4. Scope of Work / Approach and Methodology
4.1 General background:
Lafarge Holcim Bangladesh Ltd (LHBL) has a cement manufacturing Plant at Chatak,
Sunamganj, Sylhet in which LHBL is using natural gas in their cement kiln for clinker
production. LHBL has been sourcing for alternative fuel source to reduce the use of natural
gas since the gas reserve of Bangladesh is depleting day by day. Now LHBL has taken a plan
to set up a coal crusher to supply around 40 MT/hour (312000 MT/year) of pulverized coal
for the cement kiln. LHBL existing plant already has up to date Environmental Clearance
Certificate from the DoE. Now LHBL need to conduct the EIA study for the installation of
Coal crushing mill in the premise of their existing cement manufacturing factory. The basis
of the coal mill project is below:
 Capacity of the coal mill 40 tph

 Coal storage (buffer stock) 16,000 tons
4.2 Objectives of the EIA Study
The objectives of the EIA are to:
 Assess the existing environmental conditions in the project area, including the
identification of environmentally sensitive issues.
 Assess the proposed activities to identify their potential impacts, evaluate the impacts,
and determine their significance.
 Propose appropriate mitigation and monitoring measures that can be incorporated into
the design of the proposed activities to minimize any damaging effects or any lasting
negative consequences identified by the assessment pursuant to the most stringent
requirements under guidelines of DOE.
4.3 Reference Guidelines and Documents

F. Noise Modeling
CUSTIC 3.2 software for noise pollution modelling is used for the assessment of the noise
propagation of this project. The CUSTIC Software allows us to create robust and useful
numeric simulations that fully make use of the graphical user interface, with a certain security
that the software CUSTIC 3.2 is one of the best tool, to carry out numeric simulations of
noise pollution.
The cumulative impact from the stationary noise sources at proposed project site has been
predicted using the above model. It was found that the ambient noise is higher than predicted
levels therefore, due to the masking effect, an increase is not expected.

equivalent noise levels. The noise sampling will be done once during the study period
continuously for 24 hours at 06 locations, selected on the basis of the site sensitivities within
the project area. The results of the findings will be analysed to work out Leq hourly, Leq day
and Leq night.
Traffic Volume: Information will be collected on traffic volume for road and river
connecting the project site by conducting traffic volume monitoring at two locations (1 river
+ 1 road). The traffic volume counts will be recorded continuously for 24 hours at one time
during the study period to assess the existing total daily traffic, peak hour traffic and traffic
composition.
Socio-economic Environment: Information collected will include demographic information,

economic activities, literacy profile, land use, infrastructure resource, economic facilities,
cultural heritage, life style and other value system.
The following methods will be used as minimum requirement but not restricted to the
following as and when required:
