1. Cement is an extensively used material. The demand of cement is high both in building
and infrastructure development.
2. However, the environmental impact of cement production process starting from pre
production stage to end stage is significant.
3. This study scrutinizes the environmental impact due to cement production process in
ACC cement plant of Chhattisgarh state, India.
4. The plant production adopted the dry processes which include simply of raw materials,
clinker burning and grinding process from which dust is emitted due to the kiln feed,
crushers, grinding clinker cookers and material handling equipments.
5. A case study of ACC cement plant is developed, focusing on crusher unit for evaluating
the significant environmental impact. The study shows that how one can generate
aspects from activities and can analyze that which aspects are significant or
insignificant.
6. The case study suggests that the aspects like fugitive dust emission and noise need to be
emphasized and require more attention and to be managed.

General
1. Environmental Impact Assessment’ is a systematic process to identify, evaluate and predict the potential
impacts of a proposed development project.
6
2. EIA is a ‘decision making’ tool for the proposed developmental activities which scales the project based on its
environmental consequences.
3. The tool is used before making any major decisions and commitments. The environment here, in a broader
perspective, includes biophysical, social, cultural and health impacts
4. By considering the environmental effects of the project and their mitigation early in the project planning
cycle as part of environmental assessment has many benefits, such as protection of environment, optimum
utilization of resources and saving of time and cost of the project.
5. Properly conducted EIA also lessons conflicts by promoting community participation, informing decision
makers and helping lay the base for environmentally sound projects
6. Thus, Environmental Impact Assessment helps in harmonizing the developmental activities with the
environmental concerns.

1. Determination and investigate feasible alternatives for the
proposed development.
2. Identify the environmental status in terms of the baseline
information that has been obtained.
3. Identify the potential environmental impacts of the proposed
development
4. Access the potential environmental impacts in terms of the
following extent

6. Frequency
7. Probability
8. Significance of the impact
9. Make recommendations regarding suitable migration measures
to reduce the significance of the identified impacts.
10. Conduct the specialist studies and integrate the findings into
the final report
EIA process requirements in India (fig with the above points)

9. AIM AND OBJECTIVE
The case study of ACC cement plant
is developed with following
objectives focusing on crusher unit
which are:
i. To understand various activities
on crusher unit.
ii. To identify key environmental
aspects associated with the
selected activities.
iii. To identify actual and potential,
positive and negative
environmental impacts
associated with each identified
aspects.
To meet the above objectives, we
develop a case study for which we
have visited a cement plant and
conducted unstructured interviews
with the relevant key personnel.
Raw data were also collected from
secondary sources i.e. published
magazine and manuals.

RESULT
AND
INFERENCES
Table 1 shows various activities of crusher unit, aspects and associated impacts.
Determination of significance of identified Aspects
After finding various activities, aspects and impacts, the next step is the identification
of the significant aspects. For this again, unstructured talk with the people we came to
know that it is essential to determine what factors will be considered in determining
significant aspect and secondly to establish a rating scheme for the factors of
significance. It entirely depends on the management of the system or industry to give
scaling factor.
Table 2 shows six factors naming as A to F (top row) and column 1 to 6 shows rating
scheme with minimum as 1 and maximum marks as 10 depending upon their severity.
Procedure of significance evaluation
For evaluation process the various activities of
Table 1 is rated on the basis of parameters and score criteria given in Table 2 and a
benchmark of 75 units is taken as a deciding factor. If the total unit of any particular
aspect for an activity comes out to be more than 75, then the aspect can be considered
as significant otherwise insignificant. (Table 3)

14. C O N C L U S I O N 1. Cement production is one of the main pollution contributors due to its extensive energy consumption and gas
emission.
2. Dust emission sources are kiln, crusher, grinders, clinker cookers and material handling equipments. Crusher
department is one of the major sources of environmental pollution. dust emission, stack emission and noise have
been identified as significant aspects during activities like receipt of limestone, primary crushing, screening.
3. These significant aspects are imparting very much impact on the human health like respiratory disorderness,
hearing impairment, etc.
4. Thus there arises a need for developing a strategy for reducing the impacts and this require more attention to be
emphasized on the aspects.
