Details of alternate sites considered and the basis of selecting the

proposed site, particularly the environmental consideration done into

should be highlighted.

The site is suitable because of its location and availability of resources. The topography is flat along with scanty overburden to remove. The site is also away From major habitation centers.

3.2 Size and Magnitude of operation

The maximum rated capacity of the project will be 36000 TPA productions and the area is spread over 1.00.00 Ha. The Black trap is not formation manually.

3.3 Project Description with process details

At present the manual opencast mining will be carried out. There is no

overburden in the area. Mining in general will be carried out by manual open

cast method by forming benches up to 2.0 to 3.0 m height. The sides of the

benches have slopes at a safe angle not more than 45 degree from horizontal.

Page 17: FORM –I, PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLANenvironmentclearance.nic.in/writereaddata/FormB/EC/Additional... · form –i, pre feasibility report environment management

Environment Clearance Report of M/s. Shree Gobarbhai Karshanbhai Kevadiya Page 17

Excavated Run Of Mine (ROM) will be subjected to manual sizing into fraction

of +25 mm to – 100 mm. The yield of sized black trap will be around 85%,

undersize Black trap will be around 10% and remaining 5% as mining losses.

Mining losses are on account of dust generation during drilling / blasting, wash

off from the area etc. This sized black trap will be loaded into trucks manually

and dispatched to the stone crushing plant. Remaining 10% of undersize

material will be stacked on the worked out pit floor. Drilling and blasting will

be also carried out by using air compressor and drill machine / jack hammer

drill. Manufacturing process detail is attached as per Annexure – 8 of Form – I

application. Quarry limits of all workings are planned with a 7.5 mtrs statutory barriers

against the lease boundary or roads existing in the lease hold. All haulage

roads, the alignment of which keeps on changing depending upon the working

in the pit, joins the existing surface roads of the lease hold. Four Wheeled

Trolley attached to tractor will be generally used for movement of mineral. The

mineral transported out of the lease hold will be with the help of tippers and

trucks. All pit working will be securely fenced as per the standards prescribed by

DGMS. Approach roads to pit faces shall be maintained as required. Mining will be carried out for black trap only. In the available thickness of 5 m

of deposit, two benches are proposed to be developed. Width of bench is

proposed to at 3 - 4 m.

Environment Clearance Report of M/s. Shree Gobarbhai Karshanbhai Kevadiya Page 18

3.4 BLASTING

The black trap being medium hard category requires some drilling and blasting

for excavation. To maintain a bench height of 3 meters, drilling by 65 /100 mm

drill machine, is recommended. However in future effort will be made to

improve upon it. Blasting frequency is recommended as twice in every six days

(i.e. twice a week). Benches shall be kept sloped at an angle of 15° from the

vertical (i.e. 75° from the horizontal). Same angle of slope shall be maintained

for drill /blast holes also. With 3 m high benches, sloped at an angle of 15° to

vertical, the bench slope height shall be 3.1 m and with sub-grade drilling of 0.2

m. The depth of shot holes to be drilled shall be 3.3 m.

3.5 BLASTING PATTERN

For every hole, one delay detonator would be used. Blasting would be done by

using short delay action detonators to reduce ground vibration. Holes would be

connected in a row “in series” and the rows “in par allel”, i.e. “Series–Parallel”

connection would be made at the time of blasting. Double row blasting would

be preferred to single row so as to cut down on the number of blasts required

for maintaining production. Various types of explosives such as, emulsion etc. will be used for blasting. it

will be used as much as possible except in rainy season. Delay detonators or

Nonel detonating fuse will be used since multi row system of firing will be

carried out so as to reduce the ground vibration, noise, fly rock etc. due to

blasting. Sequential blasting techniques using sequential blasting machine shall

be used to reduce explosive charge per delay to a minimum to reduce ground

vibration. The details about storage and transport of explosive are given

below:-

Environment Clearance Report of M/s. Shree Gobarbhai Karshanbhai Kevadiya Page 19

3.5. STORAGE OF EXPLOSIVES

The total storage of explosive material is as per the license of Petroleum &

Explosive Safety Organization (PESO). The storage of explosive material is as

per the guidelines of PESO.

3.6. PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES Adequate precautionary measures will be taken as given below:

(a) Adequate siren system will be in operation. (b) Legible warning sign in the language understood by the local people.

(c) Enough security guards, especially posted on roads etc.

(d) Before blasting the upper surface of the bench shall be cleaned off any

stones lying above.

ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN BLACK TRAP

1.0. INTRODUCTION:

The proposed M/s. Black Trap Mine of Gobarbhai Karshanbhai Kevadiya area at near Vill.Navi Nesdi, Tal.Rajula, Dis.Amreli. (Gujarat) has been granted to Gobarbhai Karshanbhai Kevadiya, resident of At.Gadhakada,Tal.Savarkundala At-Post-Bhavnagar Applied Area-1.00.00 Ha. Proposed Production- 36000 TPA. The Black Trap mine near Navi Nesdi is a hub for Black Trap extraction. The Black Trap industry is a thriving industry because of profile use of black trap in Road & building construction industry. The project is aimed at producing Black Trap slabs from the lease mine. The mining methodology consists of carving up blocks of dimensions unspecified with help of a hydraulic driller, in this method there is a reject of 15% of the production and about 85% of the yield is usable. Topography of the Area

The topography of the lease area is almost flat. The mine has a thin veneer of

soil having a thickness of about 1 to 1.5 meters.

Climate date From Secondary Sources

M/s Black Trap Mine of Gobarbhai Karshanbhai Kevadiya area is situated in

Amreli district . South Amreli district fall in semi arid climate, summer is dry

and hot mid-March to mid- June and the monsoon season from mid-june to

oct., when the Amreli Dis. receives 500 mm of rain on average. The months from

November to February are mild, the average temperature being around 20 °C, with

low humidity. During summer time, the temperature ranges between 26 °C and 42

°C. In the months of winter, Amreli District temperature varies between 10 °C and

20 °C but on a whole winters are pleasant

Environment Clearance Report of M/s. Shree Gobarbhai Karshanbhai Kevadiya Page 35

Flora & Fauna No forests land the area. It is entirely a government Land. No endangered Species found in the core zone, so no adverse impact on the flora & Fauna. Since, there are no endangered spices of flora & fauna observed in core zone. The environmental Management plan has been developed with a view to bring down the levels of impacts as discussed in the last chapter within limits. In each of the areas of impact, measures have to be taken to reduce potentially significant adverse impacts are to be enhanced/ augmented so that the overall adverse impacts are reduced to as low level as possible. The mining in the area has been proposed with time bound management plan so that impacts on different environmental parameters are minimized at every stage of mining. Measures to be taken for each of the impact areas are detailed in the following para:

Land Environment Air Environment Water Environment Noise Environment Reclamation & Rehabilitation of lands Discharge of Effluents Afforestation & Green belt development programme Corporate Social Responsibilities Risk assessment & Disaster Management Plan

Environment Clearance Report of M/s. Shree Gobarbhai Karshanbhai Kevadiya Page 36

ENVIRONMENT IMPACT & MEASURES

AIR ENVIRONMENT 2.1.1 Anticipated impacts

The opencast mining operations are generally prone to generation of high

levels of PM and to a limited extent SO2, NOx due to fossil fuel based

vehicles and machines etc. Air pollution due to SO2 , NOx and PM may result

in irritation and inflammation of eyes and congestion of throat and

infection in lungs.

2.1.2 Mitigation Measures: In addition to the above the following measures will be adopted:-

1. Water spraying on the roads for suppression of dust.

2. Development of green belt.

3. Water sprinklers will be sprayed at all loading / transfer points.

4. Modern Hydraulic Driller is be adopted.

5. PPE will be provided to the workers.

6. To control the emissions regular preventative maintenance of

equipment will be carried out.

2. WATER ENVIRONMENT 3.1. Anticipated impacts No impact on the surface water resources is envisaged. The rain water accumulates in the area, which will be used for dust suppression and plantation purpose. The ground water table in this region range from 28-30 m from the surface level. Due to mining, ground water will not intersect in this project. Since no chemicals or explosives are used for mining of black trap, there is no source of contaminants that can contaminate surface waters or the ground waters.

Page 37: FORM –I, PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLANenvironmentclearance.nic.in/writereaddata/FormB/EC/Additional... · form –i, pre feasibility report environment management

Environment Clearance Report of M/s. Shree Gobarbhai Karshanbhai Kevadiya Page 37

3.2. Mitigation Measures

There is not the case with this lease, as mineral or soil does not contain any

harmful ingredients that could leach to the water table. Thus the area working

shall not affect the ground water quality.

The impact of mining on ground water is not anticipated; therefore measures are not required.

4. LAND ENVIRONMENT 4.1. Anticipated impacts

In open cast mining, the top crust of earth i.e. top soil/sub soil is completely

removed below which are mineral deposits. The earth rock and other strata, called

O/B are completely removed to provide access to the mineral deposit. In this

manner land use pattern of an area always changes in the form of voids formed due

to excavation of mineral. Topography of the surrounding area will remain

unchanged. The drainage pattern due to proposed mining will not be disturbed

within core zone as well as buffer zone. The thickness of the top soil is 2 m , it

shall be scrapped and stack at separate place and will be used for plantation.

4.2. Mitigation measures

The mining area will be affected to the land environment. The excavated area will

be creating artificial water reservoir which rain water harvesting. The top soil will

be stack at separate earmarked site and use for the plantation.

5. NOISE ENVIRONMENT 5.1. Anticipated impacts

As far as noise pollution is concerned, Black Trap mining does not contribute much to noise pollution, except the noise generated from hydraulic driller. Noise level in the working environment is compared with the standards prescribed by central pollution control board which will be adopted and enforced by the govt. of India through the noise pollution (Regulation and control) Rules, 2000

Page 38: FORM –I, PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLANenvironmentclearance.nic.in/writereaddata/FormB/EC/Additional... · form –i, pre feasibility report environment management

Environment Clearance Report of M/s. Shree Gobarbhai Karshanbhai Kevadiya Page 38

The exposures to excessive noise levels can lead to: Prevention of sleep, insomnia & fatigue.

Decrease in speech reception, communication, disturbance and diminished

concentration thus adversely affecting job performance efficiency.

Irreparable psychological disturbance including impaired hearing.

5.2. Mitigation measures

Mitigate the noise level following control measures will be adopted:-

1. Periodical monitoring of noise will be done.

2. Regular and proper maintenance of noise generating machinery.

3. Proper PPE in form of earplugs and safety eye wear shall be provided to

workers working with the hydraulic driller and those in immediate vicinity

of it.

4. Plantation in applied area will – also reduce propagation of noise outside

the core zone.

5. Green belt shall provide at the lease periphery, within the applied area.

5.3. BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT

No forests land the area. It is entirely a government land. No endangered species found in the applied area, so no adverse impact on the flora & fauna. Since, there are no endangered spices of flora & fauna observed in core zone as well as buffer zone. Therefore, measures are not required. 6. GREENBELT DEVELOPMENT

The implementation for development of green belt will be of paramount

importance as it will not only add up as an aesthetic feature, but also act as

a pollution sink.

The species to be grown in the area should be dust tolerant and fast growing

species so that permanent green belt is created.

Apart from the green belt and aesthetic plantation for elimination fugivitive

of emission and noise control, all other plantation efforts shall be decided

and executed with the assistance and co-operation of the local community.

6.1.Socio-Economic

The impact of mining on social demographic profile is positive because displacements of habitat are not involved in this project. Navi Nesdi project will generate rural employment. The mining activities in the area will raise economic status of the mine workers.

7.ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN IMPLEMENTATION

Environmental Management plan serves no purpose if it is not implemented with true spirit. Thus, an implementation and monitoring programme has to be prepared. Implementation of proposed control measures and monitoring programmed has an implementation on the surrounding area as well as for the region. Therefore mining management should be strengthen the existing control measures implemented within the black trap mining area relating to the following specific areas.

Collection of air and water samples at strategic location with frequency

suggested and by analyzing thereof. If the parameters exceed the

permissible tolerance limits, corrective regulation measure should be taken.

Collection of soil samples at strategic locations once in a year and analysis

thereof with regard to deleterious constituents, if any.

Regular visual examination will be carried out to look for possibilities of

erosion. Any abnormal condition, if observed should be taken care of.

Measurement of noise levels at mine site, stationary and mobile sources,

and adjacent villages will be done.

Plantation will be done as per program i.e. along the boundary.
