These conditions shall include preparation of fresh EMP for the expansion area, as the same would not have been studied in detail while obtaining the Environmental Clearance for the lease area such fresh EMP preparation shall not be affected by the ongoing activities of the expansion project. The MoEF & CC while stipulating these additional conditions for the expansion project may consider higher Afforestation measure, increase in CSR amount. Additional public service activities for the local inhabitants and project affected people such as providing drinking water, road facility, schools, dispensary, street lighting, health campaign, adult education and skill development etc that shall be a part of fresh EMP. The fresh EMP is required as the EIA and EMP prepared for the entire lease area would have been done few years back ranging from 3 to 7 years. The environment and the project activities being dynamic, the ground situation would have undergone change and fresh issues might have cropped up hence these needs to be addressed comprehensively.
