Environmental
Impact Assessment is done based on the physio-chemical environment like land,
hydrography and water quality, air quality, meterological, socioeconomic
environment, checklists and graded matrix methods issued to identification of
potential impact and evaluation of their consequences to the possible extent. The
EIA suggests that the project under study involves potential environmental
impacts to which further careful attention must be given in construction,
operation and maintenance of the project in order to minimize and offset the
adverse effects. The negative impacts are not severe and the potential adverse
impacts if addressed properly could be minimized without much effort, though
they would require careful attention. The
location of the cement plant is environmentally acceptable. However, adequate
and effective pollution prevention, abatement and control measure, proper and
careful operations and maintenance, regular and effective environmental
monitoring with adequate staff and budgetary provision, periodic reporting to
DOE, creation of an environmental cell, ensuring preventive management
practices, adoption of the Disaster management Plan should be
ensured. |
