Discussed with CEE (B) in presence of SEE (ZO-2, PTA), it emerged that as per notification dated 07.06.2024 issued by MoEF&CC, processes involving melting of non-toxic metals is covered under the purview of EIA notification dated 14.09.2006 subject to the following conditions:
a) Running on Solid or liquid fuel- if the production capacity is more than 30,000 TPA
b) Running on Gaseous Fuel- if the production capacity is more than 60,000 TPA.
In present case, the production capacity is 50 TPD i.e. considering 350 working days, it becomes 17,500 TPA which is less than 30,000 TPA as it has proposed to run on PNG, hence, the unit is not required to obtain environmental clearance.
The industry has provided reverberatory furnace of capacity 2.0 TPH running on PNG.
Further, as per HWM Rules, 2016, the copper scrap is not hazardous waste as it is not covered under schedule I of the said Rules. Further, the industry will be purchasing copper scrap from local market / traders which have obtained one time authorization from the Board.
