No. 25/2, 29/1, 29/2, 30/1 and 32 of Nallurahalli Village, K.R. Puram Hobli, Bangalore East Taluk, Bangalore of M/s. Maithri Developers, Sri. B.V.S. Reddy, No. 25/1, Sri Kote Ashirwad Towers, Outer Ring Road, Doddanekkundi, Marathahalli, Bangalore- 560037. (SEIAA 112 CON 2016) This is a proposal seeking Environmental clearance for expansion of residential apartment from 350 to 396 units with B+G+11 UF, on a total Plot area of 16,591.97 Sq.mts and with total Built up area of 66,037.28 Sq.mts. Total water requirement is 267 KLD. The project had obtained Environmental Clearance from SEIAA vide letter No. SEIAA 104 CON 2012 dated 15 th September 2012 for a built up area of 66,037.28 Sqm with 350 units in B+G+8UF on a plot area of 16,591.97 Sqm.
The subject was discussed in the SEAC meeting held on 19 th August 2016 and 23 rd September 2016. The committee observed that as per the revenue survey map a nala is running away from the boundary of the project site. Since it is a outflow of the existing water body the committee opined that this has to be treated as primary nala (Raja Kaluve). However the said nala has now been shifted and brought adjacent to this project site. The proponent has left 15 m buffer from the centre of the existing nala considering it as tertiary nala and accordingly the proposal was appraised, EC was issued by the SEIAA and construction work also started. However as per the NGT order with respect to OA No. 222/2014 dated 04.05.2016, 25 m buffer from the edge of the nala is to be provided if it is considered as teritiary nala otherwise 50 m buffer is to be left in case of primary nala. Since the building is already constructed and the expansion is only vertical it may not be possible to leave the buffer without demolishing the constructed building. The committee opined that the proposal cannot be taken up for appraisal unless the original alignment of the nala is to be restored as per the revenue records. The committee after discussion had decided to recall the proponent after submission of the following information: 1. The structural stability certificate of the building from third party agency to ascertain the load bearing capacity of the predesigned structure in view of the proposed construction above the already approved structure by the competent authorities. 2. In the earlier issued EC, the built up area is mentioned as 66,037.28 Sqm whereas the actual built up area as stated by the proponent is 42,277 Sqm. The discrepancy to be substantiated with supporting documents The proponent and Environmental Consultant attended the meeting of SEAC to provide required clarification/additional information. The proponent has submitted the replies during the meeting. The committee observed that as per the land conversion furnished by the proponent, there is no mention of any nala adjacent to the project site. However a nala has been shifted unauthorisedly and set back from original position of the nala ie. as reflected in the village survey map to the boundary of this property is 50 m. Also the proponent has left 50 m from the property boundary to the original alignment of the nala. The BBMP has approved the plan ignoring illegally shifted nala as stated by the proponent. The Committee has recommended to SEIAA for issue of Environmental Clearance. The Authority during the meeting held on 7 th November 2016 had perused the proposal and took note of the recommendation of SEAC. The Authority after discussion decided to get the following information for further consideration: 2
1) Details of original alignment of the nala and the shifted alignment with respect to the project site and the relevant orders thereof. 2) Compliance on the earlier E.C. 3) Comparison of the footprint of the buildings approved as per the earlier Environmental Clearance and the proposed. 4) Details of Recreational Ground area. The Authority also decided to invite the proponent. The Authority perused the reply submitted by the proponent vide letter dated 28.11.2016. The proponent appeared before the Authority and explained the proposal in brief. The proponent while clarifying the distance from the nearest nala, submitted that as per the village map a nala is flowing across Sy. No. 25, which is 50 m from the proposed project site. The proponent however submitted that the nala has been unauthorizedly diverted from its original alignment to the boundary of the Sy.No. 25 by the concerned landlord even before possession of the project site from the present owner. The Authority therefore decided to consider the distance from the original alignment as the competent authority would restore the alignment of the nala to its original position. While replying to the query, the proponent clarified that there is no change in original footprint of the building for which Environmental Clearance has been granted on 15 th September 2012, The Authority after discussion decided to clear the proposal for issue of Environmental Clearance subject to submission of the following information: 1) Revised scaled layout plan clearly indicating entry/exit, STP/MSW treatment facility, internal circulation roads and location of all other infrastructural facility. 2) Details of Recreation Ground area of at least 15% of the plot area with at least 50% of the RG area on the mother earth in the form of a table. 3) Specific source of treated water for the construction with an undertaking/mou with the prospective supplier of such treated water and with water quality analysis report to establish that such treated water is fit for construction purpose. 4) Specific social commitment plan with activity, budget and time frame as part of corporate / entrepreneur social responsibility in accordance with O.M. No.J-11013/25/2014-IA.I dated 11 th August, 2014. 3

The committee had observed that as per the NGT order the buffer has to be left and maintained as NDZ area whereas in this case a road has been already constructed to connect the two parcels of the project. The proponent requested the committee to 6
consider the proposal as B1 and exempt from the preparation of EIA report since there is only a marginal increase in the built up area of 17,414 Sqm. The committee asked the proponent to submit the following information for further consideration. 1. Implications on the proposed project site to be explained with respect to NGT order OA 222/2014 dated 04.05.2016. As per the order required buffer from the edge of the nala is to be provided depending upon the type of nala 2. Buffer zone area adjacent to the nala is to be calculated. It shall be maintained as No Development Zone and not to be considered for the green belt area 3. Quantification of the terrace area available for harnessing solar energy and an appropriate plan thereof with due calculations. 4. Scheme for utilisation of entire Rain Water harvested in the project site (both from the roof top and from the surface runoff) within the Project premises. 5. Details of excavated earth utilization management plan within the project site 6. Hydrological study of the area influencing the surface water flow considering the micro water shed network of the region. The proponent has not submitted the replies. The Committee appraised the proposal during the meeting held on 24 th September 2016. As observed from the Development Plan approved by the BDA for the entire extent of land area, following points are observed as regarding nala crossing in the land area. 1. Nala 1: Nala 1 which is passing along the western boundary of the project site, BDA has approved the construction driveway, parking space etc without leaving any clear buffer zone. 2. Nala 2: as per nala 2 is concerned it cuts across the land area in NS direction. Though BDA has reserved certain area as buffer zone, they approved for the construction of approach road connecting western portion with eastern portion. 3. As per the revenue village survey map, there is another nala running from east to west cutting across the eastern portion of the site and joining the nala running in north to south direction. However while approving the Development Plan for the entire area the BDA has approved the construction of 18 m wide road way all along this nala leaving no buffer zone. 4. As regarding classification of the project, the proponent has obtained EC earlier for the total built up area of 6,05,331 Sqm under B1 category. Now the total built up area after this modification and expansion comes to 6,22,745 Sqm. Hence there is an addition of 17,414 Sqm Built up area which works out about 2.5% of the increase in built up area. Also the water consumption gets increased by about 12.5% more than the earlier requirement. 7
In view of the above small increase in the usage of natural resources the Committee has appraised the proposal as B2 and decided to recommend the proposal to SEIAA for issue of Environmental Clearance. The Authority during the meeting held on 7 th November 2016 had perused the proposal and took note of the recommendation of SEAC. The Authority observed that there is an increase in the nala area when compared to the earlier Environmental Clearance. The Authority after discussion decided to get the following information for further consideration: 1) Details of buffer area to be maintained as per the orders of the Hon'ble NGT. 2) Details of the proposed development super imposing on the layout plan approved as per the earlier EC. 3) Horizontal section of one of the residential block. 4) Quantification of water requirement, MSW and parking for both residential and commercial developments separately. 5) Details of Recreational Ground area in the form of a table. The Authority also decided to invite the proponent. The Authority perused the reply submitted by the proponent vide letter dated 23.11.2016. The proponent appeared before the Authority and explained the proposal in brief. The proponent submitted that there are two nalas passing through the project site, one in the centre of the project site which is primary nala and another at the western boundary of the project site. The proponent submitted that no additional construction or modification is proposed in the buffer area of nala 01 which is at the eastern boundary of the project site and a buffer of 50 m provided on either side of nala 02 which is located at the centre of the project site and the entire buffer zone is maintained as no construction zone as per the orders of the Hon'ble NGT. The proponent further submitted that the area earmarked for commercial building-7 as per the earlier E.C. is now proposed to be used for construction of a residential building-3 with 2 Basement+Ground+14 Upper Floors. The Residential Buildings which were cleared for 2 Basement + Ground+ 9 Upper Floors are now proposed to be 2 Basement+Ground+14 Upper Floors. The proponent explained the changes that are proposed in the drawing approved as per the earlier E.C. The Authority after discussion decided to clear the proposal for issue of Environmental Clearance subject to submission of the following information for clarity and for the sake of documentation: 1) Layout plan clearly indicating entry /exit, STP/MSW treatment facility, RG area, internal circulation roads and location of all other infrastructural facility. 2) Details of residential building No.3. 8

The committee reviewed the reply submitted by the proponent during the 166 th meeting of SEAC held on 17 th and 18 th June 2016. As verified from the village map, it is found that, the distance from the edge of the lake to the site boundary is about 30m and as per latest NGT order, minimum 75 m buffer has to be left between lake boundary to the site boundary, and for this the proponent has to give clarification. In the earlier proceedings, a nala is passing by the side of the project site for which clarification is sought from the proponent, and it was mentioned as cart track in the village map and the reply for this is accepted by the committee. The committee after discussion had decided to reconsider the proposal after the submission of the above clarification. The proponent has submitted a letter dated 13.07.2016 requesting the committee to consider the project for Environmental Clearance as the project site falls under Hebbagodi Gram Panchayat, now upgraded to Hebbagodi Town Municipality, which does not come under the BBMP limits and not attracting the NGT order. The Committee has recommended to SEIAA for issue of Environmental Clearance subject to condition that the required buffer from the lake boundary is to be maintained as per the norms.
