It is submitted that the report/ recommendations of RO given in the application were perused and the following discrepancies were noted: # The project proponent has submitted application for CTE and mentioned its category as Orange in the application form with category code as 2097-Infrastructure development projects not covered under EIA notification. The RO has processed the application based on the same category and calculated the adequacy of fees accordingly. #Whereas, as per the revised categorization of industrial and non-industrial sections issued by CPCB, the project may be covered under Orange Category with Cat. Code. 10.1 i.e. Building construction project ≥ 20,000 sq. m. built-up area. Since, based on the total saleable area of all components of the project and calculating the max. achievable FAR of the project, the built-up area is sure to exceed 20,000 sqm. The project proponent is required to update the same. # It is worth to brought out that the RO has mentioned regarding applicability of EIA notification dated 14.09.2006 to the project, in its agenda note as under: "The project proponent has submitted a plan of proposed built up area in the project from Senior Town Planner, in which total built up area of the project is below 1,50,000 sqm.
As such, the project proponent is not covered under the EIA notification dated 14.09.2006 under category 8(b). Further, it is submitted that as this is a area development project, hence, category 8 (a) is applicable only and project is exempted under the same (being area less than 50 ha or built up area below 1,50,000 sqm)." However, the RO has not commented on the built-up area of the independent floors proposed in the project, particularly whether these shall be constructed by the promoter itself and whether the cumulative built-up area shall exceed 20,000 sq. m. In case the built-up area exceeds 20,000 sq. m., Category-8(a) of the EIA Notification dated 14.09.2006 shall become applicable.
# The RO has reported that the excess treated wastewater shall be disposed of through plantation as per Karnal Technology within 3.5 acres of lease land and 1.83 acres of green area within the project premises, with a loading rate of 103.7 KL/day/acre, which is adequate in principle.
However, it needs to be clarified whether the project proponent has submitted an undertaking/affidavit confirming that the green area proposed for parks shall be converted into plantation land for this purpose, and that in the event of any dispute/objection from allottees or plot owners, the project proponent shall arrange alternative land for disposal at its own risk and cost.
In view of the above discrepancies, and since the application has been processed under an incorrect category, it is proposed that, if approved, the application may be returned to the RO with directions to:
a. Get the category of the project corrected to the appropriate category code through the Computer Section; and
b. Submit clarifications on the observations mentioned above. |
