1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
1.1 Introduction
M/S JDW Power (Pvt.) LTD., (JDWPL), 1485/C-A2 Asad Jan Road, Lahore
Cantt, Pakistan are in the process of installing a 2x40 MW co-generation power
plant, using bagasse and imported coal as fuel.
The project consists of a stand-alone bagasse cogeneration facility that will be
constructed alongside the existing JDW Sugar Mills Limited (JSML) at Qasba
Shiren, Jamal Din Wali, District Rahim Yar Khan, Pakistan.
1.2 Project Location
The proposed project will be located adjacent to JSML sugar plant facilities for
ease in transfer of bagasse from sugar plant through conveyors and supply of
power & steam to the sugar plant.
1.3 Products Manufactured
The proposed plant has installed capacity to generate 80 MW power. Apart from
meeting the requirement of power & steam for the JSML sugar plant during cane
crushing season (for around 120 days) the proposed power plant will export about
66,361 MWH of electricity for approximately 180 days based on bagasse as fuel.

The facility, will generate a surplus of around 51.8 MW electricity during the
sugar production season for export to the national electricity grid of Water and
Power Developmnent (WAPDA). During sugar production off-season, about 71.8
MW electricity will be produced using available bagasse and imported coal and
electricity thus generated will be fed to the National Grid of WAPDA.
1.4 Fuel
Depending on the crushing season, Bagasse from JSML will be used as fuel for
approximately 180 days of the power plant operation. Total quantity of bagasse
available for steam and power generation is around 729,590 tonnes.

Executive Summary Page – S.4
It is assumed, that a 6,074 kcal/kg imported coal will be used. The power plant
will require 110,000 to 120,000 tonnes of coal per annum, depending on calorific
value. Coal will be transported from Karachi to the plant site by road trucks.
1.5 Power Generation Process
Conventionally, the sugar mills use low pressure boilers (24 bars) for generating
power and process steam. The steam passes through turbine and generates
required power for the sugar plant. The exhaust steam from the turbine is used in
the processing of sugar. This process of utilization of steam for generating power
and for processing of sugar is called cogeneration.
The proposed project will install High Pressure Boilers (110 bars) and steam
Turbines. Using the same quantity of bagasse, the proposed power plant will be
able to generate additional power for export besides meeting the power and steam
requirement of the sugar mill. The additional power will be fed to the National
Grid system.
Cogeneration process scheme is presented below:

Executive Summary Page – S.6
Two boilers will have a common chimney with a height of approximately 100
meters, Chimney parameters will be finalized at detailed design stage keeping in
view final combustion design and environmental regulations. Electrostatic
Precipitator (ESP) will be installed to bring the particulate matter to 50 mg/Nm3 as
set by the World Bank standrads. Bagasse ash will be collected and make
available to JDW Corporate farms and other farmers without any cost for
utilization in fields as fertilizer. The power plant will make coal ash available free
of cost for utilization in cement plants, brick kilns, building materials and
construction industries. There are about 50 brick kilns operating within a radius of
30 to 40 kms of power plant site.
1.6 Water
The site will require make up and cooling water for the operation. The water
requirement of the proposed power plant is to be met from tube-wells. The
ground water availability is of good quality and available plentifully as described
in the Hydro-geological report.
1.7 Waste Water Treatment
Liquid effluents from all sources including also sewage to be generated in the
power plant will be treated according to required levels of the National
Environmental Quality Standards as well as those by the World Bank, before
discharging into the near by water canal, after due permission from the competent
authority Incharge of the canal. Process for getting permission has already been
initiated. It is estimated that 50 to 60% of the liquid effluents will be recycled thus
reducing the requirement of raw makeup water by 40 to 50%.

3. PREDICTION OF IMPACTS AND ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN
Prediction of impacts depends on the nature and size of activity being undertaken
and also on the type of pollution control measures that are envisaged as part of the
project proposal. However, the following management practices would be
followed to ensure that the environmental pollutants concentrations remain within
the limits. The proposed plant may cause impact on the surrounding environment
in two phases.
During construction phase
During Operation phase
Mitigations of these likely impacts are described in the following sub-sections.
3.1 Impact on Air Quality and Management
Construction Phase
Increase in PM10, SO2, NOX, & CO levels due to construction activities and
movement of vehicles. The impact of these activities would be temporary and will
be confined within the plant boundary.
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Executive Summary Page – S.12
Operational Phase
Air pollution generating sources at proposed plant will be due emissions on
account of operation of bagaase & coal fired boilers. The important air pollutants
to be generated during bagasse operation from the proposed plant is mainly
particulate matter (PM). Whereas, the important air pollutants to be generated
during coal firing operation from proposed plant are mainly Particulate Matter
(PM), Sulphur dioxide (SO2) and Oxides of Nitrogen.
Electrostatic Precipitators (EPs) with 99.9% operational efficiency shall be
provided for the boilers.
3.2 Impact on Water Quality & Management
Construction Phase
The impact on water environment during construction phase is likely to be short
term and insignificant.
Operational Phase
Around 50 to 60% of the liquid effluents will be recycled after treatment. The
remaining effluents after mixing with treated sewage water will disposed off to
JSML effluent treatment plant for further treatment and disposal.
3.3 Solid Waste
Construction Phase
Generation of solid waste during this phase shall be controlled by mitigation
measures and impact will be insignificant.

M/S JDW Power (Pvt.) LTD., (JDWPL) House No. 1485/C, A2, Asad Jan Road,
Lahore Cantt, Pakistan are in the process of installing a 2 x 40 MW co-generation
power plant, using bagasse and imported coal as fuel.
The project consists of a stand-alone bagasse co-generation facility that will be
constructed alongside the existing JDW Sugar Mills Limited (JSML) at Qasba
Shiren, Jamal Din Wali, District Rahim Yar Khan, Pakistan. The facility, as well
as supplying power and steam to the existing sugar factory, will generate a
surplus of around 51.8 MW electricity during the sugar production season for
export to the national electricity grid of Water and Power Development Authority
(WAPDA). During sugar production off-season about 71.8 MW electricity will be
produced using available bagasse and imported coal and will be fed to the
National Grid of WAPDA.
The spirit of the Equator Principles (EPs) - “seeking to ensure that the projects we
finance are developed in a manner that is socially responsible and reflect sound
environmental management practices” has been adopted by and large by almost
all national and international Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) and as
such it has become an important pre-requisite for obtaining project financing.
This spirit has been kept in mind while preparing this report. This EIA Report has
been prepared for the proposed power project keeping in line with the Asian
Development Bank Guidelines for such EIA reports.

The proposed JDWPL project belongs to the JDW Group of Industries operating
its JDW Sugar Mills Limited (JSML) at Qasba Shiren near Jamal Din Wali in the
Rahim Yar Khan District of Southern Punjab region of Pakistan. The JDW Group
of Industries own three sugar mills and is the largest group in the sugar sector in
Pakistan. The JSML was incorporated in Pakistan on 31st May, 1990 as a Private
Limited Company and converted into a Public Limited Company on the 24th
August, 1991. The proposed JDWPL project will be located adjacent to JSML.
1.5 STUDY TEAM

EIA – JDWPower (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-1, Introduction Page – 1.8
various other important aspects related to the project for synthesis of a realistic
EIA report of the project.
1.6 NATURE AND SIZE OF THE PROJECT
M/S JDWPL are planning to install an 80 MW co-generation power plant. Two
condensing and extraction steam turbines (2 x 40 MW) with two high-pressure
boilers (2 x 210 tph), having bagasse as primary fuel and imported coal as
secondary fuel, will be installed close to the already operational JSML at Qasba
Shireen, near Jamal Din Wali, District Rahim Yar Khan. The project will use the
sugar mill’s by-product, bagasse, as fuel source which is not only economically
supportive but also environmentally friendly at the same time.
The power plant will be installed adjacent to the JDW Sugar Mill, Qasba Shareen,
near Jamal Din Wali, District Rahim Yar Khan, so that the primary fuel bagasse
would be available to the power plant without any interruption and without
incurring any extra expenditures on the transportation of bagasse. Steam
condensate from adjacent JSML will be returned to power plant.
1.7 LOCATION
The power plant is designed to run on bagasse to cater for the reliable and
economic power to the sugar plant as well as the national grid to help mitigate the
chronic power shortage in the country and also to meet the power and process
steam demand of the JSML. Due to this reason, the power plant has to be sited
EIA – JDWPower (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-1, Introduction Page – 1.9
close to the Sugar Mill to satsify both requirements as well as the return of steam
condensate from Sugar Mill.
1.8 IMPORTANCE & BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT
Despite severe challenges, the economy has shown resilience in the outgoing
year. Growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for 2009-10, on an inflation-
adjusted basis, has been recorded at a provisional 4.1%. This compares with GDP
growth of 1.2% (revised) in the previous year.
The economy has been growing at an average rate of 5.1% over the past six years
ending June 2010. According to the Economic Survey of Pakistan, 2009-10, “the
longer term prospects for the economy are promising, given potential drivers such
as the size and dynamism of the Pakistani diaspora, the potential for unleashing
large productivity gains in agriculture, improvements in the economic
environment by a deepening of regional trade and investment links, and the
harnessing of the ‘youth bulge’”. The expected growth objective will need a
commensurate rise in energy use. Considering the strong correlation between
economic growth and energy demand growth, there is an imperative need for
sustained increase in energy supply not only to sustain the growth momentum but
also to protect the economy from disruptions caused by energy deficits reflected
in demand management, popularly known as load shedding.
The demand and supply of electricity was balanced in 1997 with the
commissioning of private sector Independent Power Producers (IPPs) established
under the Private Power Policy of 1994. Generation capacity has increased since
1997, and it was expected that demand and supply would remain in equilibrium

ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-1, Introduction Page – 1.10
through 2009. However, faster economic activity, rising disposable income,
higher availability of consumer finance, double-digit growth of large-scale
manufacturing, and higher agricultural production have all resulted in higher
demand for power. As peak demand growth approached 6.6% per year during
2001 to 2007, the supply shortage occurred much earlier than 2009. With double
digit growth of large scale manufacturing in Pakistan, it has resulted in higher
demand for power in the country.
As a result of serious power shortages, load sheddings are frequent in Pakistan.
The gap between power supply and demand is further on the increase.
Consequently, all walks of life are being adversely affected.
To sustain growth, Pakistan needs an integrated National Energy Plan. The
Government of Pakistan (GOP) is making concerted efforts to ensure
development of energy resources. The government has encouraged the private
sector to meet this additional demand. In order to bridge the gap between power
demand and supply, Pakistan Government liberalized its investment policies. The
policy has resulted in investments in the power generation sector from both local
and foreign sources.
Pakistan is energy deficit country. Fossil fuels are already in short supply, and the
available ones are fastly depleting. On the other hand, their industrial use is fast
on the increase. In order to meet the present day requirements of the fuels and to
fulfill the future increased demand, alternate fuels have to be inducted on a
priority basis. With increasingly more disparity between energy supply and
demand, and keener attention of the Government to environmental protection, use
of non-conventional energy resources such as bagasse as primary fuel for power
EIA – JDWPower (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-1, Introduction Page – 1.11
generation has been favored in government’s policies. The GOP has recently
announced a Co-Gen Power Policy for sugar mills to generate power using
bagasse more efficiently. Bagasse is currently being used in the sugar industry in
an uneconomical way for producing heat and power in low-pressure boilers.
In line with Co-Gen Policy 2008, JDWPL is planning to install an 80 MW Co-
generation power plant with bagasse as primary fuel and coal as backup fuel near
its Jamal Din Wali Sugar Mill at Qasba Shireen, near Jamal Din Wali, District
Rahim Yar Khan.
According to the project feasibility report, Pakistan has an installed electricity
generating capacity of about 19,400 MW. Projection for the demand in year 2030
is forecast to be 100,000 MW. The Government of Pakistan has recognized that
bagasse-based cogeneration power plants can play a significant role in
augmenting the country’s power generation capacity. Accordingly, the “National
Policy for Power cogeneration by Sugar Industry” was promulgated in January,
2008. It is estimated that Pakistan has a potential of generating more than 3000
MW of electricity through Cogeneration from its existing sugar industry.
The power plant will be spread over a total of 43.24 acres. The total estimated
cost of the project is US$ 135 million.
1.9 TYPE OF THE PROJECT
EIA – JDWPower (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-1, Introduction Page – 1.12
At present, approximately 2-3 million tonnes of sugar cane is being crushed per
year at JSML. Ample amount of bagasse through this activity is available that
will be used as a primary fuel for the cogeneration power plant in order to fulfill
the electricity and steam energy requirements. The project feasibility is based on
bagasse as primary fuel and coal as backup fuel.
The proposed project feasibility has been prepared by AVANT-GARDE,
Chennai, India, and has also been used as a source of technical information for
this EIA report.
1.10 OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
The main objective of the proposed project is to generate cleaner, economical and
reliable energy from indigenous biomass fuel which will not only provide a better
alternate source of energy but also boost to agriculture sector and save millions of
dollars which is wasted to import expensive oil to be used as fuel for producing
electricity. It will also reduce environmental hazards caused by burning furnace
oil as fuel for producing electricity.

1.11 POLICY, LEGAL & ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORK
A. National Legal Requirements
The Government of Pakistan has actively pursued the cause of environmental
protection. It has been a party to several international declarations, agreements
and conventions and has also ratified these documents.
Pakistan has also created organizational structures and enacted rules for the
protection of the environment. The Constitution of Pakistan contains provisions
for environment protection and resource conservation. Several laws exist for the
protection of the environment, which are discussed below.
Pakistan Penal Code 1861 (adopted from the British legacy), which is a general
criminal law and applies all over the country, contains specific provisions on the
subject. Thus it prohibits mischief by killing or maiming animals, or damaging
works of irrigation, rivers, roads, bridges, drains or firing explosive substances
with intent to cause damage. The Code also prohibits public nuisance by acting
negligently to spread the infection of disease or disobeying quarantine rule or
causing adulteration of food or drink or drug, or fouling water or making the
atmosphere noxious to health etc.
The promulgation of the Environmental Protection Ordinance, 1983 was the
first codifying legislation on the issue of environmental protection. Later, the
Government passed the Pakistan Environmental Protection Act (PEPA), 1997,
which is the basis of IEE/EIA studies carried out for the projects in Pakistan.

A.1 PAKISTAN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ACT, 1997
PEPA, 1997 is a fairly comprehensive legislation and contains stipulations
for the protection, conservation, rehabilitation and improvement of the
environment. It contains concrete action plans and programs for the
prevention of pollution and promotes sustainable development. The salient
features of the law are:
It covers air, water, soil, marine and noise pollution including
pollution caused by motor vehicles.
The Act provides National Environmental Quality Standards
(NEQS) for wastewater, air emissions and noise.
The law provides clear cut guidelines for IEE/EIA for various
projects as per their magnitude and anticipated impacts.
The law also empowers the Federal Government to issue notices
and to enforce them for the protection of the environment.
For the effective implementation of the provisions of PEPA, 1997, the
Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency headed by a Director General
has been constituted. On the same pattern, Provincial Environmental
Protection Agencies (EPAs) have been created in all the
provinces.Environmental Tribunals have also been constituted according
to PEPA, 1997.

B. International Requirements
B.1 The Asian Development Bank (ADB) Environmental
Assessment Process
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) introduced EIA requirements in
1992. The ADB “Environmental Assessment Guidelines” were published
in 2003. Since 1994, the ADB has approved a number of policies to guide
its project and policy cycles as well as to ensure accountability of
borrowing countries, project proponents, and the Bank itself. The policies
can be categorized into three: safeguards, sector and others.
The Safeguard Policies include the Environment (2002), Indigenous
Peoples (1998) and Involuntary Resettlement (1995) policies. All three
Safeguard Policies are due for revision and ADB intends to address
emerging environmental and social challenges of development in its
Developing Member Countries (DMC). Sector Policies include Energy
(2000), Fisheries (1997), Forestry (1995), Water (2001), etc. Among the
other important policies are the Public Communications Policy (2005) and
ADB Accountability Mechanism (2004).
According to Asian Development Bank, “Safeguard Policy Statement
2009”:
ADB Environmental Policy: The ADB Environmental; Policy addresses
five main challenges. According to the ADB, the Environmental Policy is
EIA – JDWPower (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-1, Introduction Page – 1.22
based on its Poverty Reduction Strategy and Long-Term Strategic
Framework.
The area around the proposed project site has a sensitive environment
comprising prime agricultural soils, human settlements, Cholistan desert
biodiversity, mango orchards and cultural sites.
Because of strict compliance with the environmental management system
during the operational phase of the plant, all environmental aspects
including stack gaseous emissions as well as particulate matter will remain
well within the prescribed limits of the World Bank Standards. All
effluents will be treated to meet the requirements of the World Bank
Standards. Noise levels will also conform to the World Bank limiting
values. Solid waste will also be disposed off in environmentlly sustainable
manner and necessary documentation will be maintained. Most likely, it
will be done through a contractor, who will be provided due information
about the wastes to be disposed by him. A record of the wastes will be
maintained to tackle any eventuality likely to occur.
The overall environmental aspects of the proposed project will be
managed according to Environmental Management Plan and
Environmental Management Monitoring Plan (Section -7).
In the light of facts regarding the project, when judged on the criteria for
the “Asian Development Bank, Environmental Assessment Guidelines,
2003- Determination of the Environment Category” the project merits for
EIA – JDWPower (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-1, Introduction Page – 1.23
placement in Category–A. This conclusion for placing the project in
Category-A is further supported by the same document under “Sample
Categorization for the Project Types”.
The EIA provides an assessment of the potential impacts of the project
and compares them to feasible alternatives. Mitigation measures are
provided to be incorporated during construction and operational stages of
the project in order to make the project environmentally friendly.
B.2 ADB Safeguard Policy Statement, June 2009
According to the ADB Safeguard Policy Statement, June 2009 for existing
facilities, “for projects involving facilities and/or business activities that
already exist or/are under construction, the borrower/client will under take
an Environment and/or Social Compliance Audit, including on Site
Assessment, to indentify past or present concerns related to impacts on the
environment, Involuntary Resettlement, and Indigenous People. The
objective of the compliance audit is to determine whether actions were in
accordance with the ADB’s Safeguard Principles and requirement for
borrowers/clients and to identify and plan appropriate measures to address
outstanding compliance issues. Where non-compliance is identified, a
corrective action plan agreed on by ADB and the borrower/client will be
prepared. The plan will define necessary remedial actions, the budget for
such actions, and the time frame for resolution of noncompliance.”

B.3 The World Bank Environmental Assessment Process
The principal international guidance utilized in assessing the significance
of impacts from the proposed development, and for determining content
and form of reporting from the World Bank was also utilized.
World Bank Operational Policies OP4.01 Environmental Assessment
(January 1999):
This sets out the World Bank’s policy on projects requiring an EIA and
defines what the assessment is designed to achieve and what issues must
be considered. It also sets out guidance for screening projects and
identifies other World Bank guidance and policies that may be relevant.
World Bank – Pollution Prevention and Abatement Handbook (1998):
This handbook sets out the basic principles that are considered appropriate
to evaluating and controlling pollution from any defined project. The
handbook provides guidance on pollution management and sets out
generic environmental standards for air, water and soil pollution. This
handbook also provides sector guidance. Of most significance to this
project is the guidance for Thermal Power: Guidelines for new plant (July

The environmental assessment undertaken in this report also utilizes The
World Bank guidelines presented in the “Pollution Prevention and
Abatement Handbook” effective July 1998.
B.4 International Finance Corporation (IFC) Policy and
Performance Standards on Social and Environmental
Sustainability
The IFC applies the Performance Standards 1 to 8 to manage social and
environmental risks and impacts and to enhance development
opportunities in its private sector financing in its member countries
eligible for financing.
Environmental Assessment is the primary administrative tool to integrate
environmental considerations into decision making of all types of
development initiatives such as formulating policies, programs and project
funding.
C. INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK
The capability of regulatory institutions for environmental management
largely, ensures the success of environmental assessment for ensuring that
development projects are environmentally sound and sustainable. For
decision-making and policy formulation relating to environmental and
conservation issues, the institutional framework, as it exists in Pakistan, is
described below:
EIA – JDWPower (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-1, Introduction Page – 1.26
C.1 Federal Government Institutions
The Ministry of Environment, Government of Pakistan, deals with the
environment and wildlife issues at the federal level. Within the Ministry,
the National Conservation Strategy (NCS) Unit, established in 1992, is
responsible for overseeing the implementation of the Strategy.
Two organizations, the Pakistan Environmental Protection Council
(PEPC) and the Pak-EPA, are primarily responsible for administering the
provisions of PEPA, 1997. The PEPC oversees the functioning of the Pak-
EPA. Its members include representatives of the government, industry,
non-governmental organizations, and the private sector. The Pak-EPA is
required to ensure compliance with the NEQS, establish monitoring and
evaluation systems, and both identify the need to, as well as initiate
legislation whenever necessary. It is thus the primary implementing
agency in the hierarchy. The provincial EPAs are the provincial arms of
the federal EPA, which is authorized to delegate powers to its provincial
counterparts. One of the functions delegated by the Pak-EPA to the
provincial EPAs is the review and approval of environmental assessment
reports.
C.2 Provincial Government Institutions
Each province has its own Environmental Protection Ministry, with a
Secretary Incharge. Under the Ministry, the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) functions with the Director General as Incharge to carry
out all functions related to environmental issues. Environmental
EIA – JDWPower (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project

Section-1, Introduction Page – 1.27
Protection Agency (EPA) under the Minister. The provincial EPAs control
planning and development, and are responsible for the approval of the EIA
and IEE of new developments projects.
The Punjab Environmental Protection Agency (PEPA) is the provincial
agency responsible for the environmental protection and pollution control
in the province of Punjab. Accordingly, the proposed project falls in the
jurisdiction of PEPA. The EIA report for this project was prepared
according to the Guidelines as approved by the Federal Ministry/Pak EPA
and being followed by all the four provincial EPAs, was submitted to the
Punjab EPA. The Punjab EPA, after duly processing this EIA report, has
already issued Environmental Approval (EA)/ No Objection Certificate
(NOC) for the project for the construction phase.
C.3 International and National Non-Governmental Organizations
International and national Non-Government Organizations (NGOs), such
as the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural
Resources (IUCN) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), have
been active in Pakistan for some time. Both of these NGOs have worked
closely with the governments at the federal as well as provincial levels and
have positively contributed to the cause of environment. They have played
significant roles with regard to the formulation of environmental and
conservation policies. Another prominent NGO is the “Sustainable
Development Policy Institute (SDPI)” which has also played a very
significant role in upholding the cause of environmental protection in
Pakistan.
EIA – JDWPower (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project

Section-1, Introduction Page – 1.28
Environmental NGOs have been particularly active in the advocacy for
promoting sustainable development approaches. Most of the government’s
environmental and conservation policies, even at the provincial and
federal levels have been formulated in consultation with these leading
NGOs, who have also been involved in drafting new legislation on
conservation.
C.4 International Framework
For the assessment of the environmental impacts of the proposed project
on air, water and noise according to the international legal framework, this
report has also incorporated the "Pollution Prevention and Abatement
Handbook" by the World Bank Group that became effective in July 1998.
Within this handbook, different guidelines are mentioned for the purpose
of assessing industrial facilities with respect to their environmental
compliance. The guidelines for new thermal power plants are applicable
for the preparation of this environmental impact assessment.

SECTION – 2 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
2.1 EXISTING POWER GENERATION FACILITIES AT JDW SUGAR MILLS LIMITED
Present sugar cane crushing capacity of Jamal Din Wali Sugar Mills Limited
(JSML), belonging to JDW group of industries, is 20,000 tonnes per day or 833.3
tonnes per hour. The sugar mill is situated in Qasba Shireen, District Rahim Yar
Khan, in the Southern Punjab region of Pakistan. The project site is connected to
the entire of Pakistan through the national highway and railway running from
Karachi to Peshawar through Lahore, the second largest city of the country after
Karachi. The project site is also connected to through the airport at Rahim Yar
Khan, the district headquarter of the project site. The national highway is
convenient for the transport of coal from Karachi to the project site; therefore,
there is no need to use railway for transportation of the coal.
The sugar mill is about 40 kms from the city of Rahim Yar Khan. Normally, cane
crushing operation is carried out for 120 days in a year. The JDW Group also
manages a sugar cane farm of around 40,000 acres. This, besides other
advantages, ensures a continuous supply of sugarcane to the mill.
There are two cane milling (crushing) tandems with the capacities of 12,000 TCD
and 8000 TCD, respectively. The fiber content of cane is reasonably high and
hence the bagasse generation in the plant is 32% on crushed cane. After a
deduction of 1.6% towards the use of bagacillo (fine bagasse used for enhancing
filtration) in the sugar process and towards losses, a bagasse quantity of 30.4% of
cane crushed is available for use in the boilers. JSML presently utilizes the
bagasse produced in its captive low-pressure boilers and sells surplus bagasse to
nearby consumers.

Section-2, Project Description Page – 2.3
JDW Sugar Mills Limited (JSML) present total steam requirement is 432 tonnes
per hour at a pressure of 2.4 bar (a) and at about 130 oC temperature for various
consumption points in the sugar mill. Presently, the total power requirement of the
plant works out to about 21 MW.
The total steam generation for the plant is being met from six steam boilers. Two
of the boilers have a capacity of 60 TPH (tonnes per hour) each and the rest of the
boilers are with capacity of 80 TPH each. All the six existing boilers produce
steam at 24 bar (a) pressure and 350 oC temperature. All boilers are designed to
use bagasse as fuel. Normally, all boilers operate at their rated capacity to meet
with the process and electric generation steam requirements of 432 TPH. The
mills and shredders are driven with back pressure steam turbines.
The electric power requirement of the sugar plant is being met by a battery of five
(5) turbo generators. The capacities of the turbo generators are 2x6 MW, 2x5 MW
and 2x3 MW, aggregating to 28 MW of installed capacity. All the turbines used
for power generation are of the backpressure type using steam of 23 bar (a)
pressure and about 345 oC temperature. The exhaust pressure of the turbines is at
2.5 bar (a), and the entire exhaust steam from all the turbines is used for the sugar
processing. The balance of the process steam requirement is met through the
steam drawn through the pressure reducing valve and desuperheating stations.
There are two diesel generation sets with the respective capacities of 1250 KVA
and 625 KVA, all with the generation voltage of 415 V. JSML is planning to
bring down the steam consumption in the process to 36% from the present level of
51.8% of cane crushed. JSML will be supplied with a maximum of 300 TPH from
the proposed power plant keeping in view the planned steam economy measures.

2.2 PROPOSED COGENERATION POWER PROJECT OF JDWPL
The project proponent of JDW Power (Pvt.) LTD proposes to establish a modern
high pressure bagasse based cogeneration power plant at JSML with 80 MW
(2x40 MW) installed capacity. M/S Avant-Garde Engineers and Consultants
(Private) Limited, Chennai-600116, India, due to their vast experience in design
and implementation of high pressure Cogeneration projects, were selected for the
preparation of the feasibility report for the JDW Power project.
Cogeneration is generally defined as the coincident generation of electrical power
and useful thermal energy from the same input fuel. High pressure steam is
generated and used in a steam turbine for generating power and the steam is
extracted from the turbine at low pressures and the heat energy in the low pressure
steam is used in the sugar process. This type of cogeneration is also known as
combined heat & power cycle (CHP).
The cogeneration scheme proposed (Figure–2.1), at JDWPL, envisages two
identical units of 40 MW capacities each. Each unit will be designed with a 210
tonnes per hour capacity boiler with the outlet steam parameters of 110 bar (a)
pressure and 540 oC temperature.

The cogeneration plant boilers will be designed with a traveling grate with
hydraulic drive to burn bagasse and coal. The steam turbines will be double
extraction-cum-condensing machines with water cooled condensers. Cogeneration
concept proposed uses higher pressure and temperature steam to get more power
out of the system with surplus power, over and above that required for the
operation of the sugar plant, which will be exported to the national electricity
grid. The plant will be exporting surplus power to the national grid system during
sugar cane crushing season and all available power during off-season.
During the sugarcane crushing season, bagasse will be used as the fuel source.
During the off-season, surplus bagasse will be available for about 60 days
operation and imported coal will be used for the remaining period.
Since most of the steam will required to be condensed during off-season, the
steam turbines surface condensers will be sized for taking in the off-season
exhaust steam flow.
Table – 2.1 indicates material balance during sugar cane crushing season and off-
season, covering: fuels requirement, production of steam & its distribution and
generation of electricity and its distribution. During sugar cane crushing season
about 51.8 MW of electricity will be exported to national grid and during off-
season the project will be able to export approximately 71.8 MW of electricity.
The feasibility study for the project assumes that on an average cane crushing will
carried out for 120 days.

Both boilers will be equipped with electrostatic precipitators (ESP). Feasibility
study for the proposed project indicated that the ESP will be designed to contain
dust emissions to 100 mg/Nm3 during bagasse as well as coal operation.
According to recent information provided by the project consultants, M/S Avant-
Garde, the dust emissions will be reduced to 50 mg/Nm3 by addition of ESP units.
The Pakistan National Environmental Quality Standards (NEQS) requirement for
particulate matter is 300 mg/Nm3 for oil fired boilers and 500 mg/Nm3 for coal
fired boilers. The standards limit the carbon monoxide (CO) in stack at 800
mg/Nm3 and sulphur oxide at 1700 mg/Nm3.

2.3 SITE FOR THE PROPOSED PROJECT & PLANT LAYOUT
The plant site is located at an altitude of about 150 meters above mean sea level.
The global co-ordinates of the plant is 28” 31’ 52” N (latitude) and 70” 4’ 30” E
(Longitude). Annexure -2.1 presents various location map of the project.
Detailed layout map of the project is presented in Annexure - 2.2.
The proposed project is located north of the JSML plant site. Sufficient land is
available for the power plant installations close to JSML.
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-2, Project Description Page – 2.9
The proposed new power plant will be constructed north of the existing JSML
factory as shown in Annexure – 2.1 & 2.2. The proposed power plant is
considered a green field development.
The final design of the plant will be determined during the detailed engineering
works to be conducted prior to construction. However, the main features will be
the generator house, boiler plant and stack, water supply & process water
treatment facilities (including cooling water unit), wastewater treatment plants,
electric distribution and switchyard, bagasse & coal storage and handling
areas/facilities, ash handling facilities, fire-fighting & safety facilities and
laboratory facilities. The most prominent feature of the site within the surrounding
areas is likely to be the boilers chimney (stack).
2.4 BASIC INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES
All the basic infrastructure like roads; transport; water; repair and maintenance
workshops and technicians; communication facilities like telephone, fax and
email; utilities required to run the plant smoothly, office buildings, hostel, medical
facilities, security etc., already exist at JSML, Qasba Shireen, Jamal Din Wali,
District Rahim Yar Khan. Sharing of these facilities with the upcoming Power
plant will not only reduce the initial capital cost of the project but also reduce its
recurring cost thus making the project more cost effective.
2.5 PROJECT WATER REQUIREMENT AND SUPPLY
The site will require make up and cooling water for the operation. The water
requirement of the proposed power plant is to be met from tube-wells. The ground
water availability is good and reliable. However, there is plenty of surface water
available from nearby irrigation canal system. Water from the canal could be
utilized in case of emergency.
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-2, Project Description Page – 2.10
Hydrology report showing the availability of underground water, along with
necessary details is attached as ANNEXURE-2.3.
Due to plentiful availability of water, it has been decided to go with water cooled
condensing system for the cogeneration plant. The raw water supply has been
planned to be provided by tube-wells installed within the proposed plant
boundary. The raw water will be used as a source for make up water for the losses
in the process steam, boiler blow down, cooling tower blow down, service water,
etc.
It has been proposed to provide totally independent raw water and treated water
system for the proposed cogeneration project. The new system will include the
storage reservoir, clarifier, reverse osmosis and de-mineralization system and
storage tanks.
The proposed plant will be located in the area which is being fed by an elaborate
irrigation canal system; with the result that ground water aquifer is being regularly
replenished. Shortage of ground water is not expected. Analysis of ground water
is presented in Annexure-2.4.
Cooling Tower
The capacity of the cooling tower for 80 MW plant shall be a minimum of 8,700
m3/hr, and there shall be a minimum of three (3) Cells.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) Plant
The RO plant shall be designed to have two streams of 33 m3/hr. each.
Adequately sized neutralizing pit shall be provided near the RO plant for
collecting the discharges from the RO plant and effectively neutralizing the same
before pumping the waste to the sugar plant’s effluent treatment system.

Section-2, Project Description Page – 2.11
Demineralized (DM) Water Plant
DM water plant will be installed for complete demineralization of raw water for
use as boilers makeup water. Regeneration effluents after neutralization will be
sent to the wastewater treatment plant.
2.6 WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT
Liquid effluents from all sources including sewage to be generated in the power
plant will be treated according to required levels of the National Environmental
Quality Standards as well as those by the World Bank, before discharging into the
near by water canal, after due permission from the competent authority incharge
of the canal. The process for getting permission has already been initiated. It is
estimated that 50 to 60% of the liquid effluents will be recycled thus reducing the
requirement of raw makeup water by 40 to 50% Annexure-2.5. Thus there is no
possibility of any damage to the agriculture crops in the least.
2.7 FUEL AVAILABILITY, REQUIREMENT & SUPPLY
The proposed cogeneration plant will be designed to utilize bagasse and imported
coal as fuel.
Fuel consumption during cane crushing season and off-season is indicated in

Bagasse
Sugar cane on crushing and extraction leaves a residue called bagasse. The
geographical area surrounding the sugar mill is about 1,071,473 acres out of
which the cultivated area is 922,598 acres. The major crops in the area are cotton,
wheat and sugar cane. About 20% of the area is under sugar cane cultivation and
is growing. JDW Corporate Farms currently manage about 40,000 acres of
cultivable land and nearly 20% of the cane supply to the mill comes from the
farms. Cane supply to JSML comprises of 80% supply from local growers and
20% supply from the JDW Corporate Farms. JSML has not experienced any
shortage of sugar cane during its operation.
With 833.3 tonnes per hour crushing of cane, the bagasse generated in the plant
will be 266.66 tonnes per hour (TPH). Out of this, 13.33 TPH of bagasse (about
5% of the bagasse generated) is set aside for meeting with the bagacillo
requirements for vacuum filtration in JSML, losses, etc., and balance (253.33
tonnes per hour) is available for JDWPL for use as fuel in the boilers of
cogeneration plant.
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-2, Project Description Page – 2.14
Annexure – 2.6 present copies of Avant-Garde drawings No. 4.1 & 4.2, showing
the generation and consumption of bagasse during sugar cane crushing season and
off-season. The bagasse consumption has been revised by the JDWPL to 84.69
tonnes per hour for each boiler during cane crushing season and 62.96 tonnes per
hour during off-season.
During sugar cane crushing season (120 days) 241,834 tonnes of bagasse will
available as surplus for utilization during off-season. At full power plant capacity
utilization during off-season the bagasse will be available for about 60 days
operation. During remaining period (130 days) imported coal will used as fuel.
Technically the power plant will operate on bagasse as fuel for 180 days (120 +
60) at full power generation capacity utilization.
Of the major advantages of using bagasse as fuel in the power plant and locating
it adjacent to the sugar plant is that transportation costs are eliminated. The
bagasse will be consumed in the vicinity where it is generated. The bagasse from
JSML will be transported to the cogeneration plant through conveyors and the
surplus bagasse will be stored for future use during off-season.
Permission will be obtained for the right of way to pass steam pipe and baggass
conveyer belt, from the competent authorities in charge of the road and canal.
Rather, this process of obtaining permission from the concerned authorities has
already been initiated and the moment the permission letters are issued, they will
be sent to the ADB concerned authorities.
At full capacity utilization for power generation each boiler during off-season will
consume 62.96 TPH of bagasse or 18.44 TPH of coal, with the Higher Heating
Valve (HHV) of 6,074 kcal/kg.
Imported Coal
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-2, Project Description Page – 2.15
The project feasibility visualizes that coal will be imported from Indonesia, South
Africa and Australia as most suitable sources of coal supply.
It is assumed that at 6,074 kcal/kg, imported coal of analysis shown in Anneuxre-
2.7, will be imported. The power plant will require up to 120,000 tonnes of coal
per annum depending on calorific value and dispatch from the national grid.
The coal for the proposed power plant will be imported to Karachi by ships and
thereafter will be transported by road trucks to the plant site near Rahim Yar
Khan. The distance between Karachi and the project site is about 700 Km.
For coal handling from Karachi to the power plant site in an environmentally
sustainable order, complete detail has been provided in Section 7, “Environment
Management Plan”
2.8 ASH HANDLING
According to the project feasibility study, ash handling system envisaged for the
cogeneration plant is of two types and shall be provided for two boilers
individually:
Submerged scrapper conveyor system for grate ash.
Dense phase handling system for fly ash.
The ash received in the grate discharge hoppers will be around 500 oC, with ash
lumps of size 200 mm maximum. The ash from ash riddling hopper will be dry
and powdery in nature and occasionally without solids. The temperature of the
ash will be around 200 oC maximum.
The fly ash from the Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) Hoppers will be dry and
powdery in nature and occasionally with hot solids. The temperature of ash will
be around 200 oC maximum. The fly ash from the Air Heater Hopper will be dry
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-2, Project Description Page – 2.16
and powdery in nature and occasionally with hot solids. The temperature of ash
will be around 300 oC maximum.
The project will produce both bagasse and coal ash. To minimize the impact on
the environment and maximize value creation, the power plant will implement an
ash utilization plan. Ash will be handled in dry form and directly loaded into
enclosed trucks of the end-users through ash silos.
The project is projected to produce about 5,850 tonnes / annum of bagasse grate
ash and 8,700 tonnes / annum of bagasse fly ash. As the bagasse ash is rich in
field nutrients such as potash and phosphates, the power plant will make the
bagasse ash available free of cost to JDW’s corporate farms and local farmers for
application in the field.
The project is also expected to produce about 7,200 tonnes of coal bottom ash and
7,200 tonnes of coal fly ash. The power plant will make coal ash available free of
cost for utilization in cement plants, brick kilns, building materials and
construction industries. There are about 50 brick kilns operating within a radius of
30 to 40 kms of power plant site. The management of these brick kilns and other
industries will be formally approached to secure agreements to off-take the coal
ash.

2.9 OPERATION EFFICIENCY
2.9.1 During Cane Crushing Season
Boiler efficiency at HHV of bagasse has been estimated to be an average of 70%,
according to the feasibility report. The boiler efficiency with Lower Heating
Value (LHV) of bagasse will be 88.5%. HHV and LHV of 50% moisture bagasse
respectively are 2,200 kcal/kg and 1,739 kcal/kg.
The fuel supplied for the operation of both boilers will be 169.36 TPH of bagasse
with HHV of 2,200 kcal/kg or 9,205 kj/kg. The LHV of bagasse fuel will be 1,739
kcal/kg or 7,280 kJ/kg. The fuel heat input, based on LHV of the fuel, to the
boilers per hour will be 1,213.722 GJ/hr.
The net electric efficiency of the plant will be 21.57% during the season operation
of the cogeneration plant. Taking into consideration the thermal energy supplied
from the cogeneration plant, the efficiency called the Combined Heat and Power
(CHP) Efficiency works out to 78.36% as discussed below:
The net electric power = 73,140 kW or 263.304 GJ/hr.
Heat energy supplied to Sugar process
= 730.706 GJ/hr
Heat Energy returned to Cogeneration plant
= 110.934 GJ/hr
Net Thermal Energy Supplied per Hour
= (730.706 – 110.934)= 691.772 GJ
CHP Efficiency =(263.304+691.772)/1213.721)x100 = 78.69%.

Section-2, Project Description Page – 2.18
2.9.2 During Off-season
The boiler efficiency with HHV of bagasse is estimated to be 70%. The boiler
efficiency with LHV of bagasse will be 88.5%. Under coal firing, the boiler
efficiency with the HHV of coal is estimated to be 85.1% and with LHV of coal is
estimated to be 88.49%. The plant design HHV and the LHV of coal respectively
has been taken at 6,074 kcal/kg or 25419.69 kJ/kg and 5841.91 kcal/kg or
24448.39 kJ/kg.
The fuel supplied for the operation of both the boilers, under bagasse firing will
be 125.92 TPH. The fuel heat input to the cogeneration plant, based on LHV of
bagasse, per hour of off-season operation will be 916.697 GJ/hr.
Under coal firing, the fuel supplied for the operation of both the boilers will be
36.88 TPH.
Under the off-season operation, the CHP efficiency is not applicable and only the
plant electric efficiency is applicable. The net electric efficiency of the plant,
based on LHV, under bagasse firing will be 29.02%.
The net electric efficiency of the plant, based on LHV under coal firing will be
29.2%.
The JDWPL project will approximately replace 120,000 MT of coal per annum,
based on the electrical energy exported to the grid when using bagasse as fuel.
Apart from saving in the foreign exchange outflow, this will have a very great
mitigating effect on the green house gas emissions to the atmosphere. The above
discussion justifies the project from the point of view of augmenting the
generation capacity without much deleterious effect on the environment. In
addition to the above, the project will add to the much needed additional
generating capacity to the grid.

Section-2, Project Description Page – 2.19
Overall energy efficiency of the proposed JDWPL plant will be increased viz-a-
viz the existing JSML boiler & generators, using available bagasse. These will be
achieved by use of efficient new high pressure high efficiency boilers &
generators and by retiring JSML inefficient boilers and turbo generators.
The renewable energy bagasse based cogeneration plant achieves the objective of
a clean sustainable development without damage to the environment. The
proposed bagasse based cogeneration project will be responsible for curtailment
of the Green House Gases (GHGs) to the atmosphere.
2.10 PROPOSED PROJECT SCHEDULE
Detailed project schedule is attached as Annexure-2.7. The cogeneration plant is
expected to be in operation within about 24 months from the signing of the EPC
contract.

SECTION – 3 DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT
3.1 PHYSICAL RESOURCES OF THE PROJECT AREA
Physical resources of the project area are discussed below:
3.1.1 Atmosphere
(a) Ambient Gaseous Monitored Data
Baseline data for ambient gases was collected from the proposed project site.
Monitoring was carried out for Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2),
and Carbon Monoxide (CO) at 6 locations shown in the Annexure-3.1.
The monitored values of ambient gases (SO2, NO2 and CO) for 24 hours average
on the proposed project site remain at 58.4 µg/m3, 59.3 µg/m3 and 66.6 µg/m3
respectively. These values are well with in the acceptable limits of 150 ug/m3,
each for SO2 and NO2 for 24 hours average, as set by the World Bank, while no
limit for CO is set by the WB (Ref- Pollution Prevention and Abatement
Handbook, World Bank Group, Effective July 1998).
(b) Ambient Particulate Matter Monitored Data
Baseline data for ambient particulate matter (PM10) was also collected from the
project site. Monitoring was also carried out for twenty four hours as shown in the
Annexure-3.2
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-3, Description of the Environment Page – 3.3
The 24 hours average monitored PM10 on the project site remain at minimum 59.3
to a maximum 81.3 µg/m3 in twenty four hours, which falls within the acceptable
limits of 150 µg/m3 as prescribed by the World Bank.
(C) Baseline Noise Level Monitored Data
Ambient noise levels measurement were carried out at nine locations, within the
boundary walls of the proposed power house site, at four boundary walls of the
plant and at the adjacent road. The noise level monitored data are attached as
Annexure – 3.3. The noise levels at the monitored site remain at minimum of 34
dB (A) to maximum 69 dB (A).
Resultantly, noise levels with in the plant site are in compliance with the
prescribed limit of 85 dB (A) as set by the National Environment Quality
Standards (NEQS), Pakistan and 70 dB (A) by the World Bank.
3.1.2 Climate
Pakistan is situated on the western margin of one of the main monsoon regions of
the world. Due to this, the climate of the country is more Continental than that of
the other parts of Subcontinent.
Pakistan has four seasons: a cool, dry winter from December through February; a
hot, dry spring from March through May; the summer rainy season, or southwest
monsoon period, from June through September; and the retreating monsoon
period of October and November. The onset and duration of these seasons vary
somewhat according to location. Rainfall can vary radically from year to year, and
successive patterns of flooding and drought are not uncommon.
Generally, the climate of the Rahim Yar Khan District is hot and dry in the
summer and cold and dry in the winter. The summer season is comparatively
longer. It starts in April and continues until October. The winter season goes from
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project

Section-3, Description of the Environment Page – 3.4
November to March. However, the month of March and November are pleasant.
Dust storms are frequent during the summer season.
Temperature:
Mean monthly temperature during July = 30 – 35 0C
Mean monthly temperature during January = 10 – 15 0C
i- Hottest Month: M. Min. = 29.0 o C M. Max. = 41.1 o C
ii- Coldest month: M. Min. = 4.7 oC M. Max. = 20.00C
Rainfall:
Rainfall (July to December) = 100 - 150 mm
Rainfall (December to March) = 50 - 80 mm
Mean annual rainfall = 100 - 160mm
3.1.3 Topography and Geography
Pakistan lying in the northwestern part of the Southern Asian Subcontinent,
occupies the western end of the Indo-Gangetic Plains. The Indo-Gangetic Plains is
a large and fertile plain encompassing the most populous parts of Pakistan, most
of northern and eastern India, parts of southern Nepal and virtually all of
Bangladesh. The region is named after the Indus and the Ganges, the twin river
systems that drain it.
The Indo-Gangetic belt is the world's most extensive expanse of uninterrupted
alluvium formed by the deposition of silt by the numerous rivers. The plains are
flat and mostly treeless, making it conducive for irrigation through canals. The
area is also rich in ground water sources.
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-3, Description of the Environment Page – 3.5
The plains are one of the world's most intensely farmed areas. The main crops
grown are rice and wheat, which are grown in rotation. Others include maize,
sugarcane and cotton. The Indo-Gangetic plains rank among the world's most
densely populated areas.
Pakistan is divided into three major geographic areas: the northern highlands; the
Indus River plain, with two major subdivisions corresponding roughly to the
provinces of Punjab and Sindh; and the Balochistan Plateau.
Rahim Yar Khan District, where the proposed project is to be located, is a district
in the Punjab province of Pakistan. The city of Rahim Yar Khan is the capital of
the district. The district lies between 27.40' - 29.16' north latitudes and 60.45' -
70.01' east longitudes. The Indus flows on the northern outskirts of the districts of
Dera Ghazi Khan and Muzaffargarh. There is no other river, Nullah or lake in this
district.
This district is divided into three main physical features i.e. (a) Riverside area (b)
Canal irrigated area and (c) Desert area which is called Cholistan. The Riverside
area of the district lies close on the southern side of the Indus river mainly falling
in the river bed. The canal irrigated area lies on the South and is separated by
main Minchan Bund. The approximate height of the irrigated area is 150 to 200
meters above the sea level. The third part of the area called Cholistan lies in the
south of the irrigated tract up to the Indo-Pak border.
Jamal Din Wali’s irrigated area, where the project is located, falls in the
Bahawalpur Plain of the Upper Indus Plain. The Bahawalpur Plain area along
eastern side of the river Sutlej is included/grouped with ‘DOABAS” because the
riverine tract is followed by upland identical with Bars of the DOABAS. Its
North-eastern part is covered and meander flood plain, the central part is sandy
plan of which large area is leveled and being irrigated. Along its southern border
is Ghaggar channel, Bahawal Nagar, Bahawalpur and Rahim Yar Khan; areas
which are the best for cotton, while sugar cane and wheat are also grown in large

Section-3, Description of the Environment Page – 3.6
quantities. Cholistan desert extends up to around 50 km along the main railway
line on the South-East side.
3.1.4 Soil
Soils form a major part of environment. Their fertility and other special
characteristics have an important relationship with the environment. Climate has
great influence on the formation of soils; therefore, study of these factors is of
importance. Soil is the dynamic layer in which many complex physical, chemical
and biological activities are taking place. Soil scientists restrict the word soil or
solum to the surface materials which over the ages have adopted the distinctive
layers or horizon. Soils are made up of solids, liquids and gases. The solid part of
the soil is made up of both inorganic and organics. While weathering of rocks
make inorganic particles, the organic solids consist of living and decayed plants.
In order to classify the entire soils in Pakistan, the Soil Survey of Pakistan has
divided the country into nine ecological zones.
The fertile land of Jamal Din Wali falls in the sub-recent River Plains and consists
of areas between Old River Terraces and the recent times floodplains of the rivers.
There is a great similarity in the nature of sediments, depositional pattern and
their configuration to that of the “BAR” areas.
As regards their age, they are much younger than the “Bar” areas and have been
deposited only during sub-recent times. It is this age difference which is
responsible for weaker development in these soils. Because of illuviation or
elluviation of clay, calcic horizon, vertic characteristic and features are absent in
the soils of this area. The soils are developed to only moderate depths. Orchic
epipedon and cambic horizon are found in the soils. In local language these soils
are called “Bangar” Soils.

3.1.5 Ground & Surface Water
The land mass of District Rahim Yar Khan, where the project site is located can
be safely divided into two parts - the fertile land and the desert of Cholistan. The
Jamal Din Wali town where the Sugar Mill and proposed project site is located
falls in the fertile part of the land which is one among the food baskets of
Pakistan. Canal water and underground sweet water are the two main sources of
water for irrigation.
The project site is plain. Under ground water being sweet in most of the areas, it
is used for irrigation through tube wells. Canals also provide water for irrigation.
a) Underground Water:
Hydro-geological map showing the proposed project site is presented as Figure –
3.1 (next page).
The total land mass of 14, 83,000.0 acres of Rahim Yar Khan District is irrigated
from the underground sweet water through tube wells numbering 39,771 and
canals.
This underground water available in large quantities will be used for the entire
needs of the project. Extraction of water for project needs will not be at the cost of
its availability for irrigation or other uses. Hydrology report in this regard is
included in this EIA report.
Laboratory test results of the water collected from the tube well on the project site
are attached as Annexure- 2.4

Project Location Map
b) Surface Water/Wet Lands
There are no wet lands in the area in the true sense. Ahmedwa Canal and Jamalwa
Canal from Bhong Canal Head works of the Indus River System also feed the
fairly large part of the irrigated lands. A creek of the River Indus flows at a
distance of about 8-10 Km away from the project site.

3.1.5 Seismology
The proposed project site area is located in Seismic Zone-11, as shown in Figure
– 3.2.
Zone - 11 is the largest zone with respect to area, but it has the least seismic
activity. It covers most parts of Punjab and Sindh including the western areas of
India. In the south it covers the coastal areas of Sindh where a few but significant
historical earthquakes are found; however, there are generally few earthquakes in
this zone.

3.2 ECOLOGICAL RESOURCES
The proposed project is not located in the protected or coastal areas. 3.2.1 Fishery and Aquatic Biology
Very small amount of fish is occasionally found in the Ahmad Wah tributary which is far
to away from the project site. There are no fish farms at least within 15 km radius of the
project site or any other source of fish in the entire area.
3.2.2 Biodiversity
Natural capital of a country mainly includes all of a country’s wilderness areas and scenic
landscapes, including the associated flora and fauna. Pakistan has a total of nine major
ecological zones. The contribution of the “Natural capital” is recognized at three distinct
levels: species, genera, and communities (habitat and ecosystem). Both collectively and
within each level, the range or variety of the resources is referred to as the “Biological
Diversity”. The term has relevance for each of Pakistan’s administrative units—district,
province, and particularly country. The more the number of species, genera and habitats
and ecosystems present within these units, the greater is said to be the Biodiversity. The
biodiversity of the area, with this background, is discussed as under:
Forestry:
There are no forests within about 40 km radius of the project site.
Flora:
Plantation, grasses and shrubs along road, rail, and canal and river side exist. Similarly, in
general, trees, grasses and shrubs exist on the cultivable land. The land is fertile. Major

Wildlife (Fauna)
The area where the project site is located is thickly covered with crops. Due to
drastic human interventions very few wild animals are found in the area. Those
found include jackals, Black Cobra, lizards, porcupine etc. However, The
Cholistan Desert, situated at distance of about 60 KM from the project site, is
quite rich in wild life treasure. It will be worth mentioning that due to pouching,
hunting and loss of habitat on account of over grazing, some of the wild life is
decreasing in number. Rearing of buffalos and cows is done for milk both for own
use and for commercial purpose. Goats and sheep are also kept in abundance for
meat and milk. Camels and donkeys are also reared for transport of goods
especially in villages for carriage of fodder from fields to the farm houses or
“dairas”, sugar cane to sugar factories and cotton to ginning factories besides
other uses. Rare or endangered species do not exist in the proposed project site or
its surrounding areas.
The major wild life in Cholistan desert is listed as below:

3.3 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
3.3.1 Industry
The main industries in the district are textile, cotton ginning and pressing, sugar,
cottonseed oil, edible oil, soap, beverage making, agricultural implement manufacturing,
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-3, Description of the Environment Page – 3.14
and fertilizer manufacturing. Cottage industry includes ginning, pottery/clay products,
electric desert cooler, agricultural machinery, handicrafts, food industry, and embroidery.
Besides a number of ginning factories in the district, some bigger industries like
Unilever, Coca Cola, RC Cola, United Sugar Mills and Indus Sugar Mills are also
operating in the area. Though very slow, yet there is a growing trend in industrialization.
The present project and another sugar factory coming up are the examples.
3.3.2 Infrastructure Facilities
There is no instance of flooding of the area where the proposed project is to be located.
JSML has adequate sewerage management system. Water supply for JSML is being
provided from ground water by tube-wells.
The proposed power plant and the existing JSML sugar plant are located in a rural area.
The surrounding villages and settlements have not experienced any problem of ground
water, surface water, sewerage and flooding.
Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited natural gas pipeline, supplying gas to northern part of
the country, runs along the national highway close to Rahim Yar Khan City.
3.3.3 Transport
Rahim Yar Khan, the district head quarters of the proposed project area is connected with
other parts of the country by roads, railway and its own airport. The airport even provides
good air link to other countries. The economy of the district is growing quite fast.
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-3, Description of the Environment Page – 3.15
The proposed plant site is already connected with National Highway (N-5) through
adequate road network and addition roads are not required to be constructed.
3.3.4 Land Use
Sufficient land is available for the power plant installations close to its mother project,
JSML in Jamal Din Wali, District Rahim Yar Khan. The proposed project is to be located
north of existing JSML sugar plant. The land for the proposed project has already been
procured. Since the land is uninhabited, re-location/resettlement will not be required.
Since the power plant is to operate within the required emission levels of the World Bank
(WB) and the NEQS Pakistan therefore, there is no possibility of any change in the land
use.
About 50 to 60 % of the liquid effluents will be recycled thus reducing the requirement of raw
make up water by 40 to 50%. The remaining effluent will be treated on the project site to the
levels as applicable under the WB and the NEQS Pakistan including also the Thermal Discharges
as well as for the other parameters. After due treatment, the effluent, will be discharged into the
near by canal for which necessary permission from the competent authority in charge of the canal
has been requested for issuance of necessary permission to discharge the treated effluent in to the
canal. The moment the No Objection Certificate (NOC) is obtained, which is simply a formality,
it will be communicated to the ADB. Thus there is no possibility of any damage to the agriculture
crops.

Section-3, Description of the Environment Page – 3.16
3.3.5 Power Sources and Transmission
The area has adequate power transmission and distribution network. Agriculture tube-
wells requirement of power in the area is being met through the WAPDA distribution
system.
A separate power transmission system will be required from the proposed power plant to
connect to the national grid station near Rahim Yar Khan. As per the Pakistan power
policy, this transmission line will be constructed by the National Transmission &
Distribution Company (NTDC)/WAPDA. NTDC/WAPDA will also carry out the EIA
study for the transmission line in due course as per established practice.
3.3.6 Agricultural & Mineral Development and Tourism Facilities
The area is agriculturally well developed, being one of the richest agriculture districts of
the country and the food basket of the Punjab District. As mentioned in the earlier part of
this report, the major cash crops in the district are cotton, sugarcane, and wheat. Most of
the orchards comprise mangoes and citrus. The district supplies about 24% of the mango
produced in the country. Major portion of the mango crop is exported and thus their
export earns a handsome foreign exchange. The details of the orchards are given below:

Minerals availability is non-existent in the district.
Limited tourism facilities exist in the district except for the famous Bhong & Matchka
Mosques and the Cholistan Desert.
3.4 CULTURAL AND SOCIAL RESOURCES
3.4.1 Population and Communities
A majority of people in the area belong to the poor segment of the society. Most of them
do not have their own piece of land and work as laborers for other land lords and well to
do farmers. Feudal system exists in the area. Some of the influential residents of the area
are politically active and highly placed in Government quarters. A small segment of
people belong to the middle class while there is a fairly large number of people who live
below the poverty line.
It is estimated that about 80% of the Rahim Yar Khan District population belongs to rural
areas.
People belonging to the different castes and religious sects live in complete harmony with
each other. People belonging to the different tribal origins are Khore, Balochi, Kanjan,
Sheikh, Vadher, Bochrey, Jholan, Khumbney, Chacher, Solangi, Larr, Mothey, and
Chogley in the area. These peoples are governed under the national laws/ policies.
Many people especially rear cows and buffalos for producing milk even on semi
commercial scale. It will not be out of place to say that the area is one among the food baskets of the Punjab province. Mostly, villagers follow old traditions in almost every
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-3, Description of the Environment Page – 3.18
walk of their life. Elderly people command respect and play a deciding role in decision
making.
Underground water through tube-wells and hand pumps and canal water is used for
drinking and other house hold purposes.
Approximate population of the villages near the project site, their approximate distances
from the project site, availability of health and education facilities are given in Table -

3.4.2 Health and Education Facilities
A large cross section of the older generation is uneducated. But due to awareness about
education, the younger generation of both sexes is now trying to get education in almost
every department including science and technology on preferential basis. There is a rising
trend in the society to change their old traditional socio-economic pattern of life. Print
and electronic media are playing great role in bringing tangible change in the old pattern
of life.
Availability of schools and health facilities are far too behind the requirements. In some
of the villages there are primary or high schools. For intermediate onward education
students have to go to Rahim Yar Khan city.
Medical facilities in most of the villages are lacking and those available are of very
preliminary nature.
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-3, Description of the Environment Page – 3.20
Awareness about importance of education is growing and the same is reflected by the
large number of students in educational institutes within the city and in other cities of
learning. Road, rail and air links at a distance of 40-50 Km are facilitating the interaction
of local people with people from other parts of the country due to which people’s
lifestyles are evolving.
3.4.3 Socio-economic Conditions
Most of the population belongs to villages. The villagers and a large cross-section of the
urban population still stick to social customs of the old past. A traditional life style is
followed in most walks of life. Arranged marriages are liked and they are quite
successful. Joint family system prevails. The people, particularly in villages, are very
hospitable.
3.4.4 Physical & Cultural Heritage
Bhong Mosque is an important cultural and religious site in the area. There is no other
cultural or religious site, graveyard or sacred places in the near vicinity of the project area
or along the transport route except the Bhong Mosque situated at a distance of about 20
Km from the project site. The mosque is maintained by a private individual. Religious
harmony is also a major character of these communities.

ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-4, Review of Alternatives Page – 4.2
SECTION – 4 REVIEW OF ALTERNATIVES
4.1 ALTERNATIVES
It is the requirement of the Asian Development Bank as well as best practice that the EIA
should consider project alternatives and their relative potential impact on the
environment. Alternatives must, however, be both practical and reasonable, within the
overall constraints of the proposed project development.
4.2 NO ACTION (ZERO OPTION)
This option requires the EIA to consider the potential positive and negative impacts that
may arise if the project did not go ahead.
The “zero option” would result primarily in negative impacts. If commissioned, the new
plant would replace the existing inefficient boilers and turbo generators and so provide an
improvement to local air quality and the noise environment (Sections 5).
The project will be using available quantity of bagasse (renewable energy source) for
additional generation of 51.8 MW electricity during 120 days of cane crushing season
and for around 60 days of off-season at 71.8 MW to supply much needed power to
national grid. Displacement of fossil fuel energy production during bagasse use period
will also result in a net reduction in CO2 emissions so contributing to the control of
climate change.
The project would also provide additional revenue to the sugar industry which will help
to secure its future and so offset some of the current and increasing pressures on the
financial viability of the sugar sector.

The zero option would, however, remove the potentially negative impacts of the proposed
development, primarily associated with the clearing of existing ecological habitats during
the construction of the transmission line to Grid Station near Rahim Yar Khan.
4.3 PROPOSED POWER PLANT SITE
When the need for additional power generation capacity was confirmed, JDWPL had
reviewed a number of siting options prior to the selection of the final proposed location.
Selection of site for installation of a cogeneration power plant is based on following
criteria:
Availability of land;
Availability of fuel;
Availability of water for cooling and process;
Access to electric grid station and transmission system;
Availability of infrastructure;
Availability of managerial and skilled personnel.
The cogeneration power plant, under reference of this EIA is intrinsically linked with the
sugar factory as discussed within the project description. This linkage is twofold, firstly
the supply of bagasse from the factory to the cogeneration power plant and secondly the
provision of steam to the factory from the cogeneration plant with the return of good
quality condensate.
Due to the physical restrictions within the JSML factory site and the requirements for the
two plants to be in close proximity, no practical alternative site locations exist, except the
site that has been proposed.
Major relocation of the plant, away from the JSML sugar factory, would add significant
additional capital and operational costs (steam/condensate pipe work and bagasse
transport) and was not therefore considered a practical or reasonable option. The base

Section-4, Review of Alternatives Page – 4.4
case site is also the least environmentally sensitive of any alternative location that may
exist around the site.
The proposed site; adjacent to the JSML; has all the infrastructure available. Water will
be available from tube-wells (ground water) and an alternative surface water source of
nearby canal; NTDC proposed grid station is located at about 26 kilometers distance;
adequate workshop and maintenance facilities, along with trained, experienced and
skilled workshop technicians are available who are already running the workshop
available at JSML. Similarly, experienced and skilled managerial manpower is also
available in the area.
4.4 COGENERATION OPTION
Cogeneration has been adopted as standard means of energy generation since long by the
sugar industry. With the use of efficient processing and energy management systems,
energy from bagasse, over and above the sugar factory needs, is available and can be
exported conveniently in the form of electric power. Application of sugar cogeneration
will replace a part of fossil-based electricity generation leading to a more sustainable mix
in power generation.
Cogeneration with power export will assist in reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs)
emissions. In order to continue reliable, efficient and safe operation, the existing steam
and power generation system will be closed down and replaced with the more efficient
system in proposed power plant.
Presently, sugar industry world-wide except for Pakistan uses high-pressure boilers by
burning bagasse and the high pressure steam for power generation and the low pressure
steam for process heat. Introduction of high-pressure technology in Pakistan will result in
more power production to supply to the national grid and less emission of GHG.

Section-4, Review of Alternatives Page – 4.5
4.5 OPTIONS FOR BOILERS
The only option to use the bagasse effectively is the combustion route, where the bagasse
is combusted in a boiler to generate steam. However, because of the nature of and
characteristics of bagasse, both atmospheric & circulating fluidized bed technologies
(AFBC and CFBC) and the pulverized fuel (PF) combustion technologies are not suitable
for the stand-alone combustion of bagasse.
Some attempts had been made to integrate the traveling grate or pinhole grate technology
with a PF technology, but the applicability of this design for use of stand alone
bagasse/coal firing, the cost and efficiency are questionable. So, for all practical
purposes, the traveling grate technology will be the best suited for this specific
application. The traveling grate technology may not be the best for coal, as other
technologies like CFBC and PF are best suited for coal, but however, with two totally
different types of fuels and with other technologies not suitable for bagasse, a
compromise has been made to settle for the travelling grate operating on the Rankine
Cycle, with a traveling grate fired boiler and with a turbine which is designed to supply
the process steam from its extraction points.
Many options are available for selection of boiler pressures and temperature. Table - 4.1,
below, presents the production of steam and expected power generation at various
pressure/temperature levels.

67/480 2.27 378.0
87/510 2.24 401.0
110/535 2.21 437.0
Using bagasse & coal as fuel and travelling grate furnace, the optimum option is selection
of boiler pressure at or close to 110/535 (pressure/temperature). At higher pressures the
steam turbine efficiency also increases. A change in pressure cycle from 21/340 to
110/535 increases the power generation by 88%. Under the circumstance the selected
boilers with high pressure is the best alternative.
4.6 FUEL OPTIONS
Fossil energy resources consist primarily of natural gas and furnace oil. Domestic oil
supply is considered negligible and natural gas resources are becoming scarce in
Pakistan. However, substantial coal deposits are available in the country, but mining of
all of them is quite expensive. Moreover, domestic coal is very high in sulphur and ash
content, which will lead to severe environmental hazards. The project’s proposal for
using high quality imported coal, after bagasse, is the best option for environmental and
economic reasons. In the absence of any cheaper fuel, bagasse utilization is of prime
importance.

Section-4, Review of Alternatives Page – 4.7
4.7 RENEWABLE ENERGY ALTERNATIVES
Renewable resources such as wind power, micro hydro, and solar photovoltaic are not
feasible options at the current time, but are subject to future consideration, particularly
with respect to the price of fuel. With availability of bagasse for approximately 180 days
the option of using other renewable energy sources will be highly cost ineffective.
Moreover, high wind speed is only apparent for short periods of time in the project site
area and hydro potential does not exist. Therefore, none of the currently available other
renewable energy sources, at the utility level, will be able to meet the current needs of the
JSML.

5.2 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS ASSESSMENT DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE
This section discusses the potential impacts from the installation of the proposed power
plant and associated facilities on the natural resources and environment of the site and
vicinity.
5.2.1 Land Acquisition
Land requirement for the proposed project will be met from the land (which was under
agriculture use) already procured. No resettlement activities and no expropriation
measures are required for realization of the proposed project.
The land required for the proposed project does not represent land of specific ecological
importance. The area was assessed as being without any features that are out of the
ordinary. No specific mitigation or compensation measures are required.
Extent of Impact of land acquisition = ▲(Low)
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-5, Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures Page – 5.4
5.2.2 Erosion/Sedimentation
The proposed project requires land clearing and site preparation for installation of the
power block and associated facilities.
No wetlands are present within the project boundaries. The proposed construction area
is not anticipated to significantly impact the land on site. Some trees removal will be
required in any area where construction conflicts exist. Tree removal from the entire
property is not proposed, but only where required for the needs of the project.
General site preparation and construction activities associated with the overall
development of the Project site include the following:
Clearing/grubbing of all un-cleared portions of the construction area and lay-
down area;
Stabilizing, grading, filling, and contouring the area for power plant
facilities;
Construction of permanent storm water management system;
Performing groundwork as necessary for construction of facility footings,
foundations and underground utilities including electrical, water,
wastewater, and other piping systems;
Power plant facilities construction; and
Earthmoving, grading, re-contouring and landscaping.
Site preparation will consist of clearing and grubbing, followed by grading and leveling.
Vegetative debris from site clearing will be disposed and topsoil that is suitable for
reuse will be stockpiled for landscaping and for establishing vegetation after
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-5, Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures Page – 5.5
construction has been completed. During early site preparation activities, temporary
storm water management structures and soil erosion and sedimentation control devices
(e.g., ditches, retention basins, berms, and siltation fencing) will be used to minimize
runoff during the construction phase.
Site preparation and construction activities will not require any explosives. The plant
site will be cleared of all vegetation and organic matter in conflict with the proposed
construction. Rough grading, excavation, and backfill activities will be performed to
prepare the site for underground utilities, concrete foundations, and surface drainage.
Structural backfill materials may be imported to the site for constructing concrete
foundations and to raise grade site elevation to achieve proper drainage.
After construction of the power plant project is essentially complete, any remaining
areas that do not have an impervious surface will be re-vegetated with native plant
materials.
The plant site will be altered to construct new facilities. Structural and general fill will
be added to elevate the site to design elevations. Soils excavated for the major
equipment foundations may be used as general fill or structural fill, if appropriate. Fill
may be required to raise portions of the site to grade.
Since the site is in a flat area, the fill should not cause adverse impacts to site
topographic conditions. Very little, if any, runoff flows onto the proposed site.
Therefore, the fill will not impede existing drainage patterns. Added fill, with
compaction, will shift areas of percolation within the site. Runoff will be managed with
the storm water management system to mimic pre-construction conditions. During
construction, erosion at the site will be managed according to an erosion control plan.
After construction, pervious areas will be planted predominantly with native vegetation
to control erosion.

5.2.3 Air Quality
Major sources of dust emissions during construction include:
land clearing.
excavation.
earthwork.
ground leveling.
vehicles movement.
Emissions from vehicles and machinery.
Dust generation from construction activities is an important concern during construction
phase. Dust particles generally larger than 10 μm will settle down close to the
construction sites, resulting in visible deposition close to the construction activities.
Fugitive dust emissions will be greater during land clearing and site preparation phases.
Fugitive dust emissions will also be greater during the more active construction periods
as a result of increased vehicle traffic on the site.
The dust to be generated during construction activities is mostly inorganic and of a non-
toxic nature. Quantum dust generation will depend on weather conditions, wind
velocity, precipitation rate, and type of construction activities.
Dust and grit are expected to be present during the construction phase in dry months.
This will end when the major civil works finish. Some dampening of the exposed areas,
by employing dust control methods, may therefore be necessary during periods of dry
weather in order to reduce the risk of dust entrainment in the ambient air. Peak dust
generation, if construction activities coincide, will be during the drier months and this
dust will tend to become dispersed within the ambient air as a result of vehicle
movements. It will therefore be necessary to ensure that loads are covered to prevent
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-5, Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures Page – 5.7
fine dust blowing from open-top trucks. In dry periods, it may also be necessary employ
dust control measures.
There will be an overall increase in traffic and heavy machinery movement during peak
construction phase for limited period leading to a rise in emission level. These
emissions together with exhaust emissions from equipment/machinery deployed during
the construction phase are likely to result in marginal increases in the levels of sulphur
dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOX), carbon monoxide (CO), and unburnt
hydrocarbons. However, due to limited duration of the construction period and the use
of the equipment at different intervals, the impact on air quality can be considered as
low.
Potential minor sources of volatile organic compounds include evaporative losses from
onsite painting, refueling of construction equipment and the application of adhesives
and waterproofing chemicals.
The background levels of these pollutants are considered to be virtually low based upon
the low frequency of traffic use proximal to the site. However, even with the predicted
increase in construction related traffic and associated site activities, any increase in
these pollutants is considered to be almost insignificant.
Fugitive dust emissions from the construction site will be minimized using appropriate
dust suppression control methods. These standard control methods will include paving
or placement of gravel on roads, applying dust suppressing chemicals or water to roads
and other exposed surfaces, or other methods, as needed. The existing public road on
exiting site is already paved.
Spilled and tracked dirt (or other materials) will be removed from the road in a timely
manner. Of course, all construction related fugitive dust emissions, on the overall basis,
will be temporary and will cease to exist once construction is completed. Emissions
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-5, Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures Page – 5.8
from open burning will be limited by removing materials whose burning would produce
excessive smoke e.g., green vegetative materials.
During construction there will be some impacts on air quality. However, the proposed
mitigation measures will reduce the impacts to an acceptable level, especially as they
are limited to the construction phase. The overall construction period is expected to
have duration of about 24 months.
The quantity of any emissions to be released during the construction process will
generally be very low, but will vary on an hourly and daily basis as construction
progresses.
Extent of Impact on Air Quality = ▲(Low) [with adoption of mitigation
measures.]
5.2.4 Surface Water
The nearest surface water is the irrigation canal. The existing surface water will not be
affected by any construction activities. By avoiding uncontrolled discharges of liquids
and waste, implementing adequate waste management and instigating appropriate
organizational measures and mitigation actions, impacts on surface water can be
reduced to a low level and will be limited to the construction period.

measures.]

Section-5, Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures Page – 5.9
5.2.5 Groundwater
The proposed power plant site is located within the aquifer that serves the surrounding
communities. Based upon the importance and sensitivity of this aquifer, as well as good
construction practices, all precautions necessary will be required to reduce the potential
for site impacts to a minimum.
While the proposed site preparation and facility construction activities for the power
project are not anticipated to cause any short-term or long-term groundwater impacts to
the site, Best Management Practices (BMP) will be employed during construction to
ensure impacts (if any) are minimal and are properly mitigated.
Fluctuations in groundwater levels are expected to occur throughout the year due to
rainfall, by surface percolation and infiltration through the canal system. As a result,
minor dewatering systems may be required and maintained during certain phases of
construction (e.g., during engine foundation installation). After excavation, backfill,
compaction, construction of the permanent plant drainage system and certain concrete
construction activities are complete, the dewatering system, if required, will be
removed. Any restoration needed for affected areas will follow after the dewatering
equipment is removed. The implementation of appropriate erosion and sedimentation
controls will also minimize adverse water quality impacts during site preparation.
Spills of fuel oil can have a potential adverse impact on soil, groundwater and
particularly surface water during both the construction and operational phases of the
project. During construction, all fueling will be conducted in a manner consistent with
the spill prevention and response plan to be prepared by the construction contractor.
During construction, fuel oil will be dispensed from tanks/drums to be located onsite to
construction vehicles. Fuel for construction activities will be delivered to the site by
fuel truck drivers, who will be required to receive spill plan training prior to beginning
work. The trucks will be equipped with oil spill response materials. Each transfer will
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-5, Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures Page – 5.10
be documented. Implementing management controls should minimize the potential for
adverse impacts due to spills during site construction.
During construction all contractors, technicians and laborers will be required to
implement practices to minimize the potential for spills of fuels or chemicals.
Maintenance will be performed only in designated areas. In the unlikely event that spills
do occur, they will be managed in accordance with the project’s Environmental
Management Plan (EMP).
To further minimize potential environmental impacts it is recommended that full-time
environmental monitoring is conducted during construction, particularly during all
refueling operations to minimize potential concern. The environmental monitoring
could be under the environmental safety department, or a member of the safety
department with the authority of “stopping the job” in the event that noncompliance of
environmental regulation is being observed.
The proposed project includes the installation of supply tube-wells. The actual depths of
the supply will be based upon the results of the geotechnical study and will take into
account the occurrence of the local aquifer.
The wells must be designed to meet the necessary requirements for their intended
industrial use and public safety. At a minimum, the wells should be properly grouted
and cased to limit/reduce potential contaminants from impacting the upper freshwater
lens.

measures.]

Section-5, Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures Page – 5.11
5.2.6 Solid Waste
The major solid wastes to be generated during construction activities are:
Bricks waste
Waste from Quality Control
Paper bags
Used oil/lubricants
Metal/wooden waste
Medical waste
Empty drums or containers
Cotton rags
Miscellaneous waste: Miscellaneous solid wastes include a host of items like
batteries, tires, tubes, filters, belts, nylon strips, scrap wood, steel scrap, house
hold articles etc., which will be sold in the market through scrap dealers.
During the site clearance stage, it is anticipated that relatively large quantities of solid
waste would be generated consisting of top-soil and sub-soil. The generation and
disposal of site wastes is not considered to be a problem. Part of the excavated material
would be used for leveling and grading and the balance would be stockpiled at
designated locations on the site. Other solid wastes including, cooking waste and
general solid waste are often associated with a relatively large workforces. Cooking
wastes and general garbage will be collected at regular intervals and land filled at an
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-5, Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures Page – 5.12
approved disposal site. Sewage waste (construction type portable toilets) will be used,
and waste properly disposed.
During trenching any construction waste not utilized as fill material during trenching
activities should be removed from the route and properly disposed. The trenching route
should be restored to its original condition, prior to alteration by the project. In addition,
all solid waste and surplus materials should be removed from the project site and
properly disposed.
However, while disposing any waste material, all environmental aspects/impacts of
such wastes should be communicated clearly to the concerned contractor. Record of all
such sales should be maintained for later use if and when required.
Extent of Impact Due Solid Waste = ▲ (Low) [with adoption of mitigation
measures.]
5.2.7 Noise Impact
Construction of the proposed project is expected to take place for about 24 months, with
varying degrees of activity occurring during different phases of construction.
Construction phases are expected to include excavation, concrete pouring, steel
erection, mechanical/electrical installation and cleanup.
Noise is generated by operation of heavy equipment and increased frequency of
vehicular traffic in the area during construction activities. Vibration levels will also
increase due to these activities. However, these impacts are short term, intermittent and
temporary in nature and are not likely to be felt outside the boundary of the proposed
project.
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-5, Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures Page – 5.13
The exact noise levels are a complex function of variables such as the actual noise
levels emitted from each major noise-emitting equipment, their location and orientation
within the construction area, and their operation and load.
The adjoining localities are likely outside the range of impact of noise emissions due to
construction activities. It is assumed that the relevant International and World Bank
standards will be met.
Overall, the impact of noise generated during construction on the environment is
temporary and mainly confined to daylight hours. It is anticipated that it will be
possible to reduce noise impacts during construction to an acceptable minimum.
Extent of Impact on Noise = ▲(Low) [with adoption of mitigation
measures.]
5.2.8 Fire Risk
Fire and explosion hazard impacts are not expected during the construction phase due to
the limited quantities of flammable and combustible materials to be imported to the site.
The availability and use of portable extinguishing systems would limit the impacts of
small fires, and personnel will receive training on the proper use and locations of this
equipment. During construction, any waste disposal burning will be conducted in a
cleared and dedicated area under controlled conditions, on those days when ambient air
conditions will not permit embers to drift into the surroundings.

Section-5, Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures Page – 5.14
5.2.9 Ecological Impacts
5.2.9.1 Terrestrial Systems
During construction activities, land clearing is a necessary component of the
proposed development activity. Land clearing, as proposed, will be limited to
the just required limits for the needs of the project, and will be conducted in
such a manner that is protective of the environment.
5.2.9.1 Fauna and Flora
Site preparation for the plant does not require any clearing of vegetation but
ground excavation will be necessary.
The construction area is not perceived as including sensitive habitats. Under
normal dry weather conditions, a significant amount of dust will be thrown up
by excavating activities. Hence, vegetation and animal habitats in the vicinity of
the site and roads will be affected by wind-blown dust and its deposition. The
contribution to the natural dust concentration in the air will only be of
significance at the beginning of the construction phase, during the main
excavation activities. During this period, dust can be expected to settle on plant
leaves and aerial roots, which could hinder air exchange and assimilation by the
plants.
The temporarily increased vehicular traffic coupled with high noise levels due to
various construction activities may also have some negative impacts on animals.
Especially birds and other acoustically orientated animals living in the vicinity
of the site and the roads used can be disturbed by noise. Disturbances during the
period of construction could drive noise sensitive bird species from their
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-5, Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures Page – 5.15
habitats, but these are expected to return after construction has finished. No
endangered species were found in the construction area.
During the visual inspections of the site no nests or nesting was observed. No
birds or wild animals were discerned in the site vicinity. Accordingly, during the
construction phase of the project, birds would likely relocate to undisturbed
areas.
The influence of dust is unavoidable but mainly restricted to the first period of
the construction phase. No major impacts by dust and noise on the flora and
fauna in the vicinity of the site and the used roads are to be expected.
The construction related impacts on offshore fauna and flora may be considered
to be low.
Extent of Impact on Fauna & Flora = ▲(Low) [with adoption of mitigation measures.]

Section-5, Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures Page – 5.16
5.2.10 Impacts on Human Population
Construction related noise is not anticipated to be a significant concern to the nearest
receptor outside the project site boundaries. The construction activity will normally
occur during daylight hours and will run one shift per day. In addition, any excessive
noise generated by construction related activities will be short term and short duration,
and will generally not exceed the World Bank noise guidelines.
However, there might be a notable increase in road traffic as freight is moving to the
site. No direct impacts to the communities or neighborhoods are anticipated.
Based upon visual inspection of the site and site vicinity, the proposed power plant site
and roadway are absent of any residences. As a result, no relocation impacts are
anticipated.
5.2.11 Traffic Impact
It should be anticipated that an overall increase in traffic would occur directly as a
consequence of the proposed construction. An increase in traffic will occur to and from
the project site subsequent to freight arrival. The temporary traffic impacts are not
expected to affect significantly the local residents since residential development is
sparse in the immediate site vicinity. No significant traffic problems are expected
during the construction period, other than minimal delays for start and stop time for the
workers commuting to their residences and due to occasional heavy equipment and
materials moving to and from the site. Construction traffic generation should be viewed
at the most as a temporary inconvenience.

Section-5, Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures Page – 5.17
5.2.12 Socio-economic Impacts
Most of construction workers are anticipated to be hired from within the Rahim Yar
Khan District where the project site is located. In addition, general contractors/vendors,
consultants and engineers from within the country will provide technical and
specialized services. The construction impacts on the local employment opportunities
are beneficial, although relatively short term. Indirect employment in the local area will
also occur primarily in retail, eating and drinking establishments.
During construction of the plant employment opportunities will be created both for
skilled and unskilled local workers.
Extent of Socio-Economic Impact = ▼▼(locally favorable)
5.2.13 Public Services and Facilities
Construction related impacts to public services and facilities, such as police, fire, and
medical services and water, wastewater and solid waste disposal are not expected to be
significant. With minimal relocations to the project area expected, existing facilities and
services will be adequate to meet the demands on these services. The selected general
contractor will be responsible for removing and disposing of construction related debris.
5.2.14 Cultural Resource Impacts
Fugitive dust emissions will be properly controlled so that minimal impact on visibility
will occur. Also as discussed earlier, due to attenuation with distance, construction
noise will not affect the quality of life at the nearest habitats. Some minor
inconvenience may occur through increased traffic and equipment creating conflicts on
Highway N-5. However, during construction of the power plant, no conflicts are
anticipated with cultural resources in the area.

5.3 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS ASSESSMENT DURING OPERATION PHASE
This section discusses the potential impacts from regular operation of the proposed
power plant and associated facilities on the natural resources and environment of the
site and vicinity. Power plants invariably have potential for environmental impacts
during the operational phase of the project. During the operational phase the following
impacts are normally of significance:
Air quality impacts
Ecological impacts
Impacts associated with the abstraction and discharge of water
Impacts arising from solid waste management
Noise and vibration impacts
Soil, groundwater and surface water contamination
Accidents/explosions
Socio economic impacts
For the purpose of evaluating the impacts from the proposed project, National
Environmental Quality Standards (NEQS) Pakistan and the World Bank/IFC standards
are used. National Environmental Quality Standards (NEQS) Pakistan are presented in
Annexure – 1.3.
5.3.1 Air Quality Impacts
The combustion of fuels for power generation inevitably results in emission of gaseous
pollutants to the atmosphere. The pollutants of potential concern are sulfur dioxide
(SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) and
particulate matter (PM).
In general, the most significant emissions from the combustion in boilers of the
proposed project are sulfur dioxide (SO2), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), carbon dioxide
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-5, Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures Page – 5.19
(CO2) and particulate matter. Smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) are much less
problematic as developments aimed at improving combustion efficiency in the boilers
have also addressed these pollutants.
While each of these pollutants is discussed below, through the Air Dispersion Modeling
(ADM) carried for the parameters CO, NOx, SO2, and particulate matter their ground
levels concentrations are described in the following ADM data. For more details of the
ADM reference may be made to Annexure-5.1 to 5.9.
AIR DISPERSION MODELING (ADM):
Detailed air dispersion modeling has been undertaken using “SCREEN 3” model.
SCREEN uses a Gaussian plume model that incorporates source related factors and
meteorological factors to estimate pollutant concentration from point sources
continuously. It is assumed that the pollutants do not undergo any chemical reactions,
and that no other removal processes, such as wet or dry deposition, act on the plume
during its transport from the source.
The model was run on the following data provided by JDWPL:
1. The stack exhaust gases flows for various options is as below:
Bagasse Firing during Sugar Cane Crushing Season = 310.2 m3/s

The air dispersion modeling indicates that the emissions of SO2, NOx, CO and
Particulate matter in all cases, from the proposed project are in compliance with the
requirement of IFC with respect to IFC’s Emission Guidelines.
The unit has installed an Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) to the stack attached to the
boilers. IFC “Environmental, Health, and Safety Guidelines – THERMAL POWER
PLANTS, December 19, 2008” indicates that for solid fuel fired boilers, with power
plant capacities ranging at 50 to 600 MWTh, the PM10 should not exceed 50 mg/Nm3
for non-graded air shed. The project’s consultants M/S Avant-Garde in the feasibility
report indicated PM emissions for boilers at 100 mg/Nm3 for both bagasse & coal firing,
which did not meet the standard requirement set by IFC/WB. However, M/S Avant-
Garde subsequently amended the tender for supply of ESP to specify that PM emissions
will be 50 mg/Nm3.
It is evident from the above facts and figures that the proposed power plant is unlikely
to contribute significantly, if at all, to the acid rain phenomena based upon its use of
low sulfur content coal.
Extent of Impact of Air quality = ▲(Low
Green House Gases (GHGs), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Carbon Credits:
It is pertinent to mention here that where a renewable fuel is to be inducted in to the
power production activity there it will be a contribution in the reduction of green house
gases too. Accordingly, here under a resume of the same is given:
In all power plants relying upon the combustion of fuels, the boilers inevitably lead to
the emission of CO2. The use of bagasse as fuel ensures overall global mass emissions
of CO2 per kWh produced are comparatively low. Furthermore, the relatively low
carbon intensity of bagasse when compared with solid fuels reinforces such benefits.
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-5, Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures Page – 5.25
The proposed power plant being renewable energy project will contribute to
Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) avoidance besides the several attendant benefits of making
additional electricity available to national grid system.
Potentially positive regional or national impacts on air quality also derive from the
development of bagasse power generation plant. As the cogeneration plant is fired using
a renewable energy source (bagasse), the power generated will displace natural gas,
coal and fuel oil generation capacity at other existing and/or planned power generation
plant intended to supply the grid. This bagasse fuelled power generation project will
result in a reduction in emissions being emitted to the atmosphere.
The coal based power generation will result in carbon emission but in overall terms the
plant is carbon negative (i.e. it reduces GHGs).
5.3.2 Ecological Impacts
5.3.2.1 Impacts on Fauna and Flora
Air Emissions:
The effect of air emissions from the stacks upon breeding birds (if any)
proximal to the site will not be clear without careful monitoring. During the
preparation of the EIA, no nest or nesting birds were observed on or proximal to
the project site. Recommendations for a monitoring program include review of
areas immediately adjacent and proximal to the site. Since birds are generally
mobile, it is anticipated that they will relocate beyond the sphere of influence of
the plant.
The affect of gaseous and PM emissions on the adjacent areas, after adoption of
necessary mitigation measures, is not anticipated to be a concern, because the air
quality levels are predicted (according to AEM) to remain within those
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-5, Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures Page – 5.26
approved by WB/IFC/WHO for human health. Consequently, air emissions are
not likely to affect local fauna and flora. Noise:
Noise from the operation of the proposed project, after adoption of necessary
measures, will result in its level not exceeding the limits set by the WB. Thus,
noise from the project activity will not give rise to any serious adverse impacts
on the surrounding fauna and flora.
Waste Water:
Liquid effluents from all sources including also sewage to be generated in the power plant will be treated according to required levels of the National Environmental Quality Standards as well as those by the World Bank, before discharging into the near by water canal, after due permission from the competent authority Incharge of the canal. Process for getting permission has already been initiated. Accordingly, there is no question of any adverse impacts from waste water to fauna and flora.
Extent of Impact on Fauna & Flora = ▲(Low)
5.3.2.2 Landscaping
At the completion of construction activities, landscaping should include the
abundant use of native plant species.
After completion of construction phase, the site will be mostly dominated by
buildings, plant & machinery, stacks and storage tanks. Within this area of low
visual impact, the additional visual intrusion due to realization of the project
may be assessed as low.

Extent of Impact of Landscape = ▲(Low)
5.3.3 Supply of Water
The project plans to install tube-wells within the plant boundary. The production rate,
concomitant drawdown and the resultant radius of influence from the new wells should
be evaluated to confirm no detrimental impacts are caused by the production capacity of
the new wells.
It is recommended that monitoring of the influence of the withdrawals from the newly
installed wells should also be conducted. Measurements should include:
Baseline water quality data are available from the existing JSML tube-wells to
evaluate the water quality in the vicinity of the plant.
Subsequent to groundwater withdrawals, additional water quality data should be
collected initially at startup of the production well, and subsequently at a frequency
that will enable measuring any small changes in water quality, e.g., increases in
chlorides, to be observed.
Depth to water measurements to observe whether there has been a reduction in
ground water levels that results in movement of the freshwater lens/salt water
interface.
Noting whether induced movement or induction of pollutants into the water supply
is occurring resulting in a significant reduction in water quality.
Monitoring data should be able to confirm whether there have been any detrimental
impacts to the well field water quality.

5.3.4 Solid Waste Management
The types, sources, and management of solid wastes anticipated to be generated during
the operation of the proposed project facilities are as follows:
Plant wastes such as office wastes, packaging materials, garbage, refuse, redundant
electric gadgets, various types of wastes of a large variety and rubbish/trash will be
generated during the operational phase of the proposed project in addition to general
solid waste. According to nature of solid waste, some of these will be recycled,
burnt/incinerated on the site while others will be sold in the market through an
approved contractor while keeping all the records. The contractor will be fully
informed/educated about the nature of the wastes. Other plant wastes, such as lead
acid batteries will be segregated from other waste streams, collected and stored in
suitable containers, and if not incinerated will be transported off-site and disposed at
an approved land fill site by an approved waste transporter and contractor.
Special wastes such as hazardous waste, industrial solvents and other chemical
wastes, and used oil, will be generated during the operational phases of the
proposed project. Special wastes could also include items such as waste oils, waste
lubricants, paints, maintenance-related wastes, used air and liquid filtration media,
and empty or nearly empty chemical containers. Most, if not all, of these materials
will be disposed off by incineration. While others will be sold in the market through
a contractor, keeping record of them and informing the contractor of their hazards
and rational use.
Sludge from sewage and wastewater treatment plant, after due treatment, will be
used as manure for vegetation, trees etc.
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-5, Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures Page – 5.29
While there are definite advantages of incineration such as the reduction in volume
of the waste material as it is reduced to ash, incineration produces fly ash and
bottom ash just as is the case when bagasse & coal are combusted. Confirmation of
the hazardous/non-hazardous status of the incinerator ash is confirmed through
analytical testing prior to disposal.
As also discussed in Section 2, Serial 2.4, “Ash Handling”, the project will produce
both bagasse and coal ash. To minimize the impact on the environment and
maximize value creation, the power plant will implement an ash utilization plan.
Ash will be handled in dry form and directly loaded into enclosed trucks of the end-
users through ash silos.
The project is projected to produce about 5,850 tonnes / annum of bagasse grate ash
and 8,700 tonnes / annum of bagasse fly ash. As the bagasse ash is rich in field
nutrients such as potash and phosphates, the power plant will make the bagasse ash
available free of cost to JDW’s corporate farms and local farmers for application in
the field.
The project is also expected to produce about 7,200 tonnes of coal bottom ash and
7,200 tonnes of coal fly ash. The power plant will make coal ash available free of
cost for utilization in cement plants, brick kilns, building materials and construction
industries. There are about 50 brick kilns operating within a radius of 30 to 40 kms
of power plant site. The management of these brick kilns and other industries will
be formally approached to secure agreements to off-take the coal ash.

5.3.5 Noise & Vibration Impacts
Once operational, additional ambient noises may be of concern, however, package
systems are noted for the quietness of their operation, and according to the project
feasibility prepared by M/S Avant-Garde, ambient noise measurements of the
equipment/machinery will be designed to operate with a total noise level not exceeding
85 to 90 dB (A) in the very near vicinity of the machinery. While at the property
boundary, the noise level is expected to be less than 70 dB(A) as against the limiting
value of 70 dB (A) by the WB for industrial areas. Therefore, in case the built in design
of the plant achieves these noise levels then no excessive ambient noise impacts are
anticipated at the receptors especially the human settlements near to the project site.
Extent of Impact on Noise Level = ▲(Low) [with adoption of mitigation
and control measures.]
5.3.6 Soil and Surface Water & Ground Water Contamination
A major operational concern of any chemicals transfer operation is the control,
containment and efficient cleanup of any discharges or spills during transfer. To this
end, spill mitigation supplies including hoses, a boom of sufficient length, and
absorbent materials should be located at the chemicals unloading station. In addition, as
part of the transfer operation policy, each transfer should only proceed in the presence
of a plant operator, who has deemed the fitting between the transfer hose and pipe to be
secure. The absence of any mitigation equipment in the immediate vicinity of the
transfer operation can have potentially disastrous environmental consequences for the
ecosystem.
In the event of a spill/discharge, the spill should be contained and not permitted to
discharge to the adjacent surface water body.
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-5, Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures Page – 5.31
To this end, spill mitigation equipment should be located at the transfer station, to
enable a rapid response to control the movement of any discharged chemical.
Design of drainage systems, both within and outside process buildings, should take
account of the need to segregate spillages of hazardous materials. Drains systems to be
considered may include sewers, storm water drains, process effluent systems and
firewater drainage systems.
In many cases these functions are combined and often firewater and process effluents
are drained into main sewerage systems. Where there is a possibility that hazardous
substances could be discharged into a drainage system, interceptors or sumps should be
provided of sufficient capacity to ensure that an offsite major accident does not occur.
For process effluents arising from leaks or plant wash down, good practice is to provide
a local sump, which is sampled before emptying. Such sumps normally incorporate
level indicators/alarms for monitoring. Discharge can be to drums via submersible or
mobile pumps for onward disposal or via manual or manually operated automatic
valves into main drainage systems, if the contents are non-hazardous. As for drainage
following a storm event, consideration will need to be given for the possibility of valves
being left open.
A particular concern is the discharge of non-water miscible flammable liquids, which
form a top layer. These could ignite at considerable distances from the plant after
discharge. More sophisticated interceptors can be provided to facilitate removal of
floating flammable liquids. These tend to be designed to meet individual needs and may
incorporate conductivity-based level sensors to distinguish between layers.
Impacts on the soil quality could be caused by deposition of NOX in the soil. Normally,
a distinction is made between wet and dry deposition, with wet deposition having
considerably more impact, as air pollutants are effectively scrubbed out by the
precipitation. Because the amount of rainfall is relatively low, wet deposition can be
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-5, Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures Page – 5.32
neglected. It is not anticipated that deposition of NOX in the soil will have any
significant negative impact.
Extent of Impact = ▲(Low) [with adoption of mitigation measures.]
5.3.7 Societal Impacts During Operations
5.3.7.1 Neighborhood and Communities
Seven human settlements are present with in the distance of about 0.5 to 2 kilo
meters (KM) from the project boundary line, of which Jamal Din Wali (JDW)
has a total population of about 8, 000 to 10, 000 is hardly about 1.5 km away
from the proposed power project site. Out of these seven villages, with the
exception of JDW, none of these has any health facility or adequate drinking
water supply. Education facilities are not adequate.
Being very near to the project site, any environmental catastrophe or routine
type pollutant emissions and their concentration above the limiting values of
NEQS-Pakistan and/or the WB can cause adverse impacts on human health or
any element of the environment around.
Therefore, the project needs to be operated seriously keeping in view the
environmental management plan and sticking to the WB emissions standards.
Failing to operate within strict environmental controls could lead to serious
adverse effects on human health, wild flora and fauna, ecology and what ever
comes in contact with the emissions from the project.

Section-5, Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures Page – 5.33
5.3.7.2 Relocation Impact
As mentioned earlier, since relocation will not be required during
implementation of the project, no impacts are anticipated in the project area of
influence during operation phase.
Extent of Impact = ▲(Low)
5.3.7.3 Traffic Impact
Depending on the calorific value and dispatch from the national grid, up to
120,000 tonnes per annum of coal will be imported through Karachi/Bin Qasim
Ports. It is proposed to transport the coal from port to site using road trucks via
National Highway N-5. Handling & transportation of coal to site will be the
responsibility of private contractors. The project has to ensure that contractors,
drivers and their staff are trained and aware of handling coal and emergency
response plan. Loading of coal in trucks should be restricted to ensure avoidance
of any auto-ignition possibility.
Increase in the use of local roads should be anticipated as a direct consequence
of the operation of the power plant. The increase in local road use is anticipated
during peak hours and between changing operator shifts. However, based upon
the remote location of the site, no concerns are anticipated with respect to
increased traffic activity.
Extent of Impact = ▲(Low) [with adoption of mitigation measures.]
5.3.7.4 Economic Impact
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-5, Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures Page – 5.34
The establishment of the cogeneration JDW power plant will provide new jobs
at the plant site. Most people of the area make their living directly or indirectly
from agriculture and cottage industry.
Short-term economic benefit will be realized by providing janitorial services,
horticultural services, loading/unloading workers, canteen, and semi-skilled &
some skilled activities, as well as by increased use of available rental property.
Long-term benefits will include indirect employment, as a result of improved
and reliable electricity and other economic benefits provided by increased and
reliable supply of electricity. As a result, continued operation of the proposed
plant will generate revenue into the Country’s economy.
The installed electricity capacity is insufficient to meet current and near future
demand for power. Without additional capacity, the need for load shedding
becomes likely in order to maintain a balance between demand and generation
capacity. Therefore, the proposed project is designed to add to the current and
future needs providing reliable additional electricity generation capacity.
There are no negative or detrimental potential impacts on the socio-economic
setting of the area arising as a result of the proposed project. As such no
mitigation measures are required.
Extent of Socio-Economic Impact = ▼▼(locally favorable)
5.3.8 Environment Category of the project
The project under reference is sited in the following settings:
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-5, Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures Page – 5.35
i) Prime Agricultural Soils: The project site is surrounded by prime agricultural
land/soils where all type of crops grow. In a way, the area can be called as one
among the other important food baskets of Pakistan. Under the given environmental
scenario around the project site the power plant needs to be operated under strict
environmental control, failing which there could be loss not only to the crops but
also to the soil quality leading to drastic cut in the productivity of the soils.
ii) Human Settlements: Six human settlements in the form of villages are situated
with in a distance of 0.5 to 2.0 km from the project site, besides a town namely
Jamal Din Wali (JDW) sitting at a distance of about 1.5 km from the project
boundary line. Further to that the city of Rahim Yar Khan, district headquarter of
the project site is hardly 15 to 17 km away. Any uncontrolled discharges from the
project activity may result in serious impact on human health.
iii) Cholistan Desert Biodiversity: Cholistan Desert is situated at a distance of about
60 Kms from the project site. The desert enjoys international fame because of its
having unique biodiversity. Heavy and regular investment by Governments of
Middle East for preservation of its biodiversity is a clear proof of the high value of
the ecology of desert, which needs to be protected by all means including from any
pollutants emissions from the power plant.
iv) Mango Orchards: The area around the project site is rich for mango orchards. High
quality mangoes are produced in this area which are not only liked very much
locally but also exported thus earning a lot of foreign exchange. These orchards are
among the other delicate segment of the environment which needs to be protected
against any indiscriminate discharges of pollutants from the power plant operations
failing which this can result in tremendous loss to these orchards even permanently.
v) Cultural Site: Bhongh Mosque sited at about distance of 30 Km from the project
site is a master piece of art belonging to Multani Architecture. Any uncontrolled
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project

Section-5, Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures Page – 5.36
emissions (from the power plant operations) in excess of the required limits can
damage this Mosque.
In the light of the above facts regarding the project, when judged on the criteria for the
“Asian Development Bank, Environmental Assessment Guidelines, 2003-
Determination of the Environment Category” the project merits for placement in
Category–A. This conclusion for placing the project in Category-A is further supported
by the same document under “Sample Categorization for the Project Types”.

SECTION – 6 ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT
6.1 INTRODUCTION
The proposed project comprises installation of improved cogeneration system
generating greater amount of electricity burning the same amount of bagasse as
being used currently and thus additional electricity from this project will displace
the electricity generation of the equal capacity based on gas or oil.
With the application of efficient processing and energy management systems,
energy from the bagasse is available and can be exported conveniently in the form
of electric power. Application of bagasse based cogeneration for the proposed
power plant will displace a part of fossil-based electricity generation leading to a
more sustainable mix in power generation.
6.2 ECONOMIC BENEFITS
Benefits and advantages of bagasse cogeneration include:
a. Fuel costs paid in local currency and valuation of bagasse as a waste
product;
b. Increased fuel efficiency;
c. Increasing diversity and security of electricity supply; and
d. Location near to electricity distribution system, leading to minimal
transmission and distribution (T&D) costs.

Section-6, Economic Assessment Page – 6.3
a. Increasing the Viability of Sugar Mills
The long-term economic viability of sugar mills has become more
vulnerable, mainly due to fiercely competitive domestic and global sugar
markets. The inherent energy inefficiency of design and operation as well
as the industry’s high energy requirements are also factors of growing
importance. Appropriate remuneration of electricity from bagasse
cogeneration would increase the added value to the sugar sectors.
b. Fuel Costs
The capital costs of bagasse cogeneration plant are the lowest of all
renewable forms of power generation, equal to those of biomass
gasification projects, whilst generation costs, despite being higher than
biomass gasification projects, small hydroelectric (HEP) and photovoltaic
(PV), are at par with biomass power and lower than wind. Bagasse
cogeneration projects also have short development periods, as the
technologies used are proven and well established.
Cogeneration is more energy efficient than the separate generation of
electricity and thermal energy. Heat that is normally wasted in
conventional power generation is recovered as useful energy for satisfying
an existing thermal demand, thus avoiding the losses that would otherwise
be incurred from separate generation of power. Conventional electricity
generation is inherently inefficient, converting only about a third of a
fuel’s potential energy into usable energy. The significant increase in
efficiency with combine heat & power (CHP) results in lower fuel
consumption and reduced emissions compared with separate generation of
heat and power. This reduced primary fuel consumption is key to the
environmental benefits of cogeneration because burning the same fuel
more efficiently means fewer emissions for the same level of output.

c. Diversity and Security of Supply
The use of a local fuel source guarantees a certain degree of security of
energy supply, improving and increasing the trade balance with imported
fuels. Onsite crop use ensures that delivery times are short and costs are
kept low.
The advantages of bagasse cogeneration in increasing security of power
supply issues also include the capacity to generate during the off-season.
Power plants based on bagasse from sugar mills that produce and export
electricity also increase grid stability and reliability.
d. Location
Currently, centralized electricity-generation system wastes over two-thirds
of the energy contained in the fuel and continues to produce ever-
increasing carbon and other harmful emissions because of a continued
demand for energy worldwide. At least half of this wasted energy could be
recaptured when shifting from centralized generation to distributed
systems that cogenerate power and thermal energy onsite or nearby.
Cogeneration offers significant, economy-wide energy-efficiency
improvement and emissions reductions. Besides saving energy and
reducing emissions, distributed generation also addresses emerging
congestion problems within the electricity transmission and distribution
grid.
As a decentralized mode of electricity generation, bagasse cogeneration
reduces transmission & distribution (T&D) losses by supplying electricity
near its generation point whilst reducing loads on grid wires.

Integration of cogeneration technologies in the sugar industry, especially
in extra-high pressure and temperature configurations, will almost
certainly be essential for the long-term growth and economic survival of
the sugar industry. The ability to meet all of the JSML increased energy
needs as well as the promise of revenues from the sale of exportable
surpluses to utilities could become key factors in securing the sugar
industry’s viability.
6.3 REDUCTION OF GREEN HOUSE GASES (GHG) AND POLLUTION AT THE AREA OF
THE PROJECT
In terms of CO2 and other GHGS, baggass cogeneration would add no net
emissions: bagasse is viewed as a waste product that needs to be disposed off–
either by decomposition (composting) or combustion, both of which would
release, as CO2, the carbon contained in bagasse. Besides, if the bagasse were to
be composted, it would also release methane, a GHG 27 times more potent than
CO2. These benefits will enable bagasse cogeneration to be a potentially
significant player in international carbon credit markets, with sugar industries
reaping the social and financial benefits of the added revenues.
When using bagasse, this kind of fuel is evaluated as follows:
SO2 emission is virtually negligible because of very low sulfur content
in bagasse, etc.
NOx amount decreases due to low combustion temperature.
From the proposed cogeneration, combined heat and power (CHP) project, there
is simultaneous production of electricity and heat from one fuel input. Because of
the low efficiency of the existing low-pressure boilers, they will be replaced with
high-pressure boilers to derive the benefit of CO2 reduction. The proposed project
envisages at utilization of bagasse produced by JSML.

During 120 days of crushing season, 51.8 MW of surplus power will be exported
to the national grid. Gross electricity export during this period works out at:
Gross Electricity Export, crushing season = 51.8 x 24 x 120 = 149,184 MWH
During 60 days of off-season with use of bagasse as fuel, 71.8 MW of power will
be exported to the national grid. Gross electricity export during off-season,
utilizing bagasse as fuel, works out at:
Gross Electricity Export (bagasse as fuel), off-season = 71.8 x 24 x 60 = 103,392 MWH
Total exportable power generation from proposed project, utilizing bagasse, is
estimated at 252,576 MWH.
JSML existing total equivalent energy requirement, from bagasse, for electric and
steam driven system is indicated in feasibility study at 21 MW. With operation of
the JSML for 120 days the energy requirement works out at 60,480 MW. The
proposed project activity with operation of two 80 MW generators will produce
384,000 MW from bagasse during 180 days of operation. Net export from the
proposed project to national grid will be around 252,576 MWH.
The proposed project will reduce CO2 emission by avoiding combustion of natural
gas or other fossil fuel. Quantification of CO2 avoided is fairly straight forward
assuming that each kWh delivered to the national grid leads to an equivalent
reduction of power production by other grid connected power plants.
6.3.1 CO2 (GHG) Emissions Due to Combustion of Bagasse
In order to estimate the CO2 emissions due to combustion of bagasse the
following assumptions have been made:
Bagasse has a moisture content of = 50% (approximately)
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-6, Economic Assessment Page – 6.7
Carbon content in bagasse is 26%;
Total availability of bagasse for power generation is about 967,411 tonnes;
and
The plant will operate on bagasse for around 180 days.
Table – 6.1, below, indicates the theoretical generation of CO2 emissions from
total quantity of bagasse available.

6.3.2 CO2 (GHG) Emissions from Natural Gas Based 80 MW Power Plant
In case the proposed project is not implemented then to meet the national power
requirement equivalent amount of power generation, using natural gas as fuel,
will be required.
CO2 emissions, for natural gas based 80 MW power plant, have been calculated
using the following assumptions:
Total power generation during 180 days of operation with bagasse is taken
at 384,000 MW;
Overall energy efficiency is assumed at 35%; and
CO2 emission factor has been taken at 56.1tonnes of CO2 per TJ.

6.3.3 Comparison of Various Scenarios for Steam & Power Generation
For the comparison, four (4) scenarios/options have been used:
Scenario-1: This scenario is baseline situation, i.e. existing power &
steam generation by JSML. Steam is produced by combustion of bagasse.
For full capacity nearly all bagasse is utilized and very small quantities are
supplied to other users. The sugar mill has both, electric and steam drives,
plus utilization of steam for sugar processing. The sugar mill operation is
for 120 days. Average steam production is 432 tonnes per hour and total
power generation is 21 MW. Total Power Production is 60,480 MW (21 x
24 x 120).

Section-6, Economic Assessment Page – 6.10
Scenario-2: It is assumed that in addition to JSML baseline operation
(Scenario-1) a natural gas based power plant is considered to supply
equivalent proposed project’s export to national grid. The natural gas
based power plant is assumed to operate at an efficiency of 35%,
without cogeneration and production of steam.
Scenario-3: It is assumed that in addition to JSML baseline operation
(Scenario-1) a natural gas based power plant with cogeneration is
considered to supply equivalent proposed project’s export to national grid.
The natural gas based power plant is assumed to operate at an
efficiency of 80% with cogeneration.
Scenario-4: This scenario incorporates the installation of JDWPL that will
provide power and steam to JSML and power to national grid. All
available bagasse from JSML will be utilized.
Comparison of the various scenarios is presented in Table – 6.5 (next page). The
last two columns of the table show the ratios of CO2 emissions generation to
steam production from bagasse and ratio of CO2 emission generation to total
electric production.
The ratios for the scenario-4, i.e. proposed project implementation are lowest as
compared to other scenarios.

Section-7, EMP Page – 7.2
SECTION – 7 ENVIRONMETAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
7.1 INTRODUCTION
The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) will be used to ensure that the
proposed power plant is operated with minimum environmental impact as
permissible under the National Environmental Quality Standards Pakistan
(NEQS) and the standards under “Pollution Prevention and Abatement Handbook,
WORLD BANK GROUP, Effective July 1998” for Thermal Power: Guidelines
for New Plants. In order to accomplish this objective, the environmental
management systems described will comprise the following: Environmental
Management Plan, Environmental Monitoring Plan (EMtP), and Resources
Implementation and Training Program.
This EMP will serve as a guideline for the minimum requirements of the detailed
procedure to be developed, updated and revised as needed throughout the
construction and operation phases of the Project. The construction vender will be
responsible for preparing and implementing a detailed worker health and safety
plan, a copy of which should be provided to Company prior to start up of
construction activities.
7.2 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (EMP)
It should be stated that full-time monitoring will be required both during the
construction phase and operations phase of the project. The EMP task will likely
be administered by the “Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Department”,
who will have the authority where necessary to “stop the job” if an
environmentally detrimental activity is being conducted.
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-7, EMP Page – 7.3
The EMP operation/implementation will be the responsibility of the “HSE
Officer”, who will be coordinating, arranging the collection and reporting of the
results of all emissions, ambient air quality, noise and water quality monitoring.
Environmental Management Plan includes the protection, mitigation and
environmental enhancement measures to be implemented to reduce to a minimum
the adverse impact on the environment. The adverse environmental impacts
during the functional phase of the proposed project under normal operating
conditions are from air emissions, wastewater generation, noise and solid waste
generation.
Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is presented in this section. Mitigation
and compensation measures to address the environmental issues during
construction of the project are discussed in Section-7.3. The mitigation and
compensation measures essential to meet the requirement during operation of the
proposed project are described in Section - 7.4 of this Chapter.
In Section-7.4, monitoring recommendations are presented for documenting the
compliance of the project to the NEQS Pakistan and the standards under “
Pollution Prevention and Abatement Handbook, WORLD BANK GROUP,
Effective July 1998” for Thermal Power: Guidelines for New Plants.

7.3 MITIGATION / COMPENSATION MEASURES DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE These are presented in Table – 7.1 below.
Mitigation / Compensation Measures During Construction Phase
Table - 7.1
Potential Impact Mitigation Action Air Quality 1. Vehicles transporting loose construction material (clay, sand
etc.) to be covered with tarpaulins.
2. Limit on speed and movement of vehicles, where considered appropriate speed-breakers should be installed
3. Use low emissions trucks for material transport where possible (e.g. use of diesel particulate filter)
4. Routine service and maintenance of vehicles and machines to reduce engine emissions.
5. During periods with abnormal wind speeds, in particular during dry weather conditions, workers on the construction site should be provided with adequate inhalation and eyes protection gears. In case particulates in air hamper a clear view over the site completely, so that safety is impaired, the construction should be interrupted until weather conditions improve.
6. To reduce generation of dust in the construction process, onsite roads and parking areas, as far as possible, would be constructed with asphalt over a compacted sub base.
7. Spraying exposed soil with water to reduce PM10 emissions and particulate matter deposition. Water to be applied at a rate to maintain a moist surface, but not create surface water runoff or erosion conditions.
8. Provide wheel washers for vehicles to remove particulate matter that would otherwise be carried offsite by vehicles that would decrease deposition of particulate matter on area roads and subsequent entrainment from those roads.
9. Routing and scheduling construction trucks to reduce delays to traffic during peak travel times would reduce secondary air quality impacts caused by a reduction in traffic speeds while waiting for construction trucks.

7.4 MITIGATION / COMPENSATION MEASURES DURING OPERATION PHASE
These are presented in Table – 7.2 below.
MITIGATION / COMPENSATION MEASURES DURING OPERATION PHASE
Table 7.2
Potential Impact Mitigation Action
Landscape 1. To the extent possible, develop a green belt along the facilities boundary area and other open spaces, to create to some extent a natural landscape. The flora to be used for such green belt should be tolerant to the local climate requiring just minimum water to survive.
Ambient Air Quality 1. Continuous monitoring of ambient air for SO2, NOx, CO and PM to be carried.

EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-7, EMP Page – 7.9
Noise 1. Equipment will be acoustically shielded and /or lagged as far as possible.
2. A noise measurement campaign during full operation at operation start should be implemented to verify the real noise levels are in line with the standards under “ Pollution Prevention and Abatement Handbook, WORLD BANK GROUP, Effective July 1998” for Thermal Power: Guidelines for New Plants.
3. Workers should be obliged to use ear protection in areas within the plant and for specific work that exceed the tolerable maximum noise limits.
______________________________________________________________________________________
Coal/Bagasse Handling 1. Adequate measures, as practised internationally, should be adopted to eliminate the possibility of generation of coal & bagasse dust during handling, conveying and storage.
2 Coal handling at the port; including its unloading and transferring to the trucks for shipment to the project site should be done with extreme precautions to avoid any fugitive dust and spillage to the sea or on land. Internationally operative best practices including maximum reduction of distances between the conveyor belts and its upper cover should be adopted. Keep minimum drop distances at off loading coal from ships & trucks as well as at the stacking point. This will drastically reduce fugitive coal dust.
3 In order to avoid any damage to the sea water quality from the vagrant coal occasionally falling into it through the narrow gap between the rail of the barge and the dock, regular surveillance should be carried out. In case excessive piling of such vagrant coal on the sea bed is found then it should be salvaged.
Ash Disposal 1. Adequate measures for collection, loading, transporting, unloading and storage of fly ash and bottom ash should be adopted to ensure minimum possible emissions of ash and dust, and reduction of its adverse impact on environment. In order to reduce fugitive dust, drop distances at trucks ash loading points and unloading points should be minimized. During transport of the ash from point of transfer to the unloading point, the trucks/trolleys should be adequately covered preferably with tarpaulins and on surface spray of water, if possible with further help to reduce fugitive dust. Workers to perform duties relating to ash handling should be

Section-7, EMP Page – 7.10
protected by providing them all necessary protective gears and their use should be made mandatory.
7.5 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING
7.5.1 Ambient Air Quality
Regular monitoring of the ambient air quality needs to be undertaken. Parameters
to be monitored should include measurement of ambient SOx, NOx, & CO
concentrations and PM10.
A continuous ambient air quality monitoring system and program should be
installed at least 2-3 months prior to the start of main construction activities.
It is recommended that the monitoring program should cover as a minimum, the
chemical parameters under the environmental legal requirement.
Meteorological data should be recorded in parallel to air quality monitoring at the
same reference location.
Monitoring parameters and frequency are to be carried out according to the
requirement of Pakistan Environment Protection Act, 1997, under Category-A
“Guidelines for Self-Monitoring and Reporting by Industry (SMART). [Copy
attached as Annexure – 1.2]. Ambient air quality monitoring should be carried out
biannually, at least.
Monitoring methods are presented in Annexure-7.1. Recommended monitoring
equipment and instruments (including costs) presented in Annexure-7.2.
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-7, EMP Page – 7.11
7.5.2 Stack Emissions
During the performance tests and initial operation of the power station, the stack
emissions need to be monitored to ensure that the appropriate limits as set by the
NEQS Pakistan and the standards under “ Pollution Prevention and Abatement
Handbook, WORLD BANK GROUP, Effective July 1998” for Thermal Power:
Guidelines for New Plants are being adhered to.
Typically, this would be achieved by means of a monthly monitoring and
reporting schedule of emission concentrations of NOx, SOx, CO and Particulate
Matter (PM) using portable emission monitors. According to the project
feasibility study continuous online monitoring of PM in stack will be carried and
the attached laboratory will be equipped with necessary equipment for carrying
emissions & air quality monitoring. It is important to ensure proper calibration of
all instruments and adequate record of calibration be maintained. Monitoring
tasks should be contracted to a third party consulting firm as per requirement of
the Pakistan Environmental Protection Act 1997. Arrangement for regular stack
monitoring of NOx, SO2, CO and PM should be in place.
7.5.3 Noise
An ambient noise measurement program should be instituted upon commissioning
of the project. The monitoring program should consider the noise limits during
day-time and night-time at the closest point of public contact.
A noise survey both within operational areas and at the site boundary should be
undertaken at regular intervals during the construction and operation phases and
not less than once every 12 months. Additional monitoring may be required at
various times in response to public complaints (if any), in order to verify that
noise emission limits are being met.
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-7, EMP Page – 7.12
In the initial stages of power plant operation, immediately following
commissioning of the power station, noise monitoring will be undertaken both
within the site, at the site boundaries and at selected receptor locations up to a
distance of approximately 0.5 miles from the proposed site. These monitoring
results will be compared with the baseline noise levels monitored at the same
positions prior to the commencement of plant construction activities.
The monitoring will therefore verify whether the plant is operating to the levels
specified. The monitoring results will also act as a valuable database of baseline
noise levels achieved during normal operation of the plant, for different
meteorological and station conditions. This baseline will help determine the need
for any subsequent design changes or for mitigation of noise levels in the power
station area.
7.5.4 Wastewater/Thermal Discharge
Treated wastewater and cooling water will be monitored as required by applicable
environmental regulations.
Additional training is recommended to educate facility operators of the sensitivity
of the underlying aquifer and the importance the protection of this resource is to
the people of area. Under no circumstances should untreated contaminated waste
water be permitted to be discharged.
Site management will ensure that the potential for oily water discharge via site
drainage is minimized by ensuring that the necessary procedures are in place to
provide adequate maintenance of oil/water interception units into which all plant
discharges are conveyed and installing additional oil/water separators where
necessary. Based upon experience the largest capacity systems as are practical
should be installed.
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-7, EMP Page – 7.13
Good management practices also require the correct labeling of drains, operator
training and monitoring of effluent. Surface water run-off will be collected by the
site drainage system and passed through the oil/water separator prior to discharge
to the drain.
In order to minimize contamination of surface run-off water during the rainy
season, where possible, all water collected on the building roofs will be piped to
the rain water drains which will themselves be connected to an open drainage
channel. Drainage ditches will be installed around the periphery of the site in
order to collect storm water run-off from the surrounding area and channel it
away from the site, thus avoiding any contamination by on site activities.
Quarterly monitoring by a third party should be carried out as a matter of
principle.
7.5.5 Maintenance

7.7 SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
7.7.1 Recommendations and Mitigation Measures
Based on the initial benchmark study the recommendations are made: The management of the Project can capitalize on the positive attitude
of the people of area towards proposed Project by offering them
maximum employment opportunities at the construction stage and
stage of operational phase of the power plant.
Insufficient and inadequate socio-economic structure of the
community of the area also provides ample opportunities to Company
management to win sympathies of local people in their favor, by
introducing meaningful and manageable plan of community
development.
Aggressive and comprehensive plantation plan can also lessen fear of
local people towards environmental issues.
Plant management can explore direct or indirect chances of female
employment opportunities. Such efforts can be fruitful to minimize
negative social impacts.
Sustainable development approach through conservation of natural
resources would be the best strategy to compensate negative socio-
environmental impacts.
Plant management should offer technical training opportunities to the
local youth, if possible, to remove relative sense of deprivation.
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project

Section-7, EMP Page – 7.19
Social responsible attitude and stewardship of company management
towards local people and resources can make project people friendly.
Prior to action of the Project installation a comprehensive awareness
campaign may be launched at masses level to avoid any conflict.
To avoid any political, ethnic and value conflict, the administration of
the plant may win the confidence of local powerful elites, authorities,
leaders and interest groups by adopting informal confidence building
measures.

Moderators Guidelines Interview Schedule– Part I (Baseline Conditions of the Area) Interview Schedule– Part II (Community Awareness and Perceptions)
On- site Public Meetings (PM)/Dialogues (D) were held between July 12 &13,
2010. The participants included Government officials, NGO (NRSP), farmers,
agriculturists, law expert, businessmen, workers/labors, religious people, leaders
of the villagers etc, The participants were fully apprised of the project details.
Free and frank discussions were held among the participants about the various
aspects of the project. Questions by the participants were replied in due details.
Thereafter, written comments of the group leaders of the participants were
recorded. The group leaders represented a large number of the people under their
influence.
Approximate number of the participants of PM/D= 2600 approximately.
8.1 COMMUNITY AWARENESS AND PERCEPTION ABOUT THE PROJECT
During Public Consultations/Disclosure, it was revealed that a large majority of
the people of the study area follow the basic professions like labour, hawkers,
agriculture, shop keeping, menial work related to agriculture implements
manufacturing and their repair. Since Jamal Din Wali is just like a town,
therefore, the people of this settlement possess a blend of the characteristics of a
city as well as of village. A large number of the people from the area also work,
mostly as labour in JDW Sugar Mills.

Section-8, Public Involvement & Disclosure Page – 8.3
The human settlements in the study area like in most of the villages of Pakistan,
are mostly moderately developed, non-progressive and traditionally conservative
communities. Social cohesiveness, solidarity, religious and political harmony are
the major characteristics of the localities.
Community Awareness and Perception about the Project as experienced during
Public Consultations/Disclosures are summarized as below:
By and large, the people of the project area are aware of siting of the project.
The people have clear perception that the installation of the power plant in the
area is beneficial for the community especially and the area in general.
However, some of them have concerns about the environmental aspects of the
project.
Public invasion by the outsiders to take place due to the project has also very
minor concern for the people.
Because of the serious long duration “shut downs of electric power” all over
Pakistan, the people appreciate that the power plant will be a blessing to
reduce the big gap between energy demand and supply.
Study findings depict that the people of the study area perceive overall
positive impacts as a result of installation of the plant. Therefore, their attitude
towards the project installation is quite positive.
As far as the Social Impact Assessment (SIA) is concerned, positive social
impacts are dominant and hardly any negative social impacts were observed
during the study.
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-8, Public Involvement & Disclosure Page – 8.4
The people have high expectations and hope from the plant activity and its
management.
They correlate their positive attitude towards the plant with many direct and
indirect socio-economic opportunities and benefits.
The people believe that installation of the power plant in the area, especially
during construction phase will open up employment opportunities which in
turn follow a chain of indirect socio-economic benefits.
They also perceive accelerated economic activity due to the business
opportunities likely to emerge in the area. Directly or indirectly, some
reasonable number of the local people will get employment and business from
the installation of the plant e.g. shop keepers, traders, suppliers, contractors,
transporters, technicians etc.
People foresee many socio-cultural and psychological positive impacts on
their lives and the community.
They feel that the plant and its related activities will provide a strong base for
social change.
They reckon that influx of the people and technology in the area will improve
the quality of life of the people. It will also improve the level of general
awareness of the people about different aspects of life.
A critical analysis of the findings of the Public Consultations/Disclosures is
presented hereunder:

Some people apprehend that pollution may cause problems to them and the community.
Due to job opportunities for males, there will be improvement in the income status of
their family which in turn will improve living standards including food, clothing and
chances of getting education especially the women.
The Pakistan society follows Islamic values in all walks of life including sociocultural
values where free intermixing of male and female is not permitted and neither liked nor
practiced. Therefore, influx of mainly male workers and camp followers will not change
the gender balance in the areas of construction sites and workers camps. So also there
will not be any danger of sexual exploitation. Consequently, no chance of spread of
alcohol and drug abuse and health risks like HIV/AIDS.
From the above facts one can conclude that many positive economic and social impacts
will appear in the quality of lives of the people of Study Area due to the power plant

The project is required to operate at least 95 % of its operational period in strict
compliance with the required emission standards of Pakistan as provided in the
Pakistan Environmental Protection Act 1997 and the National Environmental
Quality Standards as well as the guidelines laid down by the “Pollution
Prevention and Abatement Hand Book, July 1998, the World Bank”. This ensures
that the project proponent is legally bound to observe all legal requirements to
avoid damaging the environment around the project.
9.1.2. Pakistan Environmental Act and Environmental Management
The Pakistan Environmental Protection Act covers aspects related to the
protection, conservation, rehabilitation and improvement of the environment and
the prevention, control of pollution and promotion of sustainable development.
Being the prime environmental law, Pakistan Environmental Protection Act-1997
establishes complete regulatory and monitoring bodies, policies, rules, regulations
and national environmental quality standards. To ensure enforcement, the act
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-9, Grievance Redress Mechanism Page – 9.3
establishes regulating bodies i.e. Pakistan Environmental Protection Council
(PEPC) and responsible bodies i.e. Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency
(PakEPA) at Federal level and Environment Protection Agencies at Provincial
level. The act extends to the whole of Pakistan including its territorial waters.
Pak-EPA has the power to arrest without warrant any person against whom
reasonable suspicion exists of his having been involved in an offence under the
PEPA-1997, and enter, inspect and search without warrant any premises, vehicle
or vessel. It also provides for seizing any plant, machinery, equipment, vehicle or
substance, record or document. Pak-EPA also provides the power to summon and
enforce the attendance of any person and issuance of Environmental Protection
Order, PO 16 an Environmental Protection Order (EPO) in relation to a person
who is contravening a provision of the PEPA-1997.
9.1.3. Enforcement of PEPA and Liability
The Government of Pakistan is bound to protect the environment in accordance
with its international commitments under various conventions and treaties it has
signed or ratified. The PEPA-1997 translates these commitments into a
compliance programme for the industrial establishments. Non-compliance to
these commitments may results in loss of credibility, popularity and even
financial aid from the international forums.
The Pak-EPA is directly responsible for enforcement of rules and regulation
relating to environmental management/ protection in the areas controlled by the
Federal Government including Islamabad and FATA. While the Provincial EPAs
are responsible for implementation of these Rules and Regulations within the
provinces under the authority as delegated to them by the Director General, Pak-
EPA. However, the Federal EPA is also responsible to ensure implementation of
these rules, regulations and standards at the provincial levels.

to the Tribunal, accompanying a copy of the impugned order, copies of the documents
relied and prescribed fees, shall be sent to the Registrar by the appellant. Generally the
proceedings of the Tribunal shall be open. 9.2. Grievance Redress Mechanism- Informal
9.2.1. Compensation for Environmental Damages
As described under serial 9.1.1 above, since the project is to follow the World
Bank (WB) emission standards, therefore, it is required to operate at least 95 % of
its operational time in compliance with the required emission standards of the
WB. This ensures that the project operation is legally bound to observe all legal
requirements to avoid damaging the environment around the project.
Secondly, as described under serial 9.1.1 under the Pakistan Environmental
Protection Act-(PEPA), 1997, the likely damages to be caused to any sector of the
environment or property or else will be paid to the affected parties.
Thirdly, under the PEPA -1997, the EPA of the concerned province and the
Environment Tribunal can legally prosecute the project proponent for the
damages to occur from the pollution generation from the project.
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-9, Grievance Redress Mechanism Page – 9.8
There is complete legal cover to address issues related to compensation for any
environmental damage arising out of project activity. However, to address any
such issues more expeditiously, the project administration will have a local
committee as an Informal Mechanism.
This informal mechanism will provide convenient, quick and cost effective
decisions for compensation against any environmental damages that occur from
the project activity. This informal mechanism will also build confidence between
the project administration and public and safeguard the interests of both the
project and the public at large.
The project administration, therefore, proposes the following committee at the
local level for amicable and speedy resolution of cases pertaining to any
environmental damages that likely occur from the project activity. The decision of
the committee will be executed in letter and spirit.
9.2.2 Constitution of the Committee:
Chief Executive of the Company or his nominee: Chairman/Chief Head of the Rahim Yar Khan District Government Ex-officio Member Head of the District Local Self Government Ex-officio Member A dignitary of the project area Member Head HSE Department of the project Member Representative of the NGO Member Representative of the aggrieved person Member Environmentalist Member
9.2.3. Time Schedule for Redressing the Grievance
The committee will be under obligation to decide the grievance within four weeks
of the complaint by the aggrieved party.
Compensation as decided by the committee will be paid to the aggrieved party
within two weeks from the date of decision of the committee.
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project

Conclusions
EIA – JDW Power (Pvt.) Ltd., 80 MW Bagasse Based Cogeneration Power Project
ECTECH - Environment Consultants
Section-10, Conclusions Page – 10.2
SECTION – 10 CONCLUSIONS
The project embarks upon installation of 80 MW cogeneration power plant, 2 x 40 MW
condensing and extraction steam turbines with 2 x 210 TPH Boilers fired with bagasse as
a primary fuel and coal as secondary fuel. Cogeneration plant will be installed adjacent
to the JDW Sugar Mills in Qasba Shiren, Jamal Din Wali, District Rahim Yar Khan.
On the basis of this EIA Report it is concluded that:
1- There are sensitive elements/segments of environment around the project
site. There is no industry within about more than 20 km radius of the
project site, nor there is any other source of pollution. Therefore, the
project has the privilege to be sited in the “unpolluted” air shed, which in
turn means that baseline environmental indicators are within national and
international limits and there is less expenditure required to achieve
desired environmental standards even with the introduction of the project.
2- The project has inbuilt efficient, state of the art and reliable mechanisms to
control all type of pollutants like PM10, gaseous emissions and noise not
only in compliance levels well within the NEQS limits of the Pakistan,
but also within those set by the World Bank (Pollution Prevention and
Abatement Handbook, World Bank Group, Effective July 1998-Thermal
Power: Guidelines for New Plants.)
3- The use of bagasse as main fuel for about 180 days of operation of the
power plant will displace fossil-fuel based electricity generation.

Section-10, Conclusions Page – 10.3
4- Effluent will be treated, reused and left over to be discharge in to the near
by water canal after obtaining NOC from concerned authorities.
5- EMP and EMtP, as recommended in this EIA Report, are to be
implemented during construction and operation phases. This will manage
all type of pollutants.
6- Quarterly environmental monitoring by a third party will also certify that
the project will run in accordance with legal requirements under the NEQS
Pakistan and the WB.
7- The project, is required to join Self Monitoring and Reporting by Industry
(SMART), this will further ensure that the plant will operate according to
the required environmental standards namely NEQS-Pakistan.
8- The proposed power plant will improve the economic status of the region
and also contribute significantly to the overall economic growth of the
country, when due to acute shortage of electric power long drawn out load
sheddings are salient feature across the entire country. This state of affairs
is resulting in huge economic loss to the national exchequer in the form of
taxes and duties and drastic decrease in Industrial Productivity resulting in
cut of the foreign exchange earnings, joblessness especially among the
workers and related socio-economic issues.
9- The proposed power plant is designed to meet the national (NEQS) and
the World bank standards for environmental protection. Hence, the
implementation of plant will lead to overall sustainable development in the
study area in specific and at the national level in general.
10- Due to operation of power plant following improvement can also be
noticed in:

Section-10, Conclusions Page – 10.4
· Socio cultural environment of the project area.
· Transport, and communication services.
· Employment due to increased business, trade commerce and
service sector. Resultantly, with the increase in the income of a
common man, there will be a great encouragement among this
sector of the people to get their children educated.
11- Since the project does not involve any land ouster or home ousters and
resettlement or displacement of any community, there will be no impact
due to project on the social environment.
12- No case of indigenous people is involved.
13- The people are of the opinion that the installation of the power plant in the
area is beneficial for the community especially and the area in general.
14- Because of the serious long duration “shut downs of electric power” all
over Pakistan, the people appreciate that the power plant will be a blessing
in disguise to reduce the big gap between energy demand and supply.
15- Study findings depict that the people of the study area perceive overall
positive impacts as a result of installation of the plant. Therefore, their
attitude towards the project installation is quite positive.
16- In light of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), it is concluded
that perceived positive social impacts dominate and there are hardly any
negative social impacts observed during the study.
17- The people have great hopes from the plant activity and its management.

Section-10, Conclusions Page – 10.5
18- The people of the project area are very positive to the installation of the
power plant and they foresee many socio-economic opportunities and
benefits for themselves and their wards.
19- The people believe that installation of the power plant in the area, will
open up employment opportunities which in turn follow a chain of indirect
socio-economic benefits.
20- The people of the project area foresee accelerated economic activity due to
the business opportunities likely to emerge in the area.
21- People foresee many socio-cultural and psychological positive impacts on
their lives and the community.
22- They feel that the plant and its related activities will provide a strong base
for social change.
23- They reckon that influx of people and technology in the area will improve
the quality of life of the people.
24- Some people have concerns about the environmental aspects of the
project.
25- Inflow of outsiders to take place due to the project has also very minor
concern for the people.
26- The Grievance Redress Mechanism both formal and informal has been
included as separate Section 9. According to the mechanism any disputes
arising due to likely environment damage to the public property or else
will facilitate to effectively address the compensation issues at the local
level, especially, under the informal mechanism. This will create goodwill
between the people around the project and for the smooth operation of the
project.

1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL
JDW Power has planned a 80 MW co-generation power project adjacent to JDW
Sugar Mills situated in Qasba Shiren, Jamal Din Wali, district Rahim Yar Khan of
Punjab province. The project area is located about 28° latitude and 69° longitude.
The project area is accessible through metalled road from N-5 and connected by
a 15 km metalled branch road from N-5 to power plant. Branch road is of fair to
good quality for transportation of the heavy equipments for the power plant. The

1.3 SCOPE OF WORK
Scope of work entrusted to FHC was for assessment of ground water conditions
to define the water source for requirement of water during construction and later
for power plant operations details of which are as under:
• Hydro geological study was carried out for the proper design and
Installation of tube- wells within the boundary of the plant.
• Seasonal requirement of water is about 465 m³/Hour (4.6 Cusec) and off
season requirement is about 268 m³/Hour (2.6 Cusec).
• Requirement of water at construction stage is 80 m³/Hour(0.8 Cusec).
• To define the available reservoir conditions against the computed water
requirement during construction and operations, the number and location
of tube wells which will serve as water supply.
• A detailed hydro geological study to be conducted for assessment and
evaluate the aquifer characteristics, production rate and safe yield of well.
• Draw down and radius of influence from the new wells during operations
to prevent well interference between wells and well spacing.
1.4 HYDRO-GEOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE PROJECT SITE
Indus River is the main stream of the area which flows from North to Southwest
direction of the project site. It is the main source of surface water and recharge to
ground water body.
Aerial distance of the Indus river from Power plant site is about 8 Km and in
Northwest of the power plant a small canal named as Bongwa Icha is located. Its
distance from power plant site is about 20 m and Bongwa Icha canal is divided
from Punjnad canal right bank through a small head works which is in Southeast
direction of the project site.

Punjnad canal is at 100 m from power plant site. Another small canal is
distributed through left bank of Punjnad canal going in southwest direction of the
power plant.
Hydro-geological studies were carried out in the project area which revealed that
recent alluvium composed of sandy silt, Silty sandy clay and fine to medium
grained sand are distributed in the upper part of five feet and from five feet to
about 300 feet identified zones by drilling in the vicinity of the project area.
Strata is medium to coarse grained sand with trace mica and little fine sand, age
of these deposits is recent.
Fine to coarse grained sand is present as unconfined aquifer, highly transmissive
and this entire zone is very suitable for high capacity tube wells.
Water table was observed in the newly installed piezometer near to the already
established tube-well-A and ground water table was encountered at 24 feet in the
piezometer. Readings of the piezometer were monitored for seventy two hours
after final installation and during continuous observation time is same for ground
water table.
Regarding pumping test piezometer conditions are defined in the section of
pumping test.
Water table was monitored in the other wells of the area within 5 square
Kilometer and it ranges between 22 feet to 30 feet, but as per previous studies
reference, ground water table of the area was at 8 to 12 feet but now it has gone
down to 22 feet to 30 feet in depth due to continuous pumping from last many
years in the surrounding of the Jamal Din Wali sugar mills area.
Ground water qualities are fresh and sweat along the Indus River areas due to
rapid ground water recharge. Testing results of water of already established wells
are attached as Annexure - B.
Indus River location from Jamal Din Wali sugar mills is shown in Figure - 1.2 and
it is the main recharge source of an enormous unconfined aquifer of the area with
added advantage of the project adjacent canals as described above.

1.5 PLANNING FOR SITE TESTING
For monitoring of the already established well nearby the power plant site, one
number of piezometer was installed up to the depth of 100 feet keeping in view
the ground water conditions in the entire zone. Previous studies references were
made useful to evaluate the drawdown conditions with recovery of the water table
and a design of tube wells is established in the light of pumping test
drawdown/recovery potential of the aquifer with production rate/safe yield, for the
requirement of water during construction and later for operations.
Six numbers of tube-wells are designed to keep in view the seasonal and off
seasonal requirements of water, details and designs of the wells are defined in
the next sections.

conditions of the pumping test, for all of the above field testing and observations.
Following activities were monitored during the site visit:
• Site geology
• Hydrology
• Site history
• Ground water quality
• Anticipated contaminants of concern.
The following site characterization data elements were utilized to form a
conceptual model of the site:
• Site geology and hydrology;
• Potential
As defined above in the section of Hydro-geological study, area geology of
Recent age consisting Silty sandy Clay, Silty sand up to upper surface of
maximum 5 feet and from 5 feet to onward up to defined depth is 300 feet in this
zone drilled by WAPDA is BW-2 as shown in Figure - 1.3 and as per previous
studies aquifer in this zone has lot of potential with reference to the river Indus
and local canal net work of well supporting surface hydrology.

Regarding site history of the ground water table, this study reveals that, ground
water table was at shallower depth in past as described above but with
establishment of present network of the tube wells in the vicinity of the project
area, ground water table is lowered up to the depth of 22 to 30 feet and with
increased pumping of water it may be lowered down further but recharge
phenomenon indicates that, aquifer conditions are very favorable. As per our
established tube-wells design with depth and well-interference between the wells.
Well spacing is also generated by the present scope of field studies but
limitations are there due to the pumping test at the established well nearby the
power plant site.
Depth criteria of the water wells cannot be finalized due to the huge unconfined
aquifer conditions but deeper drilling cannot guarantee usable and safe water.
Salinity may be encountered at any point as we go deeper because water is such
an excellent solvent, it can contain lots of dissolved chemicals. And since
groundwater moves through subsurface soil, it has a lot of opportunity to dissolve
substances as it moves. For that reason, groundwater will often have more
dissolved substances than surface water.
Even though the ground is an excellent mechanism for filtering out particulate
matter, such as leaves, soil, and bugs, dissolved chemicals and gases can still
occur in large enough concentrations in groundwater to cause problems.
Underground water can get contaminated from industrial, domestic, and
agricultural chemicals from the surface. This includes chemicals such as
pesticides and herbicides. The most common water-quality problem in rural water
supplies is bacterial contamination from septic tanks, which are often used in
rural areas that don't have a sewage-treatment system. Effluent (overflow and
leakage) from a septic tank can percolate (seep) down to the water table and
maybe into a homeowner's own well. Just as with urban water supplies,
chlorination may be necessary to kill the dangerous bacteria.
Naturally occurring contaminants are present in the subsurface strata. As
groundwater flows through sediments, metals such as iron and manganese are
dissolved and may later be found in high concentrations in the water. Industrial
discharges, urban activities, agriculture, ground-water pumpage, and disposal of
waste all can affect ground-water quality. Contaminants from leaking fuel tanks or
fuel or toxic chemical spills may enter the groundwater and contaminate the
aquifer. The physical properties of an aquifer, such as thickness, type of soil or
sediment type, and location, play a large part in determining whether
contaminants from the land surface will reach the groundwater.
9
JDW Power Plant Hydro-Geological Study
FHC Consulting Engineers
The risk of contamination is greater for unconfined (water-table) aquifers than for
confined aquifers because they usually are nearer to land surface and lack an
overlying confining layer to impede the movement of contaminants. Because
groundwater moves slowly in the subsurface and many contaminants sorbs to the
sediments, restoration of a contaminated aquifer is difficult and may require
years, decades, centuries, or even millennia. Testing results of the already
established wells showing values within permissible limits of drinking water and
during present study were found suitable for construction and operations of the
power plant.
To locate groundwater accurately and to determine the depth, quantity, and
quality of the water, several techniques were used, and a target area was
thoroughly tested and studied to identify hydrologic and geologic features.
Soils are the most valuable clues of all. As a first step in locating favorable
conditions for ground-water development, subsurface soil conditions were studied
and described by the already carried out Investigations provided by JDW and
most recent data was the drilling of hole for piezometer up to the depth of 100
feet. In the nearby vicinity of the site, many of the wells are in working condition
and were established since eighteen years and are still working well with full
capacity.
1.6 DESIGN OF THE TUBE WELLS FOR JDW POWER PLANT.
As described above in Hydro-geological studies, massive aquifer is lying in entire
zone of the project site. During the pumping test and drawdown conditions in
piezometer as well as in the other established wells in the vicinity of the project
site revealed that within 24 hours of the development of established tube well-A,
1.9 feet draw down was observed in the newly installed piezometer in first 15
minutes of the development of I cusec discharge and later up to 24 hours
development, the same level of drawdown was maintained in the piezometer.
In the same time it was observed that the water level in 2nd established well-B
which is at distance of about more than 300 m from the well-A and there was no
any draw down by the development of well-A.
During the development of well-A, discharge of water was observed minutely and
it remained constant throughout the development period.
After monitoring of 24 hours, development was stopped and immediately after 15
minutes, recovery was observed in the piezometer and it came to the ground
water table within one hour and later very next day water table was monitored
which was found to be the same as after recovery period of drawdown.

JDW Power Plant Hydro-Geological Study

Before going to discuss ground water yield, following parameters are important to
be described for better understanding of the ground water conditions in the
project site.
The possibility of occurrence of ground water mainly depends upon two
geological factors:
• Porosity
• Permeability
1.6.1 Porosity
The porosity of the soils, which is major geological criteria for occurrence of
ground water, is a quantitative measurement of the voids in the soils. It is
generally defined as the percentage of the voids present in a given volume of
soils or aggregates; mathematically it can be expressed as the total volume of
voids in the aggregates to the total volume of the aggregates in percentage.
Porosity, in fact depends upon the shape, packing and degree of sorting of the
component grains in a given material. Uniform and well sorted grains will give
higher porosity, where as heterogeneous grains with irregular arrangement will
give lower porosity values.
The porosity range can be from 1 % to 50 % but generally it does not increase
more than 40 %.
As per reference study sands of this zone has the porosity of about 35 % which
indicates medium to higher range and ultimately, percentage of containing water
in entire zone soils is at higher level and it is reflecting good aquifer conditions for
the project area.
1.6.2 Permeability
As described above ground water can get stored in the underground soils, only if
they are sufficiently porous. In other words water gets stored in the pores of the
soils. But the porosity does not ensure the maximum storage of ground water and
in fact the water can enter in to the Aquifer strata, if it is reasonably permeable
and it is found that in entire zone of the project site both of the factors are suitable
for massive storage and recharging of aquifer.
Permeability is therefore, defined as the ability of the strata to transmit or pass
water through itself. Transmissibility is another term which represents the same
meanings but mathematically it is different from permeability. Transmissibility
depends upon the ratio of depth to width factor as 1. So as per such equation and
nature of the material of the zone, transmissibility of the entire zone of the project
site is also higher and supporting the factor of safe yield and smooth production
rate of the water in the tube wells.
11
JDW Power Plant Hydro-Geological Study
FHC Consulting Engineers
By above mentioned factors of ground water the pumping test results are
showing completely filled and saturated conditions of the safe yield.
Because drawdown conditions after first 15 minutes were maintained the
same for next 24 hours and by this observation, the volume of ground water
which we obtained in the aquifer to the volume of water which was drained
during the pumping test is almost same during the development period of
24 hours so specific yield is about 100 %, which is indicating the best
available aquifer in the entire zone of the project site.
The radius of influence on above mentioned factors and observations
recorded from the adjacent wells and newly installed piezometer is showing
that there is no abnormal influence on the other established wells.
Based upon above recorded factors and field testing following six numbers of
new wells are recommended in entire project site accordingly.
Tube Well No. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6
Depth of the Tube- Well 200 feet
Diameter of Tube-Well 6 Inches
Pump Capacity 1 Cusec

1.7 CONCLUSIONS
From field study following conclusions have been made;
• The problem of clogging can be reduced if the size of the openings is
increased, so theoretically the slot size should be as wide as possible,
generally its size varies from 0.2 mm to 5 mm.
• Slot opening for gravel packed wells is designed within 68 % of the D10
size of the gravel pack.
• For gravel pack designing D50 of gravel and D50 of Aquifer are required.
This is generally called PA ratio and it should be between 12 and 15.5.
• Gravel pouring requires maximum field control.
• Pumping test results and recovery phenomenon of Aquifer reflects good
production rate and safe yield.
• Six number of Tube wells with one Cusec capacity each will fulfill the
water requirement at construction and later during the operations of power
plant.
1.8 RECOMMENDATIONS
Following recommendations are proposed for the project;
• Seasonal requirement of water for power plant site is 465 m³/hr (4.6
Cusec) and off season requirement of water is 268 m³/hr (2.6 Cusec).By
providing six numbers of tube-wells as per above mentioned specification,
seasonal requirement can be fulfilled with proper production rate and with
safe yield.
• Off season requirements will be achieved with a lot of comfort and any
appropriate approach of running wells can be adopted for the fulfillment of
the required quantity of water.
• Six numbers of Tube-Wells are recommended with depth of 200 feet of six
inch dia by establishing 1 Cusec pump capacity.
• A well screen is recommended which is always most important part of a
tube well and it serves for the entry of the water into the well. And for such
study areas normally well screen should be 1/3rd of the total depth of the
well, but generally it can be increased up to the half of total length.
14
JDW Power Plant Hydro-Geological Study
FHC Consulting Engineers
• Design of the screen is largely influenced by the characteristics of the
water bearing formations, but present study has some limitations
regarding unavailability of dry sieve analysis of aquifer samples. Results
will help to determine the specifications of the design of the well screen as
well to design the gravel pack. Following characteristics of the Aquifer
should be defined before installation of the Tube-Wells.
a) Effective size (D10 & D60)
b) Uniformity Coefficient (Cu)
c) D50 size (Mean particle size of Aquifer)
• Before installation of the Tube-wells, about 200 feet deep boring is
required and recommended for complete profile of aquifer soil up to the
final depth.
• For designing of the size of slot openings of a screen, sieve analysis is
again required. It also depends upon testing results of Aquifer materials
because oversized slots will pump finer materials and it will be difficult to
obtain clear water and undersized slots provide more resistance to the
flow of ground water into the well, .
• Aquifer materials should have uniformity coefficient (Cu) [ 2.0. For uniform
conditions and for graded aquifer it should be ∃ 2. Higher value must be
avoided as it may generate segregation.
• On slotted part of the screen, cotton cloth should be wrapped before
installation of the screen to avoid fines into the slots of well screen.
• In the study area upper part of the screen will be blind pipe as per
requirement of design depth.
• Bottom part of well pipe of required diameter should be connected with
Bail Plug to avoid base contamination of the aquifer materials.
• Massive Aquifer may not create any interference between wells but
recommended spacing between the wells should not be less than 100
meters for taking full capacity in all seasons as per required quantity of
water.
• Before installation of the wells, drilling contractor should be evaluated as
per required scope of work keeping in view design of the tube wells.
15
JDW Power Plant Hydro-Geological Study
FHC Consulting Engineers
• Working methodologies regarding drilling, design of screen and gravel/fine
aggregate packing with all arrangements of tools and equipments, will be
submitted by the contractor for all operations of the installation of Tube-
Wells.
• As mentioned above in section 1.3, it is recommended that foundation of
the tube wells should be with in specified design limits i.e. maximum
drilling depth ought not be more than 250 feet as we go deeper by
continuous suction by the passage of time there after increased chances
of development of salinity depression cone that might affect the present
quality of water.

Annexure 7.4 Social Responsibility Programs
The unique socio-economic programs created by JDW Sugar Mills to raise the income and standard of living of local communities gained strength in 2010. Programs that were originally initiated as pilot projects now play a key role in sustaining economic development of the immediate agricultural region. The programs utilize strong social and cultural bonds to harness the true potential of communities living in the rural areas. JDW Sugar Mill’s social responsibility programs take a holistic approach to socio-economic problems and therefore deal with a much wider range of issues and communal groups than traditional single-focus programs. Programs 1. Sugarcane Productivity Enhancement Project (SPEP) This program is a truly multi-stakeholder project as it involves partnership between farming communities, the private sector (JDW Sugar Mills Ltd.) and a non-profit organization (National Rural Support Programme). SPEP has been designed to enhance small farm (<20 acres) profitability through agriculture & livestock extension services and provision of credit without collateral. The community organizations (COs) receive SPEP support from a professional team consisting of a social organizer, an agricultural extension officer, and a veterinary officer. With continued support from JDW Sugar Mills, NRSP expanded its operation in 44 union councils. The number of active COs grew in 2010 to 1,387 with a membership of 15,257 farmers. The main features of the SPEP include:
• Social mobilization and organization of the rural poor into Community Organizations (COs)
• Provision of agricultural extension services; agricultural graduates
employed by JDW Sugar Mills provide services through direct advice in CO meetings, published literature and farm visits.
• Credit facility from JDW Sugar Mills and NRSP for purchase of
seed and other agricultural inputs on guarantee of the CO • Small farmers have access to farm machinery provided by JDW
Sugar Mills on credit at subsidized rates
NRSP has distributed Rs. 154.635 million to raise the productivity & income of the farming communities. 2. Livestock Development Program (LDP) SPEP management realizes that any effort in livestock productivity enhancement would directly benefit the poor in generating sustainable incomes. Under this program, DVMs and Veterinary Assistants provide services such as vaccinations, treatment of sick animals, advice on animal fattening, advice on enhancement of milk production and artificial insemination for breed improvement. The approach used in this project has been replicated in the “Prime Minister’s Special Initiative for Livestock” by the federal departments for national implementation under various RSPs. At present seven Veterinary Clinics under this project are working in the Rahim Yar Khan region. 3. Women’s Development Program (WDP) The Women’s Development Program was initiated in the rural areas of SPEP to develop small business skills. Women in these rural areas can now benefit from the various programs run by NRSP. The project, which has so far organized 678 COs and encouraged membership of 5,648 women, has enabled women to access credit (Rs 140.13 million) and small business training facilities. Through these programs, women have been able to provide significantly improved income support to their households. 4. Support to Vocational Training Institutes JDW Sugar Mills has provided Rs 6.25 million for the establishment of vocational training Institutes in Jamal Din Wali, Roshan Bhait and Rajan Pur Kalan.
Moreover, an exemplary initiative was taken by JDW Sugar Mills to arrange a special Dress Making Course in Japan (12 Days) for two shining students Asia and Saima. All the expenses have been funded by JDW Sugar Mills.

These institutes are currently providing training in trades that include dress making, embroidery, repair and maintenance of electrical home appliances, tractor maintenance and computer operation. The graduates now have an opportunity to generate income through self-employment in the market. 5. Education 1. Quality Education for All (QEFA) in Rasool Pur Union Council In 2002-03, the District Government of Rahim Yar Khan took a bold initiative in the education sector and handed over the management of all the primary schools of Rasool Pur Union Council to NRSP. JDW Sugar Mills fully supported this initiative and provided operational, financial and logistic support to the project. The local community was mobilized & fully involved in the management of schools. The following additional tasks
were given to the community:
• Raising funds for provision of missing facilities • Reducing the drop-out rate and increasing enrollment • Reducing teacher’s absenteeism.
The project has been a resounding success, resulting in efficient management of schools, increase in the student enrolment, reduction in the drop-out ratio, provision of basic facilities, and involvement of local communities in monitoring the performance of school administration. Since this initiative commenced, a total of Rs 51.517 million has been provided by JDW Sugar Mills for the upgrade of schools. The officers of the World Bank and Government of the Punjab visited these schools and appreciated the “New School Management Approach” adopted in Rasool Pur Union Council. The Punjab Education Sector Reforms Project (PESRP) launched in 2005-06 has been modeled on the lessons learnt from this project. Since inception, the JDW funded education programme has expanded from 37 boys and girls schools to 193 schools. With strong collaboration with the NRSP, the program is aimed at addressing the quality of education in rural areas of district Rahim Yar Khan. These schools are now completely functional after being upgraded with funding support of Rs 40 million from JDW Sugar Mills. The upgrades included employment of 746 teachers, new classrooms, boundary walls, furniture for students and teachers, toilets, sheds, water supplies, electricity & electrification, IT labs, supports material, walking bridge and whitewash.

A total of 80 schools have been upgraded to date. The company transferred 16 acres of land valued at Rs 46 million to the provincial Government for the establishment of Degree Colleges apart from spending Rs. 5 million to establish a Community Model Primary School.
6. Helping Students for Education Continuity
With a strong focus on promoting education, JDW Sugar Mills has also resolved to provide financial support to students who want to continue their studies after passing their intermediate qualification. Currently 15 boys and one girl of Jamal Din Wali city have benefited from support of Rs. 3.14 million in continuing their education in graduate and post graduate classes.
8. Healthcare and creating a healthy environment
Playgrounds
In order to create a healthy environment in the heavily populated rural area of Basti Shah Pur Union Council in Jamal Din Wali, JDW Sugar Mills has converted agricultural land valued at Rs 39.23 million into playgrounds for boys and girls.
Water Filtration Plants
JDW Sugar Mills has established two water filtration plants in the brackish water zones of Lakar Wali and Awami Colony in Sadiqabad. Both plants are operated and maintained by JDW staff. Periodical water tests are also arranged to maintain the quality of water. The yearly expenditure is Rs 200,000.
Lodhran Pilot Project (LPP)
In order to provide a healthy environment, JDW Sugar Mills has provided Rs 4.1 million to the LPP to rehabilitate the sewerage system of Rajan Pur Kalan and Kot Karam Khan. Public involvement is encouraged to ensure the system is maintained on a daily basis.
Biogas Plants
Currently the world is experiencing a growing fuel crisis with developing countries most severely affected. Understanding the need to develop a cheap, renewable and sustainable energy source, NRSP with financial support from JDW Sugar Mills, has introduced an innovative technology to produce biogas fuel for households. The biogas system is likely to replace the currently unaffordable kerosene oil and cylinder gas option as cooking fuel in the poor rural households. It is also expected that the ‘eco-friendly’ biogas system will, in time, replace the traditional fire-wood fuel systems that are damaging to people’s health and the environment.

9. Free Eye Camps NRSP and JDW Sugar Mills organized eleven free eye camps. JDW Sugar Mills enthusiastically participated in this program by providing both financial and logistical support. These successful eye camps, which focus on providing integrated eye care, have become an ongoing initiative for the poor rural community.
Cataract surgery was initially conducted in Al-Shifa Eye Trust, Sukkur, however, over time the surgery was facilitated in local premises. Consequently, in the last four camps, cataract surgeries were successfully operated at JDW Sugar Mills and it is expected that this practice will continue in the future.
