3. Introduction
• The project entails construction of above ground pipeline of 20 inches diameter, 12.5 km long for
Propane from BPCL Jetty, JNPT to BPCL Uran Terminal to be laid in existing BPCL Cryogenic 2 X 12” Dia
lines corridor with suitable insulation & safety systems and all associated civil and structural works
including crossings.
• The project attracts Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) clearance as per the CRZ Notification 2011 and falls
under the CRZ-IA, CRZ-IB, CRZ-II and CRZ-IVA category as per approved CZMP of Maharashtra.
• The environmental baseline data was collected in the post-monsoon season in month from November
2021 to February 2022 at pre-decided locations along the pipeline route in 500m of either side of area
with the pipeline route as the center line.
• The proposed pipeline project was recommended to MoEFCC by MCZMA vide File No. CRZ 2021/CR
181/TC 4 dated 1st June, 2022.

4. Project Benefits
The proposed augmentation will help in achieving LPG imports to the tune of 3 MMTPA. This augmentation will
benefits us in the following ways:
• Handling larger quantity of imports at JNPT
• Import and storage of Propane and Butane separately which would give BPCL commercial advantages by way
of marketing propane and Butane along with LPG.
• Catering the increased demand of LPG consumers enrolled under Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojan (PMUY) Phase
I as well as Phase II.
• Pipelines are the preferred alternative of fuel transport due to safety, economy and relative environmental
friendliness.
• The pipeline transportation is cost effective as it outweighs the expenses of any other mode of transportation in
the long run.

23. Anticipated Impacts and Mitigation Measures (Construction phase)
The severity of impacts are categorized into four different categories depending upon the numbers arrived at
the evaluation of overall significance for each of the impacts.
Severity legend
Tangible Significant Substantial Massive
8-15 16-40 41-70 71-144
Overall significant impact
 Transportation, raw material storage and construction work is one time activity but it may disturb the
surrounding environment. Hence cumulative impact magnitude for these activities is significant.
 However, construction is a short term activity so no significant long term impact is anticipated
