Management Committee of women ITI Korba is also submitted.
Justification for not selecting the monitoring station beyond 5 km : The position
of all the air sampling stations were kept within the periphery of 6 kms with the
farthest at 5 kms southwards from the core zone because the ground level
concentrations (GLC) of all the air pollutants were found to be maximum at a
distance of 3.3.5km to get the best representation and in consistent with the
spread excepted from a 220 meter high chimney. However as required by
SEAC Chhattisgarh project proponent has submitted GLC values study for 7
days (from 31/03/09 to 06/04/09) at 6 locations mainly at a distance of 9-10
kms in all directions (along with the map showing the locations of sampling
stations). The values of GLC of new stations are lower then the values of initial
stations with RPM reducing from 59.0 to 53.83 µg/m3, SPM from 146.5 to 133.0
µg/m3, Sox from 8.48 to 6.55 µg/m3 and Nox from 12.23 to 9.41 µg/m3.
Copy of Coal linkage recommendation letter issued by under secretary, the
Govt. of India, Ministry of Power is submitted.
Action plan for utilization of fly ash as per Ministry of Environment & Forest,
Government of India, New Delhi Notification : MCCPL has submitted the

in the plant for brick making, fly ash aggregate making supply to nearby cement
industries and coal mine filling if permitted in future. No fly ash will be used for
land and road filling.
Authentic information regarding no historical importance monument within 10
km radius : MCCPL has submitted the undertaking that there are no
monuments, temples and structures of historical importance within 10 km
radius of the proposed site. Toposheet map is also enclosed indicating that
Mahadev Temple Pali (ASI monument) is beyond 10 km radius.
The proposed project does not fulfill the criteria as mentioned in general
