Sir, as per Completion certificate issued by the Punjab State Council for Science & Technology vide letter no PSCST/TFD/393 dated 14.09.2023 the installed induction furnace is of 8 TPH capacity and it seems that prodcution capacity will be 8 x 16 heat x 300 days = 38400 Ton/year which cover under Environmental Clearance and Regional Office recommended to consider consent with condition that the industry shall obtain the Environmental Clearance in time bound manner.
RO has submitted the reply of above as under:-
The industry has applied for consents of the Board for processing of Steel Scrap/Sponge Iron & Ferro Alloys @ 92 MT/Day with the following calculations:- 07 Ton Per Heat * 13.15 Heat Per Day = 92.050 TPD Say 92 TPD (92 MT/Day x 310 Working Day (as submitted in its reply)= Total production=28520 MT/Annum.
RO has calculated the production by assuming the capacity of induction furnace as 7 TPH capacity, whereas, as per Completion certificate issued by the Punjab State Council for Science & Technology vide letter no PSCST/TFD/393 dated 14.09.2023, the installed induction furnace is of 8 TPH capacity. So, it seems that the industry is covered under EIA notification for Environmental Clearance.
In view of the above, it is recommended that consent application may be returned to industry with request that the industry shall obtain Environmental Clearance as required under EIA Notification, 2006 before commissioning of induction furnace of 8 TPH capacity, please.
