equipment.




material handling & transport vehicles and

light vehicles.

5.5 Dust or odours from handling of

materials including construction

materials, sewage and waste

No There will be dust from blasting for under

ground tunnels/caverns. This will be

controlled by connecting dust filters or

precipitators to the exhaust stream of forced

ventilation. Dust impact from transportation

of tunnel muck to the dump yard, within 500

mtrs from tunnel entry portal, will be reduced

by water spraying, use of covered vehicles

and erection of wind screens around muck

dump.

No odour causing materials are used. Sewage

will be treated to avoid odour.

the Utility building, just outside the tunnel

portal. Noise and vibration will be controlled.

No emission of light and heat.

6.2 From industrial or similar process No

6.3 From construction or demolition Yes In the initial phase, in the cut and cover

reach, there will be noise & vibration from

construction equipment. Thereafter, they will

be confined within the tunnel.

6.4 From blasting or piling Yes For the first 300m of tunnel, sand bags and

low intensity blast design will control the

noise and vibration. Beyond the initial 300m, no

significant noise/vibration are expected, as the

work area will be deep underground.

6.5 From construction or operational

traffic Yes It will be mostly confined within the project

site, at the tunnel portal, and may not have

much impact.

6.6 From lighting or cooling systems No The impact of the cooling equipment like

chiller , blower etc., which are housed in the

Utility Building will be reduced by proper

choice of systems and isolation. High

intensity light sources are not used. Only

normal building and area lighting.

6.7 From any other sources No

etc from storage, handling use or

production or hazardous

substance

Yes Possible from explosion during blasting for

the construction of underground tunnels and

caverns. All safety and regulatory measures

will be ensured strictly during charging the

explosives, blasting and removal of muck.

8.2 From any other causes No

8.3 Could the project be affected by

natural disasters causing

environmental damage (e.g.

floods earthquakes, landslides,

cloudburst etc.?)

No Laboratory is underground, with more than

1000 m rock cover vertically and radially,

under very solid rock and hence are

structurally / seismically safe. All the over-

ground structures will be designed for

seismic forces appropriate to Seismic Zone 3,

although the site is located in zone 2.

9. Factors which should be considered (such as consequential development) which

could lead to environmental effects or the potential for cumulative impacts with

other existing or planned activities in the locality


Confirmation

Yes/No Details thereof (with approximate quantities/rates, wherever possible) with source of information data

9.1 Lead to development of

supporting, facilities, ancillary

development or development

stimulated by the project which

could have impact on the

environment e.g. • Supporting infrastructure (roads, power supply, waste or waste water treatment, etc.)

• Housing development

• Extractive industries

• Other

No About 1000m of new internal roads will be built within the INO site. About 2km of mud cart track, up to site, will be converted to 10m wide good road. About 7km of existing village roads will be strengthened/modified. A new bypass road (about 1 km) will be built at Rasingapuram village, to avoid material movement through the congested and narrow village road. INO with limited residential manpower is unlikely to induce collateral development with potential for adverse environmental impact

9.2 Lead to after-use of the site,

which could have an impact on

the environment

No The site will not be available for any other

activity.

9.3 Set a precedent for later

developments

No The India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO) will be unique of its kind in the country and will be among a few in the world for

Neutrino Physics research. Cannot be a precedent for future developments at the site.

9.4 Have cumulative effects due to

proximity to other existing or

planned projects with similar effects

No There are no projects planned or under

execution in the proximity of proposed INO

site at Pottipuram village.

The appeal is directed against the Environmental Clearance (EC) granted to the 5th

respondent – project proponent by MoEF & CC dated 1.6.2011 for the construction of

India-based Neutrino Observatory Project at Bodi West Hills, Pottipuram Village, Theni

District.

Eventhough various grounds are raised for the purpose of challenging the impugned

EC, during the course of arguments Mr. M. Radhakrishnan, learned counsel appearing

for the appellant has brought to the notice of this Tribunal that Mathikettan Shola National

Park in Idukki District, Kerala is situated within 4.9 Km from the site for which EC was

granted. As per the General Conditions attached to EIA Notification, 2006 in cases

where the project is located in whole or in part within 10 Km from the boundary of (i)

Protected Areas notified under the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972 (ii) Critically Polluted

Areas, as identified by the Central Pollution Control Board from time to time (iii) Eco

Sensitive Areas as notified under Sub Section (2) of Section 3 of the Environment

(Protection) Act, 1986 and (iv) Inter-State boundaries and International boundaries even

if the project or activity is covered under Category – B, such project or activity is directed

to be treated as Category – A. The 10 Km limit has been subsequently reduced to 5 Km

by an amendment dated 25th June, 2014 carried out to the EIA Notification, 2006. The

document produced before this Tribunal by Mr.Radhakrishnan also shows that the

distance is 4.9 Km and in such view of the matter, not only the project in question should

be treated as Category –A project but also clearance under the Wild Life (Protection) Act,

1972 is to be obtained from the National Board for Wild Life. Admittedly, such permission

has not been obtained on the facts of this case.

In view of the same, we are of the considered view that without going into any

other aspect which are raised in this appeal, the matter must be resolved so as to enable

the project proponent to make a fresh proposal in appropriate form under EIA

Notification, 2006 to enable the statutory authorities to consider such proposal in

accordance with law. This is with the consent of both the counsel appearing for the

appellant as well as the respondent – Mr. G..R. Swaminathan, Assistant Solicitor General

appearing for the project proponent.

Accordingly, the impugned EC is kept in abeyance so as to enable the 5th

respondent project proponent or any other legal person to make proper application in

Form – I or in any other manner known to law. If such application is made, it is for the

Regulatory Authority to consider the same on merits and in accordance with law as

expeditiously as possible. While keeping the impugned EC in abeyance, we make it

clear that the transfer of land already made in the name of the project proponent should

not be affected and the same will be subject to the final outcome or any order which may

be passed by the Regulatory Authority in the manner known to law. However, the status

quo which is in existence as on today, shall be maintained till final orders are passed by

the Regulatory Authority and the other issues raised in the appeal are left open.

With the above direction, the appeal stands disposed of. There shall be no order as

to cost.
