Revised Water Balance

RIL -NMD has an approval of 67,500m3/day of water from Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) supply from its intake systems at village Welshet. MIDC has installed jack-wells on River Amba which is approximately 4.5 km (aerial distance) upstream of NMD and water is pumped through pipeline to RIL-NMD. The present fresh water requirement for RIL-NMD is 36,000 m3/day. The additional water requirement for the proposed project is ~4000 m3/day mainly for cooling water purpose which will be met from the existing allocation. Therefore, the existing water allocation is adequate to meet the demands for the proposed project.

However, during the presentation to Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC Industry-II) for grant of Environment Clearance (EC), the committee was of the opinion that the additional water consumption was on a higher side and NMD facility needs to work on water conservation measures to reduce the water consumption and submit a revised water balance showing recycle options.

NDM facility carried out an assessment for water conservation & have proposed to install a RO system for maximum recycle for cooling water purpose. Therefore, with installation of the RO system the proposed project will not require any additional water and the present water requirement of ~36,000 m3/d shall suffice the proposed project as well.

The revised water balance for the proposed project is shown below in below Figure. The treated water from ETP is recycled into the cooling tower & rejects are disposed of in Dharamtar Creek through the existing multiport, sub-surface diffuser which is ~ 26 km from the NMD facility.

The RO system will be designed with 80-85% recovery consisting of 2 trains with 4300 m3/d capacity each. The RO rejects of ~ 1000 m3/d with High TDS of Max. 10000 mg/l, a worst case, shall be disposed through the existing marine disposal facility & discharged at sub-surface level through a multiport diffuser at discharge point at Dharamtar Creek as advised by NIO and consented by MPCB.

Further, after implementation of the proposed recycling scheme the marine discharge will drastically reduced from the earlier scenario as presented to EAC & also the marine discharge will have a high TDS content beyond 2100 mg/l TDS consented by MPCB. . Since, this disposal is into the Dharamtar creek through the existing system, there is unlikely to be any significant impact on the marine environment even with the high TDS post RO.

None the less, in order to understand the dispersion of pollutant in the creek dispersion modelling using CORMIX was undertaken. CORMIX is a United States EPA approved mixing zone model used for point source discharges. CORMIX is a steady-state 3-dimensional model that relies on measured/modelled ambient conditions to generate plume geometry.

Marine outfall modelling The dispersion modelling for the discharge plume for the RO out let discharge was carried out considering a worst case scenario to ascertain the impact of effluent discharge in Dharamtar Creek. The parameters modelled were BOD, COD, TDS, TSS, Chloride, Sulphides, Sulphates and Oil and Grease. The ambient conditions of the surrounding waters are attained within a distance of ~888m from outfall locations for a worst case scenario of Max. 10000 mg/l of HTDS.

Enterprise Social Responsibility

As a socially responsible corporate citizen, Reliance serves the society, through Reliance

Foundation, in the domains of Rural Transformation, Education, Healthcare, Urban Renewal

and Arts, Culture and Heritage. RIL’s relief and rehabilitation efforts in Kashmir and other

areas affected by natural calamities earned significant respect.

At RIL, Social Responsibility is embedded in its long term business strategy. For RIL, business

priorities co-exist with social commitments to drive holistic development of people and

communities. The RIL’s initiatives help elevate the quality of life of surrounding community,

especially the disadvantaged sections of the society. It seeks to touch and transform people’s

lives by promoting environment conservation, healthcare, education and employment

opportunities. RIL aims to continue its efforts to build on its tradition of social responsibility

to empower people and deepen its social engagements.

Focus Areas of Engagement RIL has several opportunities to increase and deepen social impact significantly and generate value for all. RIL seeks to strategically consolidate its social responsibility initiatives to focus on discrete social problems and enable people to earn their livelihoods. To streamline social initiatives, RIL has identified six focus areas that aim to positively and holistically impact society.

RIL's Social Responsibility intervention Nine Social Responsibility Pillars at NMD

RIL has undertaken numerous initiatives aimed at developing the communities around which it conducts its operations. The overriding objective is to create value and ensure all inclusive growth. RIL is working assiduously to ensure that economic wealth is not just limited to the privileged, but distributed in a manner that benefits the marginalised sections of society. RIL has made significant contributions to help shape India’s vision of inclusive growth. Sustainable development strategies have helped RIL to create thriving eco-systems towards profitable growth and creation of societal value for multiple stakeholders. RIL goes beyond its business activities to create societal impact through its diverse initiatives. RIL has been involved in various social responsibility initiatives over the decades. In 2010, these activities were brought under the Reliance Foundation (The Foundation), the umbrella organisation for the RILs social sector initiatives. Through these initiatives, RIL engages with communities to ensure their well-being by enhancing access to quality education and healthcare, capacity building for employment generation, access to good infrastructure and ecological conservation.

Enterprise Social Responsibility interventions at NMD

At RIL NMD, the enterprise social responsibility activities are covered under broad categories

of environment improvement programs & community development programs with a

proposed budget of Rs. 46,465 Lakhs spread over the next 10 years. The detailed budget in

enclosed below.

Environment Improvement Program

NMD facility has a structured team of people with defined roles and responsibilities for the

overall implementation of the environment improvement program, the activities covered

under the environment improvement includes Marine disposal facility, facilities to treated

effluent recycle in firefighting, recycle of treated of effluent, installation of low NOx burners

to reduce NOx emissions, operation & maintenance of effluent treatment facility, upkeep &

maintenance of the robust green belt & horticulture, municipal solid waste management,

occupational health centre which caters to the employees as well as the surrounding

community, providing direct & indirect employment opportunities to the local community

based on skills, although these above mentioned activities are being carried out & monitored

since inception of NMD facility, the same shall be continued & extended to the proposed

project as well.

Community Development Program

The community development activities of existing facility shall get automatically extended to

the proposed project as well. RIL-NMD has always made sustainable development the

cornerstone of its business strategy to achieve sustainable and profitable growth, creating in

its wake thriving eco-systems around all its businesses.

The programs are designed with the approach of;

Empowering community for their long term sustainable growth through various

capacity building programs; and

Encouraging participatory approach of all stakeholders.

A dedicated team in place, working for welfare of the society in general and for the

surrounding villages in particular. The interventions of the company, is majorly spread across

9 Gram Panchayats in surrounding of the project locations. These 9 Gram Panchayat includes

15 villages and 13 tribal villages. Approximately ~ 23,000 populations in these villages are

taking benefit of various intervention.
