CHAPTER – I

INTRODUCTION 1.0 GENERAL

The proposed Junad Extension OC Project is an extension of existing Junad OC

mine in Junad block located on the western limb of Wardha Valley Coalfield in

Yeotmal district of Maharashtra. The P.R. for Junad OC mine was prepared by

CMPDI in October, 1989 and was sanctioned by the WCL Board in May, 1990 for

a capital of Rs. 19.148 Crores for a production capacity of 0.32 Mty. The actual

mining operations at the project could be started in November, 1998 due to

delay in land acquisition. This is expansion of existing Junad Opencast with mine

able reserve of 6.13 Mt and with maximum coal production target of 1.50 MTPA.

The Form – 1 was submitted to MOEF &CC vide letter no. WCL/HQ/ENV/11-

C/213-A dated 28.06.2014. The project was discussed in the 21st EAC meeting

held on 19.09.2014. As per the minutes of the meeting of EAC, the project was

recommended with generic TOR. Subsequently Generic ToR was issued vide

Letter No. J- 11015/225/2014 – IA. II(M) dated 21.11.2014. As indicated in the

aforesaid TOR, the PH has been completed on 05.02.2013. Based on the minutes

of PH and generic TOR, this EMP has now been prepared for obtaining

Environmental Clearance from Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate

Change.

1.1NEED OF THE PROJECT

There is a substantial gap between demand and availability of coal for the

mines of WCL as a whole. It is in national interest to open new mines/projects &

to go for expansion of existing projects urgently so as to meet the requirement of

coal for power and various other sectors.

The justification of this mine has been studied in the light of estimated demand

for non-coking coal from power sector in Maharashtra and production forecast

from existing, completed and ongoing projects of WCL.

1.2 LOCATION & COMMUNICATION

The Junad Block, covering an area of about 4.05 sq.km is located on the

western limb of Wardha Valley Coalfield and lies in the East of Ukni/Pimpalgaon

Block and south of New Majri – Chargaon block across Wardha river. The area is

bounded by Longitude 79o 3' 9" and 79o 5' 00" E and Latitude 20 deg 1' 5" and

20o 4' 10" N. It is situated in Wani Tahsil of Yeotmal District, Maharashtra and is

covered by Survey of India Toposheet No. 55 P/4.

Junad Block is an interior of under developed region and communication, either

by rail or road, does not exist. However, the block is presently connected by a 3

km fare-weather road with Aheri village which, in turn, is connected with Wani

town towards North-West by a 19 km metalled road. The block may also be

approached by a 3 km road from Ukni/Pimpalgaon project which is being

connected with Wani town via Bhalar village.

1.3 TOPOGRAPHY & DRAINAGE :-

The area of Junad Extension OC Mine exhibits gently undulating topography.The

general slope of the ground is from west to east. The HFL of Wardha river

recorded in New Majri in 1979 was 190.74m and a major portion of the proposed

area is below HFL. The external OB dump of existing Junad OC mine is 15-45 m

high, located in the dip-side of mine.

Junad Block exhibits moderately undulating topography. The elevation varies

from 180.83 m to 195.18 m. The Wardha river flowing from north to sourth is the

main drainage channel of the area. Considerable area of the block including

the potential opencast area for expansion is below HFL 190.74 m of Wardha river

as per national grid.

1.4 CLIMATE :-

Junad Block has extreme climate with maximum temperature of 48oC during

summer months and about 10oC during winter months. The average annual

rainfall is about 1250 mm. The bulk of rainfall takes place during wet months viz.

July, August and September. The maximum rainfall in a day of 24 hrs. was 249.4

mm recorded in Chandrapur on 14.9.1959. The direction of wind is mainly South-

Westerly, Westerly and North-Westerly.

1.5 PRESENT LAND USE PATTERN :-

The entire land to be acquired for extension of the Junad OC project is covered

by black cotton soil and is very fertile and is generally used for growing mainly

the cash crops like cotton, sugarcane, chillies etc apart from standard

agricultural products like rice, wheat & jawar. No village is falling in the proposed

leasehold boundary of the project. All the land losers will be given

compensation as per Company’s norms.

SURVEYING

PREVIOUS SURVEY WORK

The co-ordinates and reduced levels of boreholes were determined with

reference to Base stations A & B located at 2 km in the west outside the block

boundary. The details of these base stations are furnished below.

WCB of A – B = 273 Deg. 06 Minutes 00 Second

Distance A-B = 195.030 m

Survey Work

The reduced levels of the base stations were fixed with reference to reduced

level of Niljai block which in turn were established with reference to reduced

levels of Ghughus Colliery. The bench mark at the Robertson Incline of Ghughus

Colliery with assumed R.L. of 215.93 m was reported as the origin by Colliery

authorities. As such, all the contour values and RLs of boreholes are determined

with reference to these assumed figures. It may be mentioned that the

topography of the area adjacent to Wardha River is constantly changing due to

action of the river water especially during the floods.

Transposition of Grid System from Local Grid to National Grid

In order to determine the co-ordinates of the boreholes in National Grid Co-

ordinates of four boreholes were determined in both the systems as detailed

below:

SEQUENCE OF COAL SEAMS & PARTING

The coal seam in Junad Block is thick Composite Seam, ranges in thickness from

14.82 m (MWJ-50) to 18.83 m (MWJ-24). MECL, however, divided seam in two

parts as Top Section and Bottom Section by a parting ranging from 0.09 m

(MWJ-24) to 2.21 m (MWJ-26).

GEOLOGICAL STRUCTURE

Geological structure of Junad block is based mainly on sub-surface data of

boreholes. Strike is mainly NW-SE, coal seam dips due south west and gradient

varying from 1 in 2.5 to 1 in 3.5 in quarriable area.

Only 3 faults viz. Fault F3-F3, F4-F4 and F5-F5 are intersected in quarry. The fault

F3-F4 is minor in nature and throw is 5 m. The throw of F4-F4 & F5-F5 is 20 m

RESERVES

Based on the data of 61 boreholes drilled by different agencies in an area of

4.05 sq.km. of Junad Block, the opencast (up to 1:7 Coal : OB ratio line) and

underground reserves beyond 1:7 Coal : OB ratio line have been calculated.

AREAL EXTENT OF BLOCK

The limits of reserves estimation are as follows :-

East - Half sub-crop line in North. Eastern part near MWJ-5 & 53) and

also the eastern bank of Wardha river.

West- Seam position against the major fault F1-F1.

North- Southern bank of Wardha river.

South- Eastern bank of wardha river and also seam position against

the fault F1-F1.

The overall reserves of Junad block are grouped as under:-

1) Proved quarriable net in-situ reserves of composite seam estimated

from western bank of Wardha river to 1:7 Coal/OB ratio line.

2) Indicated quarriable reserves from half way of the sub-crop of coal

seam to western bank of river Wardha. This is for coal that occurs below

the river bed.

3) Proved underground net in-situ reserves separately for top and bottom

sections beyond 1:7 coal to OB ratio line.

4) Proved quarriable reserves in the area between eastern bank of

Wardha river and 1:7 Coal: OB ratio have been estimated while the

reserves of coal located below the river bed i.e. between half sub-crop

and western bank of river are grouped under indicated category.

5) For estimating the net geological reserves under quarriable category

and to arrive at the effective thickness of coal, obvious dirt bands of

thickness more than 0.15 are excluded. The bands having thickness less

than 0.15 m however are included. The carbonaceous bands less than

1.00 m are included and more than 1.00 m are excluded to get the

effective thickness.

Total 9 Sectors, Viz. Q1 to Q5 under opencast category and U1 to U4 a

underground category have been identified based on the faults, OCP – UG

limit i.e. 1:7 coal to Overburden ratio line (See Plate – V).

Junad Block is divided into two parts because of upthrown portion by fault F6-F6.

The downthrown portion can be named as river side part with sectors as Q1, Q4

quarriable and underground reserves in U1 & U2 sectors these reserves have not

been considered for the present Junad Extension OC proposed project as

separate mine has to be planned in future.

The upthrown block of fault F6-F6 is the main Junad block consists of sectors Q2,

Q3, Q5 (quarriable) and U3 & U4 (underground) of which only Q3 and part U3

are considered for the present Junad Extension OC project report.

BLOCK BOUNDARIES

The proposed Junad Extension OC mine has been envisaged in Junad block

and is a dip side extension of the existing Junad OC Project. Geological

strucuture of Junad block is based mainly on sub-surface data of boreholes.

Strike is mainly NW-SE, coal seams dips due south-west with gradient varying

from 1 in 2.5 to 1 in 3.5 in quarriable area. It is proposed to deepen existing

Junad OC mine from the floor limit of the quarry as per R.C.E. report (88 m depth

100 m FRL) to 170 m depth about 1:10 coal:OB ratio line (20 m FRL) and will be

named as Junad Extension OC. The geological block boundaries of Junad

block is as follows :

a) Junad Block

East : Half sub-crop line in north-eastern part near boreholes MWJ-51 & 53 &

eastern bank of Wardha river.

West : Seam position against the major fault F1F1

North : Southern bank of Wardha River.

South : Eastern bank of Wardha River and also seam position against the fault

F1F1

Quarry Boundaries

Quarry Boundaries of existing Junad OC Mine as per sanctioned R.C.E. report -

North : Safe distance of 125 m from Wardha river.

South : Safe distance of 125 m from Wardha river

East : Floor of decoaled existing Junad OC mine as on 1.4.2004

(as given by Area Plan)

West : Projected floor as on 1.4.2006 (100m floor contour line, 88 m

depth)

At present, existing Junad OC mine is being worked in Junad geological block.

The Dip side limit of existing Junad OC mine is fixed at 88 m depth which

corresponds to about 100m FRL. Different alternatives have been done in Sector

Q3 and Sector U3 to arrive at an optimum stripping ratio with sufficient reserves

for mining. Alternative 1a, 1b, 1c are studied in Sectors Q3/U3 by deepening of

existing Junad OC mine.

The details of the alternatives done are given in the table below-

Alternative IB is selected on the basis of conservation point of view and

increased reserves resulting in increased life of the project and also from

optimum stripping ratio point of view. The selection of this alternative is also due

to lack of dumping space in the dip side of the block. The mineable reserves

and stripping ratio of Alternative I B considered in this PR is summarized below:-

* Reserves/Stripping Ratio is considered beyond the Quarry Floor limit of

sanctioned R.C.E. of existing Junad OC mine and excludes rehandling of existing

dipside OB dump.

Eastern Boundary (Rise side boundary)

The eastern boundary of the main extension quarry will be the decoaled existing

Junad OC mine as on 1.4.2006 and half subcrop of the composite coal seam in

virgin area in north direction along strike and along fault F4-F4 in south.

Western Boundary (Dip side boundary)

The composite coal seam is dipping in west direction and west side quarry floor

boundary is proposed at 170 m depth at the floor of composite seam which

corresponds to average 20 m FRL as per National Grid.

Northern Boundary

Wardha river is flowing along the northern boundary of Junad block. The floor of

the quarry is proposed such that the quarry surface in north direction is kept at a

safe distance ranging from 125 m from Wardha river. Between surface of the

quarry in north direction and Wardha river, there is a proposed embankment

having width 30 m at the top and height ranging from 6-10 m. Safe distance of

25 m and 15 m is kept from the toe of embankment to the edge of Wardha river

and quarry surface respectively.

Southern Boundary

Wardha river is also flowing along the south-eastern part of Junad block. Thus,

the floor of the quarry is proposed such that the quarry surface is kept at a safe

distance of 125 m from the Wardha river. Between surface of the quarry in south

direction and Wardha river, there is a proposed embankment having width 30 m

at the top and height ranging from 6-10 m. Safe distance of 25 m and 15 m is

kept from the toe of embankment to the edge of Wardha river and quarry

surface respectively. A 400 kV high tension line is passing across the Junad block

at a distance of about 500 m from the southern quarry surface limit. Thus, the

boundary fixation of the extended quarry in southern side is limited by Wardha

river, 400 kV line, safety embankment and also considering optimum quarry

shape avoiding tail shape of the quarry in dip side of southern limit.

MINE PARAMETERS

In Junad Extension OC mine, it is proposed to extend existing OC mine in dip

side upto 170m depth.

MINEABLE RESERVES

GROSS RESERVES IN PROPOSED JUNAD OC MINE

The upthrown block of fault F6 – F6 is the main Junad block which consists of

Sectors Q2, Q3, Q5 (opencast) and Sectors U3 & U4 (underground).(Please refer

Geological Plan of Junad OCP of WCL) This division of sectors in Junad block is

based as per Geological Report of Junad block, June, 1990. As per this G.R.,

reserves upto 1:7 coal:OB ratio line are defined as opencast sectors, and

reserves beyond 1:7 coal:OB ratio line are considered as underground reserves.

However, due to application of hiring HEMMs, greater depths with higher

stripping ratio can be worked by opencast method of mining. Therefore, the

revised geological break-up is given below which considers opencast reserves

upto 250m depth. The proposed Junad extension OC mine has been planned

below the RCE limit of existing Junad OC mine upto a depth of 170m at the floor

of composite coal seam. Therefore, in this report the sectors earlier identified for

underground mining in the geological notes is proposed to be worked by

opencast method of mining upto a depth of 170m.

Sector Q2 is a very narrow patch, bounded between downthrow fault F4-F4 & F5-

F5. The net geological reserve of Sector Q2 is only 0.557 MT and considering its

width and strike, it is not viable for opencast coal mining.

Sector Q5 lies below the Wardha river in south-east direction. The net Indicated

geological reserve of Sector Q5 is 6.99 MT but the opencast mining can be done

only after the diversion of Wardha river.

Sector U4 is a small patch below Wardha river, bounded beyond 1:7 coal:OB

ratio line and boundary fault F1-F1. The net indicated a geological reserve of

Sector U4 is 1.489 MT.

Thereby Sectors, Q2, Q5 and U4 of main Junad block are not considered in this

PR for opencast coal mining.

The sectors considered in this PR are Sector Q3 & U3. The boundary of Sector Q3

& U3 are defined as under :-

Sector Q3 :




South - 1:7 Coal : Overburden ratio line and Wardha river barrier.

Sector U3 :

East - Sector Q3

West - Fault F1-F1



In the proposed quarriable area, the coal seam has split in two sections namely

top section and bottom section with an intervening parting of average 0.8 m

thickness varying from 0.09 m to 2.21 m. Due to steep gradient, it is not feasible

to work this parting separately. In the existing Junad OC mine, the coal is being

extracted along with parting. It is therefore proposed in this report to extract the

top and bottom section of coal seam along with intervening parting as a

composite coal seam. The gross reserve in the proposed extended quarry has

been estimated considering coal thickness from roof to floor.

COAL BLOCKED UNDER VARIOUS HEADS

As stated above, only Sectors Q3 & U3 are considered for quarry planning in

proposed Junad Extension OC. The Net Geological reserve of these sectors up

to 250 m depth is 44.018 MT and upto major boundary fault F1-F1 is 56.943 MT.

The break-up of reserves in Sectors Q3 & U3 up to 250 m depth and beyond 250

m depth to boundary fault F1-F1 is given in following table.

As per sanctiond RCE of Junad OC Mine in 1999, net geological reserves are

3.63Mt (3.26 Mt net mineable reserves). For Junad Extension OC, starting from

1.4.2008, 6.81 Mt net geological reserves (6.13 Mt net mineable reserves) are

proposed to be exploited. Therefore in total, 3.63 Mt + 6.81 Mt = 10.44 Mt

reserves from Sectors Q3 and U3 falls in quarriable area. Balance reserves in

Sectors Q3 and U3 upto major boundary fault F1-F1, is 46.503 Mt. and it falls in

the dip side and southern side of the proposed quarry.

MINING LOSS

To arrive at the mineable reserves from the gross reserves available in the

proposed extension quarry, following mining losses have been considered:-

i) 10% mining loss due to variation in seam thickness.

ii) Loss of 20 cm of coal at each contact point of coal seam thus

aggregating 40 cm (two contact points at roof and floor) which

corresponds to about 2.5% loss.

iii) 0.5% of coal loss for blasting for coal seam

iv) 0.5% loss due to spillage in coal transportation.

Considering the above mining losses, the net mineable reserves in Junad

Extension OC mine are as under:

TARGET OUTPUT AND MINE LIFE

The proposed Junad Extension OC mine has been planned for a target

capacity of 0.60 Mt/annum. The parameters of opencast mine field and

technical conditions of its development make this target feasible with normal

indices namely strike length, width and depth of the excavated block, number

of coal seams, method of mining, location of equipment, deployment, etc. The

target production from extension quarry along with strike length and rate of

From above it is clear that the maximum rate of deepening is about 8 – 9

In proposed Junad Extension OC mine, target production of 0.60 MT will be

achieved in Year-I i.e, in the year 2008-09. With a mineable reserve of 6.13 Mt

and target production of 0.60 Mty, the revenue life of the mine comes out to be

11 years. However for EC, the peak capacity assumed as 1.50 MTPA.

GEO-MINING CHARACTERISTICS

Seam Gradient




Geological Disturbances




SELECTION OF MINING METHOD

The steep gradient of the seam (gradient 1 in 2.5 to 1 in 3.5) rules out the

application of dragline method of working and surface miner working in

proposed Junad Extension OC mine. Shovel-Dumper system has been

considered to be the most suitable method of opencast mining under the

prevailing geo-mining conditions. With Shovel-Dumper system, two stripping

methods are possible:

1. Inclined slicing method &

2. Horizontal slicing method

In steep gradient, positioning of HEMM is difficult in inclined slicing method as

the benches in coal are made parallel to the seam in this method. Hence this

method is ruled out in proposed Junad Extension OC mine. In horizontal slicing,

benches in coal are made horizontal and therefore there is no problem in

positioning of HEMM. In horizontal slicing method, the sump can be made either

on the bottom most horizontal bench in coal or in the roof of coal seam. With

the sump at the roof of coal seam, the coal and overburden benches with

proper grading can be worked in almost water-free condition throughout the

year. However, with this arrangement, initial excavation is high because of the

running slope of quarry is further reduced to this type of sump arrangement. It is

therefore proposed in this report to make the sump at the horizontal bench in

coal in one side of the quarry and to make the coal benches slightly grading

towards the sump.

Thus, the shovel dumper system of mining with horizontal slicing method is

recommended for the proposed extension project with sump at the bottom-

most horizontal bench in coal seam.

The summarized details of coal seam under proposed quarry are as follows:-

2. The depth range 20.57 (MWJ-37) (MWJ-10)

3. The parting range 0.09 m (MWJ-24) 2.21 m (MWJ-26)

Because of very steep gradient of coal seam (1 in 2.5 to 1 in 3.5), it is difficult to

remove the parting between top and bottom section even in horizontal slicing

and with shovel dumper system with blasting method. In the existing Junad OC

mine, the coal is being extracted along with parting. In the Junad Extension OC

mine also, it is proposed to extract the entire composite coal seam along with

parting varying in thickness from 0.09m (MWJ-24) to 2.21m (MWJ-26). The quality

of coal has been assessed taking into account the mixing of parting with the

coal.

System Parameters – Bench Height, Elements of Mining System

Volume Regime

The proposed Junad Extension OC mine is an extension of existing Junad OC

Mine beyond RCE floor unit.

The access trench of existing Junad OC mine, will serve the entry to Junad

Extension OC mine also. Thus the Quarry of proposed Junad Extension OC will

be approached by the existing access trench of Junad OC mine.

To calculate the coal, OB and stripping ratio at different depths in Extension

quarry, cuts have been made at 100m FRL (Cut-I), 70m FRL (Cut-II), 40m FRL

(Cut-III), and upto 170 m depth line (Balance cut). The cut-wise OB and coal in

proposed Junad Extension OC is given below in Table below.

Thus the total mineable reserve in the Junad Extension OC mine is 6.13 Mt with

an average stripping ratio of 8.26 m3/t.

Width and Height of Benches

The maximum height of benches in overburden considered in this report is 10m

which will be drilled and blasted in one go. In unconsolidated strata/alluvium

soil, the bench height is kept as 5m. In coal also, the height of the bench is

considered as 5m. The bench width considered in this report is 20m and 30m for

non-working and working benches respectively for planning purpose.

In final batter of the quarry, the height of the benches in consolidated strata is

10m and a berm of 5m width will be maintained between two benches.

However, in unconsolidated strata/alluvium soil, the bench height considered in

final batter is 5m and the bench width (berm) is 10m. Three to four transport

horizons will be maintained in the batter at an interval of 30m.

Slope of Benches and Quarry

i) During Mining Operation

The slope of individual benches depends on the type of strata. In this report, the

slope of individual bench is proposed as 45o in soil, alluvium and clay whereas it

is 70o in hard strata as well as in coal.

The overall slope of the quarry benches during mining operation varies from 10o

to 20o (from horizontal plane) due to multiple seams.

Rise side batter remains same in the quarry during mining operation or at the

end of the quarry. The overall angle of the rise side batter of existing Junad OC

mine varies from 20o to 35o.

ii) At the end of the quarry

The slope of individual benches in the batter at the end of quarry remains same

as that during mining operations i.e, 45o in soil , alluvium and clay and 70o in

hard strata and coal. The slope of the batter at the end of the quarry in dip side

is flatter in upper horizon because of unconsolidated strata like soil, clay, etc. In

deeper horizon, the angle of batter measured from horizontal plane is steeper

compared to upper horizon. It is 15o to 30o in upper horizon (in unconsolidated

strata) and 35o to 45o in hard strata. The slope of rise side batter is same as

discussed above under point (i).

Drilling and Blasting

The degree of fragmentation in opencast mine has to be optimized so that total

cost of drilling, blasting, excavation, transport and crushing as total system is

minimized. In order to reduce the excessive vibrations at nearby surface

structure, river, road, village, etc. and also to achieve satisfactory blasting

results, an optimized control blasting system depending upon rock formations

using combination of delays and relays will have to be evolved. It is further

recommended that at the time of actual excavation, proper study on ground

vibration should be made with scientific methods.

In proposed Junad Extension OC mine, the powder factor for OB and coal has

been worked out to be 3.0m3/kg and 7.0/t respectively in partial hiring

option.However, it is proposed in this report to undertake scientific study to

assess the powder factor for OB and coal. Adequate capital provision has been

made in this report for above study.

Mine Transport

Shovel Dumper system has been proposed in this report and the coal as well as

OB will be transported by dumpers/trucks.

Haul roads with proper gradient have been proposed for Quarry and the coal

will be transported by dumpers/trucks through these haul roads and existing

access trench of Junad OC mine from quarry to coal stock yard near the

access trench. The gradient of haul roads is proposed as 1:16.

For the transportation of OB, transport horizons (benches) have been proposed

in the dip side & side benches/batter. The OB from benches will be transported

by dumpers/trucks through these transport horizons and ramps to suitable

intervals will be made to join other benches with the transport benches. The OB

below the bottom-most transport horizon can also be transported through the

haul roads where the dump is in rise side.

SEQUENCE OF MINING

The Quarry proposed in Junad Extension OC mine, is below the existing

decoaled Junad OC mine. The total mineable coal and OB in extended Quarry

are 6.13 Mt and 50.62 Mm3 respectively and the stripping ratio works out to be

8.26 m3/t.

2.2 WASTE DISPOSAL & REHANDLING OF EXISTING OB DUMP

Two external OB dumps are proposed in dip side of the extended quarry beyond

the major boundary Fault F1-F1 at a depth ranging from 350-400 m at the floor of

coal seam. The main external OB dump No.1 lies exactly in the dip side of

extended quarry from Aheri village in north to approach road for the project in

south. The dump No.1 is proposed keeping safe distance from Pragati Nagar

township, existing water pipeline, Wardha river and approach road to the

project. External OB dump No.2 is located on other side of approach road.

In addition, about 10.33 Mm3 of OB already dumped by existing Junad OC in dip

side of the quarry over coal bearing area where Junad Extension OCP is

proposed also requires to be rehandled. The capacity of external OB dumps

proposed is about 60.20 Mm3. Remaining 0.75 Mm3 of OB will be used is

construction of safety embankment. The break up of OB quantities in external OB

dumps is given in following table.

i) Dump – 1 25.70 16.92 42.65

ii) Dump – 2 5.80 2.17 17.55

Total 60.20

The entire extension quarry which is 50.62 M.Cu.m. of existing Junad OC mine is

dumped in dump no. 1 and 2 . About 10.33 M.Cu.m. of OB to be rehandled will

also be dumped in dump no.2 (9.58 M.Cu.m.) and also used for construction of

embankment(0.75 M.Cu.m.).

The external dumps have two benches each of 30m height and final angle of

slope is proposed to be kept at maximum 28o.

2.3 COAL HANDLING PLANT & SURFACE DESPATCH ARRANGEMENT

INTRODUCTION

A small coal handling plant is already in operation, installed at Pimpalgaon

project for Junad OCP. The same CHP will cater to the needs of Junad

extension OC. The CHP has facilities for crushing of coal to (-)200 mm size.

Despatch of coal from the CHP to the customer is being done by roadways.

Details are given in the following paragraphs.

COAL FLOW

Rear discharge dumpers or tipping trucks will carry coal from mine and

discharge on to the hopper of feeder breaker. Oversize material will be

broken inside the feeder breaker to crush the same to conveyable size of (-) 200

mm.

A conveyor C1 of 1200 mm wide has been provided below the feeder breaker

to collect (-) 200 mm size crushed coal from feeder breaker along with dust and

mucks from below the chain of feeder breaker.

The coal thus collected is conveyed by the belt conveyor C1 to a considerable

height and then allowed to fall in ground to create coal heap.

Coal heap, thus created, is being liquidated by front-end loaders and loaded in to

Customer’s trucks.

An electronic road weigh- bridge, with printout facility, has also been provided

for weighment, records of bills and despatches.

Provision has now being given in this report for storing of coal in over-head truck.

Loading hoppers, instead of creating coal heap. This will facilitate truck loading

and maintaining the quality of coal. Two numbers of 100te. over head truck

loading hoppers have been provided for this purpose. The conveyor C1,

discussed earlier, will be extended to load these hoppers.

Both the coal hoppers will be provided with a vibratory feeder at their discharge

end for even loading customer’s truck etc. from below these hoppers. The

hoppers will have PCC / reinforced flooring for better life.

Facilities like dust suppression and fire fighting have also been provided in the report.

All the equipment in the plant will operate on 415V, 3 phase, 50Hz. AC supply.

For this purpose a unitized sub station 630kVA, 3300V/440V has been provided.

All the gantries various houses and the CHP yard will be suitably illuminated. The

feeder breaker, the conveyors and vibratory screen will be sequentially

controlled.

v) Uncultivated land is 22.48%.

INFRASTRUCTURE FACILITIES

The houses are made of Bricks or earthen walls with cement or earthen

flooring. The roofs are tiled, sheets and of terrace roof. The grouping of the

houses as per the wall material shows the level of prosperity in the village.

Most of the houses are without toilet facilities of their own and they use the open

land in the village for the purpose. There are no public toilets.

The migration from the villages during the past is not much. The migration is to

the nearest town is for employment / study purpose or for labour work due to the

lack of employment in the village.

Drinking water is taken care of in some villages through pipeline supply. Other

villages are depended on hand pumps. The quality of water is reasonably well.

The difficulty arises in summer when the hand pumps do not yield even half of

the normal water supply.

These villages are connected with Electric lines but power is intermittently

supplied as in all rural areas of the state.

The fuel for cooking purpose is L.P.G, kerosene/ coal or firewood.

Most of the villages are connected with tar / mud roads with state transport

facilities. Motor cycles, Cycles are used for traveling purposes. Bullock carts /

Tractors are used for carrying materials.

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH SURVEY

An occupational health risk is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. The

occupational risk factors account for a number of morbid conditions, including

back pain, hearing loss, chronic obstructive lung disease, asthma, injuries,

cancer, leukemia etc.

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH HAZARDS:

It is observed during the survey that, the habitation is away from the mining site.

Therefore there will be a minimum effect of mining activities on the locals.

The risk of tropical diseases such as malaria and dengue fever is substantial

during the rainy season. Eradication of mosquitoes and improved sanitation will

controlled these hazards effectively.

It is observed during the survey that malaria, dysentery / diarrhea and skin

disorders are common among all the sex / ages.

OCCURANCE OF HISTORICAL/ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES

Wani is tahsil headquarter situated on the bank of Nirguda river. The famous

temple of Shir Ranganarh swami is in this town. Thousands of pilgrims visit the

temple from Falguna vadi to Chitra Sud 15. Wani is an important center of trade

in cattle and bullocks. There are coal mines near Wani. The place is well

connected with important places in the district by state roadways and also by

Rail.

The project is having a Hospital at Township with Bed facilities. There is no

Medical facility available in the villages on regular basis except for intermittent

visiting Doctors (Once a week or so).

The house-to-house sample survey registers the data generally in tune with the

census figures. It also further updates the data particularly in respect of literacy,

persons on jobs, Toilet facilities, housing standards, medical facilities, item of

source of cooking energy, vehicles in villages etc.

PUBLIC AWARENESS AND OPINION ABOUT THE PROJECT

Most of the respondents are aware about the project. 75% respondents have

favorable opinion, 20% have unfavorable opinion and 5% have not given any

opinion.

The respondents were asked to opine about the project. They expected job

opportunities, improvement in educational, transport, medical and Increase in

housing facilities.

Unfavorable opinion can be attributed to increase in environmental pollution,

crimes and increase in the cost of commodities.

3.3 EXISTING LAND USE PATTERN

3.4 Base Line Environmental quality:

SCOPE AND METHODOLOGY

Preamble

The scope of the study (Period – Pre – MonsoonSeason 2013 – i.e. April 2013 to June

2013) and the present report covers the detailed characterisation of the existing

environmental status in the study area for major environmental components viz.

micrometeorology, ambient air quality, water/waste water quality, noise level and

soil quality.

Micrometeorology

As a part of this study, micrometeorology and microclimatic parameters were

recorded by installing a meteorological station at Core zone. Data of wind

velocity, wind direction, ambient temperature, relative humidity and cloud cover

were recorded at hourly intervals in a day throughout the study period. Further

rainfall also has been recorded and reported.

Wind velocity and wind direction were recorded using cup anemometer and

wind vane respectively. Ambient temperature was noted by wet and dry bulb

thermometer. Relative humidity was measured from hygrometer and a self-

recording rain gauge was used for rainfall data collection. Cloud cover data

has been collected by visual inspection.

Ambient air quality

To assess the ambient air quality status, monitoring stations were identified on the

basis of meteorology in the upwind and downwind direction as well as to

represent the cross sectional scenario of the project site. Based on the production

activities, the parameters chosen for assessment of air quality are Suspended

Particulate Matter (SPM) ,Particulate Matter <10 (PM10), Particulate Matter <2.5

(PM2.5), Sulphur dioxide (SO2), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) and heavy metals like

Arsenic ( As), Mercury ( Hg), Nickel ( Ni), Lead ( Pb) and Chromium ( Cr) .

Calibrated Respirable Dust sampler (with an average flow of 1.2 - 1.4 m3/min.)

were used for monitoring of SPM and PM10 and a tapping provided in the

hopper of the same sampler was utilised for sampling of SO2,NOx , with proper

flow controller (1 L/min).The heavy metal like Arsenic ( As), Mercury ( Hg), Nickel (

Ni), Lead ( Pb) and

Chromium (Cr) was also collected in EPM 2000 filter paper by using High volume

sampler. Calibrated APM 550 Fine Particle Sampler (with an average flow of 16.7

LPM) was used for monitoring of PM2.5. A temporary field laboratory for the

purpose of calibration of equipments and standardisation of analytical

procedures was also established.

SPM & PM10

Calibrated Respirable Dust Sampler with Whatman’s GF/A micro fibre filter

paper was used for the determination of PM & PM10 is a measure of particulate

matter having size <10microns.The dust particles having size >10 microns is being

collected in the cyclone and measured. This along with PM10 value gives total

PM.

PM2.5

Calibrated APM 550 Fine Particle Sampler with Whatman’s standard PTFE 47 mm

diameter filter media was used for the determination of Fine Particles (PM2.5).

PM2.5 is a measure of particulate matter having size <2.5 microns. APM 550 Fine

Particle Sampler is based on impactor designs standardized by USEPA for

ambient air quality monitoring.

SO2 (Modified West & Geake Spectrophotometer method)

Ambient air is bubbled at the rate of 1.0 l/min in an Impinger containing a

scrubbing solution of Sodium-Tetra Chloro Mercurate. The resultant complex is

reacted with P-Rosaniline and Formaldehyde to form coloured Para-Rosaniline

methyl sulphuric acid. The absorbance of the solution is measured in a

Spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 560nm. The SO2 is then calculated from

standard graph.

NO2 (Jacob & Hocheiser modified method)

Ambient air is bubbled at the rate of 1.0 l/min in an Impinger containing a

solution of Sodium Hydroxide and Sodium Arsenate. The resultant Nitrite Ion is

reacted with Phosphoric acid, Sulphanilamide and N-ethylene di-amine di-

hydro chloride to form a coloured complex. The absorbance is measured in a

Spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 540 nm. The concentration of NO2 is then

calculated by using standard graph.

Heavy metals

The AAS technique makes use of absorption spectrophotometry to assess the

concentration of metals in the sample. The method is based on active sampling

using PM10 high volume sampler and then sample analysis is done by Atomic

absorption spectrophotometer.

The methodology adopted for sampling and analysis of ambient air quality

parameters are given as follows:

S.No. Parameters Methodology

1 Particulate Matter <10 Gravimetric analysis

2 PM2.5 Gravimetric method

3 Sulphur di-oxide Improved West-Geake-

Spectrophotometric Method

4 Oxide of Nitrogen Jacob and Hocheiser Modified Method

5 Heavy Metals AAS method after sampling on EPM 2000

Filter paper

Water quality

Water samples were collected and analyzed as per procedures outlined in IS-

2488/ IS-3025 / AWWA / APHA. Sterilized bottles were used for collection of water

sample for bacteriological analysis, stored in icebox and transported to the

laboratory for the analysis. Parameters like pH, Temperature, Dissolved Oxygen,

Residual Chlorine, Conductivity, Free Ammonia, Total Hardness, Calcium

Hardness and Magnesium Hardness were analyzed in the field while collecting

the samples. MPN index of Coliforms are determined in the laboratory as per

standard methods.

The analyses were carried out as per the BIS & APHA standard methods.

Noise levels

Ambient noise level measurements in four co-ordinal directions were carried out

using CYGNET sound level meter, with windscreen during daytime as well as night

time. Noise measurements were made at 1.5 m above ground and about 3m

away from walls, buildings or other sound reflecting sources. The readings were

taken from morning 6.0 AM to 10 PM at 4 hours regular intervals which give day

time Noise level. The average Leq values during Day time are reported. Similarly

Night time noise levels were taken from 10 PM to 6 AM at four hours interval.

Ambient noise levels are compared with CPCB Norms.

Soil quality

To assess the baseline soil quality, soil samples were collected from identified

locations in core & buffer zones using augers at depths 30, 60 and 100 cms. The

samples were analyzed for chemical parameters like pH, EC, N, P, K and

engineering parameters like textural class, bulk density, liquid limit, field capacity,

wilting coefficient and available water storage capacity.

3.4.1 MICROMETEOROLOGICAL STATUS

Rationale behind sampling

Meteorological parameters are important factors in the study of air pollution.

The transport and diffusion of the pollutants in the atmosphere are governed by

meteorological factors. Factors like wind velocity, wind direction and

atmospheric-stability are known as primary / basic meteorological parameters

since the dispersion and diffusion of pollutants depend mainly on these factors.

Factors like ambient temperature, humidity, rainfall, atmospheric pressure, etc.,

are known as secondary meteorological parameters as these factors control the

dispersion of the pollutants indirectly by affecting the primary factors. Thus, to

assess the air pollution impact it becomes essential to collect the above-

mentioned meteorological parameters in the project area.

Micrometeorological and microclimatic parameters were recorded by installing

a meteorology station in Core zone as it represents the prevailing

micrometeorological aspects of the study area. During the study period, hourly

reading of wind velocity, wind direction, temperature, humidity, cloud cover

etc., were recorded and reported. Further daily rainfall has been recorded and

reported.

Data presentation & analysis

The micrometeorological data thus collected has been processed and analyzed

as per standard procedures. The seasonal wind distribution is given in the Table

below. Seasonal wind distribution data

3.6 AMBIENT AIR QUALITY STATUS

3.6.1 Preamble

The principle objective of the ambient air quality monitoring is to assess the existing

levels of air pollutants as well as the regional background concentration in and

around the project area. Air pollution forms an important and critical factor to

study the environmental issues in the mining areas. Air quality has to be frequently

monitored to know the extent of pollution due to mining and allied activities. The

ambient air quality monitoring was carried out at eight stations.

The monitoring stations were identified on the basis of meteorology in the upwind

and downwind direction as well as to represent the cross sectional scenario of the

project site. The monitoring network was designed based on the available

meteorological and climatologically norms of predominant wind direction and

wind speed of the study region.

The parameters selected for analyzing the air quality status are Suspended

Particulate Matter <10 & 2.5, Sulphur dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen oxides (NOx) and

Heavy Metals. As per the existing norms, air quality monitoring was carried out on

24 hourly basis for SPM & RPM, SO2 and NOx samples for two days in a week for

twelve weeks in the season. The location details of ambient air quality monitoring

stations are given in the Table below.

3.7 BASE LINE WATER QUALITY STATUS

Rationale behind sampling

Any adverse impact or pollution consequence of water will have serious effect on

the environment. Hence, it becomes important to assess the water quality

periodically in the mining area. Thus, to assess the water quality, five locations are

identified and samples (5 Nos.) were collected and analyzed for physico-

chemical and heavy metal parameters. Bacterial examination was also carried

out to find out the Coliform contamination (if any) at water sources. The water

quality assessment has been made from the following monitoring stations:-

Wardha River, UP Stream - W1

Wardha River, Down Stream - W2

Drinking Water, Kunada Village - W3

Drinking Water, - W4

Bore Well Water,Telwasa Village - W5

In addition the quality of existing mine effluent has also been considered and

given in subsequent pages.

3.8 HYDROGEOLOGY OF JUNAD DEEP OC MINE

Aquifers:

The area in and around the Junad block is mostly covered by Kamthi and

Alluvium / detrital mantle which are concealed under soil layer of limited

thickness. Whereas the area situated in the east of the river is covered by

Kamthis and Talchirs under soil layer. Generally sand / sandstone horizons serve

as aquifer zones whereas shale and clay beds act as aquicludes. Groundwater

occurs below the water table withinthe intergranular pore spaces of semi-

consolidated sandstone and also in secondary porous structures associated with

them.

Groundwater exists under both confined and unconfined conditions in the area.

Unconfined aquifer generally extends up to a depth of 25 m below ground level

(bgl) and occurs in alluvium / detrital mantle and Kamthis. Whereas confined /

semi-confined aquifer is encountered at relatively greater depths in Kamthi and

Barakarformations and is harnessed by shallow / deep tube wells. The types of

aquifers are given in the following table.

Ground water levels:

The depth to water table in unconfined aquifer is being monitored four times in

a year from May’04 located in the core and the buffer zone of Junad Deep

Extn. OCM area. The average water levels in the wells measured from the area

in and around Junad Deep Extn OC area are given below.

Pre monsoon period Core Zone 14.00 to 17.80

buffer zone 3.90 to 12.65

Post monsoon Core Zone 12.50 to 15.25

buffer zone 1.50 to 8.85

The water level fluctuation between the two extreme seasons of pre monsoon

and post monsoon period for the year 2010 and 2011 varies from 0.65 to 5.60 m

with an average fluctuation of 3.4 m in Kamthis and Barakar formation and

about 7.0 m in Talchir formation

Water level trend:

Hydrographs of two permanent observation wells fixed by CMPDI, Regional

Institute-IV are presented in 3.3.1& 3.3.2 to assess the water level trends from

May’04 to Jan’12.

The water level trend of well No (M-33) situated in the core zone (village

Chargaon) of Junad Deep Extn OC mine and about 1 km N-W of existingJunad

The water table elevation ranges from 174 to 200 m above MSL in pre-monsoon

season (CGWB report). The water table in general has a configuration similar to

that of topography but with reduced relief. The direction of groundwater flow in

the water table aquifer is towards the major river Wardha i.e. east and south-

easterly in the area west of the river and west and south-westerly in the east of

the river. Moderate to low hydraulic gradient indicates moderate hydraulic

conductivity of formations. Normally groundwater flows in from recharge zone to

discharge area. The drainage pattern and effluent nature of the Wardhariver

corroborates the flow direction of ground water. It was reported that the dug

wells tapping the unconfined aquifer are with poor to moderate yield. The water

levels in the core zone Junad Deep Extn OC are at deeper level due to

difference of relief between the surface and the base flow of river. The tube

wells located in the core zone of Junad Deep Extn area show water levels from

16 to 17m bgl.

General aquifer parameters-

No detailed hydrogeological investigations have been carried out at Junad

Deep Extn OC mine area. However, the aquifer parameters evaluated by

CMPDI in Wardha Valley Coalfield and Baranj block (nearest to study area) in

particular have been considered and attributed for the study area. The

projected hydraulic parameters of the aquifers in Kamthi&Barakar formations

are as follows:

Hydraulic conductivity: Kamthis - 5.0 m/day

Barakar - 2.0 m/day

Storage coefficient - 7.7 x 10-2 to 9.8 x 10-4

Specific yield : Alluvium(clayey) - 6 %

Kamthis (sandst.) - 4 %

Talchir (sandy sh.) - 2 %

The tubewells constructed in Gondwanas and also borewells tapping different

aquifers/formations in and around Junad Deep Extn OC cumulatively have

registered moderate yield ranging from 2 LPS to 5 LPS. However, the borewells

tapping Talchirs in general recorded low yield varying from negligible to 3.0 LPS

with some exceptions of moderate yield due to secondary porosity and

favourable physical settings. By judicious judgment of these facts and review of

formation logs, the above parameters have been arrived from the wide range

of regional values.

GROUND WATER RESOURCES IN THE AREA

Ground Water Recharge

Precipitation is the main source for groundwater recharge in the area. The

average annual rainfall of the area is around 1150 mm. The quantity of rain

water falling over the study area of 314 Sq.km (10 km radius) is 361.10 million

cubic meters (MCM). The quantum of groundwater recharge (recoverable

reserve) depends on various factors viz. nature of soil cover, geology,

topography, vegetation, intensity and duration of rainfall etc. As per the

Groundwater Estimation Committee, Govt. of India, the rainfall infiltration factor

for Alluvium/Kamthis and Talchirs is around 13% and 4% respectively. Major part

of the area (about 77%) is covered by Kamthis and alluvium. Accordingly,

ground water recharge in Alluvium, Kamthis and Talchir formations has been

worked out to be 41.59 MCM as given below.

Ground water recharge from other sources is negligible since canals;

ponds/dams and other water conservation structures are not available in the

area. Further, negligible area (110 ha only) is under irrigation. However, the

recharge from return waters from irrigation and mine water pumping has been

worked out to be around 0.11 MCM and 1.78 MCM respectively which is equal

to 1.89 MCM. Thus the gross annual recharge of water comes to 41.59 MCM out

of which about 10% (4.16 MCM) goes as the natural discharge to streams / rivers

and other losses thereby net ground water availability works out to 37.43 MCM.

a) Recharge from rainfall : 39.70MCM

i)Alluvium / Kamthis (244 Sq.Km.) - 36.48 MCM

ii) Talchirsarea (70 Sq.Km)) - 3.22 MCM

b) Recharge from other sources : 1.89MCM

i) Irrigation return flow - 0.11 MCM

ii) Return flow from mines effluent - 1.78 MCM.

c) Gross groundwater recharge (a+b) : 41.59 MCM

Groundwater draft:

The groundwater withdrawal is generally for domestic, industry and irrigation

requirement and is quantified as under in Table-4.2.0.1.

Ground water withdrawal is mostly for domestic use since negligible area (110

In addition to the above, groundwater is being pump out by the existing coal

mines in the on west and east of river Wardha to the tune of 8.9 MCM.

Groundwater balance :

i) Gross groundwater recharge : 41.59 MCM

ii) Natural discharge to drains & other

losses (Approx.10 % of item (i) ) : 4.16 MCM

iii) Net annual groundwater availability : 37.43 MCM

iv) Allocation/ projection upto next

25 years for domestic & industrial use : 2.30 MCM

v) Annual groundwater draft for all uses : 11.23 MCM

vi) Groundwater balance (Item iii-iv & v) : 23.90 MCM

Level/Stage of Ground Water Development-

It is seen from the figures of net annual ground water availability and gross

annual ground water draft (11.23 MCM) that surplus ground water to the tune of

23.90 MCM is available for future utilization and development. Thus the present

stage of ground water development in and around the project has been

around 30% which can be categorized as safe area.

As per GSDA and CGWB report of Yavatmal and Chandrapur districts of

Maharashtra, the stage of ground water development in Bhadravati and

WaniTahsilin which Junad Deep Extn Project and its buffer zone lie is 5.95% and

10 % respectively and classified as safe category.

Dynamic & Static resources:

The dynamic and static reserves for the core and buffer zones are estimated by

utilizing the aquifer parameters mentioned at the head of 3.3. The opencast

mine actsas large diameter well/ sink wherein all the aquifers overlying the

working seam would be converted into unconfined state and the inflow to the

mine is contributed from the saturated overburden formation i.e. multiple

aquifer system. However the unconfined aquifer is the most affected in

opencast mining area. The groundwater status in the area has been computed

as under.

The average mine depth of 130 m was considered as exploitable depth for

static reserve estimation in core zone with an area of 462 ha.

Whereas for the buffer zone with an area of 309.38Sq.km. (314.00-4.62), the floor

of unconfined aquifer (25.0 m) has been considered as extractable depth. The

pre-monsoon water level (average) is about 8.50 m bgl in the area covered by

Alluvium/Kamthi and Talchir formations and the water table fluctuation is

around 3.40 m and 7m respectively between the two extreme seasons. The

dynamic & static resources estimated for core and buffer zones are given in

MINE DRAINAGE/ PUMPING

The entire quarriable area is covered by Kamthis varying in thickness from about

10.0 m to 25.0 m which is overlained by soil/alluvium having thickness of 4.55 m

to 7.60 m.. The semiconsolidatedGondwanas are mostly stratified formations

underlying the alluvium/soil. The permeable beds (Sandstone horizons) act as

individual hydrogeological units and develop multi-aquifer system by the

intercalation/interfringing of shale beds. As such under these circumstances, the

groundwater flow/velocity along the bedding planes is higher than across the

plane. It is imperative that horizontal hydraulic conductivity is many folds higher

than the vertical hydraulic conductivity.

The opencast mine acts as large diameter well/sink resulted in by cutting

/extraction of different aquifer zones/formations overlying the working coal

seam. As soon as depression / pit is created due to mine cut, the initial

discharge is generally heavy due to concentration of flow to that region thereby

creating depletion/draw-down in water levels in the surrounding area and the

inflow stabilizes due to partial desaturation over the period of progressive

mining. With increase in depth of incision, the semiconfined aquifer would also

be exposed /punctured thereby the total system would be converted into water

table condition and a cone of depression would be formed by the gravity

drainage from different aquifer zones. In opencast mining, the unconfined

aquifer is the most affected and the semiconfined aquifer is least affected. The

mine effluent & influence is directly proportional to the mine area and depth.

The groundwater inflow computation has been done by utilising the above

mentioned aquifer and mine parameters. The classic Theis equation has been

modified by introducing mine expansion rate and the groundwater inflow to the

mine has been estimated to be around 3000 m3/day (1.1 MCM) at the at an

average quarry depth of 130m.

RADIUS OF MINE INFLUENCE

In the opencast mines, the different aquifers overlying the working coal seam

would be contributing groundwater to the mine by gravity drainage since they

are exposed/removed at the mine. The present mine water inflow during non

monsoon period from the Junad OCM is about 1350 m3/day. The anticipated

groundwater inflow as worked out at the average quarry depth of about 130m

would be about

3000 m3/day. As such due to this pumping, cone of depression would be

formed. The shape and extent of the cone would depend on mainly hydraulic

conductivity and specific yield of aquifers and recharge discharge boundries

and geological structures such as major faults etc. The maximum radius of

influence may expand less than 1000 m from the edge of the mine at the final

depth mine of 170m and at the end of mine age. However the average cone

of influence would be around 600m from the mine edge as determined.

Generally steep draw down cone would be formed in poor potential aquifers

thereby, the influence area would be up to smaller distance and reverse is

established in respect of aquifers with high hydraulic conductivity. The radius of

mine influence area has been estimated for Junad Deep Extn OCM based on

the above mentioned aquifer and mine parameters and works out to about

initially from 300 at the initial depth of depth of 70m to about 1000 m at the final

depth of 170m It may be appropriated to mention here that the presence of

prominent boundaries such as river/water bodies, faults and also interfringing of

sandstone and shale beds may restrict the propagation of draw down cone or

radius of mine influence.

Mine induced effect may be distinctly noticed within a distance of 200 to 500m

from the mine edge in the down-dip side and becomes milder/ insignificant

thereafter. However, the effect is limited/negligible in the up-dip side of the

incrop zone due to shallow mine depth & area and further mine development is

towards dip-side only

3.9 BASE LINE NOISE LEVEL STATUS

3.10 SOIL QUALITY

Rationale Behind Sampling

Soil characteristics, erosion aspects, soil fertility etc., have direct bearing on the

environment. Knowledge of soil parameters is essential for the planning and

implementation of a-forestation. Further, major mining activities affect the soil

regime of the surrounding areas directly or indirectly. Hence, it becomes important

to study the soil characteristics.

By keeping the above aspects in view, three locations are selected in the study

area. Locations are selected in such a way that different type of soils for supporting

different species of vegetation are covered. The soil quality monitoring stations are

furnished below.

Barren Land, Core zone S1

Proposed OB dump, Core zone S2

Existing OB Dump, Core zone S3

3.11 Flora & Fauna

A. INTRODUCTION

Topographically the areas are encompassed by undulating terrain of flat ridges

with fragments of natural vegetation, which is characterized by tropical dry

deciduous forest type. Mean annual temperatures are recorded between 250c

to 400c. Average annual precipitation recorded from 800 to1200mm mostly

during south west monsoon period. Generally the soils are sandy loam but

predominantly sandy brown at slopes of hilly terrain.

B. OBJECTIVE(S):

To generate baseline data on flora and fauna in core and buffer zone of the

project.

To assess environmental impacts and potential damages to terrestrial flora,

fauna and aquatic bodies

To suggest environment mitigation measures and conservation plan for the

biodiversity, of the core and buffer zones.

C. METHODOLOGY:

A natural eco system is a structural and functional unit of nature. It has

components, which exists in harmony and survives by inter dependents. Eco

systems have self sustaining ability and control the numbers of organisms at any

level by cybernetic rule. The effects of these are – that an eco system does not

become imbalance.

Primary survey was conducted to:

Walk through the areas to assess the biological resources which

include plants & animals.

Study of fauna, and

Collection of ethno botanical data

The data on flora & fauna was collected based on field survey in the core and

buffer zone (10 KM radius) and from local offices of forest department. The

results of the study are given in Tables below separately for Core & Buffer Zone

for flora & fauna.

southern Tropical Dry Deciduous Forest. Yet, plantation has also been done by

M/s WCL and Forest Department and is categorized as B-Type forest. The main

constituents of forest are Palash, Sisam, Bel, Babul, Mango, Mahua, Jamun,

Eucaliputas, Kathal, Neem etc.

Trees of terminalla species were found, besides, Palash, Sisam, Teak, Sal, Mango,

Ashok, Kathal, Gulmohar etc. are planted and maintained by M/s WCL and

Forest Department.

The grass land vegetation mainly covered by Moraba, Chor kanta, Dubh, Munj

species, Bans/Bamboo etc.

As there is B-Type forest, hence major fauna elements were absent in this area.

Mainly Fox, Newla, Jungle Cat are observed/reported. No endemic and

endangered species of fauna elements has been reported as per Wild Life

(Protection) Act 1972 and its subsequent amendments. No migratory species

and there path/corridor have been found/reported in the area.

CHAPTER- IV

ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

&

MITIGATION MEASURES 4.1 AIR POLLUTION IMPACT ASSESSMENT

The impact assessment has been carried out dealing with the following

points:

(a) Phase-wise inventory of air pollution emission sources

(b) Impact assessment

a. Phase-wise inventory of air pollution emission sources

The pollution sources are obvious and to assess the impact, the project life

is divided into following time frames:

Operation phase

Post-operational stage

The activities associated with these time frames and having impact on the

ambient air quality along with the pollutants are enumerated in the

following sections:

Operational phase

During this phase, activities necessary for mining of coal, its handling and

transport are taken up. Such activities having impact on ambient air

quality are detailed below:

(i) Drilling : Dust

(ii) Blasting of coal and

overburden

: Dust and noxious gases

(iii) Handling of coal : Dust and noxious gases

(iv) Overburden handling : Dust and noxious gases

(v) Dump formation (internal) : Dust and exhaust fumes from

dumpers and dust till the

development of green cover

(vi) Movement of vehicles : Dust and noxious fumes


During this stage of the project, the activities related to the closure of

mine are to be carried out. Preparation of mine closure plan shall be

carried out during the period four to five years before the closure of the

mine. Some of the activities for the closure are:

Modifications in physical and biological reclamation of backfilled area

Salvaging and shifting operation of HEMMs and other equipment

Clearing of coal and other materials, restoration of infrastructure

area & colony area to the extent possible and necessary if not useful

for other projects

Management of hydrology and hydrogeology.

Redeployment of workforce, etc.

Arrangement & implementation of post-operation monitoring mainly

keeping watch, vigil, etc.

The activities having impact on the ambient air quality are enumerated

below:

(i) Movement of HEMMs for physical

reclamation of backfilled area

: Dust and obnoxious

fumes

(ii) Movement of vehicles for shifting and

salvaging operation of HEMMs and other

equipment


fumes

(iii) Movement of vehicles for clearing of coal

and other materials


gases

b. Impact assessment

The mining and its related activities create ambient air pollution. The

impact of mining on ambient air quality are highlighted in the following

paragraphs:

(a) The ambient air quality is influenced due to the presence of RPM, SPM,

SO2, NOx, etc., which are generated due to various activities like

drilling, blasting and handling related to the project. Further, the

ambient air quality is affected marginally to a varying degree due to

the mining activities of other nearby opencast and underground coal

mines of the same coalfield. The concentration of pollutants may vary

depending upon the various micro-meteorological parameters and

the seasons of a year.

(b) The baseline ambient air quality has been generated at six locations

surrounding the existing Junad OC to assess the present ambient air

quality scenario corresponding to the pre-mining status of the

proposed Deep Extension OC project. The details of baseline data

have been given in previous chapter. All the monitored parameters

are well within the permissible limit. Thus it can be concluded that

although the mine under consideration as well as the neighbouring

mines are operating since long but ambient air quality in the

surrounding area has not been affected adversely.

Now, with the proposed expansion in production capacity in the

existing OC project, there is likelihood of addition of pollution to the

existing concentration level of different attributes of ambient air. Efforts

will be made by implementation of proper abatement measures so as

to maintain the sinking capacity of ambient air to absorb the

additional load, if any, thereby maintaining the quality of ambient air

to the pre – mining level to the extent possible.

(c) Further, as per TOR received from MOEF, AAQ Prediction modeling has

been done with FDM and it has been found that there will be

insignificant increase in the level of pollutants as such there will be

negligible impact on the Ambient air quality due to proposed

expansion of the mine.

Existing Ambient Air Quality Monitoring

The ambient air quality monitoring is being carried out on regular basis as per

the Env (Protection) Amendment Rule, 2000 so as to ascertain the likely load of

various air pollutants and thereby suitably modifying the various control

measures.

Hence , it is expected that pollution load to be generated due to increased

production at Junad OC will be well within the permissible limit as the existing

air pollution control measures will be further strengthened with close monitoring

for efficient & effective implementation of the pollution control measures to

make the operation eco-friendly and it is expected that ambient air quality will

have no harmful effect on human being, flora and fauna, soil quality, surface

structures and aesthetic value of the surrounding environment.

4.2 AIR POLLUTION CONTROL MEASURES

Since Junad OC is an operating mine, the environmental monitoring data

generation is being done at four locations on regular basis as per the Env

(Protection) Amendment Rule published Vide Gazette of dated 25.9.2000. In

addition to data generation, following abatement measures have also been

taken in order to suppress the dust and noxious gases generation to the

maximum possible extent.

4.2.1 Drilling Operations

In order to reduce dust generated by drilling operation wet drilling is done.

4.2.2 Blasting Operation

In order to minimize the generation of dust during blasting, the following

measures are adopted:

(a) Blast holes are properly placed/spaced/positioned.

(b) Blast is properly designed in respect of hole-spacing. Hole placing and

blast design are looked into as a fresh case every time, by a competent

Blasting Officer who takes into consideration the actual geo-mining

conditions of the site.

(c) Blasting is being done between shifts or during the rest interval when the

minimum number of persons is present around the blast area. In order to

quickly disperse the dust generated in blasting operations, blasting is

avoided when there is wind. Blasting is avoided in the mornings and during

cloudy situations.

(d) Adaptation of Controlled Blasting Technique as permitted by DGMS.

4.2.3 Loading & Transport

Movement of vehicles and HEMM on haul roads, particularly when they are un -

metalled, is another major source of dust generation. To minimize dust

generation due to this operation, the following abatement measures will be

taken.

(a) All long-life haul roads and service roads are properly constructed and

metalled. Unmetalled roads are being kept free of ruts, potholes etc.

(b) All haul-roads are regularly sprayed with water. Water sprinklers are

regularly used in the project.

(c) Overloading of vehicles are avoided.

(d) Covering of loaded trucks by tarpauline.

(e) Regular cleaning of transportation roads.

(f) Adequate green belt have been developed all along the coal

transportation road on both sides.

All the above-mentioned control measures will be continued during the

balance life of the project.

2.5 Coal Handling Plant

Lot of dust is generated in coal handling plant during operations like coal

crushing, transfer and conveying. Following abatement measures are adopted

for Coal Handling Plant.

i) Enclosure of the crusher house where maximum dust is generated. Also

installation of dust suppression system in the crusher house (specially

above the hopper in such a way that air borne dust is suppressed without

adding much water to the coal).

ii) Minimising the height of coal-fall at transfer points (to reduce dust

formation) and, if necessary, installing dust suppression measures.

iii) Enclosure of the belt conveyor to reduce the generation of dust due to

blowing wind.

iv) Creation of a green belt on both sides of belt conveyors and around coal

stocks and the CHP building.

Noxious gasses are emitted through exhaust fumes during the operation of

diesel / petrol operated equipment. In order to reduce such emission, regular

maintenance of the diesel / petrol operated vehicles will also be carried out so

that the emissions from these vehicles are under control. However, wherever, the

condition will permit, petrol / diesel operated HEMM will be replaced by

electrically operated ones.

Water sprinkling on coal stock/face, blanketing of exposed surface will be

carried out to avoid spontaneous heating and minimize air pollution.

4.2.7 Plantation to Check Air Pollution

Plantation has been under taken in the mine area as mitigatives measure

against air pollution, noise pollution and to increase the aesthetic value. The

plantation will be developed at suitable places like overburden dump, along

the road sides, unused land etc to arrest as well as reduce the rate of dispersion

of dust generated due to various mining operations viz. quarrying, coal and OB

transportation, OB dumping, CHP operation. Species to be planted

(recommended by Forest Department) in the area are as follow.

a) Ornamental trees viz Gulmohar, Eucalyptus and fruit trees like Mango, Guava,

Jamun and medicinal plant like Neem etc. will be planted in colony area,

schools, dispensary, community buildings, play ground etc.

b) Ornamental shady trees will be planted e.g. around colony along roads, haul

roads, and around industrial buildings etc.

c) The fast growing varieties of trees like Eucalyptus act as sound barriers where

as ornamental shady trees e.g. Subabul, Kikar and karanj will add to the

aesthetic look of the area.

d) The Species to be planted on OB dumps etc are: Gravalia, Robusia, Punis,

Vanetis, Semal, Karanj, Babul, etc

59,325 nos. of trees have ben planted till date on embankment, vacant land & along coal transportation road.

4.3 WATER QUALITY

Impact Assessment on Water

Identification of the sources of water pollution

Likely sources of water pollution from this project along with the type of

pollutants are as follows:

(i) Sanitary (domestic) wastewater : Suspended solids and BOD.

(ii) Industrial wastewater from

workshop

: Suspended solids, oil & grease;

(iii) Wastewater from mine : Suspended solids of coal, clay

and oil;

(iv) Surface run-off passing through

coal stockpiles

: Suspended solids;

(v) Storm water from leasehold

area and built-up area

: Suspended solids.

Impact assessment

Mining and its related activities may create water quality problems. The

impact of mining at the project on both surface and ground water

sources has been assessed and given below:

(a) Surface water sources

Deterioration of water quality and pollution of water bodies due to

discharge of mine effluent, if not treated. Change in relief pattern

due to mining may cause flooding, siltation, choking and pollution.

Mitigatory measures would involve provision of (i) garland drains on

periphery to prevent surface run-off from entering into the quarry ,

(ii) catch drain around the dumps for avoiding siltation and (iii)

sedimentation ponds for reducing the pollution of surface water

bodies.

Possible overflow of water from nearby rivers/nallahs must be

safeguarded by stone pitching and strengthening the embankment

along the side of the water course

In order to assess the existing quality of surface as well as ground

water quality surrounding the project site, water samples from six

locations have been collected & analysed. The details are

incorporated in the previous chapter. All the parameters are well

within the permissible limit.

The mine water discharge quality of existing opencast project is

being monitored regularly as per Env. (Protection) Amendment Rule

, 2000 . The result indicates that even in untreated condition mine

pumped out water does not contain any pollution load.

However, due care will be taken to treat the mine water discharge

by sedimentation for the proposed project. Effluents from workshop

is continue to be treated in ETP and moreover water will be mostly

recycled in Workshop & CHP. As such, possibility of adverse impact

on natural watercourses after mixing is very remote. Garland drain

around the OB dump & coal dump will be made to avoid siltation

of natural water course.

Based on the data collected at the existing coal mine, it can be concluded that

the impact due to proposed mining operation, the adverse impacts on water

both surface as well as ground water will be insignificant.

4.3.1 WATER POLLUTION CONTROL MEASURES

Salient controls measures have been taken are as follows:

i) Industrial Effluent

The wastewater from workshop and CHP, which normally remain laden with oil

and grease, suspended and dissolved solids etc. are treated in the Effluent

Treatment Plant (ETP). Clear water coming out from the treatment plant is taken

into the closed water circuit and recycled for its reuse. All parameter of ETP

waste discharge are monitored regularly as per Env. (Protection) Amendment

Rule, 2000 and found to be within permissible limits.

ii) Mine Water

Most of the suspended particles are settled in the mine sump as initial settlement

and the supernatant water is pumped out. This water is passed through

sedimentation pond on surface, before being discharged in to natural drain.

iii) Surface Run-off

Adequate numbers of vegetation will be grown on the top surface and slopes

of the dumps in order to arrest the erosion of soil and it also reduces surface run-

off, which helps averting siltation of natural watercourses.

Catch drains of suitable size have been provided around periphery of the OB

dump as well as soil dumps to arrest site and sediment flows from the respective

dump sites.

In case of OB benches in the quarry, cross drainage have been provided which

carries silt and sediments into main sump made at the floor of the seam which

will accumulate all the silts and act as first stage settling pond. The water is then

pumped out through pumps on to the surface and discharged in to surface

settling tank/sedimentation pond. The clear water from the surface

sedimentation tank is used for watering the mine area, roads and green belt

development. The catch drains mentioned above are regularly desilted and

maintained properly. In addition, garland drains have also been provided

around the periphery of the excavated area, which carries surface run off and

the drains are regularly desilted before onset of monsoon.

These drains allows accumulation of silt materials and sufficient retention time for

settling of silt materials.

The domestic sewage disposal arrangement has been provided in the township.

Regular water quality/effluent quality monitoring is also carried out so as to

ascertain the likely load of pollutants and thereby suitably modifying the control

measures.

The existing water pollution control measures can be summarized as below :-

MINE WATER :- TWO STAGE SEDIMENTATION

INITIAL SEDIMENTATION - AT MINE SUMP

(SIZE- 800mX60mX4m)

FINAL SEDIMENTATION - SEDIMENTATION POND AT

EXISTING WATER POLLUTION CONTROL MEASURES

In addition to the above, provision have also been made for augmentation/

strengthening of existing sedimentation pond as well as Workshop Effluent

Treatment Plant.

4.4 IMPACT ON HYDRO-GEOLOGICAL REGIME

The mining activity creates dis-equilibrium in environmental scenario of the area

and disturbs the groundwater conditions/regime in particular. The impact on

water regime due to mining activity can be broadly classified as under :

i) Impact on topography & soil

ii) Impact on surface water and quality

iii) Impact on groundwater & quality

A brief description/out-line on these aspects are given below :

Impact on topography & soil:

A local change in ground topography will be created at Junad Deep Extension

OC mine area due to mining operations such as open pit, embankments,

dumps of overburden and coal, diversion of nallah and roads, mine voids etc.

As a result, there would be marginal change in the drainage and surface run-

off. During these courses, soil is most susceptible for changes due to erosion,

leaching phenomena/process etc. Further the fine dust particles of coal &

overburden may adversely affect the physical & chemical characteristics of

soil.

Within the core zone area, cracks and loosening of soil would be resulted in due

to mine and associated activities such as drilling, blasting etc thereby

physical/texural changes would occur in soil/formations. This mine induced

process increases the rate of infiltration and recharge. The studies carried out in

Wardha Valley coalfield have established that rainfall-infiltration rates have

been increased by 100% (doubled) in the core zone area of opencast mines

thereby increasing the scope of groundwater recharge. So also the back filled

area may be a good media for high groundwater recharge due to high-

induced permeability. Further, the void proposed to be left out would store

substantial quantity of rain water which can be utilised for domestic &

agriculture use and also for recharging the groundwater source. It may be

appropriate to high light the fact that temporary groundwater loss/deficit

created during activemining stage would be compensated by these different

means in the post mining stage so that the initial groundwater levels are

regained to normalcy at the earliest for the utility of the area. Appropriate

reclamation measures would be adopted to normalize the ground topography

and soil as far as possible. However, overburden dumps, embankments etc. are

unavoidable structures to be left in the post mining stage.

Impact on surface water & quality :

As mentioned earlier, there would be minor change in the ground topography

and infiltration capacity/rate of soil/formation due to mining operations resulting

in some local change in drainage pattern and surface run-off in core zone. It is

established that high infiltration zone would serve as good media for high

groundwater recharge and reduces the surface run-off considerably in the core

zone. In view of this, the mine has to handle more water in the monsoon besides

the additional contribution from the surface run-off from the catchment area. As

such the surface run-off contribution to the natural drains from the mining area

would be minimum thereby some minor change is expected in hydrologic

regime of the river/nalla system.

The surface run-off from the dumps of overburden material and coal and mine

water discharge/effluent are laden with suspended particles of coal and other

associated materials. This water is collected by foot drains with stoppage

arrangement and passed through sedimentation tank/pond. This treated water

will be utilised for mine site requirement and the surplus would be utilised to

supplement the water shortage for domestic & agriculture use of villages if

required or otherwise discharged into land surface/natural drains.

Impact on groundwater & its quality:

Mining is associated with groundwater problems, particularly when it is below

water table. The impact of mining on groundwater is dependent mainly on mine

and aquifer parameters, groundwater recharge-discharge process etc. In the

opencast mining, the unconfined aquifer gets affected more whereas the

semiconfined aquifers are least affected due to continuous gravity drainage

and conventional sump pumping or advance dewatering schemes for efficient

and safe working. As such, during this exercise, basically the water level is to be

depressed/depleted below the working seam depth in which case large scale

mine water pumping can not avoided.

Consequently the mine dewatering would drain out some area around the mine

with decline in groundwater levels. However, these mine-induced effects are

temporary as increased infiltration rate at as rain water harvesting to balance

the mine dewatering. Further, the mine effluent would contaminate the other

resources of water if discharged untreated. The expected mine effluent from

Junad Deep Exn. OCM area would be no different from the exiting mine

possessing similar hydrogeological sep-up. However, water quality monitoring

would be undertaken at the stipulated intervals immediately after the mine

development starts and continued during the mine life.

Groundwater inflow and mine influence area have been estimated and the

groundwater monitoring would be undertaken as corrective measure to avoid

adverse effects. The mine discharge after passing through sedimentation pond /

tank would be discharged into land/natural drains with earthen check dam at

suitable locations so that the groundwater gets additional recharge by the

return flow. The artificial recharge by water conservation structures in mine

influence area proper may not be a viable solution because of the reason that

recharged water would drain to the mine at a faster rate due to the steep

hydraulic gradients resulted in during mining activity. As mentioned earlier the

mine impact may be for temporary period during mine life and the area would

regain the normalcy/benefits in many ways by appropriate reclamation

measures during post-mining period. However, the temporary water shortage in

the mine influence area would be supplemented from the treated mine water

discharge for both domestic & irrigation use of affected villages if any.

WATER POLLUTION CONTROL MEASURES



The waste-water from workshop and CHP, which normally remain

laden with oil and grease, suspended and dissolved solids etc. is

being treated in the Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP). Clear water

coming out from the treatment plant is taken into the closed water

circuit and recycled for its reuse. All parameter of ETP waste

discharge are being monitored regularly as per Env.(Protection)

Amendment Rule, 2000 and have been found within permissible

limits.

ii) Mine Water

Most of the suspended particles are settled in the sump and the

supernatant water is pumped out. This water is passed through

sedimentation pond, before being discharged in to natural drain .


Adequate numbers of vegetation is already grown on the top

surface and slopes of the dumps in order to arrest the erosion of soil

and it also reduces surface run-off, which helps averting siltation of

natural water courses.

In Junad Extn OC mine will have garland drain along the periphery of the OB

dumps to make the surface run – off to pass through the settling lagoons before

it is either put to reuse or allowed to enter into surface water course.

In addition to above adequate sewage disposal arrangement exists in the

township.

Remedial measures to control ground water depletion

The following methodology and remedial measures have been taken to

minimize the mine induced impact on ground water levels and also adverse

effects in the area.

(i) Artificial recharge to ground water system at the periphery of the

anticipated influence area by local stagnation in low lying areas/drains

by providing low height dams/bunds or by injection of mine water

discharge, surface water through tubewells /percolation structures.

(ii) The water shortage in the villages, if any, in the influence area can be

supplemented by supply of water from outside source or from the mine

water after treatment.

(iii) Sprinkler irrigation system is recommended to support agriculture in the

mine influence area thereby water rehandling is avoided at the mine.

(iv) While reclamation of the mined area, void at the deepest portion of

the pit has to be left. This residual pit void would initially serve as

access for future expansion and subsequently it could be

backfilled.

(v) Well water monitoring in nearby villages is being carried out quarterly

as per MoEF' guidelines. No adverse remarks have so far been observed.

(vi) Regular water quality/effluent quality monitoring is being carried out

so as to ascertain the likely load of pollutants and thereby suitably

modifying the control measures. As seen from Analysis Data, the mine

pumped out water does not contain significant pollution load and the

discharge water quality even without treatment is quite satisfactory.

4.5 NOISE QUALITY

In order to assess the existing ambient noise level in the surrounding of proposed

project site corresponding to pre-mining scenario ,baseline noise level data has

been generated & details are enclosed as Annexure – III. All the values are well


Proposed mine would be associated with following activities that may generate

noise during operation :

(a) Drilling

(b) Blasting

(c) Shovel operation

(d) Dozing

(e) Movement of dumper

(f) Operation of CHP / Workshop

The following are some of the important activities responsible for high noise level

generation, with their expected noise levels :

a. All mining activities i.e. drilling, blasting, shoveling, dozing and

dumping are associated with high noise level [about 100 dB(A)].

b. Operation of most HEMMs produce high noise level. The noise level

are in range of 80 – 100 dB(A). Noise level have been found to be

related to engine capacity.

c. Crusher – General noise level due to crusher ranges from 90 dB(A) –

105 dB(A). Some of noisy equipment produce noise whose level is

around 120 dB(A).

The average sound pressure level of some of the HEMM associated with mining

operation which are responsible for high noise level generation are as follows :

EQUIPMENT NOISE LEVEL

[dB(A)]

Dozer 98

Dumper 92

Power shovel 93

Drilling machine 96

ACCEPTABLE INDUSTRIAL NOISE LEVEL

As per Env. (Protection) Amendment Rules, 2000 the ambient air quality

standards in respect of noise in industrial , commercial , residential and silence

zones area as follows :

2. Commercial 65 55

3. Residential 55 45

4. Silence zone 50 40

Assessment of the degree of noise to which a workplace noise is harmful, is done

by comparing the values measured at workplace to the permissible limit

adopted by statutory bodies like DGMS.

The Director General of Mines Safety vide their circular no. DG ( Tech.)/18 of

1975 has prescribed the permissible limit for noise level as 90 dB(A) , for the

workers engaged in mining occupation likely to be exposed to in an 8 hour shift

period with unprotected ear . Whereas , the following table shows the maximum

permissible noise exposure levels , as per American Standards , for the industrial

workers.

EXPOSURE TO PULSE OR IMPACT NOISE

SHOULD NOT EXCEED 140 dB(A)

The impact of mining on ambient noise quality are highlighted in the following

paragraphs:

(a) The ambient noise quality is influenced by various activities like drilling,

blasting and material handling related to the project. Further, the ambient

noise quality is affected marginally to a varying degree due to the mining

activities of other nearby opencast and underground coal mines of the

same coalfield.

(b) The baseline ambient noise quality has been generated at six locations

surrounding the existing Junad OC to assess the present ambient noise

quality scenario corresponding to the pre-mining status of the proposed

Deep Extension OC project. The details of baseline data have been given

in previous chapter. All the monitored parameters are well within the

permissible limit.

(c) Thus it can be concluded that although the mine under consideration as

well as the neighbouring mines are operating since long but ambient

noise quality in the surrounding area has not been affected adversely.

Now, with the proposed expansion in production capacity in the existing OC

project, there is likelihood of addition of noise load to the existing concentration

level of ambient noise. Efforts will be made by implementation of proper

abatement measures so as to maintain the sinking capacity of ambient noise to

absorb the additional load, if any, thereby maintaining the quality of ambient

noise to the pre – mining level to the extent possible.

4.5.1 NOISE POLLUTION CONTROL MEASURES

Monitoring of the noise control will be carried out on regular basis as per the Env

(Protection) Amendment Rule 2000. While planning for an effective noise

attenuation measures, the concept of source, path and receiver has been

considered.

(A) Noise Control at Source

There are two areas where the noise generation can be checked at source.

(i) Proper Design

Since the generation of noise can be reduced by reducing the vibration

amplitude, the area of vibrating part and frequency of vibration will be taken

care that all loose contact between metal parts avoided.

(ii) Proper Maintenance

All machines and equipment will be properly maintained. Sound muffler system

and bearing lubricating system etc. of equipment will be kept in proper

condition.

(B) Noise Control at Receiver End

Even after adopting above measures, if desired noise level is not achieved at

receiver end, in that case, following measures are suggested:

(a) The workers exposed to high noise level are provided with earplugs.

(b) Provision of enclosed booths at the worksite to protect worker from noisy

environment.

Points for reclamation of void of Junad OC Extn. mine

i. Due to steep gradient and in order to maintain proper haul road of 1 in 16

gradient it will not be possible for backfilling of the void in the present

proposal.

ii. In order to backfill the void of Junad Extn. OC to the extent of –35 m it is

proposed that the OB of adjacent Pimpalgaon Extn. OC could be utilized.

iii. The approx. quantity of OB of proposed Pimpalgaon Extn . OC is 200 M.Cu.m.

and is at a distance of about 5 k.m.

iv. This will simultaneously help in reduction of land required for external OB

dump of proposed Pimpalgaon Extn. OC.

Land Reclamation Monitoring

Land restoration / reclamation monitoring of fourteen opencast coal mines

including Junad OCP of Western Coalfield Limited (WCL) producing less than 5

million cu.m. (Coal+OB) per year, based on satellite data on regular basis at an

interval of three years has been started w.e.f 2011.

Objective of the land restoration / reclamation monitoring is to assess the area

of backfilled, plantation, social forestry, active mining area, water bodies, and

distribution of wasteland, agricultural land and forest in the leasehold area of

the project. This will help in assessing the progressive status of mined land

reclamation and to take up remedial measures, if any, required for

environmental protection.

4.6.2 PROGRESSIVE & FINAL MINE CLOSURE PLAN

A. OBJECTIVES OF CLOSURE PLANNING

Mine closure planning has to be carried out at the starting of the mine and

needs periodic reviewing and revision during its life cycle to cope with the

geo-technical constraints, safety and economic risks, social and

environmental challenges. Various other objectives are as follows:

(a) To allow a productive and sustainable after-use of the site which

is acceptable to the mine owner and the regulatory authority;

(b) To protect public health and safety;

(c) To alleviate or eliminate environmental damage and thereby

encourage environmental sustainability;

(d) To minimize adverse socio-economic impacts.

B. DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF MINE CLOSURE PLANNING

The mine closure planning broadly involves the following aspects:

(a) Technical aspects;

(b) Environmental aspects

(c) Social aspects;

(d) Financial aspects.

C. MINE CLOSURE OBLIGATIONS

There is need to define the liabilities, responsibilities and authorities of the mine

management, other regulatory bodies, Central and State Governments after

mine closure. Some obligations relating to the Mine Management

Companies are as follows:

(a) Health & Safety: Regulation Nos. 6, 61, 106, 112 of Coal Mines

D. CLOSURE ACTION PLAN

Closure planning is a whole-of-life exercise that begins at the start of a mine

and continues till post-closure. The dynamic nature of closure planning

requires regular and critical review to reflect changing circumstances as a

result of any operational change, new regulation, new technology and

remain flexible enough to cope with unexpected events.

The following steps have to be undertaken in relation to Mine Closure

Planning:

(a) Prior to the surface demolition/restoration a surface audit should be

undertaken on all surface structures, spoil heaps, lagoons, etc. to assess

whether there are any hazardous materials that could cause problems;

viz. explosives, chemicals, etc. A list of surface assets should be

prepared and made available to potential purchasers, prospective

purchasers could be invited and asked to submit sealed bids, this could

ensure that the sale of assets give better financial gain.

(b) In order to identify potential impact, necessary hydro-geological studies

into post-mining ground water recharge has to be done. The void of the

mine can be proposed as a water resource to be utilized for aqua-

culture.

(c) Work force on roll of WCL may be re-deployed for gainful utilization of

employees of WCL.

(d) As a detailed component of the Closure Plan, a Decommissioning Plan

is to be developed towards the final stages preferably 5 years prior to

tentative closure of the mine. Once established, it may be updated

annually.

E. PROTECTIVE MEASURES TO BE TAKEN

Protective measures must include the following:

(a) The protection of mine boundary, building and other structure on the

project site against access by unauthorized persons;

(b) The maintenance of all mechanical, hydraulic and waste management

system;

(c) The continuation of all monitoring programmes;

(d) The control of all contaminated effluents;

(e) The securing of all petroleum products, chemicals and waste;

(f) The rendering of all tailings, dams and piles of earth, rock and waste

resulting from work done on the project site in a stable and safe

condition.

F. CLOSURE COSTS

A financial provision of Rs. 6.00 lakhs per ha will be provided in the the Mine

Closure Plan as per guidelines of MoC for the entire life of the mine to

undertake mine closure activities (for plantation in slope of dumps & quarry,

for protection of mine boundary and continuation of monitoring programme

and control of contaminated effluents). Closure cost may be reviewed under

the changing circumstances and new legislative requirements.

4.7 Blasting vibration control measures

All provisions of Coal Mines Regulations will be followed.

The quantity of explosive will be decided as per condition imposed by

DGMS.

Blasting will be done in daytime during the shift change over period as per

requirement keeping in view DGMS permission, meteorological conditions,

geo-mining condition and method of mining.

Proper conformation to measures for safe blasting, to avoid damage to any

structure or annoyance to the people in the colony area or neighbouring

villages.

A safe blasting 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.

Controlled blasting will be done near built-up areas

4.8 Impact on flora & fauna

There is no forest land in the core zone.

o There is no endangered and endemic species in core and buffer zone .

o The area is not the migratory route for any wild animal.

o 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 etc.

o WCL in association with local people will make all efforts to conserve the

flora & fauna in the immediate surrounding of the mine area.

CONTROL MEASURES TO REDUCE IMPACT ON FLORA AND FAUNA

The enhancement of forest area will occur due to creation of greenbelt.

This project is not likely to have any impact on diversity of flora & fauna

species within terrestrial and aquatic habitats.

WCL in association with local people will make all efforts to conserve the


Mine water will be discharged only after suitable treatment to natural

water course. So, no adverse impact on downstream aquatic life of

surface water courses is expected.

4.9 Visual/Aesthetic Impacts

Suitable mitigatory measures will be taken to eliminate spots of eyesore due to

excavation of coal and OB as well as transportation, water logging by provision

of proper drainage, land reclamation (both technical and biological) and

afforestation.

Hence it can be concluded that the mining activities at proposed Junad Deep

Extension OC mine will not affect the different attributes of environment to any

significant extent.

VISUAL/AESTHETIC EFFECT CONTROL MEASURES

Regular supervision to detect the spots of eyesore and to remove the

same immediately.

Proper housekeeping is envisaged.

Physical and biological reclamation of mined out land to the extent

possible to ameliorate the environment.

6.2 Disaster Management Plan

The project report has been drawn in conformity with the prevailing statutory

provisions as per Mines Act 1952, CMR 1957 applicable for safety in Opencast

Mines. However, the following matters related to safety during opencast

operations has been given a special consideration.

The rain water falling within the project area would be diverted from quarry area

providing garland drains and shall be collected towards low lying area.

However, sufficient space has been left between quarry boundary and Wardha

River for accommodating flood protection embankment.

The bench height and width would be kept as per the Statute. The gradient of

haul road should not be steeper than 1 in 16. Adequate care must be taken for

proper construction and maintenance of haul road.

The HEMM deployed in the project are equipped with suitable in-built safety

devices like audio-visual alarm, fire extinguishers, etc.

The fencing should be erected round the quarry surface so that entry to

unauthorized persons is checked. Hard hat, safety boots, dust respirators, etc.

has been provided for safe working. Necessary fund provision has been made

for the same.

SAFETY ASPECTS FOR BLASTING OPERATIONS

As explosives are required in bulk for blasting in opencast mines, provision of

Regulation-16A of CMR, 1957 should be ensured.

All blasting operations are carried out in day light. Suitable precautions are

being taken as per the Statute before and after blasting operations. Controlled

blasting technique are being practiced to minimize fly off rocks and ground

vibrations and keep them within safe limits. In order to keep the ground

vibrations within the permissible limit as per DGMS Circular No. 7 of 1997 to avoid

flying of rock fragments and also to achieve satisfactory blasting results,

optimized drilling/blasting parameters depending upon rock formation using

combination of relays/delays have been evolved.

SAFETY ASPECTS FOR OUTSOURCING/HIRING OF HEMM

Special precaution should be taken while deploying workers in the mine. Before

employing any labour to the mine proper vocational training should be

imparted and recommendations of VIII Safety Conference should be strictly

followed. Terms and conditions shall be fixed by management for deployment

of labours by leaser of HEMM as well as machineries. Some of the major

aspects are as follows :

A) For persons :

i) No persons shall be deployed unless he is trained at VTC

ii) Records in Form-B & Form-D shall be maintained.

iii) Records of Vocational Training Certificate and driving license of

operators shall be kept by HEMM outsourcing agency and shall be

made readily available for inspection by management

iv) Salaries shall be distributed in front of management representative

v) No person shall be employed unless person holds VTC certificate

management.

ii) Daily welding, monitoring, inspection shall be done by the HEMM

outsourcing agencies mechanic as directed by management.

iii) Machine manufacturers should be asked to give risk analysis.

iv) Suitable type of the fire extinguishers shall be provided in

machines.

C) General:

No person/vehicle shall be deployed at any place other than authorised

place.

All workers should obey lawful instruction of mine management.

Risk Management Plan of tipper/pay loader shall be made and

implemented.

All drivers shall obey systematic traffic rules prepared by management.

Before deploying workers they must be trained and briefed about safety

aspects in opencast mine. However during course of execution of the work, if

any accident occurs whether major or minor, the matter shall have to be

immediately informed to mine management i.e., Colliery Manager/Agent/GM

of Area so that Notices of accidents in accordance of (Reg. 9 of CMR 1957) and

Section 23 of Mines Act 1952 may be given and other necessary steps may be

taken in accordance of Section 23 of Mines Act 1952 & Reg. 9 of CMR 1957 and

other relevant laws.

MODEL TRAFFIC RULES FOR HEMM & LIGHT VEHICLES

Suitable traffic rules as per recommendations of VII Safety Conference may be

framed by Manager and implemented to ensure safe operation of dumpers,

light vehicles and other HEMM deployed in the project.

6.2.1 PRECAUTION AGAINST FIRE

(1) Wild or herbaceous plants shall be removed from the mine.

(2) No person shall deposit heated material or ashes on any opencast

working. Also no person shall light a fire or permit a fire to be

lighted in any OC working except by the permission in writing of

the Manager and only for a special purpose specified therein.

(3) No coal shall be left exposed in coal benches more than its

incubation period to avoid fire in seam due to spontaneous

heating.

which or skids and having portable diesel generating set.

6.4 DUST SUPPRESSION

For suppression of dust water sprinkler has to be provided. Suppression of

mine dust may be done by using suitable bond, for methodology of

application DGMS Circular No.8 of 1997 may be referred.

6.5 SLOPE STABILITY

It is suggested that following action may be taken to deal with slope

stability problem.

i) Vulnerable area may be identified and marked on quarry plan.

ii) Observation of actual alignment of fault, its throw, joints, etc. may

be recorded during the process of exploitation.

iii) Water drainage system may be properly implemented to prevent

accumulation of water in cracks. Also dumps shall be leveled to

prevent accumulation of water over it. Proper drainage in dumps

shall be also provided to prevent erosion of toe of dump.

iv) Regular monitoring of tension cracks, horizontal and vertical

movement of strata in critical area may be done.

v) Rise side slope to be reinforced if required because it has to stand

through out quarry life. No dumps/surface structures to be located

within 15m of quarry edge as it will act as surcharge there by

destabilizing the slope.

vi) No undercutting of slopes to be done.

vii) Proper hydrogeological studies to be done if water table is at level

of slope it should be brought down by using submersible pumps to

prevent hydrostatic pressure.

viii) Proper selection of site for dumping to be done before dumping

place shall be made free from loose material. Dumping shall not be

done at an angle more than angle of repose of material being

dumped .

ix) After completion of dumping operations dumps to be stabilized by

growing vegetation.

x) Every person deployed by leaser of HEMM must be trained &

briefed about aspects related to slope stability.

6.6 HEIGHT & WIDTH OF BENCHES & MANNER OF EXTRACTION

Height of benches (both in coal & OB) shall in no case be more than

cutting/digging height of excavation.

Width of bench in coal & OB shall not be less than :

Widest equipment + 5m Ht of bench

3x largest dumper’s width.

Width of bench adopted as the maximum value amongst (a), (b) & (c)

Each cycle of operation shall consist removal of overburden followed by

extraction of the exposed coal. After extraction of coal no body shall be

employed/no work to be done at any of the benches or bottom of quarry till

benches in OB & coal are provided again from top downwards and coal is

again exposed.

6.7 RISK MANAGEMENT :

Ninth Conference on Safety in Mines recommended to adopt Risk Management

as a tool for development of appropriate health & safety management in Indian

Mines.

The Safety Management System established by a mine must ensure all risk are

identified and critical risks are controlled to ensure long term health and safety.

A Safety Management System should set the culture, framework and actions

necessary to ensure that mining operations are carried out safely.

In order to turn these commonly agreed principles into an effective safety

management system for the mine, the system may include the following

elements:

- Health & Safety Policy of the company and the mine

- Roles and Responsibilities of all levels in the organization

- Specified competencies of staff

- Safety Committee, formation and role

- Method to identify and control high risk

- Forward Programme to ensure actions to control hazards are carried out

- Emergency prepardness to cope with a hazard if it should occur

- Monitoring processes for all identified hazards with or without residual

risks

- Identification of trigger points and resultant actions if these are reached

- Safety clearance for new equipment, work methods and materials used

- Accidents Statistics collection, analysis & Actions.

- Reporting and record keeping requirements

- Auditing and review process.

6.8 CONSERVATION

Quarry limits are finalized in such a way to exploit maximum possible coal.

Although for calculation of mineable coal reserves, 10% mining losses has been

taken into account, but, in practice, all efforts would be made to minimize the

losses. If these losses are minimized to 4.5% (15 cm at each contact zone of coal

& OB + 0.5% due to blasting + 1% due to transportation of coal) then coal

reserves may increase by about 0.84 Mt, which, in turn, may reduce stripping

ratio by about 0.57 m3/t.

Separate excavator will be engaged for mining coal. OB benches would be

kept sufficient advanced to avoid mixing of coal and OB.

6.9 Socio-economic Impact

The socio –economic impacts of the project is given below.

Although a few mines already exist in the buffer zone, the opening of Junad OC

mine has definitely affected its surroundings and the employment scenario.

The direct employment opportunities have already improved around the coal

mine areas & with the expansion of this project it will improve further. With the

proposed expansion of the mine the occupational structure of the area is going

to change further and many people are likely to be involved in the job of mining

and allied activities. Hence, income levels of these people are likely to improve

to significant level.

The monetary inflow in this area through salary & wages payable to the project

employees will increase because almost 50% of this amount is being spent

locally to meet the day to day domestic demand.

This regular expenditure may lead to adequate & impressive economic-

development of the area. This monetary inflow may also lead to improvement

of civic amenities because people will go for more and more consumer goods,

better educational facilities & communication.

Simultaneously various small scales & medium scale manufacturing engineering

units may also come up giving adequate alternate employment opportunities

for local people.

Employment opportunities both direct & indirect in this project are likely to cause

migration from outside. Amenities like medical educational, recreational etc.

are available to local people and their quality of life will definitely improve.

Impact on Health

At present there is a dispensary with qualified doctors & paramedical staffs in

the project. At area level there is a full-fledged hospital. The Periodical medical

examination is being carried out regularly as per statute. The circulars and orders

of DGMS including the rules and regulations under Mines Act are being adhered

to in respect of occupational health and safety.

No major occupational health hazard is anticipated due to the proposed

expansion of the project.

The medical facilities are being extended to nearby villages. The situation is

likely to improve further.

Impact on Flora & Fauna

o There is no endangered and endemic species in core and buffer zone.

o By developing plantation of native species efforts are being made to

improve the green cover in and around the immediate vicinity of the

mine area.

o WCL in association with local people will make all efforts to conserve the


o Improved blasting techniques will be used to minimise the noise & ground

vibrations.

Both core and buffer zones are found to be free from ecologically sensitive

and biologically rich areas / habitats. As such impact on flora & fauna is likely

to be insignificant.

CONCLUSION

From earlier paragraphs, it can be inferred that the adverse impact on physical

environmental attributes due to proposed mine is almost insignificant/ negligible.

6.10 Peripheral development:

As per the present practices in WCL coal mines, adequate steps are being

taken for the local villagers by providing various infrastructural and welfare

facilities and giving assistance in health care in Wani North Area of WCL, under

which the mine under consideration is operating.

The various development works like construction of Primary, School, Post

office, Shopping center, diversion of cart track for villagers, establishment of

bank, diversion of irrigation canal etc; have been completed, mainly for

catering to the needs/socio-economic upliftment of the neighbouring

population.

ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

9.0 GENERAL

Close monitoring of the environment and implementation of various protective

measures discussed in the report forms an important part of EMP. In the earlier

chapters the causes of various pollutions along with the preventive and

mitigating measures have been discussed. In this chapter description of the

administrative aspects of ensuring that mitigative measures are implemented

and their effectiveness monitored, after approval of the EIA is being discussed.

9.1 MONITORING ORGANISATION

To have a close watch on the environmental condition and implementation of

the various measures suggested, a multi-disciplinary approach is essential.

(a) WCL headquarter acts as an apex body which supervises the activities

relating to environment at project level through the General Manager.

(b) General Manager of the area coordinates the activities of various disciplines

in the area to render all necessary assistance at the implementing level i.e. the

Project. Area Nodal Officer (Environment) monitors all aspects of environment

on behalf of the General Manager. He also takes suitable steps for generation of

environment data along with its analysis and interpretations.

As far as plantation is concerned horticulturist with suitable backup staff shall be

provided in the area for undertaking the plantation jobs including raising of a

nursery. Plantation will have to be done on a large area. Therefore, it may be

desired that an outside agency may have to be employed for this purpose. The

horticulturist along with the supervisor shall only monitor and guide the agency

for selection of site, treatment of soil, selection of species etc.

(c) Sub Area Manager is responsible for mechanical reclamation of the area. He

is also responsible for biological reclamation with the assistance of GM's office.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION 10.1 INTRODUCTION:

The proposed Junad Extension OC Project is an extension of existing Junad OC

mine in Junad block located on the western limb of Wardha Valley Coalfield in

Yeotmal district of Maharashtra. The P.R. for Junad OC mine was prepared by

CMPDI in October, 1989 and was sanctioned by the WCL Board in May, 1990 for

a capital of Rs. 19.148 Crores for a production capacity of 0.32 Mty. The actual

mining operations at the project could be started in November, 1998 due to

delay in land acquisition. This is expansion of existing Junad Opencast with mine

able reserve of 6.13 Mt and with maximum coal production target of 1.50 MTPA.

The Form – 1 was submitted to MOEF &CC vide letter no. WCL/HQ/ENV/11-

C/213-A dated 28.06.2014. The project was discussed in the 21st EAC meeting

held on 19.09.2014. As per the minutes of the meeting of EAC, the project was

recommended with generic TOR. Subsequently Generic ToR was issued vide

Letter No. J- 11015/225/2014 – IA. II(M) dated 21.11.2014. As indicated in the

aforesaid TOR, the PH has been completed on 05.02.2013. Based on the minutes

of PH and generic TOR, this EMP has now been prepared for obtaining

Environmental Clearance from Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate

Change.

2.2 WASTE DISPOSAL & REHANDLING OF EXISTING OB DUMP

Two external OB dumps are proposed in dip side of the extended quarry beyond

the major boundary Fault F1-F1 at a depth ranging from 350-400 m at the floor of

coal seam. The main external OB dump No.1 lies exactly in the dip side of

extended quarry from Aheri village in north to approach road for the project in

south. The dump No.1 is proposed keeping safe distance from Pragati Nagar

township, existing water pipeline, Wardha river and approach road to the

project. External OB dump No.2 is located on other side of approach road.

In addition, about 10.33 Mm3 of OB already dumped by existing Junad OC in dip

side of the quarry over coal bearing area where Junad Extension OCP is

proposed also requires to be rehandled. The capacity of external OB dumps

proposed is about 60.20 Mm3. Remaining 0.75 Mm3 of OB will be used is

10.7 Anticipated Impacts & Pollution Control Measures

AIR POLLUTION IMPACT ASSESSMENT

The impact assessment has been carried out dealing with the following

points:

(a) Phase-wise inventory of air pollution emission sources

(b) Impact assessment

a. Phase-wise inventory of air pollution emission sources

The pollution sources are obvious and to assess the impact, the project life

is divided into following time frames:

Operation phase


The activities associated with these time frames and having impact on the

ambient air quality along with the pollutants are enumerated in the

following sections:

Operational phase

During this phase, activities necessary for mining of coal, its handling and

transport are taken up. Such activities having impact on ambient air

quality are detailed below:

(i) Drilling : Dust

(ii) Blasting of coal and

overburden

: Dust and noxious gases

(iii) Handling of coal : Dust and noxious gases

(iv) Overburden handling : Dust and noxious gases

(v) Dump formation (internal) : Dust and exhaust fumes from

dumpers and dust till the

development of green cover

(vi) Movement of vehicles : Dust and noxious fumes


During this stage of the project, the activities related to the closure of

mine are to be carried out. Preparation of mine closure plan shall be

carried out during the period four to five years before the closure of the

mine. Some of the activities for the closure are:

Modifications in physical and biological reclamation of backfilled area

Salvaging and shifting operation of HEMMs and other equipment

Clearing of coal and other materials, restoration of infrastructure

area & colony area to the extent possible and necessary if not useful

for other projects

Management of hydrology and hydrogeology.

Redeployment of workforce, etc.

Arrangement & implementation of post-operation monitoring mainly

keeping watch, vigil, etc.

The activities having impact on the ambient air quality are enumerated

below:

(i) Movement of HEMMs for physical

reclamation of backfilled area


fumes

(ii) Movement of vehicles for shifting and

salvaging operation of HEMMs and other

equipment


fumes

(iii) Movement of vehicles for clearing of coal

and other materials


gases

b. Impact assessment

The mining and its related activities create ambient air pollution. The

impact of mining on ambient air quality are highlighted in the following

paragraphs:

(a)The ambient air quality is influenced due to the presence of RPM, SPM,

SO2, NOx, etc., which are generated due to various activities like drilling,

blasting and handling related to the project. Further, the ambient air

quality is affected marginally to a varying degree due to the mining


same coalfield. The concentration of pollutants may vary depending

upon the various micro-meteorological parameters and the seasons of a

year.

(b) The baseline ambient air quality has been generated at six locations

surrounding the existing Junad OC to assess the present ambient air


Deep Extension OC project. The details of baseline data have been

given in previous chapter. All the monitored parameters are well within

the permissible limit. Thus it can be concluded that although the mine

under consideration as well as the neighbouring mines are operating

since long but ambient air quality in the surrounding area has not been

affected adversely.

Now, with the proposed expansion in production capacity in the

existing OC project, there is likelihood of addition of pollution to the

existing concentration level of different attributes of ambient air. Efforts

will be made by implementation of proper abatement measures so as

to maintain the sinking capacity of ambient air to absorb the

additional load, if any, thereby maintaining the quality of ambient air

to the pre – mining level to the extent possible.

(c) Further, as per TOR received from MOEF, AAQ Prediction modeling has

been done with FDM and it has been found that there will be

insignificant increase in the level of pollutants as such there will be

negligible impact on the Ambient air quality due to proposed

expansion of the mine.

Existing Ambient Air Quality Monitoring

The ambient air quality monitoring is being carried out on regular basis as per

the Env (Protection) Amendment Rule, 2000 so as to ascertain the likely load of

various air pollutants and thereby suitably modifying the various control

measures.

Hence , it is expected that pollution load to be generated due to increased

production at Junad OC will be well within the permissible limit as the existing

air pollution control measures will be further strengthened with close monitoring

for efficient & effective implementation of the pollution control measures to

make the operation eco-friendly and it is expected that ambient air quality will

have no harmful effect on human being, flora and fauna, soil quality, surface

structures and aesthetic value of the surrounding environment.

AIR POLLUTION CONTROL MEASURES

Since Junad OC is an operating mine, the environmental monitoring data

generation is being done at four locations on regular basis as per the Env

(Protection) Amendment Rule published Vide Gazette of dated 25.9.2000. In

addition to data generation, following abatement measures have also been

taken in order to suppress the dust and noxious gases generation to the

maximum possible extent.

Drilling Operations

In order to reduce dust generated by drilling operation wet drilling is done.

Blasting Operation

In order to minimize the generation of dust during blasting, the following

measures are adopted:

(a) Blast holes are properly placed/spaced/positioned.

(b Blast is properly designed in respect of hole-spacing. Hole placing and blast

design are looked into as a fresh case every time, by a competent

Blasting Officer who takes into consideration the actual geo-mining

conditions of the site.

(c) Blasting is being done between shifts or during the rest interval when the

minimum number of persons is present around the blast area. In order to

quickly disperse the dust generated in blasting operations, blasting is

avoided when there is wind. Blasting is avoided in the mornings and during

cloudy situations.

(e) Adaptation of Controlled Blasting Technique as permitted by DGMS.

Loading & Transport

Movement of vehicles and HEMM on haul roads, particularly when they are un -

metalled, is another major source of dust generation. To minimize dust

generation due to this operation, the following abatement measures will be

taken.

(a) All long-life haul roads and service roads are properly constructed and

Coal Handling Plant

Lot of dust is generated in coal handling plant during operations like coal

crushing, transfer and conveying. Following abatement measures are adopted

for Coal Handling Plant.

i) Enclosure of the crusher house where maximum dust is generated. Also

installation of dust suppression system in the crusher house (specially

above the hopper in such a way that air borne dust is suppressed without

adding much water to the coal).

ii) Minimising the height of coal-fall at transfer points (to reduce dust

formation) and, if necessary, installing dust suppression measures.

iii) Enclosure of the belt conveyor to reduce the generation of dust due to

blowing wind.

iv) Creation of a green belt on both sides of belt conveyors and around coal

stocks and the CHP building.

Noxious gasses are emitted through exhaust fumes during the operation of

diesel / petrol operated equipment. In order to reduce such emission, regular

maintenance of the diesel / petrol operated vehicles will also be carried out so

that the emissions from these vehicles are under control. However, wherever, the

condition will permit, petrol / diesel operated HEMM will be replaced by

electrically operated ones.

Water sprinkling on coal stock/face, blanketing of exposed surface will be

carried out to avoid spontaneous heating and minimize air pollution.

WATER QUALITY

Impact Assessment on Water

Identification of the sources of water pollution

Likely sources of water pollution from this project along with the type of

pollutants are as follows:

(i) Sanitary (domestic) wastewater : Suspended solids and BOD.

(ii) Industrial wastewater from

workshop

: Suspended solids, oil & grease;

(iii) Wastewater from mine : Suspended solids of coal, clay

and oil;

(iv) Surface run-off passing through

coal stockpiles

: Suspended solids;

(v) Storm water from leasehold

area and built-up area

: Suspended solids.

Impact assessment

Mining and its related activities may create water quality problems. The

impact of mining at the project on both surface and ground water

sources has been assessed and given below:

(a) Surface water sources

Deterioration of water quality and pollution of water bodies due to

discharge of mine effluent, if not treated. Change in relief pattern

due to mining may cause flooding, siltation, choking and pollution.

Mitigatory measures would involve provision of (i) garland drains on

periphery to prevent surface run-off from entering into the quarry ,

(ii) catch drain around the dumps for avoiding siltation and (iii)

sedimentation ponds for reducing the pollution of surface water

bodies.

Possible overflow of water from nearby rivers/nallahs must be

safeguarded by stone pitching and strengthening the embankment

along the side of the water course

In order to assess the existing quality of surface as well as ground

water quality surrounding the project site , water samples from six

locations have been collected & analysed .

The details are incorporated in the previous chapter. All the

parameters are well within the permissible limit.

The mine water discharge quality of existing opencast project is

being monitored regularly as per Env. (Protection) Amendment Rule

, 2000 . The result indicates that even in untreated condition mine

pumped out water does not contain any pollution load.

However, due care will be taken to treat the mine water discharge

by sedimentation for the proposed project. Effluents from workshop

is continue to be treated in ETP and moreover water will be mostly

recycled in Workshop & CHP. As such, possibility of adverse impact

on natural watercourses after mixing is very remote. Garland drain

around the OB dump & coal dump will be made to avoid siltation

of natural water course.

Based on the data collected at the existing coal mine, it can be concluded that

the impact due to proposed mining operation, the adverse impacts on water

both surface as well as ground water will be insignificant.

WATER POLLUTION CONTROL MEASURES



The wastewater from workshop and CHP, which normally remain laden with oil

and grease, suspended and dissolved solids etc. are treated in the Effluent

Treatment Plant (ETP). Clear water coming out from the treatment plant is taken

into the closed water circuit and recycled for its reuse. All parameter of ETP

waste discharge are monitored regularly as per Env. (Protection) Amendment

Rule, 2000 and found to be within permissible limits.

ii) Mine Water

Most of the suspended particles are settled in the mine sump as initial settlement

and the supernatant water is pumped out. This water is passed through

sedimentation pond on surface, before being discharged in to natural drain.


Adequate numbers of vegetation will be grown on the top surface and slopes

of the dumps in order to arrest the erosion of soil and it also reduces surface run-

off, which helps averting siltation of natural watercourses.

Catch drains of suitable size have been provided around periphery of the OB

dump as well as soil dumps to arrest site and sediment flows from the respective

dump sites.

In case of OB benches in the quarry, cross drainage have been provided which

carries silt and sediments into main sump made at the floor of the seam which

will accumulate all the silts and act as first stage settling pond. The water is then

pumped out through pumps on to the surface and discharged in to surface

settling tank/sedimentation pond. The clear water from the surface

sedimentation tank is used for watering the mine area, roads and green belt

development. The catch drains mentioned above are regularly desilted and

maintained properly. In addition, garland drains have also been provided

around the periphery of the excavated area, which carries surface run off and

the drains are regularly desilted before onset of monsoon. These drains allow

accumulation of silt materials and sufficient retention time for settling of silt

materials.

The domestic sewage disposal arrangement has been provided in the township.

Regular water quality/effluent quality monitoring is also carried out so as to

ascertain the likely load of pollutants and thereby suitably modifying the control

measures.

The existing water pollution control measures can be summarized as below :-

MINE WATER :- TWO STAGE SEDIMENTATION

INITIAL SEDIMENTATION - AT MINE SUMP

(SIZE- 800mX60mX4m)

FINAL SEDIMENTATION - SEDIMENTATION POND AT

SURFACE (SIZE- 24mX8mX1.5m)

WORKSHOP ETP .

DOMESTIC EFFLUENT:

THERE IS ONE INTEGRATED DOMESTIC EFFLUENT

TREATMENT PLANT AT COMBINED TOWNSHIP(0.6MLD) AT BHALAR.

EXISTING WATER POLLUTION CONTROL MEASURES

In addition to the above, provision have also been made for augmentation/

strengthening of existing sedimentation pond as well as Workshop Effluent

Treatment Plant.

NOISE QUALITY

In order to assess the existing ambient noise level in the surrounding of proposed

project site corresponding to pre-mining scenario , baseline noise level data has

been generated & details are enclosed as Annexure – III. All the values are well


Proposed mine would be associated with following activities that may generate

noise during operation :

(a) Drilling

(b) Blasting

(c) Shovel operation

(d) Dozing

(e) Movement of dumper

(f) Operation of CHP / Workshop

The following are some of the important activities responsible for high noise level

generation, with their expected noise levels :

a. All mining activities i.e. drilling, blasting, shoveling, dozing and

dumping are associated with high noise level [about 100 dB(A)].

b. Operation of most HEMMs produce high noise level. The noise level

are in range of 80 – 100 dB(A). Noise level have been found to be

related to engine capacity.

c. Crusher – General noise level due to crusher ranges from 90 dB(A) –

105 dB(A). Some of noisy equipment produce noise whose level is

around 120 dB(A).

The average sound pressure level of some of the HEMM associated with mining

operation which are responsible for high noise level generation are as follows :

EQUIPMENT NOISE LEVEL

[dB(A)]

Dozer 98

Dumper 92

Power shovel 93

Drilling machine 96

ACCEPTABLE INDUSTRIAL NOISE LEVEL

As per Env. (Protection) Amendment Rules, 2000 the ambient air quality

standards in respect of noise in industrial , commercial , residential and silence

zones area as follows :

Sl.

No.

1. Industrial 75 70

2. Commercial 65 55

3. Residential 55 45

4. Silence zone 50 40

Assessment of the degree of noise to which a workplace noise is harmful, is done

by comparing the values measured at workplace to the permissible limit

adopted by statutory bodies like DGMS.

The impact of mining on ambient noise quality are highlighted in the following

paragraphs:

(a) The ambient noise quality is influenced by various activities like drilling,

blasting and material handling related to the project. Further, the ambient

noise quality is affected marginally to a varying degree due to the mining


same coalfield.

(b) The baseline ambient noise quality has been generated at six locations

surrounding the existing Junad OC to assess the present ambient noise


Deep Extension OC project. The details of baseline data have been given

in previous chapter. All the monitored parameters are well within the

permissible limit.

(c) Thus it can be concluded that although the mine under consideration as

well as the neighbouring mines are operating since long but ambient

noise quality in the surrounding area has not been affected adversely.

Now, with the proposed expansion in production capacity in the existing OC

project, there is likelihood of addition of noise load to the existing concentration

level of ambient noise. Efforts will be made by implementation of proper

abatement measures so as to maintain the sinking capacity of ambient noise to

absorb the additional load, if any, thereby maintaining the quality of ambient

noise to the pre – mining level to the extent possible.

NOISE POLLUTION CONTROL MEASURES

Monitoring of the noise control will be carried out on regular basis as per the Env

(Protection) Amendment Rule 2000. While planning for an effective noise

attenuation measures, the concept of source, path and receiver has been

considered.

(A) Noise Control at Source

There are two areas where the noise generation can be checked at source.

(i) Proper Design

Since the generation of noise can be reduced by reducing the vibration

amplitude, the area of vibrating part and frequency of vibration will be taken

care that all loose contact between metal parts avoided.

Shock absorbing pads will be fixed in the foundation of vibrating equipment /

machines. In case of aerodynamic noise producing sources, mufflers will be

provided with the machines.

(ii) Proper Maintenance

All machines and equipment will be properly maintained. Sound muffler system

and bearing lubricating system etc. of equipment will be kept in proper

condition.

(B) Noise Control at Receiver End

Even after adopting above measures, if desired noise level is not achieved at

receiver end, in that case, following measures are suggested:

(a) The workers exposed to high noise level are provided with earplugs.

(b) Provision of enclosed booths at the worksite to protect worker from noisy

environment.

MINEABLE RESERVES

GROSS RESERVES IN PROPOSED JUNAD OC MINE

The upthrown block of fault F6 – F6 is the main Junad block which consists of

Sectors Q2, Q3, Q5 (opencast) and Sectors U3 & U4 (underground).(Please refer

Geological Plan of Junad OCP of WCL) This division of sectors in Junad block is

based as per Geological Report of Junad block, June, 1990. As per this G.R.,

reserves upto 1:7 coal:OB ratio line are defined as opencast sectors, and

reserves beyond 1:7 coal:OB ratio line are considered as underground reserves.

However, due to application of hiring HEMMs, greater depths with higher

stripping ratio can be worked by opencast method of mining. Therefore, the

revised geological break-up is given below which considers opencast reserves

upto 250m depth. The proposed Junad extension OC mine has been planned

below the RCE limit of existing Junad OC mine upto a depth of 170m at the floor

of composite coal seam. Therefore, in this report the sectors earlier identified for

underground mining in the geological notes is proposed to be worked by

opencast method of mining upto a depth of 170m.

Sector Q2 is a very narrow patch, bounded between downthrow fault F4-F4 & F5-

F5. The net geological reserves of Sector Q2 is only 0.557 Mt and considering its

width and strike, it is not viable for opencast coal mining.

Sector Q5 lies below the Wardha river in south-east direction. The net Indicated

geological reserves of Sector Q5 is 6.99 Mt but the opencast mining can be

done only after the diversion of Wardha river.

Sector U4 is a small patch below Wardha river, bounded beyond 1:7 coal:OB

ratio line and boundary fault F1-F1. The net indicated geological reserves of

Sector U4 is 1.489 Mt.

Thereby Sectors, Q2, Q5 and U4 of main Junad block are not considered in this

PR for opencast coal mining.

The sectors considered in this PR are Sector Q3 & U3. The boundary of Sector Q3

& U3 are defined as under :-

Sector Q3 :




South - 1:7 Coal : Overburden ratio line and Wardha river barrier.

Sector U3 :

East - Sector Q3

West - Fault F1-F1



In the proposed quarriable area, the coal seam has split in two sections namely

top section and bottom section with an intervening parting of average 0.8 m

thickness varying from 0.09 m to 2.21 m. Due to steep gradient, it is not feasible

to work this parting separately. In the existing Junad OC mine, the coal is being

extracted along with parting. It is therefore proposed in this report to extract the

top and bottom section of coal seam along with intervening parting as a

composite coal seam. The gross reserve in the proposed extended quarry has

been estimated considering coal thickness from roof to floor.

COAL BLOCKED UNDER VARIOUS HEADS

As stated above, only Sectors Q3 & U3 are considered for quarry planning in

proposed Junad Extension OC. The Net Geological reserves of these sectors up

to 250 m depth is 44.018 Mt.and upto major boundary Fault F1-F1 is 56.943 Mt.

The break-up of reserves in Sectors Q3 & U3 up to 250 m depth and beyond 250

m depth to boundary fault F1-F1 is given in following table.

As per sanctiond RCE of Junad OC Mine in 1999, net geological reserves are

3.63Mt (3.26 Mt net mineable reserves). For Junad Extension OC, starting from

1.4.2008, 6.81 Mt net geological reserves (6.13 Mt net mineable reserves) are

proposed to be exploited. Therefore in total, 3.63 Mt + 6.81 Mt = 10.44 Mt

reserves from Sectors Q3 and U3 falls in quarriable area. Balance reserves in

Sectors Q3 and U3 upto major boundary fault F1-F1, is 46.503 Mt. and it falls in

the dip side and southern side of the proposed quarry.

MINING LOSS

To arrive at the mineable reserves from the gross reserves available in the

proposed extension quarry, following mining losses have been considered :-

i) 10% mining loss due to variation in seam thickness.

ii) Loss of 20 cm of coal at each contact point of coal seam thus

aggregating 40 cm (two contact points at roof and floor) which

corresponds to about 2.5% loss.

iii) 0.5% of coal loss for blasting for coal seam

iv) 0.5% loss due to spillage in coal transportation.

Considering the above mining losses, the net mineable reserves in Junad

Extension OC mine are as under:

TARGET OUTPUT AND MINE LIFE

The proposed Junad Extension OC mine has been planned for a target

capacity of 0.60 Mt/annum. The parameters of opencast mine field and

technical conditions of its development make this target feasible with normal

indices namely strike length, width and depth of the excavated block, number

of coal seams, method of mining, location of equipment, deployment, etc. The

target production from extension quarry along with strike length and rate of

From above it is clear that the maximum rate of deepening is about 8 – 9

In proposed Junad Extension OC mine, target production of 0.60 Mt will be

achieved in Year-I i.e, in the year 2008-09. With a mineable reserve of 6.13 Mt

and target production of 0.60 Mty, the revenue life of the mine comes out to be

11 years. However for EC , the peak capacity assumed as 1.50 MTPA.

GEO-MINING CHARACTERISTICS

Seam Gradient




Geological Disturbances




SELECTION OF MINING METHOD

The steep gradient of the seam (gradient 1 in 2.5 to 1 in 3.5) rules out the

application of dragline method of working and surface miner working in

proposed Junad Extension OC mine. Shovel-Dumper system has been

considered to be the most suitable method of opencast mining under the

prevailing geo-mining conditions. With Shovel-Dumper system, two stripping

methods are possible:

1. Inclined slicing method &

2. Horizontal slicing method

In steep gradient, positioning of HEMM is difficult in inclined slicing method as

the benches in coal are made parallel to the seam in this method. Hence this

method is ruled out in proposed Junad Extension OC mine. In horizontal slicing,

benches in coal are made horizontal and therefore there is no problem in

positioning of HEMM. In horizontal slicing method, the sump can be made either

on the bottom most horizontal bench in coal or in the roof of coal seam. With

the sump at the roof of coal seam, the coal and overburden benches with

proper grading can be worked in almost water-free condition throughout the

year.

However, with this arrangement, initial excavation is high because of the

running slope of quarry is further reduced to this type of sump arrangement. It is

therefore proposed in this report to make the sump at the horizontal bench in

coal in one side of the quarry and to make the coal benches slightly grading

towards the sump.

Thus, the shovel dumper system of mining with horizontal slicing method is


most horizontal bench in coal seam.

3. The parting range 0.09 m (MWJ-24) 2.21 m (MWJ-26)

ause of very steep gradient of coal seam (1 in 2.5 to 1 in 3.5), it is difficult to

remove the parting between top and bottom section even in horizontal slicing

and with shovel dumper system with blasting method. In the existing Junad OC

mine, the coal is being extracted along with parting. In the Junad Extension OC

mine also, it is proposed to extract the entire composite coal seam along with

parting varying in thickness from 0.09m (MWJ-24) to 2.21m (MWJ-26). The quality

of coal has been assessed taking into account the mixing of parting with the

coal.

System Parameters – Bench Height, Elements of Mining System

Volume Regime

The proposed Junad Extension OC mine is an extension of existing Junad OC

Mine beyond RCE floor unit.

The access trench of existing Junad OC mine, will serve the entry to Junad

Extension OC mine also. Thus the Quarry of proposed Junad Extension OC will

be approached by the existing access trench of Junad OC mine.

To calculate the coal, OB and stripping ratio at different depths in Extension

quarry, cuts have been made at 100m FRL (Cut-I), 70m FRL (Cut-II), 40m FRL

(Cut-III), and upto 170 m depth line (Balance cut).

The cut-wise OB and coal in proposed Junad Extension OC is given below in

Table below.

Thus the total mineable reserves in the Junad Extension OC mine is 6.13 Mt with

an average stripping ratio of 8.26 m3/t.

Width and Height of Benches

The maximum height of benches in overburden considered in this report is 10m

which will be drilled and blasted in one go. In unconsolidated strata/alluvium

soil, the bench height is kept as 5m. In coal also, the height of the bench is

considered as 5m. The bench width considered in this report is 20m and 30m for

non-working and working benches respectively for planning purpose.

In final batter of the quarry, the height of the benches in consolidated strata is

10m and a berm of 5m width will be maintained between two benches.

However, in unconsolidated strata/alluvium soil, the bench height considered in

final batter is 5m and the bench width (berm) is 10m. Three to four transport

horizons will be maintained in the batter at an interval of 30m.

Slope of Benches and Quarry

i) During Mining Operation

The slope of individual benches depends on the type of strata. In this report, the

slope of individual bench is proposed as 45o in soil, alluvium and clay whereas it

is 70o in hard strata as well as in coal.

The overall slope of the quarry benches during mining operation varies from 10o

to 20o (from horizontal plane) due to multiple seams.

Rise side batter remains same in the quarry during mining operation or at the

end of the quarry. The overall angle of the rise side batter of existing Junad OC

mine varies from 20o to 35o.

ii) At the end of the quarry

The slope of individual benches in the batter at the end of quarry remains same

as that during mining operations i.e, 45o in soil , alluvium and clay and 70o in

hard strata and coal.

The slope of the batter at the end of the quarry in dip side is flatter in upper

horizon because of unconsolidated strata like soil, clay, etc. In deeper horizon,

the angle of batter measured from horizontal plane is steeper compared to

upper horizon. It is 15o to 30o in upper horizon (in unconsolidated strata) and 35o

to 45o in hard strata. The slope of rise side batter is same as discussed above

under point (i).

Drilling and Blasting

The degree of fragmentation in opencast mine has to be optimized so that total

cost of drilling, blasting, excavation, transport and crushing as total system is

minimized. In order to reduce the excessive vibrations at nearby surface

structure, river, road, village, etc. and also to achieve satisfactory blasting

results, an optimized control blasting system depending upon rock formations

using combination of delays and relays will have to be evolved. It is further

recommended that at the time of actual excavation, proper study on ground

vibration should be made with scientific methods.

In proposed Junad Extension OC mine, the powder factor for OB and coal has

been worked out to be 3.0m3/kg and 7.0/t respectively in partial hiring

option.However, it is proposed in this report to undertake scientific study to

assess the powder factor for OB and coal. Adequate capital provision has been

made in this report for above study.

Mine Transport

Shovel Dumper system has been proposed in this report and the coal as well as

OB will be transported by dumpers/trucks .

Haul roads with proper gradient have been proposed for Quarry and the coal

will be transported by dumpers/trucks through these haul roads and existing

access trench of Junad OC mine from quarry to coal stock yard near the

access trench. The gradient of haul roads is proposed as 1:16.

For the transportation of OB, transport horizons (benches) have been proposed

in the dip side & side benches/batter. The OB from benches will be transported

by dumpers/trucks through these transport horizons and ramps to suitable

intervals will be made to join other benches with the transport benches. The OB

below the bottom-most transport horizon can also be transported through the

haul roads where the dump is in rise side.

SEQUENCE OF MINING

The Quarry proposed in Junad Extension OC mine, is below the existing

decoaled Junad OC mine. The total mineable coal and OB in extended Quarry

are 6.13 Mt and 50.62 Mm3 respectively and the stripping ratio works out to be

8.26 m3/t.

needs periodic reviewing and revision during its life cycle to cope with the geo-

technical constraints, safety and economic risks, social & environmental

challenges. Various other objectives are as follows.

a) To allow a productive and sustainable after-use of the site which is

acceptable to the mine owner and the regulatory authority.

b) To protect public health and safety.

c) To alleviate or eliminate environmental damage and thereby

encourage environmental sustainability.

d) To minimise adverse socio-economic impacts.

CLOSURE ACTION PLAN

Closure planning is a whole-of-life exercise that begins at the start of a mine and

continues till post closure. The dynamic nature of closure planning requires

regular and critical review to reflect changing circumstances as a result of any

operational change, new regulation, new technology and remain flexible

enough to cope with unexpected events. Following steps have to be

undertaken in relation to Mine Closure Planning :

(a) Prior to the surface demolition/restoration a surface audit should be

undertaken on all surface structures, spoil heaps, lagoons, etc. to assess

whether there are any hazardous materials that could cause problems viz;

explosives, chemicals, etc. A list of surface assets should be prepared and

made available to potential purchasers, prospective purchasers could be

invited and asked to submit sealed bids.

(b) This could ensure that the sale of assets give better financial gain.

(c) In order to identify potential impact, necessary hydro-geological studies

into post-mining groundwater recharge has to be done. The void of the

mine can be proposed as a water resource to be utilised for aquaculture.

(d) Work force on roll of WCL may be redeployed for gainful utilisation of

employees of WCL.

(e) As a detailed component of the Closure Plan, a Decommissioning Plan is

to be developed towards the final stages preferably 5 years prior to

tentative closure of mine. Once established it may be updated annually.

PROTECTIVE MEASURES TO BE TAKEN

Protective measures must include the following :

a) The protection of mine boundary, building and other structure on the

project site against access by unauthorised persons.

(b) The maintenance of all mechanical, hydraulic and waste management

system

(c) The continuation of all monitoring programs.

(d) The control of all contaminated effluents

(e) The securing of all petroleum products, chemicals and waste.

(f) The rendering of all tailings, dams and piles of earth, rock and waste

resulting from work done on the project site in a stable and safe condition.

CLOSURE COSTS

The proposed Junad Extn. Deep OC Project has been planned upto 170 m

depth and it is most likely that this will be extended further in dip side in future. A

financial provision of Rs.6.00 lakhs/ ha as per the guidelines issued by MoC will

be provided throughout the mine life in order to undertake mine closure

activities (for plantation in slope of dumps & quarry, for protection of mine

boundary and continuation of monitoring programme and control of

contaminated effluents). Closure cost may be reviewed under the changing

circumstances and new legislative requirements.
