� Addressing the Bridge and population issue-

As the proposed quarry is a Sand Auction Quarry and mining will be done by

manual method, so there will be no adverse impact on the surroundings of the

quarry area. Further for the safety purpose a code of traffic will be maintained

strictly and supervisors will be appointed to control the traffic while passing

from the populated area. Transportation from the densely populated area will

be avoided.

4. DETAILS OF MACHINE TO BE USED IN MINING OPERATION

The mining method will be done by opencast manual method and tractor

trolley/dumper, fawda and tasla will be used.

5. DETAILS OF MEASUREMENT OF QUARRY PIT EARLIER

EXCAVATION IN THE AREA TO BE SANCTIONED AND DETAILS

OF MINERAL CONCESSIONS SITUATED WITHIN 100 METER

PERIPHERY OF THIS AREA

In sand quarry no pit is visible after the rainy season hence measurement of

dimension is not possible. Up to the 100 meters the area forms a plain

topography with minor undulations of waste land form.

6. SCHEME OF TREE PLANTATION

Plantation is proposed at the river banks in Zig. Zag pattern to prevent the river

bank erosion and it is also recommended to lessee for plantation both side of

the approach road and village area with tree guard as required. The Lessee will

plant 100 local species per year. The plantation will be done for the first 3 years

of lease period. For the last 2 years of lease period maintenance will be done.

* Apart from above, other species will also considered as recommended

by the forest department will be planted and local authorities.

� Post Plantation Care:

Following precaution to be undertaken for the survival of the plants:

� The saplings will be undertaken for the survival of the plants.

� Healthy tree species will be recommends for plantation.

� Every sapling will be covered by a tree guard to avoid damage through cattle

grazing.

� Necessary arrangement will be provided for watering tree species planted

in different parts.

7. DETAILS AND APPROXIMATE DISTANCE OF NATIONAL PARK,

SANCTUARY, BIODIVERSITY AREA, INTERSTATE BOUNDARY

SITUATED WITHIN PERIPHERY OF 10 KM. FROM THE AREA TO

BE SANCTIONED

Proposed project does not located in whole or in part within 10 km. from the

boundary of:

� Protected areas notified under the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972. : No

� National Park : No

� Critically polluted areas as notified by the Central Pollution Control Board

from time to time : No

� Notified Eco-sensitive areas : No

� Inter-state boundaries and international boundaries: No.

8. PROPOSED ANNUAL PRODUCTION OF MINERAL

The yearly proposed production of the quarry is 5,000 m3.

9. EFFECT ON GROUND WATER LEVEL DUE TO MINING

OPERATION AND ITS PREVENTIVE MEASURES

The annual deposition of the sand during flooding is natural phenomenon and

sand is excavated for the fresh deposition only. The sand mining activity is

carried out during the dry season when there is no water in the river bed.


8

Hence, water quality impacts are not anticipated. The mining at 3 m depth will

not intercept the groundwater table hence no impact on groundwater table is

anticipated.

� Ground Water:

The ground water is available below 5 to 10 meters of the surface level and

available in nearby well, bore well etc. As the proposed working will be above

ground water table, so there will be no effect on the ground water. At the same

time as per rule the pit depth will not go beyond 3 mts. depth or the

groundwater limit cross then mining will be stopped.

� Water quality:

The ground water available in the nearby well, bore-well etc. is of potable in

nature and no adverse effect has been noticed in the past due to human

consumption and in future also there will not be any change in quality due to

future mining activity.

10. DETAILS OF SCHEME OF CONTINUOUS RECLAMATION AND

REHABILITATION OF THE LAND DEGRADATION DUE TO

MINING OPERATION

Environmental Management Plan is being made by considering implementation

and monitoring the protection measure during and after the mining operation.

� Proposal for Reclamation of land affected by mining activities-during

and at the end of mining:

Reclamation of mined out area is the most important activity of EMP. Since

every year after the raining season the pit will be filled once again with sand, so

reclamation of land is not needed.

� Dust Suppression:

The points of dust generation are;

1. Loading of sand

2. Haulage of sand.


9

Dust suppression of these points will be ensured by

a. Sprinkling with water.

b. Sand will be covered by tarpaulins to prevent spread of dust from it

during transportation.

c. Regular maintenance of vehicles and machineries will be carried out in

order to control emissions.

d. Dust generated due to traffic on haul roads would be reduced by water

spraying at regular intervals.

e. Green belt development would be taken up all along the haul roads and

overburden dumps.

� Measures to minimize vibrations due to blasting and check noise

pollution:

Sand mining does not require any kind of blasting. Hence no noise pollution will

be generated from this work.

� Stabilization and vegetation of dump:

No waste material will be generated.

� Treatment and disposal of water from mine and beneficiation plan:

No waste water will be generated.

� Measures for minimizing adverse effects on the water regime:

The surface mining at 3 m depth is not going to intercept the groundwater table

hence no impact on groundwater table is anticipated.

� Afforestation of tailing ponds:

No Pond will be generated because in the next rainy season the pit will again

filled with sand.

� Afforestation Program:

The afforestation is an effective measure to restore the environment and

ecological balance in the area affected by mining. Afforestation program will be

carried out along the mining boundaries.


10

� Preparation of dumping ground for stacking toxic mineral

substance:

No toxic mineral will be produced.

� Environment monitoring Cell:

The proposed mining operation is very small in nature and it is not possible to

set up an environment cell.

� Socio-economic Benefits arising out of Mining:

With the increase in mining activity over the last ten years in the mining belt,

there has been a considerable change in the socio-economic status of the people

around the mining zone. The following facts come after the survey of the area:

a. Direct and indirect employment has been provided.

b. More people have started opting for mining as a profession and migration

to towns in search of employment has been reduced.

c. Public transport system has improved tremendously.

d. Living standard has improved and most of the people using the modern

life gadgets like TV, refrigerator, telephones, cars etc.

e. In addition to the benefits to the local habitat mining has also contributed

to the growth of govt. economic by way of royalty, sales tax, road tax,

income tax, committee tax etc.

11. DETAILS OF PREVENTIVE AND CONTROL SCHEME OF AIR

AND WATER POLLUTION

Negligible air pollution will be created and no water pollution will be happened

as this mine will be above the ground water table and also not in the running

water.

� Water Environment:

There is no source of water within the lease area nor is any water likely to be

encountered while carrying out mining operations. The only source of water is

rainwater, which will flow downhill through natural water channels. Thus

mining activities will not have any adverse effect on surface or subsurface

water sources.


11

� Air Environment:

1. Noise: The proposed method of mining is almost manual in nature. The

noise level may not exceed the level of 75 dB.

2. Air: The proposed mining operation is almost manual in nature, so there

will not be any deployment of large machinery or blasting which will create

dust or air pollution. The points of dust generation are;

a. Loading of sand

b. Haulage of sand.

Dust suppression of these points will be ensured by;

a. Sprinkling with water.

b. Sand will be covered by tarpaulins to prevent spread of dust from it

during transportation.

c. Regular maintenance of vehicles and machineries will be carried out

in order to control emissions.

d. Dust generated due to traffic on haul roads would be reduced by

water spraying at regular intervals;

e. Green belt development would be taken up all along the haul roads

and overburden dumps.

3. Climatic Condition: The climatic condition of the area is sub - tropical with

900 to 950 mm average rain fall, so it will not help any pollution making

activities. The area involved in the proposed mining operation is too small

compared to the regional extent; therefore, there will be hardly any impact

on climate.

12. PROVISIONS FOR SEPARATE STACKING OF SURFACE SOIL

EXCAVATED FROM MINING OPERATION AND IT’S UTILITY

It is a sand quarry. No separate stacking of soil and mineral rejects are required.

13. DETAILS OF SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC UP GRADATION OF

MINING EFFECTED AREA DUE TO PROPOSED PROJECT

Socio-economic Environment:

1. Socio-demographic profile: The local inhabitant is predominantly

dependent on agriculture for their livelihood. The mining operation will

provide employment for the local people. It will improve the living


12

condition of the poor people. The mining will give positive impact on

socio economic life of the people.

2. Occupational Health and Safety: The health and safety of the workers

will be the main priority and responsibility of the proponent. Safety

measures will be provided to the workers.

3. Human Settlement: Due to this proposed mining activities, possibility of

migration of labor will be reduced from the surrounding areas. For this

reason there will be increase in human settlement of the area. Due to

increased revenue earning in the area there will be development of

infrastructure facilities such as transport, road, housing, schooling as well

as hospital etc.

4. Recreation Facilities: Due to improved earning there will be

improvement in entertainment facilities and marketing facilities.

5. Impact of Mining and Beneficiation on environment: Mining

operation is small in nature and open cast method does not effect on the

environment on remarkable scale.
