An Environment Management Cell has
been constituted to undertake environment
protection measures and for development of all
environmental aspects. For environmental
sustainability, nearly 6-12% of operational cost
is incurred in these measures which include
maintenance and modification of Pollution Control
equipments, hiring of professional consultants for
various environmental studies, maintenance of
sewage treatment plant, environmental and
plantation works at plants & mines. The
environment cell is divided in three parts:-
1. Air Lab.
2. Water and waste water Lab.
3. Microbiological lab.
Water and wastewater testing lab. with
advanced Equipments is set-up at Jaypee Rewa
Cement Complex. The water and wastewater testing
is being done at Water lab itself. A separate Air
lab is in operation for the analysis of different
gases i.e. SOX & NO2 as per IS: 5182. Various
parameters including heavy metals are analysed
with NOVA 60 (Merck make) spectroquant
spectrometer. |
| A continual afforestation drive in
Mines, Plants & Township areas and all along road is
undertaken to improve the overall environment as a
safeguard against pollution. The plant species are
chosen corresponding to the soil quality and locally
existing variety and have a survival rate of around
80%. Upto 5,88,380 trees have already been planted in
& around project site. |
| The Group’s dry cement
manufacturing process based plants have modern air
pollution control equipment and as such there is no
effluent from the plants; therefore the ‘zero –
discharge’ principle is complied with. Moreover, the
entire domestic sewage and waste water is treated at
Sewage Treatment Plants of adequate capacity upto the
tertiary treatment level after which ozonation is
carried out to the tertiary treated water to get rid
of any odour or pathogen in the treated water. This
treated water is used in the cement manufacturing
process as well as for horticulture purposes. |

Reservoir from Jaypee Rewa Plant |
Every drop of rain water is
conserved in the plant by an innovative garland canal
covering a periphery of 6.2 km .The collection is
diverted into the reservoirs situated in the Mines.
Four Rain Water harvesting bodies covering nearly 47.0
hectares have been developed in Mines area. These
reservoirs with a capacity of 32.2 lac M3 water have
created a positive impact on the ground water level of
adjoining villages by stabilizing the water table of
the surrounding wells.
|
| The reclamation and rehabilitation
of mined area is a continuous process in Jaiprakash
Associates Limited. The hard overburden generated is
used to back-fill the area and after imparting a good
topsoil cover the area is rehabilitated in a planned
way by adopting large scale afforestation. The
increased sighting of Hare, Jackals, Foxes, Cranes and
Mongeese is testimony to the fact that the environment
is becoming increasingly more conducive to life. |
• Scientific segregation of all types of waste
at source:-
Segregation of Domestic & Plant solid-waste at the
point of generation to make the most effective use and
disposition of the solid waste. Domestic solid waste
is segregated in two differently coloured bins (one
for biodegradable & another for non-biodegradable)
• Bio-methanation plant for bio-degradable kitchen
waste collected from colony and Annpurnas. The bio-gas
is used as a fuel in the Annapurna.
• Use of Plastic waste as Alternative fuel in cement
kiln:-
The plastic waste collected from Rewa city and the
cement plants’ colonies is used as alternative fuel in
the cement kiln.
• Vermi-composting of leaf litter :-
The leaf-litter collected during road sweeping goes
for vermi-composting in pits having vermin-culture.
The compost generated is used as manure in
horticulture and aforrestation. |
