1. INTRODUCTION

The project namely “Dehri Crusher Stone Quarry” having an area of 2.0 ha at Khasra No.-20

near Village-Dehri, Tehsil- Kukshi, District- Dhar, State-Madhya Pradesh belongs to M/s Maa

Padmavati Stone Crusher, Proprietor Shree Sanjay Mulewa.

The basalt stone mining project is under ‘category-B2’ as per EIA Notification dated 14th

September 2006 and its subsequent amendments. Mining Plan sanctioned vide letter no.

2638/Mining Plan/N.K./2015, Indore dated 07/12/2017 under Rule no. - 42 of MP MMR, 1996

for lease period of 10 years only in favour of M/s Maa Padmavati Stone Crusher, Proprietor

Shree Sanjay Mulewa.

The Environment Management Plan (EMP) consists of all mitigation measures to minimize

adverse environmental impacts resulting from the activities of the project during operation. It

also delineates the environmental monitoring plan for compliance of various environmental

regulations. It also incorporates the steps to be taken in case of emergency such as accidents at

the sites including fire.

The Environment Management Plan (EMP) is a site specific plan developed to ensure that the

project is implemented in an environmental sustainable manner where all workers, understand

the potential environmental risks arising from the project and take appropriate actions to

properly manage that risk. EMP also ensures that the project implementation is carried out in

accordance with the design by taking appropriate mitigation actions to reduce adverse

environmental impacts during its life cycle. The plan outlines various activities that may

adversely impact the environment and recommends corrective measures required.

2. MITIGATION MEASURES INCORPORATED INTO THE PROJECT TO

MEET ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS

Annexure-II



A. MEASURES FOR MINIMIZING ADVERSE EFFECT ON WATER REGIME

There is no water body in the mine lease area.

Although, mining of basaltstone may not lead to noticeable change in quality of water.

Following water pollution control measures are proposed:

GARLAND DRAINAGE/EARTHEN MOUND

It is an opencast semi-mechanized manual mine, in which the working pits will be open

to sky, it is necessary that the rain water falling outside the edge limit of the working pit

will not be allowed to enter into the pit.

Mining activity will not be carried out during monsoon season to minimize water

pollution.

Retaining wall will be provided along the back filled pits to prevent escaping of fine

particles alongwith rain water.

During non-monsoon, due to intermittent rain, there is possibility of mixing of freshly

loosened material. As a mitigative measure, toe wall will be constructed along the

existing interburden dump areas.

(i) SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT

The topography of the area will not be largely changed in view of the proposed concurrent

reclamation. During the mining activity period, there is a possibility of mixing of freshly

disturbed material with the rain water. To take care of such happenings, retaining walls have

been provided along the backfilled pits and toe walls along the existing interburden dumps.

(ii) GROUND WATER MANAGEMENT



The water table in hills is usually very deep and does not have any relevance with mining

activities. However, concurrent restoration to original topography will not disturb the ground

water.

B. AIR POLLUTION CONTROL MEASURES

The method of mining is semi mechanized open cast manual operation which involved

controlled blasting and drilling. Hence, it is expected that the ambient air quality may slightly

change significantly dust particles get generated during various mining activities when become

air borne lead to increase in PM10 & PM2.5 level in the ambient air. The major source of dust

generation will be from transportation of material. However, following measures will be

adopted to minimize fugitive dust emission:

• Dust masks will be provided to the workers engaged at dust generation points like

excavations, loading and unloading points.

• The dust suppression measures like water spraying will be done at loading and

unloading locations and on kachha roads.

• The transport vehicles will be covered by tarpaulin covers.

• Overloading of trucks will be prevented.

• Ambient Air quality monitoring will be done time to time at project site and near by

villages.

C. NOISE POLLUTION CONTROL MEASURES

Mining shall be carried out semi-mechanized open cast manually with some conventional hand

tools & controlled drilling & blasting, hence, negligible possibility of vibration. Mineral from

pit head to road shall be transported manually. Excavator shall be deployed for the removal of

overburden & interburden only in day. Therefore, some noise level shall be observed during

mining operations and transportation of mineral by trucks.



The following mitigation measures will be adopted to keep the ambient noise levels well

within limits:

• Minimum use of horns and speed limit of 10 kmph in the village area.

• Timely maintenance of vehicles and their silencers to minimize vibration and sound.

• Vehicles will be PUC checked.

• Phasing out of old and worn out vehicles.

3. LAND

Land degradation and ecological disturbances generally occurs in open cast mining. Open cast

method of mining causes some land degradation and disturbs the ecology of the area. The

environment management plan, emphasis has been laid on restoring the ecology of the area as

much as possible. This has been made possible by planning the mine workings in the most

systematic, safe and scientific manners. Since the mine is located in hilly terrain, the impact on

land form or physiography will undergo radical changes due to the open cast mining. Land area

is likely to be degraded due to quarrying, dumping, roads, workshop, tailing pond/dam etc. In

order to prevent the environmental degradation of leased mine area and its surroundings, the

following measures shall be taken;

Mining is proposed by open cast semi-mechanized mining method. A total 100 no. of plants

will be planted. Minimum land will be used form in mining and allied activities. The planning

for mining will be done systematically by bench formation to minimize the land degradation as

per approved mine plan.

(i) POST MINING LAND USE

The area will be restored after fillings the benches by topsoil and waste material and will be

restored.



4. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

TOP SOIL MANAGEMENT

There is little top soil and mine waste approx 1% of the total OB generation. This will be stack

separately for back filling and reclamation purpose.

Describe briefly the arrangements made for top soil, mineral rejects and waste disposal

including precautions taken in selection of disposal site along with their respective quantity

likely to be generated for the five years.

No toxic and hazardous elements are present in the waste material.

5. BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT

(I). MEASURES TO CONTROL IMPACT ON FLORA

The area is basically hilly and it is a existing mine. Mining activity causes impact on flora due

to land degradation, deforestation, etc, however as the mining is restricted to very small area

there is no likelihood of any land degradation or deforestation being caused.

Since there is no important species in core zone, no adverse impact on flora is anticipated.

(II) MEASURES TO CONTROL IMPACT ON FAUNA

Mining activity causes impact on fauna due to land degradation, deforestation, etc, however as

the mining is restricted to very small area there is no likelihood of any land degradation or

deforestation being caused.

Negligible impact on fauna is anticipated.



6. AFFORESTATION PROGRAMME

Afforestation programme shall be started with the commencement of mining operation with

simultaneous clearing of land by spreading of clay lumps along 7.5 m barrier of lease boundary.

2.5m X 2.5m spacing with 0.6m depth have been suggested for sapling pits on which local

species will be planted.

7. OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY MEASURES

Occupational health and safety (OHS) is a cross-disciplinary area concerned with protecting the

safety, health and welfare of people engaged in work or employment. The goal of all

occupational health and safety programsist is to provide safe work environment. Occupational

Health & Safety measures result in improving the conditions under which workers are

employed and work. To control and minimize the risks at work place, proponent has been

framed Health, Safety and Environment Policy.

(i) SAFETY, HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT POLICY

Safety of both men and materials is accorded maximum priority in the mine. An occupational

health and safety policy has been framed with the following objectives.

• To improve working conditions and environment.

• To propagate safety measures and create safety consciousness among workmen,

supervisors and officials.

• To train workmen as well as the supervisors in their respective fields of operations.

• To reduce the scope of accidents and to aim at accident free performance.

• To adopt measures for improvement in health standards.



• To ensure that no long term effects on health due to industrial environment take place.

• To ensure that all statutory provisions relating to safety are followed.

The occupational health hazards at mine site areas under:

• Exposure to dust

• Noise Exposure

• Physical Hazards

These mainly impact on those working within the mine although health hazards can also impact

on local communities.

(ii) IMPLEMENTATION OF OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY

MEASURES

Proponent will implement the following safety measures:

• To depute dedicated safety team.

• Inspection and maintenance of equipment's and accessories.

• Periodic health checkup.

• Removal of unsafe conditions and prevention of unsafe acts.

• Detailed analysis of each and every incident.

• To provide standard PPEs and ensure its uses.

• Periodic inspection by internal and external safety experts.

• Celebrations of various safety events for awareness.

• Medical facilities & first aid boxes in the mine premises.

(iii) DISASTER MANAGEMENT AND RISK ASSESSMENT

The mining will go up to the economical depth and thereafter backfilling will commence to

restore the topography of the area. The mining faces shall be dressed properly because any



hanging boulders/loose material may create fatal accidents to the laborers while working in the

pit.

The area lies seismic zone III, therefore precautionary measures shall be adopted. Tin shaded

wooden houses shall be constructed in place of cemented houses in and around the area &

lessee shall provide the sufficient amount of funds for these activities. In the land slide prone

zone area, fast growing soil binding species shall be planted & cemented bunds shall be made

at the lower side so that minimum damage could be observed during land slide period.

Some of the aspects to be included in emergency plan are as follow:

• Organizational details including incident controller, site main controller, their duties &

other key personnel.

• Emergency Control Centre

• Communication centers & persons involved, call signs & list of telephone numbers.

• Availability of special emergency equipment e.g. heavy lifting gear, bulldozers, trucks,

special firefighting equipment.

• Details of voluntary organizations with names of organizers, telephone numbers,

resources etc.

• Humanitarian arrangements e.g. transport evacuation centers, emergency feeding,

treatment of injured, first aid, ambulances etc.

8. ENVIROMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM

The project proponent shall set up an Environmental Management Committee (EMC) as laid

down below and also proposes the Environmental Monitoring Plan for the regular monitoring

of the population load. The EMC has the responsibility for liasoning with state and central

governmental environmental authorities for enforcing environmental legislation, environmental

protection, and control.

The duties of the EMC will include the following:

• Implementing the Environmental Management Plan.



• Environmental monitoring of the project site and the surrounding area.

• Developing the greenbelt.

• Ensuring that standards for pollution control are well maintained

• Ensuring water use is minimized.

• To ensure proper funding for implementing EMP.

• Organizing meetings of the Environmental Management Committee.

The proponent will follow the standard methods for monitoring various environmental

parameters i.e. air, water, noise, and soil through accredited laboratory and submit the

compliance report as per EC conditions applicability.

9. SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

Social economic condition of area generally improves due to mining activity which create

additional employment opportunity for local habitants. Socio economic status of local populace

also improves by social activities undertaken by mine owners. Significant improvements

occurs in the area towards education, medical facilities and cultural aspects. Plantation

undertaken improves environmental conditions in the area and aesthetic beauty of the area.



(i) ECONOMIC REPERCUSSIONS OF CLOSURE OF MINE AND MANPOWER

RETRENCHMENTS

However, the closure of mine will have grave repercussion on the expectations of society since

the obvious advantages received will cease & the closure will directly affect their livelihood.

Land owners will cease to get compensation in lien of surface rights. The local habitant in

general will not feel comfortable due to closure of mine.

10. CONCEPTUAL MINE CLOSURE PLAN

The mining will commence from the top levels and advance towards lower levels. As the pit

shall reach the maximum economical depth, backfilling will commence so that terraced fields

will be formed. Reclamation will be undertaken in such a manner that original land use will be

restored.
