2.4 MANUFACTURING PROCESS:
a) Iron Ore Beneficiation Plant
Iron Ore Beneficiation is a preparation of raw materials i.e. fine grinding of desired grade
ores meeting Pelletization process requirement. Beneficiation is done when the material
is of low grade.
The Iron Ore beneficiation plant process consists of following sections:
Grinding Section
1. Size reduction (crushing, primary/ secondary grinding for liberating valuable mineral)
2. Scrubbing process (Removal of associated gangue)- The Iron ore after grinding is
feed to the Scrubber with a conveyor belt supplied together with a proper amount of
water where agglomerates are dispersed and particle surfaces scrubbed.
3. Screening (classification at required sizes)- The scrubber discharge is pumped to a
screen and particles <0.5mm are screened off.
4. Gravity separation process - It separates the heavy & light minerals from the ore.
5. Cycloning process (classification by sorting).
Spiral Separation Section
• The spiral separation section consists of batteries of primary concentrating spirals,
cleaner concentrating spirals, scavenger concentrating spirals and ends with a Low
Intensity Magnetic Separator (LIMS) before the transfer to the High Gradient
Magnetic Separator (HGMS).
• Cyclone U/F is feed to the primary spirals together with the return flow from the
tailings of the cleaner spirals.
• The primary spirals produces 3 products, a concentrate, a middling’s and tailings.
• The primary concentrate is pumped to the cleaner spirals, the middling’s is pumped
to the scavenger spirals and the tailings, 38.24tph are pumped to the LIMS together
with the scavenger tailings.
• The cleaner spirals gives 2 products, a concentrate and tailings.
• The scavenger spirals gives 2 products, a concentrate and tailings. The scavenger
concentrate is pumped together with the primary spiral concentrate to the cleaner
spiral.

High Gradient Magnetic Separation (HGMS) Section
Magnetic separation process recovers the magnetic constituents
1. The HGMS separation section consists of a HGMS separator size 250-07-07 with two
parallel magnetic heads of 0.7 Tesla (7 k Gauss).
2. The feed 81.36tph is passing a passive matrix ahead of the HGMS to remove coarse
particles and other scrape that can block the magnetic heads and is then
distributed to the 2 parallel magnet heads on the HGMS.
3. The HGMS gives 2 products, a concentrate 36tph and a tailing 45. 36tph. The
concentrate is flushed out backwards from the separator through a vacuum system
and is pumped to the concentrate thickener. The HGMS tailings gravity flows via a
launder to the tailings thickener.
Regrinding Mill
1. The concentrate has to be further grounded to meet the required particle size
distribution of pellet feed, app. k80 45µm. The energy needed is approximate
6.5kWh/ton, which corresponds to a ball mill with a motor power of 1200 kW.
2. The mill feed, 135.84tph with 65.0% Fe and 3.3% (Al2O3+SiO2) is the combined product
from the concentrate thickener U/F and the spiral concentrate. The mill is operated in
open circuit. The mill discharge is pumped to the slurry holding tank before filtration.
Dewatering Section
• The dewatering section consists of a concentrate thickener, a tailings thickener,
slurry holding tank, a filter press and filter cake transfer conveyor.
• HGMS concentrate, 36tph is the fed to the concentrate thickener. The
concentrate thickener underflow is pumped to the regrinding mill.
• The thickener overflow is collected in a reclaim water tank for primary use as
flush water in the HGMS.
• Excess water flows to the process water tank.
• The regrind mill discharge is pumped to a slurry holding tank and from the tank
the slurry is pumped to the filter press.

M/s. Gulf Ispat Ltd. 27 JM EnviroNet (P) Ltd
• The concentrate, 135.84tph is dewatered on a filter press to final moisture of
9.5%. The filter cake is discharged onto a conveyor belt and put on a stockpile.
Filtrate water and wash water are pumped to the flush water tank.
• The tailings, 64.16tph, cyclone O/F and HGMS tailing, flows by gravity in launder
to the tailings thickener.
• Tailing thickener U/F is pumped to the tailings pond and the tailing thickener O/F
is collected in the process water tank.
b) Iron Ore Pelletization Plant
The process of Iron Ore Pelletization involves following stages:
•••• Formation of green balls (rolling of moistened ground ore mixed with additives )
•••• Drying, pre-heating, heating of green balls in TG.
•••• Induration of heated pellet in Rotary Kiln.
•••• Cooling of Indurated Balls called pellet in cooler.
C) Producer Gas Plant
• For the production of Gas the saturated air formed by mixing the low pressure steam
self-generated by furnace proper water jacket and recuperator with the blowing air
will be taken as gasification agent.
• The gasification agent enters into Gasifier via the grate from air pipe at the bottom of
furnace via passing through dry check valve, which will react with hot semi-coke
formed by raw coal fed in reverse way to generate hot gas at gasification section,
among which, about 70% will be led out via the channel within central steel tube and
circular Gasifier wall to form the bottom gas.
• The rest 30% will directly heat, dry and carbonize the soft coal at carbonization
section, and form the top gas together with carbonization gas.
• The soft coal entering the furnace will be heated by hot gas generated in gasification
zone and loses its internal and external moisture at first (90~150˚C), then it will be
gradually carbonized (150~550˚C) to release the volatile matter, the composition of
which is tar, paraffin gas, phenol and mixture of H2 , CO2 , CO, H2O, among which, the
tar and light tar will be eliminated through subsequent purification when going with

Gas Plant (2x25000 Nm3/hr) at Village : Ghughra, Tehsil : Sihora, District : Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh
Final EIA/EMP Report
M/s. Gulf Ispat Ltd. 28 JM EnviroNet (P) Ltd
top gas, while the paraffin gases and H2 , CO2 , CO will, as carbonization gas, mix with
partial Gasifier gas generated at gasification section to form top gas.
• The purification treatment for top gas will use the advanced class-1 electric tar
catcher with an operation temperature between 90~150˚C to remove the heavy tar
(the general calorific value can reach to above 8,200Kcal/kg). The removed heavy tar
typically account for 2~5% of total charging coal, which is high quality chemical
material and fuel. The top gas that undergoes preliminary tar-removal will then enter
into the indirect cooler.
• Once the raw coal is carbonized by bottom gas at carbonization section, it will form
hot semi-tar and enter into gasification section.
• Purification treatment for bottom gas.
• The bottom gas and top gas separately enter into the top mixing & spraying tower of
indirect cooler where they are mixed, and cleaned.
• The temperature of mixed gas entering into electric light oil catcher is between
35~45˚C. The gas mainly contains light oil. The impurities in the gas will be reduced to
below 100mg/m3 after light oil removing and dedusting, then, the gas will leave the
electric light oil catcher and enter into the low pressure gas main. The light oil
production rate is 1-2%.
• The cold & clean gas arriving in low pressure main will be pressurized to around
15,000pa after passing through the gas booster, the pressurized gas will enter into
the high pressure gas main and via which being transferred to the user.

Apart from the Baseline monitoring as given in the in proceeding section, the data on
land use, vegetation and agricultural crops were also collected by the field team
through interaction with a large number of local inhabitants of the study area and
different Government departments/ agencies. This provided an excellent opportunity
to the members of the field team for obtaining clear scenario of the existing
environment of the study area.
3.3 LAND USE / LAND COVER OF THE STUDY AREA
Land Cover is the physical material at the surface of the earth (it includes grass,
asphalt, trees, bare ground, water, etc.) whereas Land use is the human use of land.
Land Use involves the management and modification of natural environment or
wilderness into built environment such as fields, pastures, and settlements. It has also
been defined as "the arrangements, activities and inputs people undertake in a
certain land cover type to produce, change or maintain it".
Realizing the need for an up-to-date nationwide LULC maps by several departments
in the country, as a prelude, a LULC classification system with 24 categories up to
Level-II, suitable for mapping on 1:25,000 scale, was developed by NRSA, DOS by
taking into consideration the existing land use classification adopted by NATMO,
CAZRI, Ministry of Agriculture, Revenue Department, AIS and LUS, etc. and the details
obtainable from satellite imagery.
There is no one ideal classification of land use and land cover, and it is unlikely that
one could ever be developed. There are different perspectives in the classification
process, and the process itself tends to be subjective, even when an objective
numerical approach is used.
Concepts concerning land cover and land use activity are closely related and in many
cases have been used interchangeably. The purposes for which lands are being used
commonly have associated types of cover, whether they are forest, agricultural,
residential, or industrial. Remote sensing image-forming devices do not record
activity directly. The remote sensor acquires a response which is based on many
characteristics of the land surface, including natural or artificial cover. The interpreter
uses colour, tones, textures, shapes, size, patterns, and site associations to derive
information about land use activities from what is basically information about land
cover.

To begin with, there is considerable diversity of opinion about what constitutes land
use, although present use of land is one of the characteristics that are widely
recognized as significant for planning and management purposes. A land use and land
cover classification system which can effectively employ orbital and high-altitude
remote sensor data should meet the following criteria:
� The level of interpretation accuracy in the identification of land use and land
cover categories from remote sensor data should be 60 - 85 percent.
� The accuracy of interpretation for the several categories should be about equal.
� Repeatable or repetitive results should be obtainable from one interpreter to
another and from one time of sensing to another.
� The classification system should be suitable for use with remote sensor data
obtained at different times of the year.
� Effective use of subcategories that can be obtained from ground surveys or
from the use of larger scale or enhanced remote sensor data should be
possible.
Some of these criteria should apply to land use and land cover classification in
general, but some of the criteria apply primarily to land use and land cover data
interpreted from remote sensor data. The classes in the classification system are
hierarchically organized to find its applicability in different spatial scales and
collapsible for comparison with the reported areas; adopt directly by user agencies
with refinements at their end. The classification must be scientifically defensible
presenting a logical progression of its applicability over large areas, amenable for use
with remote sensor data. The classification scheme is adopted for extracting
information for on most possible land use/land cover classes in general and all the
agricultural seasons in particular and hence enable to repeat the process at regular
time intervals.
The present Land use / Land cover map for the proposed project activity is prepared
by current vintage of satellite image. This report, therefore, helps in assessing the
impact on land use pattern in the study area due to the proposed project activity.

• DATA USED
Current vintage data of Indian Remote Sensing Satellite Resourcesat -2 (L4 FMX)
digital FCC (False Color Composite) has been used for preparation of Land use/ Land
cover thematic map of study area. Survey of India toposheet as a reference map on
1:50,000 scale has been used for preparation of base layer data like road, rail network,
village and project site and for geo-referencing of satellite image.
Technical Details
� Satellite Image - Resource sat-2 (L4 FMX)
� Satellite Data Source - NRSA, Hyderabad
� Software Used - Earth Resources Data Analysis System
(ERDAS) Imagine 9.2
• METHODOLOGY
Land use / Land cover map preparation, Base map creation; Geometric and
Radiometric correction of satellite image has been processed using ERDAS Imagine
9.2 Software.
The methodology used for present LU/LC of study area is given below:
(i) ENHANCEMENT OF SATELLITE IMAGE
Satellite data is composed of substantial noise and haze errors due to various
environmental factors, which affect the amount of reflectance (information) that can
be deciphered. Since mapping of satellite images is based on spectral signatures, it is
necessary to normalize the redundant values into near true values. This process of
deriving true reflectance values is known as normalization. This enhances
interpretability of the satellite image thereby facilitating better identification of land
features viewed on satellite imagery. Histogram equalization and radiometric
correction has been used for satellite image enhancement.
(ii) GEOREFERENCING OF SATELLITE IMAGE
Survey of India Toposheet has registered in Geographic lat/long. Satellite image has
been geo referenced by using registered SOI toposheet as a reference map taking
suitable Ground Control Points (GCPs) like intersection point of railway, road
network, landmarks and permanent feature

(iii) BASE MAP LAYER CREATION
Base map has been prepared using Survey of India Toposheet as a reference map on
1:50000 scale. In base layer linear and point feature like road, rail, canal, village
location and project site have been created in vector data format. Base map layer
information has been used for analysis of surrounding features like road, rail, village
location near Proposed Plant through superimposing on thematic map for data
integration.
(iv) INTERPRETATION OF REMOTE SENSING DATA
Satellite images are composed of array of grid, each grid has a numeric value that is
known as digital number. Smallest unit of this grid is known as a pixel that captures
reflectance of ground features represented in terms of Digital number, each
representing specific land features. Using image classification technique, the satellite
data is converted into thematic information, map based on the user’s knowledge
about the ground area. Hybrid technique has been used i.e. visual interpretation and
digital image processing for identification of different land use and vegetation cover
classes based on spectral signature of geographic feature. Spectral signature
represents various land use classes. Image interpretation keys are developed based
on image characteristics like color, tone, size, shape, texture, pattern, shadow,
association etc, which enables interpretation of satellite images for ground feature.
Training sites are then assigned based on their spectral signature and interpretation
elements. Using image classification algorithm land use map is generated.
(C) RESULTS
A hybrid technique has been used i.e. visual interpretation and digital image
processing to generate output Land use / Land cover map of 10 km study area on
1:50000 scale.

3.3.2 Digital Elevation Model
Digital Elevation Models are data files that contain the elevation of the terrain over a
specified area, usually at a fixed grid interval over the "Bare Earth". The intervals
between each grid points will always be referenced to some geographical coordinate
system. This is usually either latitude-longitude or UTM (Universal Transverse
Mercator) coordinate systems. The closer are together the grid points, more detailed
information will be in the file. The details of the peaks and valleys in the terrain will be
better modelled with small grid spacing than when the grid intervals are very large.
Elevations other than at the specific grid point locations are not contained in the file.
As a result peak points and valley points not coinciding with the grid will not be
recorded in the file. For practical purpose this "Bare Earth" DEM is generally
synonymous with a Digital Terrain Model (DTM). DEM has been prepared for the
proposed project activity of GIL for 10 km radius of the study area.
(A) DATA USED
DEM Data : Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) data
Software Used : ERDAS Imagine 9.2 and Arc GIS 9.2
(B) METHODOLOGY
Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) data has been used for creation of Digital
Elevation Model of the study area. The SRTM data has vertical accuracy of 16m and
the spatial resolution is of 90m.
1st Stage :
The first processing stage involves importing and merging the 1-degree tiles into
continuous elevation surfaces in Arc GRID format.
2nd Stage :
Re-sampling the data at 23m is done and a contour interval of 10m through the usual
process of interpolation is created.
3rd Stage:
SRTM data is converted in grid format through Arc GIS 9.2 to obtain elevation
information of study area. Contours are then generated at 10 m interval through 3D
analyst of Arc GIS and then are in0terpolated with raster data.

3.4 PHYSIOGRAPHY AND DRAINAGE PATTERN
Physiography
The district is part of Jabalpur Division. Jabalpur is located at 23°10′N 79°57′E / 23.17°N
79.95°E.The central point of India is located in Jabalpur district. It has an average
elevation of 411 metres (1348 ft). In the south-eastern part of Jabalpur district in
Madhya Pradesh that constitutes a part of Satpura and Bhitrigarh uplands, many old
erosional platforms at various levels, though now dissected into landscapes of
various stages are easily identified by even skylines. These wide spread uniformity is
due to the abundance of accordant summit levels at uniform altitudes in the area. The
region forms a part of the vast deccan plateau of Central India. It marks the beginning
of the plateau at the nothern boundary. The hill ranges running across the plateau
have a subdued topography of old peneplains.
The major rivers that flow through this region are the Narmada, Hiren and Vanganga.
Narmada is the largest river of all which has many tributaries as well. Narmada
flowing through the marble rocks attracts tourists from all over the world. The main
water reservoirs of Kahdari along with Pariyat are located in the northeast of this
region. The topography of Jabalpur is truly admirable. The hills contain deposits of
minerals and ancient remains, hence making them subjects of much interest for
geologists and archaeologists. The hills here are rocky with innumerable barren
hillocks. The study area near Ghughra village Hiren River flowing 1km SE direction.
This river is main source of water in industries.
Drainage Pattern-
The peculiar topography of the Jabalpur district provides an excellent natural
drainage pattern. The central ridge, that is just parallel to the railway horse shoe
which begins from the dwarf hills in the east and runs to the west. The drainage of
the city is divided into two distinct parts i.e. northern portion and the southern
portion. The northern plain gradually slopes from east to north-west while the
southern part of the town slopes towards the south. The storm water of the central
city is channelised through Moti nala and Omti nala which passes through the city and
ultimately discharges into Pariat River, which ultimately merges with Hiren River, a
tributary of river Narmada at the down-stream of river. The southern side is drained
off by Khandhari nallah which discharges into River Narmada towards south-west.

Tehsil Sihora falls in Narmada basin. The Hiren is the main river, draining in this area.
The Slope of the river bed is about 1 in 1000 & it mostly flows through alluvium
deposits. Besides these there are number of streams flowing nearby the Sihora town
some of the important ones are Barne Nalla, Bafhela Nala, Magni Nala & Mabbaria
Nala which are all tributaries of Hiren river.
Geology-
Madhya Pradesh State hosts the country's 90% diamond, 63% diaspore, 61% laterite,
56% pyrophyllite, 41% molybdenum, 29% dolomite, 17% each of rock phosphate &
fireclay resources. The submetamorphic rocks of the central and north-eastern part of
the Jabalpur district from a part of the narrow elongated and discontinues belt of the
sub metamorphic series occurring in the Narmada, son and Ganges valleys (Pandey
1970). The central and north-eastern parts of the Jabalpur district are occupied by a
belt of sub-metamorphic rocks which is approximately 30 miles wide. There exists a
great spared of the Vindhyan sandstones and the Decan trap respectively towards
the north and south of this belt. The sub metamorphic series includes a great variety
of rocks and stretches and eastwards into the son valley.
The Siroha area S-shaped outcrop pattern of the sub metamorphic rocks of the area.
Jabalpur formations ranging in age from lower proterozoic to pliestocene,
structurally very complex and thus considered a "Home of Geology". The rocks of
Jabalpur area are mainly Upper Carboniferous to lower Cretaceous period. Important
associated mineral deposits occurrences in the entire district like calcite, china clay,
Iron ore, coal, Limestone etc. The project site area Iron ore deposit exposed.
Pratapgarh area hematite and magnetite mineral associated with iron ore deposits.
3.5 SEISMICITY & FLOOD HAZARD ZONATION OF THE AREA
3.5.1 Seismicity of The Area
In peninsula India the state of Madhya Pradesh, along with Gujarat and Maharashtra,
has suffered from frequent earthquakes, both deadly and damaging, although not
located on or near any plate boundaries. All the earthquakes here, as in all of
peninsula India, are intraplate events. Most of the activity is confined to the Narmada-
Son fault zone which runs across the state. Several faults have been identified in this
region out of which many show evidence of movement during the Holocene epoch.

3.6 METEOROLOGY
Meteorology plays a vital role in determining the transport and diffusion pattern of
air pollutants released into atmosphere. The principal variables include horizontal
connective transport (average wind speed and direction), vertical connective
transport (atmospheric stability) and topography of the area.
Meteorological characteristics of an area are very much important in deciding the
project installation, assessing possible environmental impacts and in preparing
environmental management plan.
Since meteorological factors show wide fluctuations with time, meaningful
interpretation can be drawn only from long-term reliable data. Such source of data is
the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), which maintains a network of
meteorological stations at several important locations.
The nearest IMD station to the Proposed Project is located in Jabalpur. The
Meteorological data i.e. temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, wind speed, and wind
direction, recorded at two synoptic hours i.e. 08:30 and 17:30 for Winter Season
(December, 2013 to February,2014) was obtained from this station to study
meteorology of the study area.
3.6.1 Climate
The climate of Jabalpur can be divided into three distinct seasons, viz.
• Monsoon lasting from mid-June to September.
• Winter from November to February; and
• Summer from March to mid-June.
The month of October witnesses the transition from monsoon to winter. The city
experiences hot summers and cold winters, with temperatures ranging from an
average low of around 9.8O Celsius to an average high of about 41.7O Celsius.
Temperature during the peak summer month of May can soar to 47 degrees Celsius,
while the lowest temperature recorded was 00 Celsius on 2nd December 1905.
3.6.2 Rainfall
The monsoons arrive in July and depart by September. The city witnesses torrential
rainfall during the monsoons which lend an air of pleasantness to the climate.

3.6.3 Wind Speed / Wind direction
Wind speed and wind direction data recorded during the study period has enabled
identifying the influence of meteorology on the air quality of the area. Based on the
collected meteorological data, relative percentage frequencies of different wind
directions were calculated and plotted as wind roses for twenty four hour duration.
Maximum and minimum temperatures including percentage relative humidity were
also recorded simultaneously.
The observed wind pattern during the study period is described below and is plotted
for the study period. The predominant direction over all wind patterns for the study
period (Winter season’2013-14) is from North direction. Wind speed during this period
varies from 1.2 to 6.2 m/sec. Wind rose diagram is shown in Figure- 15.
3.6.4 Micro-Meteorology at Site
Meteorological station was set-up at site to record surface meteorological parameter
during study period Winter Season 2013-2014.

3.6.5 Mixing Height
Mixing height is the height to which dispersion of pollutants occurs within the
atmosphere. Mixing height depends on basic meteorological parameters, surface
turbulent fluxes and physical parameters, and follows a diurnal cycle.
Inversion may be defined as the “departure from the usual increase or decrease of
atmospheric conditions with altitude.” It usually refers to an increase in temperature
with increasing altitude, which is in contrast to usual decrease of temperature with
height.
In the absence of onsite data, IMD publication, “Atlas of Hourly Mixing Height and
Assimilative Capacity of Atmosphere in India”, for the study area has been used.

3.10 SOIL ENVIRONMENT
3.10.1 Soil Quality And Characteristics
The information on soils has been collected from various secondary sources and also
through primary soil sampling analysis which is described in this section.
For studying the soil profile of the region, 8 locations were selected to assess the
existing soil conditions in and around the proposed project area representing various
land use conditions. The concentrations of physical and chemical parameters were
determined. In addition to the above, information on the availability of water sources
at sampling locations were also collected.
The sampling locations have been finalized with the following objectives:
� To determine the baseline soil characteristics of the study area; and
� To determine the impact of industrialization on soil characteristics.
Quality of the soil in the area is showing a marked diversity in nature depending upon
the parent rock and climatic conditions prevailing in different parts of the district. The
analysis results of the soil samples collected are given in table below.

3.10.2 Result
Soil is the media for supplying the nutrients for plant growth. Nutrients are
available to plants at certain pH and pH of soils can reflect by addition of
pollutants in it either by air, or by water or by solid waste or by all of these. In
order to establish the baseline status of soil characteristics, soil samples were
collected at 6 sampling locations.
The analysis results show that soil is neutral to slightly alkaline as pH value

3.11 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT
3.11.1 Methodology
3.11.1.1 Floral Study
The floral survey of project area is based on extensive field survey of the area.
The seasonal study has been conducted in winter season. The plant species were
identified with the help of available literature, concern with forest department
and local people of study area.
3.11.1.2 Faunal Study
Ground survey were carried out by trekking the impact zone for identification of
important animal group such as butterflies (Insect), birds, mammals and reptiles
etc inhibiting the area. The fauna were identified by using standard monograph
of birds, butterflies, reptiles, Mammals etc.
Survey techniques: The visual encounter survey (VES) technique was used. The
VES technique involves walking through the study site systematically searching
for animals during a given time period. No Time Constrained Studies (TCS) were
utilized and hence a varied amount of time was spent at the sites based on
species diversity. Micro-habitats studied included terrestrial, arboreal and
aquatic during the study.
Given the elusive nature of animals, VES techniques are very effective to
estimate the species richness. However, species counts of animals are very
difficult, given the terrain and nocturnal habits of many species.
Equipment used: Torches for night searches, measuring tape and vernier
calipers for measurements and a Nikon Camera of 25 X Zoom for photography
and binocular for assessment of animal to safe distance.

• Water sprinkler would be used on connecting road for transportation of
material to control fugitive emission in surrounding environment.
• Transport vehicles and machinery would be properly maintained and
periodically check pollution level to reduce noise level and gases emission
surrounding environment.
• Transportation of raw material and construction material should be
preferred in day time.
• The removal or picking of any protected or unprotected plants shall not be
permitted.
• Water pollution and Air pollution would be control at source as per guideline
of Central Pollution control Board, New Delhi.
• The three tier greenbelt would be developed on periphery of mine pit,
around water bodies, village with in mine lease. The plant specifies selection
for greenbelt would be according to guideline of CPCB. These species should
be drought resistance and can be control gaseous emission and fugitive
emission. The green belt is also beneficial for controlling noise pollution of
surrounding environment.
• Riparian vegetation would be developed on the water edge of river crossing
nearby proposed project to maintain healthy aquatic ecosystem and reduce
the negative impact on plankton diversity of river aquatic ecosystem.
• Create water holes and check dams for drinking purpose to wildlife with in
reserve and protected forest with the corporation of forest department.
• The degraded forest patches would be restoration as ecological manner
with corporation of forest department.
• In the event that animals are present that may pose a risk to human safety, a
suitable animal handler must be requested to removed the animal in an
environmentally responsible manner. This is specifically refers to snake.
• Create a live hedge of sturdy woody shrubs along the road on either side
that would restrict the wildlife to cross road connected to project site.

Education Program (DPEP), Ghummakad Vidyalaya Shiksha Mitra Yojna. In this
area, the literacy rate is good. Male and Female literacy rate of villages are
varying place to place. Although Female literacy rate in the region is coming out
low as compared to male. Due to high literacy, educated manpower is easily
available in the local area.
3.12.2.8 Economic Activities
The economy of an area is defined by the occupational pattern and income level
of the people. The occupational structure of residents in the study area is
studied with reference to work category. The population is divided occupation
wise into three categories, viz., main workers, marginal workers and non-
workers. The workers include cultivators, agricultural laborers, those engaged in
household industry and other services.
The marginal workers are those workers engaged in some work for a period of
less than 180 days during the reference year. The non-workers include those
engaged in unpaid household duties, students, retired persons, dependents,
beggars, vagrants etc. besides institutional inmates or all other non-workers
who do not fall under the above categories.

3.12.2.9 Annual Income from Various Sources
The Income & Expenditures of an area is defined by the occupational pattern
and income level of the people in the area. Bidi making is the main source of
income and mostly rural population depends upon this as well as agriculture
activities also for their livelihood. But the majority of people are engaged in
small scale industries i.e. activities like Bidi making, basket making, private
services, government services, labor etc.
3.12.2.10 Agriculture and cropping pattern
Agriculture is the main occupation in the proposed area. Almost 73 % of the
families depend on agriculture practices for their livelihood. As per secondary
survey we find that the areas have mostly land is good fertile land. Balkund Nadi
(0.5 km in SE), Hiren River (1.0 km in SSE), Silpuri Nala (4.0 km in ENE), Hagni
Nala (7.0 km in South), Bhagela Nala (7.5 km in SSW) and Barne Nadi (9.0 km in
SW) are located surrounding from project site, which is used for irrigation
purpose. The district gets moderate rainfall of 889 mm during July-September
due to SW- Monsoon, it is very useful for agriculture. Apart from agricultural
activities they also involve in Bidi making, basket making etc, for income. In this
area cropping pattern are wheat, rice, pulses, oilseeds, and maize based on the
season crops. Mostly villagers (70%) start their agriculture activities in rainy
season due to availability of rain water. The villages where irrigation facilities are
available mainly wheat are cultivated. The inhabitants are financially well to do
and have to spend money to draw water by electronic motor from well, tube
well & canal which also passes through some of the villages. Sprinkling system
and manual method are also adopted for irrigation.
3.12.2.11 Basic Amenities
These are basic facilities which are available in proposed area. In all villages’
basic facilities as road, school, drinking water, electricity etc are available except
some villages. Like nearest Populated area is Sihora Tehsil about 8.0 km away
from the proposed project site in WSW direction. Depending upon population
there are schools, dispensaries, small hospitals, Drinking water, Market, Post
Office Petrol Pump, and Administrative Office, places of worship etc are
available in nearby area of the project site. Most of the villages are electrified.

Bank, Cooperative Society facility is also available, and Villagers are using this
facility.
3.12.2.12 Educational Facilities
Education plays a vital role in our life. We know that development in any area
mostly depends upon regional education system. Government has provided
educational facilities in each village. According to secondary surveyed of villages
Primary schools are available in every villages and Middle, Secondary and Senior
Secondary School (depend on population size) are available in some of the
villages children have access to Primary School and Middle school. As per census
data Female Literacy level is low in the proposed area which indicates that there
is need of good educational facilities.
After cross check of literacy rate from census data we found that some of the
village’s female literacy rate is not satisfactory like Parasiya, Manjauli, and Bar
etc. It has been found 49.63, 41.02 and 47.03 respectively in those villages.
3.12.2.13 Health Facilities
Good medical facilities are provided by Government such as Sub-Health center,
health center, aaganbari, etc but in the proposed area its provided services are
very poor. The people residing in the villages forced to depend on nearby larger
town like Jabalpur for better health care. Primary health care is poor in the
villages. People are not benefited by various government health schemes such
as Janani Surakhsa Yojana, Nationa Rural Health Mission.
3.12.2.14 Other Infrastructure Facilities
a) Transport Facilities
The proposed area is served by road transport. . The National Highways NH-7 is
at 5.2 km in NW and State Highway - 51 is 5.5 in NW direction from the project.
Most of the villages are well connected with major-district roads, village roads.
The nearest railway station is Central Railway Mainline at approximate distance
of 2.7 km in NW direction & Dundi Railway Station is 6.5 km in NNE direction
from the proposed site.
b) Post and Telegraphs

c) Electrification in the area
Most of the villages have electricity. Electricity is available for domestic,
commercial, industrial, agricultural and public lighting purposes. It is provided by
state electric board.
3.12.2.15 Drinking Water Facility
Drinking water is being fulfilled by hand pumps, dug wells, ponds and other
small water bodies. Hand pump facility is provided by Government, it is available
in every village and some villages have Government Scheme, Janta Jal Yogan
and Nal Yojana. In some villages, villagers made small water harvesting tanks in
their houses for drinking purpose. The existing water supply condition in the
villages is average. The number of individuals connection in the villages is
minimum, majority of the people are dependent on the community taps, in
addition to the drinking water the people are dependent on hand pumps. In the
summer season villagers are face water crises. Villagers travel in nearby villages
for drinking water. Water for irrigation purpose is used from bore wells and dug
wells. Villagers use local water bodies for washing cloth, cattle, irrigation and
many other purposes.
3.12.3 Potential Impacts & Mitigation Measures
3.12.3.1 Changes in social environment
In this section, an attempt has been made to describe the social effects of Iron
ore Pelletization and Beneficiation plant.
Social effects are a hybrid form of environmental, social and economic factors.
However, it should be emphasized that quantifying the socio-economic effects is
a difficult task.
• The proposed Iron ore Pelletization and Beneficiation plant project activities
will provide employment to person of different skills and trades.

• The employment potential will ameliorate economic conditions of these
families directly and provide employment to many other families indirectly
who are involved in business.
• The employment of local people in primary and secondary sectors of project
shall upgrade the prosperity of the region. This in-turn will improve the
socio-economic conditions of the area.
• The trend of out migration for employment, if any, is likely to be reduced
due to better economic opportunities available in the area.
• Proposed plant will result in considerable growth of stimulating the
industrial and commercial activities in the state. Small and medium scale
industries may be further developed.
3.12.3.2 Socio-economics
The project activities shall have good as well as adverse impacts on any of the
common property resources of the village communities.
Movement of heavy vehicles sometimes cause problems to agricultural land,
human habitations, air, noise, water and movement of public and also cause
traffic hazards. Air pollution is likely to be caused at various stages such as
excavation, loading, transportation and screening of material. . Most of the dust
will be generated from loading, screening and transportation operations.
3.12.3.3 Proposed Mitigation Measures
Air Environment:
The major pollutants released from the proposed plant will be Gaseous & Dust
emission.
• Gaseous emission will be control by keeping appropriate height of the
Chimneys
• Fugitive dust emission will be due to raw materials handling, loading and
unloading of raw materials.
• Regular spraying of water by water sprinkling system over haulage
roads.
Noise Environment:
• By selecting low noise generating equipment.

3.12.5 Conclusion
Company has committed to implement all the pollution control measures to
protect the surrounding environment. The project can definitely improve the
regional, state & national economy. Industrial growth is an indication of socio
economic development. On the basis of secondary data the socio economic
study of the proposed area have been observed that villages gives clear picture
of its population, average household size, literacy rate, sex ratio etc, therefore
the literacy rate in the proposed area is (75.02%). It has schedule tribe and
schedule castes. A part of population is suffering from the lack of permanent job
to run their day to day life and get basic facility. The proposed project is
expected to bring significant socio-economic and environmental benefits both
at local and global level.
As per secondary data the facilities available in other parts of the districts is lacks
of higher level of amenities like higher education, health, drinking water and
communication network. The proposed area needs more medical facilities. The
area is well connected with road transport and communication facilities.

CHAPTER – IV: ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES
4.0 IDENTIFICATION OF IMPACTS
The anticipated environmental impacts of the proposed Iron Ore Pelletization Plant &
Beneficiation Plant will be due to both constructional as well as operational activities.
These activities can disturb the environment in various ways, such as change in air,
water and soil quality of the area. While for the purpose of development and
economic upliftment of people, there is need for establishment of industries, but
these have to be environmental friendly. Therefore, it is essential to assess the
impacts of proposed industries on different environmental parameters, so that
abatement measures could be planned in advance for eco-friendly operation in the
area.
The increasing awareness among the people about ecological imbalance and
environmental degradation has raised many apprehensions. The major impacts on
different environmental parameters due to the proposed proposal are as given
below.
4.1 IMPACT DUE TO PROJECT ACTIVITIES
The main impact of the proposed project will be due to both constructional as well as
operational activities. During construction phase mainly involves site clearing,
excavation of soil, machinery installation, construction of internal road etc. Sources of
pollution for such activities will be temporary & doesn’t last for too long.
Activities involves during operation phase will mainly involve working of machineries,
combustion of fuel, transportation of man & material etc. Pollution phase shall be
continuous and will lead to varying impacts on the environment in terms of soil, air,
noise, water etc.
4.1.1 Impact on Soil and Land Use Pattern
4.1.1.1 Construction Phase
(A) Impact on Soil
The soil at the project site is silty clay (as per the sample analysis report from
laboratory) in nature which usually doesn’t support cultivation but is good for
plantation purpose. However the construction activities will lead to loss of plantation

within plant site due to pre-constructional clearing of site which will further lead to
removal of topsoil to some extent. Apart from such Temporary & localized
construction impacts, no adverse impacts on soil in the surrounding area are
anticipated.
(B) Impact on Topography & Land Use
Topography of the proposed site is generally flat. Some level of cutting and filling will
need to be done to maintain an even topography within the plant area. No major
change in topography of the site is envisaged due to proposed plant erection.
The results of present land use of the proposed project site indicates that Open scrub
Land dominates the Core Zone with 66.35% of the total land area. These will be
converted to industrial land use after the project execution. There are no major
human settlements in the project area.
Apart from the change in land use pattern and temporary change in soil profile within
the project site there will not be any adverse impact on the surrounding land use
during the construction period.
4.1.1.2 Operation Phase
(A) Impact on Soil
The soil of the area will get affected due to operational activities, if proper care will
not be taken.
i) Changes in soil texture due to settling of air borne dust or due to wash off of
solid particulates by surface water. This will lead to change in porosity,
permeability and other physical characteristics of soil of the area.
ii) Changes in soil chemistry due to addition of foreign material from polluted air
and water due to plant activities in the area.
But proper mitigative measures like use of efficient pollution control systems, proper
stack height, and use of top soil in plantation results in no significant impact on soil of
the core zone. There will be no impact on soil of the study area located beyond the
working area of the proposed project. Soil samples will be collected and tested at
regular intervals from the nearby areas. This will help in mitigation of any harmful
impact on soil due to the project activity, if any.

(B) Land Use Pattern and Cropping Pattern
Since the project is a Greenfield project the land use pattern of the area will
converted to Industrial Land.
The overall indirect impact on the cropping pattern is considered as positive due to
adoption of latest methods of sowing and irrigation as there is likelihood of increase
in purchasing power of local habitats, which could be attributed to the improvement
in income. There is likely to be no change in the cropping pattern in the close vicinity
of the plant, from the prevalent cropping pattern in the surrounding areas:
There will be no major impact on the cropping pattern of the area as:
� The Proposed Plant will be working on the principle of “Zero Effluent
Discharge” & no industrial waste water will be generated during the operation
phase.
� Solid waste so generated will be disposed off in designated mean.
� Adequate Green Belt will be developed all around the Plant boundary to
attenuate the pollutants emitted by the plant.
� Proper maintenance of vehicles will be done to reduce gaseous emissions &
only those vehicles will be used which are meeting PUC Std.
� ESP’s/ Bag filters will be installed in order to maintain the stack emission within
the limits prescribed by MoEF/ CPCB/SPCB.
Therefore, the impacts of Proposed Plant on the land use pattern will be insignificant.
4.1.2 Impact on Air Quality and Mitigation Measures
4.1.2.1 Impact during Construction Phase
The main sources of emission during the construction period will include site clearing,
the movement of construction equipment at site and dust emitted during the leveling
grading, earthwork and foundation works. Exhaust emissions from vehicles and
equipment to be deployed during the phase.
These activities will likely to result in marginal increase in the levels of Particulate
Matter, SO2, NO2 and CO. This will be mainly confined within the project boundary
due to the machinery use and to some extend outside the plant boundaries due to
transportation activities. The impact will, however, be marginal temporary and

manageable in nature. Proper maintenance of vehicles and construction equipment
will help in controlling the gaseous emissions. Vehicle meeting PUC norms will be
used to further control the gaseous emission. Water sprinkling on roads and
construction site will prevent fugitive dust.
4.1.2.2 Impact during Operation Phase
The operational phase of the project comprises of various activities each of which will
have an impact Air Quality. Both Dust & Gaseous emissions are likely to be emitted.
The key emissions from the proposed Project are emissions due to Particulate Matter,
Sulphur dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) & CO.
Better maintenance and installation of proper pollution control equipment like
ESPs/Bag filters help in reducing such emissions.
Hence, the overall quality of the ambient air shall be within the limit prescribed by
CPCB/SPCB after the commencement of Proposed Project.
4.1.2.3 Impact Due to Transportation of Raw Material
There will be some impact on the ambient air quality of the area due to the raw
material transportation as the majority of raw material transportation will be done via
road but this impact can be minimised by keeping proper maintenance of the vehicles
to be used & also allowing only those vehicles which are meeting PUC norms. The
details of the raw material transportation and its source are given in the table 44:

4.1.3 Cumulative Impact through Mathematical Modelling for the Proposed Plant
4.1.3.1 Air Pollution Modelling
Prediction of impacts on air environment has been carried out employing
mathematical model based on a steady state Gaussian plume dispersion model
designed for multiple point sources for short term. In the present case, AERMOD
version 8.0.5 dispersion model based on steady state gaussian plume dispersion,
designed for multiple point sources and developed by United States Environmental
Protection Agency [USEPA] has been used for simulations from Industrial sources.
4.1.3.2 Pollutants/Model Options Considered For Computations
The model simulations deal with major pollutant Particulate Matter emitted from the
proposed enhancement.
4.1.3.3 Model Options Used For Computations
The options used for short-term computations are:
� The plume rise is estimated by Briggs formulae, but the final rise is always
limited to that of the mixing layer;
� Stack tip down-wash is not considered;
� Buoyancy Induced Dispersion is used to describe the increase in plume
dispersion during the ascension phase;
� Calms processing routine is used by default;

� Wind profile exponents is used by default, 'Irwin';
� Flat terrain is used for computations;
� It is assumed that the pollutants do not undergo any physico-chemical
transformation and that there is no pollutant removal by dry deposition;
� Washout by rain is not considered;
� Cartesian co-ordinate system has been used for computations; and
� The model computations have been done for 20 km with 500-m interval.
4.1.3.4 Modelling Procedure
Prediction of ground level concentrations (GLC’s) due to enhancement project has been
made by AERMOD version 8.0.5 as per CPCB guidelines. It is US-EPA approved model to
predict the air quality. The model uses rural dispersion and regulatory defaults options as
per guidelines on air quality models (PROBES/70/1997-1998). For this study uniform polar
receptors on flat terrain have been assumed.
Meteorological inputs required are hourly wind speed and direction, ambient
temperature, stability class, and mixing height. The model details are as follows.
4.1.3.5 Gaussian Plume Model
The AERMOD version 8.0.5 model is based on a numerical integration over the area in
the upwind and cross wind directions of Gaussian plume formula. This can be applied to
the Point, Area, Line, Volume sources (and other forms of area sources) simultaneously
and their resultant incremental concentration of the pollutant can be predicted.
4.1.3.6 Extrapolation of Wind Speed
Wind speed at stack level is calculated by power law as given below.
Ustack = U10 (Stack height/10)p
Where U10 is the wind speed at 10 meter level and p is the power law coefficient (0.07,
0.07, 0.10, 0.15, 0.35 and 0.55 for stability classes A,B,C,D,E and F respectively) as per
Irwin for rural areas (USEPA, 1987).
4.1.3.7 Stability Classification
Hourly stability is determined by wind direction fluctuation method as suggested by
Slade(1965)and recommended by CPCB (PROBES/70/1997-1998).
σa = Wdr/6

� No other solid waste will be generated from the Proposed Plant.
4.1.7 Hazardous Waste Generation
Used oil will be generated as and when lubricating oil will be changed from the
various gearboxes. It will be mainly disposed off as per the following:
� Reuse in lubrication of other equipment exposed to dust/raw material where
the used oil gets consumed.
� Transaction with those waste oil reprocessing units which are registered with
the Ministry of Environment and Forests and have further authorization from
the State Pollution Control Board under Hazardous Waste (Management and
Handling) Rules for using waste oil for manufacturing lubrication oil.
4.1.8 Impact on Occupational Health and Mitigation Measures
This industry is labour intensive and uses large scale and potentially hazardous
manufacturing processes. The industry experiences accident rates that are high
compared with some other manufacturing industries. The industries experience risk
of a number of hazards inherent to its production process. Some examples of such
hazards are:
� Exposure to dust
� Exposure to High temperatures;
� Noise exposure.
� Physical Hazards
� Chemical hazards and other industrial hygiene issues
� Others
These mainly impact on those working within the plant, although health hazards can
also impact on local communities.
Exposure to Dust
Exposure to fine particulates is associated with work in most of the dust-generating
stages of the Unit, but most notably from, raw material handling, and Beneficiation

Plant. Workers with long term exposure to fine particulate dust are at risk of
pneumoconiosis, emphysema, bronchitis, and fibrosis.
Methods to prevent and control exposure to dust include the following:
� Control of dust through implementation of good housekeeping and
maintenance;
� Use of air–conditioned, closed cabins;
� Use of dust extraction and recycling systems to remove dust from work areas,
especially in Beneficiation Unit;
� Use of air pollution control equipments like Bag filters/ESP’s
� Use of PPEs , as appropriate (e.g. masks and respirators) to address residual
exposures following adoption of the above-referenced process and engineering
controls;
Exposure to High temperatures
The principal exposures to heat in this sector occur during Handling of hot material
and operation and maintenance of hot equipment. Recommended prevention and
control techniques include the following:
� Shielding surfaces where workers proximity and close contact with hot
equipment is expected, using Personal Protective Equipments (PPEs), as
needed (e.g. insulated gloves and shoes);
� Minimizing the work time required in high temperature environments by
implementing shorter shifts at these locations;
Noise and Vibration Exposure

of rocks and stretches and eastwards into the son valley.
The Sihora area S-shaped outcrop pattern of the sub metamorphic rocks of the area.
Jabalpur formations ranging in age from lower proterozoic to pliestocene,
structurally very complex and thus considered a "Home of Geology". The rocks of
Jabalpur area are mainly Upper Carboniferous to lower Cretaceous period. Important
associated mineral deposits occurrences in the entire district like calcite, china clay,
Iron ore, coal, Limestone etc. The project site area Iron ore deposit exposed.
Pratapgarh area hematite and magnetite mineral associated with iron ore deposits.
7.3.4.1 Geomorphology and Physiography
The district is part of Jabalpur Division. Jabalpur is located at 23°10′N 79°57′E / 23.17°N
79.95°E.The central point of India is located in Jabalpur district. It has an average
elevation of 411 metres (1348 ft). In the south-eastern part of Jabalpur district in
Madhya Pradesh that constitutes a part of Satpura and Bhitrigarh uplands, many old
erosional platforms at various levels, though now dissected into landscapes of
various stages are easily identified by even skylines. These wide spread uniformity is
due to the abundance of accordant summit levels at uniform altitudes in the area. The
region forms a part of the vast deccan plateau of Central India. It marks the beginning
of the plateau at the nothern boundary. The hill ranges running across the plateau
have a subdued topography of old peneplains.
The major rivers that flow through this region are the Narmada, Hiren and Vanganga.
Narmada is the largest river of all which has many tributaries as well. Narmada
flowing through the marble rocks attracts tourists from all over the world. The main
water reservoirs of Kahdari along with Pariyat are located in the northeast of this
region. The topography of Jabalpur is truly admirable. The hills contain deposits of
minerals and ancient remains, hence making them subjects of much interest for
geologists and archaeologists. The hills here are rocky with innumerable barren
hillocks. The study area near Ghughra village Hiren River flowing 1km SE direction.
This river is main source of water in industries.
7.3.4.2 Climate and Rainfall
The climate of Jabalpur can be divided into three distinct seasons, viz.
• Monsoon lasting from mid-June to September.

7.3.5 Aquifer Type
Depth to open wells tapping this aquifer ranges from 5- 20m. Ground water generally
occur in unconfining conditions and is transmitted through the fractures, joints and
foliation planes of granites, gneisses, Phyllite and schist. These rocks are impervious
in nature and do not have primary porosity. These rocks have the secondary porosity
due to presence of fracture zone and weathering. The secondary porosity decreases
with depth due to overlying weight of the rocks. Hence maximum hydraulic
conductivity is observed at shallow depth generally less than 100m. The Gondwanas
are sedimentary formations rich in granular zones and form good aquifers. They
support both dug wells and tube wells capable of yielding 100-500 m3/d for draw
downs of 6-10 m. Iron ore of the area is thick bedded, well jointed and therefore is
expected to have adequate fracture porosity and hydraulic conductivity. Most of the
rain falling on the top of the limestone hills is likely to percolate down through the
bedding planes and form a ground water basin in the foothill area. Area also has the
alluvium as the major aquifer these aquifers mostly present along the river and canal.
It comprises of unconsolidated gravel, sand, silt, clay in various proportions and has
primary inter granular porosity and permeability. Hence it is the most promising
formation for ground water development.
7.3.6 Specific Yield Potential
Gondawanas support both dug wells and tube wells capable of yielding 100-500 m3/d
for draw downs of 6-10m. The specific capacity ranges between 75-250lpm/m of
drawdown, hydraulic conductivity lies between 10- 25 m/d and specific yield is from
10-15%. The thickness of alluvium varies from 10-318m with aquifer thickness from 10-
160m. The depth to water ranges from 5-30mbgl. The yields vary from 30-50 m3/hr for
shallow wells and 30-200 m3/hr for deep wells. In the Narmada basin the yields are of
the order of 15-30 m3/hr in the phreatic zone and 70-200 m3/hr in the deeper zone.
The yield of such hand pumps is not much and is just sufficient to meet the drinking
water requirement. Open wells are generally 7 to 20m deep and are operated by
diesel engines and do not sustain pumping.
7.3.7 Ground Water Movement in the Study Area
The investigated area ground water movement are governed by mainly secondary
fractures as pegmatite and gneisses are impervious in nature and do not possess

primary porosity. The alluvial thickness is very low and remains unsaturated during
major part of the year.
The general land slope and drainage in the area is towards west and is approx 1 km
and to south east about 9 km. The ground water also follows the topography and
surface water moves in south easterly direction in surrounding area. The plant site
area ground water depth varies between 11-18m shown in figure 33.
Vector map information, direction and magnitude, can be derived from one grid. The
arrow symbol points in the "downhill" direction and the length of the arrow depends
on the magnitude, or steepness, of the slope. A vector is drawn at each grid node
unless some nodes are skipped by changing the Frequency setting on the symbol
page in the vector map properties dialog. For example, consider a grid containing
elevation information. If water were poured over the surface, the direction arrows
would point in the direction water flows from high elevation to low elevation.
Magnitude is indicated by arrow length. In the water flow example, the steeper
slopes would have longer arrows. In the study area ground water flow is in South-
Eastern direction (figure 32). A contour map is a two-dimensional representation of
three-dimensional data shown in figure 33.

7.3.8 Water Quality
In the present study, water quality data is presented through statistical distribution
diagram such as Piper, Durov, Scholler, Ion Balance plots. The Piper diagram
conveniently reveals similarities and differences among surface and groundwater
samples because those with similar qualities will tend to plot together as groups. The
Durov plot shows variation of total cation vs. total anion concentrations; along with
TDS (mg/L) and pH data to allow further comparisons. Whereas Schoeller plots are
semi-logarithmic diagrams that represent major ion analyses in meq/L to demonstrate
different hydro geochemical water types on the same diagram. Actual parameter
concentrations of a number of analyses are plotted at one time, hence it benefits the
comparison processes.
7.3.8.1 Ground Water
Ground water geochemical data analysis indicates that these samples have lower
sulfate and higher bicarbonate amount with dominance of calcium ions. The pH varies
from all locations 6.8 to 7.08. All pH values within permissible limits so this is
indicating ground water quality is good. The Piper plot for these samples shows that
ground water belongs to three type facies. Project Site and Ghughra village Mg-HCO3
type facies. Village Dhanwahi, Pararia, Keolari, Dhangawan and Mihganwan Ca-HCO3
type water present. The Sihora area ground water belong to the Ca-Cl type (Figure
34,35 ,36). Hence mixing of three types of waters is present in the areas. Maximum
TDS values 608mg/L observe in Dhangawan village ground water. Schoeller plots
were also plotted for all ground water samples as indicated in figure 36.
7.3.8.2 Surface Water
Surface water geochemical data analysis indicates that these samples have lower
sulfate and higher bicarbonate amount with dominance of chloride ions. The pH
varies from all locations 7.18 to 7.43. All pH values within permissible limits so this is
indicating water quality is good. The Piper plot for these samples shows that surface
water belongs to Ca-HCO3 type facies (Figure 38, 39, 40). All surface water samples
belong to same type facies.
In geochemical analysis of other heavy metals As, F, Fe, Cu, Mn, Hg, Cd, Pb, Se, Cr, Zn, B,
Ni etc. concentration is not more than permissible limits (Table 24 & 24 in chapter III) .
The ground water from all sources remains suitable for drinking purposes as all the

7.3.9 Ground Water Resource Evaluation
Protecting the Nation's ground water has become a major goal of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Ministry of Environment and other
Environmental Agencies. Under the clean Water Act and its subsequent amendments
are required to undertake an assessment of the quality and quantity of their ground
water resources. Ground water resources of an area can be distinguished under two
categories:
1. Dynamic ground water resources
2. Static ground water resources
7.3.9.1 Dynamic Ground Water Resources
Dynamic ground water is that amount of water, which is found in the natural zone of
fluctuation in an aquifer due to ground water recharge. Total ground water recharge
(RT) of the area can be estimated by assessing the various components of the
following equation:-
RT = Rr+ Rs+ RI+ Sr+ Rc
Where,
Rr = Recharge from Rainfall.
Rs = Recharge from Irrigation due to surface water.
RI = Recharge from Irrigation due to ground water.
SI = Recharge through surface water bodies.
Rc = Recharge to confined aquifers.
7.3.9.2 Ground Water Resources in the Core Zone
The investigated industrial area covers 0.32696Sq.km. The main source of ground
water recharge is recharge due to rainfall by direct percolation and different rain
water harvesting systems.
1. Recharge due to rainfall (Rrm)
(A) By Groundwater Table Fluctuation Method:
Recharge due to rainfall is computed by specific yield water table fluctuation method
as below:
RrmL = A × S.F ×Sy
Proposed Iron Ore Pelletization Plant (1.2 MTPA), Iron Ore Beneficiation Plant (3.0 MTPA) and Producer
Gas Plant (2x25000 Nm3/hr) at Village : Ghughra, Tehsil : Sihora, District : Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh
Final EIA/EMP Report
M/s. Gulf Ispat Ltd. 216 JM EnviroNet (P) Ltd
Where,
RrmL = Recharge due to rainfall in the investigated area.
A = Rechargeable area = 0.32696Sq. Km
S.F. = Seasonal fluctuation in water level = 1.4m Sedimentary/Limestone
Sy = Specific yield = 3% Sedimentary aquifers
Therefore,
RrmL = 0.32696× 106 x 1.4× 0.03
= 0.014mcm/annum ………………(I)
(B) By Rainfall Infiltration Factor Method:
In areas where groundwater level monitoring is not adequate in space and time,
rainfall infiltration may be adopted. The ground water estimation committee, Govt. of
India (1997) has suggested norms of recharge from rainfall under various hydro
geological conditions. The committee has suggested 3 to 10% as the rainfall infiltration
factor for limestone areas. An infiltration factor of 8% has been adopted for limestone,
due to steely dipping, thin bedded, jointed, and highly fractured. An attempt can be made
to find out if it matches with the ground water recharge calculated by seasonal
fluctuation method.
Rr2mL = area x normal rainfall x R.I. factor
= 0.32696 x106 x 1.3 x 0.08
= 0.034mcm/annum………………. (II)
7.3.9.3 Total Dynamic Reserves
Considering all above recharge components, total dynamic reserves in the
investigated area will be:
RTS= 0.034 mcm/annum
RrmL ≈ 0.014 mcm/annum
RrmL ≈ 0.034 mcm/annum

7.3.9.4 Ground Water Resources in the BufferZone
The area of Buffer zone (343.3966Sq.km – 0.32696 sq.km = 343.06964sq.km.) lies in
Village- Ghughra, Tehsil- Sihora, District: Jabalpur. This buffer zone has alluvium in
western part and crystalline metamorphic like iron ore, and mica schist in eastern
part. The entire area of buffer zone is irrigated by open wells only and tube well. Main
recharging factor in the area will be recharge due to rainfall and recharge due to
return flow from the applied irrigation. The ground water fluctuation of water table
during pre and post monsoon periods were recorded for the year 2011-12 from 35 key
wells as per the guidelines of the Ministry of Environment & Forest and taking specific
yield values of 10% for alluvium and 1.5% for crystalline metamorphic.
1. Recharge due to rainfall (Rrb)
(A) Groundwater table fluctuation method:
Ground water recharge from rainfall for the year 2011, which was above average
rainfall for the area, has been calculated by measuring the rise of water level in key
wells of the 343.06964sq.km area of the buffer zone.
The rise of water level indicates the quantity of water percolated to zone of
saturation due to recharge from rainfall. The rise has been varying from 0.5m to
0.65m in alluvium and 0.8 to 2.6m in gneisses and schist. Such a high value of rise in
water level in crystalline metamorphic is due to low fracture porosity of rocks. The
average rise has been found to be 0.55m in alluvium and 1.6m in metamorphic rocks.
Specific yield value of 10% for alluvium and 1.5% for metamorphic will be taken. Out of
total area of buffer zone about 107.6134sq km falls under crop, open land (alluvium).
Recharge due to rainfall in the buffer zone is computed by specific yield water table
fluctuation method as below:
Rr1 = A × S.F ×Sy
For Alluvium = 107.6134 x 0.55 x 0.1
= 5.92mcm/annum
For metamorphic = 235.46 x 1.6 x 0.015
= 5.65 mcm/annum.
RrmL ≈ 0.034 mcm/annum

Final EIA/EMP Report
M/s. Gulf Ispat Ltd. 218 JM EnviroNet (P) Ltd
Rr1 = 5.92 + 5.65
= 11.57 mcm/annum…………………..(I)
(B) Rainfall infiltration factor method:
The ground water recharge can also roughly estimated by rainfall infiltration
method. The ground water estimation committee, Govt. of India (1997) has
suggested norms of recharge from rainfall under various hydro geological
conditions. The committee has suggested 3 to 10% as the rainfall infiltration factor
for hard rock areas having weathered and fractured granitic gneiss and 10 to 15% for
alluvial areas having sandy soils. At an average level infiltration factor for the area
can be taken as 8%.
Rr2 = area x mean annual rainfall x R.I. factor
= 343.06964 x 1.3 x 0.08
= 35.68mcm/annum……………………… (II)
Ground water recharge calculated by fluctuation method matches well with the rainfall
infiltration method.
2. Recharge due to Applied Irrigation (RIB)
Ground water recharge from the return flow of irrigation water in sandy area is
normally taken as 30% of the total water applied for irrigation as suggested by the
committee. Ground water recharge from above factor is as under.
Alluvium area =3.02 x 0.3=0.91 mcm/annum
and
Metamorphic area =2.71 x 0.3=0.81 mcm/annum
RIB = 0.91+0.81= 1.72mcm/annum......(A)
3. Recharge due to Surface water bodies (SIB)
As per the land use pattern of the buffer zone total area under surface water bodies
work out to be 6.6768Sq.km. As per the GWEC ground water recharge through
surface water bodies can be taken as 40% of the total spread area. Hence Ground
water recharge from the above factors is as under:

=II+A+B
= 35.68 +1.72+ 2.67
= 40.07 mcm/annum
7.3.9.6 Ground Water draft of the BufferZone
1. Draft due to applied irrigation (DIB)
The ground water draft in the buffer zone takes place mainly by dug well used for
irrigation. There are about 210 dug wells tapping alluvium and 625wells in
metamorphic in buffer zone. These wells are being operated by the cultivators for
irrigation and are operated by diesel engines of 8/5 H.P. for 2 to 4 hours a day
depending on the capacity of well to sustain the pumping. Out of 625 wells of
metamorphic about 565 are being operated by pumps and rest without pump. As
stated earlier discharge of wells in alluvium area is about 120cum/day. Wells of
metamorphic have relative less discharge about 40cum/day for pump-operated wells
and about 20 cum/day for without pump operated wells. The annual draft has been
calculated after considering that these structures will operate only for 120 days in a
year. The annual ground water withdrawal from these wells is as under:
210 x 120 x 120 = 3.02 mcm/annum
565 x 40 x 120 = 2.71 mcm/annum
60 x 20 x 120 = 1.4 mcm/annum
DiB = 3.02 + 2.71 + 1.4
= 7.13 mcm/annum
2. Draft due to domestic use (DIB)
Study area (buffer zone) is the area within 10 km radius of the project site. It
covers 44 v illages of Tehsil- Sihora, District Jabalpur. The total population of the
study area is 77397 (As per the Census of INDIA 2011). Considering 100 litres (0.1 m3)
as domestic consumption in rural and semi urban area (as per GERC Report 1997), the
total water withdrawal for domestic use will be:

Final EIA/EMP Report
M/s. Gulf Ispat Ltd. 220 JM EnviroNet (P) Ltd
DdB = 77397 x 0.1 x 365
= 2.82 mcm/annum
Cattle consumption is assumed to be 10% of the projected domestic consumption; it
comes out to be 0.28 mcm/annum.
7.3.9.7 Total draft of the BufferZone
DTB = DiB+ DdB+ DinB + DcB
=7.13+2.82+0.28
= 10.23 mcm/annum
7.3.9.8 Surplus Dynamic Reserves of the BufferZone
Surplus ground water reserves are those reserves, which are available for utilization
and are expected to recharge every year. These reserves calculations are based on
the rainfall of 2013. Therefore, surplus reserves (Rw) are computed as follows:
RWB = Total Dynamic Reserves - Total ground water draft
RWB = RTB - DTB
RWB = 40.07 – 10.23
RWB= 29.84mcm/annum
At the study year rainfall, total ground water recharge is 40.07 mcm/annum. Total
ground water pumpage is 10.23 mcm, indicating that present stage of ground water
development is approximately 25% of the long term ground water recharge.

7.3.10 Aquifer Performance Test
Ground water is a replenish able resource, the quantification of which is of great
importance for drawing up plans for utilization and forms an important aspect in
judging the potentiality of an area in the line of total water requirement. A judicious
exploitation of ground water resources cannot be planned without the basic
knowledge of ground water hydraulics which is used in evaluating aquifer parameters
for predicating total water resources.
Hydraulic parameters of aquifer system are determined by conducting aquifer
performance test at optimum extraction rate on representative tube wells.
Observation during aquifer performance test includes measurement of water levels
and discharge rate. Water levels were measured with the help of water level indicator
and the yield was measured with the help of water meter installed at the outlet
delivery pipe. The effect of pumping was measured in both pumping well at standard
interval for 300min. data collected during the test were subject to analysis by Jacob’s
method to calculate hydraulic parameters of aquifer.
7.3.10.1 Step draw down test
A step draw down test is one in which the discharge rate is changed in controlled
stages. The discharge rate is maintained at a constant value within the stage. The test
is generally carried out in three steps. Drawdown measurements are taken
throughout the test with each step and maximum drawdown of the well is recorded.
The data obtained from the test are utilized in working out long duration pumping
rate based on the characteristics determined as a result of test. The pumping well
was subjected to step drawdown test in 2 stages of 200 min. each with the help of

2. Hydraulic Conductivity
This parameter is defined as rate of flow of water through one meter thickness of
aquifer from unit cross sectional area. It is determined by the formula:
K = T/b
Where,
T= Transmissivity of the aquifer = 7.7 m2/day
b= saturated thickness of the tested well = 8m (As per drilling)
K = 7.7/8
= 0.96 m/day
K = 0.96 m/day
7.3.11 Artificial Ground Water Recharge
7.3.11.1 Need for Articial Ground Water Recharge
To minimize the effect on ground water status, it is necessary that ground water
storage of the area must be augmented by rainwater harvesting so that the existence
of industry does not adversely affect the ultimate ground water status.
7.3.11.2 Nature of Problem
Rainfall is only source of water in the area; rainfall and evapotranspiration are two
major factors controlling the quantum of rainwater available for recharge. This area
receives about 85% of the total rainfall from south-west monsoon. The south west
monsoon extends from the middle of June to end of September. The district receives
50% of the rainfall during July and August month of the year. Thus, not only the total
rainfall but also its availability is confined to some percentage during which entire
water resources planning has to be done.
The other important factors controlling the natural recharge to ground water are
rainfall intensity, hydrogeology & depth of water level. It is observed that majority of
rainfall occurs in 3-5 major storms lasting only a few hours. Natural recharge to
ground water is further restricted due to impervious hard strata. Some of water,
which infiltrates during rainy period, is entrapped in the soil due to siltation resulting
slow percolation rate for recharging the ground water level. This water is ultimately
lost due to potential evapo-transpiration. Thus, any artificial recharge by indirect

Gas Plant (2x25000 Nm3/hr) at Village : Ghughra, Tehsil : Sihora, District : Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh

M/s. Gulf Ispat Ltd. 225 JM EnviroNet (P) Ltd
techniques should be such that most of the water stored on surface is put to ground
water within the shortest possible time to avoid losses.
As indicated earlier, hydro-geologically the area is composed of sandy, clay and for
artificial ground water recharge; open wells will be most feasible recharge
techniques. This will help in augmenting the groundwater storage around the tube
wells and open wells so that they can sustain in long term.
7.3.11.3 Methods of rainwater harvesting system
Following methods shall carry out for the rainwater harvesting:
1. Indirect rainwater Harvesting
Rainwater runoff available from the rooftop, paved and open land shall be used for
direct recharge to groundwater aquifer by constructing Recharge wells with desilting
and filter pits.
2. Direct rainwater Harvesting
Available Rainwater runoff shall be used for industrial purpose.
(A) Rooftop rainwater runoff: -
The industrial roofs are of RCC finished with cement sand mortar. Most of the water
can be collected with roof drains hence 85% rainwater can be available. About 15% of
water is lost in evaporation etc. The water is collected through rainwater drains from
rooftop. The roof should be finished to avoid percolation and should be cleaned every
year before rains. The roof top rainwater & surface runoff rainwater shall be collected
through existing rainwater drains
(B)Surface Runoff of Rainwater
The subsurface reservoirs are technically feasible alternative for storing surplus
monsoon runoff. Wide spectrums of techniques are in vogue to recharge ground
water reservoir. The artificial recharge techniques vary widely depending upon hydro
geological studies of the area. The detailed hydro geological studies were carried out
and it was found that water table of area is approximately 5.1-8.4m during study
period.
The maximum rate at which water can enter the soil at particular point depends upon
infiltration capacity. The infiltration capacity depends upon soil type, moisture
content, organic matter, vegetative cover, season, air entrapment, etc. The

infiltration and percolation capacity are closely related. The infiltration takes place
due to gravity but capillary forces divert gravity water.
The infiltration capacity of land formation is not suitable for surface percolation
system hence for recharge of ground water reservoir through injection well system is
proposed. This system will improve both quality & quantity of water.
Runoff coefficient for gently sloping open land area of Jaitarancan is taken as 15%.
Similarly for cemented area it has been taken as 70% and for Rooftop area it can be
taken as 85%.
Average runoff coefficient taken for the area is as under:
1. Average runoff coefficient for rooftop = 85%
2. Average runoff coefficient for Paved area = 70%
3. Average runoff coefficient for open land = 15%
7.3.11.4 Roof rainwater Runoff
The Industry has setup a cement plant and residential area for the staff. This area has
different buildings with RCC and V-shaped roof. To collect water from flat RCC roof,
drain pipes has been proposed. These drain pipes are proposed to connect to main
rainwater collection pipes, provided with collection chambers. In case of V-shaped
roof, rainwater is collected through gutters attached at the end of the roof and these
gutters are connected to rainwater pipes.
Average Rooftop Rainwater Runoff Available:
= A x Rf x Av Rc
Where,
A = Roof top area = 78000 Sq. m
Rf = Rainfall = 1.3mm (average)
Av Rc = Average runoff coefficient = 85%

Average Rainwater Runoff Available from open area:
= A x Rf x Av Rc
Where,
A = Open area = 127960Sq. m

7.3.11.6 Self Percolation
The Plant is using about 1500 KLD of water; out of which 150 KLD of water is utilized
for the green belt development / plantation. It is known that in normal condition,
about 30% of this water adds to the ground water through self-percolation. Hence,
ground water recharge through self-percolation is as under:

7.3.12 Precautions
� While carrying out roof top rainwater harvesting & surface runoff utilization works,
following precautions must be taken so that maximum benefits are derived.
� The roof tops of the buildings to be used for collecting rainwater must be cleaned
before the onset of first rainfall so that any dust, leaves, pollutants do not enter the
filtration tank. Grating must be used to trap debris or tree leaves before rainwater
enters the drainpipes.
� A steel wire mesh may be enveloped around the slotted pipe of injection well to
minimize the clogging of slots.
� The filter material must be washed with water before putting in the filtration tank as
these may be covered with silt or clay. Every year, before the onset of first monsoon,
the filter material must be taken out and washed and then put back in the filtration
tank and other recharge structures so that silt/clay deposited during the filtration
process of preceding year is removed and original filtration rate is achieved.

At the discharge point, dust is emitted due to free fall of product and wind carry
over. To control the dust emission from dropping/transfer points covered belt
conveyors will be provided for raw material transfer to avoid the dust emission.
2) Storage of raw materials
Dust will be generated here due to carryover by wind. However to avoid this,
material will be kept under covered shed. Proper water sprinkling will be done for
dust suppression in open yards & haul roads.
3) Transportation
Movement of heavy trucks/vehicles on the un-metalled road generates substantial
quantity of dust emission. This is due to the presence of dust over the road, which
is carried away by wind. To control the generation of dust, all the roads inside the
premises will be concreted. Regular sweeping of all the roads and floors will be
done by vacuum sweeper & it will be continued in doing so. Water spray through
tankers will be done on bare lands and haul roads. Green belt development along
the road side will trap and minimize the fugitive emission generate from the unit
operation.
4) Material Transfer Points:
Dust generates from all transfer points of conveyors. This will be controlled by
providing bag filters at all transfer points.

be purchased from the local Forest Department and plantation preparations will be
taken up before every monsoon. Suitable people having track record in such a field
are entrusted with the nursery job and plantation after care as well.
2) Trees growing to a height of 5m or more would be planted.
3) Plantation of trees should be undertaken in around the area in alternating rows to
prevent horizontal pollution dispersion.
4) Trees would be planted along roadsides, to arrest auto-exhaust and noise pollution,
and in such a way that there is no direct line of sight to the installation when
viewed from a point outside the foliage perimeter.
5) Since tree trunks are normally devoid of foliage (upto 3 m), it should be appropriate
to have shrubbery in form of such trees to give coverage to this portion.
6) Fast growing trees with thick perennial foliage would be grown, as it will take many
years for trees to grow to their full height.
In order to facilitate proper growth of vegetation, proper measures involving preparation
of seedbed with suitable amount of fertilizers and treatment with mulches will be taken.
Vegetation covers in and around the plant workings generally helps in:
� Stabilizing erodible slopes to minimize pollution.
� Control of dust.
� Enhancement of aesthetic value.
� Maximizing evapo -transpiration, which helps minimizing run off.
� Reducing noise.
Characters of plants considered necessary for effecting absorption of pollutants gases &
removal of dust particles are as follows:

Plantation to Reduce Noise Pollution
Trees having thick and fleshy leaves with petioles flexible and capacity to withstand
vibration are suitable. Heavier branches and trunk of the trees also deflect or refract the
sound waves. The density, height and width are critical factors in designing an adequate
noise screen plantation. Combination of trees and shrubs together with suitable
landforms and design appears to be the best system for combating noise pollution. In
general, more than 65 decibels noise produced from factory is unhealthy to living world.
The following species are suggested to reduce noise pollution:
