23. Details of fugitive emissions during mining operations*
The limestone is transported by covered conveyor system from the limestone crusher unit to the plant, having dust suppression system; hence fugitive dust is not envisaged. Water sprinklers will be installed. The dust on haul roads will be suppressed through regular water sprinkling. The fugitive emission generated during drilling is controlled by using dust collectors with vacuum suction to the drilling machines. Dust generation is reduced by using sharp teeth for shovels. The fugitive emissions from mine will be controlled by means of sprinklers and development of greenbelt, which will also serve to arrest the soil erosion. With the proposed control measures, the fugitive emissions will be insignificant in terms of their impact on environment. To control the fugitive emissions, the following measures are taken:
Q-14A
� An effective dust suppression system installed at limestone handling system in the proposed mine;
� The sprinkling of water to be done along the internal roads in the ML area in order to control the dust arising due to the movement of vehicular traffic;
� All the workers and officers working inside the mine lease area are to be provided with disposable dust masks;
� Thick greenbelt is planned around the mine lease area to arrest the fugitive emissions; and

28. Ground water potential of the study area
There are no wells or tube wells in the lease area, so it was not possible to get pre and post monsoon water levels in the lease area. Minimum and maximum depth of water table based on observations from the nearby wells and water bodies is 30 m (370 MSL) to 45 m (355 MSL) from general ground level (400 MSL). During the plan period workings are proposed upto 390 m RL and from general observations the ground water level is below 350 m RL.

SCOPING OF EIA
1.0 Introduction
It is very important to understand the present environmental status of the study area before assessment of the impact of the proposed project on the surrounding area. This helps to choose the right approach in conducting the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study, which can address the problems associated with the project. The steps followed in the preparation of EIA are:
1. Review of existing data base since it is an operating mines 2. Review of literature related to project 3. Study of technical aspect of project and identification of pollution sources 4. Determination of baseline conditions 5. Impact prediction based on scientific and mathematical tools 6. Preparation of EMP
1.1 Basis of Scoping
The scoping of EIA has been done considering the pollution in the area and potential polluting sources of the proposed project. In this mining project, the pollution related to air quality, water quality and noise has been considered to be critical attributes.
1.2 Present Environmental Status
There is a cement plant and other mines within 10 km radial distance from the mine lease boundary. There are no ecological sensitive areas like bird sanctuaries, wild life sanctuaries, biosphere etc and archaeological monuments within 10-km radial distance from the mine lease boundary.
1.3 The Sources of Pollution from Mines
The main sources of pollution from mine are air pollution, water and noise pollution. � Air Pollution
The sources contributing to air pollution in the mine activities are:
° Blasting ° Drilling ° Excavation ° Loading and unloading of ore and overburden ° Transportation of ore and overburden on the haul roads
The above sources mainly contribute to the suspended and Respirable particulate matter. The contribution to the gaseous pollutants is limited. � Water Pollution No process wastewater generation is envisaged in the mine operation. � Noise Pollution
The mining activities are the main sources of noise generation that may contribute to the ambient noise level.
Q-63
1.4 Scoping of EIA
The outline of the EIA was prepared based on the existing environmental status of the study area and proposed pollution emissions from the mining project.
As per the ministry guidelines, buffer zone radial distance from the mine lease boundary and the area falling within the mine lease area is considered as core zone. The primary data related to various attributes were generated in buffer as well as core area. The critical environmental attributes, which need to be monitored, are ambient air quality, water quality, noise monitoring and ground vibration.
The environmental attributes considered for monitoring are;
1. Meteorology
Meteorological parameters like wind speed, wind direction, temperature and rainfall, which are required in prediction of air quality impacts are recorded at site.
2. Ambient Air Quality
The mining activity mainly contributes to PM as well as RPM of the ambient air quality and these were considered for monitoring to assess the present concentration in the ambient air quality. The parameters considered for the assessment of ambient air quality are:
• Particulate Matter; • Respirable Particulate Matter; • Sulphur dioxide; • Oxides of Nitrogen; and • Carbon monoxide (CO)
3. Water Quality
The mine operates on zero discharge condition and no wastewater is discharged outside the premises of mine. The water quality at ten locations in and around the mine area is considered. The seasonal water samples are collected to understand the seasonal changes in the water quality. The water quality are compared with IS 10500.
4. Noise Levels
The mining activities contribute to increase in noise levels. To assess the impact of noise on the surrounding villages, noise levels need to be monitored at 8 locations falling under different land use categories.
5. Geology & Hydro-geology
The data related to geology and hydro-geology is required to understand the mine water discharge due to mining activity. The available data from Ground Water Board is collected in this regard.
6. Environmental Management Plan
The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is required to be prepared for the systematic monitoring of environmental attributes.
7. Risk Assessment & Disaster Management Plan (DMP)
The Risk Assessment and Disaster Management Plan are required to be prepared in case of emergency.
