This is an application for modification in Environmental clearance granted vide J-1'1011123912010-lA-ll (l) dated 29th Aprit 201 1.

Request for grant of Environment Clearance for modification/increase inproduction capacity

1. The project has already obtained Environment Clearance for production of12,000 TPA of currency paper vide MoEF letter no. J-11011t239/2010-lA-ll (l)dated 29th April 201 1. The compliance to conditions in Environmental clearanceletter is attached as Annexure - 5

2. Production capacity increase would be achieved without any further draft ofnatural resources such as water & environment and there will be no increase ingeneration of effluent & no further increase in pollutant load. please note thefollowing points which are achieved by process improvement in the BNpMcurrency paper mill

o Due to stringent water conservation policy adopted by BNpM, Fresh waterconsumption is within the limit prescribed by MoEF /KSPCB of 75 m3 perMT of paper production.

. Trade/industrial effluent generation is within the consent (KSPCB _

consent for operation) quantity of 3531 .4 m3/day.

. BNPM is operating state of the art UF-RO units to recycle the treatedeffluent, in addition to softener systems. present recycling rate of treatedeffluent (as RO & soft water) to process is 52%, which is best in similarindustries.

3. BNPM has adopted "Elemental Chlorlne free technology,,, which totally free fromuse of chlorine in pulp preparation.

4. BNPM installed Zero Discharge Effluent Treatment plant & the same is inoperation since commissioning of industry to treat the industrial effluent. The totarcost incurred for installation of ETP is approx.26 crores. Further, to have bettercontrol over the process, a dedicated laboratory was sefup in ETp to carry_outthe day to day analysis of effluent & treated water.
