The Rajghat thermal power station was commissioned in 1989-90 and was a 135.0 megawatt (MW) coal fired thermal power plant, consisting of two 67.5 MW units and uses 2000 tonnes of coal per day. The plant area is 40 acres and the ash dumping area is around 24 acres. The linked mine is Piparwar, from where the Bituminous coal is supplied to the unit. It had one stack of 160 m height and produced about 23,0000 tonnes of fly ash annually and was equipped with ESPs (electrostatic precipitator) which have an efficiency of 99.7 percent (Mehra et al., 1998) The Indraprastha power station was commissioned between 1967-71 and was a 247.5 megawatt (MW) coal fired thermal power plant, consisting of three 62.5 MW and one 60 MW units and uses 3500 tonnes of coal per day. It had three stacks, height of the three stacks being 61m, 62.53m, and 62.53 m, respectively. The plant produced about 0.375 million tonnes of fly ash annually and was installed with ESPs which had an efficiency of 99.3%. The Coal Utilized at Indraprastha Power Station was approx. 965861 metric tonnes per annum and the ash utilization rate wa 0.311million tonnes per annum. Source : A.

The site area is the defunct Indraprastha power station in the capital that was closed in 2010 after some four decades of pumping out pollutants from its 240 MW thermal units.
Site Area 40 Sq Km. 8 Km X 5 Km Intervention Area 3 Sq Km.
Gazetteer of 1976 mentions the presence of crocodile [Crocodilus palustris] Gazetteer(1883-4) and (1912) mentions the presence of both Muggurs [crocodile] and Gurryal [gharial; Gavialis gangeticus]. Gazetteer of 1912 observes that turtles were abundant in both river and lakes, while Gazetteer of 1976 records the presence of two species viz. Pond turtle [Lissemys punctata] and Box turtle [Trionyx gengeticus]. Among amphibians, the toad [Bufo melanostictus] and the Indian bull frog [Rana tigrina] were very common.

Gazetter(1883-4) mentions the presence of pigs all around Yamuna river in Jhau jungle [Tamarix dioica]. Foxes and hares were plentiful on the eastern bank of Yamuna. Other mammals frequenting the Yamuna landscape were nilgai, jackal, chikara, common monkey, mongoose, hedge hog etc. With the change in water quality of the river and adjoining ponds, the fish diversity also changed tremendously with time.

Gazetteer of 1883-4 mentions the presence of Mahsir [Barbus tor], Rahu [Labeo rohita], Batchwa [Entroplichthys vacha] species of fish which are rare today in Yamuna waters. Gazetteer of 1912 states that the Yamuna River, the canals, the big jhils and man-made tanks had the following principle varieties: Mahsir [Barbus tor], Rahu [Labeo rohita], Batchwa [Entroplichthys vacha], Mulley [Wallago Attu], Tengra [Macrones], Silund [Silundia gangetica], Mohi [Notopterus kapirat], Mirga [Cirrhina mrigala], Kalbans [Labeo kalbasu], Chilwa [Chela gora], Gunch [Bagarus yavelli]. Gazetteer [1976] mentions 65 species of fish available in river Yamuna, tanks, and ponds of Delhi. The different fish species covered the range of 41 genera and 17 families, belonging to 8 orders. Carps and catfish constituted the bulk of this fresh water fauna and were the most important commercial groups. Meenakshi Dhawale (2010)15 inthe Narratives of the Environment of Delhi mentions the presence of Gangetic dolphins downstream of Okhla barrage which are now found only in Ganga River.
