machines like
discs, grinding mil, machineries like blowers, fans, cooling tower fans and
compressors.
The noise level within the plant is in the range of 5865 dB(A). Acoustic
enclosures, hoods, laggings, silencers and screens are provided for above
equipment so that the sound pressure exposure in working areas is
Executive Summary
E-7

Jajpur, Odisha
restricted below permissible limit of 90 dB(A). Suitable devices like ear muffs
are provided to the personnel exposed to higher noise levels.
The noise levels in the public domain is not increased due to plant
operations as a buffer of green belt is kept between the plant boundary and
the public domain. Additional plantation is envisaged to increase the density
will also have more green cover and expected to further attenuate the noise
level.
Resource
Surface water
There is no surface water used for the operation process of the pellet plant.
The raw water requirement is met from iron ore slurry received from Barbil
through pipelines. The present water requirement for the project is about
243280 m3/hr.
Ground water
Utilization of groundwater for project process requirement is not planned.
Therefore, no impact due to its withdrawal is anticipated.
Run-off estimation
To estimate the run-off, the IMD rainfall data of 1450 mm is considered. The
annual average run-off volume increased from 316958 m3 (pre-construction
scenario) to 703626 m3, showing an increase of nearly 122% in post
construction scenario. The settling tanks with suitable size are contemplated
on the plant sub-watershed to control the run-off during flood.
Substantial number of solar energy based illumination system will be
installed at plant and approach roads.
Rainwater harvesting
Considering water conservation as part of environmental study, it has been
planned to harvest the rainwater to the maximum extent. About 340 m3/yr is
planned to be harvested.
Plantation programme
The pellet plant has a lush green cover which is helpful in reducing the
pollutants in the atmosphere and attenuating the noise and as well as
enhancing the aesthetics and beauty of the site.
Considerable amount of fresh saplings have already been planted at the
boundary of the plant site. All saplings are of mixed plantations of native
species.
Executive Summary
E-8

Jajpur, Odisha
No attributable environmental impact has been observed due to operation of

pellet plant.
ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES (TECHNOLOGY & SITE)
Technology
The major indurating processes developed for thermal treatment of green
pellets are Shaft furnace process, Grate-rotary hearth-shaft furnace process,
Annular furnace process, Circular indurating furnace process, Travelling
grate process and Grate-kiln process.
Amongst the above pellet making processes, the travelling grate technology
is most advanced one and suitable for low-grade iron ore pelletisation.
Hence, the same technology was adopted and the plant is in successful
operation.
Site
The allotted area of 90 acres had several favorable criteria like readily
available land, uninhabited, suitable topography and geology for plant
construction, good accessibility through road and rail, availability of power &
water sources at convenient distance, suitable seismic zone, and major steel
plants are located within the vicinity of the plant.
Further, in the vicinity of 10 km radius of site neither archeologically
important heritage monuments nor declared biodiversity parks/ sanctuaries
are observed.
In view of the above, the site was accepted by BRPL. Hence, consideration
of any other alternate site has not been contemplated.
ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM
The environmental cell of pellet plant regularly monitors meteorology, air
quality, noise, water quality, emissions from stacks, effluents, as per the
norms.
ADDITIONAL STUDIES
The total population within the study area of 10 km radius is about 98489 as
per 2011 census.
Medical experts for BRPL employees under both contract and regular
employment have carried out health survey study. From the survey, it is
evident that people are generally affected by common communicable
iseases like cough, coryza, and simple headache, which are not due to the
impact of pellet plant.
Executive Summary
E-9

Jajpur, Odisha
Socio-economic study reveals that the economy of the study area is
dominated by agriculture. However, the existing plant is not going to affect
the prevailing rural agrarian economy of the study area.
The project has significant direct as well as indirect employment
opportunities and associated allied activities.
Risk analysis
The risk assessment has been carried out to identify and assess the risks as
a result of accidental release of chemical. The chemical inventory quantity
does not exceed or equals the threshold values mentioned in MSIHC.
Hence, BRPL pellet plant project does not fall under a Major Accident
Hazardous (MAH) unit. Pool fire is considered for Furnace Oil.
Pool fire for total catastrophic failure is considered for worst-case scenario
i.e., burning of dyke Furnace Oil. Intensity of thermal radiation at a value of 4
kW/m2 occurs at 216m distance from the centre of pool fire.
PROJECT BENEFITS
For pellet plant, a preliminary roadmap for community development to the
tune of Rs. 68.5 lakhs has been spent till date. Major amount has been spent
for construction of additional classrooms and science laboratories in the
neighboring schools, periphery development and road development,
developing social forestry, training facility, supporting drinking water supply
scheme to the nearby villages and other amenities.
BRPL commits for social welfare activities as per CSR norms contributing in
terms of financial resource and job opportunities.
ENVIRONMENTAL COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS
The cost envisaged for pollution control measures like dust suppression,
scrubbers, ESP, water treatment plant are already included in the capital
cost. Cost towards environmental monitoring facilities is additionally
included. In the analysis of capital cost, recurring cost is also included to
understand the yearly expenditure.
The project has allocated sufficient funds towards pollution control
measures, which is amounting to Rs. 38.6 crores. The recurring cost is to the
tune of Rs.6.28 crores/year.
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
An Environment Management Cell (EMC) is constituted for BRPL to coordinate with the plant management. EMC is reviewing and monitoring the
progress of Environment Management Plan implementation. BRPL pellet
Executive Summary
E-10

Jajpur, Odisha
plant in-charge is heading the cell and, if necessary, the cell may invite
experts from within the plant or outside.
Considering the importance of the pollution control and environmental
protection, a set of personnel is identified from Infrastructure, construction,
technical, operations, maintenance, industrial safety, waste management,
human resource and contract and material management wings of the
project, who will also work for implementation of various components of EMP
such as the maintenance and operation of pollution control systems,
monitoring of pollutants and development of green cover.
CONCLUSION
The state-of-art technology has been adopted in the plant design, so as to
meet the air emission norms, zero discharge of liquid effluent and acceptable
noise levels. Further, maximum re-use and re-utilization of effluent, in-built
rainwater harvesting system to reduce freshwater consumption, wherever
possible are also envisaged.
The EIA report has highlighted all the potential environmental impacts
associated with the plant. Site specific and practically suitable mitigation
measures are recommended to mitigate the impacts. Further, a suitably
designed monitoring is already in place to monitor and control the
effectiveness of mitigation measures implemented during the operation
phase.
From the foregoing studies, it can be concluded that the operating pellet
plant is benign to the environment. The plant is also important for our nation
to convert iron ore fines to a value added product, there by extending the
availability of iron ore for the future generations.
The plant is technically viable, environmentally friendly and highly beneficial
to the nation.

PREFACE
Brahmani River Pellets Limited (BRPL) is a subsidiary company of
Aryan Mining & Trading Corporation Limited. BRPL has signed MoU
with Govt. of Odisha on 15.03.2007 for setting up of iron ore pellet
plant at Kalinga Nagar notified industrial estate area of Jajpur district.
BRPL has setup an iron ore pelletisation facility in Odisha comprising
of:
4.0 MTPA iron ore concentrate production at its beneficiation plant

located at Barbil, Keonjhar district, Odisha.
218 km long iron ore slurry pipeline from beneficiation plant to

pellet plant located at Jajpur.
4.0 MTPA iron ore pellet plant at Kalinga Nagar notified industrial
estate area, Jajpur district, Odisha.
The State Pollution Control Board (SPCB), Odisha has given consent
to establish iron ore pellet plant at Kalinga Nagar notified industrial
estate area, Jajpur district in favour of BRPL vide letter no. 20542/IndII-NOC-4530 dated 29.08.2007
The 4.0 MTPA pellet plant has obtained Consent to Establish from
State Pollution Control Board (SPCB), Odisha on dtd. 29.08.2007 and
started construction work at site. The pellet plant is in operation from
June 2013 after obtaining due clearance of Consent To Operate from
State Pollution Control Board (SPCB), Odisha, vide their letter no.
3576/IND-I-CON-6109 dated 25.02.2011 with latest renewal letter no.
3148/IND-I-CON-6109 dated 10.03.2014 which is valid upto
31.03.2015. Thereafter, all the compliances regarding clearance
conditions are being submitted annually to SPCB, Odisha
However, this report is prepared to obtain Environmental Clearance
(EC) from MoEF, as directed by the National Green Tribunal (NGT).
The beneficiation plant consumes low grade iron ore fines which is
available from various local mines and refines them by grinding, gravity
separation and magnetic separation processes. The particles are then
mixed with water to form slurry, which is pumped through the buried

pipeline to the pellet plant. The underground pipeline system reduces
the traffic and fugitive dust emission due to raw material transportation.
The underground pipeline transportation of raw material also reduces
CO2 emissions by 91% as compared to road and 87% as compared to
rail transport. Moreover, energy consumption is also reduced by 97%
as compared to road and 96% as compared to rail transport. The
beneficiation plant is designed to beneficiate, the low/medium grade
iron ore, i.e., Fe content from 58% before transporting it to the pellet
plant.
Demand for pellets is set to increase in India, as competing lump ore
from the lower benches of seams is becoming scarcer. High grade
pellets command a price premium as they offer major benefits to steel
producers by reducing raw material consumption and saving energy
subsequently simplifying the furnace feed process. In addition to
healthy domestic demand, there is also demand from other countries
such as China.
01.02
PURPOSE OF THE EIA REPORT

The pellet plant in operation is based on travelling grate technology
with the designed capacity of 4 MTPA.
Setting up of iron ore pellet plant now falls under category A and
hence, requires obtaining prior environmental clearance as per the
stipulations of Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 and its subsequent
notifications. Since, the plant is already commissioned for obtaining
environmental clearance from the MoEF, Environmental Impact
Assessment (EIA) study has been carried out within 10 km radius from
the project site for conventional pollutants. This report covers details of
the measures that are being taken to eliminate or minimize the adverse
impacts likely to be caused by the siting, construction and operation of
the 4.0 MTPA iron ore pellet plant.
Accordingly, preparation of report on EIA and Environmental
Management Plan (EMP) has been entrusted to MECON Limited,
Bangalore. This report expounds the environmental studies conducted
by various agencies and various mitigation measures to be and being
adopted for the operation of pellet plant in an eco-friendly manner and
benign to the environment.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the guidelines and
the Terms of Reference (ToR) issued by MoEF vide their letter No.

IDENTIFICATION OF THE PROJECT AND PROJECT PROPONENT

Most of the present day blast furnaces are fed with iron ore pellets in
order to increase the yield of the crude steel. Further, the low and
medium grade iron ore and the iron ore fines stored at mine pits as
waste are being used in beneficiation plant to upgrade their iron
content and the beneficiated ore are then converted into pellet in pellet
plants. The pellets are used in blast furnace as raw material as
supplementary in place of lump ore which is already depleting.
Large scale Integrated Steel Plants (ISP) are located in and around
Kalinga Nagar notified industrial estate area which require pellet for
producing steel. Hence, BRPL planned to set up a 4 MTPA pellet plant
at Kalinga Nagar notified industrial estate area, Jajpur.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF NATURE, SIZE and LOCATION OF THE

PROJECT
01.04.01
Nature
The existing BRPL pellet plant is producing pellets by mechanical
mixing and thermal induration (heat hardening process) to convert the
iron ore and coke breeze into pellets. BRPL's pellet plant is an
integrated facilities comprising of:
i.
4.0 MTPA Iron ore concentrate production at its beneficiation

plant, Barbil.
ii.
218 Km long iron ore slurry pipeline from beneficiation plant to

Pellet plant.
iii.
4.0 MTPA Iron ore Pellet plant at Kalinga Nagar notified industrial
estate area, Jajpur.
The pellets are produced from the iron ore cakes formed after filter
pressing the slurry which is received through underground pipeline
from its beneficiation plant at Barbil in the district of Keonjhar.
01.04.02
Size
The existing pellet plant involves different types of activities like
physical proportionate mixing, preparation of pellets, heat and
hardening process and mechanical transportation and storage.
The plant is designed to produce 4 MTPA with future expansion
facilities. The pellet plant alone spread in an area admeasuring about
90 acres.

IMPORTANCE OF PROJECT TO REGION/COUNTRY

With a view to minimize the loss of iron bearing materials in the
form of fines, utilization of very low grade iron ore after its
beneficiation and agglomeration has become an established practice to
use as a feed to blast furnaces / corex units / DR units.
As a result of the extensive research & development of the
agglomeration technology, almost all high capacity blast furnaces,
Corex units and DRI units are operating with agglomerates as
major feed materials. The agglomeration technologies developed for
iron making are mainly sintering and pelletisation.
Blast furnace operators worldwide are using either sinter or pellets or
combination of sinter, pellets and lump ore in varying proportions as
raw material depending on the availability and cost consideration.
Generally, sinter is extensively used for iron making in blast
furnaces but pellets are used not only in blast furnaces and corex
units for iron making but also for production of DRI/HBI in direct
reduction processes.
Inspite of this back drop, the importance of pellets is recognized as an
eco-friendly source of feed material and the contribution from pellet
plant is poised to expand in the years to come.
Therefore, it is prudent to develop indigenous sources of high grade
feed material from low grade iron ore fines for Integrated Steel Plant.
BRPL project has been commissioned for catering the feed
requirements of steel producers. In view of this, the project is very
important for our nation.

GENERAL
Brahmani River Pellets Limited (BRPL) is presently operating a 4 MTPA
pellet plant based travelling grate technology. Since, there is a scarcity of
lump iron ore in the market and only iron ore fines are available which
need to be agglomerated before its use as feed stock for BF and DRI
units. In view of this, BRPL has established a pellet plant at Kalinga Nagar,
notified industrial estate area of Jajpur district.
This chapter provides an overview of the operating plant, indicating the
scale of operations covering briefly the basic processes and operations.
The description includes the relevant details of the plant and consumptions
of raw materials/requirement of resources. It also brings out the quantum
of waste generated from the operations and the schemes devised for their
management. Engineering details of the plant in relation to environment
are included. General information about raw material, material balance,
and manpower requirements are also detailed in this chapter.
02.02
TYPE OF THE PROJECT

The plant is established for production of pellets from iron ore fines and
low grade iron ore available abundantly at various mine pits in India.
These units are strengthening the supply of feed stock throughput to BF &
DRI units of existing integrated steel plants of India.
02.03
NEED OF THE PROJECT

Raw materials being fed into blast furnaces and DRI kilns must be
sufficiently large or else they are blowned out by the blast of air being
passed through the furnace / kiln. However, now-a-days sufficient
quantities of lump iron ores are not available in the market. Some of the
iron ore fines available in the market can be agglomerated by sintering and
fed into the furnaces / kilns. However, the particle size of some of the iron
ore fines, dust generated during iron ore handling and iron rich slimes
generated during wet beneficiation of iron ore are too small to be sintered.
They have to be agglomerated by pelletisation. The pellet plant utilizes the
rich iron ore fines, dust and slimes from 4 MTPA Beneficiation plant at
Barbil. By setting up the pellet plant, BRPL strengthened its availability of
feed to Blast Furnace & DRI plants.

'R' & 'R' plans are being implemented by the Odisha State Government
for the land ousters of entire Kalinga Nagar industrial area.
Site selection
As already stated, state government of Odisha has allotted a portion of
land at Kalinga Nagar industrial area admeasuring about 90 acres to
BRPL, for establishing the pellet plant.
The main features of the site including environmental considerations
that make it suitable for pellet plant are given below:
Chapter-2
Readily available industrial land with flat terrain

No habitation in the plant site, hence no direct R&R issues
Sparsely populated surroundings
Suitable topography and geography for construction of facilities
Project Description
16

Jajpur, Odisha
Good accessibility through road and rail

Availability of power & water sources at convenient distance
Suitable seismic zone
Surrounded by steel industries, which helps in ease raw materials
accessibility and fast rolling finished product as well.
The plant site is not falling within the vicinity of any monument or
in an archeologically sensitive area.
No declared biodiversity parks/sanctuaries are there in the
surroundings of the site.
No perennial water sources pass through the site.
Since, the above features were favorable for establishing a pellet plant,
and as the land was readily handed over by the state government, this
site was accepted by BRPL for setting up of the Pellet plant. The other
alternative sites considered for the project are detailed in Chapter-5.
Other major industries
Other premier steel sectors like M/s. MESCO, M/s. NINL, M/s. JINDAL,
M/s. Visa steel have established their infrastructure in the same area.
In addition, M/s. TATA is installing 3 MTPA integrated steel plant in the
same area. Thereby, the locality is gradually transforming into a steelindustry hub of Odisha.
i)
Seismic consideration
The site lies in seismic zone II as per Odisha State Disaster
Management Authority (OSDMA) and has the lowest seismic potential.
There is no Capable Fault within the study area. The seismic zone map
of Odisha is shown in the Fig. 02 - 06.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS DESCRIPTION AND TECHNOLOGY

Pelletization is the process of turning very ne-grained (-45) iron ore
(from low grade iron ore) into balls of a certain diameter, a suitable raw
material for blast furnace charging and for direct reduction. The
concentrated iron ore from the beneficiation plant is converted into slurry
and it is transported to pellet plant area through pipeline. At pellet plant the
slurry is converted into iron ore cakes through filtering process. The
pelletisation process involves the following three steps.
Chapter-2
Project Description
18

Jajpur, Odisha
Raw material preparation

Formation of pellets
Pellet hardening
The filter cake (iron ore) with about 10% moisture of hematite content is
mixed with coke breeze, limestone / dolomite dust (15%). Approximately
0.5% of bentonite is added to the above mixture as a binding agent. The
mixture is then formed into uniform sized "green pellets on rotary discs.
These green pellets are screened to get the desired size and then dried
and heat hardened (indurated) at a temperature of 1300 C. This usually
takes place on a travelling grate. The pellets with desired / stipulated
physical and metallurgical properties are stocked and transported to
consumers.
02.09
PELLET PLANT
The plant is designed to receive the iron ore concentrate as slurry from its
beneficiation plant at Barbil, which is located at about 218 km from the
plant site.
Iron ore slurry (70% by weight) is transported through slurry pipeline from
its beneficiation plant, is received in the slurry distributors at pelletisation
plant.
From these distributors, slurry is being diverted to the slurry tanks for
onward pumping to pressure filters. The pressure filters separates iron ore
as cake termed as filter cake with about 10% moisture from the slurry and
the filtrate is sent to the thickener. The filter cake is then conveyed to
mixer, where additives like limestone/dolomite, bentonite and coke breeze
are added and mixed thoroughly.
Limestone and coke breeze are also administered and ground together in
ball mills and bentonite is ground in vertical roller mill. Ground bentonite is
pneumatically transported directly from the mill system to the day bin in
mixing area. Also ground mix of limestone and coke breeze is
pneumatically transported to storage bins located at mixing area.
The mixed material is conveyed to the bins above individual balling discs.
The mixed materials are fed into balling discs to get uniform sized balls of
9-16 mm. These green balls / pellets are screened for size in a double
deck roller screen. Oversized and undersized materials are returned to
mixed material bins.
The desired / stipulated sized green balls are fed into the travelling grate of
the indurating machine where these green balls are heat hardened. The
Chapter-2
Project Description
19

Jajpur, Odisha
green pellets are dried in the updraught and downdraught drying zones of
indurating machine. The dried pellets are preheated to a progressively
higher temperature to initiate magnetite oxidation and sulphur burning due
to coke breeze present in the mixture.
The pellets are then fired at approx. 1300C to provide the recrystallization
and slag bonding which imparts adequate strength to the pellets. An
unfired short section designated as 'after firing' allows the heat front to
completely penetrate into the bottom of the bed thereby, eliminating
sudden quenching of pellets and consequent deterioration of properties.
Cooling of indurated pellets is accomplished by updraughting ambient air
through the pellets bed supplied by a cooling air fan. The cooled pellets
leave the indurating machine at a temperature of 100C or less. The
cooled pellets are stored in the stockpile as finished product. The process
flow diagram of pellet plant is shown in Fig. 02 07. The mass balance for
raw material & pellet and raw material requirement details are given in
Table 02 02 & 02 03 respectively.
02.09. 01 Salient features of pellet plant
Chapter-2
Production capacity of 4 MTPA with 300 days of operation per year.

Travelling Grate technology is adopted for optimum pellet production.
Basic and detailed design engineering for entire plant have been
carried out by MECON for better process efficiency and minimum to

Iron ore concentrate slurry from beneficiation plant located at Barbil
area.
Use of high intensity mixers of EIRICH makes, Germany for better
mixing.
Two process ESPs and Dedusting bag filters for process dedusting

All process wastes generated are absorbed within the pellet plant.
Dust from Dust extraction / de-dusting units are reused in the
process as slurry.
Three scrubbers are in operation to process the dust generated
during induration. Scrubbed water is recycled to the process in the
form of slurry.
The induration process uses FO as fuel.

Description of Environment
03.01
GENERAL
In general the main objective of the study is to determine the potential
significant impacts that might arise from the operating pellet plant on
the existing natural and built environment.
The actual impact from the pellet plant can be gauged by measuring
background environmental parameters and comparing them with the
stipulated norms. Obviously, this calls for generation and establishment
of baseline data at present, and constituting an effective environmental
monitoring program for the future. This chapter deals with the
generation of baseline data for future reference. The likely
stresses/loads on the environment due to the plant activities are
enumerated subsequently in this chapter.
For convenience in presentation and discussion, the base line data are
classified into different groups or categories depending on their
application. These groups are:
Parameters indicating environmental status/quality

Data related to use of natural and man-made resources
Meteorological data used as input to models for impact
prediction/site evaluation
Data used in one application may occasionally serve another purpose

as well. Further, no significance or importance shall be attached to the
order in which these are listed above.
The data considered to be indicators of environmental status/quality
include air, water, ambient noise, soil, flora and fauna. Data in this
category are generally based on in-situ measurements.
The second category of data relates to the use of natural resources
such as water, raw materials and manmade resources like power,
road/rail infrastructure. Data of this kind are often based on detailed or
statistical estimates.
The third category of data relates to meteorology, used as input
requirements for models to predict atmospheric environmental impacts.
Models/empirical relations are used to assess the potential impact on
the environment and safety related aspect of the plant. These usually
Chapter-3
33

Jajpur, Odisha
call for both historical and current data as input. The data for this
category is derived from long and short term observational records.
Apart from the above, data pertaining to the assessment of
socioeconomic impact, collected from primary and secondary sources
are also collected and presented in Chapter 7.
Sufficient experience has been gained by the project authorities for
environmental data collection for the operating pellet plant in order to
comply the state pollution control board requirement. Other relevant
data are drawn from the district website to correlate the past data with
the present one. The sources of information are cited at the relevant
places to corroborate the data.
03.02
IDENTIFICATION OF STUDY AREA AND PERIOD

Considering the specific characteristics for the BRPL pellet plant, the
impact zone of 10 km radius is considered as study area as per the
ToR issued by MoEF.
The existing plant is in operation since June 2013. Impact from the
project due to conventional air pollutants like PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NOx,
CO and HC are considerable, since, these pollutants are generally
released from the plant operation.
The baseline data for air, water, noise, soil etc. were collected for a
season, i.e. post-monsoon. This report has been prepared, based on
one season data generated during September to November 2014.
However, the plant authorities are continuously collecting the
background data to meet the requirements of SPCB.
03.03
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

Environmental impact can be defined as any alteration of
environmental status, which would be either unsympathetic or
advantageous, caused or induced by the set of project activities. EIA
can be defined as the systematic process of identifying the future
consequences of a current or proposed project activity. The present
EIA studies are based on three chronological elements listed below:
Chapter-3
Identification of Impacts on the environment.

Prediction of anticipated environmental impacts due existing plant
activities and suggesting mitigation measures.
Preparation of Environmental Management Plan is based on
points listed above.
34

Jajpur, Odisha
03.03.01.
Identification of impacts
In the process of identification of impacts, the existing status of
environmental quality with respect to various identified parameters and
those components of project activities, which have an effect, are
characterized. These are analyzed for both beneficial and adverse
impacts as a part of EIA process. The various factors considered in the
impact identification of the project are as follows:
Identification of the study area

Identification of environmental parameters
Identification of plant operation and impact generating activities
The EIA of existing BRPL pellet plant has been carried out through
survey and assessment of baseline status of one season monitoring by
identification, prediction and evaluation of impacts under each
environmental component viz. air, water, soil, noise, ecological, land
and socio-economic environment.
03.03.02.
Identification of the environmental parameters

The various environmental parameters, which are identified and likely
to be affected by the project activities, are as follows:
(i)
Air environment
The baseline data for conventional pollutant concentrations in the
atmosphere was measured for the study area to estimate its effect on
the environment.
(ii)
Water environment
Groundwater and surface water quality was analyzed as a baseline
study to estimate the effect of plant on these aspects.
(iii)
Land environment
The existing land use/land cover pattern and soil characteristics are
required as added information to support EIA. Some of the data related
to socio-economic conditions are drawn from the district website to
compare with the study conducted to assess the present status.
(iv)
Biological environment
Baseline data on biological characteristics of flora and fauna, along
with information and availability of common animals at various places
around the project site have been considered since the site is located
within Kalinga Nagar notified industrial estate area.
Chapter-3
35

Jajpur, Odisha
(v)
Noise environment
Noise is defined as the unwanted sound which disturbs human mental
peace and sleep, thus worsening quality of human environment.
Hence, noise levels around the project site are monitored as baseline
data for suggesting remedial measures.
(vi)
Socio - economic environment

Relevant data are incorporated in Chapter 7 of the report, covering
demographic pattern, population density, educational facilities and
status, agriculture, income, fuel, medical facilities, transport and
information related to health are considered to determine the quality of
life indices in the region.
03.03.03.
Identification of project phases and impact generating activities

The various phases of the project identified, which might affect the
environment are as follows:
(i)
Siting
The existing plant is in operation, the processes and technologies are
well proven for more than a decade. The site is located on National
highway; hence, there is no additional requirement of access roads for
vehicular movement to site. Geotechnical investigations were the
minimal requirement for siting activities. These activities were already
over before setting up of plant and did not pose any environmental
impact.
(ii)
Construction and commissioning

The construction of BRPL pellet plant had witnessed activities like
transportation, excavation, construction, and fabrication works. These
activities generated positive impacts in terms of direct and indirect
employment opportunities for the local people. Some of the activities
initiated during construction phase such as plantation development,
also had positive impact on local ecology and environment by this time.
Marginal impacts on aesthetic environmental components were also
anticipated.
(iii)
Operation
Operation of the pellet plant involves utilization low iron content ore
fines, limestone, bentonite and coke. The plant is designed and
operated with defence-in-depth philosophy to ensure safety of the
workers. The engineered safety features built-in the design keep the
Chapter-3
36

Jajpur, Odisha
atmospheric releases as less as possible during regular operating
conditions, if any, to the minimum.
The plant operation certainly enhanced both direct and indirect job
opportunities in the neighborhood. The social and welfare measures,
considered in this project, will also contribute to the society in the long
term positive impact. Operation of pellet plant is contributing to the
partial replacement of raw material by converting mines overburden
waste and fines accumulated at mine pits into useful feed for the steel
industry to some extent, thereby extending the dependency on ironore
reserves.
03.03.04.
Environmental monitoring methodology

The baseline status of environment with respect to the conventional
pollutants parameters within the impact zone is essential for impact
assessment of the pellet plant.
(i)
Methodology of baseline data generation

pollutants
for conventional
The conventional parameters in air, water and land were monitored in

the study area as per the guidelines of MoEF. The locations of
sampling stations were selected to cover the stipulated 10 km radius
from the project site.
Ambient Air Quality (AAQ) parameters like PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NOx and
HC are measured using low volume and high volume samplers. CO is
also measured. In addition to that the other parameters like Ozone,
NH3, Pb, As, Ni and Benzene are also monitored as per SPCB norms.
However, the present report deals the parameters pertaining to MoEF
directives suggested in ToR. The above parameters were collected
twice in a week continuously for three months during post-monsoon
season 2014.
As per the guidelines of MoEF, water environment (surface water and
groundwater) is monitored to establish the present status. Similarly, the
other data like land, noise and socio-economic environment has also
been established as per the norms of CPCB/MoEF.
The methodology of sample analysis for conventional parameters are
enumerated in Table 03 - 01.

Basement Gneiss
The oldest rocks (basement) exposed in the area are granite and granite
gneisses. Topographically these rocks occupy undulating plains, low
hillocks and mounts. It is represented by variety of rocks porphiritic
gneiss, biotitie granite gneiss, hornblend gneiss with pegmatites and
quartz veins. These rocks show mostly light to dark color with patches of
black & green (in Biotite & hornblend granite gneisses respectively).
These are very hard, massive and compact, medium to coarse grained
and show the development of gneissic structures. These rocks form the
basement in the area.
Iron Ore Super Group
The parent rock of the iron ore deposits is Banded Iron Formation (BIF)
which includes BHJ, BHQ and Ferruginous shales. The BHJ and BHQ
Chapter-3
39

Jajpur, Odisha
occur as ridges forming a configuration of U open to north. This formation
constitutes the major super crustal area of the buffer zone. These are
made up of low grade meta-sediments including phyllites, tuffaceous
shale, BHJ and BHQ.
The iron ore super group of rocks is mainly deposited in two major basins.
Jamda- Koira Basin and Pallahara-Daitari Basin. The Jamda Koira basin
encompasses the type area of Iron Ore Group of Rocks in the area
around Bolani, Joda and Barbil. The regional structure of the iron ore
basin is a low NNE plunging synclinorium over turned towards SE (Saha
& Sarkara, 1962-63).
The BIF (Banded Iron Formation) is considered to be the parent rock for
the iron ore deposit. The iron ore bodies are considered to be a product of
surface alteration of BHJ. Iron content in the unaltered BHJ is around 20
percent to 30 percent, while iron content of the enriched BHJ varies from
55 percent to 70 percent. Enrichment of ferruginous shale has also led to
formation of iron ore, but such deposits are small in extent. The older
stage of manganese deposition in the area is accepted by Narayanswamy
(1961), later suggested by Acharya (1984) and Acharya and Singh (1988)
and Singh and Acharya (1989). The manganese and iron formations of
this belt are comparable with similar formation in other metallogenic
provinces Daitari basin in Orissa and Sandur basin (Roy 1981) in
Karnataka, India.
Singhbhum Granite
The batholitic complex of Singhbhum granite occupies an extensive area
of the buffer zone. It is revealed from geo-chronology that this huge
batholithic mass of granite was emplaced atleast in two stages, namely
Singhbum Granite.
The lower granitic mass (Phase-I) form the basement of Iron Ore group
of rocks, whereas the granite of phase II has intruded the iron ore group
of rocks at several places. Petrologically Singhbhum Granites are Biotite
granodiorite grading to adamelli granite. The rock is medium to coarse
grained.
A NNE-SSW trending newer dolerite dykes traverses the Singhbum
batholitic complex. The dykes range in width from less than 5 m to over
30m and 50m to over 20 Km in length. Darijing Group and Gangpur
Group (Metasediments). The majority of the hills and ridges of the area
are formed by carbonaceousphyllite. Mica schist, Dolomite and Limestone
occupy the plains. The contact between Gangpur series of rocks and Iron
Ore Series is marked by a zone of sheared conglomerate and Quarztite.
Chapter-3

Jajpur, Odisha
Laterite and Soils
Laterite occurs as capping over the rocks of IOG. Two distinct types of
laterite have been encountered in the area. One is ferruginous variety
which is semipisolitic and of reddish colour composition. The second
variety is aluminous laterite, which exhibits pisolitic to semi-pisolitic
texture, giving a dirty yellow to yellowish white colour. These are
indicative of the increase of alumina content compared to the other variety
of laterite.
Alluvium
This is the youngest geological unit. It consists of sand, silt and clay, with
calcareous concretions. However it is limited in aerial extent.
Structure
The sequence in spite of the high degree of folding attains only a low
grade of metamorphism. The structural features are more prominent in
BHJ and Iron ore than in shale of its comparatively hard nature.
The structural features are as follows:
Chapter-3
Beddings are represented by compositional banding in shale, BHJ

and laminae in iron ore to the rock suffered intense folding
movements, the amount and direction of dip vary significantly.
However, the general strike of the ore bodies is found to be N 300 E
S 300 W to N 600 E S 600 W with dip 250 to 500 towards NW.
The folds in BHJ and associated ore include both symmetrical and
asymmetrical folds with doubly plunging phenomena. The regional
plunge is 200 to 300 in N250E whereas the refolded character gives
another plunge direction in S 200 W with 250 to 400 dip. Although
the BIF and associated sediments have been affected by more than
one generation of folding, they do not record incidence of significant
metamorphism.
All the litho-units within BIF and shale are affected by multiple sets of
joints. The strike of the joints usually follows the regional plunge
direction i.e., N300W S300E to N600W S600E. The dips of the joints
are mainly sub-vertical to vertical. Oblique joints are also marked in
some exposures.

Geomorphology
The geomorphology of the area is Lateritic Pede Plain with scarcely
distributed fractures in a radial pattern. This is well observed by the
distribution of dendritic drainage pattern organized in a radial pattern
within the study area. The soil type of the area is mostly loamy sand
with sporadic patches of loamy clay. Due to the lithology and
geomorphology of the area, most of the areas are in aquiclude
conditions with the perched water table conditions between 5-9m below
ground level with seasonal fluctuation of water table between 2-6m.

(iv)
Engineering geology of site

The site environment of the plant area was evaluated using the joint
properties and rock mechanical properties of rock mass such as in-situ
stress and permeability data from boreholes drilled at the project site.
The results obtained for physical properties of the granite rock samples
from surrounding areas indicate the variation in bulk density from 2.49
to 2.99 g/cm3, modulus of elasticity from 1.64x105 to 1.95 x106,
poisons ratio ranging from 0.11 to 0.20. The geotechnical properties
were tested for uniaxial and triaxial compressive strength, Youngs
modulus, Poisson ratio, tensile strength and P-wave velocity in normal
atmospheric conditions. Samples were also tested at water saturated
and heat treated conditions at 378 K (105 oC) and 518 K (245 oC). The
variation in strength is from 80 to 1926 kg/cm2 for uniaxial strength and
0.07 to 3.60 for tensile strength. This is attributed to mineralogical
variations, grain size, withering and alteration conditions.
All the above geological parameters indicate the suitability of the site
for engineering applications.
(v)
Physiography and drainage

The development of topography and the drainage network influences
the hydrogeological conditions of the area. It is actually guided by the
distribution pattern of the felsic and mafic bands in the granite gneisses
passing through the area. The felsic bands are resistant to weathering
and erosion hence, stand out as elevated uplands whereas the mafic
bands which are susceptible for weathering and erosion resulted as flat
land or low lying areas. The plant is located right on a flat land. The
drainage density and the flow direction of the streams, in general, are
along the bands. The site is mostly flat with mild slope. The area is
gently sloping towards ENE and the average ground elevation is about

43 m abmsl. The highest elevated point inside the project site is 45 m
abmsl occurring at south. There is no perennial water sources
identified within the project site. However, a 2nd order drainage nalla is
existing towards the north of the project and joins Gonda river at about
5.5 km from the project site. The general layout of the plant site along
with the contours is shown in Fig. 03 03.

REGIONAL DRAINAGE PATTERN

The study area is located in the eastern part of India and its regional
hydrology is characterized by Brahmani river system. The river flows at
about 10 km in the south of the project site. The drainage patterns of
the study area of 10 km radius, observed from the toposheet are
shown in the Fig. 03 - 04. From the figure, it can be observed that the
study area follows dendritic pattern of drainage in the hilly areas and in
the flat land it is parallel.

plant based on toposheet
Chapter-3
48

Jajpur, Odisha
Brahmani river is perennial with moderate flow during lean season with
the underneath rock formations of the Basement Granite Gneissic
Group and unsaturated withered alluvial zone at the top.
The general flow direction in the study area is east/north-eastwards.
The calculated average drainage density is about 1.78 km/sq.km. The
average density is calculated based on the physical measurement of
drainage identified in the core and buffer zone of the study area.
Within the study area of 10 km radius, the most prominent drainage
channel is Gonda nalla which is a tributary of river Brahmani. The
Gonda nalla also has a south eastern flow and confluences with the
Brahmani River beyond the study area. The project site water shed is
directly connected to 2nd order stream which is passing in northern
direction with respect to site and meets Gonda nalla at about 5.5 km
from the site.
No noteworthy surface water bodies are identified within the study area
of 10 km radius from the project site. The 2nd order stream observed at
the northern part of the site is monsoon dependent.
BRPL plant area sub-watershed
Fig. 03 - 05 shows the watershed boundary, super-imposed on
toposheet. From the watershed it is inferred that the project site is not
affecting the natural drainage pattern. Even the 1st order stream is not
observed at site.

The watershed area is about 22.5 sq. km and its drainage pattern is
generally dendritic. The watershed drains into Gonda nalla. There is no
withdrawal of water for direct human consumption from the watershed.
By examining the drainage pattern of the watershed area, it is observed
that project site does not interfere with the general drainage pattern of
the watershed area. The drainage pattern of the site has been
described in subsequent paragraphs.
Project Site Drainage
Detailed studies were carried out to understand the drainage pattern
and the impact of project on existing drainage pattern. Fig. 02 - 02
shows the topographical features of the BRPL plant site. The aquifer
details as observed in study area are shown in Fig. 03 - 06. From the
figure it can be seen that the plant area falls under lateritic weathered
zone. The plant area is about 90 acres and it generally slopes down in
east/north east direction. The highest elevation of site is 45 m abmsl in
the south and lowest elevation is on the northern boundary at about 40
m abmsl. Fig. 03 07 shows the digital elevation model (DEM) of the
project site.

Hydrogeology
Ground water occurs under phreatic condition in the weathered,
fractured rock formations of the Granite Gneissic Group of rocks
comprising of granites, gneisses and BHQ, BHJ and shales. The
thickness of weathered zone (aquifers) varies from 5m to about 40m
depending upon the rock formation. The groundwater occurs in the
fractures and fault zone of these crystalline rocks under semi-confined
conditions. The main source of groundwater in the district is through
precipitation only. Groundwater exploration by CGWB reveals that
aquifers are encountered at a depth of 8m to 50m bgl. However, deep
aquifers of 200m depth are also encountered at some places under the
study area. The groundwater yield of the consolidated formation is less
than 36 m3/hr and the unconsolidated formation varies from less than
54 m3/hr to 144 m3/hr. The lowest and highest yield is observed in
consolidated & unconsolidated formations respectively. The
transmissivity ranges from 0.5 to 7.0 m2/day. The other parameters as
observed at the site are shown in Table 03 04.

Hydrology
Regional hydrology with respect to surface water regime is governed
by the Brahmani basin. Brahmani River is about 10 km south of the
project site. The river is perennial with copious flow during monsoon
period.
Groundwater conditions
The base map prepared from satellite imageries indicate that the
prominent north-south dendritic drainage pattern (Fig. 03 - 04).During
the monitoring period 10 nos. of wells were inventoried. Groundwater in
the consolidated rock formation travels through the secondary openings
represented by joints, cracks and fissures. The weathered residuum of
the hard rocks as well as the fractures, joints, fissures, lineaments are
the principal repositories of groundwater in the study area. Weathered
zone is usually observed for limited thickness whereas, fractures and
joints close-up with depth. The groundwater in the weathered and
Chapter-3

fractured zone of hard rocks occurs under semi-confined conditions. Premonsoon depth of water table in the area generally ranges from 3.5m in
Dasmania village to 9.59m below ground level in Managobindpur village.
The ground water prevails in unconfined condition in the alluvial
formation which is occurring in the southern part of the study area. The
depth of water table in these formations varies from 4m to 7m. The premonsoon and post monsoon water level in the study area is given in
Fig. 03 - 08 and Fig. 03 09. The water level ranges from 3.23 to 9.08
during pre-monsoon season where in post-monsoon season; it ranges
from 1.38 to 7.33. Regional ground water flow is from east to southeast
and south. The yield of aquifer ranges from 16.20 m 3/day (Sulia village)
to 114.71m3/day (Jakhapura village). The ground water flow has been
studied in the area by preparing water table elevation contour maps.
To evaluate the status of water table in the buffer zone intensive well
inventory has been carried out for 10 numbers of observation wells. The
details of well inventory have been given in Table 03 - 05. These wells of
Govt. of Orissa and CGWB, falling around the buffer zone have been
taken into account. Based on the annual fluctuation of ground water
monitored for the existing bore wells, the ground water contours are
drawn to understand the water table movement in the study area.
Ground water contours are shown in Fig. 03 - 10.
This indicates the general ground water flow is bi-directional, on the east
side of the plant the groundwater is towards the North-West side, where
as on the west side of the plant, it is towards the South-East side.
Apparently there must be a structural discontinuity somewhere in
between like fault etc as a potential sub-surface ground water flow. The
same is been confirmed by the electrical conductivity test between two
points on the South-East and North-West sides of the plant
(Fig. 03 - 11).

SOIL CHARACTERISTICS
To assess the physio-chemical characteristics of the soil within the
study area, soil samples were collected at five different locations and
are shown in Table 03 - 06 and Fig. 03 - 12.
At each location, homogenized, composite soil samples of about
one kg from the levels between the surface and one meter depth were
collected. Each soil sample was crushed by mortar and pestle, sieved
through 10-mesh sieve, and preserved for physical and chemical
analysis. The samples were analyzed for texture, type, bulk density,
void porosity and moisture content. The physio-chemical properties of
the soil samples are given in Table 03 - 07 and Table 03 - 08.

The Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) of soil has direct bearing on the
transport of the pollutants in the ground environment. Large CEC of soil
helps in actually retarding the migration of pollutants in the ground
environment. The most important cations present in soluble state in the
soil are calcium and magnesium. It is observed that calcium is in the
range of 14.47 to 20.46 meq/100 gm. In case of magnesium it is in the
range of 22.22 to 27.98 meq/100 gm. While potassium is in the range
of 0.79 to 1.85, the sodium values are observed in the range of 0.094
to 0.108 meq/100 gm. The total base of CEC values at all five locations
were observed to vary in the range of 42.086 to 49.288.The high CEC
values from barren land sampling station such as S4 & S5 may be
attributed to the high clay content of the soil as well as its water holding
capacity.

From the soil analysis it is evident that higher exchangeable cation,

leads to favourable circumstances for green belt development without
any blending of soil. The major nutrients like organic matter, organic
carbon and available nitrogen were also recorded moderately (refer

The heavy metals like iron, zinc, copper and manganese act as
micronutrients in the soil. It is well known fact that deficiency of a
micronutrient can limit the growth of the plants significantly. The excess
availability of such nutrients is also known to have adverse effects on the
growth of the plants. For instance, excess of copper affects uptake of
molybdenum, another critical micronutrient. Excess of zinc, manganese
and copper affect uptake of iron. Excess iron, copper and zinc affect
uptake of manganese. Thus, due to the antagonistic effect of some
micronutrients, uptake of other micronutrients is adversely affected,
thereby lowering the soil fertility. Hence, a critical limit for each
micronutrient in the soil, that is the content of extractable nutrient at or
below which plantation are practiced leads to a beneficial effect, is
specified. The critical limits of copper, zinc and iron are 2.69-3.63 mg/kg,
12.67 to 15.29 mg/kg and 11800 to 13300 mg/kg, respectively.
Cu in soil
The concentration of Cu in the soil samples collected are 2.69 to 3.63
mg/kg.
Zn in soil
The concentration of Zn in the soil samples collected are 12.67 to 15.29
mg/kg.
Mn in soil
The concentration of Mn in the soil samples collected ranges from 12500
to 14700 mg/kg.
Chapter-3
63

Jajpur, Odisha
Fe in soil
The concentration of Fe in the soil samples collected ranges from 11800
to 13300 mg/kg.
However, it may be noted that the micronutrients might be available in
soluble form in the soil.
In summary, the results of the analysis conducted on representative
samples collected from the study area indicate that the soil is suitable
for plantation development without any soil blending. Results did not
indicate any characteristic, which may adversely affect plant growth.
The soil samples collected from various locations under the study area
indicate that the soil is in good condition.

Meteorology
The wind direction, wind speed and the atmospheric stability conditions
at the site govern the dispersion and dilution of air pollutants, which in
turn will decide the direction and distance of the potentially affected
zone from the new activity. Data on maximum wind speed forms an
essential input for the design of tall structures such as stacks. In the
absence of thermal discharges and heat island effects, information on
temperatures is relevant mainly for assessing air conditioning loads
and thermal stresses on vessels and piping exposed to ambient
conditions. Rainfall information is needed for proper design of storm
drains so as to avoid flooding under extreme conditions and rain water
harvesting. Information on humidity serves to design air conditioning,
ventilation and cooling tower.
Weather data is being collected regularly in the meteorological station,
already installed in the plant site. Meteorological parameters such as
temperature, relative humidity, wind direction, wind speed are recorded
continuously.
The historical met. data collected from meteorological department are
discussed below.
(i)
Wind speed and direction

The yearly frequency distributions (historical data) for the year 1961 to
1990 are shown in Table 03 - 11. From the table (historical data) it is
evident that the predominant wind direction is observed from west
followed by south-east directions. The mean wind speed for 30 years
which varies between 13.5 and 19.5 km/hr. This historical data has
been used as a base for selecting the sampling locations. The wind

To establish site specific parameters for micro meteorological data for
post-monsoon season, the wind frequency distribution in the form of

Land use / Land cover

Land use / Land cover (LULC) pattern for BRPL pellet plant (10 km
radius from the site) was studied by procuring satellite data path/row
(106/57-C, 58-A) of IRS LISS-IV (5.8 m) October 30, 2014 to prepare a
detailed land use map of the area.
The study is limited to mapping the spatial distribution of the present
land use/land cover, drainage and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of
this project, using satellite remote sensing data, image interpretation
techniques, topographic map and ground surveys.
The general elevation of the area ranges from 14m and 556.64m
above the mean sea level. The project area falls on the mildly
undulating land. The DEM core zone and buffer zone of the study area
is as shown in Fig 03 - 15 and 03 - 16 respectively.

cover area, wasteland scrub, land open scrub and other units of
industrial land.
Chapter-3
75

Jajpur, Odisha
Fig. 03 - 20 Land use pattern in buffer zone

The above map shows the various types of landuse pattern in the
buffer zone (study area of 10 km radius). The category wise details are
described below:
(i)
Agricultural Land
Cropped areas are registered on satellite imagery in tones varying from
pink to red and bright red depending on the greenness of crop
vegetation, stage of growth, nature of canopy, crop health, crop
management practices and kind and nature of soil exposed in intercanopy slits.
They are widely distributed in different terrains, prominently appearing
in the irrigated areas irrespective of the source of irrigation. Three
cropping seasons exist in India viz., kharif (June/July
September/October), rabi (November/December - February/March)
and zaid (April-May). Crop land category also includes area under
kharif, rabi, zaid season as well as two crop and more than two crop
areas. This also includes fallow lands, which are taken-up for
cultivation but are temporarily left uncultivated i.e., un-cropped for one
or more seasons, but not less than one year.
Chapter-3
76

Jajpur, Odisha
It may be seen from Table 03 - 14 that the agricultural land occupies a
total of 221.98 sq.km which is about 70.69% of the 10 km radius of
study area which is supported by the data as obtained from the satellite
land use and land cover map (Fig. 03 - 20). The study area mainly
consists of agricultural land.
Agricultural plantations are the areas under agricultural tree crops
planted by adopting certain agricultural management techniques. This
category also includes the horticulture areas. Their association can be
seen mostly with built-up and cropland areas.
(ii)
Built-up environment
These are human settlements composed of houses, transportation,
communication lines, utilities, services, places of worships and
recreational areas. Depending upon the nature and type of utilities,
nature of services and the size of habitation, residential areas can be
aggregated into villages, towns and cities.
The satellite image provides clearer expression of these areas in light
bluish - greenish tones, often with converging linear features of roads
and railways. Residential areas of towns and cities express a distinct
pattern because of high density of buildings, registered in darker tones
in the center and lighter on the peripheries in a clustered or scattered
manner. Built-up area occupies about 63.44 sq.km of land, which is
about 20.20 percent of the 10 km radius of study area.
(iii)
Forest plantation
These are the areas bearing an association predominantly of trees and
other vegetation types (within the notified forest boundaries) capable of
producing timber and other forest produce.
Forest plantation is the area of tree species of forestry importance,
raised and managed especially in notified forest areas. The forest area
covers about 24.99 sq.km. which is equivalent to 7.96% of the total
study area.
(iv)
Wastelands
Wasteland is described as degraded land which can be brought under
vegetative cover with reasonable effort and which is currently
underutilized and land which is deteriorating for lack of appropriate
water and soil management or an account of natural causes.
Wastelands can result from inherent/imposed disabilities such as by
location, environment, chemical and physical properties of the soil or
financial or management constraints.
Chapter-3
77

Jajpur, Odisha
The present study area includes land with or without scrub and barren
land/rocky terrain. In total, wasteland occupies 26.85 sq. km which is
about 8.55% of the total 10 km radius area.
(v)
Water bodies
This category comprises of areas with surface water impounded in the
form of ponds, lakes and reservoirs, streams, rivers, canals etc. These
are seen clearly on the satellite image in blue to dark blue or cyan color
depending on the depth of water.
River / Stream
Rivers/streams are natural course of water flowing on the land surface
along a definite channel/slope regularly or intermittently towards a lake.
Most of the study area is agricultural land and there are a few
ephemeral streams and some water bodies. River, stream, lakes and
tanks have been identified easily on satellite imagery, even without
reference to SOI topographical maps by their blue tones and unique
shapes on satellite imageries.
There are several tanks present in the study area, which are water
bodies usually across the drainage. It is also bordered by pinkish white
or red tones on summer season images caused by vegetation on
peripheral sediments.
Water bodies, including rivers, lakes and tanks occupy 5.24 sq. km of
the area which is about 1.67% of the total area.
(vi)
Others
This is the category which is significant and is therefore included in
the classification. In the present study, this category includes the
wetland which comprises of areas along the rivers/streams,
reservoirs.
This category encompasses an area admeasuring 2.10 sq.km which
is 0.67% of the study area.
Field check / validation
All the doubtful areas and sample points are checked through field
verification.

PARAMETERS INDICATING ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY/STATUS

This section describes the base line data generated with respect to air,
water, noise and the ecological environments. The data with respect to
air, water or land environment are discussed separately in the following
sections.
03.07.01 Air environment

As mentioned in the previous chapters, the operation of the BRPL
pellet plant will result in continuous emission of pollutants like
PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NOx, CO and HC.
In view of this, it has been decided to carry out the Ambient Air Quality
(AAQ) survey for all conventional pollutants. Monitoring stations were
installed to monitor the ambient air quality and the observations are
detailed below.
(i)
Area of evaluation
The maximum stack height of BRPL pellet plant is 85m. As suggested
by T.A. Luft (1986), the recommended study area is upto a distance of
4.5 km (i.e. 50 times the stack height). However, considering the
project site area of 90 acre, and to adhere to MoEF norms, the
monitoring stations has been fixed in a radius of 10 km around the
BRPL plant site keeping midpoint of site as Centre.
The number of monitoring stations within the evaluation area has been
determined using US-EPA norms [Guideline for air quality monitoring
and data reporting under EPA, 1976] which specify that minimum
number of monitoring stations should be four for PM, three for SO 2and
NOX for a population of less than 1,00,000 within evaluation region.
The population based on 2011 census within 10 km (evaluation area)
is about 98,489. Thus, minimum six AAQ monitoring stations would be
adequate. However, it was decided to select ten monitoring stations
including one at core zone (inside BRPL pellet plant) in order to get
sufficient AAQ data from the study area.
(ii)
Location of AAQ monitoring stations

The screening procedure is in line with the method of Hough land and
Stephens (1976) (Ref. "The Design of Air Quality Monitoring Network",
R.E. Munn, 1981). In this method, wind direction frequencies are used.
Prospective monitoring stations were selected all around the project
site with due consideration to the wind direction and distance from the
site. A coverage factor is then calculated for all the potential stations
according to the following equation:
Chapter-3
79

Jajpur, Odisha
Ajk
FREQ (K)
(1 + D j )
where, Ajk=Coverage factor of the jth monitoring site in the kth

downwind sector from source.
FREQ (K) = Frequency of the wind direction in kth sector.
Dj = Distance of the site from the source
The selected AAQ monitoring locations are shown in Table 03 - 16 and
Fig. 03 - 21. The sampling stations are decided based on the results of
calculations.

(iii)
AAQ parameters and monitoring frequency

Background level of pollutants in the atmosphere was monitored at the
above ten stations. Monitoring was carried out twice a week for four weeks
in a month and three months in a season. Samples were collected for 24
hours/day to study the parameters like PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx, CO and
HC. The sampling and testing were carried out as per relevant norms of
CPCB (National Ambient Air Quality Standard of CPCB dt. 11.04.94).
Results
The maximum, minimum, average values for the monitored pollutants at
different locations for post monsoon season are presented in
Table 03 - 17. The monitored results have been compared with prescribed
statutory (CPCB) norms for "Residential, Rural and Other Areas". The
comparison indicates that all values of PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOX, CO and HC
are much below the stipulated norms.
(iv)
Status of air environment

The AAQ sample results confirm that there is background level
of conventional pollutants in the plant site due to industrial
source of the BRPL plant and its surroundings. The values
recorded are due to sources like industrial sources which also
include vehicular traffic. The observed values are in conformity
with those norms given by MoEF.

From the above results, it can be seen that the particulate matter is well
within the standards stipulated by MoEF and other parameters are also
within control.
Characterization of RSPM
Various substances and industrial processes, give exposure to
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are currently classified
as human carcinogens. Various samples have been collected and
tested as per OSHA (USA) Method 58, which specifies the collection of
particulates using a glass fiber filter (GFF) and gravimetric
determination of the benzene soluble organic fraction. If Benzene
Soluble Fraction (BSF) exceeds 0.2 mg/m3, then the sample should be
analyzed by Gas Chromatography to determine the presence of
selected PAHs. BSF in PM10 and BSF in PM2.5 also tested and found to
be within 0.2mg/m3), hence does not require to test for presence of
selected PAH in the sample by Gas Chromatographic technique. The
observed results are shown in Table 03 20 and 03 21 for PM10 and
PM2.5 respectively.

To assess physio-chemical and bacteriological characteristics of

surface water in the study area, samples were collected from the above
locations once during the monitoring season. The surface water
sources like river, streams and nala are commonly used by the
villagers.
Samples have been collected and are tested for pH, dissolved oxygen
content and preserved with the addition of nitric acid for testing metal
constituents at the laboratory. The collected samples were analyzed in
accordance with Indian Standards and the results have been compared
with recent MoEF norms for surface water quality criteria for Class A to
E, given in Table 03 - 23. Analytical results for post-monsoon season
are shown in Table 03 - 24. The results indicate that all the parameters
are within the recently prescribed norms.

From the TCLP test results, it is observed that only Fe and Mn values are
recorded. The other heavy metal results are well within the norms stipulated by
MoEF.
In view of leachate test, it can be concluded that the heavy metals are not
leached from the storage yard and thereby no groundwater contamination is
anticipated.

NOISE ENVIRONMENT
In order to know the ambient noise levels in the study area, noise levels were
measured at ten locations. These monitoring locations were selected based on
the following criteria:
Chapter-3
106

Jajpur, Odisha
Locations where noise generation is restricted (e.g. near hospitals, health

centre, and educational institutions).
Locations where ambient noise levels are affected by existing sources such
as commercial activities, public gathering places, and road traffic.
Background settings i.e. locations where there are no sources of man-made
noise except natural activities. Locations like the plant site will serve as
background ambient noise level for the study area.
The ten monitoring stations selected are listed in Table 03 - 29 and Fig. 03 - 25.

It can be observed from Table 03 - 31 that most of the values of the measured
noise levels are well within the day and night time norms for industrial areas,
residential areas and commercial areas. However, N3 recorded high noise level
during day and night time due to movement of heavy vehicles. The station wise
results are discussed below.
Project site (N1)
The observed noise values were in the range of 64.1 to 66.7 dB (A) during day
time (against the norms of 75 dB (A) for day time) and in the range of 61.9 to
62.5 at night time (against the Industrial norm of 70 dB (A) for night time).
Nuagan (N2)
The observed noise level varied between 53.9 to 54.5 and 42.3 to 43.5 dB (A)
during day and night time respectively. These monitored noise values are well
within the prescribed residential norms (55 and 45 dB (A) for day and night).
Managobindpur (N3)
The recorded noise levels were observed in the range of 64.7 to 65.4 and 60.3 to
61.7 dB (A), which are exceeding the permissible limits of silent zone. The reason
for higher noise level may be due to industrial background and heavy vehicular
movement.

ECOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT
The present study was undertaken with the following objectives:
To assess the nature and distribution of vegetation in and around the project
site within the study area
To assess the type of wild animals within the study area
To assess the biodiversity of natural system present in the study area
To ascertain migratory routes of fauna and possibility of breeding grounds
within the study area
To assess the tropic status of the water bodies present in the study area.
Methodology for ecological study

The area considered for the study is 10 km radius with the project site as center.
The different methods adopted were as follows:
Inventory of flora/fauna: The list of flora and fauna found in the forest
division (Jajpur) was collected from the working plan of the division for
reference. The list of flora and fauna found in the region was prepared by
conducting field survey and by discussions with concerned forest
department personnel using the list available in the working plan as a base.
Generation of primary data through systematic ecological studies: The
phyto-sociology of the vegetation (covering frequency, density, abundance
and species diversity) in the forest areas falling in the study area was
determined by conducting field studies in selected areas (by laying suitable
sizes of quadrant).
Discussion with local people so as to elicit information about local plant and
animals.
Consultation with different state government officials, especially from the
department of agriculture, horticulture and fisheries to know the existing
features and to assess any adverse impacts on the agriculture, horticulture
and fisheries in the area.
Sampling of water bodies for base line status of the planktons (phyto and
zoo) density and tropic status.
The present study is based on field studies conducted during post-monsoon

season.
The study area falls under Semi-arid climatic region as per Koppen classification
system. The area falls under agro-climatic zone*, Central Dry Zone. This zone
is characterized by annual rainfall ranging from 1200-1400 mm of which more
than 55% is received in Kharif season. The elevation ranges between 40 to 46 m
as per the site specific contours and it is 48 to 292 m abmsl with respect study
area of 10 km toposheet. The area is moderately populated and is undulated and
interspersed with small hillocks and hilly terrain. The types of forest observed
within the study area are as follows:

Study Area
The study area covers 10 km radius around the project site as centre. The
area exhibits a mildly undulated topography with varying elevations from
48 m to 292 m above MSL.
The landscape of the area represents a complex of agricultural land, rural
habitation and patches of natural vegetation (scrub land). The original
vegetation is generally classified as Tropical thorn-scrub. In the rest of
the area the original vegetation has disappeared completely, giving way to
agricultural fields.
The study area can roughly be divided into, undulated plain, hillocks and
flat lands. The study area covers industrial and agricultural lands. The
plains are used for agriculture. The hills and hillocks are generally covered

WATER RESOURCES
The fresh water requirement for pellet plant is being met from the ironore slurry filtrate received from its beneficiation plant located at Barbil.
About 243 to 280 m3/hr water is required to meet the pellet plant
requirement. The slurry filtrate is treated at WTP and the treated water
is stored in treated water storage reservoirs having 21000 m3 capacity.
03.13
LAND UTILIZATION
About 90 acres of industrial land has been allotted to BRPL by IDCO
for operating pellet plant. About 66% of this area is utilized for plant
facilities and the rest for green belt development. The existing plant
facilities are sufficient for future expansion, if any.
03.14
ENERGY AND FUEL RESOURCES

About 20 MW power is required to operate this 4 MTPA pellet plant
which is being received from Odisha Power Transmission Company
Limited. In addition to the above energy requirement, fuel oil (FO) is
also required for hardening the pellets, at the rate of 15-16 l/ tonne of
pellet production. In order to reduce the use of conventional sources of
energy, utilization of solar power is also envisaged. To ensure
uninterrupted plant operations during power failure, two numbers of DG
sets with 500 kVA capacity each are also installed in the plant.

Anticipated Environmental Impacts and
Mitigation Measures
04.01
GENERAL
The purpose of this chapter is to predict the potential environmental
impacts that could result from construction and operation of the BRPL
pellet plant. Both beneficial (positive) and potentially adverse
(negative) impacts are considered in this analysis. In this chapter,
various impacts during the operation of the plant and mitigation
measures envisaged along with the design have been discussed.

PREDICTION
OF
IMPACTS
DUE
TO
CONVENTIONAL
POLLUTANTS DURING CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF
THE PLANT
For the purpose of this impact analysis, a distinction is made between
direct and indirect environmental effects. For example, construction of
any plant will result in, direct impacts including land clearing, dust
generation, increased vehicular traffic etc. An indirect impact of plant
operation includes increased economic activity, employment
generation, improvement in infrastructural facilities etc.
The impact analysis for each environmental factor begins with a
definition of "significance criteria" which is defined as threshold levels
for defining whether significant impacts may occur. In some cases (e.g.
air quality, water quality) established standards are used as
significance criteria. Qualitative criteria including professional judgment
and guidance are used as indicators of significance for other
environmental factors (e.g. ecological factors). Impact significance is
assessed after consideration of the effectiveness of specific impact
controls, which have been incorporated in project design.
Mitigation measures like engineered safety features, have been applied
to address potentially significant adverse impacts. Unavoidable adverse
effects are identified as negative impacts, which may result even after
mitigation measures have been applied.

Construction phase
This is the first phase of activity in the project and involves
Site clearing and leveling

Construction of buildings & internal access roads
Fabrication and erection of equipment
Plantation development
The project site (90 acres) is under possession of BRPL and the plant
is in operation. Approach road to site already exists. Internal access
roads within the plant area have been laid.
The direct and indirect impacts due to the above activities are already
happened and touched upon in this section in order to fulfill the
EIA/EMP requirement.
1.
Site clearing and leveling

Site clearing activities will involve the use of construction equipment for
removing, leveling and excavation, which may have some impacts on
air, water, noise and soil within close proximity of the plant area.
Detailed topographic survey of the BRPL project site was carried out
before construction. As stated earlier, the site is located on a flat
terrain and mildly sloping towards east north east. The ground level
varies between RL + 40m (north side) to RL + 45 m (south side) with
an average RL of + 43m. Various buildings are constructed for plant
utility and best engineering practice was adopted to make use of the
ground contours.
Hence, major cutting and filling was not involved which had minimized
the dust and traffic hazards due to less material handling and
transportation of the same. The drainage pattern also maintained
almost nearer to original, to ensure natural behavior as before. The
impact was temporary for a short duration and restricted within the
plant site. Hence, it can be stated that the impacts if any, was
insignificant and the remedial measures taken at that time are
discussed in subsequent paragraph.
To minimize the impact, the site stripping activity was carried out during
the non-monsoon seasons to avoid any discharge of soil or silt to
nearby surface water bodies. The project site was prepared in such a
way, to avoid erosion of soil or carryover of silt (run-off). The project
site was barren or sparsely occupied by small wild bushes. These trees
were not felled/uprooted in view of construction activities, conversely
Chapter-4

Jajpur, Odisha
then existing plantations were converted into part of plantation
programme. In addition to this, fresh saplings were planted in other
locations like in the periphery of the plant site under the plantation
development program of the project.
Impact on physiography and drainage
As described in Chapter - 3, under sub-surface geology (section
03.04.01(V)), the plant area falls under impermeable zone. The project
site is mainly governed by simple drainage system. The surface run-off
water from the project site drains into nearby Nallah. The study area
located on an elevated land mass than the surroundings which
facilitates quick surface water drainage. In view of this, flooding is not
expected in the project site.
Even first order drains are not observed at the project site. The
drainage density of the area is 1.85 km/sq.km and the top soil layer is
unsaturated with low infiltration capacity of clay soil. However, it is
underlined by impermeable rock strata of granite & gneiss. The existing
ground slope with respect to project site is towards north (Refer
Drainage Fig. 03 - 03, General layout with ground contours) that
facilitates the run-off into stream which is passing through north side of
the project site. During construction phase, suitable surface water
drains were constructed to route the surface water without disturbing
the prevailing drainage pattern. The storm water drainage network
along with settling cum detention tanks of the project site has been
shown in Fig. 04 - 01.
The site is considered into one sub-watershed and drainage
impressions are generated from the highest elevation. As the plant
structures are located in the middle portion of the site, the existing
drainge pattern is maintained to the large extent. Only strom water
drains were constructed to guide the surface run-off. Stormwater
drainage network were constructed around the plant and they finally
discharged to the principal natural drains.

The outlet locations of the strom water channel were maintained with
ground slopes. Increase in built-up area lead to higher
run-off. In order to avoid floods due to high run-off detention cum
settling tanks are designed and provided to maintain the peakflow of
pre construction scenario of the plant. Rain water harvesting and
recharge wells are also provided to contain the flow which is dealt in
subsequent sections. Therefore, it is ensured that both the yield and
peak flow condition remains unaltered to downstream area of the site.

The consequent changes in Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) by

implementation of plant are shown in Table 04 - 01. Storm water
drainage network developed for the plant area, which is ultimately
joining the existing main natural channel of the sub water shed. It can
also be observed from the Table 04 - 01, that nearly 75% of the
existing land had been covered under built-up area by constructing
buildings & roads which are needed for the project. The increase in the
built-up area will lead to increase in run-off from the site.
To estimate the run-off in pre and post-construction scenarios for the
site a value of 0.6 and 0.9 run-off co-efficient were used. Average
rainfall of 1450 mm is considered for calculation. Table 04 - 02 shows
the estimated run-off volume from the watersheds in pre and post
construction scenario. The annual average run-off volume increases
from 316958 m3 to 703626 m3 showing an increase of nearly 122% in
the post construction scenario.

Such increases are likely to exceed the carrying capacity of natural

drains in downstream area and leads to flood at downstream of the
plant site are expected. Hence, the depth and width of existing stream
was measured to identify the carrying capacity of the stream in peak
flow condition and it was observed that even during peak flow condition
the stream will not be flooded. However, settling and rainwater
structures are proposed in the outlet of building down comers which
will detain the water for some time to maintain the outlet peak flow
conditions of pre-construction scenario. These detention ponds/settling
tanks are provided at junctions and site low lying areas. The outflow
from these detention settling tanks are connected to existing outlets of
the site.
Fig. 04 - 01 shows the locations of settling cum detention tanks. The
detention tanks provide twin advantages of delay the peak flow
discharge to desired level as well as allow the accumulated rain water
to recharge the groundwater.
2.
Construction of internal access roads

The project calls for construction of internal access roads of about ~10
km in length inside the plant area. Construction activity for the internal
access roads lasted for a few months. The impact due to this activity
was on air, surface water and soil. Proper drains were provided on the
sides of the access roads to collect the storm water. Constructions of
roads were completed before the onset of the monsoon, so that any
adverse impact on air and surface water quality was minimized. During
non-monsoon season frequent wetting of the roads was undertaken to
avoid fugitive dust generation. Therefore, the impact was of short
duration and not significant.
Chapter-4
143

Jajpur, Odisha
3.
Construction of main plant

The construction of main plant involves structures, fabrication of
equipment and erection at the site like stores, workshops, admin
building etc. These activities had some impact on air, noise, surface
water, soil, etc. due to excavation, leveling, civil construction,
fabrication and erection work. These impacts were felt within the plant
site itself, for a short duration and were not of significant. Further, the
plant site is located away from the residential area. The nearest
settlement is about 0.5 km away from the plant site. The plant activities
were concentrated in the middle of the site. Thus, any significant
impact due to construction activity on parameters like noise and air
pollution might not have been felt on the residential area.
4.
Plantation
Plantation developments were undertaken as a part of the construction
phase. This had significant positive impacts not only on ecology but
also on air, noise level, soil, aesthetics and health of the region. Since
the plants were grown-up to desired height and density. The plantation
along the boundary has been shown in Fig. 04 - 02.
5.
Indirect impacts during construction phase

The indirect impacts due to construction phase of the project
components were increased transport, development of ancillary and
associated small-scale units, shops and market places. These
developments had a positive impact on the socio-economic structure in
the surrounding area of the plant site. Hence, this can be considered
as positive impact to the people of the surrounding areas.
6.
Overall impact during construction phase

All possible impacts due to various activities during the construction
phase on different environmental factors have been identified and
predicted. The study shows that the impact was confined within the site
boundary, low in magnitude and lasted only for a short duration and
perished naturally once the construction period is over. Further, the
plant is in operation now and hence, the above impact does not warrant
any further analysis.

Impact of conventional pollutant
(i)
Air environment
The existing plant has five (5) numbers of stacks. These include
three numbers stacks related to process and two numbers of
material handling stacks. The details of the stacks and their
locations are shown in Table 03 18. The generation of
conventional pollutants and their extent of dispersion are
detailed in this section.
The prediction of Ground Level Concentrations (GLC) of PM10, NOX
and SO2 has been carried out using ISCST-3 air quality simulation
model released by USEPA. This model also incorporates the complex
screening model dispersion algorithms for receptors in complex terrain
i.e., where the receptor elevation is above the release height of the
source. When, one assumes complex terrain, the model assumes a
normal distribution in the vertical and a uniform distribution across a
22.5 degree sector. It will select the higher of the simple and complex
terrain values on a hour-by-hour, source-by-source and
receptor-by-receptor basis. The model accepts hourly meteorological
data including mixing height, stabilities and terrain features to define
the conditions for plume rise for each source and receptor combination
for each hour of input meteorological data sequentially and calculates
short term averages up to 24 hours.
The emission concentrations of PM, SO2 & NOx for different units are
computed based on following:
a)

Emissions for Indurating furnace discharge through ESP and wet

scrubber and for Hearth Layer Separation Building through wet
scrubber as obtained from actual stack monitoring of the units.

As a first step, actual monitored site meteorological data for Postmonsoon season has been considered. The meteorological data was
generated near plant site for three months period on hourly basis for
the season. Stabilities have been computed with the monitored data by
Turner's method and mixing heights have been taken from site specific
SODAR studies conducted at site during monitoring period.
GLCs were computed considering all monitored days of meteorological
data for the post monsoon season. The maximum GLC's for each grid
point were predicted with respect to pollutants like PM, SO 2 and NOX.
From the results the maximum values of GLCs which occurred have
been selected for prediction of impact. The days on which the
maximum of GLC values have occurred and the meteorological data of
that particular day has been given in Table 04 - 04.

Water environment
Chapter - 2 identifies the requirements of fresh water for the project.
The total requirement of fresh water is in the range of 243 to 280 m3/hr.
The surface and groundwater availability in the study area is observed
to be limited and is required to be conserved for public utility. In view of
this, various water conservation techniques will be adopted for the
project and are detailed in this section.
Chapter-4
154

Jajpur, Odisha
The generation of wastewater from the process plants is classified into
two streams, i.e., One is received with iron ore slurry from which the
filtrate after filtration from the filter press will be taken to thickener for
treatment. After adding flocculent, the clarified water is sent to plant
water reservoir. The capacity of the reservoir is to meet 15 days
operation of the pellet plant. The other stream is generated from
domestic use and canteen.
This water with flow rate of about 2 m3/hr will be treated at MBBR
based STP and treated water will be used for gardening. Thereby zero
water discharge concept is ensured. Only during torrential rainy days
the excess water from STP would be sent to either rainwater
recharging pit or to the nearest drain.
About 62 - 69 m3/hr of water will be required for process while
additional about 41 to 45 m3/hr will be required for cooling tower as
make-up water which is lost during drift and evaporation. The cooling
tower blow down (1m3/hr) is used at ESP/scrubbers to convert the ESP
dust into slurry.
Here the dual purpose i.e. ESP dust collection as well as using blow
down water from cooling tower for slurry making is met, thereby
reducing the waste water generation. Generally the blow down water is
discharged as waste water in other plants. The slurry collected from
scrubbers and ESP is sent to thickener for treatment.
About 4 m3/hr will be generated from floor washing and filter washing
which is also containing iron ore will be sent to thickener through
settling tank for treatment. The dust suppression system like sprinklers
on the road side and raw material handling area consumes about 118
to 140 m3/hr. It is estimated that about 7 to 8 m3/hr would be required
for plantation. The water balance diagram is shown in the Fig. 04 - 06.

(iii)
Land environment
Operation of BRPL does not result in discharge of waste into the land
environment. Hazardous solid wastes are not generated from the plant.
The solid waste generated from ESP is converted in to slurry and used
in the plant itself as a raw material. The only solid waste generated is
undersized pellet which is stored within the plant site near product
storage. It has been planned to crush it and reuse it in the plant itself.
Therefore, no adverse impact on the land environment is anticipated.
Impact on the land environment due to accidental leakage of FO from
dyke is dealt in subsequent chapter and will not have any impact on
land.
(iv)
Noise environment
The machinery inside the plants are the major source of noise.
Generally, noise will be generated due to operation of the rotating
machinery like induced draft cooling tower fans, compressors, DGs and
blowers.
Based on operation of similar plant in India and abroad, the noise
levels from these machineries are in the range of 58 - 65 dB (A) at
source. Suitable acoustic enclosures, hoods, laggings, silencers
screens etc. are provided for above equipment so that the sound level
exposure in working areas can be restricted below 90 dB (A) for 8
hours exposures. These values can be considered as reference values
for the existing plant, since identical type of equipment are already in
use.
The ambient noise level was measured outside the BRPL site
(Managobindapur village). The noise level is in the range of 39.8 to
50.1 dB (A) which is also found to be well within the threshold value.
Further, all equipment in the plant are designed/operated in such a way
that the noise level will not be exceeding 90 dB (A) as per the
recommended guideline value from CPCB and OSHA Standard
(Occupational Safety and Health Administration). Personal protection
measures like earmuffs are made available and operating personnel
are instructed to use them wherever noise level is high. Noise proof
enclosures will be provided wherever required.
The operation of the equipment and machinery of the pellet plant does
not increase the noise levels in the public domain, as there is sufficient
gap between the plant and the nearest public domain. The security
zone all-round the boundary grown with plantation which further
Chapter-4
157

attenuates the noise. Hence, noise impact on the environment is
negligible.
(v)
Impact on resources
Impact on surface water
The plant water requirement is met from the iron slurry received from
beneficiation plant located at Barbil. Raw water storage facilities are
constructed at site to meet 15 days water requirement of the pellet
plant.
The drinking water requirement for the project will be met through
IDCO pipe lines being laid by the State Government authorities.
The estimated water requirement for the plant is about 243 to 280
m3/hr. This is being met from the fresh water source mentioned above
as well as from the proposed recycles facilities and rain water
harvesting envisaged in the project.
Rainwater harvesting is expected to reduce the total consumption of
freshwater to the extent.
It is expected that recycling of STP treated water will reduce the total
freshwater demand by about 0.013%. Further, about 0.013% of
freshwater demand can be met by reusing treated process water from
the scrubber/ ESP facilities.
Impact on groundwater
Since, the entire water requirement for project is met from iron ore
slurry received from Barbil, groundwater is not used to meet the
process requirements. Therefore, analysis of impact due to withdrawal
of groundwater is not applicable. However, treated water is stored in
geo-non permeable membrane based raw water facility storage tanks
to avoid the groundwater percolation.
Others
Batteries will be disposed on a buy-back basis while procuring
replacement batteries. Metals will be sold as scraps.
(vi)
Overall impact during operation phase

Assessment of impact of conventional pollutants in air, water and land
environment has been carried as detailed earlier. The operation and
Chapter-4
158

Jajpur, Odisha
maintenance activities do not adversely affect the flora and fauna of the
environment, nor there will be any significant adverse health impact.
However, beneficial impacts from socioeconomic view, especially in
terms of employment is discussed in Chapter 8.
04.03
MITIGATION MEASURES
04.03.01
Construction phase
The control measures undertaken during construction are already
detailed under construction phase. Since, it is an operating plant it is
not further discussed.
04.03.02
Operational phase
The basic design philosophy of the BRPL pellet plant is such that it
takes care of process gas which is treated and filtered to limit the
release of pollutants to a level much below the statutory limits.
The first approach will be inherently safe design which aims to avert
such situations to the best extent possible. This is done by monitoring
and rigorously controlling the plant operating conditions. Moreover,
design features such as process and equipment selection also play a
vital role in this context.
The sections that follow, discuss the various mitigative measures
adopted in the plant:
1.
Mitigation by process design

Control of gaseous release
There are five number of stacks installed in the plant. Out of five, three
are related to process. The dust generated from the feed end and
discharged end are connected to scrubber and the scrubbed water is
reused as a raw material. The process gas generated at induration due
to burning of FO passes through ESP. The ESPs dust collected at
ESP hopper are converted in to slurry and reused in the plant as raw
material. Hence, air pollution from process is not expected. The air
pollution equipment as installed are shown in Chapter-2 Project
description.
2.
Mitigation measures for fugitive emission

The process is mainly wet process and does not generate much dust
emissions. However, fugitive emission due to transportation and
Chapter-4
159

Jajpur, Odisha
material handing are unavoidable. The measures implemented at the
plant site are as follows:
3.
At raw material handling and product handling area are equipped

with dust suppression system like water sprinklers and high
pressure water cannons.
Secondary fugitive emission generated from belt conveyors and
transfer points are covered with hoods.
Low pressure water sprinklers at roads
All product and raw material trucks are covered with tarpaulins to
avoid transportation dust.
The ESP dusts are collected in hopper and converted in to slurry
and used in the system
Raw material transportation

The main raw material is iron ore slurry and it is in wet stage received
at site through pipeline. Hence, no transportation problem is anticipated
at site. However, about 3.5% of total raw material requirement will be
handled at site in dry condition.
Raw material receipt
The coke breeze will be collected from the nearest Steel plant and
stored at raw material handling area. While transporting, the truck will
covered with tarpaulin. While unloading the dust suppression system
will be activated.
The lime stones are in aggregates ranging from 20 to 25 mm size and
grinded in the ball mill. The trucks are covered with tarpaulin and other
compliances are also implemented. Hence no emission from
transportation is expected.
04.03.03
Sewage treatment plant

For Sewage Treatment Plant, Moving Bed Bio Reactor (MBBR)
process is a simplified operation system and requires less space than
traditional wastewater treatment systems.
MBBR technology employs thousands of polyethylene biofilm carriers
operating in mixed motion within an aerated wastewater treatment
basin. Each individual bio carrier increases productivity through
providing protected surface area to support the growth of heterotrophic
and autotrophic bacteria within its cells. This high-density population of
bacteria achieves high-rate biodegradation within the system, while
also offering process reliability and ease of operation.
Chapter-4
160

Jajpur, Odisha
This technology provides cost-effective treatment with minimal

maintenance since MBBR processes self-maintain an optimum level of
productive biofilm. Additionally, the biofilm attached to the mobile
biocarriers within the system automatically responds to load
fluctuations. Various stages of the treatment process are discussed
hereunder.
Bar Screen
Raw sewage from the source is usually received into the screening
chamber by gravity. Screen provided will remove all floatables and big
size matter such as plastic bottles, polythene bags, glasses, stones,
etc., which may otherwise choke the pipeline and pumps (to be
provided at the equalization tank made of RCC Structure).
Oil & Grease Trap
If the sewage generated includes maximum quantity from kitchen and
canteen, there is a possibility of higher concentrations of oil and grease
in the raw sewage. It needs to be removed before biological treatment
as it otherwise may cause problems for biological treatment.
Usually, a small civil construction tank with a baffle wall is provided.
The oil and grease removed by gravity floats to the surface, which is
removed manually (to be provided at the equalization tank made of
RCC Structure).
Equalization Tank
Usually, sewage generation is more during morning hours and evening
hours. Visually no sewage is generated during night hours. Any
biological system needs constant feed for bacteria to work efficiently.
Hence, it is important to put an equalization tank to collect the excess
flow during peak hours and feed sewage in lean hours. A typical
equalization tank has a capacity of 6 hours of average flow rate. The
tank is of RCC civil construction.
Provision of air grid is to be made for thoroughly mixing the sewage to
make it of homogenous quality and to keep the suspended matter in
suspension and to avoid septic conditions.
Biological Treatment
Through modular compact STP made out of MS Fabrication and to be
mounted on civil platform. The main pollutants in the raw sewage are
Chapter-4
161

Jajpur, Odisha
represented in the form of Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD). The bacterial ability to synthesize
the organic matter to harmless end products like carbon dioxide and
water molecules is utilized to treat the raw sewage.
The bio-reactions are carried out in controlled environment in the bioreactor. The bio-reactor comprises of a tank, fitted with aeration grid.
The bacterial activity needs dissolved oxygen, to synthesize the organic
matter. This is supplied by passing air in form of small bubbles. The air
is passed at the bottom of the tank, which increase the contact area of
the air bubbles thereby increasing the efficiency of absorption of
oxygen. Oxygen dissolves in liquid, is used by the bacteria.
The bacterial population grows on a specially designed carrier media,
which we call here as MBBR media. This forms an integral part of the
reactor system. The media is made of small polypropylene elements. A
very large surface area is available for the bacterial population to grow.
The bacteria grow on the MBBR media, by using the organic content in
the raw sewage, and the dissolved oxygen available. Due to constant
aeration, the media is set in kinetic motion, so that continuous mixing
takes place. The bacterial layer growth on the media surface increases
to a certain extent, and then gets sloughed off after a specific period.
This phenomenon is called sloughing. This creates new surface for
further bacterial growth. Sloughing takes place only after complete
growth and subsequent dying-off of the bacterial layer and hence the
sloughed off material is completely digested.
The bacterial reaction is carried out in two reactors, for maximizing the
BOD removal efficiency. Hence, two such reactors are provided in
series. Within the reactors, arrangements are made to retain the plastic
media in place. Air supply is done through fine bubble diffusers.
Tube Settler
The Sloughed biomass must be removed before the treated sewage
can be disposed off. Hence a secondary clarifier in the form of a tube
settler is provided. In the tube settler the sloughed bio-mass is removed
& suspended solids are settled under action of gravity. The settled
mass is drained and discarded as sludge.
Tube settler systems are inexpensive solution for waste water
treatment plants to increase treatment capacity, improve effluent water
quality and decrease operating cost. Tube settler is constructed with
light weight PVC, tube settler modules, can be easily supported with
minimal structures that often incorporate effluent troughs and baffles.
Chapter-4
162

Jajpur, Odisha
Modules are available in variety of sizes to fit any tank geometry and
tube lengths to accommodate a wide range of flows, hence are a
scientific and economic packaged treatment system.
Tube settlers and parallel plates increase the settling capacity of
circular clarifiers and/or rectangular sedimentation basin by reducing
the vertical distance a floc particle must settle before agglomerating to
form larger particles. Tube settlers use multiple tubular channels sloped
at an angle of 550 to 60and adjacent to each other, which combine to
form an increased effective settling area.
This provides for a particle settling depth that is significantly less than
the settling depth of a conventional clarifier, reducing settling times.
Tube settlers capture the settle able fine floc that escapes the
clarification zone beneath the tube settlers and allows the larger floc to
travel to the tank bottom in a more settle able form. The tube settlers
channel collects solids into a compact mass which promotes the solid
to slide down the tube channel.
Disinfection
The treated sewage is then added with chlorine in shape of Bleaching
Powder / Sodium Hypochlorite to kill the pathogens/ E-coil coliforms, so
that it becomes fit for disposal. The available chlorine in the Bleaching
Powder / Sodium Hypochlorite being a very strong oxidizing agent, a
small dose of 3-4 mg/l is enough to achieve desired levels of
disinfection. Small residual chlorine (of the order of 0.2-0.25 mg/l ) also
ensures that there is no re-growth of E-coil, till the final disposal point.
The treated sewage, now substantially free from organic contamination,
free from coliform bacteria can be safely disposed off or can be reused
for plantation / dust suppression.
Tertiary Treatment
In case the water is to be reused the treated sewage after disinfection
is first passed through a bed of filtration sand, quartz and pebbles and
subsequently through a bed of activated carbon for further polishing.
While filtration restricts the suspended solids, activated carbon absorbs
organic colour and odour. The filtration bed periodically requires a
backwash.
Filtration through pressure vessel is suggested and the kind of filter
considered is Multi Grade Filter (MGF).
Chapter-4
163

Jajpur, Odisha
(a)
Multi Grade Filter (MGF): (MOC MS)
The Multi Grade Filter uses a combination of different graded sand,

quartz and pebbles of different size and this works under VARY-VOID
principle. This is a deep bed filtration system having approximately 36
height of filter media.
This produces high quality of filtrate and can run more than 24 hours in
between two back wash depending on the decanted water turbidity.
The specific flow rate can be selected as per the filtration area of the
MGF, adequate fine sand and quartz is used to fill all the large voids in
the coarse sand, so that in the media bed, the voids and pores are
predominantly large. But, there are sufficient voids and pores
throughout the depth of the filter media to ensure entrapment of small
particles of suspension and to ensure a high standard filtrate.
(b)
Activated Carbon Filter (ACF): (MOC MS)
The filtrate from the MGF shall be routed through the Activated Carbon
Filter, where along with the filtration media a layer of granular activated
carbon is given which is of coconut base and between 4 to 8 mm size
with 900 mg/gm of iodine. This helps in removing the excess of chloride
and bad odour.
Sludge Handling System
The sludge from the Reactors and Tube settler is removed from the
bottom of the tanks and transferred to Sludge Holding Tank either by
gravity or through pump depending on the site condition. Sludge
present in the tank is subsequently used as manure after drying
through a centrifuge.

REDUCTION IN ENERGY CONSUMPTION

In addition to adoption of improved technology, to continuously reduce
power consumption with increase in output, several other measures
such as utilization of nonconventional energy resources are
contemplated. Large number of solar street lights are planned to be
installed. In a nutshell, to some extent installation of solar lights will
reduce energy consumption effectively.
04.05
RAINWATER HARVESTING (RWH)

Rainwater harvesting broadly refers to the collection and storage of
rainwater and recharge of groundwater. In general, water harvesting is
an activity of direct collection and usage of rainwater to reduce the
freshwater consumption from the source which is under constant
pressure. Otherwise, the precious rainwater will run off, which can be
stored for direct use or can be utilized to recharge the groundwater
depending upon the technique used for harvesting.
Rainwater harvesting for BRPL project
As described earlier, BRPL project site has a gently sloping terrain with
the slope towards north east. The surface soil consists of loose to
dense brownish red soil with gravel. An un-weathered rock layer having
a thickness >30 m is encountered after the weathered layer. The
geology of the plant site is favorable for rainwater harvesting. The
scope of rainfall harvesting for plant site has been examined, with the
view to supplement the water supply with natural rainwater, which is
freely available and to reduce the freshwater conveying and
consumption.
BRPL project will implement rainwater harvesting in following ways:
1)
2)
Roof top rainwater harvesting

Ground water recharge
A long term scheme has been planned for both types of rainwater
harvesting techniques and they are described in subsequent
paragraphs.
Roof top rainwater harvesting
The plant supporting facilities like administration building, stores, are
co-located in the same area (adjacent buildings) and together
constitute a roof top area of about 278 m2.
Chapter-4
166

Jajpur, Odisha
Roof top rainwater harvesting provides the cleanest collected water
which can be put to plant usage with minimum treatment. Hence, it is
proposed to provide RCC rainwater harvesting tanks to collect the
water.
The rainwater down comers from these buildings will be interlinked and
brought to the proposed RWH tanks. Suitable pretreatment, based
upon the process/end requirements, will be provided to harvest the
rainwater for process usages/plantation program. The overflow from
the tank will be led to nearby storm water drain and will be further
utilized for groundwater recharge. Fig. 04 - 08 shows the schematics
of proposed roof top rainwater harvesting.

Considering a conservative estimation of rainwater harvesting, about
340 m3/yr. The overflows from the tanks will further indirectly facilitate
groundwater recharge.
Groundwater recharge
Groundwater recharging is also planned. The geotechnical details and
aquifer properties have been studied in detail. Based upon the geology
10 locations have been identified to recharge the groundwater.

PLANTATION DEVELOPMENT PLAN
04.06.01
General
Green cover is an important sink for air pollutants and it also absorbs
noise. Enhancing green cover not only mitigates pollutants but also
improves the ecological conditions/aesthetics and reduces the
adversities of extreme weather conditions. Trees also have major longterm impacts on soil quality and the ground water table. By using
suitable plant species, green cover can be developed in specific zones
to provide protection from emitted pollutants and noise.
Plant species suitable for green cover should not only be able to
flourish in the area but must also have rapid growth rate, evergreen
habit, large crown volume and small/pendulous leaves with smooth
surfaces. All these traits may not co-exist in a single species.
Therefore a combination of these is sought while selecting trees for
plantation.
The saplings will be planted close to the source or to the area to be
protected to optimize the attenuation within physical limitations.
The green cover will serve the following purposes:
04.06.02
Compensate the damage to vegetation due to operation of the

plant.
Prevent the spread of fugitive dust generated, if any, due to
project and allied activities.
Attenuate noise generated by the project.
Reduce soil erosion
Help to stabilize the slope of project site.
Increases green cover and improve aesthetics.
Attract avifauna to re-colonise the area.
Selection of Species
The species for plantation are selected on the basis of soil quality,
place of plantation, chances of survival, commercial value (timber
value, ornamental value, etc.), etc. It is to be noted that only
indigenous suitable species are planted. Exotic species like Eucalyptus
and Australian acacia are not planted. The species for green cover
development is selected in consultation with State Forest Department
and State Soil Conservation Department. Mixed plantations are done
keeping optimum spacing between the saplings. However, the

Plantation Scheme
Plant saplings were planted in pits at about 2-3m intervals so
that the tree density is about 1500 to 1600 trees per ha. The pits
were filled with a mixture of good quality soil and organic
manure and insecticide. The saplings/trees were watered using
the recovered water from the STP and treated discharges from
project. They were manured using sludge from the STP. In
addition, kitchen waste from plants canteen were used as
manure either after composting or by directly burying the
manure at the base of the plants. The saplings were planted just
after the commencement of the monsoons to ensure maximum
survival. The species selected for plantation will be locally
growing varieties with fast growth rate and ability to flourish even
in poor quality soils.
A total of about 33% of the project area is planned to be
developed as green cover in project area including avenue
plantation
04.06.04
Plantations/Vegetation
In the project premises plantation already exists. Care will be taken to
preserve them as far as possible. The planned green cover will cover
most of the possible areas within the plant boundary.

Post Plantation Care

Immediately after planting the seedlings, watering has to be done. The
treated wastewater discharge will be used for watering the plants
during non-monsoon period. Further watering will depend on the
rainfall. In the dry seasons watering will be regularly done especially
during February to June. Watering of younger saplings will be more
frequent. Manuring will be done using organic manure (animal dung,
agricultural waste, kitchen waste etc.). Younger saplings will be
surrounded with tree guards. Diseased and dead plants will be
uprooted and destroyed and replaced by fresh saplings. Growth/health
and survival rate of saplings will be regularly monitored and remedial
actions will be undertaken as required.

IMPACT ON TRAFFIC
The existing traffic was studied at site and it reveals that the present
traffic load is moderate. Since the plant is in operation the exiting traffic
is already reflected in the study. The road which is leading to site is
state highway and the traffic is moderate. Hence, without causing any
disturbance the pellet plant traffic can be accommodated.

CONCLUSION
From the foregoing description it is evident that mitigation measures
form integral part of the design of the facility. The present plans to
mitigate the environmental impact from pollutants, seem to be
adequate and no additional measures are required.

Analysis of Alternatives
(Technology and Site)
05.01
GENERAL
All Industries have their own ongoing program for research and
development by pursuing different technologies. Steel making
industries are not an exemption for research & developmental work and
infact, they are more vigorously pursuing the research works. Raw
materials replacement is one area which requires immediate attention
for research in order to meet the demand of feed ores. Globally iron ore
resources are either depleting fast or to be mined in environmentally
sensitive area. The past forty years of mining led to lot of fines with low
grade iron which cannot be fed into blast furnaces directly. Earlier,
these low grade fines were considered as mine waste and they were
dumped at mine sites as waste dump. However, advent of new
technology facilitates to convert the waste into useful products.
Pelletisation of iron ores is one technology born out of various research
programs carried out internationally.
05.01.01
Induration Process for Iron ore green balls

The major indurating processes developed for thermal treatment of
green pellets are as follows:
Shaft furnace process

Grate-rotary hearth-shaft furnace process
Annular furnace process
Circular indurating furnace process
Travelling grate process
Grate-kiln process
Amongst the above pellet processes, the travelling grate process and
Grate-kiln process are most advanced and the advantages and
disadvantages of these two are described below.
05.01.02

The travelling grate machine used for induration of green pellets
resembles the well-known sintering machine of Dwight Lloyd design.
The equipment consists of three main parts:
Chapter-5
The central part is movable and consists of pallets, comprising of

a frame and a supporting structure into which grate bars are

175

Jajpur, Odisha
inserted. The pallets are connected by means of sliding seal bars
with the wind boxes in a gas tight manner
The bottom part consists of the stationary wind boxes connected

with gas mains and the moving grate
The upper part comprises of heating and air supply system in a

stationary hood above the grate.
The system serves to carry the necessary drying, heating or cooling of

gases through the pellet bed. Important process equipment is fans with
which the process gases are moved through the charge. At one end,
the green balls are charged and the indurated pellets leave the grate at
the opposite end. The entire thermal treatment is achieved during one
passage of pallets. To protect the grate bars from thermal shocks,
hearth and side layers of indurated pellets are used.
The advantages of Travelling grate induration process are production of
pellet from different types of iron ore fines, uniform quality of pellets,
possibility of use of different types of fuels including non-coking coal,
relatively low specific heat consumption, production of large pellet
quantities in one machine etc. As a result, this process is one of the
most popular processes for production of pellets. As the machine
features a sophisticated system of gas recirculation within the individual
zones, a high-precision control and high degree of automation have
also been developed for most economic operation of the travelling
grate machines. In India, all the operating pellet plants have adopted
Travelling grate process.
05.01.03
Grate kiln process

The grate kiln process is also the most common process for pellet
hardening. It is basically a modification of the Lepol cement making
technology. It differs from the rest of the pellet hardening units in which
drying, hardening and cooling are carried out in a single device. The
grate kiln unit comprises of three stages viz. straight grate, rotary kiln
and circular cooler. The green balls are first dried and preheated on the
straight grate by gases discharged from the rotary kiln. They are then
hardened in a counter flow manner in the rotary kiln and air cooled in a
annular cooling system.
The first grate kiln unit was commissioned by M/s. Cleveland Cliffs in
the Humboldt Mine plant during 1960. The grate has two or more wind
boxes to provide for the gas draught. The heat for drying and preheat is
supplied by the gases discharged from the rotary kiln, and hot air from
the cooler is utilised in the rotary kiln. The bed on the drying and
preheating grates is 150-200 mm whereas the bed on the straight grate
machine is deeper. The firing on the rotary kiln lasts longer and the
material is cooled in a separate cooler, such as circular cooler, in which
Chapter-5

176

Jajpur, Odisha
cooled air passes through a relatively deep (0.8-1.0 m) bed of pellets.
A number of modifications of grate-kiln process have been made to
improve thermal efficiency and the biggest rotary kiln installed in USA
has a capacity of 4.0 Mt/yr.
The major drawback of grate kiln system is likely to build-up of
materials inside the rotary kiln and it is necessary to test the raw
materials to establish proper thermal regime of the kiln. The only plant
installed in India with grate-kiln process was at Noamundi and had
been dismantled. However, the grate kiln process has been adopted
for production of pellets from different types of iron ore fines and the
specific energy consumption is low compared to Travelling grate
process. The quality of pellets (produced by this process) with respect
to tumbler and shatter index are superior and uniform, as pellets are
rotated and tumbled continuously during firing inside the kiln.
A comparison of travelling grate process and grate kiln process is given
in Table 05 - 01.

Selection of induration process

Based on the above, it may be concluded that out of several processes
of pellet hardening, either Travelling grate or grate kiln process can
only be selected for the plant as hematite ore is to be processed and
both the above processes are most established for processing such
types of ores. However, based on the operating experiences in such
large scale plants in India, Travelling grate process has been selected
for the plant.
The plant is equipped with latest state-of-the-art automation and control
system for uniform heating and firing of green pellets, speed control of
the grate, etc. for production of superior uniform quality of products.

SITE SELECTION
To set-up a pellet plant, three different sites were considered. First at
BRPLs own iron ore beneficiation plant at Barbil which is located at the
foot hill of mines. The second site was indentified near to Paradip port
and third is at Kalinga Nagar notified industrial estate area.
Out of the above three different sites Kalinga Nagar notified industrial
estate area is considered due to the following reasons.
Chapter-5
Kalinga Nagar notified industrial estate area is a steel

178

Jajpur, Odisha
manufacturing hub of eastern India.
The availability of other raw material like coal breeze can be met
easily from nearby steel plants.
The land was made readily available by IDCO and hence, no

direct R & R issues for BRPL.
The product can be easily supplied to the nearby steel plants and
export through Paradip port facilities
Availability of power & water sources at convenient distance
Suitable seismic zone
The site is not falling within the vicinity of any monument or in an

archeologically sensitive area.
No declared biodiversity parks/sanctuaries are there in the

Since, the above features are favorably disposed for the project and
also the land was readily made available to BRPL for 4 MTPA iron ore
pellet plant, the BRPL management decided to install the plant at
Kalinga Nagar industrial area.

Chapter-6
Environmental Monitoring Programme
06.01
GENERAL
Analysis of impacts and mitigation measures has been discussed in
chapter-4. Several measures have been proposed to mitigate any
anticipated impact resulting from the operation of the BRPL pellet plant.
In order to ensure that the measures adopted serve the intended
purpose effectively to the required degree, a monitoring program needs
to be implemented. Also based on the baseline data collected on
various environmental parameters and with the prediction of impacts, it
is desirable to have an Environmental Monitoring Program to establish
the trend of various environmental parameters and their compliance
with the discharge limits specified by the regulating agencies. This
chapter describes the scope and details of such a monitoring program
already implemented and proposed to be implemented for the plant.
For any project, besides monitoring of conventional parameters around
plant site, specific importance is given for ambient monitoring with
additional parameters as mentioned in GSR 826 (E) dt. 16 th Nov. 2009.
They are described under two separate categories.
Onsite monitoring within the site.
Monitoring program in public domain.
Regular environmental monitoring for air quality, water quality,
environment noise levels and environment soil quality program is also
detailed in this chapter.
BRPL will have both physical laboratory to test the raw material and
pellet and chemical laboratory for analyzing conventional pollutants.
Presently, BRPL is out sourcing the AAQ, noise, soil, water monitoring
through MoEF accredited laboratory. However, it has been planned to
procure the following equipment for the environmental laboratory. The
equipment / instruments planned for the laboratory are shown in
Table 06 01.

Results of the survey carried out by the concerned authorities for BRPL
project will be brought out in the form of quarterly reports. Eventually
annual reports will be submitted to OSPCB for inspection and
verification of compliance with regulatory limits. Monitoring of public
domain is done as per OSPCB instruction.
06.02
CONVENTIONAL POLLUTANTS MONITORING

As stated in Chapter-4, the environmental stresses from conventional
pollutants are minimal / marginal. Often the range of impact is limited to
the plant and its immediate vicinity. The monitoring schedule is evolved
accordingly.
06.02.01
Air Quality Monitoring

The following measures are taken up for air quality monitoring domain
on a regular basis.
Chapter-6

Monitoring of micrometeorological data such as wind speed, wind

direction, Temperature, Relative Humidity is carried out
throughout the year at plant site with the help of Automatic
weather station.
Stack monitoring system for sampling and monitoring of

conventional pollutants like PM, SOX and NOX.

The work zone air quality is monitored once in a month at two stations
for PM2.5, PM10, NOx, SO2, CO & HC. The recorded pollutant levels are
then compared with norms for any corrective actions. In addition to the
above, the parameters as stipulated in the MoEF notification for steel
plant are also monitored regularly at site.
Stack monitoring to know the discharge concentration into the
atmosphere
Periodical monitoring of stacks is being done for the existing plant. In
case emissions are found to exceed the norms, the on duty personnel
will check process parameters and take appropriate corrective action. If
necessary, continuous stack monitoring will be envisaged for the
process related stacks to monitor the pollutants continuously. The AAQ
monitoring at work zone is shown in Table 06 02.

Development Corporation (IDCO) to BRPL. Hence, issues related to
Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R & R) is not directly applicable for
this existing pellet plant. However information on R & R have been
gathered and compiled in form of a report. The synopsis of the report is
given below.
Synopsis of R & R study report
As stated earlier, the pellet plant of BRPL is set-up in Jajpur district
over an area of 90 acres of land within Khurunti, Managobindapur &
Sarangpur villages of Sukinda Tehsil, P.S. Sukinda of Jajpur Dist. of
Odisha State for production of 4 MTPA Iron Ore Pellets.
The project site of the BRPL is located inside Kalinga Nagar notified
Industrial estate area, Jajpur, Odisha. The site is located 10 km NW of
Jajpur Road and is bounded by the following coordinates (as per
Survey of India toposheet no. F-45 U1, scale 1:50,000):

The original land use pattern consisted of 37.67 acre private land, 2.54
acres of Non-Forest Govt land and 49.79 acres of Govt. forest land.
This total land is part of the 13086 ac of land acquired by IDCO
between 1997-2009 and the said 90 acres of land was handed over to
BRPL on 2007 in two separate agreements for 81.75 acre and 8.25
acre of land respectively. The diversion proposal for the total forest

land within the Kalinga Nagar Industrial Complex was approved by
MoEF in two phases i.e. 3508.64 acre in the year 1993 & 2136.86 acre
in the year 1996. As per the agreement conditions, the compensation
cost comprises of cost of land, cost of rehabilitation, cost of
compensatory afforestation and in the manner stipulated by the lessor
as for the covenants on the part of the Lessee hereinafter contained,
both hereby demised unto the Lessee for the purpose of establishing
their plant in Kalinga Nagar notified Industrial estate area.
As per the provision of Rehabilitation & Resettlement Act, 2013, Govt.
acquired land with the ultimate purpose to transfer it for the use of
private companies for stated purpose. The purpose of LARR 2011
includes public-private-partnership projects, but excludes land acquired
for state or national highway projects, comes under the purview of SIA
of the displaced families for R & R implementation and monitoring.
The socio economic survey and socio-economic resources mapping
and infrastructure survey is limited to the study of affected families
(direct and extended) in the project area of M/s BRPL pellet plant
project in Kalinga Nagar notified Industrial estate area, Jajpur district.
The survey covered 15 project affected families (PAF) due to BRPL,
covering Khurunti, Managobindapur & Sarangpur. The total displaced
families are 601 from these villages due to the Kalinga Nagar notified
Industrial estate area spread over approximately 13000 acre of land.
The main objective of a socio-economic survey is to collect, assemble,
analyze, interpret and to provide the base-line socio-economic status of
the people living in the affected areas.
At present, 70% of the total population from the Khurunti, Sarangpur,
and Managobindapur villages is rehabilitated in the two distinct
rehabilitation villages, which includes all the PAFs due to BRPL.
Therefore, the true genesis of their socio-economic conditions is not
known. Further, the distinct nature of occupation and livelihood status
is still in developing process.
IDCO has developed two rehabilitation colonies at Trijanga and
Gobarghati with necessary infrastructure. Total 492 plots have been
allotted in two rehabilitation sites namely Trijanga & Gobaraghati out of
which 361 plots have been allotted at Trijanga, 131 plots have been
allotted to displaced families at Gobarghati rehabilitation colony. Out of
492 allotted plots, 15 numbers of families were displaced by BRPL
setup. The rest numbers of families were displaced because of utility
sector namely road, green belt, drain, etc and also vacant land left
acquired under Kalinga Nagar notified Industrial estate area.
Remaining 565 families have been self-relocated with assistance of
Rs.50,000. The basic infrastructure like road, water supply and power
supply have been provided at both the colonies.

Other than the IDCO responsibility, BRPL as a responsible
organization has undertaken various developmental activities including
peripheral development under its CSR schemes.
As per the study observations on the socio-economic aspects of the
project affected persons/households and socio-cultural infrastructure a
few suggestions are made which are as follows.
07.02
The findings of the present socio-economic study suggest that

most of the households are primarily depending on wage.
Similarly, a few households depend on service/private job in the
nearby places. However, the employment (both direct and
indirect) of the people in the plant has to be given utmost
importance.
Interaction with the people suggested that many of the
households aspire to get a job in the plant. Thus up-gradation of
skill for the local youth in the long run and provision of
employment to at least one person of the affected family may help
improving their economic condition.
In case of no industries of displaced families eligible for
employment otherwise, the upper age limit shall be relaxed by five
years.
BRPL will notify their employment capacity sufficiently in advance.
As far as practicable, the objective shall be to provide one
member from each displaced/other family as mentioned above
with employment in the project.
On the basis of SES, prioritization has to be made for order of
preference in order to provide training as well as alternative
source of income to the displaced/affected families and the order
of preference as per the policy.
SOCIO-ECONOMIC STUDY
Development projects are very much necessary for the overall growth
and development of the country and the region. Though development
projects bring substantial benefits to the people in the form of
employment, skill up-gradation, development of infrastructure etc., the
possibility of some adverse impact cannot be ruled out. Overall impact
of a project may be marginal or not, depend on the extent of change
caused by the project to alter the existing equilibrium of the
socio-economic system.
Generally, the socio-economic survey of the study area is carried out
as part of the EIA study. The data generated during the EIA study
carried out in the year 2014 is considered as an input for assessing the
socio-economic impacts. Wherever required data has been updated
with more recent information like census data 2011 published by

b)
c)
d)
e)
07.02.01
To assess the impact of the project on the agricultural situation.

To assess the impact of the project on the pattern of demand.
To ascertain the impact of the project on the consumption
behavior.
To explore the impact of the projects on educational status.
To analyze peoples perceptions regarding impact of the project.
Socio-economic status of the study area

The study area for this impact assessment was defined by a 10 km
radius circle around the project site as the center. Details of
demographic pattern, educational status and agricultural production
prevailing in the study area and peoples perceptions were gathered by
conducting socio-economic survey.

The most important feature within the study area is the population
density which is about 280 as compared to Jajpurs overall population
density of 630. It may be noted that the population density of the study
area is higher than that of the state i.e., 270 persons/sq.km. The
national average is 383 persons/sq.km. The details of the villages with
the population falling in the study area of 10 km are shown in Table 0702. The amenities details are shown in Table 07- 03. From the table, it
can be seen that the villages falling in the study area are endowed with
basic amenities. One of the reasons could be existence of various
industries like TATA, Neelachal, Mesco, Jindal, etc.

Agricultural situation
Agriculture is observed to be a significant source of income for the
people in the study area. Agriculture is mostly dependent on agroclimatic conditions prevalent in the area.
With rising costs of cultivation, the populations which were solely based
on agriculture are deriving some part of their income from alternate
sources like service, wage labor, self-employment, small business etc.
Agricultural activities mainly depend on seasonal rainfall. The cropping
pattern followed is more or less mixed cropping. Based on the
secondary data, collected from the agriculture department and field
survey it is evident that the major crop grown in this area is paddy. The
block wise area of crop w.r.t Kharif paddy, different fruit crops & Rabi

contributing any damage to the existing agricultural scenario of the
area instead, it is helping to promote agriculture by higher investment
out of the income generated from the supplementary sources (i.e., nonagricultural sources) due to operation of the project. Hence, the impact
of the project on agriculture situation of the study area is positive.
3.
Field Survey
In order to facilitate the socio-economic impact assessment of the
project, a field survey had been carried out. The study area for this
survey was 10 km radius from the project site. The aim of the survey
was to seek information on the agricultural situation, the pattern of
demand, consumption behavior and educational status.
Sampling design
The sampling frame, consisting of the list of the villages of the study
area, was prepared on the basis of topographical sheet and in
consultation with the officials of the project. Keeping in view, the
characteristics of the population under study and the possible impact of
the project, the study area was divided into two strata. The division of
divided enclosed the area within the circle of 5 km and 10 km radius
with project site as center. The division into stratum was made with the
assumption that the characteristics of the variables under study may be
homogenous. Generally, there are following four methods of allocating
samples within each of the stratum.
Equal allocation
Proportional allocation
Optimum allocation &
Neyman allocation
The size of the stratum varies from each other. It was decided to apply
equal allocation of sample to each of the stratum with the assumption
that the stratum nearer to the site of the project may have more impact
than the stratum located at longer distance. To accommodate this
concept, equal method of allocation of samples from each stratum was
thought prudent for the present study.
A sample of 313 respondents (65 households) was drawn for impact
assessment, which, in fact, covered 17 villages.

Composition of the questionnaire

Households/respondents were interviewed with the structured
questionnaire specifically designed keeping in view the objectives of
the study.
The questionnaire covered the following aspects:
Composition and size of family

Educational status
Homestead
Information on agricultural situation (holding size, land use,
cropping pattern, productivity, net return etc.)
Employment status
Income (income from various sources)
Information on family budget
Consumption and saving
Family asset base
Peoples willingness to use the proposed road
Respondents' perception about the project
A survey of the land holdings, cropping pattern, crop productivity and

the return on agriculture were covered in the study area.
The major expenses for cultivation are towards, fertilizers, seeds,
insecticides/pesticides etc. To meet these expenditures, a large part of
the familys income from secondary sources e.g. wage labor, selfemployment, small business, service etc. is also invested.
5.
Pattern of demand
The survey reveals that the respondents spend major portion of their
disposable income on food items. However, people are quite exposed
to consumer society and there has been a growing tendency among
them for higher and higher expenditure allocation on non-consumable
items than before.
With the implementation of the project and further development of the
locality new type of demand pattern has emerged, which is planning
more importance on modern consumer goods and quality products.
Hence, the impact of the project on the pattern of demand can be
reasonably predicted as a shift from food to non-food items i.e., a
consumer behavior which may closely follow the Engel law.
The civic amenities like water supply, electrification and road network
are good in the study area.
Chapter-7

As informed by the respondents, their interest towards education has
been increasing with the hope of getting jobs especially in the nonagricultural areas which are coming up in this region. Furthermore
implementation of this project has increased educational aspirations by
bringing opportunities of some direct and indirect employment for the
local people. People are more keen for pursuing technical education
like Polytechnic, IT, Management etc. as technical/professional
qualification based employment opportunities are coming up, in
general. The general awareness towards the importance of education
has increased further as a result of the existing industries and hence, it
can be said that the project has a strong positive impact on the level of
education of the people within the study area.

Conclusion
Economy within the study area is dominated by industries and

agriculture. However, the plant did not cause any damage to the
existing rural agrarian economy of the study area. Instead, it
helped agriculture by way of providing supplementary income
which is attracting increased investment in agriculture and
consequently, agricultural production.
Employment opportunities The project brought about 600 nos.

of employment. In addition, about 500 nos. of job opportunities
are created indirectly due to this project.
Infrastructure facilities Improvement in the existing infrastructure

of neighboring schools/colleges, development of basic
infrastructure such as hospitals and roads, involvement of
ancillary industries for machining/fabrication jobs etc., are
witnessed due to plant operation.
Peoples perception regarding the project, in general, is favorable,

especifically, due to the advantages of employment opportunities,
business development and improvement in standard of living of
the society etc.
RISK ASSESSMENT
The objective of risk assessment is to analyze and ensure a safer &
healthier working environment. As it is an integral part of a good
occupational health and safety management plan. Risk assessment
includes the following.
i)
ii)
iii)
Hazard Analysis.
Evaluation of risk associated with that hazard.
Determination of appropriate ways to eliminate or mitigate the
hazard.
Risk analysis deals with the identification and quantification of risks,

the plant equipment and personnel are exposed to, due to accidents
resulting from the hazards occurring in the plant. On the other hand,
hazard analysis involves the identification and quantification of the
various hazards (unsafe conditions) that may exist in the plant.
Chapter-7
Additional Studies
201

Jajpur, Odisha
Hazard and risk analysis involves very extensive studies and requires
very detailed design and engineering information. The various hazard
analysis techniques that may be applied are, hazard and operability
studies (HAZOP), fault tree analysis, event tree analysis and failure
mode analysis.
Risk analysis involves also the identification and assessment of risks to
neighboring public as a result of hazards. This requires a thorough
knowledge of failure probability, formulation of credible accident
scenario etc. As in practice, the risk analysis is confined to Maximum
Credible Accident (MCA) scenarios.
The risk assessment study covers the following:
07.03.01.
Identification of potential areas.

Identification of failure cases.
Visualization of the resulting scenarios.
Assessment of overall damage potential of the identified
hazardous events and the impact zones from the accidental
scenarios.
Specific recommendation on the minimization of the worst
accident possibilities.
Preparation of broad Risk/Disaster Management Plan.
Hazard Identification
The technique employed here for the hazard identification is Maximum
Credible Accident (MCA) analysis. MCA is an accident with maximum
probability to occur. MCA analysis does not include quantification of
probability of occurrence of an accident. In practice, the selection of
accident scenarios for MCA analysis is carried out on the basis of
engineering judgment and expertise in the field of accident analysis.
Process information study and relevant data would help in the
identification of hazard in the plant. Inventory analysis and following
Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemicals (MSIHC)
Rules-1989 are also the methods in hazard identification. It is reiterated
here that the inventory of hazardous inflammable chemicals will be
above the threshold limit and does warrant on-site emergency disaster
management plan.
Except FO, no other hazardous chemicals are handled in the process
and hence, release of the same due to leakage from pipes, process
equipment, damage of cylinders, valves etc., are not anticipated.
07.03.02.
MCA Scenarios
A MCA has been characterized as accident with maximum damage
potential, which is still believed to be probable. As an initial step in this
Chapter-7

study, a selection has been made from the processing plants and
storage units which are believed to represent the high level of risk for
the surrounding in terms of damage distance.

Methodology
The following steps are employed for visualization of MCA scenario:

Natural hazard like earthquake, floods.
Short listing of MCA Scenarios

Natural hazards that can happen in Jajpur region are earthquake and
floods only. In case of earthquake, the maximum damage, it can cause
is cracks or partial peeling of plaster in buildings as Jajpur falls under
Zone-III which is not prone to earthquake. However the buildings are
designed and constructed as per standard guidelines to meet seismic
consideration.
Another natural hazard is flooding which cannot occur in the site by
virtue of higher elevation and its surface drainage pattern.
Based on the storage quantities and properties of the chemicals,
following hazards have been identified for MCA analysis.

General fire hazards
HAZARD ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION

Preliminary Hazards Analysis (PHA) is based on the philosophy
Prevention is better than cure. This technique, if applied early in the
project life cycle, will help eliminate hazards and thus avoid costly
design modifications later.
A preliminary hazard analysis has been carried out to identify the major
hazards associated with storage areas and the processes of the plant.
This is followed by a consequence analysis to quantify these hazards.
Finally, the vulnerable zones are plotted for which risk reducing
measures are deduced and implemented.

Maximum Credible Accident Analysis

Hazardous substances may get released as a result of failures or
catastrophes, which may possibly damage the surrounding area. The
results of consequence analysis are useful for understanding the
situation and emergency planning.
There is one scenario considered for MCA analysis:
2.
Pool fire due to leakage of Furnace oil/LDO tank
Consequence analysis
As stated in Chapter 2, the process involves consumption of
inflammable chemicals like furnace oil and LDO which are stored in the
tank with dyke. Elaborate arrangements are provided to tackle any
accidents, leakage etc. within the storage area. In view of this
conundrum, a detailed risk analysis is carried out, to find the risk on
pool fire.
3.
Results and discussions

Furnace Oil/LDO are stored in tanks. As per OISD norms these
storage tanks are provided with dykes.
There are 2 furnace oil tank of each 2000 kl storage facility and one
LDO tank with 1000 kl storage facility. The storage tanks are installed
in the bunds and the arrangement of storage tanks is shown in the
layout. The oil tank layout has been shown in Fig. 07- 01.

In this study the total heat radiation intensity resulting from the
accidental pool fires to the nearest buildings is estimated. In this case
the nearest building is hearth layer separation building which is about
30m from the oil storage facility.
Pool fire for total catastrophic failure is considered for worst case
scenario i.e., burning of one tank of furnace oil with the capacity of
2000 m3. The result of heat radiation distance calculated using
Heskestad formula method for furnace oil pool fire is shown in

be seen that risk contour for 37.5 kW/m2 and 12.5 kW/m2 heat
radiation intensity falls well within the plant area. However, the heat
radiation of 4 kW/m2 is expected to beyond the boundary line
marginally. It is expected that in case of fire, the heat will not be felt by
the public due to plantation and compound wall existing in between the
plant area and local habitation.

Avoid using telephones during emergency
OTHER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

General instructions
Resort to water fogging/curtain in the downwind area closer to the

spillage to prevent/reduce the chances of gas cloud formation and
thereby to contain the release. The firemen should always fight
from the upwind side to avoid hazardous gases. Low pressure
wide angle water spray to be given as back up protection to
operating personnel involved in tackling the emergency. Do not
apply water directly on leaks as it may increase the leak.
Line up standby crew to relieve the combating crew.
Pool up additional safety gears like breathing air cylinders and
protection suits.
Rescue trapped personnel if any, and arrange for first aid/medical
treatment.
Avoid or remove all ignition sources. Take care that oxidizing
material or any other incompatible material does not come into
contact with leak or spill.
Fire related instructions

Cordon-off and evacuate the area. Switch off all artificial supply and
exhaust ventilation of the affected building. For other buildings, if the
situation warrants switch off all artificial supply and exhaust ventilation.
Chapter-7
Fire alarm shall be manually activated by breaking the glass cover

of manual call-points using a hammer or by removing the front
cap of MCPs installed in respective buildings.
Identify the nature of fire (Electrical, oil, metal etc.) and cut off the
source of fire.
Ensure that power supply is isolated.
Select the appropriate firefighting technique/extinguisher.
Put-off fire from a safe distance. Approach fire from upwind to
avoid hazardous gases and toxic decomposition products. When
escaping gas is burning, the best procedure is to stop the flow of
gas before attempting to extinguish the fire.
Prevent the spread of fire by cooling the adjacent areas and
critical equipment. Isolate materials not yet involved in the fire and
protect personnel.
Move gas cylinders if any, from fire area if this can be done
without risk. Be cautious on pressure vessels, chemical

handled/stored, cables etc. Explosive decomposition may occur

under fire conditions. Use extreme caution since heat may rupture
containers/vessels, which may possibly fly. Otherwise, fireexposed containers, tanks or pipelines should be cooled by
application of hose streams and this should begin as soon as
possible (within the first several minutes) and should concentrate
on any dry portions of the container.
Explosion or collapse of vessels may release toxic/inflammable
gases. In such cases follow standard guidelines. Suitable PPEs
have to be used accordingly. Release of inert gas in confined
space has to be kept in mind while choosing the appropriate PPE.
Protect the nearby buildings, structures, areas, equipment, and
materials.
Ascertain and rescue the trapped personnel and arrange medical
aid to affected victims. Firemen are to be fully protected with fire
suits while attempting rescue of personnel.
The contaminated fire fighting water shall be prevented from
entering storm drain. If possible, it may be contained with the help
of bunds.
Protect the electrical installations from water while fire fighting.
For a massive fire in a large area, use unmanned hose holder or
monitor nozzles; if this is not possible, withdraw from fire area and
allow fire to burn. Stay away from ends of tanks, but be aware
that flying material from ruptured tanks may travel in any direction.

CONCLUSION
The consequence analysis for all the low probability events (accidents)
carried out for man induced events show that access to the plant or its
operation would not be jeopardized.
If pool fire occurs, it would not damage the other essential plant
equipment such as transformers, water storage tanks etc., which are
located quiet far away from the vicinity of specified heat intensity
contours.
The maximum distance of head radiation of 4 kW/m2 is expected at a
distance of 216m from the dyke. The disaster mainly limited to plant

Occupational and safety
As described earlier, pool fire hazard is expected during fire accident.
The maximum TLV as per ACIGH is 5 mg/m3 of oil mist. The oil level
mist is not recorded so far in the plant. In case of fire also, the
permissible level of 5 mg/m3 of the oil mist in the air will not be
reached. Further, the plant is handling FO by burning for thermal
treatment to pellet. In this process, oil mist generation is not expected.
Hence, it is expected the health of the workers will not be affected due
to oil mist.
Evaluation health status of worker
During September 2014, a medical examination was conducted by
M/s. Utkal Polyclinic for BRPL pellet plant workers. A team consisting
of various qualified Doctors and lab technicians from about 12
disciplines were involved in the survey. The methodology followed to
conduct medical survey is described in the report which is enclosed as
Annexure 8 to EIA/EMP.
In future, similar type of Medical examinations are planned to be
conducted annually. The annual report will be submitted to MoEF, RO
office.
Plan and fund allocation for Occupational Health and safety
It has been planned to spend about 50 lakhs per Annum to ensure
Occupational and health status of all (Contract / Casual) workers.
It has been planned through safety officer that every employee and
casual labour will be undergoing training of one week about health and
safety before they are inducted in the job. The training will be
conducted as per Occupational Health and Safety norms.

GENERAL
As India is progressing towards higher level of growth, greater & more
concentrated efforts are contributed in the development of
infrastructural and manufacturing sectors, the Iron and Steel industry is
poised for a rapid growth in the years to come. Steel demand in the
country is increasing at an average rate of 10% and is likely to remain
in 10-12% range at least for the next decade. In order to meet the
steady growing steel demand in the country, domestic steel producing
capacity is required to be higher than 110 million tonnes per annum
within next three years and, 150 MTPA by the year 2016-17. The
increase in domestic demand will be largely driven by its investment in
infrastructure, and its strategy of inclusive growth which is enabling the
opening up of relatively less explored rural markets. However, the per
capita consumption in India continues to remain way below the per
capita global average.
Iron ore pellets is a kind of agglomerated fines which has better
tumbler index as compared to that of parent ore and can be used as a
substitute of lump ore in blast furnaces in countries where lump ore is
not available. In India, the necessity of pelletisation has grown to utilize
low grade hematite iron ore fines because of several reasons and
advantages.
India has adequate reserves of iron ore and there is an overwhelming
need to cater to the iron ore demands of all steel plants in the country.
Unfortunately, the excessive fines generated from hematite iron ore
mining mostly considered as waste, are either being sold at meager
price and/or exported. But, there does exist the 'Pelletisation'
technology a proven, established method to convert the iron ore fines
into 'pellets' and use them in sponge iron making and also for steel
production through blast furnace route. Not only this will result in
gainful utilization of the iron ore fines but also yield a cost effective
production route for domestic steel and sponge iron producers, for
whom, high price of iron ore is a major issue. Moreover, there is also a
large export market for pellets to China, Korea and Japan.
The project benefit i.e., use of pellets in steel and sponge iron
production results in a number of specific advantages. They are as
enumerated below:
Chapter-8
Utilization of iron ore fines through beneficiation which was

considered as waste at mine pits.
Project Benefits
223

Jajpur, Odisha
Plant is considered as a value addition.

Better production of BF and metallization due to use of pellet as a
feed to BF
Specific consumption of coal will come down by 10% due to
pellets used in the blast furnace
As there is no accretion and no fused lump formation in BF, the
refractory repairing cost will be reduced by 50%
Rotary kiln (in DRI) can produce 25% more without any changes
in design due to use of pellet
Metallization is better compared to lump ore. There are hardly 5%
of fines in the finished product as against 35 to 40% when
produced with lump ore.
Maintenance and power cost will come down by about 50%, as
there is reduction in crushing and screening of iron ore lumps.
There are no losses during handling, as pellets will not break
during transport or handling
Better environment to work due to reduction in dust.
The product can be supplied to steel plants located within the
Kalinga Nagar notified industrial estate area.
The plant contributes considerable number of employment
Establishing pellet plant is partially replacing the raw material

requirement of blast furnace and the benefit is immeasurable since, the
plant is using mine waste as raw material. The plant uplifts the
economy by supporting steel industries. Moreover, the pellet plant is
environmentally benign. Other tangible benefits are employment
generated by the project and other small scale industries developed
due to the project. The CSR activities are likely to improve the society
around the plant.
08.01.01
CSR Activities
BRPL has a well lay down community development program under
CSR activities. About Rs. 68.5 lakhs spent towards development of the
region. The expenditures incurred from financial year 2008 to till date
are enumerated in Table 08-01.
Generally the amounts are spent towards development of roads,
schools, water tanks, etc. The amount spent under CSR activities are
in addition to the amount paid by BRPL for R & R activities being
carried out by Odisha State Government.

GENERAL
BRPL is presently operating a pellet plant with the name plate capacity
of 4 MTPA. The plant is commissioned to meet the pellet demand of
the steel industries and significantly contributes to economic growth of
the nation as well as to the region as it generates valuable raw material
from iron ore fines and creating employment.
This chapter provides the information regarding the capital cost of the
project and expenditure for the implementation of pollution control
measures to safe guard the environment.
The cost envisaged for pollution control and monitoring measures are
included in the capital cost. In the analysis of capital cost, recurring cost
is included to know the annual expenditure. Other features which form
an integral part of the plant design like stacks, storm water drains are
not included in the analysis. But, constructions of STP, WTP and other
environmental measures like ESP, bag filters, underwater collection
pits at filtration area and water treatment area, are included in the
analysis. Cost towards AAQ continuous monitoring facilities
implemented at site are also considered.
Expenditure towards environmental monitoring and EMP is detailed in
Table 09 01.
09.02
BUDGET
The estimated capital cost of the plant is about Rs 644 Crore. This
covers the cost of filtration, pelletization, material handling systems and
storage facilities. A good fraction of this expenditure is spent towards
pollution control measures. Table 09 - 01 gives break-up of the cost for
various control measures.
Chapter-9
In addition to those indicated in Table 09 - 01, there are a number

of other features, which forms an integral part of the plant design
and contribute to either save energy or to decrease the energy
consumption.
Likewise, the costs of fire protection measures are not

considered, although there may be secondary environmental
consequences due to fires or security lapses.

Chapter-10
10.01
GENERAL
The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the existing 4 MTPA
pellet plant at Kalinga Nagar notified industrial estate area is based on
the experiences gained from other plants of similar nature.
Various measures have been outlined in Chapter-4 for mitigating the
undesirable impacts, if any, on the environment due to operation of the
pellet plant. These measures were contemplated during the design
stage of the plant. The overall responsibility of environmental
monitoring lies with the project authority. Apart from the implementing
machinery, there are appropriate administrative measures, such as
EMC, to regularly monitor the adopted measures in order to prevent
any lapses.
As already pointed out in Chapter-7, the steps to be taken towards
training and safety etc., is inseparable from those warranted by the
requirements of environmental protection. Hence, safety also included
in this management chapter.
10.02
ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT

As already stated in Chapter-4, the environmental stresses from
conventional pollutants are negligible. Still, the environmental
monitoring for conventional aspects is carried out as per the schedule
and monitoring program detailed in Chapter-6. Brief description of
monitoring and management plan for stack emissions from process
and DG sets, AAQ monitoring within plant premises and outside,
groundwater monitoring, STP, RWH and are discussed below.
Monitoring and management plan for process stack
The release of conventional gaseous pollutants is from process stacks
and from DG stacks. The major contribution of the emission is from the
process stack due to FO combustion for induration process. Stack
monitoring is being carried out regularly for process and DG stacks as
per the statutory requirements.
The exhaust from the above sources is being monitored periodically for
PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOX, CO, HC (methane and Non methane) and total
volume of the gas. In case of any abnormalities in the above
parameters, suitable corrective actions are taken immediately.
Chapter-10

229

Jajpur, Odisha
Some of the corrective actions are listed below:
Regular maintenance of ESP to control emission of particulate

matter
Maintenance of scrubbers at the both ends of furnace & screening

area in order to remove the fugitive dust emission into the
atmosphere
Maintenance of bag filters at mixing building and all raw material

handling transfer points
Maintenance of DG sets done regularly as per the standard

manual.
Variation in the CO or oxygen concentration is the key parameter

which indicates the combustion efficiency. Accordingly corrective
actions taken for process as well as DG sets.
Variation in particulate matter indicates improper burning of fuel

which attended immediately for DG sets
Ambient noise level in the DG set area monitored periodically. In

case of any increase in noise level, the acoustic cover provided
for the DG room checked for leak proof.
Monitoring and management plan for air quality within plant premises
Monitoring is being carried as per SPCB requirement within the plant
premises for 12 Air Quality parameters along with PM10, PM2.5, SO2,
NOX, CO and HC. In case of any deviation from the recorded normal
values of the above pollutants, investigation carried out to identify and
rectify the root cause for higher concentration. Already, continuous
online AAQ monitoring is being carried out inside the plant premises
and the results are displayed on LED board at the main entrance as
per SPCB directives and the same will be continued with better
facilities.
Monitoring and management plan for Groundwater
The groundwater is monitored from upstream and downstream gradient
of the project site. In case of change in permissible concentration of
any parameter, the sources for contamination of groundwater identified
and corrective measures were taken. A groundwater network has
already been established around the raw material handling and the
product area. The parameters like TDS, pH and suspended solids are
analyzed continuously in addition to heavy metals to find out the
abnormalities.
Monitoring and management plan for Surface water
The surface water is being received from the beneficiation plant located
at Barbil, along with iron ore slurry. The slurry water as received is
being filtered and the filtrate is being treated at thickener. The clarified
Chapter-10

230

Jajpur, Odisha
water is stored at treated water storage reservoir within the plant. From
the reservoir the water is mainly used for scrubbing, slurry preparation
at ESP and various other process units.
Monitoring and management plan for STP
Construction of 50 KLD STP inside the pellet plant premises is in
progress, which is likely to be completed within 2 to 3 months.
Domestic wastewater generated from the various units of the pellet
plant will be collected and treated in a STP based on MBBR
technology. The plant is in operation round the clock and breakdowns,
if any, are attended immediately.
The main parameters like pH, conductivity, total suspended solids,
BOD COD and Oil & Grease will be tested for the treated water. In
case of any deviation in the above parameters, corrective actions like
change of media, air bubbling timing and retention time in the reactor
are checked and adjusted accordingly.
Monitoring and management plan for RWH and storm water drainage
As stated in Chapter-4, rainwater harvesting network is envisaged.
BRPL is already practicing rainwater recharging system in the
administrative building. Similarly, the rainwater harvesting for other
areas like electrical control room, induration building, canteen, ware
house will also be connected to rainwater harvesting network. The
harvested water will be supplemented with raw water requirement of
the plant. In order to ensure proper functionality, the system is
inspected regularly for any clogging, breakage and leakage in the
pipeline to collection tank.
Storm water drains are being inspected periodically to keep it free from
debris, silt, muck, leaves etc. to avoid blockage.
As a general practice, wastage of water due to leakage, damaged taps
etc. are avoided by periodic inspection and maintenance.
10.03
ADMINISTRATIVE MONITORING BY EMC

The operation and maintenance of pollution control systems is
exclusively assigned to the personnel for effective functioning of all
pollution control systems. There are several conventional activities like
plantation, gardening, conservation of water resources etc. These
aspects are taken care by Environmental Management Cell (EMC)
involving Civil and Administrative staff.
Chapter-10

231

Jajpur, Odisha
Depending on the need, external experts may be invited before
implementation of suitable schemes.
With respect to the conventional activities cited above, the EMC look
after the following measures:
Plantation
The detailed plantation program is already elaborated in Chapter-4.
Since it is an operating plant, implementation of plantation program is
already undertaken by the project authorities. In order to increase the
plantation area and survival of the species the following monitoring and
management plan are implemented.
Annual plan for saplings to be planted is ensured. Type of trees to

be planted is decided in consultation with local forest
officer/botanist. The fulfillment of the plan is being monitored by
the EMC.
A plan for post plantation care is reviewed. The survival rate of

planted saplings is monitored and corrective actions like
manuring, application of pesticides are taken in case of any
decrease in survival rate.
Regular watering, removal of weeds of the plants are ensured for

a minimum period of 3 years.
Environment Management Cell

A separate Environment Management Cell (EMC) with qualified staff
already exists. However, the EMC is augmented for BRPL as depicted
in Fig. 10 01. This cell ensures the proper implementation of
stipulated environmental safeguards. Among its other duties, this cell
looks after the following:
Chapter-10
Air pollution monitoring for the conventional pollutants around the

Chapter-11
Summary & Conclusion
11.01
SUMMARY
Executive summary of the entire EIA/EMP report is being enclosed as
prologue to this report. However, in this chapter the brief summary and
conclusion of the study is being highlighted.
11.02
CONCLUSION
State-of-the-art Travelling grate technology for pellet making has been
envisaged in the plant design, so as to achieve minimal air emissions,
zero discharge of liquid effluents and less noise levels. Maximum reuse and re-utilisation of solid waste, wastewater have also been
adopted.
The report writing and prediction of pollutants using ISCST model are
under the scope of MECON and the baseline data generation was
carried out during post monsoon season i.e., September to December
2014 by M/s. Visiontek Consultancy Services Pvt. Ltd., Bhubaneswar
which is a MoEF approved Environmental laboratory. Site specific and
practically suitable mitigation measures are recommended to mitigate
the impacts.
The iron ore pellet plant of BRPL is in operation from 2013 at Kalinga
Nagar notified industrial estate area, Jajpur, Odisha after obtaining
Consent to Operate from State Pollution Control Board, Odisha.
However, this report is prepared to obtain environmental clearance
from MoEF as directed by National Green Tribunal / MoEF / SPCB.
11.03
SUITABILITY OF SITE
To set-up a pellet plant, three different sites were considered. First at
BRPLs own iron ore beneficiation plant at Barbil. The second site is
near to Paradip port and third is at Kalinga Nagar notified industrial
estate area.
Out of the above three different sites, Kalinga Nagar notified industrial
estate area was considered due to the following reasons.
i)
ii)
iii)
Chapter-11
The area is a steel manufacturing hub of eastern India.

The availability of other raw materials like coke breeze, lime
stones can be met easily from nearby steel plants.
The land admeasuring about 90 acres was made readily

238

Jajpur, Odisha
available.
In view of this, BRPL management decided to install the 4.0 MTPA

pellet plant at Kalinga Nagar notified industrial estate area.
11.04
CONVENTIONAL POLLUTANTS AND ITS MONITORING

The environmental stresses from conventional pollutants as per the
baseline data are marginal from the pellet plant, often the range of
impact is limited to the plant and its immediate vicinity. Ambient air
quality monitoring is carried out for 12 parameters as mentioned in
NAAQS along with conventional pollutants such as PM10 and PM 2.5,
SO2, NOX, HC and CO as per ToR requirements. All the recorded
values are well within the AAQ norms. The other parameters like noise
level, soil analysis, flora & fauna, traffic studies were also carried out
and no abnormalities were observed.
Prediction
Using the meteorological data air pollutant parameters like PM, SO2,
NOX were predicted. The emissions from pellet plant were very minimal
and predicted values are well within the norms. The predicted
maximum concentrations are as follows:

back in the process as raw material. Bag filters are installed in material
handling areas.
11.05
PLANTATION PROGRAMME
About 29.7 acres of land is earmarked and shall be covered under
green belt development. The lush green belt helps in reducing the
conventional pollutants in the atmosphere and further attenuates the
noise and enhances the aesthetics and beauty of the site.
About 700 numbers (21 species) of saplings are planted per acre in the
green belt and within the project site under the plantation program of
the site to increase the existing greenbelt.
All plantations are of mixed plantations of native species. And species
are selected in consultation with Forest Department for plantation of
saplings as well as its management.
11.06
WATER CONSERVATION
The estimated total water requirement for the project is 243-280 m3/hr.
Zero water discharge concept is envisaged for the plant. The plant
water requirement is met from iron ore slurry received from its
Beneficiation plant located at Barbil. A water treatment plant is existing
to treat the slurry water and treated water used in the plant. In view of
water conservation, Rain Water Harvesting is under implementation. It
is expected that the rainwater recharging facilities likely to be
implemented will enhance the groundwater table.
11.07
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

The policy of BRPL, towards social welfare and community
development aims for strengthening the relation between the local
people and the management. BRPL establishment at Jaipur is involved
in social welfare activities with the prime objective of extending the
benefits of the project to the people in the near vicinity. The welfare
measures are extended to villages within 10 km distance from the plant
site. BRPL spent about Rs.68.5 lakh so far towards welfare measures.
BRPLs management also joins and strengthens the ongoing social
welfare activities by contributing in terms of financial resource and
manpower to meet CSR norms.

NON-CONVENTIONAL ENERGY
.
To initiate non-conventional energy utilization solar energy based lights
are being planned to be installed to reduce the power consumption to

some extent. Substantial numbers of upcoming street lights will be
based on solar energy.
11.09
RISK ASSESSMENT
The risk assessment has been carried out to identify and assess the
risks where in neighboring population likely to be exposed as a result of
pool fire occurs due to rupture of FO tanks under worst conditions. The
other fuels in the plant like HSD and LDO are falling within the
predicted FO range.
Pool fire accidental scenario is considered for FO. It is evident that in
case pool fires the heat radiation of 4 kW/m2 will be occurring at a
distance of 216m in stability class F. The hydrocarbon storage area is
isolated away from the main plant and no important structures like
electrical switch yard/transformer yards are located nearby.
11.10
SAFETY ASPECTS
Adequate supervision of the activities of the contractors throughout
their work is being carried out by the plant authorities to ensure safety
during operation phase.
During the operational phase, all safety precautions like use of proper
plant clothing and footwear in process areas are adopted. Personal
protective equipment is to be compulsorily used while working in plant.
Protective gear like breathing masks/respirators is available. Breathing
air cylinders are kept ready in the plant, in case of emergency.
Emergency ambulance is available at plant site 24 hours.
The fire protection measures are taken in the design of plants with
special attention to this aspect. The fire protection program of BRPL is
designed with a defence-in-depth approach and consists of measures
for prevention of initiation of fires, quick and reliable detection, manual
suppression, and mitigation of consequences of any eventual fire.
11.11
REMARKS
From the preceding chapters discussed, it can be concluded that the
pellet plant of BRPL is benign with the environment. On the other hand,
the project is considered as a value addition project since; the product
of the plant is generated out of mines waste and helps the country to
prolong the dependency of iron ore.
The project is viable technically, environmentally empathetic and highly
beneficial to the nation

Permeability (cm/sec)
To set-up a pellet plant, three different

sites were considered. First at BRPLs
own iron ore beneficiation plant at Barbil
which is located at the foot hill of mines.
The second site was identified near to
Paradip port and third is at Kalinga
Nagar notified industrial estate area.
Out of the above three different sites,
Kalinga Nagar notified industrial estate
area is considered due to the following
reasons.
1. Kalinga Nagar notified industrial

estate area is a steel manufacturing
hub of eastern India.
2. The availability of other raw material
like coke breeze can be met easily
from nearby steel plants.
3. The land was made readily available
by IDCO and hence, no direct R & R
issues for BRPL.
4. The product can be easily supplied
to the nearby steel plants and export
through Paradip port facilities
5. Availability of power & water sources
at convenient distance
6. Suitable seismic zone
7. The proposed site is not falling within
the vicinity of any monument or in an
8. No declared biodiversity parks /
sanctuaries are there in the
Alternate sites considered
Since, the above features are favorably

disposed for the project and also the land
was readily made available to BRPL for 4
MTPA iron ore pellet plant, the BRPL
management decided to install the plant
at Kalinga Nagar notified industrial estate
area.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS DESCRIPTION AND TECHNOLOGY
Pelletization is the process of turning very ne-grained (-45) iron ore (from low grade iron
ore) into balls of a certain diameter, a suitable raw material for blast furnace charging and
for direct reduction. The concentrated iron ore from the beneficiation plant is converted
into slurry and it is transported to pellet plant area through pipeline. At pellet plant the
slurry is converted into iron ore cakes through filtering process. The pelletisation process
involves the following three steps.
Raw material preparation
Formation of pellets
Pellet hardening
The filter cake (iron ore) with about 10% moisture of hematite content is mixed with coke
breeze, limestone/lime and dolomite dust (15%). Approximately 0.5% of bentonite is
added to the above mixture as a binding agent. The mixture is then formed into uniform
sized "green pellets on rotary discs. These green pellets are screened to get the desired
size and then dried and heat hardened (indurated) at a temperature of 1300 C. This
usually takes place on a travelling grate. The pellets with desired/stipulated physical and
metallurgical properties are stocked and transported to consumers.
PELLET PLANT
The plant is designed to receive the iron ore concentrate as slurry from its beneficiaiton
plant at Barbil, which is located at about 218 km from the plant site.
Iron ore slurry (70% by weight) is transported through slurry pipeline from its beneficiation
plant, is received in the slurry distributors at pelletisation plant.
From these distributors, slurry is being diverted to the slurry tanks for onward pumping to
pressure filters. The pressure filters separates iron ore as cake termed as filter cake with
about 10% moisture from the slurry and the filtrate is sent to the thickener. The filter cake
is then conveyed to mixer, where additives like limestone/dolomite, bentonite and coke
breeze are added and mixed thoroughly.
Limestone and coke breeze are also administered and ground together in ball mills and
bentonite is ground in vertical roller mill. Ground bentonite is pneumatically transported
directly from the mill system to the day bin in mixing area. Also ground mix of limestone
and coke breeze is pneumatically transported to storage bins located at mixing area.
The mixed material is conveyed to the bins above individual balling discs. The mixed
materials are fed into balling discs to get uniform sized balls of 9-16 mm. These green
balls / pellets are screened for size in a double deck roller screen. Oversized and
undersized materials are returned to mixed material bins.
The desired / stipulated sized green balls are fed into the travelling grate of the indurating
machine where these green balls are heat hardened. The green pellets are dried in the
updraught and downdraught drying zones of indurating machine. The dried pellets are
preheated to a progressively higher temperature to initiate magnetite oxidation and
sulphur burning due to coke breeze present in the mixture.
The pellets are then fired at approx. 1300C to provide the recrystallization and slag
bonding which imparts adequate strength to the pellets. An unfired short section
designated as 'after firing' allows the heat front to completely penetrate into the bottom of
the bed thereby, eliminating sudden quenching of pellets and consequent deterioration of
properties.
Cooling of indurated pellets is accomplished by updraughting ambient air through the
pellets bed supplied by a cooling air fan. The cooled pellets leave the indurating machine
at a temperature of 100C or less. The cooled pellets are stored in the stockpile as
finished product. The process flow diagram of pellet plant is shown in figure. The mass
balance for raw material & pellet and raw material requirement details are given in table
below.
Salient features of pellet plant
Production capacity of 4 MTPA with 300 days of operation per year.
Travelling Grate technology is adopted for optimum pellet production.
Basic and detailed design engineering for entire plant have been carried out by
MECON for better process efficiency and minimum to environment pollution.
Iron ore concentrate slurry from beneficiation plant located at Barbil area.
Use of high intensity mixers of EIRICH makes, Germany for better mixing.
Two process ESPs and Dedusting bag filters for process dedusting to limit the
emission level less than 50 mg/Nm3.
All process wastes generated are absorbed within the pellet plant. Dust from Dust
extraction / de-dusting units are reused in the process as slurry.
Three scrubbers are in operation to process the dust generated during induration.
Scrubber water is recycled to the process in the form of slurry.
The induration process uses FO as fuel.

Impact of conventional pollutant
(i)
Air environment
The existing plant has five (5) numbers of stacks. These include three
numbers stacks related to process and two numbers of material handling
stacks. The details of the stacks and their locations are shown in Table
below. The generation of conventional pollutants and their extent of
dispersion are detailed in this section.
The prediction of Ground Level Concentrations (GLC) of PM10, NOX and SO2 has
been carried out using ISCST-3 air quality simulation model released by USEPA.
This model also incorporates the complex screening model dispersion algorithms for
receptors in complex terrain i.e., where the receptor elevation is above the release
height of the source. When, one assumes complex terrain, the model assumes a
normal distribution in the vertical and a uniform distribution across a 22.5 degree
sector. It will select the higher of the simple and complex terrain values on a
hour-by-hour, source-by-source and receptor-by-receptor basis. The model accepts
hourly meteorological data including mixing height, stabilities and terrain features to
define the conditions for plume rise for each source and receptor combination for
each hour of input meteorological data sequentially and calculates short term
averages up to 24 hours.
The emission concentrations of PM, SO2 & NOx for different units are
computed based on following:
a)
Emissions for Indurating furnace discharge through ESP and wet

scrubber and for Hearth Layer Separation Building through wet
scrubber as obtained from actual stack monitoring of the units.
b)
Particulate matter (PM) emission for unpaved road is calculated

c)
Particulate matter (PM) emission for metalled road is calculated

The GLC's are computed based on the stack emission data is indicated in the

As a first step, actual monitored site meteorological data for Post-monsoon season
has been considered. The meteorological data was generated near plant site for
three months period on hourly basis for the season. Stabilities have been computed
with the monitored data by Turner's method and mixing heights have been taken
from site specific SODAR studies conducted at site during monitoring period.
GLCs were computed considering all monitored days of meteorological data for the
post monsoon season. The maximum GLC's for each grid point were predicted with
respect to pollutants like PM, SO2 and NOX. From the results the maximum values of
GLCs which occurred have been selected for prediction of impact. The days on
which the maximum of GLC values have occurred and the meteorological data of
that particular day has been given in Table below.

Occupational and safety
Pool fire hazard is expected during fire accident. The maximum TLV as per ACIGH is 5
mg/m3 of oil mist. The oil level mist is not recorded so far in the plant. In case of fire
also, the permissible level of 5 mg/m3 of the oil mist in the air will not be reached.
Further, the plant is handling FO by burning for thermal treatment to pellet. In this
process, oil mist generation is not expected. Hence, it is expected the health of the
workers will not be affected due to oil mist.
Evaluation health status of worker
During September 2014, a medical examination was conducted by M/s. Utkal Polyclinic
for BRPL pellet plant workers. A team consisting of various qualified Doctors and lab
technicians from about 12 disciplines were involved in the survey. The detail study is
enclosed as Annexure to this document.
In future, similar type of Medical examinations are planned to be conducted annually.
The annual report will be submitted to MoEF, RO office.
Plan and fund allocation for Occupational Health and safety
It has been planned to spend about 50 lakhs per Annum to ensure Occupational and
health status of all (Contract/Causual) workers.
It has been planned through safety officer that every employee and casual labour will be
undergoing training of one week about health and safety before they are inducted in the
job. The training will be conducted as per Occupational Health and Safety norms.

1997-2009 and the said 90 acres of land was handed over to BRPL on 2007
in two separate agreements for 81.75 acre and 8.25 acre of land respectively.
The diversion proposal for the total forest land within the Kalinga Nagar
Industrial Complex was approved by MoEF in two phases i.e. 3508.64 acre in
the year 1993 & 2136.86 acre in the year 1996. As per the agreement
conditions, the compensation cost comprises of cost of land, cost of
rehabilitation, cost of compensatory afforestation and in the manner
stipulated by the lessor as for the covenants on the part of the Lessee
hereinafter contained, both hereby demised unto the Lessee for the purpose
of establishing their proposed plant in Kalinga Nagar Industrial area.
As per the provision of Rehabilitation & Resettlement Act, 2013, Govt.
acquired land with the ultimate purpose to transfer it for the use of private
companies for stated purpose. The purpose of LARR 2011 includes publicprivate-partnership projects, but excludes land acquired for state or national
highway projects, comes under the purview of SIA of the displaced families
for R & R implementation and monitoring.
The socio economic survey and socio-economic resources mapping and
infrastructure survey is limited to the study of affected families (direct and
extended) in the project area of M/s BRPL pellet plant project in Kalinganagar
Industrial area, Jajpur district. The survey covered 15 project affected families
(PAF) due to BRPL, covering Khurunti, Managobindapur & Sarangpur. The
total displaced families are 601 from these villages due to the Kalinganagar
Industrial area spread over approximately 13000 acre of land. The main
objective of a socio-economic survey is to collect, assemble, analyze,
interpret and to provide the base-line socio-economic status of the people
living in the affected areas.
At present, 70% of the total population from the Khurunti, Sarangpur, and
Managobindapur villages is rehabilitated in the two distinct rehabilitation
villages, which includes all the PAFs due to BRPL. Therefore, the true
genesis of their socio-economic conditions is not known. Further, the distinct

nature of occupation and livelihood status is still in developing process.
IDCO has developed two rehabilitation colonies at Trijanga and Gobarghati
with necessary infrastructure. Total 492 plots have been allotted in two
rehabilitation sites namely Trijanga & Gobaraghati out of which 361 plots
have been allotted at Trijanga, 131 plots have been allotted to displaced
families at Gobarghati rehabilitation colony. Out of 492 allotted plots, 15
numbers of families were displaced by BRPL setup. The rest numbers of
families were displaced because of utility sector namely road, green belt,
drain, etc and also vacant land left acquired under Kalinga Nagar industrial
area. Remaining 565 families have been self-relocated with assistance of
Rs.50,000. The basic infrastructure like road, water supply and power supply
have been provided at both the colonies.
Other than the IDCO responsibility, BRPL as a responsible organization has
undertaken various developmental activities including peripheral development
under its CSR schemes.
As per the study observations on the socio-economic aspects of the project
affected persons/households and socio-cultural infrastructure a few
suggestions are made which are as follows.
The findings of the present socio-economic study suggest that most of

the households are primarily depending on wage. Similarly, a few
households depend on service/private job in the nearby places.
However, the employment (both direct and indirect) of the people in the
plant has to be given utmost importance.
Interaction with the people suggested that many of the households
aspire to get a job in the plant. Thus up-gradation of skill for the local
youth in the long run and provision of employment to at least one
person of the affected family may help improving their economic
condition.
In case of no industries of displaced families eligible for employment
otherwise, the upper age limit shall be relaxed by five years.
BRPL will notify their employment capacity sufficiently in advance.
As far as practicable, the objective shall be to provide one member from
each displaced/other family as mentioned above with employment in the
project.
On the basis of SES, prioritization has to be made for order of
preference in order to provide training as well as alternative source of
income to the displaced/affected families and the order of preference as
per the policy.

Analysis of Alternatives Technology
Enclosure-19
All Industries have their own ongoing program for research and development by
pursuing different technologies. Steel making industries are not an exemption for
research & developmental work and infact, they are more vigorously pursuing the
research works. Raw materials replacement is one area which requires immediate
attention for research in order to meet the demand of feed ores. Globally iron ore
resources are either depleting fast or to be mined in environmentally sensitive area.
The past forty years of mining led to lot of fines with low grade iron which cannot
be fed into blast furnaces directly. Earlier, these low grade fines were considered
as mine waste and they were dumped at mine sites as waste dump. However,
advent of new technology facilitates to convert the waste into useful products.
Pelletisation of iron ores is one technology born out of various research programs
carried out internationally.
Induration Process for Iron ore green balls
The major indurating processes developed for thermal treatment of green pellets
are as follows:
Shaft furnace process

Grate-rotary hearth-shaft furnace process
Annular furnace process
Circular indurating furnace process
Grate-kiln process
Amongst the above pellet processes, the travelling grate process and Grate-kiln
process are most advanced and the advantages and disadvantages of these two
are described below.
The travelling grate machine used for induration of green pellets resembles the
well-known sintering machine of Dwight Lloyd design. The equipment consists of
three main parts:
The central part is movable and consists of pallets, comprising of a frame

and a supporting structure into which grate bars are inserted. The pallets are
connected by means of sliding seal bars with the wind boxes in a gas tight
manner
The bottom part consists of the stationary wind boxes connected with gas
mains and the moving grate
The upper part comprises of heating and air supply system in a stationary
hood above the grate.
The system serves to carry the necessary drying, heating or cooling of gases
through the pellet bed. Important process equipment is fans with which the process
gases are moved through the charge. At one end, the green balls are charged and
the indurated pellets leave the grate at the opposite end. The entire thermal
treatment is achieved during one passage of pallets. To protect the grate bars from
thermal shocks, hearth and side layers of indurated pellets are used.
The advantages of Travelling grate induration process are production of pellet from
different types of iron ore fines, uniform quality of pellets, possibility of use of
different types of fuels including non-coking coal, relatively low specific heat
consumption, production of large pellet quantities in one machine etc. As a result,
this process is one of the most popular processes for production of pellets. As the
machine features a sophisticated system of gas recirculation within the individual
zones, a high-precision control and high degree of automation have also been
developed for most economic operation of the travelling grate machines. In India,
all the operating pellet plants have adopted Travelling grate process.
Grate kiln process
The grate kiln process is also the most common process for pellet hardening. It is
basically a modification of the Lepol cement making technology. It differs from the
rest of the pellet hardening units in which drying, hardening and cooling are carried
out in a single device. The grate kiln unit comprises of three stages viz. straight
grate, rotary kiln and circular cooler. The green balls are first dried and preheated
on the straight grate by gases discharged from the rotary kiln. They are then
hardened in a counter flow manner in the rotary kiln and air cooled in a annular
cooling system.
The first grate kiln unit was commissioned by M/s. Cleveland Cliffs in the Humboldt
Mine plant during 1960. The grate has two or more wind boxes to provide for the
gas draught. The heat for drying and preheat is supplied by the gases discharged
from the rotary kiln, and hot air from the cooler is utilised in the rotary kiln. The bed
on the drying and preheating grates is 150-200 mm whereas the bed on the straight
grate machine is deeper. The firing on the rotary kiln lasts longer and the material
is cooled in a separate cooler, such as circular cooler, in which cooled air passes
through a relatively deep (0.8-1.0 m) bed of pellets. A number of modifications of
grate-kiln process have been made to improve thermal efficiency and the biggest
rotary kiln installed in USA has a capacity of 4.0 Mt/yr.
The major drawback of grate kiln system is likely to build-up of materials inside the
rotary kiln and it is necessary to test the raw materials to establish proper thermal
regime of the kiln. The only plant installed in India with grate-kiln process was at
Noamundi and had been dismantled. However, the grate kiln process has been
adopted for production of pellets from different types of iron ore fines and the
specific energy consumption is low compared to Travelling grate process. The
quality of pellets (produced by this process) with respect to tumbler and shatter
index are superior and uniform, as pellets are rotated and tumbled continuously
during firing inside the kiln.
A comparison of travelling grate process and grate kiln process is given in table
below.

Selection of induration process

Based on the above, it may be concluded that out of several processes of pellet
hardening, either Travelling grate or grate kiln process can only be selected for the
proposed plant as hematite ore is to be processed and both the above processes
are most established for processing such types of ores. However, based on the
operating experiences in such large scale plants in India, Travelling grate process
has been selected for the proposed plant.
The plant is equipped with latest state-of-the-art automation and control system for
uniform heating and firing of green pellets, speed control of the grate, etc. for
production of superior uniform quality of products.
Identification of process route
On the basis of the above technological considerations, selection of processes for
the 4 MTPA BRPL pelletisation complex are as indicated below:
Grinding & beneficiation based on wet grinding system

Filtration by Pressure filters
Disc pelletiser for production of green balls
Travelling grate process for heat hardening of pellets

Enclosure-25
The BRPL Pellet Plant site is an irregular polygon piece of land which is classified
under Kalinga Nagar Industrial Complex. Odisha Government has acquired the land
and allotted to BRPL and to other organizations to develop various industrial hubs
pertaining to steel and allied metals industries. The plant site is physically isolated by
boundary walls on all sides and has no habitation within the area.
Hydrological properties of the plant area includes topographic slope, which in general
is from SW to NE direction. However, the regional slope within the buffer zone
indicates two sloping directions, one in NW and the other in SE directions on the East
and West sides of the plant respectively. The general slope is indicated by the nalla
flowing adjacent to the plant site on its North side.
The geomorphology of the area is of Lateritic Pede Plain and having scarcely
distributed fractures in a radial pattern. This is well observed by the distribution of
dendritic drainage pattern distribute in a radial pattern within the study area. The soil
types of the area is mostly loamy sand with sporadic patches of loamy clay.
Due to the lithology and geomorphology of the area, most of the area are in aquiclude
conditions with the perched water table conditions between 5-9 mt below ground level
with seasonal fluctuation of water table between 2-6 mts. The sub-surface groundwater
flow is on the North-West side on the east side of the plant and South-East side on the
west side of the plant area. This fact is re-established with the electrical conductivity
test on these two sides of the plant area as well.
The pelletizing plant is being designed with Zero Discharge concept with no solid or
liquid waste disposal. The wastes like fines generated and dust collected from ESPs are
being reused in the process of pelletizing. The wastes generated in other plants like
Coke Ovens are being used for firing in Pellet plant.
The process gases are being de-dusted using two ESPs and many other bag filters to
regulate emission to less than 50mg/Nm3. The work zone emissions are regulated as per
stipulated Indian standards.
With a physical isolation of the operation and being a zero discharge and zero waste
disposal plant, there is hardly any probability of water or ground water contamination
due to this plant operation, further complemented by low permeable lateritic lithology
of the area. However, for local retention of soil moisture and prevention of erosion,
adequate plantation may be carried out in all available vacant spaces. Due to the
geology of the area, it is apparent, any saturated underground flow of water will lead to
the lower contour exposures for local drainage without recharging the deeper aquifers.
