environmental inputs derived from the EIA report of the proposed project prepared by the companys Environmental consultant Shri S. Kishore Kumar.

NTPC Ltd is proposing to setup a coal based Power Project named Barethi Super Thermal Power Project (6X660MW) in Chattarpur

district of Madhya Pradesh. A site near Bamita town in Raj Nagar

Page 2 of 6

Tehsil of Chhatarpur district has been finalized after comparing four alternative sites. Barethi STPP can be recognised as a regional power

project for the benefit of Bundelkhand Region and States & UT of Western Region. The project is envisaged to be commissioned during

XII Plan period.

The proposed site coordinates are 2404556 N to 2404750 N and

790 41 45 E to 790 44 08 E respectively and is located near villages Barethi & Sandni in Rajnagar Tehsil of Chhatarpur district, Madhya Pradesh. The site is about 19 Km away from Chhatarpur

and is approachable from Basari on Chhatarpur-Panna NH-75 by 5 km long PWD road. Nearest Railway Station is Khajuraho on North

Central Railway which is about 25 Km away and the nearest commercial airport Khajuraho is about 25km from the proposed site.

About 3000 Acres of land has been identified for power plant and its

associated facilities. Govt. of Madhya Pradesh vide letter dated 31.03.10 have accorded in-principle land commitment for the project.

Water is proposed to be drawn from river Ken flowing at a distance

of about 35 Kms from proposed site. Make up water requirement for

the project would be about 14,465 Cum/hr. Govt. of Madhya Pradesh vide letter dated 31.03.10 have accorded commitment for

150 Cusecs of water from Ken river for the project.

The daily coal requirement for 6 x 660 MW units shall be about

70000 MT based on average gross calorific value of 3400 kcal/ kg and100% plant load factor. The application for coal linkage has been submitted. However, for FR purposes South Eastern Coal Field has

been considered as source of coal.

The study area has sparse vegetation mainly open scrub type. The land proposed for the project does not have densely vegetation cover. The area near project site is surrounded by various kinds of trees,

herbs, shrubs, climbers and grasses. Overall 137 plant species have been recorded, there was predominance of tree species (67) and

herbs (43) followed by shrubs (29).The forest was dominated by tree species like Buchanania lanzan, Diospyrus melanoxylon,Termilania bellarica, T. arjuna, Anogeissus latifolia, Albizzia procera, Acacia catechu and Madhuca Indica. There are no ecologically sensitive areas like National Parks or

Wildlife Sanctuaries, Tiger Reserves, Elephant Reserves, Turtle Nesting Ground and Core Zone Biosphere Reserve within the 10 km radius of proposed site. However Panna Tiger reserve is located at a

distance of 12 km from the project site.

The main power plant, ash disposal area, township, greenbelt and

other facilities is proposed to be located within an area of 3000 acres.

Page 3 of 6

This will lead to changes in land-use pattern in and around the proposed project.

The construction activity would bring immediate changes in the land

use pattern of the proposed plant area as well as in the vicinity. The land required for the project will undergo a change due to cutting, stripping, excavation, and leveling, landscaping, loss of vegetative

cover and erection of structures of the proposed project. Greenbelt development and afforestation programmes shall be taken up to mitigate these impacts and overall improvement in the area with

green cover.

The impact on water quality during construction phase will be mainly due to run off from the construction area. Adequate arrangements for proper drainage and disposal of waste water and routing of the

effluents from construction area through sedimentation basins and provision of proper sanitary facilities with treatment will eliminate

problems of water pollution during construction phase. The impacts of the project during operation phase could result from discharge of hot cooling water, discharge of main plant effluents and

sanitary effluents and discharge of ash pond overflow. These effluents will be treated adequately to conform to the regulatory standards to minimize the impacts.

During construction phase, water shall be sprinkled in the vulnerable

areas to suppress the dust generated during excavation, leveling and other operations. The effluents from construction area shall be channeled through sedimentation tanks to remove suspended solids.

Suitable water supply and sanitation facilities shall be provided to the labour colonies housing the construction work force. The sanitary waste from these areas shall be accorded suitable treatment

measures such as septic tanks. Safety equipment such as earplugs and earmuffs, helmets, face

shields, safety goggles etc shall be provided to workers engaged in high risk area. A first aid centre shall be established to provide immediate medical aid to the workers and their family members. An

ambulance shall also be made available at site to transport injured workers to nearby hospitals.

Air Pollution Control System

High efficiency electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) will be installed to

limit the particulate emission to 100 mg/Nm3. To facilitate wider dispersion of pollutants three stacks with twin

flue of height 275 m above plant grade level shall be provided.

Space provision should be kept in the layout for retrofitting Flue Gas Desulphurisation (FGD) system, if required in future.

For control of fugitive dust emissions within and around the coal handling plant and coal stockyard dust extraction / suppression systems shall be provided.

Page 4 of 6

Water Pollution Control System An effluent management scheme, consisting of collection, treatment,

recirculation and disposal of effluents shall be implemented in order to optimize the make up water requirement as well as liquid effluent

generation. The detail of water system for the project is described as follows: The liquid effluents shall be collected and treated/ recycled as per

the following design philosophy: The filter backwash water of PT Plant shall be collected and

recycled back to the inlet of clarifiers.

The sludge from clarifiers of Water PT Plant shall be collected in a sump/ pit and shall be pumped to bottom ash slurry sump for

disposal to bottom ash dyke. The waste effluents from neutralization pits of DM Plant and

Condensate Polishing Plant shall be collected in the respective

neutralization pits and neutralized before pumping to the Central Monitoring Basin before final disposal.

Re-Circulating type Cooling Water (C.W) system with cooling towers shall be provided. The C. W. blow down shall be from cold water side to ensure no thermal pollution

Entire CW system blow down would be used for service water system, fly ash handling, bottom ash handling and coal dust suppression. The unused blow down shall be led to Central

Monitoring Basin after treating through clarifiers/ tube settlers. A coal settling pond shall be provided to remove coal particles from

coal handling plant waste. Decanted water shall be pumped back to the coal dust suppression system.

Service water effluent collected from plant drains shall be led to a

sump. From the sump the service water shall be pumped through tube settler/ clarifier for treatment of suspended solids. Treated service water shall be sent back to service water tank to the extent

possible for re-use. The sludge from clarifier/ tube settler shall be disposed off in

bottom ash dyke along with bottom ash slurry. An independent plant effluent drainage system would be created

so as to ensure that plant effluents do not mix with storm water

drainage. Efficient operation of various treatment schemes shall be ensured so that the quality of treated effluent from CMB

conforms to relevant standards, prescribed by regulatory agencies. The sewage from plant and township shall be treated in a sewage

treatment plant. The treated effluent conforming to prescribed

standards shall be utilized for plantation.

Noise Pollution

The major noise generating sources are the turbines, turbo-generators, compressors, pumps, fans, coal handling plant etc. from

where noise is continuously generated. Acoustic treatment shall be provided to control the noise level below 90 dB (A). Wherever required, the workers shall be provided with protective equipment

such as ear plugs/ ear muffs.
