Comments regarding 9.6 MW Wind Energy Project at Jamvadi & Navagam & Kalavad, Jamnagar, Gujarat, India of Rohit Surfactants Pvt. Ltd.

1.	In Section - D Environmental Impact- it is mentioned that “Thirty-eight categories of activity with a certain investment criteria are required to undertake an Environment Impact Assessment (EIA)”. There are only 8 categories in the EIA Notification 2006.This shows that the project proponent is not aware about EIA Notification 2006.
2.	From which state departments NOC has been obtained for this project?
3.	Gujarat is facing land crisis and there is inadequate grazing land for cattle. Why detergent making company of Uttar Pradesh interested in wind based power plant in Gujarat without any prior experience or exposure?
4.	For wind based power project, how land acquisition was done? If it is on temporary basis, for how many years lease has been signed? How compensation has been calculated and paid? What was type of land?
5.	Environment Impact Assessment for such projects is not required as per legal requirements. But what would be impact of negative environmental conditions on project? Whether assessment of environmental conditions on project has been carried out as it is in earthquake zone on seashore?
6.	Please give details of stakeholders such as name, location etc
7.	Why only local people are considered as stakeholders? It should be from state departments and local self governments also.
8.	As discussed during stakeholder meeting, proposed wind based power plant will not going to directly help power cuts of surrounding villages. It should be explained to stakeholders in details. 
9.	How many skilled/unskilled people from surrounding area were/are employed at this project during construction and operation? 
10.	Whether local villagers would be beneficiary of CDM revenue earned by company? Any plan has been develop to earmark certain fund from CDM revenue for community welfare to improve social well being of local people?
