for Multiplex & Shopping Mall namely “Omaxe Mall” to be developed by M/s Omaxe Ltd. at G.T. Road, Jalandhar Bye-pass, Ludhiana.
M/s Omaxe Ltd. has applied for grant of environmental
clearance for Multiplex & Shopping Mall namely “Omaxe Mall” to be developed at
G.T. Road, Jalandhar Bye-pass, Ludhiana.
The case was placed before the State Expert Appraisal
Committee for consideration in its 17th meeting held on 17/1/2009. During
meeting, Committee noted that the project proponent had continued with the
construction, although he was asked to stop the construction work, to submit an
affidavit with an undertaking not to execute works without obtaining
environmental clearance from the Govt. of India, Ministry of Environment &
Forests vide letter no. 21-622/2007-IA.III dated 14/1/2008. The project
proponent had submitted an affidavit to Ministry of Environment & Forests that it
had stopped the construction work of its project at Jalandhar Bye-pass, G.T.
Road, Ludhiana. Further, the project proponent had submitted its application to
SEIAA, Punjab for grant of environmental clearance on 7/4/2008, whereas, a
parallel proposal of the project proponent for grant of environmental clearance
was under consideration in the Ministry of Environment & Forests at that time and
the project proponent had concealed this information from SEIAA. As such, it was
decided by the Committee to recommend the project to SEIAA for refusal of
environmental clearance due to the following reasons:-
i) The project proponent had concealed the information from SEIAA, Punjab
that its application was also under process with the Ministry of
Environment & Forests, Govt. of India, when it applied to SEIAA, Punjab
for grant of environmental clearance on 7/4/2008.
ii) The conc. of SPM and RSPM at site as per the air quality monitoring data is
beyond the prescribed standards.
iii) The project proponent had failed to stop construction at the project site,
although the project proponent had submitted an affidavit with the Ministry
of Environment & Forests, Govt. of India to stop the construction work.
iv) As per the decision taken in the 10th meeting of SEAC held on 9/8/2008,
the promoter was requested vide letter no. 33640 dated 5/9/2008 to
Meeting of SEAC-Agenda of 33rd meeting - EMAIL
15
submit revised layout plan with at least 2 no. additional recharge pits for
rainwater harvesting. However, as per the revised layout plan submitted by
the project proponent vide its letter dated 13/10/2008, the number of
rainwater harvesting pits is still the same i.e. 5 no. pits. This indicated the
casual approach of the promoter, while submitting the reply to the
observations of SEAC.
Subsequently, the case was considered by State Environment
Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA) in its 15th meeting held on 5/3/2009,
wherein the representative of the company submitted that the company has
earlier submitted application to the MOEF for grant of environmental clearance
which was considered by EAC, however, as soon as the State Authority was
constituted the company submitted a fresh application to the State authority. The
observations made by the EAC were considered by the company while submitting
the application to the state authority but the failure of the company to intimate
about the observations of EAC was a mistake on their part for which he tended an
unconditional apology on behalf of the company. He further submitted that the
public hearing of the project was also conducted by PPCB, wherein, the
participants of the public hearing have not raised any objection for establishment
of the project. After detailed deliberation on the matter the authority requested
the representative of the company to submit a comprehensive detailed written
justification in the matter for its consideration.
Now, the project proponent vide letter dated 14/10/2009 had
submitted the reply and the same has been considered by the Authority in its 22nd
meeting held on 19/10/2009, wherein the Authority decided that the case be
forwarded to State Expert Appraisal Committee to reexamine in the matter in view
of the representation submitted by the project proponent.
Accordingly, the case is placed before the Committee for
reconsideration.

refusal of environmental clearance due to the following reasons:-
