3. Rationality for Conducting Initial Environmental Examination (IEE)
⮚According to Koshi Province, Province Environment Protection Rule (EPR), 2077 Schedule-2, (B)
Industry Sector (20) IEE is mandatory for establishment of industry manufacturing burnt bricks, tiles,
etc., with an annual production capacity up to 3 crores pieces per annum.
⮚The proposed industry aims to produce 25,00,000 pieces of burnt bricks annually at full capacity
⮚ Hence, this proposal falls under the domain of EPR. So, it requires IEE and its approval from the
Ministry of Forest, Environment and Soil Conservation, Province No. 1

4. Objectives of Initial Environmental Examination (IEE)
General objectives
The major objective of the proposed proposal is to establish burnt brick manufacturing industry in
environmentally friendly manner.
Specific objectives
⮚To establish the physical, biological and socioeconomic & cultural baseline conditions of the project
area;
⮚To identify beneficial and adverse environmental impacts of the project during construction and
operation phases;
⮚To analyze the impacts in terms of the magnitude, extent and duration;
⮚To suggest mitigation measures for the adverse impacts and enhancement measures for beneficial
impacts;
⮚To provide information to the decision makers regarding further action and about the environmental
implications due to the development of the proposed project.
⮚It also suggests whether IEE level study is sufficient or Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) is
required before the implementation of the project.

6. Relevance of the Proposal
• In Nepal, the importance of the brick kiln sector is rising due to an increase in overall population,
rapid urbanization and improved awareness of development planners on resilient building structure.
Around one-fifth of the country’s population is already living in urban areas, and this proportion is
likely to increase sharply in coming years (Sharma et.al.,2019).
• Around 1000 brick kilns (BKs) were operating in Nepal with production capacities ranging from
15,000 to 50,000 bricks per day in 2016 (Shrestha and Thygerson, 2017). There are several factors
that may influence the productivity of BKs. However, in the context of Nepal, mechanization and
technology advancement are considered the most important factors to improve the energy use
efficiency and productivity of BKs (Maskey and Manandhar, 2013).
• The BK sector with a combination of cleaner technology and improved working and living conditions
can be transformed into a ‘environmentally just and socially equitable industry’.
• Against this background, Bhagawati Kalika Itta Udhyog has been proposed in Gadhi Rural
Municipality-5, Sunsari in order to supply bricks in environmentally friendly manner.

11. Manufacturing Process [Fixed Chimney Bull’s Trench Kiln (FCBTK) operation Procedure]
15
• In an FCBTK, the bricks are stacked and fired/burnt in the space (called ‘trench’ or ‘dug’)
between the central part of the kiln (called miyana) and the outer wall.

16
• The flow of air into the kiln, which is required for combustion of the coal and for the
movement of fire in the forward direction, is caused by the draught created by the chimney.
As the fire moves forward, the fired bricks behind the fire are taken out of the kiln after they
cool down, while fresh green bricks are stacked ahead of the fire
• FCBTK is a continuous moving-fire
kiln in which the fire moves in a
closed circular or oval circuit through
the bricks to fire them.

17
• The back end of the brick
cooling zone, where
unloading of fired bricks from
the kiln happens, is kept open
to allow the entry of air from
the surroundings into the kiln.
The front end of the brick
preheating zone is sealed with
the help of polythene sheets
or tarpaulin to guide the flue
gases to the chimney through
the flue gas duct system.

18
• The chimney gas duct system
consists of a central duct and
several side ducts. The central
duct originates from the bottom
of the chimney and extends
along the length of the miyana
in both directions.
• At a time, only one or two side
ducts are in use to connect the
kiln to the central duct for
passage of flue gases..
