CHAPTER – IV GEOLOGY, EXPLORATION & RESERVE

3.1 PHYSIOGRAPHY

The Lease area represents small hillock of stone covered with soil. The highest contour

is found 327 m. from mean Sea Level and the lowest contour is of 315 m from MSL.

There is no settlement within the area. There is no vegetation in the area. The

proposed area is almost flat terrain. Stone is exposed in the area applied for proposed

project. No other rock is exposed. No habitation or public infrastructure located in the

proposed area. No PWD road, village road, and HT Line passing through the lease

area. Layout Plan Plate is attached.

3.2 TOPOGRAPHY:-

Garhwa district is highly rugged topography with thick green forest all over the area.

The hills are widely scattered and rise up to 1164 m above MSL in the Southern of the

district. Average height of the hills varies from 700 – 900 mts. The hill which is called

Gulgulpath -3819 ft. is said to be second highest peak in Jharkhand situated in

Bhandriya Block of the district. There are also low land in Northern and Western part

of the district which is suitable for agricultural purposes. The elevation of plain varies

from 250 – 500 mtr. The slope of the district is towards north.

3.3 GEOLOGY

The geological formation of the Garhwa district comprise mainly rocks of Archaean,

Vindhyan and Gondwana ages, the last cut by dykes of Deccan trap age. The Archaean

rocks include both schist’s of Dharwar age and gneisses and granites. The schist’s,

mainly horn-blendic and biotitic, are the oldest rocks of the area and occur as parallel

and lenticular bands in the gneisses. The schist’s are intruded by epidiorites,

amphibolites, and gneisses. The gneisses and granites are, however, the most

predominant rocks of the district as in other parts of Chotanagpur. They give rise to

prominent groups of hills in the northern and southern parts of the district. The

District has long been famous as the home of the well-known ruby mica and has

several large coalfields. The portion of the Jharkhand mica belt and the coalfields that

lie in this district are economically the most important.

The main geological formations of the district are as follows:

(1) Recent deposits of alluvium and laterite.

(2) Post Gondwana Dykes of basic.

Cretaceo-Eocene, Igneous rocks

Dykes of basic Jurassic and Triassic

And Ultra bas

ic assic. Igneous rocks.

Upper Panchet or Lower Jurassic

Mahadevas Lower Triassic




Panchet series. Upper Permian

Raniganj series

Ironstone shales

(3) Gondwana Middle Permian system.

Lower Damodar Barakar Series

Lower Permian with Karharbari stage.

Upper Talchir series carboniferous with glacial boulder bed.

(4) Basic intrusives, Meta dolerite, amphibolite and epidiorites

(5) Mica pegmatites and granite pegmaties

(6) Chotanagpur granite gneiss.

(7) Dharwars-Crushed or fault breccia, garnet-amphibole schist, Granulites, schists,

phyllites, quartzites etc.

3.4 Soil Classification

There is a soil variation in the district. The soils of the district can broadly be grouped

into three classes:-

a) Heavy Clays: This soil is locally known as Kewal Soil. This soil becomes hard when

dry and sticky when wet. This soil can hold moisture for a longer period and as a result

considered to be favourable for Rabi crops.

b) Sandy Soil: This soil is locally known as Balsundar and consists of course sand to a

large extent and facilitates production of Paddy and vegetables.

c) Loamy Soil: This soil is locally name as Dorasa and consists of sand and clay. This soil

is suitable for growing sugarcanes.

4.1 Hydrogeology:

The district is underlined by hard rock foundations if belonging to the Precambrian

period and recent alluvium along river banks. The geology and structure of underlying

basement controls the occurrence and movement of ground water. The ground water

occurs in secondary porosity like joints, fractures and the extent of inter connection

with them. Ground water occurs in the district within weathered mantle. Limited

volume in alluvial deposits occurring along the Sone and Kanahar rivers. The thickness

of weathered mantle varies from 5 to 16 mbgl in general. The source of Ground Water

recharge is entirely by rainfall. The rivers of the district are effluent which do not

contain appreciable amount of water during lean period to recharge Ground water at

lower reaches. Major part of the rain water goes as run off.

3.5 Climatic Condition (District-GARHWA)

The climate of the district is humid and sub tropical. The year can be divided in to

three main seasons, the winter season from November to March, the summer season

is from March to May and Monsoon season from June to September; October is a

transitional month between Monsoon and winter seasons. December and January are

the coolest months. In winter the temperature goes down to 3°C. By March

temperature begin to rise steadily. In May and early part of June the maximum




temperature can be as high as 47°C on individual days. Humidity is generally normal in

this district, except in Monsoon months.

3.6 LITHO LOGY

south of the Son there are several scattered and narrow outcrops of Vindhyan rocks

belonging mainly to the Basal, Porcellanite and Kheinjua stages. The rocks of the

Porcellanite group are indurated and silicified volcanic ashes. Towards the north-

western part of the district there is a large outcrop of the Lower Vindhyan strata,

south of the Son, which appears to be a part of the main Lower Vindhyan formation of

the Rohtas plateau north of the Son. Bhaunathpur is situated in the eastern part of the

main outcrop. There is a small outlier about 5 miles south-east if Hussainabad near

Japla. The shales and the limestone of the Kheinjua group are mostly concealed by

alluvium along the bank of the Son. South of this at a distance of two miles is a place

called Kalapahar? The Kalapahar are a group of very conspicuous and remarkable

done hills formed of an acid volcanic rock, rhyolitic composition.

3.3 Local Geology:

Large scale mapping on 1:1000 scales has been carried out in and around the area of

Stoneic rock deposit; it comprises only one type of deposit of Stonseic rock. Then the

area was gridded according to square pattern at an interval of 50 m. Effort was made

to plot each and every characteristics of rock formation. A contour plan having 1.0 m

interval has been also prepared, showing relative elevation and depression from

ground level. In this way a geological map is prepared (Plate No. 4).

The geological sequence of rock type of the area is as follows:-

Alluvial Soil

Detrital soil with talus

……………………………...Unconformity ………………………………

Stone.

3.4 Method of Estimation of Reserves:

Standard Cross Sectional Area method.

a) Sections have been drawn from boundary to boundary across the Lease area

considering the litho units in the area. The sectional area has been estimated on the

basis of the cross sections.

b) Length of influence have been measured the by taking half of the section interval

distance on both side of each section.

c) Bulk density 2.7 has been taken.

3.5 RESOURCES:

Resources have been calculated in two categories such as Measures Mineral Resources &

Indicated Mineral Resources.

Up to an average depth of 45 meters is taken as Measured Mineral Resource category on

the basis of a drill hole drilled in middle of applied area, Stone exposed on the quarry face,

exposure on hill top and slope as well as from the nala cutting section around the lease




area and further up to a depth of 5 meters is taken as Indicated Mineral Resource

category.

Mineable reserve is based on the mineable part of the reserve. Mineable Stone reserve

has been calculated from the geological plan in the area considering the Stone which is

not mineable in view of blocked zone in ML boundary and ultimate pit limit as calculated

from the Geological plan & sections.

MEASURED MINERAL RESOURCE CATEGORY

The measured mineral resources as arrived have been divided in prima facie in mineable

and non mineable parts as follows. The detail of calculation has been shown below.

Probable (122) 92858 Pre-Feasibility Mineral Resources (222) 597399

TOTAL 1895248 1317476

Anticipated life of the mine:

The lease is applied for ten years and the mineable proved reserve would be 1802390

tones and mineable probable reserve would be 92858 tones thus total reserve available

for mining is 1895248 tones. The production of Stone in next ten years will be 1857343

Tones/Years (considering recovery percentage 98%). The mineable reserve will be worked

out in first five years @185738 tons/Year(Total 928689 tones in first 5 year).Rest

(1857343-928689 = 928654) reserve will be worked out in next five years @ 185731

tones/Year. So life of the mine will be 10 years.

3.6 Feasibility study based on the geographical conditions and operating conditions:

Infrastructure: Road and railways and is near to the working site. Manpower is cheaply

available.

Geology:

Geologically the area is batholithic deposit, and Stone are found in nature in mass form.

The deposit with grade as per requirement by the consuming party.

Legal matters:

Leasehold area is valid as per the rule of MCR 1960 & JMMCR 2007(A). There will be no

displacement. Land will be acquired as per the rule.

Operating:

The Applicant has all the mining equipments used for the scientific mining. The mine is

eco-friendly.

Economically the ore is mineable as compared to overburden thickness. The ore is also

economically viable for its consuming party.

Thus the economic, feasible and geology axis are categorized as – 1.

Thus the entire mineable reserve as estimated is categorized as 111




Economically ore is mineable as compared to overburden thickness and it is viable for the

captive plant and is categorized as – 1.

Feasibility study of the deposit is yet to establish. So, it is categorized as -2

Geologically the area is potential but the deposit in the depth is yet to establish with

grade as per the requirement by the captive plant and it is categorized as -2.

CHAPTER – V

MINING

4.1 The entire area is highly potential area. The work will be started from the South-Eastern

part and gradually extended towards North-Western direction. The mound is gently sloping

towards North-Western direction. Working of the next five years will be started from the

Eastern part and extended towards further depth. The benching system 6 m X 6 m will be

practiced in the area, in accordance with the provisions of Metalliferous Mines Regulations,

1961. Details of advancement and formation of benches are shown in Development Plan &

Sections (Plates: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) in the scale 1:2000.

4.2 Mining Strategy:

Since the deposit in this area is massive in nature, it is proposed to carry out only opencast

mechanized mining (OTFM) for this plan period. The operations like drilling of shot hole,

sorting of ore and breaking at the size will be done in semi mechanized method to deploy

100 mm & 35 mm dia Wagon Drill & jack hammer Drill to drill and blast holes having burden

and spacing of 3 m x 3.5 m in stagger grid pattern. Muffle blasting will be adopted as

precautionary measure.

To avoid fly rock problem at the edge of hill light charged muffle blasting shall be under taken

and equipment’s like pick axe, crowbar, shovels, pans etc are used for the safe mining.

4.3 Production Targets:

Year wise Production of Stone from the area has been calculated by cross sectional method.

The cross sectional area has been multiplied by the advancement to be worked in each bench

as length of influence to get the bulk volume. Thus the value obtained has been multiplied by

tonnage factor to get the actual production of ore in each bench. Year wise calculation has

been made separately and the detail of year wise development of the quarry is given in

Tables below. Thus average annual production of the mine is 185738 tones/yrs (approx.).

4.4 Bench Design and Formation: Since the mine will be worked in IN SEMI MECHANIZED METHOD

working pattern during this plan period of 10years, bench height will be restricted to the 6 m

X 6 m as per the production requirement, available machinery, local geology of the area and

accordance with MMR, 1961.

4.5 Bench Development over the plan period:

The work will be started from the South-Eastern part and gradually extended towards North-

Western direction. The mould is gently sloping towards North-Western direction. Working of

the next five years will be started from the South-Eastern part and extended towards further

depth. The benching system 6 m X 6 m of Stone will be practiced in the area, in accordance

with the provisions of Metalifferous Mines Regulations, 1961. Details of advancement and

formation of benches are shown in Development Plan & Sections (Plates: 6, 7, 8, 9 & 10) in

the scale 1:2000.

1st year: During this year working will be started from the South-Eastern side with three

benches of 6 m X 6 m of Stone, in dimension with RL 327 m - 315 m. For haulage of the Stone

permanent ramp will be maintained at the quarry face. During quarry advancement tolerable

amount of weathered waste and gritty soil will be generated and this will be temporally

dumped at the North-Western part of the area with suitable precaution.

4.6 Notes on Conceptual Plan for the Lease Period:

4.6.1. Mining will be carried out in semi mechanized method with the help of Wagon Drill &

Wagon Drill & jack hammer drilling & blasting.

In this connection guidelines issued by Directorate General of Mine’s Safety & various

circulars will be adopted.

While preparing a conceptual mining plan for the Stone Lease, the following points and

precepts have been kept in view:

The lease hasbeen granted till 31.03.2020 by the state govt. of Jharkhand. During this 3

years plan period the area will be worked out except 7.5 safety barrier,. The infrastructure

will be shifted to a safer place during the course of conceptual plan period. As there is

negligible over burden so no question of dump or backfill. Whatever overburden will be

removed will be used for haul road dressing. The voids so left will be filled with rain water and

shall be treated as water reservoir.

CHAPTER – VI

BLASTING DRILLING & MACHINERY EQUIPMENTS

DRILLING AND BLASTING PARAMETERS

Blasting in open cast mines is of utmost importance not only because it has to be compatible

with the shovel/loader but also preferably as will obviate the necessity of secondary blasting

which is known to be very costly. The feed size for the crusher has to be low below 600 mm.

because it is important that variations of the hardness of the formation don’t result in waste

use of explosive with unbalanced product size. It is also important that fines generated are

kept as low as possible.

The distribution of charge in the blast hole is as follows:

Bottom charge with booster (slurry explosives) and column charge also by low speed slurry

explosives will be charged in the ratio of 15:85 respectively.

Considering the nature of strata / deposit and height of the bench deck charging shall be

carried out in a following manner:

a) Deck charging with drill cutting.

b) Air decking.

Pattern and Sequence of firing

The normal pattern of holes with 3.0 m burden, 3.5 m spacing will provide the best results.

The pattern of delay blasting in conjunction with use of detonating fuse will take into account

existence of any natural cleavage layout and sequence of firing of the blast – holes pattern

proposed for blasting.

Depending upon the composition of the formations, some degree of deck-loading may have

to be resorted for better fragmentation.

TYPES OF EXPLOSIVES TO BE USED.

Nitro Mixture explosives/power gel are used for blasting. Deck charging is used wherever

necessary.

POWDER FACTOR

It is hoped that powder factor of over 8 tones per kg. of explosives is achieved.

STORAGE OF EXPLOSIVES

Storage of explosive at the mine site is not required as a vendor having valid license has been

assigned to do the blasting in the mine as required during mining operation.

Drilling and blasting operations will be carried on strictly as per the provision of MMR, 1961

under the strict supervision of qualified persons. For storage and issue of explosives, the

relevant provisions of Indian Explosives Rules, 1983 will be followed.

Blasting time is generally fixed at lunch interval or after the working shift-taking. All required

precautions, like marking the danger zone with red flags, use of warning signals and providing

blasting shelters etc.

Drilling and Blasting:




Although the mine is very far away from any population, precaution will be taken to minimize

nuisance caused by blasting. All necessary safety precaution is being taken in accordance with

the explosive act. Precaution are also taken as per permission given under MMR 1961 106(2)

(b) by Director of Mines Safety for deep hole drilling & Blasting and usage of heavy earth

moving machinery.

Vibration:

In order to minimize vibration the precautions shall be taken:

1. Blast holes shall be initiated by non-electric (NONEL) down-the-hole delay detonators.

2. Optimum charge per delay shall be kept as low as possible.

3. The depth of the hole is normally 6 m, which includes about 0.6 meter of sub grade

drilling. i.e., about 10% of the depth of hole. The diameter of the hole shall be kept at

100 mm.

4. Adoption of two row blasting and V pattern of firing.

5. The firing of maximum possible no. of blast holes towards free face.

6. Use of delay detonators between the holes and rows of blasting.

Noise:

The following steps have been taken to minimize pollution by noise.

1. Blasting is well designed & blasted periodically rather than couple of hastily

unplanned blast daily. All the explosive and the NONEL detonator is put within the

blast hole & instead of detonating fuse, NONEL trunk-line-delay-detonator is used

for trunk line connections.

2. Blasting shall be so planned as to minimize boulders, so that secondary blasting

shall be reduced.

3. Green belt with trees of varying height shall be developed around the quarry to

absorb the blast noise & reduce noise.

Fly rocks:

While blasting, if the holes shall be not properly designed and charged, the main thrust of the

blast will be upwards and instead of fragmenting the rock, there will be an outward surge

resulting in rock fragments flying. In order to prevent fly rocks:

1. Stemming length shall be kept equal to the burden.

2. Inter-row delay shall be selected in such a way each row pushes its burden

forward rather than in an upward direction.

3. Toe formation shall be avoided by proper design of drilling and blasting as toe

whole blasting involves increased risk of fly rocks.

4. To avoid fly rock problem at the edge of hill light charged muffle blasting shall

be under taken.

CHAPTER – VIII

USE OF MINERALS

7.1. Use of Stone

The run of mine (ROM) Stone will be sized in crusher and after screening will be sold in

market as stone chips in building construction and also in road projects. The entire mined

materials are used as ballast and chips in construction activity like road construction,

railways, buildings construction etc.

The stone boulders produced from the mine will be transported to Lessee own crusher &

screen plant of capacity 100 TPH which is proposed to install. The finished product will be

produced of different sizes as per the requirement of road and civil consumers




CHAPTER – IX MINERAL PROCESSING

8.1 Mineral Processing:

In, Stone mining there is no need for mineral processing or mineral beneficiation to upgrade

the ROM Production. Here, mined out Stone is directly used in different forms ranging from

boulders to aggregates. The stone boulders produced from the mine will be transported to

the Lessee own crusher & screen plant of capacity 100 TPH which is proposed to inside the

lease area. The finished product will be produced of different sizes as per the requirement of

road and civil consumers.

The existing pattern of utilization of leasehold area has been indicated in table no -09.01.

TABLE NO 09.01

EXISTING LAND USE PATTERN

09.01.02 Water Regime

There is no existence of river or nallah passing through the lease area. Precipitated water

drains away along the natural slope of the deposit and its entry to the mining area has

been controlled by providing garlands drain and channels with low height humps of

weathered rocks and soil/ concrete mixture

09.01.03 Air Quality

With an average production rate of 619 t/day, the mining operations like drilling, blasting,

and transporting will not produced any adverse impact on the air quality of the mining

area. To mitigate the likely impact on air quality due to fugitive’s dust, regular water

spraying is being done over mine faces and roads.

09.01.04 Flora and Fauna

Flora

The area falling within the leasehold and adjoining places covering around 500 m or so do

not have vegetative cover of worth mentioning.

Scattered growth of trees can be spotted in and around the site.

Fauna

Domestic animals like cow, buffalo, goat, cat, dog etc are very common sight in the

locality. Existence of wild animal of any type has not been reported.

09.04.7 Climatic Conditions

The general climate of Garhwa district prevails in the area of mining:-

In winter temperature varies from 2 0C to 8 0C. The month of December is the coldest with

temperature dipping to almost 2 0C degree to 7 0C.

Summer days are generally hot, the month of May being the hottest. The temperature

ranges from 35 0C to 46 0C.

The district receives an annual rainfall between 1200- 1400 mm.

09.01.06 Human Settlements

There is no human habitat within 500 m of the leasehold. However, there are few




Villages located within 1 to 1.5 Km away from lease hold area.

09.01.07 Public Buildings, Places of worship and monuments

There is no public building, historical monuments etc within buffer zone of mine

Site.

09.01.08 Does Area (Partly or fully) falls under notified area under notified water

prevention and control of pollution act 1974.

The area does not fall under the Act. The forest boundary being close to the mine

leasehold a barrier of 250 m has been left between forest boundary and mine boundary

as required by rule.

09.02 Environmental Impact Assessment

09.02.01 Relief and Landscape Alteration

Whether it is hilly type of deposit or flat deposit, mining of Stone does induce change to

some extent in land profile. This however depends on the method of mining, scale of

mining etc

The mining will be carried out up to 15.5 m below surface level in its ultimate stage.

However, during first five year period, the quarry will reach 169 m RL.

The areas to be effected have already been indicated in table no 04.02

For facilities like overburden and waste dumping and locating office complex outside the

lease boundary, the Applicant has entered in to understanding with the land owners.

09.02.02 Water Regime and Quality

There is no water body or nallah or drainage channel over the lease hold area. There is no

existence of such water source within close proximity of leasehold (within 500

m).Precipitated water finds its own drainage path as surface run off during monsoon and

also led away through garland drains and channels.

The existing pattern of rain water discharge will be maintained by providing garland drain

all along the lease boundary particularly in the higher elevations.

The water quality due to water flowing through mine working will be maintained by

collecting water accumulated if any on mine benches/floors during rainy season in sumps

and then discharge the same by pumps. However, before discharging the mine water into

natural relief, sufficient time will be allowed for settling of sediments mixed with mine

water.

09.02.03 Air Pollution

Scale of mining is not much. The dust generated due to drilling, blasting, transport of

Stone and wastes can give rise to airborne dust particles which however will be for limited

period and area.

09.02.04 Noise and Blasting

Drilling and blasting operation give rise to slightly higher decibel level but within a very

limited area covering drilling and blasting sites.

Sound and vibration generated due to blasting operation travels, some distance from

blasting site depending upon explosives quantity. Both the blasting round and total




quantity explosives to be used at a time will be not much and will have limited impact for

short duration

09.02.05 Socio – Economic

Mining operation or any industrial activity in a locality particularly in rural area provides

employment opportunity to local people.

The proposed mining project is likely to open not only employment opportunity in a

modest way but also help in development of local road, education facilities etc.

09.03 ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

09.03.01 Relief and Landscape Alteration

The void created by Stone mining cannot be partially filled up by the waste materials.

When the entire deposit is worked out, even then the quantity of overburden materials

will be very less, to undertake backfilling. Therefore, when the entire deposit is depleted

in the long run, the mined out area can serve as water body.

There will be no impact on landscape as such. This will be rather improved with the

planned way of green belt development programme described later as the area in and

around the mine is practically a barren field.

09.03.02 Dust Suppression

To deal with dust problem (fugitive dust) the corrective measures suggested are

Regular water spraying in mine road and mine benches.

Operators will be provided with face masks

Green belt development.

09.03.03 Noise pollution

To reduce noise pollution following measures will be taken.

Regular maintenance of machineries.

Issuing ear plugs to the operators.

09.03.04 Water Tables and water contamination

The quarry working will go down by about 15.5 m compared to surface level during the

plan period and as such there may be some seepage of water from adjoining strata.

The Stone mining does not give rise to toxic or hazardous elements. Therefore there will

no water contamination in and around the mining project.

09.03.05 Afforestation

To maintain and improve the ecological status as well as create aesthetically beautiful

surrounding, the some of the identified areas within the proposed mining lease hold will

be taken up for gradual plantation – programme. Bulk of this area will comprise of the

stretch available over the 7.5 m wide safety barrier.

Any vacant place like in and around office building, local school premises, side of roads etc

can be planted with the help of villagers / Panchayat body.

A tentative year- wise afforestation program has been indicated, in Table no 09.02

10.02.04 Mineral Beneficiation: Describe in brief the mineral beneficiation practice if any indicating the process description in short.

Indicate discharge details of any tailing/ madding and their disposal/ utilization practices followed.

The Run-of-mine materials will be transported to crusher units owned by own/different

owners and located at about 15 km away from the mine site for sizing and after that it is

proposed to install a screen machine just 200 m outside the mines site. Normally the ROM

is screened to obtain three size fractions e.g. above 24 mm, 24 to 12 mm, and below 12 to

6 mm as per marketability.

10.03 Review of Implementation of Mining Plan/ Scheme of Mining including Five years

progressive closer plan up to the final closer of mine: Indicate in detail the various proposals committed with special emphasis on the proposals for protection

of environment in the approved mining plan/ scheme of mining including five years progressive closure

plan up to the closure of mine vies-a-vies their status of implementation. Highlight the area, which might

have been contaminated by mining activities and type of contaminants that might be found there. The

reasons of deviation from proposal if any with corrective measures taken should also be given.

The Applicant is going to start mining operation as per the mining plan and during the

course of mining operation the Applicant will adopt measures for protection of

environment as per the mining plan.

The Applicant will make available the status of implementation including deviation, if any

from mining plan with reasons for such deviation.

10.04 Closure Plan




Describe the proposals to be implemented for reclamation and rehabilitation of mined – out land

including the manner in which the actual site of the pit will be restored for future use.

The proposal should be supported with relevant plans and selections depicting the method of land

restoration / reclamation/ rehabilitation.

During plan period, Stone will be mined both in lateral and depth extension. The working

will reach up to 15 m level. After 5 years, the remaining, part of leasehold will be mined.

The mine working will go to further deeper horizon. The partial back filling operation can

be planned only after almost entire leasehold is worked out. That is a period after 5 years

or so. Therefore it is better to develop the quarry void as water reservoir. Moreover, the

quantity of overburden materials is very nominal for back filling purpose. Afforestation

work will be taken up along the lease boundary, the spacing between two saplings kept at

about 2 m or so. At least 50 no’s tree saplings will be planted in each of five years period.

10.04.02 Water Quality Management




Describe in detail the existing surface and ground water bodies available in the lease area and the measures

to be taken for protection of the same including control of erosion, sedimentation, siltation, and water

treatment, diversion of water courses if any. Measures for protection of contamination of ground water from

leaching etc. Quantity and quality of surface water bodies should also be indicated and corrective the

permissible limits should also be described. Report of hydrological study carried out in the area may also be

submitted. The water balance chart should be given. If there is potential of Acid Mine Drainage the treatment

method should be given.

There is no existence of surface water bodies like river, stream, nallah, ponds etc within the

proposed lease hold area. To prevent entry of run-off water in the mining area, provision of

garland drain all along the surface level of the area has been envisaged. This will prevent

sediment loaded mine water to flow down the natural drainage system.

So there will be no possibility of contamination, after mining activity starts. Monitoring for

water quality will be done regularly as per monitoring schedule. There is no possibility of acid

drainage as the Stone materials do not contain such ingredients.

10.04.03 Air Quality Management

Describe the existing air quality status. The corrective measure to be taken for prevention of

pollution of air should be described.

Presently there is small scale mining activity in the deposit and with no impact on ambient air

quality. During further mining almost same number and type of machineries like tipper and

trucks etc will be used. As there is no Blasting so there will be no any dust cloud appears in

the cloud. Loading and transporting of Stone and overburden materials makes dust airborne

but within limited reach.

To reduce air pollution on account of fugitive dust, the following measures will be adopted:-

(i) Regular water spraying on mine working and mine road.

(ii) Waste dumps top can be sprinkled with water to keep wet.

(iii) Afforestation to create green belt.

Ambient air quality will be monitored for one year in three seasons (excluding rainy

season). In each season, monitoring will be carried out for one month on two days in a

week with three 8- hourly samples being collected each day. During five years plan period,

the ambient air quality will be monitored for the mine each quarter. In each season,

monitoring will be carried out for one month on two days in a week with three eight

hourly samples in each day as per norms lay down by Indian Bureau of Mines (IBM).

10.04.04 Noise Pollution

Machines like tippers & trucks may generate noise level above allowable decibel level but

both for limited period and area. There will be no blasting.

Noise levels can be reduced by:

(i) Choosing proper equipment

(ii) Following regular maintenance schedule

(iii) Developing green belt

10.04.05 Waste Management: Describe the type, quality and quantity of over burden, mineral rejects etc available and their disposal

practices. If no utilization of waste material is proposed, the manner in which the waste material will be




stabilized should be described. The protective measures to be taken for prevention of siltation, erosion and

dust generation from these waste materials should also be described. If toxic and hazardous elements present

in the waste material, the protective measures to be taken for presentation of their dispersal in the air

environment, leaching in the surface and ground water etc should be described.

Nature of Overburden and Waste and its Disposal

As there is no over burden so no need for overburden management.

10.04.05 Top Soil Management

The top soil cover is almost nil. Therefore, the provision of top soil dump has been not made.

10.04.06 Tailing Dam Management The step to be taken for protection and stability of tailing dam, stability of tailing materials and its utilization,

periodic desalting measures to prevent water pollution from tailings etc, arrangement for surplus water

overflow along with detail design, structural stability studies the embankment and ground water contaminant

if any should be described: Not applicable for the project.

10.04.07 Infrastructure The existing infrastructural facilities available such as roads, aerial ropeways, conveyor belts, railways, power

lines, buildings and structures, water treatment plant, transport, water supply sources in the area etc and

their future utilization should be evaluated on case to case basis. If retained, the measures to be taken for

their physical stability and maintenance should be described. If decommissioning proposed, dismantling and

disposal of building structures, support facilities and other infrastructures like electric transmission line, water

line, gas pipe line, underground tanks, transportation infrastructures like road, rail bridges, culverts etc,

electrical equipment and infrastructure like electrical cables , transformers to be described in connection with

restoring land for further use.

The Applicant will have a site office outside the leasehold area along with rest shelter, and

first-aid station etc as required under statutory provision i.e. Mines Act, Regulations, rules

etc. Road developed within quarry working will be joined to main approach road in the long

run. At the time of final closure, roads , office buildings , any residential blocks will be handed

over to the local Panchayat after due deliberations.

10.04.08 Disposal of Mining Machinery The de-commissioning of mining machineries and there possible post mining utilization, if any to be described.

If the mine machineries have sufficient working life, these may be used by the Applicants in

there other mines, if any. Otherwise these can be auctioned/ sold to interested parties.

10.04.09 Safety and Security Explain the safety measures implemented to prevent access to surface openings, excavations etc and

arrangement proposed during the mine abandonment plan and up to the site being opened for general public

should be described.

The working benches will be maintained with minimum safety zone. Provisions as per MMR

1916 will be followed (Regulation 106 of MMR 1916) DGMS approved safety shoes and

helmets will be provided to all workmen. Labourers will be provided with face mask and ear

muffs. Periodically, workmen will be medically examined for prevention of silicosis. There is

no proposal to close the mine during the plan period. At the time of final closure of the mine,

the abandoned pits will be fenced properly with display of signboard. Barbed wire fencing will

be erected specifications of which shall comply with provisions suggested in DGMS circulars.

Till such time, the infrastructure i.e. offices, sheds etc are handed over to local authority/




forest authority/ village panchayat, security guards will be engaged for security and safety of

office,etc.

10.04.10 Disaster Management and Risk Assessment This should deal with action plan for high risk accidents like landslides, subsidence, flood, and inundation in

underground mines, fires, seismic activities, tailing dam failure etc. The capability of lease to meet such

eventualities and the assistance to be required from the local authority should also be described.

The working area is not very large either in length or width extension. Though blasting

operation will be carried out, the manner, scale, and sequence of blasting round are not likely

to trigger any landslides etc. Vibration intensity of blasting waves will be of localized nature.

High risk factor such as seismic activity, subsidence, flood, fire, tailing dam failure is not

anticipated during the proposed ten years plan period. As such emergency plan for quick

evacuation, fire fighting and similar protective measures have not been drawn up for this

project.

10.04.11 Care and Maintenance during Temporary Discontinuance For every five yearly review (as given in the mining scheme), and emergency plan for the situation of

temporary discontinuance or incomplete programme due to court order or due to statutory requirements or

any other unforeseen circumstances and monitoring of status of unplanned discontinues mining operation

expected to re-open in near future This should detail item wise status monitoring and maintenance with

periodicity and objective. If due to unforeseen reason the mine need to be shut down temporarily, then

adequate arrangement will be made to protect staff, workers, and assets.

Notice of temporary discount in prescribed from D1 under rule 24 of MCDR 1988 will be send

to concerned authorities of India Bureau of Mines (IBM) as well as in prescribed from under

MMR 1961 to the DGMS authority , concerned state govt. and concerned labour department

within stipulated time. Security guards will be posted to take care of infrastructure facilities in

case of any temporary discontinuation of infrastructure facilities.

10.05 Economic Repercussions of closure of mine and manpower retrenchments

Man power retrenchment, compensation to be given, socio- economic repercussions, and remedial measures

consequent to closure of mines should be described, specially stating the following:

As the mine will continue to be operated beyond plan period, there will be no retrenchment

of manpower.

10.05.01 Number of local resident employed in the mine, status of continuation family occupation

and scope of joining the occupation back.

The mining project will provide employment to about 35 person mostly residents of nearby

villages. The main occupation of their family is agriculture. In case of final closer, employees

can revert back to their family occupation. This is still the occupation of family members. The

employees will receive compensatory package by the management as per statutory provision.

10.05.02 Compensation given or to be given to the employees connected with sustenance of himself

and their family members: Not Applicable

10.05.03 Satellite occupations connected to the mining industry – number of person engaged there

in. Continuance of such business after mine closes.




This will be required only when the mine will be finally closed because as this stage the

population of the area will be benefited directly or indirectly in the mining project.

10.05.04 Continued engagement of employees in the rehabilitated status of mining lease area and

any other remnant activities.

After final closure of the mine, the Applicant will rehabilitate the area to the best possible

technically and site specific manner. The local population will reap benefit from mined out

area as it may serve as water reservoir after discontinuance of mining operation thereby

helping in agricultural activities as well as in day to day domestic use,

10.05.05 Envisaged repercussion on the expectation of the society around due to closure of the

mine.

The clause will not be applicable as the mine will continue to operate even after plan period.

It shall be the responsibility of the Applicant to contribute part of his earning from the project

for the benefit of the local people. Tentatively, the Applicant should maintain a separate fund

to be generating out of a contribution at the minimum rate of one rupee per ton of

production and hand over the same to local bodies like Panchayat etc so that the fund can be

utilized for some welfare activities. For proper utilization of the amount earmarked for

corporate social Responsibility (CSR) related works, a mechanism will need to be developed in

consultation and cooperation from local bodies, govt. officials etc

10.6 Time scheduling for Abandonment The details of time schedule of all abandonment operations as proposed in Para should be described here.

The manpower and other resource required for completion of proposed job should be described.The

schedule of such operations should also be supplemented by PERT (Programme Evaluation &
