30. Impact on ground water regime / stream / lake / springs due to mine dewatering

The ground water table level isat 418m AM SL in the core zone. Ultimate depthof working of the mine will be 490 m above M SL. As such the mine workingswill notintersect ground water table and assuch, problemsof water seepage into mineworkingswill not occur

(b) Whether saline w ater ingress w ill take place? Yes No(applicable to coastal areas)

(c) Impact on stream / lake / springs – A detailed Hydrological investigationincluding pump test was conducted. Study detailsare given in para 3.6.5 Chapter – III& Para 4.3.6, Chapter – IV.

[* Prov ide a comprehensiv e hydro-geological assessment report i f the average mine

dewatering ismore than 100 m3/day and or going below water table in non-monsoon period.

The report should be based on preferably latest one year pre-monsoon and post-monsoon

baseline data covering information on ground water situation, aquifer characteristics, water

level conditions(April – May and November), estimate of ground water resources, predicted

impact of the project on ground water regime and detailed remedial / conservation measures

such as artificial recharge of ground water etc. The report should be based on actual field

inventory out of existing wells, at least 30 observation wells in the buffer zone with

supplementary information from secondary sources (mention name). For estimation** of

ground water resource (refer question no. 28 above) be designated study area of the buffer

zone may be sub-divided into command and non-command areas, watershed-wise (in case of
