The ambient air quality monitoring stations have been fixed covering both the mmes. The monitoring is being done on fortnightly basis as Environment (Protection) Amendments Rule 2000 and has been enclosed from the analysis report. It IS seen that the recorded values of different parameters viz SPM, RPM SOx & NOx are well within the permissible limits in both the quarters.

The mine pumped out water is entirely used in house and there is no effluent being discharged into any receiving surface water body. Water quality IS monitored on fortnightly basis by CMPDIL, RI-IV, Nagpur. The report of QE December, 16/March,201 7 is enclosed herewith. It may be worthwhile to mention here that in U G working sufficient storage (sump) has been provided where strata water gets accumulated which allows significant setting time for settlement of suspended particles.
