Details of the micro-meteorological data will be collected with respect to hourly wind

speed & wind direction, humidity, temperature, cloud cover, rainfall data etc. The

corresponding frequency distribution of wind behavior with wind rose diagram will be

prepared. This will form the meteorological data input to Air Quality Prediction Model.

Meteorological data will be collected from nearby meteorological station for comparison

and in case of controversy this secondary data will be accepted.

Surface water sampling as per protocol will be done from six different locations in core

zone and buffer zone and analysis will be done as per the parameters in IS 10500.

Similarly the ground water sampling and analysis will be done at six different locations in

the core zone and buffer zone.

sampling locations in core zone and buffer zone.

The soil testing at six different locations of core zone and buffer zone will be carried out.

All the procedure of collection of sample, frequency of collection, analysis procedure etc

shall be done as per CPCB norms.

The existing ground level concentration of suspended particulate Matter PM10,

Respiratory Particulate Matter PM2.5, Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) and

Carbon Monoxide (CO) will be analyzed during the study period at eight different

locations in the core zone and buffer zone including at least one in the down wind

direction. The air sampling location and others will be chosen studying the wind rose and

using standard procedures.

Details of ecological survey shall be taken up with respect to flora and fauna including

avifauna and aquatic fauna with an emphasis on endangered species in the core zone as

well as in the buffer zone.

All the units of expansion project will be set up on the vacant space of existing25.4 Ac

land of running plan.

Raw material for the expansion will be about 0.37 MTPA Sponge Iron 0.045 MTPA Pig

iron and about 0.020 MTPA scrap, which will be mostly generated from plant.

Fresh water requirement for the expansion project is estimated to be 1250m3/day,

which is within 1800m3/day as has been permitted for the existing EC with conservative

measure. Contaminated used water of plant will be settled, cleaned and reused in the

plant and there will be zero waste water discharge to outside project boundary. More

over rain water will be harvested and used in process, which will help in reducing fresh

water intake from river.

Power requirement after expansion will be about 35MW, which will be drawn from

Santaldih/ DVC.
