I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Textile industry is one of the traditionally well-developed industries in Tamil Nadu. Tamil Nadu has a strong production base and accounts for about one third of textiles production in the country. Handloom, Power loom, Spinning, Processing, Garment and Hosiery are the various sectors of the Textile Industry in Tamil Nadu. The textile manufacturing process is characterized by the high consumption of resources like water, fuel and a variety of chemicals in a long process sequence that generates significant amount of wastewater streams. In recent times, several processing techniques with state of the art machineries were found application towards quality and optimal use of critical resources like chemicals and water. The requirement of water for processing cotton/silk, yarn or cloth have brought drastically down with self regulating systems in automated processing machines with environmentally compatible dyestuff and auxiliary chemicals. Nevertheless, the non availability of water, cost of low salt dyes and effluent management are still inhibitory to the development of textile processing industries. The need for recycle or reuse of the effluent after suitable treatment is an issue of centralized facilities for effluent treatment for reclamation of water and leaving the least to the discharge streams with the compatible contaminants to the receiving attribute like salty rejects of Reserve Osmosis (RO) plant into sea. The textile processing mills in the western Tamilnadu were muddled with legal fighting for safe disposal of treated wastewater or else its complete reuse or recycle in the processing activities. The reclamation of water is not only technical challenge and an issue of low process efficiency. A substantial wastage of resources is resultant of poor processing techniques and inadequate treatment of effluent streams will result in severe damage to the environment. It has been demonstrated worldwide that marine discharge is the only sustainable solution for the disposal of the treated textile effluents. Accordingly, Environmental regulation is permitted industries to set-up marine disposal systems for their treated effluent which will have ultimately environmentally compatible contaminants like only salt, primarily Sodium Chloride in the final reject of Reverse Osmosis plant into sea.




Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamilnadu Limited (SIPCOT) was established in the year 1971 specifically for the growth of industries in Tamilnadu. The objective of SIPCOT is to establish, develop, maintain and manage industrial complexes, parks and growth centres at various places across the State of Tamil Nadu.

SIPCOT has so far developed 21 Industrial Complexes in 12 districts and Seven Sector Specific Special Economic Zones (SEZs) across Tamil Nadu. SIPCOT is also a Nodal Agency for Government of Tamil Nadu to sanction / disbursement of Structured Package of Financial Assistance to large industrial units.

SIPCOT's role in assisting the industrialization in the State is not only quantitative but also qualitative. Instead of just accelerating the pace of industrial growth in already developed and densely populated areas, SIPCOT strives to ensure that disbursal of financial incentives result in growth of industries in backward and hitherto under developed areas. Primarily, the western Tamilnadu where historically the textile process industries are in operation are finding their sustenance due to the difficulty in getting good source of water and safe disposal attribute for treated effluent as sea is available at more than 400 Km. It is in this backdrop that requires environmentally compatible land mass for the development of textile processing industries, SIPCOT proposes to set up an Industrial Park exclusively for Textile Processing Units to have a maximum of 300 MT of yarn/cotton or cloth per day along with common water supply system through Desalination plant, Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) to treat the effluent from member industries and Marine disposal facility for treated effluent & RO reject. After a rigorous site analysis for three locations, a site at Ramanathapuram district is proposed. The three alternative locations which were studied and evaluated were shown in the Fig.1. The alternative Site Matrix for three locations is presented in Table.1. Based on the evaluation studies, SIPCOT proposes a site near A.Manakudi Village, Thiruvadanai Taluk, Ramanathapuram District for the proposed project. The Key Map showing the location and approach for the proposed project location is presented in Fig.2.

SIPCOT has obtained Enter upon permission for 224.65 acres (90.912 ha) of land at SF.No.211/2, A.Manakudi, Ramanathapuram district for the establishment of the Park, from the Government of Tamilnadu. The total water requirement for the proposed processing capacity is estimated at 20 MLD including Domestic consumption. It is envisaged that 50% of the water would be met from recycled water from CETP and the balance 50% will be virgin water through Desalination Plant. The Desalination plant will draw water and process it to provide a maximum of 10MLD of product water with TDS not more than 500 ppm. The RO reject as brine will be disposed back in to Sea through Marine Disposal System. All member industries will send their effluent through collection and transfer system to the Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP). The 20 MLD of combined waste streams will be treated in the CETP. The CETP is conceptually based on a Physico-Chemical process to remove Color and Suspended Solids. The treated effluent will have objectionable concentration of TDS for a maximum of 5000 ppm. This will be treated further through a train of Micron Filtration (MF), Ultra Filtration (UF) and Sea Water membrane based Reverse Osmosis (RO) to reclaim water for a maximum of 50%. Hence, the CETP will be operated to generate product water which will have a maximum TDS of 500 ppm. This product water will be sent back through exclusive RO Product waterline for reuse. The reject from CETP which will have objectionable TDS, varying from 15,000 to 20,000 ppm will be discharged in to sea. An exclusive Marine Disposal System for disposing the Brine ( Reject) from Desalination Plant (a maximum of 12 MLD with a maximum TDS of 20,000 ppm) and reject of RO from CETP ( a maximum of 14 MLD with a maximum TDS of 20,000 ppm) will be checked and controlled to have only TDS for a maximum of 20,000ppm. This will be dispersed through a common dispersion system to ensure dilution of TDS to ambient level of mixing location and as such there is no other pollutant or contaminant allowed to dispose through the system. The Common Marine disposal system will have dispersion systems to discharge the high TDS RO Rejects for a maximum of 20MLD into sea. The standard power requirement for a 10 Ton unit is 500 KVA. The total connected load requirement for the proposed 300 Ton capacity is estimated at 15MW.




The member industries will be mandated to have Emission cleaning systems in all their Stacks. Necessary management systems will be provided to ensure safe disposal of their hazardous and non-hazardous solid wastes. The southern boundary that abets a Estuary will have buffer zone and SIPCOT is committed to have specific plantations, as will be recommended by Department of Forests. SIPCOT will have green curtain in the peripheral areas and along the roadside. SIPCOT will adhere to the standards for developing green belt.

II. INTRODUCTION

SIPCOT proposes to set up an Industrial Park exclusively for Textile Processing Units along with common water supply system through Desalination plant (10 MLD) and Common Effluent Treatment Plant (20 MLD) with Marine disposal facility (20 MLD) for RO rejects at A.Manakudi Village, Thiruvadanai Taluk, Ramanathapuram District.

The Project Impact area of 10Km radius which is proposed Impact studies is presented, based on Survey of India Map, in Fig 3.

The proposed Integrated Textile Industrial Park (ITIP) is for processing of Yarn, Woven fabric and Knitted fabric. SIPCOT will take a review on the processes and plant &machineries of the member industries while allocating the lands for resource optimization and waste reduction at the source.

SIPCOT is committed to promote this industry as an Integrated Infrastructures for the promotion of textile processing industries with environmental systems like water treatment plant, wastewater treatment plant and Marine disposal systems to ensure sustainable and safe operation of the proposed park.

The coastlines of the location on two sides of the project location will have buffer zones to protect the marine eco systems with natural species of trees and plantations. SIPCOT will envisage a exclusive Marine Ecology Management plan to have the interface of marine and the proposed park activities will not confront to each other.

SIPCOT intends to promote this park with state of the art technologies for textile wet processing in the member units with all supporting environmental systems so that the proposed IP will become very unique and first of its kind and SIPCOT envision to acclaim the International Accreditations ISO 9000 (Quality Standards) and ISO 14000 (Environmental Standards) on its immediate commissioning.

2.1 PROJECT

The proposed textile processing park is named as Integrated Textile Industrial Park (ITIP).

SIPCOT has obtained Enter upon permission for 224.65 acres (90.912 ha) of land at SF.No.211/2, A.Manakudi, Ramanathapuram district for the establishment of the Park. A copy of the Administration sanction is attached as Enclosure-I.

The Google imagery of 10Km radius around the project location is presented in Fig 4.

The location, being Coastal, LTL/HTL survey was carried out by Institute of Remote Sensing, Anna University and it is presented in Fig.5

SIPCOT will develop all physical infrastructures such as roads, critical amenities like water and power. As a very unique effort, SIPCOT intends to integrate the Park with Desalination Plant, CETP and Marine Disposal facility. Each plot will be provided with independent access, waterline, wastewater transfer line and power line and these services will remain common and they will be operated and maintained in association with representative Organization of member industries by SIPCOT.

SIPCOT will allot the developed plots to the potential industries based on the comprehensive assessment of Investment, technology, employment, expert, compliance to environmental regulations, etc.,

The allottees will be allowed to establish and operate the industries only after compliance of mandatory regulations and on getting Consent under Water and Air Acts from Tamilnadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB).

2.2 NEED FOR THE PROJECT

Textile Processing is largely water intensive and with the varied types of dyes and auxiliary chemicals, these industries generate complex effluent streams which are difficult to handle, treat, reuse/recycle and dispose the final residue. At present, disposal of final treated residue and reject streams from RO from such Textile units is continued to remain a problem unresolved.

FIG.5. CRZ MAP (HTL/LTL)




Tamilnadu has hundreds of textile processing industries in the western districts which are quite away from the east boundary of coastline. The requirement of water which is also varying from a minimum of 50 litres to as high as 250 liters per kg of processing has become environmentally non-compatible while water is to be sourced from inland resources. The requirement of water and treated effluent disposal when the final effluent is having high TDS as the only objectionable contaminant, the coastal projects are more compatible for sustainable operations.

Concerned with the growing pollution problem, Judiciary of this country intervened to limit the operations of textile processing units with a mandate to own Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) facilities to reclaim water from the effluent .

The modernization to adhere ZLD norms results in higher cost of production for tiny units. Considering the financial prudence it also recommended to undergo Marine disposal as a substitute to Zero liquid discharge.

The proposed integrated textile park will be first of its kind to have a great advantage as it falls at the coastal area of Ramanathapuram district. The location of the textile park at A.Manakudi Village is well suited for withdrawal of water and nevertheless, the disposal of treated effluent into sea through Marine Dispersion systems.

2.3 EMPLOYMENT GENERATION

SIPCOT will ensure to keep the point of employment opportunities as prime criteria to allocate developed plots to industrial applicants.

It is estimated that the project could attract investments to create employment opportunities for over 6000 persons directly and 10,000 persons indirectly.

III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The proposed project is an IP to promote textile processing industries in 224.65 acres (90.912 ha) of land. The nature of activities planned within the park will be processing of Yarn, Woven fabric and Knitted fabric. The industrial infrastructures will be integrated with environmental services for Water supply with Desalination Plant (10MLD), Wastewater Treatment Plant (Recycle of treated water supply lines to member industries) for processing 20MLD of combined effluent streams and Marine Disposal system with Diffusers to dispose the treated effluent (20MLD) into sea.




3.1 PROJECT SIZE AND TYPE The project is an integrated Textile Industrial Park (ITIP) to promote textile processing industries with a total processing capacity of 300 MT/day of Yarn, woven and knitted fabric, with all required infrastructures as developed industrial plots, to house industries which require Environmental Clearance by its specified category, as per EIA notification, 2006.

Other Category of Industries which does not require EC but Consent under Water and Air Acts by TNPCB as ultra-red, red, orange and green categories will also be given allotment by SIPCOT.

As per EIA notification 2006 and its amendments thereof, the following clearances are required:

Environmental Clearance for the Industrial Park and Common Effluent Treatment Plant.

Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Clearance for the desalination plant and marine disposal facility.

SIPCOT prefers to file for EC with MoEF&CC, New Delhi for IP and also for the integrated Environmental facilities like Water Treatment Plant and Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) and Marine Disposal facility. The Industrial Park is proposed exclusively for Textile Processing Units and will be integrated with environmental infrastructures viz., common water supply system through Desalination plant (10 MLD) and Common Effluent Treatment Plant (20 MLD) with Marine disposal facility (20 MLD) for treated effluent/RO rejects.

3.2 LOCATION OF THE PROJECT

The project location is in the revenue limits of A.Manakudi Village, Thiruvadanai Taluk, Ramanathapuram District, Tamilnadu.

SIPCOT will integrate the proposed IP with all required Environmental Infrastructures to

sustain the operation of IP, compatible to coastal and as well terrestrial environment.

SIPCOT will also mandate all member industries to connect to common facilities like

water supply line from Desalination plant and effluent transfer lines to CETP. The final

rejects of Desalination plant and Membrane systems in CETP will be disposed by placing

diffusers to dilute the high TDS effluent into sea in a natural and without harming the

marine environment. SIPCOT will ensure only TDS laden treated effluent, which is

absolutely free from any other physical, chemical or biological contaminants, will be

disposed through marine disposal system.

SIPCOT will develop industrial plots for the required size to suit the industrial activities and will provide power, through its centrally organized power supply from TNEB grid.

Desalination Plant with intake structures, water lines to individual industries, Power lines to individual industries will be provided as common facilities by SIPCOT. In addition, Effluent Transfer lines from member industries to CETP, Common Effluent Treatment Plant and Marine Disposal will also be common facilities offered by SIPCOT.

Desalination plant for 10 MLD product water will be established through competent companies on PPP mode or through a MoU for O&M with investment for project establishment by SIPCOT.

An exclusive MoU will be arrived with competent companies for effluent management including collection lines, CETP and Marine disposal facilities.

3.5 MATERIAL BALANCE

SIPCOT is the infrastructure provider and the member industries will have the material balance in order.

While Material Balance is industry specific, the water Balance will be comprehensive and one for whole of IP. This will enable SIPCOT to practice ecologically sound management of resources and environmentally intelligent products will be advised for all proposed industries.




3.6 RESOURCE OPTIMIZATION

The raw material and chemicals for textile processing shall be mandated with the respective member industry for proper utilization. Low Salt dye stuffs will be insisted for use and any such conditions of TNPCB will be mandated by SIPCOT on all member industries.

The locally resourced raw materials which are environmentally sustainable will be given priority among the available options.

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle (3R) principle will be advised for adherence by the member industries. The Concept of Zero Waste will be advised for adoption by member industries.

The CETP is envisaged to have extended unit operations with membrane based plants so that the treated effluent from CETP will eventually become raw water and water will be reclaimed for about 70% as product water with TDS less than 500 mg/l.

Resource Conservation and Recycle will be made as basis for Environmental Policy for all member industries and asked to submit annual plan for Environmental Management by the respective Industries.

3.7 (A) WATER

Water will be supplied by SIPCOT to all member industries.

The total water requirement for the proposed processing capacity is estimated at 20 MLD including Domestic consumption. It is envisaged that 45% of the water would be met from recycled water from CETP and the balance 55% through Desalination Plant. The water balance chart is given below

(B) POWER

The standard power requirement for a 10 Ton unit is 500 KVA. The total connected load requirement for the proposed 300 Ton capacity is estimated at 15 MW.

3.8 EFFLUENT TREATMENT & DISPOSAL

A 20 MLD Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) will be established to treat the effluent from all members the park. After treatment, 55% of the treated effluent will be discharged into the sea and 45% will be recycled for re-use by the units in the park.




The Treatment Plant is based on a strong Chemical Oxidizing process using lime, ferrous salt and a polyectrolyte. The chemically treated effluent will be clarified in a state of the art based technology and advanced processing and control mechanisms. The clarified water will be processed in membrane based advanced treatment plant.

The clarified effluent will be processed in a two stage Pressure Filters for complete removal of residual SS, Organic TDS, Color and odor.

It will be then processed in train of MF Filter cartridge systems having cartridges of 25,10 and 5 micron in stages. The final filtrate will be processed in SW membrane based Reverse Osmosis ( RO ) plant.

The product of RO which is off good quality can be well recycled as reused in the processes by the member industries.

The Schematics of the proposed CETP is presented in Fig.9

3.9 PROJECT FEASIBILITY

The IP is proposed on the basis of demand letters to Government of Tamilnadu. The Environmental Cost Benefit will be elaborately assessed on assessing the activities of the applicant industries before respective allotment of land by SIPCOT.

The feasibility of the Project will be assessed on the basis of the required resources and their availability in the location.

Integrating the process industries with such environmental infrastructures like Desalination plant, CETP and Marine disposal system, will be unique and first of its kind in the state.

The entire periphery of the park will be provided with green belt for 20m width, all along.

SIPCOT will provide greenery with suitable tree and plantation along the sides of the roads and in the meridian of the roads.

SIPCOT will mandate all member industries to allocate 33% as open area and develop green cover in it.




6.4 SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE

Temple, Recreation club and play yard will be developed by SIPCOT for the use of workers.

Association of Member Industries will be encouraged by SIPCOT for continual upkeep of such facilities for the benefit of workforce and their dependents.

6.5 CONNECTIVITY

The proposed IP will be connected by main roads with state and National Highways.

A railway station that can help the member industries for goods transport is available at Ramanathapuram, at 36 km from the project location.

An elaborate Traffic and road plan will be developed for the use of member Industries and implemented by SIPCOT.

6.6 WATER MANAGEMENT

The water requirement for the entire activities of the member industries in the proposed IP is assessed for 20 MLD including domestic consumptions. Rather, the member industries will be chosen on the basis of water requirement and allotment will be made, with the limitation of water supply.

Necessary Coastal studies will be initiated with primary and long term secondary data to define the hydro geological features of the project location. Intake well location will be decided based on the model output to source required water for the project.

WATER TREATMENT PLANT- DESALINATION

Sea Water is the source for the proposed IP and it is envisaged to install Reverse Osmosis plant.

Conceptually, the water source development and water treatment is quite conventional, based on the membrane systems viz., Micron Filter ( 25,10 & 5 micron) in stages and finally through RO plant. The product water will be sent for recycling or reuse in the member industries.

The conceptual schematics of the WTP- Desalination facility is presented in Fig.10

FIG.10. CONCEPTUAL SCHEMATICS OF THE WTP- DESALINATION FACILITY




Marine Water will be purified to adhere BIS 10500 and separate supply lines will be made available from the common system of SIPCOT.

The systems towards source development, treatment, storage and distribution network of water supply for all member industries, for both industrial and drinking requirements, shall be operated and maintained by SIPCOT.

Member industries shall pay, separately on annual basis and on the basis of consumption rate, to SIPCOT for proper operation & maintenance.

Member industries will also pay TNPCB, the chess fee under different categories of water use, as per Water Act 1974.

6.7 SEWERAGE SYSTEM

SIPCOT will lay storm water drainage as open concrete channels, all along the roads for ensuring proper collection of storm water and the same be used for charging the rain water harvesting structures.

Managing the sewage from conveniences of workers shall be independent responsibility of the respective industries.

However, SIPCOT will operate a septic tank with soak pit for managing sewage from conveniences of office premises and security establishments.

6.8 INDUSTRIAL WASTE MANAGEMENT

The unique feature of the proposed IP is precisely that it integrates environmental facility viz., Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) for processing 20MLD of combined waste streams from member industries and reclaiming water of about 6-7 MLD as treated effluent for reuse and disposing of about 20 MLD in to sea by Marine Disposal system.

Effluent Management Effluent collection from member industries will be monitored with exclusive flow meters for quantifying them from each industry and will be ensured its transfer to CETP through Common pipelines.

The effluent must be collected, treated, and reused by recycling, through the proposed CETP. The treated effluent will have exclusive distribution lines to supply it to member




industries and also to strategic points where it will be tapped to use for green belt and common services like flushing and washings.

Any residues out off solids-separation (sludge) will be disposed off through approved TSDF.

The member industries shall submit an appraisal report on effluent management by any MoEF approved Environmental organization. This will remain a pre-requite document for applying for land allotment by SIPCOT.

6.9 SOLID WASTE

The non hazardous solid waste will be dealt independently by the member industries within their premises for composting. Or else, a common facility with any local body will be initiated, if required, with the approval of state PCB. The hazardous solid waste stream shall not be collected and periodically transferred to offsite TSDF, available in Gummidipoondi. The member industries will be instructed to take authorization for storage of hazardous solid waste, if any, from TNPCB. The storage shall be as per the respective guidelines by HW (M,H&TB) Rules, 2003.

6.10 POWER

Power requirement is assessed for around 15 MW and SIPCOT will facilitate power supply from TNEB grid.

VII. REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT (R & R) PLAN

There will not be any evacuation of peoples, as the site is fully devoid of any settlement or any activities. The land proposed for the project is fully owned by Government and necessary governmental approval has been already obtained by SIPCOT from Government of Tamilnadu.

VIII. PROJECT SCHEDULE & COST ESTIMATES

The time schedule of project execution, of land development and getting the IE commissioned, is proposed for 2 years.

The budgetary estimate of the project is assessed for INR 250 Crores.




ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL

A conceptual SWAT analysis was made on the proposed IE project. A detailed SWAT analysis will be made as part of EIA and SIA studies.

A detailed Environmental Cost Benefit Analysis will be carried out during EIA studies and documentation.

IX. CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY PLAN

Being a Coastal project and interface with sea, SIPCOT will have specific plans for developing their boundary lines with native species of trees ( Coastal compatible ) and shrubs in order to support the prevailing coastal and marine biodiversity and eco system.

Social Responsibility of member industries will be stressed among them and in line with guidelines of MoEF & CC and CPCB, exclusive Plans will be drawn independently for all member Industries and its implementation will be ensured with the allocation of Annual Budgetary provisions. An exclusive Environment Cell comprises of SIPCOT administration and Association of Member Industries will monitor with specific protocols and procedures.

SIPCOT will coordinate with District Administration for necessary coordination for implementation of National and State programs for Social development in the villages around 10km radius of the project location.

SIPCOT with the help of Association of member industries will run a periodical Health Camps in the surrounding areas, in coordination with the Collectorate of the District.

SIPCOT will develop an exclusive plan to ensure proper environmental management of the IP with monitoring programs for the listed pollutant concentrations in air, water, soil and noise, in the ambient environment of the assessed project impact area of 10 Km radius of the location. The coastline along the project location will be kept under regular monitoring for physical or chemical changes like erosion and contaminations, respectively.

Special Programs and Implementation systems will be stressed with each member industry for Occupational Health and Safety.




Common Initiatives like Off Site and on site Emergency Management Plans will be in place with the support of Local Bodies and Community groups of the surrounding areas for 10 Km radius.

Disaster Management Bodies and Crisis Groups at District and State level will be connected for plans and actions with the administration of SIPCOT.

The common facilities like Water, effluent, treated effluent (recycle) distribution lines, Power, Roads, Storm water lines and the like will be fully managed by SIPCOT administration.

The environmental monitoring of the member industries will be jointly carried out with respective industries and SIPCOT with coordination and participation of State PCB.

SIPCOT will avail consultancy services of any national level Institute for continuous monitoring of the coastal conditions and marine environment of the project location.
