Rise in ambient temperature and Combating thermal pollution
Occurrences of spontaneous heating/ fire in the mine/coal stocks are negligible which may contribute to rise in Ambient temperature. However the following actions have been taken for dealing with fire/spontaneous heating.
(a) About 80% coal is produced by cutting through surface miners, thereby reducing the cracks & loose coal which ultimately prevent oxygen to enter into the coal seams, thereby reducing fire/spontaneous heating in the coal seam.
(b) Coal stock has been continuously reduced to have the minimum exposure of coal to the air. On 1st April’ 2012 coal stock was 20.69 lakhs te. which is reduced to 11.03 lakhs te. on 31st Oct. 2014.
(c) Firefighting arrangement is in place to deal with fire in the mine if any. A scheme/plan for control & dealing with fire is in place.
It is intended to increase the coal production by surface miner (which is considered as one of the eco-friendly system of mining) to about 90% of total production.
Noise pollution due to drilling and blasting
There is no Noise/ vibration pollution in this Mine. The noise & vibration is negligible in this mine as about 80% coal production comes from surface miner where no drilling, blasting or crushing is required. Hence no vibration is occurred. Further rest about 20% coal production where drilling/ blasting is involved, delay detonators is used for reducing the vibration. The Plants & machineries including HEMM are having in-built noise pollution control measures. The noise level is also measured fortnightly in four monitoring stations around the mine. The monitoring reports show that noise level are always within the prescribe limit.

Land acquisition should be made under LA Act and not under CB Act.
CB Act is enacted by the parliament specifically for acquisition of land by Govt. companies or PSUs where coal exists. This act has a provision for transfer of all rights including mining rights to the user agency at one go, where as in LA act when land is acquired for mining, a mining lease is required to be taken under MC Rules which lingers the process of acquisition and thereby delay the transfer of benefits to the affected people. However, the land under LA Act is also acquired where the land is required for development of infrastructures only.
No additional land is required.
People whose lands have been acquired should be brought under Swarna Yojana Package.
All persons who have been displaced after 15.05.2010 are covered under Swarna Yojana Package as per the conditions stipulated in the said package.

to Kaniah STPS and the remaining will be linked to other power houses of South
India and basket linkage.
The proposed Lingaraj OCP Expansion (Phase-III) (16.0 Mty / 20.0 Mty
Peak) (3.0 Mty / 7.0 Mty incremental) is based on Revised geological report on
exploration of Lingaraj block June 2000 (Annexure I). An area of about 28 ha only
has been proposed to be annexed in the southern side of the sanctioned mine
boundary (i.e. within safety zone of Lingaraj OC Expn. (13.0 Mty).
The project report of Lingaraj OC Expn. (16.0 Mty / 20.0 Mty Peak) has been
approved by MCL Board in its 116th meeting on 6/2/2010 at Kolkata.

2.2 PROJECT PROFILE 2.2.1 TYPE OF THE PROJECT
It is a running opencast project.
2.2.2 JUSTIFICATION FOR EXPANSION OF THE PROJECT
The overall demand of coal on MCL, based on coal linkage SLC (LT) by the
end of XI plan has been assessed to be 158.34 Mt against availability of 138.40 Mt.
Thus there is a gap of 19.94 Mt of coal.
(Fig. in Mt.)
Demand Availability Gap
Talcher coalfield 107.06 90.97 16.09
Ib Valley coalfield 51.28 47.43 3.85
Total : 158.34 138.40 19.94
There is possibility of recommending more additional linkages over and
above the already recommended linkages. The production from the proposed
Lingaraj OC Expn. Project will go towards meeting the gap between demand and
availability. Demand of coal from this coalfield is likely to rise further since more
number of TPS may be linked to this coalfield.

incremental)
Mining technology Considering the geo-mining conditions, shovel-dumper system of mining has been envisaged. However, blastless mining (e.g. contractual surface miners), where dust generation is minimal and negligible will be adopted in this project.
Existing shovel dumper mining is envisaged to continue for expansion project as the area is affected with multiple faults (33 nos.)
Coal winning, OB removal and transportation
For coal winning and transportation, shovel-dumper system and blast free mining (e.g. contractual (4 no.) surface miners) are used. For OB removal and transportation, shovel-dumper system is deployed (Annexure IV).
Existing shovel dumper system will be followed for the expansion project. Incremental coal production by blast free method using additional surface miner (2 No.). Existing shovel dumper system will be continued. It is envisaged to deploy 100 T and 50 T rear dumpers towards additional requirement to reduce fleet size. Both 50 T and 100 T dumpers are deployed in conjunction with 4.3 hydraulic backhoe. While 9.5 cum. Hydraulic shovel dumper would work with 100 T near dumper.

rear dumpers(49 nos.) for OB removal. Coal is extracted by
outsourcing agency by blast free technology (use of surface miner).
Considering presence of:
(i) Multiple coal seams (13 nos.)
(ii) Highly faulted structure (33 faults)
(iii) Step gradient (10o to 15o)
It is proposed to provide hydraulic excavator to offer more flexible
operation. 9.5 cum-hydraulic shovels and rear dumpers 100T are
envisaged towards the requirement of additional equipment. 9.5 cum
hydraulic shovels would be mainly deployed to extract top overburden
alongwith upper thick parting strata viz. partings above seam VII, seam
VIII and seam IX. Coal is proposed to be extracted by outsourcing
using blast free mining.
In this expansion project, additional requirement is assessed over the
above existing HEMM. This requirement is based on the production
schedule prepared, productivity of existing and proposed HEMM. The
details of total and phased requirement for the project with break-up of
existing and additional HEMM are given in the below table.

2.14 STRENGTHENING OF EXISTING TRANSPORTATION ROAD
Due to steep gradient of mine floor faults and present access road it is not
possible to lay the main haul road on mine floor. After decoaling upto seam II Bottom
in northern part it is proposed to extend the existing haul road duly filling the
decoaled area. Lower seams have to be brought to the nearest road level by
interbench ramps. Flank level roads are proposed to connect the various working
benches. Overburden from various benches would be transported along the bench
and connecting ramps to nearest level flank road either to external or internal dump.
Approved project report provided 50T rear dumpers for transportation of both
coal and overburden. In this expansion report, it is envisaged to deploy 100T and 50T
rear dumpers towards additional requirement to reduce the overall fleet size. Both
50T and 100T dumpers are deployed in conjunction with 4.3 hydraulic backhoe, while
9.5cum hydraulic shovels would work with 100T rear dumpers only.
About Rs.977.82 lakhs provision has been kept for making 100T dumpers
haul road to about 2.0 km length. Apart from this an amount of Rs.498.45 lakh for
50T dumpers haul road length of 2.0 km length.

Ground Water (Tubewell water and Dugwell water)
Samples (WD1, WD2, WD3, WD4 and WD5 ) have been collected from
ground water sources. The analysis shows that various physical and chemical
parameters are within the permissible limits of Drinking Water Standards (IS:10,500-
1991) except fluoride and magnesium in Hensmul Village tube water i.e 1.2 mg/l and
33 mg/l respectively which is just marginally crossing the permissible limit which may
be due to geo-genic of the rock formation; turbidity in dug well water at kandhal
village is 45 NTU due to mining interference and is temporary phenomenon ; TDS,
alkalinity at Rehrat village to methyl orange and calcium are 502 mg/l, 202 mg/l and
76 mg/l respectively which is just marginally crossing the permissible limit.

Surface Water (Pond water)
Samples, WS1, WS2 and WS3 were collected from pond waters of Hensamul
and Talabera villages respectively. The analysis show that various parameters are
within the limits of IS : 2296-1982 (Surface water, Class "C" : Tolerance limits for
surface waters used for drinking water source with conventional treatment followed
by disinfection).
3.4 Hydrogeology
Detailed hydro-geological investigation was not attempted at Talcher coalfield till
1981. Water level data were collected from exploratory boreholes by NCDC, GSI,
etc. The Central Ground Water Board had carried out pumping test in exploratory
drilling in 1973 at Anantaberini village. However, a detailed hydrogeological study was
carried out by the Hydrogeological Unit of CMPDI, Ranchi for Nandira block during
the period 1981 to 1984 covering eastern part of the Talcher coalfield. Subsequently,
a detailed hydrogeological study had been conducted by the Directorate of Mining &
Geology, Department of Steel and Mines, Govt. of Orissa for Gopalprasad block of
Talcher coalfield in 1990. The abstract of Hydrogeological studies carried out by
CMPDI, Ranchi in Talcher coalfield is given below:
(i) Detailed hydrological studies reveal that Singhara jhor proto-basin and
Bangaru jhor sub-basin are of 5th order streams draining into the Brahmani
river. The drainage density of Singhara jhor and Bangaru jhor basins are 1.75
and 1.52 km/sq.km and their stream frequencies are 2.09 and 1.83 per sq.km
respectively. Both the basins are morphometrically similar.
(ii) The annual total run-off in Singhara jhor is 332.45, 237.97 and 545.19 mm of
which the base flow accounts to 164.80, 90.91 and 167.25 mm in 1983, 1984
and 1985 respectively.
(iii) Ground water in the area occurs under both unconfined and confined
conditions. The weathered mantle, recent alluvium and laterites act as
unconfined aquifer or phreatic aquifer.
(iv) Hydrogeological studies at Talcher coalfield reveals that the following aquifers
are identified in the ascending order from the data of sub-surface geological
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 3, Page - 32
and ground water exploration studies of the past. Exploratory data for coal and
ground water have also been analysed and interpretated to understand the
disposition of aquifers.

From the above table, the aquifers in Talcher coalfield have been broadly
classified as shallow and deep aquifer and have been referred as unconfined and
confined respectively representing their mode of occurrence. The division between
confined and unconfined is entirely gradational. The term semi-confined is used for
the intermediate condition.
In the Talcher coalfield, ground water occurs in the porous colluvial material
and weathered mantle as well as in the joints, fissures and fractures. These are met
at shallow depths in the partly weathered rocks and deep seated fresh rocks. Though
shale, coal, mud stones, etc. act as confining horizon when it is sandwiched with
water bearing strata but the very nature of these confining horizon permits
considerable vertical flow. As these confining horizons have very poor hydraulic
conductivity in horizontal directions, these horizons also act as barrier boundaries
when they get juxtaposed with water bearing horizon because of geological
disturbance.
The large pore space in the fine grained sedimentary rocks provide storage for
huge quantities of water. The porosity of fine grained sediments decreases with depth
of deeper depositional environment.
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 3, Page - 33
Cemented sandstones and conglomerates have made sedimentary formation
hard and compact which offer very limited scope to be considered as aquifers in
themselves. When these formations are geologically disturbed by faulting, jointing and
fracturing, produces secondary porosity. This secondary porosity when it is saturated
with ground water, forms good aquifer.
As a rule, formations are found to become thinner and fine grained at
increasing distances from the source of sediments. These lateral gradation are of
great significance with respect to the occurrence and movement of ground water.
(v) The depth of water in pre-monsoon period ranges from less than 1.6 m (Jilinda
village) to about 10.70m (Ekadal village) below ground level in western parts
of and from less than 1.10 m (Deulbera village) to about 7.83 m (Kashipur
village) below ground level in the highly populated eastern parts of the
coalfield.
(vi) The depth of water in post-monsoon period ranges from less than 2.9 m
(Jilinda village) to about 11.50m (Kandhabarani village) below ground level in
western parts and from less than 1.60 m (Deulbera village) to about 13.5 m
(Kashipur village) below ground level in the highly populated eastern parts of
the coalfield.
(vii) The annual fluctuation of water levels range in 10 km buffer zone from
approximately 1 to 10 m in the area.
(viii) The water table configuration coincides with the topography of the area. The
altitude of water table in the western parts is 134 m and in the eastern parts is
101 m above mean sea level with an average hydraulic gradient of 0.3
percent.
(ix) The ground water in the area moves in the general direction of north-east from
south-west. There are a few localized ground water troughs and mounds and
the watershed boundaries in general coincide with the ground water divides.
(x) The average hydraulic conductivity of unconfined aquifer for the study area is
2.83 m per day. The discharge ranges from 0.54 to 94.00 cubic meters per
day. The drawdown varies from 0.37 to 3.20 m on an average pumping of 65
minutes. The specific capacity varies from 0.048 to 13.46 cum/hr/m of draw-
down. The specific yield of the area is 4 percent.
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 3, Page - 34
(xi) For the confined aquifer, the peizometric head is at 170 m in the western and
80 m above mean sea level in the eastern parts. The piezometric head
fluctuation is around 1.4 meters annually.
(xii) The pumping tests conducted on the well tapping confined aquifers indicate
the transmissivity range of 1 to 20 sq.meters per day and the storativity ranges
from 4.5 x 10-4 to 7.8 x 10-4. The hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer ranges
from 0.1 to 1.5 meters per day. The discharge varies from 33 to 316 cubic
meters per day with a drawdown of 5 to 30 meters under pumping conditions.
(xiii) The recharge and discharge zones have been demarcated on the basis of
principles of fluid potential distribution. The auto-flow conditions exist
essentially in the discharge zone but the entire discharge zone is not an auto-
flow zone but for topography. The average auto-flow discharge is about 40
cubic meters per day.
(xiv) The evapo-transpiration as calculated was 673.55, 368.64 and 755.43 mm in
1983, 1984 and 1985 respectively. Ground water evapo-transpiration of the
area were estimated as 37.01, 36.18 and 54.29 mm in the ratios of 5.5, 10 and
7 percent to the total evapo-transpiration in 1983, 1984 and 1985 respectively.
Precipitation is the only source of ground water recharge and the values were
estimated as 230.81, 78.1 and 285.74 mm in 1983, 1984 and 1985
respectively.
The ground water temperature of unconfined aquifer varies from 22O to 30OC,
whereas of confined aquifers, it varies between 32O and 48OC.
� Present ground water scenario of 10 km radius of the area
Present ground water scenarios of the area are assessed from the open
dugwells used for domestic water consumption. The selected hydrograph stations in
and around Lingaraj OC Expn. Project are given in Fig.-3.9. The water level in these
wells represent hydraulic head of water table aquifers. The hydraulic heads of all
observed wells are calibrated to reduced level. The hydraulic head of all hydrograph
stations are connected to construct water table contour map. Water table contour
map for Lingaraj OC Expn. Project is given in Fig.-3.9.
It is observed from the Fig.-3.9 that the water table configuration of the area
coincides more or less with surface topography. The altitude of water table in the
western part of the project area is 130 m above MSL, which slopes down to 94m
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 3, Page - 35
above MSL in the eastern part of the area and 71 m in the south eastern part of the
area.
The ground water level recorded for the pre-monsoon season from the open
dugwell in the buffer zone of the project area range from 1.0 to 11.7 m bgl whereas
the ground water level in the project area in Deulbera village (core zone) ranges from
1.9 to 10.2 m bgl. Similarly for the post-monsoon season, ground water level
recorded from the open dugwell in in the buffer zone of project area ranges from
1.62 to 10.7 m bgl whereas the ground water level in the project area in Deulbera
village (core zone) ranges from 1.25 to 3.67 m bgl.
It is also observed from the Fig.-3.9 and Fig.-3.10 Based on these contour
maps, there are a few localized ground water troughs and mounds and watershed
boundaries generally coincide with ground water divides. There is a ground water
divide orienting north-west to south-east between Manikamara (Krishnachandrapur)
to Dasanali villages. This groundwater divide acts as drainage divide of the area.
This ground water and drainage divide make a part of ground water movement as
well as a part of surface run-off towards the north-west contributing to Bangaru jhor
and balance flow towards Nandira jhar.
For the purpose of understanding impact of mining activity on groundwater in
the vicinity, a dug well from Deulbera village (core zone) has been selected for year
on year fluctuation study (figure-3.8). Based on the data, it can be inferred that over
the years ground water levels in Deulbera village (core zone) have minutely
decreased and thus mining activity has little influence on the groundwater. However
as observed from ground water levels in dugwell in village Natedi (buffer zone) show
increasing trends in groundwater level (figure 3.11).

Flora and fauna studies were carried out during May 2013 to assess the list of
terrestrial plant and animal species that occurs in the core area and the buffer area from
proposed project site. Separate lists of all plant species of the core and buffer areas
were prepared based on the plant species encountered during the study period. All
observed Flora and Fauna species were counter checked with the list of Odisha state
critically endangered species and endangered species of flora and fauna. All observed
avi-fauna were counter checked with the IUCN Red list updated 2011 which contains
list of 147 threatened birds which include 14 critical, 15 endangered, 54 vulnerable and
64 near threatened species. Aquatic environment study was carried out by observing
any macrophytes grow in and around or floating or emergent condition on the lentic
(stagnant) or lotic (running) water bodies of the buffer zone.

3.9.5 GENERAL REMARK
Elephants are the only migratory mammals in the area coming from distant
places during forest fire. However, it is not a common migratory route for wild
animals.In the project area, forest area was noticed as fragmented patches due to
human habitation pressure in both core and buffer zone. The nature of the forest is
open canopied dry deciduous type. At many places, the forest because of biotic;
interference has been converted to scrubland. Biotic pressure has also affected the
natural wild life fauna of the area. The area as revealed from the survey does not
support any rare and endangered flora and fauna.
The area as revealed from the survey does not support any rare and
endangered flora and fauna.
3.9.6 BROAD PLAN FOR CONSERVATION OF THE FAUNA WHICH USED THE HABITAT OF THE STUDY AREA
The report reveals the presence of few wild animals in core and buffer zones
under different Schedules of the Wild life (Protection) Act 1972. All such animals are
found in other parts of the State. The area does not have any endangered species.
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter …3 , Page - 104
However, for conservation important species present under different Schedules,
broad management strategies have been suggested.
The records of faunal species collected during the survey were based on
both direct and indirect evidences. As per the informal discussions with the local
people, the schedule I and II fauna such as Golden jackel, Canis aureus, Juncle cat,
Felis chaus, and Phyton, Python molurus were not very frequently seen in the Project
area.
No threatened or endangered flora species are located within the core and
buffer zone of the project area.
Faunal Impacts were assessed in regard to the following issues. Habitat Loss
and Wildlife Migration Patterns. No significant habitat loss is anticipated Potential
wildlife crossing zones were not identified by experts of Ecology, Flora and Fauna.
There was no residential birds or wild mammals evidenced by the absence of nests
of birds resting or hiding places of mammals. Observed avi-fauna in the core area
were common birds.

ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS &
MITIGATION MEASURES 4.1 ASSESSMENT OF IMPACT AND CONTROL MEASURES ON
AIR QUALITY
INTRODUCTION
The impacts of mining and its allied activities have been assessed in respect
of air, water, noise, land resources, socio-economic bio-diversity, etc.
4.1.1 AIR POLLUTION IMPACT ASSESSMENT
Dust (PM10 and PM2.5) is the major emission from mining activities in coalfield
area. Impact has been predicted for air quality taking PM10 and PM2.5 into
consideration in and around the project area. The impact assessment has been
carried out considering with the following points:
(i) Calculation of rate of generation of PM10 and PM2.5 using empirical
formulae and emission factors for different mining operations developed
by USEPA & Environment Australia:2001
(ii) Air quality impact prediction (AQIP) using Industrial Source Complex
Short Term Model (ISCST3) (Revised), USEPA, Seattle, Washington.
(iii) The AQIP modeling has been carried out for the peak capacity of 20.0
MTY (incremental 8.43 Mty).
4.1.2 CALCULATION OF RATE OF GENERATION OF AIR POLLUTION FROM LINGARAJ OC EXPN PROJECT USING EMPIRICAL EQUATION
Activity-wise emission rates have been estimated using the above mentioned
empirical formulae and emission factors. The formulae have been used to evaluate
the emission rate for the mining activities and locations e.g. drilling, haul road,
transportation road, loading, unloading, and dozing on dumps, etc. Based on the
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 4, Page - 2

4.2 ASSESSMENT OF IMPACT AND CONTROL MEASURES ON HYDROLOGY & HYDRO-GEOLOGY
The surface water has intricate relationship between precipitation and ground
water. Knowledge of mining impact on ground water is requisite while deciding and
designing to protect surface water bodies. Predicted mining impact on water is
broadly classified as:
4.2.1 QUANTITATIVE IMPACT & CONTROL MEASURES ON WATER
� Proposed changes and impacts on hydrology
The following changes in hydrology have been assessed:
� Siltation and chocking of water courses resulting in scarcity of surface
water and flooding problem in the area.
� Reduction and changes in storm run-off or surface run-off water
courses.
� Declining of ground water level resulting early drying-up of surface
water bodies like ponds, lakes and stream flows.
The following control measures have been assessed for the above said
changes on hydrology:
4.2.1.1 CONTROL MEASURES FOR DISRUPTION OF NATURAL DRAINAGE NETWORK LOCATED IN THE CORE ZONE
� Control measures for disruption of natural drainage net work
located in the core zone No major drainage fall under the premises of Lingaraj OCP and none
will be disrupted due to expansion project. However some tributaries to
Bangaru jhar may be affected as they come in the area of expansion.
The total catchment area of the Bangaru jhar before entering into the
mining area is estimated at 12.50 km2. The general gradient of the
Bangaru jhar is estimated as 1:286 in the proposed expansion project.
The run-off water from the stream will be diverted progressively during
mining operation permission from the flood and irrigation diversion,
Department of Water Resources, Govt. of Odisha is under process for
diversion of Bangaru jhor stream.

Job No.706111 Chapter … 4, Page - 9
4.2.1.2 CONTROL MEASURES TO PROTECT SURFACE WATER BODIES FROM SILTATION AND CHOKING OF WATER COURSES RESULTING IN SCARCITY OF SURFACE WATER AND FLOODING PROBLEM IN THE AREA
The foot drain & catch drain are being made for smooth disposal of storm
water from external overburden dump, which is extremely essential to avoid gully
formation on the dump body and also siltation problem of the nearby natural drains.
These drain collects run-off from dump and direct it to settling tank / sedimentation
pond before discharge to nearby natural water courses. Sedimentation tank is
periodically cleaned to avoid siltation of the drainage.
Drainage arrangement for internal OB dumps collect run-off through foot
drain and divert it to mine sump for pumping. During mining period, the drainage
pattern of the reclaimed area will be such that the run-off will be diverted to final void
of the quarry as a measure for water harvesting. To both external and internal
dumps besides biological reclamation, the grass plantation is being made to prevent
the movement of loose sediments from these dumps. The TSS 100m at upstream
and downstream of the mine discharge is recorded during routine monitoring is given
below:

4.2.1.3 CONTROL MEASURES TO PROTECT SURFACE WATER BODIES FROM REDUCTION AND CHANGES IN STORM RUN-OFF OR SURFACE RUN-OFF WATER COURSES
Garland drain is provided around the excavation boundary to guard against
mine inundation due to rainfall run-off or storm run-off (Plate-VIII). Drains are
provided around coal dumps to collect run-off for diverting into sedimentation pond
before discharge into natural water course. Open masonry drains are provided for
handling the run-off from the built-up area. Mine water generated from mining area
by direct rainfall will be pumped time to time for safe mine operation after meeting the
internal requirement. The mine water in the excavation or quarry area is estimated
for monsoon and lean season as 2.05 and 1.81 Mm3/annum respectively. The mine
water in the excavation or quarry area is the average make-up water due to direct
precipitation and seepage from strata and surrounding, etc. The existing main
pumps pump out water in different stages of excavation based on considering a day
of peak rainfall in monsoon in excess of the capacity of the sump. The pumped mine
water will be discharged to the natural drain during monsoon after treatment to avoid
reduction of storm run-off in stream flow for downstream users.
4.2.1.4 CONTROL MEASURES TO PROTECT DECLINING OF GROUND WATER LEVEL FROM EARLY DRYING UP OF SURFACE WATER BODIES LIKE PONDS, LAKES & STREAM FLOW
There is an intricate relationship between surface water and ground water. In
the monsoon time, till the aquifer attains its original ground water level, the surface
water bodies like stream flow, ponds & lakes recharge the aquifer. As soon as the
ground water recoups and attains its level, the groundwater contributes water to the
surface water bodies. After post-monsoon period, this process is reversed again as
the ground water level gets lowered from the original level. This recharge and
discharge system of the area brings surface water and ground water relationship
complicated. The water balance studies of this area unties the above said intricate
relationship of surface and ground water.
Declining of ground water level due to mining is generally to the limited extent
around excavation or quarry area. The phenomenon of lowering of water level is
temporary. The annual replenishable rainfall recharge balance of 146.47 Mm3/annum
in this area signifies that the rainfall recharge recoups ground water level every year.
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 4, Page - 11
Backfilling once reached to its predetermined level seepage from the excavation
zone will considerably be reduced; thereby declining of ground water will also be
reduced around the mine. The effort will be made to store mine make-up water in
different sumps or lower benches of the mine as a measure for rain water harvesting.
Zero discharge concept is being / will be adopted for domestic and industrial effluent
by recycling of the same. The treated excess mine water during monsoon period will
be discharged to nearby natural drain for recharging the ground water in the same
basin of the area.
4.2.2 QUALITATIVE IMPACT ON WATER
Mining and its related activities create water quality problems. These
problems are identified and the likely sources of water pollution from this project
along with the type of pollutants are follows:
(a) Sanitary (domestic) estimated quantity … 2.28 Mld.
(b) Industrial wastewater from workshop -- Suspended solids, oil & grease.
(c) Waste water from mine -- Suspended solids of coal, clay and oil.
(d) Surface run-off passing through coal stockpiles -- Suspended solids
(e) Storm water from leasehold area and built-up area -- Suspended solids.
4.2.2.1 EFFECTIVE WATER POLLUTION CONTROL MEASURES ON QUALITY WILL BE TAKEN AT THE PROPOSED LINGARAJ OC EXPN. PROJECT KEEPING THE FOLLOWING POINTS IN VIEW
� Sufficient safeguards during the planning stage to make the project eco-
friendly from water pollution control point of view.
� Recycling of wastewater after appropriate treatment to achieve "zero
discharge" to the extent possible at some sources.
� Conforming to the limits of the Environment (Protection) Amendment
Rules, 2000 (•Schedules-VIŽ, General Standards for discharge of
environmental pollutants, Part-A : Effluents) for quality of the treated

4.2.2.2 SANITARY(DOMESTIC) WASTEWATER
This expansion project will generate additional waste water quantity of 128
m3/day. The total water requirement for domestic use is estimated as 2860 m3/day.
The necessary fund of rupees twenty seven lakh and thirteen thousand has been
given for this expansion project. About 80% of this consumption will contribute to
sanitary wastewater which will be treated mainly for total suspended solids (TSS) and
bio-chemical oxygen demand (BOD). Therefore, depending upon the pollution load in
the domestic effluent, a suitable treatment scheme with sedimentation tank for TSS
and aeration facilities for BOD is proposed (Fig.-4.1) and will be commissioned for
the project. Treated water will be utilised for watering the plants. Domestic Effluent
Treatment Plant (DETP) has been provided for the colony as well as for the survice
building.
4.2.2.3 INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER FROM WORKSHOP
This expansion project will generate an additional quantity of 140 m3/day.
The necessary additional fund of rupees twenty one lakh forty four thousand has
been awared for effluent treatment plant. This industrial wastewater treatment plant
consists of pre and post-settling chambers/tanks and oil and grease trap (OGT). The
treated effluent from this plant (Fig.-4.2) is collected in a tank for recycling the same
for industrial use resulting in ‘zero discharge’ . The sludge collected from the settling
chamber is disposed off as landfill in the decoaled area. Oil and grease manually
reclaimed from the trap is stored in drums safely for disposal through auction. Oily
sludge is disposed off in the impervious layer lined pit.

4.2.2.4 WASTE WATER FROM MINE
Mine discharge water is collected in a sump pit located in the mine floor from
where it is pumped out and diverted to mine discharge treatment plant (Fig.-4.1)
(MDTP) which is consisting of oil and grease trap and sedimentation pond(s) with
chemical dozing arrangement to arrest suspended solids and oil and grease. Then,
treated water is used for dust suppression in haul road and CHP besides washing of
dumpers and/or dozers in workshop. The sludge collected from the pond(s) is
utilized as landfill in the decoaled area. The oily sludge from oil and grease trap(s) is
disposed off in the impervious layer lined pit. Oil and grease recovered manually
from the trap(s) will be stored in drums safely for disposal through auction. Effort are
being made to keep the balance make up water in the lower benches of the mine as
a measure for “Rain Water Harvesting” . In unusual situations during monsoon,
mine discharge 13934.42 m3/day will be allowed to go as recharge / run-off in the

4.2.2.5 SURFACE RUN-OFF
(a) From OB dump
The surface run-off from the dump bodies is collected in garland drains of
appropriate size provided at the foot. The foot drain will carry water to a
sedimentation pond from where the overflow is directed into natural drain through
controlled discharge outlets. The overflow will be monitored regularly for TSS to
enable corrective actions before water meets the natural water ways.
(b) From coal dumps
Drains are provided around the coal dumps to collect run-off for diverting into
sedimentation ponds before discharge into natural water courses.
4.2.2.6 STORM WATER
The area slopes generally towards north east to east. To prevent inrush of
precipitation run-off from the outside area to the quarry, storm water drains of
suitable dimensions are provided at appropriate locations with outlets to natural water
courses. Settling tanks/ponds are provided in the storm water drains at convenient
locations to take care of suspended solids. Both storm water drains and settling
tanks/ponds are cleaned periodically to avoid choking of drains & malfunctioning of
tanks/ponds.
Open masonry drains of appropriate dimensions with outlets to nearby
natural water courses are provided for handling the run-off from the built-up area.
The above drains are cleaned periodically to avoid choking.
4.2.3 WATER BALANCE
The project falls in the eastern part of Talcher Coalfield. Water balance of the
above project cannot be studied in isolation without considering water balance of the
area as a whole. Here, water balance for the area has been highlighted in addition to
water balance for the project.
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 4, Page - 16
4.2.3.1 WATER BALANCE FOR EASTERN PART OF TALCHER COALFIELD
(a) Water balance
Water balance for the area is based on the hydro-geological studies
conducted in the eastern part of Talcher Coalfield by the Hydro-geological Unit of
CMPDI, Ranchi. It is a quantitative statement of the balance between total water
gains and losses during a particular period of time for the area concerned. Water
balance considers all waters, surface and sub-surface, entering or leaving or stored
within a basin. Further, water entering a basin is equated to water leaving a basin,
plus or minus the changes in the basin storage. For water balance study, the
equation used is:
Pa = Ru + ET � �S g Where: Pa = Precipitation, mm
Ru = Stream flow, mm
ET = Evapo-transpiration, mm
�S g = Change in ground water storage, mm
Using the above equation, the annual water balance of Talcher Coalfield
(East) is given below:
Table 4.5:- Annual water balance of Talcher Coalfield (East)

Note: (+) Sign indicates surplus in ground water storage (-) Sign indicates deficit in ground water storage
(b) Water table in the area
The depth of water in pre-monsoon period ranges from less than 1.6 m
(Jilinda village) to about 10.70m (Ekadal village) below ground level in western parts
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 4, Page - 17
and from less than 1.10 m (Deulbera village) to about 7.83 m (Kashipur village) below
ground level in the highly populated eastern parts of the coalfield.
The depth of water in post-monsoon period ranges from less than 2.9 m
(Jilinda village) to about 11.50m (Kandhabarani village) below ground level in western
parts and from less than 1.60 m (Deulbera village) to about 13.5 m (Kashipur village)
below ground level in the highly populated eastern parts of the coalfield.
Further, the annual fluctuation of water levels range in 10 km buffer zone from
approximately 1 to 7 m in the area
(c) Observations
Considering rainfall, the changes in ground water storage from the above
table and water table of the area, the following observations are made:
� As the average rainfall in the area is 1257 mm, there would be a surplus
in the ground water storage as evident from the annual water balance
given in Table-4.4. So the possibility of drastic fluctuation of water table
is minimum.
� Withdrawal of water from mines in general and opencast mines in
particular has least impact on the ground water storage except in a
drought condition when the annual rainfall comes down to a level of
655.60 mm as it has happened in 1984.
� A number of U/G and opencast OC mines are in operation for past
couple of years and there is no adverse effect in the area till date.

4.2.4 IMPACT OF OPENCAST AND UNDERGROUND COAL MINES ON
GROUND WATER RESOURCE WITH IN THE BUFFER ZONE
Lingaraj OC Expn. project is situated in the south-eastern part of the Talcher
Coalfield (Plate No.I). The topography of the area is gently undulated. The general
slope is towards north. The elevation of the area varies from 85 to 120 m above
MSL. Local drainage is controlled by a small seasonal nullah flowing generally
towards north and discharging into the north-south. The Brahmani river passes at a
distance of roughly 3 km east of the project area.
The mean temperature recorded at IMD, Angul during winter season varies
from 6.7 to 34.9oC (December to February) whereas mean temperature during pre-
monsoon cyclone season ranges from 10.6 to 45.5oC (March to May). Generally,
humidity is highest in the month of August and least in the month of March or April.
The average relative humidity varies from 31 to 88%. The average annual rainfall of
the area as recorded for a period from 1980 to 2012 is about 1257 mm.
The geological exploration of Lingaraj block reveals that the Talchir formation
is not encountered in the block. Khararbari formation is represented of medium to
coarse grained pale, yellowish massive sandstones, loosely cemented by claying
matrix, thin shale bands and coal seams (Seam-I). Almost entire column of Barakar
formation is available in the block. The basal conglomeritic horizon is overlain by a
thick sequence of fine to course grained grayish feldspathic sand stones, gray to dark
gray shales, carbonaceous shales, thick coal seams, etc. Twelve coal seams of the
coalfield one available in these horizons. These coal seams are Seam-II to XIII in
ascending order.
The strike of the bed in Lingaraj block is in east-west direction. It takes NW
swing and finally to NE-SE in eastern part in the southern part of the block. The dip
of the strata varies from 3o to 12o towards north. Structurally the area is traversed by
33 steeply dipping (75o) normal faults traversing the block. The throw of these faults
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 4, Page - 25
varies widely from less than 5.0 m to 250m. In general, strike of faults is in along E-
W and NW-SE.
All the 12 seams namely Seam(s) - II (Bot), II, III, IVA, IVB, V, VIA, VIB, VII,
VIII, IX, X, XI, XII and XII are mineable. Mineable reserve in this block is estimated
as 348.81 Mt. The ultimate working depth of the mine is about 273m.
Hydro-geological set-up of area The Hydrogeological Unit of CMPDI has studied hydrogeological set-up of Talcher
coalfield. In this area, the ground water occurs in the porous granular alluvial material and
weathered mantle as well as in the joints, fissures and fractures. These structures make the
porosity of the sediment to decrease with depth due to cemented nature of sandstone and
conglomerates. Ground water in the area occurs under both unconfined and confined
hydraulic conditions. The weathered mantle, recent alluvium act as unconfined aquifer or
phreatic aquifer.
The confined aquifer named in the order of superposition as Karharbari, Basal,
Lower Barakar, Middle Barakar and Upper Barakar aquifers. These aquifers mainly consist of
conglomerates and sandstones, which are interbedded with shales and coal seams as
aquitards and aquicludes.
The determination of aquifer characteristics of unconfined aquifer was carried out
by the pumping tests in dug wells by CMPDI around Lingaraj OC project. It is noted from the
pumping test data that the non-pumping water level ranges from 3.48 to 4.44 m.bgl. The
draw-down varies from 1.18 to 2.55 m and discharge ranges from 28 to 33 m3/day. The
specific capacity ranges from 0.504 to 1.45 m2/hr/m of draw-down. The average hydraulic
conductivity of unconfined aquifer is 2.13 m/day. The specific yield of the aquifer material is
4%.
Aquifer parameters for confining porous media were computed by analyzing the
pumping test data of the exploratory wells of CGWB and CMPDI around Lingaraj OC expn.
project. It is noted from the pumping test data that the piezometric head is 7.4m below
ground level. The transmissivity of the confining aquifer ranges between 1.64 to 20.18
m2/day and the storativity is 0.00078. The discharge varies from 33 to 31 m3/day with a draw-
down of 5 to 19.65 m. The average hydrauilic conductivity of the aquifer is 0.892 m/day.
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 4, Page - 26
Water demand & management for the project
Peak water demand for this project has been assessed as 2860 m3/day for potable
and 5730 m3/day for industrial and fire fighting. Potable water is drawn from the Brahmani
river through the Integrated Water Supply Scheme (IWSS) of Talcher Coalfield. Water
demand for industrial and fire fighting is met from the treated mine discharge water.
Mine discharge
Three underground working mines, one abandoned underground mine and six
opencast working mines surround the project. The mining operation has created huge voids
of depressions. These voids or depressions are acting like micro-basins which form as
storehouse of water. This water has to be dewatered from time to time or constantly for safe
mining operation as "mine discharge water". This mine water is the combined water storage
of rainfall run-off and recharge, which is stored either in the working or abandoned mines and
decoaled voids and/or underground goaves. The mine water discharge for both underground
and opencast mines is presently estimated as 18.49 Mm3/annum for the buffer zone of the
project.
Average quantity of final discharge to natural drain is about 13934 m3/day in unusual
situations in rainy season. In general, every effort will be made to totally recycle/reuse the
treated effluents to the extent possible by keeping the make of water in different sumps or
low-lying area.
Water balance study
Water balance study was carried out within the area of 10 km radius from Lingaraj
OC project. The abstract of water balance is given below for impact analysis.
� Hydro-geological budget for buffer zone (including core zone)
(i) Estimation of ground water recharge through rainfall infiltration
Total annual recharge from all sources : 146.47 Mm3
(a) Recharge through formation : 51.22 Mm3 (b) Recharge through other sources : 64.57 Mm3
(c) Recharge as mine inflow (for all 10 mines) : 30.68 Mm3
(ii) Estimation of annual ground water draft : 65.24 Mm3
(a) Present ground water draft : 49.06 Mm3 (b) Future ground water draft : 16.18 Mm3
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 4, Page - 27
Estimation of ground water balance : 81.23 Mm3 (Total annual recharge from all sources -- Annual ground water draft)
� Hydrologic budget for core zone Annual rainfall recharge : 2.12 Mm3 Annual estimated ground water draft : 2.08 Mm3
Estimation of ground water balance : 0.04 Mm3 (Annual rainfall recharge -- Annual ground water draft)
From above water balance studies, it is estimated that there is a surplus water
available per annum from ground water recharge after catering to the future requirement in
the buffer zone and core zone.
Impact of mining on hydro-geological regime
Lingaraj OC Expn. Project is surrounded by four underground and five opencast
mines within the area of 10 km radius from the project. This area is sustained by an average
annual rainfall of 1257 mm. The annual rainfall recharge and ground water draft are
estimated as 146.47 Mm3 and 65.07 Mm3 respectively for this area. Considering the hydro-
geological set-up of the area, the ground water or strata seepage for all the mines is
estimated as 18.69 Mm3. The estimated annual mine inflow including this project is 30.68
Mm3. It is observed that the mine water of 18.49 Mm3 is dewatered as the mine discharge
water to the natural drain. This mine inflow water is the mine operation induced or
accelerated additional rainfall recharge besides rainfall recharge (146.47 Mm3) to the area.
This mine inflow water has to be dewatered periodically or constantly for safe mining
operation. Moreover, it is found from the water balance study that the annual replenishable
rainfall recharge comes to about 81.71 Mm3 (Fig.-4.3) after considering mine discharge,
domestic as well as cultivation requirements of the area. The estimated maximum radius of
influence from the available hydrogeological parameters is 795m. The cumulative impact of
mine withdrawal / mine discharge and zone of influence for the area were studied from water
level data from regular monitoring of water level in the open dug well of the core zone (nearer
to the mine) at Deulbera village. The water level data plot is given in Fig.4.4-4.5 Hydrologic
budget of the core zone reveals that the extraction of ground water by mining is less than the
annual rainfall recharge.
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 4, Page - 28
Conclusions
The following conclusions are drawn from the above study:
-- Mining operation has created voids or depressions, which are inducing
or accelerating rainfall recharge and run-off in the mining area.
-- After considering mine discharge, domestic as well as cultivation
requirements, the annual replenishable rainfall recharge comes to
about 81.71 Mm3/annum.
-- Maximum effort will be made to recycle or reuse the treated effluents
totally to the extent possible by keeping the make of water in different
sumps or low lying area of the project. In unusual situations during
monsoon, mine discharge water is allowed to go as recharge/ run-off in
the same basin of the area.
-- No adverse impact on water level of open dug well is observed due to
cumulative withdrawal of mine water.

4.3 NOISE QUALITY 4.3.1 NOISE IMPACT ASSESSMENT
The major adverse impacts during pre-mining and mining phases are
generation of obnoxious levels of noise & vibrations which also spread in
neighbouring communities.
The other impacts are occupational health hazards, damage to structures,
disruption in wildlife, etc.
� NOISE PRODUCING SOURCES
The sources of noise will be:
� Drilling operation in coal and OB.
� Blasting for overburden and coal.
� Operation of HEMMs
� Operation of equipment in CHP, workshop, etc.
The noise associated with mining activities may be classified into three types: � Continuous
� Intermittent
� Impulse
� IMPACT OF NOISE
The workmen associated with the operation of HEMMs, etc. will experience a
noise level above stipulated 90 dB (A) [DGMS Circular, No.18 (Tech.) of
1975] for more than 4-4.5 hours per shift. Unless suitable mitigatory
measures are taken, high noise pollution will have impact on the workmen. It
is worthwhile to mention that intermittent and impulse noises are considered
to be less dangerous than continuous noise due to the short exposure
duration except under the situation when the level exceeds 115 dB (A).
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 4, Page - 32
4.3.2 NOISE POLLUTION CONTROL MEASURES
The following measures shall be taken:
� Proper designing of plant & machinery by providing in-built mechanisms
like silencers, mufflers and enclosures for noise generating parts and
shock absorbing pads at the foundation of vibrating equipment.
� Routine maintenance of equipment.
� Enclosures for crusher house, etc.
� Rational deployment of noise generating plant and machinery.
� Greenbelts around the quarry, infrastructure sites, service building area
and township besides avenue plantation on both sides of the roads to
maintain noise level at night time within the limit for the inhabited
localities situated at a very close proximity.
� Locating township away from noise centre.
� HEMMs with sound proof cabins.
� Chute linings in CHP.
� Provision of isolation for vibrating equipment (both fixed and mobile)
foundation.
� Personal protective devices to all the persons working in high noise
areas.
� Regular monitoring of noise levels at various points.
4.4 RISKS AND HAZARDS
Risks and hazards arise mainly from blasting and mine occupational activities
and are well established.
4.4.1 IMPACT ON BLASTING VIBRATION
Blasting may affect the mineworkers as well as people residing in the vicinity
of mine and dependent upon the type & quantity of explosives used pit geology,
topography and confinement of the blast.
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 4, Page - 33
� Measures for safe blasting
Due attention will be given to the following factors:
(a) All provisions of Coal Mines Regulations will be followed.
(b) Overcharging will be avoided and quantity of explosive will be decided
as per conditions imposed by DGMS.
(c) Stemming material to be used is sand. However, the drill cuttings and
chips of triangular shape can be used as an effective stemming material
with proper packing.
(d) Use of millisecond delay detonators that are initiated by shock tube
initiation system, between rows and between holes in the same row.
(e) Blasting will be done in day time during the shift change over period as
per requirement. However, the frequency of blasting will depend upon
the availability of land (tenancy in particular), DGMS permission for use
of explosive, meteorological condition, geo-mining condition and
method of mining.
(f) Before blasting is done, warning sound is given so that people can
move to safe places.
4.4.2 BLASTING AND VIBRATION CONTROL MEASURES
� Proper conformation to measures for safe blasting as mentioned above,
to avoid damage to any structure or annoyance to the people in the
colony area or neighbouring villages.
� Proper design factor will be taken while constructing various structures
for stability against vibration.
� A blasting danger zone will be kept around the periphery of the quarry.
This zone will be kept free from village habitation and community
infrastructure and thus impact of vibration after blasting on the surface
structures is avoided.
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 4, Page - 34
� Controlled blasting will be done near built-up areas and surface
features, as and when required.
� Adoption of present day technology of use of site mixed slurry (SMS)
explosives.
4.5 IMPACT ON SOCIO ECONOMIC PROFILE
The major adverse impact is the displacement and rehabilitation /
resettlement of affected people including change in culture, heritage & related
features. The crime and illicit activities also prop-up due to sudden economic
development of the area.
4.5.1 SOCIAL IMPACT
� POPULATION GROWTH
Skilled manpower required for the project may not be available in the area.
Only semi-skilled and unskilled workers will be available from the local
population. So people will migrate to this segment both from within and
outside the district as well as the state due to creation of new employment
opportunities.
� EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES
A number of educational institutes are already there in the buffer zone and its
neighbourhood. The facilities already provided in the neighbouring projects
will cater to the need of this project. So migration of population will not strain
the local educational facilities already available. Further, the educational
institutes owned by MCL are also accessible to local population.
� HEALTHCARE FACILITIES
The coal company has a number of healthcare centres including a well
equipped Regional Hospital and a specialised “referral” hospital in the
coalfield area. Provision of healthcare facilities have been provided in the
project report. Healthcare facilities have been provided in the neighbouring
projects. The above facilities will cater to the need of employees of this
project. The local people can also avail these healthcare facilities.
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 4, Page - 35
� ECONOMIC IMPACT
� Loss of agricultural land � General improvement of economy of the area � Increase in revenue of the state exchequer
� IMPACT ON VILLAGE HABITATION
The project area (including the expansion project) comprising of excavation
zone, infrastructure sites, ext. OB dump area and safety zone for blasting
covers partly and/or fully 7 (seven) inhabited villages namely, Balugaon,
Balugaon-Khamar, Langijoda, Ambamunda, Nakulbaspur, Hensamul and
Madanmohanpur besides some uninhabited villages. These families will be

CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 4, Page - 37
� Supply of drinking water in nearby villages during summer season will
be provided.
4.6 IMPACT ON BIO-DIVERSITY
The major adverse impacts due to pre-mining and mining phases are loss of
habitat, biodiversity, flora & fauna, fisheries & other aquatic life, migration of wildlife
and overall disruption of the ecology of the area.
4.6.1 IMPACT ON FLORA
� Forest land in the core zone in the expansion project (particularly in the
excavation area) will be diverted for mining. The forest land for diversion
is 186.311ha.
� The combined impact of operating coal mines and proposed coal
projects may influence the forest land in the buffer zone.
� Due to biotic interference and forest fire, even the reserve forests in the
area are not found to harbor many species of floral population. The
reserve forests are found to be in degraded conditions.
� Both core and buffer zones are found to be free from ecologically
sensitive and biologically rich areas/habitats, such as national parks,
sanctuaries, biosphere reserves and areas rich in genetic resources.
� There are no rare, threatened and endangered plant species in the
buffer zone.
4.6.2 IMPACT ON FAUNA
� The population of fauna, especially mammals, is found to be low. So
there will be no adverse impact on the fauna existing in the project
impact area as they will migrate to the nearby forests.
� The area is not the migratory route for any wild animal.
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 4, Page - 38
� There are no rare, threatened and endangered faunal species in the
buffer zone except Rana tigrina and Varanus which is also found in the
other parts of the district and state.
4.6.3 CONTROL MEASURES
4.6.3.1 CONTROL MEASURES TO REDUCE THE IMPACT ON FLORA
� The enhancement of forest area occurs due to measures like biological
reclamation of backfilled area, arboriculture / afforestation,
compensatory afforestation creation of greenbelt and avenue plantation.
� Water body created by the final voids is beneficial to flora as the area is
prone to water scarcity.
� This project will have no detrimental impact on diversity of floral species
within terrestrial and aquatic habitats.
4.6.3.2 CONTROL MEASURES TO REDUCE IMPACT ON FAUNA
� The balance in the regional population will be maintained in natural
course, owing to existing undisturbed forest areas in the vicinity of the
project. The increase in green cover due to implementation of various
measures like biological reclamation of backfilled area, arboriculture /
afforestation adopted by the mine establishment will be an added
bonus, though expected in distant future.
� The mine is a •zero-dischargeŽ one. If required, water is discharged
only after suitable treatment. No adverse impact on downstream aquatic
life of surface water courses is expected.
� The project is not likely to have impact on the faunal species diversity
within the terrestrial and aquatic habitats.
4.7 IMPACT ON LAND USE AND LANDSCAPE
4.7.1 IMPACT ON LAND USE PATTERN
The major direct impacts on existing land use during the pre-mining phase
area the removal of vegetation and resettlement of displaced population. There may
also be landuse changes with respect to agriculture, fisheries, recreation sites,
housing, forestry areas, etc. Land reclamation / restoration of mined out lands may
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 4, Page - 39
give rise to enhanced beneficial land use. There will be change in land use for the
expansion project.
There exists major environment impacts due to landscape disruption
particularly visuals (unsightly huge dumps, voids, mine structures, subsidence, mine
fires, etc.). During mining and post-mining phases drastic changes in landscape with
landforms take place. The major associated impacts are soil-erosion, loss of top soil,
change in complete geology, creation of huge dumps & voids, disposal of wastes,
deforestation, etc.
Irrespective of the type of mining used for extracting coal, mining invariably
results in enormous land disturbance … e.g. large scale excavation, removal of top
soil, dumping of solid wastes, cutting of roads, creation of derelict land, etc. Opencast
mining has more potential impact on land than underground mining. With improved
technology, opencast coal mining is being used extensively because of its cost
effectiveness and productivity; though it results in large-scale land disturbance. The
alteration in land use pattern due to infrastructure is not to be considered as true
change as these facilities can be utilized for some other purposes after the mining
operation is over. The alteration in land use pattern due to activities of quarrying and
external dumping of OB materials may be considered as true change in land use
pattern.

will be no externally dumping. The external OB dump has already been
technical reclaimed and biological reclaimed.
� During the process, the geometrical shape of the dumps is altered to
make it amenable to effective biological reclamation and also to provide
safety and stability.
� The face slopes of the dump will be maintained at the natural angle of
repose of the material and at overall slope angle of 28o.
� Suitable drainage arrangement for smooth disposal of storm water.
� Appropriate garland drain is to be provided to collect run-off.
� Backfilled area is to be reclaimed bio-logically and technically.
� Topsoil shall be progressively and concurrently utilized during physical/
technical reclamation of backfilled area, thus obviating the necessity of
storage of topsoil separately.
� Arboriculture is to be carried out in the vacant areas.
� Proper afforestation / plantation are to be carried out for greenbelt
development.
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 4, Page - 41
4.8 IMPACT ON TRAFFIC MOVEMENT & CONTROL MEASURES
Coal transportation will take place from CHP to rapid loading system (RLS)
through CCT. Both coal transportation road and the siding are located within the
mine lease area. Therefore, effect of traffic movement within the mining lease area is
negligible on residential area.
The following control measures are adopted and shall be continued:
� Plantation on both sides of the roads on the surface.
� Proper maintenance of road to remove ruts and potholes.
� Proper illumination of roads including haul road.
4.8.1 VISUAL/AESTHETIC IMPACTS & CONTROL MEASURES
The following visual impacts are anticipated:
� Due to excavation of coal and OB as well as transportation, the area
may have spots of eyesore, unless proper mitigatory measures are
adopted.
� Water logging may occur due to changes in the drainage pattern of the
area.
� Loss in aesthetic value of the surrounding environment.
The following control measures are adopted and shall be continued:
� Physical and biological reclamation of mined out land to the extent
possible to ameliorate the environment.
� Regular supervision to detect the spots of eyesore and to remove the
same immediately.
4.9 IMPACTS ON PUBLIC HEALTH
Various respirable and water-borne diseases are cause of concern for public
health and safety in mining areas due to high intensity dust nuisance and pollution of
water bodies and contaminated water supply. Health care centers (medical centers)
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 4, Page - 42
are usually distantly located and provision of medical facilities by project developers
results in beneficial impact. There is a general cause of concern for safety due to
blasting/ explosions, noise & vibrations, etc.
4.9.1 CONTROL MEASURES ON PUBLIC HEALTH
Better sanitation, medical facilities and other infrastructural facilities, there is
likelihood of the reduction in disease. However, regular medical check up of
employees particular those put on risky and occupational hazards should be done
periodically.

ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGY 5.1 INTRODUCTION
Coal industry in India has expanded enormously over the years in terms of
volume of production and is poised to grow rapidly in future also to meet the over
increasing energy demand.
In order to meet growing energy demand, opening of new coal mines and
expansion of existing mines are being planned.
The mining operation like drilling, blasting, extraction, transportation, crushing
and other associated activities are carried out in opencast mining. Mining operations
may affect the environment & ecology, unless carefully planned and controlled.
There is a need for balance between mining and environmental requirement.
5.2 MINING TECHNOLOGY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL
MANAGEMENT
In mega opencast mining projects, large tracts of agriculture, forest or other
land are required for excavation thus cause depleting of the forest cover and fertile
land and consequently the ecology & environment of the region. There will be air,
water and noise pollution due to various mining activities like excavation,
transportation, coal beneficiation plant, CHP, workshop, etc.
Considering the working of 13 coal seams and structure with multiple faults
(33 nos.), it is envisaged to continue the present shovel-dumper mining system.
Inclined system of working in the eastern part where moderate seam gradient exist
would be continued. However, it would be necessary to switchover to level slicing in
the remaining area because of steep gradient. For the incremental coal, 3.0 Mty is
proposed to be outsourced by blast-free mining.
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 5, Page - 2
Considering presence of (i) multiple coal seams [13 nos.], (ii) highly faulted
structure [33 faults], (iii) steep gradient [10o to 15o], it is proposed to provide hydraulic
excavators to offer more flexible operation. 9.5 cum hydraulic shovels and rear
dumpers 100T are envisaged towards the requirement of additional equipment. 9.5
cum hydraulic shovels would be mainly deployed to extract top overburden alongwith
upper thick parting stratas viz. partings above seams VII, seam VIII & seam IX. Coal
is proposed to be extracted by outsourcing using blast free mining.
Ther different alternative technology are described below:
� Dip rise mining
� Deployment of surface miner
� Blasting technology
� In pit crushing and conveying
� Deployment of high capacity HEMM
� Dip Rise Mining
Depending on the Geo-mining condition dip-rise method of working may be
considered wherever applicable for maximization of internal dumps resulting in less
requirement of land for external overburden dumps.
� Deployment of Surface Miner
Blast free technology (Deployment of Surface Miner), which contributes to
eco-friendly mining, has been been proposed for Lingaraj OC Expn. Project. Surface
miner eliminates the dust/noise generating operations like drilling, blasting, crushing
etc.
� Blasting Technology
The controlled blasting technology will allow the opencast working closer to
the nearby habitations and as a result the requirement of the safety zone will also be
reduced along with the overall requirement of land for mining.
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 5, Page - 3
� In pit crushing and conveying
Many of the future opencast mines would require excavation and
transportation of large volume of coal & overburden keeping pollution level within
permissible limit. In-pit crushing and conveying system using mobile/ semi-mobile
crushers may have to be considered with suitable dust suppression arrangements as
an alternative to dumper transport.
� Deployment of high capacity HEMM
Higher capacity HEMM are being planned to use in large capacity mines to
reduce equipment density in the mine, which will result less air and noise pollution.

� Angle of repose for each dump to be 37o and overall slope to be 28o.
� Slope of ground should be mild and should not have adverse effect.
� Garland drain to be made around OB dump area.
� Technical & biological reclamation.
� Toe wall around the OB dumps.
7.1.5 BLASTING
For proper blasting and minimizing the adverse side effects due to blasting,
viz. noise, ground vibration, back-breaks, air blast, fly rocks, etc., the following
precautions have been suggested to avoid dangerous situations:
� A safety zone for blasting has been provided around the quarry.
� Before blasting is done, warning sound will be given so that people can
move to safe places.
� Controlled blasting with site mixed slurry. Use of millisecond delay
detonators that are initiated by shock tube initiation system, between
rows and between holes in same row.
� Optimisation of quantity of explosive in a blast hole.
� Blasting shall be carried out in conformity of extant laws with closer
control of blasting parameters including blasting results like desire
fragmentation, permitted vibration, etc.
� Blasting will be made in day time only.
7.1.6 EXPLOSIVE HANDLING
The present day technology of blasting with site mixed slurry (SMS) explosive
shall be used with milli second delay detonators that are initiated by shock tube
initiation system. SMS is stored by the supplier as per GOI Notification. Further,

Samal
Occurrences of spontaneous heating/ fire in the mine/coal stocks are negligible which may contribute to rise in Ambient temperature. However the following actions have been taken for dealing with fire/spontaneous heating. (a) About 80% coal is
produced by cutting through surface miners, thereby reducing the cracks & loose coal which ultimately prevent oxygen to enter into the coal seams, thereby reducing fire/spontaneous heating in the coal seam.
(b) Coal stock has been continuously reduced to have the minimum exposure of coal to the air. On 1st April• 2012 coal stock was 20.69 lakhs te. which is reduced to 11.03 lakhs te. on 31st Oct. 2014.

7.6 RAIN WATER HARVESTING
Rain water is naturally pure water except where it becomes acidic due to
industrial pollution.
The rapid exploitation of ground water as well as surface water due to the
industrial developmental projects, infrastructural development and increase in
population resulted in acute scarcity of fresh water availability in many regions of
India as well as States. Fresh water is very necessary for the living being on this
planet Earth. It has become necessary to conserve this valuable natural resource for
sustainable development. Conservation of this valuable natural resource can be done
by collecting this rain water scientifically and utilizing it either for drinking purpose,
irrigation purpose or ground water recharging purpose. Scientifically and technically
designed system which helps us to collect and utilize the rain water effectively
through various steps and collectively termed as Rain Water Harvesting System.
Ministry of Water Resource and its subordinate offices have taken various
steps to conserve this valuable natural resources through scientifically and technically
watershed management systems.

Different Methods
(i) Roof-top catchment : The roof-top water collected can be made
drinkable after suitable treatment. The excess water that flows can be stored
in underground storage tanks. The water collected from this source is mostly
used for storage purposes to be used later for dust suppression on roads and
fire-fighting.
(ii) Check dams : Check dams can be constructed with locally available
materials. Different types are like Brush wood dam, loose rock dam and
woven wire dam. The main function of the check dam is to impede the soil
and water removed from the watershed. This structure is cheap, but lasts
about 2-5 years.
(iii) Percolation pond: The percolation pond is a multipurpose
conservation structure depending on its location and size. It stores water for
livestock and recharges the groundwater. It is constructed by excavating a
depression, forming a small reservoir or by constructing an embankment in a
natural ravine or gully to form an impounded type of reservoir.
7.7 SLOPE STABILITY
Lingaraj OC expansion project (Phase III) Normative 16.0 Mty (Peak 20.0
Mty) has been carried out by CMPDI (HQs) Ranchi. The abstract of the slope
stability report is given below:
7.7.1 Slope
Any structure either naturally occurred or artificially built when takes the
shape by increasing the height with horizon in reference to plane is called slope.
Slopes of the earth are of two types
1. Natural slopes
2. Artificial slopes
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 7, Page - 27
Natural slopes are those that exist in natures and are formed by natural
causes and generally exist in hilly area.
Artificial slopes are created by man such as cutting of sides, construction of
dam, highway embankment, mining benches and OB dumps, etc.
7.7.2 Factors governing the Slope Stability
There are two main aspects of slope failure and they are natural and man
made disturbances. The seismic activities of the earth crust, rain, tornado and
geology come under the naturally occurred disturbance. The blasting, excavation,
dumping are the man made disturbance for slope instability. Following are the main
factors that influence the slope stability.
7.7.2.1 Geo physical parameters
(a) Shear strength parameters:-
This is the basic parameters and holds the key role to control the
stability of the slope but it is most difficult to comprehend it accurately.
The fundamental shear strength equation proposed by French engineer
Coulomb is S=C + � Tan (�).
(b) Bulk density of dump mass:
Bulk density of dump mass determines the weight of waste rock and ply
very important role in calculation of stability of the dump mass
(c) Base of the Dump
Base of the OB dump should be strong enough to bear the load of the
dump otherwise base failure may crop up.
(d) Grain size distribution of the dump material:
It indicates composition of dump material comprising of clay, silt, sand,
gravels and boulders. It influences the permeability, density, shear strength
parameters and other characteristics of the soil materials.
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 7, Page - 28
(e) Plastic Limits
Atterberg limits determine the expansive and liquid properties of the
material. In case of expansive soil, shear strength properties drastically
changes when coming in contact with water.
(f) Co-efficient of permeability:
This parameter implies seepage properties of water and facilitate in
computation of seepage force exerting on dump materials
7.7.2.2 Hydro-Geological parameters…
The effect of Hydro-geology in determining stability of dump is as follows:
A. Shear strength parameters of dump materials get affected due to water
saturation during rainy season.
B. Accumulated water at the base gives buoyancy effect on dump
materials as well reduce cohesion and friction of dump and interface
materials.
C. Seepage of water exerts dragging force on the dump materials.
Seepage pressure acts below the pheratic line and in the direction of
flow. It can be calculated by
� knowing the pore water pressure or
� Drawing the pheratic line.
D. Rain water erode slope surface and create large rill and gullies on slope
surface which damage the slope profile and causes slope failure.
7.7.2.3 Geo-mining parameters
A Mine floor inclination
Mine floor inclination reduces the effective angle of repose of overlaid
OB dump such as shear strength of materials.
B Blasting affect create encourage
Blasting generate vibrations in the surrounding region that induces
acceleration imply dynamic forces which affect the stability of slope.
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 7, Page - 29
C Profile of the dump
The profile of the dump, i.e height and berm guide the overall slope
angle of the dump. This should be less than angle of repose of the
materials.
D Location of dump
Location of dump site also play crucial role in the stability of the slope.
Base of dump must be strong and away from the quarry edge to avoid
base failure and differential settlement of dump or highwall.
E Surcharge
The surcharge load increases the horizontal & vertical load and
amplifies seismic effects. Thus affect the slope stability.
7.7.2.4 Dynamic forces:
(A) Seismic forces
Earthquake experience by a structure depends on its own dynamic
characteristics and ground motions such that random motion of ground,
vibration intensity, magnitude of the earthquake; depth of focus, distance
from the epicenter and the strata on which the structure stands.
Seismic force/coefficient � h is calculated as per the IS Code by following
two methods and higher value will be taken for slope stability calculation.
a) Seismic Coefficient Method,
b) Response Spectrum method
(B) Blasting Effect
(i) Peak particle Velocity
The types of explosive directly influence ground vibration that and
create PPV in the ground. This PPV affects the stability of slope.
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 7, Page - 30
Following is the typical graph of blasting in Opencast mine.
It is found that PPV of less than 50 mm/s would have low probability to
damage the structural of residential buildings.
In the studies it is established that in our case 75% to 80% times blast
frequency comes in the range of 8-25 Hz.
(C) Moving force
Moving force is type of live load that comes from the vehicular
movement including the HEMM. These moving loads create the
dynamic/static load besides the breaking and acceleration jerks. This load
affects the slope stability.
7.7.3 Types of failure:
A slope may have various types of failures which depend upon the type of
materials, dump profile, dump base, etc. In our case, generally following types of
failure occurs:
A. Circular failure …
Circular failure generally occurs in high dump, soil having low shear
strength and base of dump material stronger than dump materials.
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 7, Page - 31
B. Circular-cum-planar Failure …
It occurs when the shear strength of interface material between dump
and the mine floor is less than that of dump material and the dump is
standing on steep mine floor.
C. Base failure -
It occurs when the weak strata lies beneath the toe of the dump.
7.7.4 Calculation of FoS
This is a ratio of the stabilizing force to mobilisitation force developed at the
sliding surface. The factor of safety gives relative static state of the studied slope
about its mobilization at a glance.
It has envisaged a factor of safety more than 1.10 in the design of slope
stability is safe if appropriate seismic acceleration is considered and more than 1.20
if seismic acceleration is not considered.
7.7.4.1 SLOPE ANALYSIS
Limit equilibrium method is widely used for slope stability analysis nowadays.
This method takes in to account the physical constraints under which the OB dumps
are generated and effect of both of dynamic and static acceleration. The effects of
tension cracks and varied hydrological conditions towards the stability are also
modeled.
Today large number of different suitable software/tools are available for the
analyzing the slope stability for the dump/ waste rock piles and highwall.
7.7.4.2 Software
One of the leading software for analyzing the stability of the slope is
GALENA, which is used here for analyzing slope stability. It is very powerful and
accurate slope stability software and incorporates the Bishop Simplified, the Spencer-
Wright and the Sharma method of analysis to determine the stability of slope The
Bishop method is used to determine the stability of slope of circular failure surface,
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 7, Page - 32
the Spencer-Wright method is applicable for circular and non circular failure surface
and Sharma method is used for problem where non vertical slices are required.
7.7.4.3 Forces
(a) Seepage Pressure
Pore water pressure is determined by taking into account the actual shape of
phreatic line. Below the ground water table, analysis proceeds using the unit
weight of saturated soil � sat and uplift pressure; above the ground water table
the analysis assumes the inputted unit weight of soil � .
(b) Tension Cracks
Tensile cracks that appear on terrain surface are filled with water h, exerts
extra lateral pressure. Since, it is assumed that tensile cracks, if any will be
filled up immediately so affect of it is not taken in computations.
Fh

TENSION CRACK
Fig-4.3 A
(c) Ground Acceleration
Horizontal acceleration Kh arises due to earthquake and blasting is calculated
and higher value has been taken for slope stability analysis. Horizontal
acceleration Kh coefficient taken for analysis is 0.016.
(d) Surcharge
Since, it is external dump so it is assumed that there will be no moving or
static surcharge either on the inclined slope or top of the slope. Hence no
surcharge affect is to be considered in the analysis of the slope stability,
(e) Shear Strength of materials
Shear strength of the soil, consisting Cohesion & Angle of repose is judicially
decided after study the result of physical Mechanical properties of Borehole
log, Back Analysis data of same type of mines. Since soil is heterogeneous
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 7, Page - 33
materials, so few test of soil can not represent the whole mass dump.
Different soil test report shows the large variation in test results. So, after
giving the sensible thought on various existing report following value of shear
strength parameters have been chosen.
Cohesion … 53 pa, Angle of friction - 250. However detailed analysis of
Physico mechanical properties would be required for making the final report
for slope stability.
7.7.4.4 Method of analysis
More than 80% slope failure is either circular or near circular in nature. So
Modified (or Simplified) Bishop's method is used for slope analysis which is one of
the most suitable methods for circular slope failure. The method satisfies all
conditions of equilibrium, (i.e. horizontal force, vertical force and moment equilibrium
for each slice.
7.7.4.5 Analysis
Analysis has been done with the help of Galena software. Galena works by
creating a model that represent a slope. The basic data component is materials
profile, physical properties of profile, slope surface and tentative failure surface.
Generally circular failure occurs in loose material, so Bishop•s simplified method has
been used for the analysis of dump.
7.7.4.6 INPUT
A) Profile of dump –
External OB dump and highwall are the essential part of the Open Cast
Mining system particularly initial phase of mining operation.
Our intended object for the slope stability analysis is to check the stability of
the proposed external OB dump and highwall. This dump is located at south-eastern
side of quarry having the overall slope angle 240 and height is 225 m and maximum
height of high wall is 225 m and overall angle is 450 C. In first glance, as per vertical
& horizontal ratio of slope it seems to be stable.

7.7.4.8 Conclusions & Recommendations
7.7.4.8.1 Conclusion
1. Height of external cum internal dump is approximately 245m from floor
of seam to top of dump and average slope angle from toe to top is
about 230.
2. Maximum height of high wall is 245 and average slope angle from floor
of seam to surface is 450.
3. Analysis is done for various combination of slip circle between the top of
the dump and the base of dump. Minimum FoS comes to 1.09 which is
just lower then the desire value1.10.
4. Analysis is also done for various combination of slip circle between the
ground surfaces to the base of base of highwall. Minimum FoS comes
to 1.69.
5. Earthquake / blasting affect has been considered in the analysis.
6. Analysis is done for drained conditions. However affect of Pheretic line
has been taken for below the ground level.
7. Slope of given profile of highwall, at present situation is safe in all
conditions.
8. Slope stability of external dump cum internal dump at proposed profile
is susceptible condition so work should be done very carefully near the
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 7, Page - 37
toe of dump. Space between toe of dump and any type of activities
should not be less than the height of dump at that place.
7.7.4.8.2 Recommendations
1. Top of the dump should be leveled with the provision of kerb all along the
dump with proper drainage arrangement at top as well as along the
slope which will prevent the formation of deep gully on dump slope.
2. The toe of the dump (bottom of coal rib) should not be eroded or cut at
any
point of time to avoid the failure of slope.
3. Formation of dumping should be done in square or circular shape as far
as possible.
4. Edge of dump should be in straight line or in large smooth curvature as
far as possible. Zig - zag dumping should be avoided as it poses the
some complication in stability of slope.
5. Top surface of OB dump should have transverse and longitudinal slope
of 1:50 spreading outward so as rain water can be evacuated easily (as
shown in the diagram below). Berm of 15 to 20 cm will be provided all
round the top of OB dump. This will prevent the water spillage on
inclined face of dump. Drain on inclined face and catch drain at each
layer should be provided to facilitate the water drainage.

8. Regular monitoring is required for development of tension crack,
Gullies, movement of soil mass, stagnation of water and any other
unusual occurrence.
9. A detailed study on slope stability should be done before starting the
project
7.7.4.9 Limitations
1. Soil is very complex and complicated matter due to availability in infinite
combination of soil mixing.
2. In nature, heterogeneous type of soil is found which has different
properties at different depth and places.
3. Accurate soil properties can not be tested in laboratory because no
theory can simulated the field conditions.
4. OB dump given for study is completely heterogeneous soil contains soft
clay to hard rock of different size varying from less than a millimeter to
more than a meter.
5. It is very difficult to take the soil sample from the deep inside the OB
dump.
6. Few testing of samples can not represent the whole mass of OB dump.
7. Judicious combination of theory and experience can help to arrive at
right conclusion.
8. It is very difficult to assess the accurate pore water pressure and
pheratic line of the dump.
9. All the software and calculation are based on homogeneous soil .
10. All normal failure conditions are checked for determination of FoS but
powerful nature can do something else.
11. In geo-technical engineering field there are many uncertain factors
needs further study. As a result, factor of safety determined may not be
very precise.
12. Only one section of the dump is analyzed for slope stability. However
more detail analysis is required for confirmation of results.

maximum height of 71 meters at the deepest bed level. There are 24 number of
radial crest gates of size 15.5 meters x 14.8 m to discharge maximum probable
flood of 55,550 cumecs have been routed to 46,960 cumecs. Top level of dam is
128.5 m (Dalua, 1991). Gross capacity of reservoir at full reservoir level is 4400
million cum. Live storage capacity at full reservoir level is 3452 million cum. The
main purpose of the dam is flood control since after joining with a branch of river
Baitarani and forming a net of branches in the delta it creates flood havoc and
becomes the river of sorrow for major part of the Cuttack and Puri delta area.
Rengali dam through which maximum discharge of 55,550 cumecs is probable
during any flood, has been able to reduce to 46,960 cumecs out of it due to
construction of 24 redial crest gates. Maximum water level in the dam is 125.40
metres, full reservoir level is 123.50 metres and dead storage level is 109.7 metres.
It has been able to moderate its flood over an area of 2,500 Sq. Km. Brahmani and
Baitarani delta. Next priority for Rengali Dam is power generation with installed
capacity of 250 MW. Figure1: Index map of Rengali Multipurpose Dam Project

However, the following changes has been assessed on hydrology and
hydrogeology due to mining and respective corrective measures are in vogue.
- Disruption of natural drainages network located in core zone is re-
aligned to the natural drainage slope. River/stream flow at any point of
time during mining will not be checked.
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 7, Page - 43
- Siltation and choking of water courses resulting in scarcity of surface
water and flooding problem in the area is avoided by making foot drain
and catch drain in the overburden dumps. These drain collect run-off
from dump and direct it to settling tank/sedimentation pond before
discharge to nearby natural water courses. Periodically sedimentation
tanks are cleared.
- Reduction in storm run-off and surface run-off is controlled by the
formation of garland drain around excavation area and storm water
drain in infrastructure premises.
- Early drying up of surface water bodies like ponds, lakes and stream
flow by declining of ground water level is generally to the limited extent
around excavation or quarry area. The lowering of water level is
temporary phenomena. Backfilling once reached to its predetermined
level seepages from the excavation zone is considerably reduced,
thereby declining of ground water will also be reduced around the mine.
- The water balance study of the area has been made through rainfall
recharge. The total replenishable annual rainfall recharge in the area
has been assessed as 146.47Mm3. The water demand foreseeable in
the area around 10 km radius of the project for irrigating land, human
population, forest, cattle population, cumulative mine discharge and
industrial demand has been assessed as 34.05 Mm3/annum.
- The total annual rainfall run-off/stream flow in the drainages around 10
km radius of the area for downstream user is 320.80Mm3/annum. The
total available utilizable resource in the area is 112.47Mm3/annum. The
stage of ground water development in the area is 26.33% which is safe

opportunity, infrastructural development, better educational and healthcare facilties.
Following are the specific impacts.
SOCIO-ECONOMIC
Overall there will be positive impact in socio-economic area due to increased
economic activities, creation of new employment opportunities, infrastructural
development and better educational and healthcare facilties. The impact in the Core
Zone and Buffer Zone is due to the following :
POPULATION DYNAMICS
Due to direct and indirect employment potential, there is scope of migration
of people into project area and in the peripheral regions, from nearby areas. Mining
activities, acceleration of the economic activities and urbanization along with creation
of new employment opportunities and business may change the population dynamics
of the area.
STANDARD OF LIVING
The people will come in contact with migrated people. This may encourage
higher aspirations among the people of the area. Accelerated economic activities
and urbanization may increase quality of life and standard of living.
HEALTH CARE FACILITIES
MCL will undertake awareness programme and community activities, like
health camps, medical aids, family welfare camps, AIDS awareness programme,
immunization camp, etc.
8.4 EMPLOYMENT POTENTIAL
There is a possibility of creation of direct and indirect employment
opportunities due to working of this mine. Overall, this will have positive impact on
socio-economic profile of the area.
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 8, Page - 4
MCL will undertake skill development & capacity building programmes like
vocational training, income generation and entrepreneurship development.
8.5 OTHER TANGIBLE BENEFITS
Mahanadi Coalfields Limited is facing increasing demand of power grade
coal because of superior grade, long flame and other consumer friendly
characteristics. Continuing and augmentation of coal production from the mines of
MCL will help to bridge the gap of demand and supply of superior power grade coal
in India. To meet the growing demand of coal, especially in power sector, sponge
iron sector and brick and other small scale sectors, MCL has planned to increase its
production capacity.
The mine will also contribute to the Exchequer of State and Central
Government.
Development of any nation is measured by the consumption of the electric
power (per capita). Huge demand of power is taking place to sustain the economic
growth of the country, since our country is progressing at a growth rate of about 9%
per annum in the recent years. Coal being prime mover of thermal power generating
stations (more than 70% of electrical energy is generated by Thermal Power Stations
by burning the fossil fuel), the demand of coal has also increased very rapidly, forcing
the existing mines to produce more. The availability of electrical power meets the
rising demand of various industries thereby improvement in over all economic growth
of the country.

10.1.9.4 MANAGEMENT OF RECLAIMED LAND
There are several options available for land use pattern of the reclaimed land.
The following factors have been considered for selection of appropriate land use
pattern:
� Pre-mining land use pattern
� Topsoil/sub-soil quality
� Socio-economic parameters of the area
� Availability of technology for land reclamation
� Climatic conditions of the area
� Local flora.
The alternatives available for utilising the reclaimed land are :
Agricultural use
Afforestation
The option for using the reclaimed backfilled area for agricultural
purpose immediately is ruled out due to the following reasons :
� The reclaimed land is very different from its pre-mining conditions. It
cannot sustain crops as the soil has poor fertility status. So the
agriculture may prove uneconomic venture compared to afforestation.
� The development of soil regime for agriculture will take a considerable
time.
� Reclamation is proposed to be done progressively and concurrently with
mining operation. Carrying out agriculture within mining activity area by
releasing reclaimed area in a phase-wise manner, may not be advisable
from safety point of view.
In view of the above, it is suggested to utilise the reclaimed land for
afforestation purpose which will help improve the soil status i.e texture
and nutrient levels, etc.

222.23 Mm3 and Ananta OC Expn. Project is 809.84 Mm3.
OB dumping
During working of these mines void generated in these mines can only be
used for backfilling of its own overburden. Wide road all along the floor of the mine
from surface to quarry bottom has to be maintained for transport of coal, overburden,
machinery and manpower. Proper slopes have to be maintained towards both quarry
and dump edges. Towards dipside sufficient barrier has to be maintained between
dump slope and quarry working face. So during working phase of the mine its void
generation will be slow or it can be said that all the voids available cannot be filled up
completely due to operational and safety reasons.
The schedule of OB dumping considering neighbouring mines is given in the
below table :

Land reclamation
This is carried out in two distrinct stages :
� Technical reclamation
� Biological reclamation
� Technical reclamation
External OB dumping
External OB dump area of 66.09 ha and 65.09 ha has been technically
& biologically reclaimed respectively. A quantity of 8.18 Mm3 of OB will
be dumped externally in the expansion project. The face of slope of
external dump has been maintained at the natural angle of repose and
over all slopes has been kept at an angle 28o. Drainage arrangement
have been provided around external OB dump area to avoid gully
formation. Garland drain with settling tanks have been provided to
collect run off sedimentation ponds in order to avoid silt.
Backfilling and reshaping of internal dump
The total area of quarry excavation for this project is 538.851 ha. Of this
275.85 ha (as on 31.12.2014) has been excavated and the balance
263.001 ha will be excavated. In Lingaraj OC Expn. Project (20.0 Mty
Peak), the overburden (222.23 Mm3) of expansion project will be
removed out of which 214.05 Mm3 overburden will be backfilled.
Major part of the quarry will be backfilled with overburden. The
backfilling will be carried out in a phased manner. Once the backfilling
has reached a certain predetermined reduced level, the plots will be
levelled, graded and cleared of large stone pieces lying on the surface.
The slope of the ground will be made very gentle as far as possible
(preferably less than 2%). The graded and levelled area will be divided
into small sectors and small check bunds will be constructed to retain
moisture and humus in the soil. The outer slope of each bench will be
kept at the natural angle of repose of the spoil material and at overall
slope angle of 28O considering all benches.

309.331 ha is available for plantation, 361.86 ha is available for
agriculture, and 246.71 ha is left for water body for water harvesting and
over burden material for future neighbouring nearby mines.
� Biological reclamation
Biological reclamation of mined out area is dealt in para 10.3.
For successful biological reclamation of the reclaimed area, preference
will be given to endemic species and mixed culture. The species will be
selected carefully from the following groups for quick reclamation :
� Nitrogen fixing tree species for fuel wood, timber and fodder
� Fruit bearing tree species
� Tree species with dense foliage for shade
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 10, Page - 19
� Flowering and ornamental tree species.
The area likely to be available after technical reclamation at different
time horizon is indicated below:
1. External OB dump (66.09 ha area) has already been technically
reclaimed.
2. Upto end of mine life (i.e. upto 21 years) backfilling will be
continued for an area of 292.141 ha and 186.311 ha will be
available for plantation.
� Quarry and internal dumps
Having backfilled the decoaled area with overburden, internal dumps
will be reclaimed and then revegetated. The remaining void in the
quarry will be developed as water harvesting structure as well as
public utility lagoon which will serve following purposes :
� Source of supply of water for industrial and fire fighting purposes.
� Source of supply of potable water after necessary treatment.
� A place of bathing and washing for the local population.
� Pisciculture.
� For recharging the aquifer in the area.
For such purposes, the pathway to the reservoir is gently graded and
the depth of water is limited.
10.1.9.6 MANAGEMENT OF TOPSOIL
This is an opencast mine. The topsoil from still unbroken area will be scraped
for progressive and concurrent utilisation during technical reclamation of backfilled
area, thus obviating the necessity of storage of topsoil separately.
10.1.9.7 MANAGEMENT / DECOMMISSIONING OF INFRASTRUCTURE
The infrastructure like workshop, office buildings, residential colony, roads
and transmission lines, etc., will be provided for the project. Considering the ground
realities existing during the period just 1 year before mine closure plan for reutilization
in neighbouring mines or decommissioning will be made. If decommissioning of
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 10, Page - 20
infrastructure is done, the land occupied by the infrastructure will be restored for
some useful purpose. The cost for decommissioning will be met from the 'Escrow
account' created for mine closure activities.
10.1.9.8 MANAGEMENT OF DISPOSAL OF MINING MACHINERY The salvaging and shifting operation of mining machinery and other
equipment will be planned considering the ground realities existing during the period
1 year advance of final closure of the mine.
10.1.10 ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS
10.1.10.1 MANAGEMENT OF HYDROLOGY & HYDROGEOLOGY DURING MINE PERIOD AND POST MINING CLOSURE PERIOD.
� During mining period
� Assessment of hydrology and hydro-geology of the area Investigations have been carried out in and around the area
comprising of core and buffer zones of this project. The matter
has been dealt.
� Estimation of ground water availability of the area Ground water availability of the area comprising of core and
buffer zones of this project has been assessed.
� Water demand, dewatering of the mine and waste water management
The above details have been given in this report. � Impact of the mine on ground water and surface water The impacts have been assessed and given in this report.
� During post-mine closure period
Surface flow pattern of precipitation run-off and mine water has been
discussed in this report.
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 10, Page - 21
� Management of recharge areas
It is also observed from the contour maps, there are a few
localized ground water troughs and mounds and watershed boundaries
generally coincide with ground water divides. There is a ground water
divide orienting north-west to south-east between Manikamara
(Krishnachandrapur) to Dasanali villages. This groundwater divide acts
as drainage divide of the area. This ground water and drainage divide
make a part of ground water movement as well as a part of surface run-
off towards the north-west contributing to Bangaru jhara and balance
flow towards Nandira jhar.
Mining operation of this project will create voids or depressions, which
will induce / accelerate rainfall recharge and decrease run-off in the
mining area. Maximum effort will be made to recycle or reuse the
treated mine discharge water totally to the extent possible by keeping
the make of water in different sumps or low lying areas of the mine.
The remaining water will be discharged to the natural drainage for
ground water recharge in the same basin. The final voids of the quarry
will be left as a water reservoir for water harvesting and also recharging
the aquifer in the surrounding area.
For the purpose of understanding impact of mining activity on groundwater in
the vicinity, a dug well from Deulbera village has been selected for year on
year fluctuation study. Based on the data, it can be inferred that over the years
ground water levels in Deulbera village have marginally decreased and thus
mining activity has little influence on the groundwater.
� Acceptable surface and ground water flows
The drainage arrangement for smooth disposal of storm water from OB
dump will be made to avoid gully formation on the dump body and also
siltation problem of the nearby natural drains.
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 10, Page - 22
10.1.10.5 DRAINAGE ARRANGEMENT FOR EXTERNAL OB DUMP & FOR INTERNAL DUMP
� Drainage arrangement for OB dumps
�� Catch drain
Catch drain of appropriate size has been provided on all terrace at
the foot of next bench to receive the storm water from upper bench.
� Foot drain / Garland drain
Garland drain have been provided through out OB dump along with
settling tanks. Water discharges to natural courses after the settling
tank.
� Drainage arrangement for internal OB dumps
A part of the quarry will be backfilled with overburden. The backfilling
will be carried out in a phased manner. Once the backfilling has
reached a certain predetermined reduced level, the plots will be levelled
graded and cleared of large stone pieces lying on the surface. The
slope of the ground will be made very gentle as far as possible
(preferably less than 2%). The graded and leveled area will be divided
into small sectors and small check bunds will be constructed to retain
moisture and humus in the soil. The drainage arrangements for
precipitation run-off are as follows:
� During working stage, the run-off will be collected from internal
dump by foot drain for diverting to mine sump for pumping.
� In the post-mining period, the drainage pattern of the reclaimed
area will be such that the run-off will be diverted to final void of the
quarry which will be developed as a water reservoir for water
harvesting and also recharging the aquifer in the surrounding
area.
There is an intricate relationship between surface water and ground
water. In the monsoon period, till the aquifer attains its original ground
water level, surface water bodies like stream, ponds & lakes recharge
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 10, Page - 23
the aquifer. As soon as ground water recoups and attains its level, it
contributes again to surface water bodies. After post-monsoon period,
this process is reversed again as ground water level gets lowered from
the original level.
The mine dewatering brings down ground water level in the immediate
vicinity of the mine. Maximum effort will be made to recycle or reuse the
treated mine discharge water totally to the extent possible by keeping
the make up water in different sumps or low lying areas of the project.
In unusual situations during monsoon, mine discharge water will be
allowed to go as recharge/run-off in the same basin of the area.
As such, this area is having an average annual rainfall of 1256.56 mm.
This rainfall replenishes the annual ground water draft every year. This
will enhance the recharge of the aquifer in the area for mitigating the
lowering of ground water level in the area surrounding the mine.

10.1.10.8 MANAGEMENT OF AIR QUALITY
Management of air quality has been dealt in detail in report. After cessation
of mining and its related activities, there will be no effect on ambient air quality due to
this project. As the proper mitigatory measures for air pollution control measures will
be taken in the neighbouring mines, there will be no effect on the ambient air quality
after closure of mine.
10.1.10.9 MANAGEMENT OF WASTES
� NON-TOXIC SOLID WASTE
The solid wastes (222.23 Mm3) generated from the mine during the coal
production are non-hazardous and non-toxic in nature. The above solid wastes will be
disposed by backfilling the mined out area and then revegetating without causing any
siltation problem on surface water bodies.
� TOXIC WASTES
Toxic wastes like used oil, used batteries, oily sludge, besides filter and filter
materials containing oil during maintenance of vehicles will be generated from this
project.
Used oil will be stored in drums safely in store either for disposal through
auction to the authorized reprocessors or for use as lubricant in U/G mines. Used
batteries will be stored safely for auction to the authorized reprocessors. As regards
oily sludge besides filter and filter materials, the same will be disposed off in
impervious layer lined pits without causing environmental hazards.
10.1.11 SOCIAL ASPECTS
10.1.11.1 REDEPLOYMENT OF WORKFORCE
The peak workforce required for mine operations is in the first few years of
the mine when construction activities as well as operational activities achieve their
peak. This workforce slowly goes down with completion of development and when
only the operational work remains. Again, near the end of mine life say, 5 years
advance of closure, the activity of the mine starts getting reduced and therefore,
management will get opportunity to taper the operational manpower. After closure,
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 10, Page - 25
skeleton service people will be left for continuing the actual closer operations. The
reduction of manpower will be effected by following options:
� Retraining and redeployment of younger groups upto 40 years of age.
� Transfer of experienced middle aged groups between 40-50 years to
the other projects.
� Implementation of VRS for age group of above 50.
� Retrenchment with suitable compensation after exhausting the above.
10.1.11.2 MANAGEMENT OF COMMUNITY FACILITIES The peripheral village community facilities developed by the Mine Authority
will be left to the Local Body / State Govt. for management.
10.1.11.3 MANAGEMENT OF ASSOCIATION AND CONSULTATION WITH STAKE HOLDERS
The effective implementation of the mine closure plan requires detailed
consultation with stake holders like employee, trade union, mine related business,
state and central govt. agencies, etc. Association and consultation of different stake
holders will make them actively involved, and thus smooth mine closure operation
may be possible.
10.1.12 SAFETY & SECURITY ASPECTS 10.1.12.1 DISASTER MANAGEMENT These aspects have been dealth in this report in detail. 10.1.12.2 CARE AND MAINTENANCE DURING TEMPORARY

� FAUNA CONSERVATION PLAN
The report reveals the presence of following wild animals in core and buffer
zones under different Schedules of the Wild life (Protection) Act 1972. All
such animals are found in other parts of the State. The area does not have
any endangered species. However, for conservation following species
present under different Schedules, broad management strategies have been
suggested.

All such animals were found to be present both in core and buffer zones. Any
disturbance in core zone due to mining will force these animals to migrate to
the buffer zone. However, to protect all such animals in the buffer zone the
following broad conservation strategies should be adopted.
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 10, Page - 42
a) Protection of existing forest patch of buffer zone and more afforestation
of locally available species in buffer zone to create suitable habitat.
b) Plantation of edible fruit bearing trees in buffer zone which will attract
squirrels, bats and rodents.
c) In buffer zone existing water sources including natural water holes
should be renovated to ensure 365 days year water availability for the
animals.
d) Fire protection and prevention measures should be undertaken,
particularly during summer
e) After the completion of mining in the core zone the species which were
available originally and native to the site should be extensively planted
to restore the original habitat.
As survey and interrogation from local public, it was ascertained that the area
does not belong to the migratory corridor of any endangered wild lives.
However, there is very rare and occasional migration of wild animals like
Bear from the distant forest during incidents of forest fire etc. There is no
such specific migratory route, which can delineate in the map. The study area
does not have any specific, typical and endangered plant species.
� CONSERVATION PLAN
The following conservation measures are adopted and will be
continued:
(i) Due to biological reclamation and greenbelt development for this
project and other projects in the area, habitats will be created for
fauna.
(ii) As ultimate voids of the quarry will be developed as water
reservoir and the area is having a number of large ponds, the
ground and avi-fauna will get water for drinking.
(iii) As technically reclaimed areas will be revegetated with endemic
species, the avi-fauna and ground fauna will get food and
shelters.

It is a running opencast project.
(b) Justifcation for Expansion of the Project
The overall demand of coal on MCL, based on coal linkage SLC (LT) by the end of XI
plan has been assessed to be 158.34 Mt against availability of 138.40 Mt. Thus there
is a gap of 19.94 Mt of coal.

There is possibility of recommending more additional linkages over and
above the already recommended linkages. The production from the proposed
Lingaraj OC Expn. Project will go towards meeting the gap between demand and
availability. Demand of coal from this coalfield is likely to rise further since more
number of TPS may be linked to this coalfield.

forest land is required for expansion project.
4. The rehabilitation of the existing project will be completed by2014-
2015.
5. No Additional families will be affected due to expansion project i.e.
for 7.0 Mty incremental (Peak 20.0 Mty).
� Mining technology
Considering the geo-mining conditions, shovel-dumper system of mining
has been envisaged. However, blastless mining (e.g. contractual surface
miners), where dust generation is minimal and negligible will be adopted
in this project.
Existing shovel dumper mining is envisaged to continue for expansion
project as the area is affected with multiple faults (33 nos.)
� Coal wining, OB removal and transportation
For coal winning and transportation, shovel-dumper system and
blast free mining (e.g. contractual (4 no.) surface miners) are used.
For OB removal and transportation, shovel-dumper system is
deployed.
Existing shovel dumper system will be followed for the expansion
project. Incremental coal production by blast free method using
additional surface miner (2 No.).
Existing shovel dumper system will be continued. It is envisaged to
deploy 100 T and 50 T rear dumpers towards additional requirement
CMPDI

� Observations Ground Water (Tubewell water and Dugwell water)
The analysis shows that various physical and chemical parameters are within
the permissible limits of Drinking Water Standards (IS:10,500-1991) except fluoride in
Hensmul Village tube water i.e 1.2 mg/l which is just marginally crossing the
permissible limit which may be due to geo-genic of the rock formation; turbidity in dug
well water at kandhal village is 45 NTU due to mining interference and is temporary
phenomenon.
Surface Water (Pond water)
Samples, WS1, WS2 and WS3 were collected from pond waters of Hensamul and
Talabera villages respectively. The analysis show that various parameters are within
the limits of IS : 2296-1982 (Surface water, Class "C" : Tolerance limits for surface
waters used for drinking water source with conventional treatment followed by
disinfection).
(C) HYDROGEOLOGY
1. Detailed hydrological studies reveal that Singhara jhara proto-basin and
Bangaru jhara sub-basin are of 5th order streams draining into the Brahmani
river. The drainage density of Singhara jhara and Bangaru jhara basins are
1.75 and 1.52 km/sq.km and their stream frequencies are 2.09 and 1.83 per
sq.km respectively. Both the basins are morphometrically similar.
2. The annual total run-off in Singhara jhara is 332.45, 237.97 and 545.19 mm of
which the base flow accounts to 164.80, 90.91 and 167.25 mm in 1983, 1984
and 1985 respectively.
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 11, Page - 25
3. Ground water in the area occurs under both unconfined and confined
conditions. The weathered mantle, recent alluvium and laterites act as
unconfined aquifer or phreatic aquifer.
4. For the purpose of understanding impact of mining activity on groundwater in
the vicinity, a dug well from Deulbera village (core zone) has been selected for
year on year fluctuation study. Based on the data, it can be inferred that over
the years ground water levels in Deulbera village (core zone) have minutely
decreased and thus mining activity has little influence on the groundwater.
However as observed from ground water levels in dugwell in village Natedi
(buffer zone) show increasing trends in groundwater level.
5. NOISE LEVEL MEASUREMENT
� Noise level measurement during monitoring
The ambient noise level measurement for the project has been carried
out during March to May 2013. The range of noise levels at different
spots as observed during monitoring, is given below :
Range of Noise Levels [dB (A) Leq.]
Time Noise Level Measurement [dB (A) Leq.] Coal Mine Area Residential Area Min. Max. Min. Max.
Day-time 39.6 58.7 40.2 58.6
Night-time 36.5 56.5 36.3 56.7 � Observation
Noise level measurements from various stations as mentioned above,
are within the limits of the prescribed standards for both day-time and
night-time.
(D) LAND USE/COVER PATTERN
Land use/cover pattern of the buffer zone of the project based on
satellite data interpretation, indicates dense forest of 6.36%, open forest
of 2.34%, plantation (including over OB dumps) of 1.47% and
agriculture land of 34.35%.

11.3.6 ANTICIPATED IMPACT ASSESSMENT & MITIGATION MEASURES
(A) AIR POLLUTION IMPACT ASSESSMENT & MITIGATION MEASURES
i) Air Pollution Impact Assessment
The AQIP analysis using ISCST3 revealed that the absolute
PM10 levels of Lingaraj OC Expn Project for 8.43 Mty
incremental capacity (i.e. from 11.57 MTPA to 20.0 MTPA) will
be 84.67 µg/cu.m at Kandhal Village (1.5 km, N) without control
measures, whereas the same will be 79.67 µg/cu.m with control
measures and the absolute PM2.5 levels of Lingaraj OC Expn
Project for 8.43 Mty incremental capacity (i.e. from 11.57 MTPA
to 20.0 MTPA) will be 21.8 µg/cu.m at Kandhal Village (1.5 km,
N) without control measures, whereas the same will be 20.8

(F) IMPACT ON SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE OF THE AREA (i) SOCIAL IMPACT
� POPULATION GROWTH
Skilled manpower required for the project may not be available in the area.
Only semi-skilled and unskilled workers will be available from the local
population. So people will migrate to this segment both from within and
outside the district as well as the state due to creation of new employment
opportunities.
� EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES
A number of educational institutes are already there in the buffer zone and its
neighbourhood. The facilities already provided in the neighbouring projects
will cater to the need of this project. So migration of population will not strain
the local educational facilities already available. Further, the educational
institutes owned by MCL are also accessible to local population.
� HEALTHCARE FACILITIES
The coal company has a number of healthcare centres including a well
equipped Regional Hospital and a specialised “referral” hospital in the
CMPDI

CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 11, Page - 43
� Supply of drinking water in nearby villages during summer season will
be provided.
(G) IMPACT ON BIO-DIVERSITY AND CONTROL MEASURES
(i) Impact on Flora
� Forest land in the core zone in the expansion project (particularly in the
excavation area) will be diverted for mining. The forest land for
diversion is 186.311 ha.
� The combined impact of operating coal mines and proposed coal
projects may influence the forest land in the buffer zone.
� Due to biotic interference and forest fire, even the reserve forests in the
area are not found to harbor many species of floral population. The
reserve forests are found to be in degraded conditions.
� Both core and buffer zones are found to be free from ecologically
sensitive and biologically rich areas/habitats, such as national parks,
sanctuaries, biosphere reserves and areas rich in genetic resources.
� There are no rare, threatened and endangered plant species in the
buffer zone.
Impact on Fauna
� The population of fauna, especially mammals, is found to be low. So
there will be no adverse impact on the fauna existing in the project
impact area as they will migrate to the nearby forests.
� The area is not the migratory route for any wild animal.
� There are no rare, threatened and endangered faunal species in the
buffer zone except Rana tigrina and Varanus which is also found in the
other parts of the district and state.
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 11, Page - 44
(ii) Control Measures to Reduce the Impact on Biodiversity
Control Measures to Reduce the Impact on Flora
� The enhancement of forest area occurs due to measures like
biological reclamation of backfilled area, arboriculture /
afforestation, compensatory afforestation creation of greenbelt and
avenue plantation.
� Water body created by the final voids is beneficial to flora as the
area is prone to water scarcity.
� This project will have no detrimental impact on diversity of floral
species within terrestrial and aquatic habitats.
Control Measures to Reduce Impact on Fauna
� The balance in the regional population will be maintained in
natural course, owing to existing undisturbed forest areas in the
vicinity of the project. The increase in green cover due to
implementation of various measures like biological reclamation of
backfilled area, arboriculture / afforestation adopted by the mine
establishment will be an added bonus, though expected in distant
future.
� The mine is a •zero-dischargeŽ one. If required, water is
discharged only after suitable treatment. No adverse impact on
downstream aquatic life of surface water courses is expected.
� The project is not likely to have impact on the faunal species
diversity within the terrestrial and aquatic habitats.
(H) EFFECTS OF TRAFFIC MOVEMENT AND CONTROL MEASURES
(i) Effects on Traffic Movement
Coal transportation will take place from CHP to rapid loading system
(RLS) through CCT. Both coal transportation road and the siding are
located within the mine lease area. Therefore, effect of traffic
movement within the mining lease area is negligible on residential area.
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 11, Page - 45
� Ambient air on the both sides of the road will be affected due to
RPM, SPM, SO2 and NOX.
� Noise nuisance due to movement of HEMMs.
� Creation of ruts and potholes on the surface of the road.
� Road accidents.
(ii) Control Measures
The following control measures are adopted and shall be continued :
� Plantation on both sides of the roads on the surface.
� Proper maintenance of road to remove ruts and potholes.
� Proper illumination of roads including haul road.
(L) IMPACT ON LAND USE AND LANDSCAPE
� IMPACT ON LAND USE PATTERN
The major direct impacts on existing land use during the pre-mining phase
area the removal of vegetation and resettlement of displaced population. There may
also be landuse changes with respect to agriculture, fisheries, recreation sites,
housing, forestry areas, etc. Land reclamation / restoration of mined out lands may
give rise to enhanced beneficial land use. There will be change in land use for the
expansion project.
There exists major environment impacts due to landscape disruption
particularly visuals (unsightly huge dumps, voids, mine structures, subsidence, mine
fires, etc.). During mining and post-mining phases drastic changes in landscape with
landforms take place. The major associated impacts are soil-erosion, loss of top soil,
change in complete geology, creation of huge dumps & voids, disposal of wastes,
deforestation, etc.
Irrespective of the type of mining used for extracting coal, mining invariably
results in enormous land disturbance … e.g. large scale excavation, removal of top
soil, dumping of solid wastes, cutting of roads, creation of derelict land, etc. Opencast
mining has more potential impact on land than underground mining. With improved
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 11, Page - 46
technology, opencast coal mining is being used extensively because of its cost
effectiveness and productivity; though it results in large-scale land disturbance. The
alteration in land use pattern due to infrastructure is not to be considered as true
change as these facilities can be utilized for some other purposes after the mining
operation is over. The alteration in land use pattern due to activities of quarrying and
external dumping of OB materials may be considered as true change in land use
pattern.

(ii) Cost of mine closure
The mine closure cost has been considered @ Rs 7.90 lakh / ha [as per
WPI (Mar, 2013)] for mine lease area. The total mine closure cost is
estimated Rs. 19893.89 lakhs including compound interest. The Money to be
leived per hectare of mining lease is to be deposited every year after
commencement of any activity on the land for the mine after opening an
Escrow Account. The major expenditure on final mine closure plan will be
incurred during last five years. Up to 20 % of the deposited amount from
Escrow Account can be released every year starting from 4th year before
mine closure date. Balance amount will remain as security. The Coal
Controller•s Organization shall release the fund from the Escrow Account
based on the progress made in closure activites for the mine.
(B) BIOTA CONSERVATION PLAN
� Mine lease area of Lingaraj OC Expn. Project (16.0 Mty) is 1410.01 ha and
buffer zone area is 44376 ha total is 45786.01ha.
� Buffer zone has forest land 3858.0 ha (Dense and open forest).
� Tropical dry deciduous forest is found in both core and buffer zones
with Shorea robusta (Sal) as dominant species. The associates of Sal
are found to be Azadirachta indica (Neem), Madhuca indica (Mahula),
Borassus flabellifer (Palm), etc.
� FLORA CONSERVATION PLAN
� Biological reclamation will be done with endemic species of different
varieties. Similar measures have been taken in other projects of the
area.
� Arboriculture for greenbelt development will be done in this project.
Greenbelt development has also been carried out for other
neighbouring projects of Talcher Coalfield.
� Compensatory afforestation for this project will be carried out. In other
projects of Talcher Coalfield, similar measures have also been taken.
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 11, Page - 52
� Avenue plantation will be done for each project in the area.
The above measures will help conserve the flora of the area.
� FAUNA CONSERVATION PLAN
The report reveals the presence of following wild animals in core and buffer
zones under different Schedules of the Wild life (Protection) Act 1972. All
such animals are found in other parts of the State. The area does not have
any endangered species. However, for conservation following species
present under different Schedules, broad management strategies have been
suggested.

Job No.706111 Chapter … 11, Page - 53
All such animals were found to be present both in core and buffer zones. Any
disturbance in core zone due to mining will force these animals to migrate to
the buffer zone. However, to protect all such animals in the buffer zone the
following broad conservation strategies should be adopted.
a) Protection of existing forest patch of buffer zone and more afforestation
of locally available species in buffer zone to create suitable habitat.
b) Plantation of edible fruit bearing trees in buffer zone which will attract
squirrels, bats and rodents.
c) In buffer zone existing water sources including natural water holes
should be renovated to ensure 365 days year water availability for the
animals.
d) Fire protection and prevention measures should be undertaken,
particularly during summer
e) After the completion of mining in the core zone the species which were
available originally and native to the site should be extensively planted
to restore the original habitat.
As survey and interrogation from local public, it was ascertained that the area
does not belong to the migratory corridor of any endangered wild lives.
However, there is very rare and occasional migration of wild animals like
Bear from the distant forest during incidents of forest fire etc. There is no
such specific migratory route, which can delineate in the map. The study area
does not have any specific, typical and endangered plant species.
�� CONSERVATION PLAN
The following conservation measures are adopted and will be
continued:
(i) Due to biological reclamation and greenbelt development for this
project and other projects in the area, habitats will be created for
fauna.
(ii) As ultimate voids of the quarry will be developed as water
reservoir and the area is having a number of large ponds, the
ground and avi-fauna will get water for drinking.
CMPDI
Job No.706111 Chapter … 11, Page - 54
(iii) As technically reclaimed areas will be revegetated with endemic
species, the avi-fauna and ground fauna will get food and
shelters.
