CHAPTER 3.0ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL MEASURES AND MITIGATING

MESAURES

Opencast mining involves extraction of underneath minerals; it’s dumping, and dumping

of waste along with related operations viz. vehicular movement, drilling & blasting etc. The environmental parameters likely to be affected by this mining project and mitigating

measures are discussed below-

EnvironmentalParameters

Impact Mitigating Measures

Landscape andland use pattern

Land will be degraded due tomining and dumping of waste

Soil will be separately stacked. Waste will bebackfilled after confirmation of non-availability of mineable mineral. Soil will beused for plantation purposes.

Air Quality Drilling, Blasting and

increased vehicular movementdue to transportation of mineral and waste generatesair borne dust.

Proper maintenance of vehicles, water

spraying on haul roads, use of dust extractors;scientific blasting pattern will reduce the airborne dust.

Noise Operation of various miningmachinery and blastinggenerates noise.

Development of greenbelt within miningarea, proper maintenance of machinery,personal protective wears. These measureswill keep the noise within permissible limits.

Water Quality No discharge of effluentswater from the mine. Workingwill no intersect ground waterlevel.

There is no process plant. Mining will bedone above ground water level and there isno run of water from the mine.

Soil Quality Opencast mining will entailthe removal of soil. Soil if encountered will be stacked separatelyand spread evenly over worked out areas forplantation.

Flora andFauna

No endangered species of flora & fauna exists in MLarea as well as in buffer zone.

Plantation within ML area and all aroundwithin the ML area. This will improve thefloral environment of the surroundings.

Forest Land Forest land does not exist inthe lease area as well in bufferzone.

No measure required.

HumanSettlement

Human settlement present inmine area but no human

displacement will be there. Noadverse impact anticipated.

Safe distance made as per DGMS will bekept.

Socio economicprofile

The mining activity changesthe socio economic profile of the region.

In the area where cultivation is little andemployment opportunities presently arevery much limited.Expansion in productionwill generate more employment and improvethe socio economic condition of the people.





CHAPTER 4.0ENVIRONMENT MONITORING PROGRAMME

4.1 AIR

Air sampling stations will be established in core and buffer zone. Air quality

monitoring shall be carried out every as per norms. Proper records will be maintained

in a bound book and result submitted to designated authorities.

4.2 WATER

Regular monitoring of ground water level and quality shall be carried out at suitable

locations. Water samples will be collected four times in a year i.e. Pre Monsoon

(April-May), Monsoon (Aguest), Post Monsoon (November) and winter (January).

The data collected shall be recorded and maintained in a bound book and result will

be submitted to designated authorities.

4.3 NOISE

Noise level will be recorded periodically at mine site near operating machines during

day and night times and records will be maintained.

4.4 LAND

The part of excavated area will be properly dressed and soil will spread over worked

out area. There will be no unsafe voids left behind. Plantation will be done along

lease boundary.

4.5 HEALTH AND SANITATION

Periodical medical checkup of workers will be done and medical facility provided tothe worker. Toilets and urinals will be provided near mine site. Drinking water will be

made available to the workers.

CHAPTER 5.0ADDITIONAL STUDIES

No additional study is required for this mine except public hearing.

CHAPTER 6.0PROJECT BENEFITS

The mining will produce useful Limestone. It generates wealth for the country,

provides employment opportunities to local people, increases their earning capacity

and improves their quality of life.

CHAPTER 7.0ENVIROMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

The mining in the area should propose a time bound management plans so that

impacts on different environmental parameters are minimum at every stage of

mining. For this following plans are proposed.

7.1 LAND RECLAMATION

The following reclamation plan will be adopted in this mine.

(1) At end of the life of mine, total excavation area will be over an area of 730 ha.

which about 167.0 hectares area shall be backfilled & planted. Unfilled area

(536 ha.) shall be made suitable for accumulation of rain water.

(I I) Total plantation proposed over an area of 202.0 ha including on worked out area,

and peripheral of the lease area.

7.2 AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT

Air quality management will be carried out using wet drilling system, controlled

blasting technique, water spraying for suppression of dust, development of green belt

in the mining lease area etc. whereas necessary dust masks will be provided to

workers exposed to high dust emission zones.

7.3 NOISE CONTROL MEASURES

Noise levels shall be kept within permissible limits by proper maintenance of

machinery, periodical noise monitoring, by developing green belt in and around

mining lease area and providing suitable protective earplugs to the workers.

7.4 MANAGEMENT TO MINIMISE IMPACT OF GROUND VIBRATION

AND FLY ROCK

Drilling and blasting will be carried out as per rules. Safety and optimum efficiency

will be assured by adopting proper design of blasting parameters.

7.5 WATER MANAGEMENT

The impact of mining on ground water is not anticipated because the mining will be

done much above the water table. No liquid effluent will generate, so there will be no

chance of polluting the surface water.





1

7.6 SOIL QUALITY

There is soil covering in patches, varying upto 1.0 meter, in the area, which will be

stacked separately and will be spread over worked out area and stabilized by

plantation.

7.7 FLORA AND FAUNA

There is no significant vegetal cover and endangered fauna in and around the lease

area will be taken due care according to the norms decided by the Govt.

7.8 SOCIO-ECONOMIC UPLIFTMENT

The main source of occupation in the area is agriculture. As the agriculture is low

yielding and the economical status is not so good, the proposed production

enhancement will have significant impact in improving the socio economic status of

the area.
