Biological Environment

Socio- Economic Environment

3.1.3 METHODOLOGY

The methodology for collection of baseline data for different environmental

component is based on the MoEF & CC and CPCB guidelines. The baseline information

on micro meteorology, ambient air quality, water quality, noise levels, soil quality and

floristic descriptions was collected by primary sampling / field studies during study

period. However secondary data have been obtained from government agencies and

other published sources.

3.2 ESTABLISHMENT OF BASELINE FOR VALUED ENVIRONMENT COMPONENT

Land Environment-

Land is the most vital resource for sustenance of the life and degradation of land due to

industrialization, urbanization and population growth is a matter of concern.

Therefore, it is necessary to establish the existing land use pattern to optimize land use

as well as minimize degradation due to development activities. The basic idea of land

use classification for the purpose of EIA study is to define the distribution of the

existing land according to its actual use. The land use pattern use indicated the manner

in which different part of land in the study area is being utilized and un-utilized. It is an

important indicator of environmental health and human activity.



(A) Land use of study area (buffer zone)

The existing land use pattern in the study area has been studied through satellite

3.3 WATER ENVIRONMENT

The assessment of present status of water quality within the study area was conducted

by collecting water from ground water & surface water sources during the period of

March 16 to May ’16. There is no perennial source of surface water body in the core

zone, however two rivers flows in study area. (Refer in drainage map of the study

area).

Surface Water- proposed waste rock dump sites are away from any seasonal water

stream. Thus there will be no impact of the mining in the natural flow of water and

drainage system in the existing area. The lessee shall make garland drain, retaining

walls, setting tank all around the pits and dumps. The rain water shall be utilized by

harvesting techniques.

Ground water- the water table in the area is 40m (in rainy season) 45m (in dry

season). Mining will be not intersecting in ultimate pit limit (303 mRL). The ground

water in the area is not likely to be effected at all.

HYDROGEOLOGY- Occurrence of ground water depends upon topography, physio

graphy and structural features of the geological formations. In Kota district, ground

water occurs in mainly four hydro geological formations. These hydro geological

formations are alluvium, sandstone, shale and limestone and among these formations

alluvium is the most important formation as it covers the maximum area and also it is

the most potential among different hydro-geological formations.

FIGURE 3.8: HYDROGEOLOGICAL MAP OF THE DISTRICT KOTA



Depth to Water Level (Pre & Post Monsoon)

The ground water level of the mine is much below the level of the working thus,

groundwater table will not be intersected till reach to ultimate depth of working. The

ground water table in the lease area is 40m (in rainy season) to 45m (in dry season) &

highest elevation of the lease area 340 mRL and lowest elevation of the lease area is

337 mRL. The ground water in the area is not likely to be affected at all.

3.4 AMBIENT AIR ENVIRONMENT

3.4.1 Meteorology -Meteorological factors such as wind speed, direction variation in

temperature, humidity etc. play a direct role in dispersion of pollutants atmospheric

pressure, rainfall and cloud cover also govern this activity. In order to establish the

prevailing climatic condition, a meteorological monitoring station was installed in the

study area during the study period. Based on the site meteorological information

gathered during the monitoring period, wind rose diagram was generated to

understand the prevailing wind direction so as to anticipate the dispersion of

pollutants in the wind direction. Refer Figure 3.11: Wind Rose Diagram

FIGURE 3.11: WIND ROSE DIAGRAM



3.4.2 Climatology

Climate of the district can be classified as semi arid type. Normal rainfall in the district

for the period 1951- 2000 is 807.9 mm. However, average annual rainfall for the

period 2001 to 2011 is 652.17 mm.The summers are hot and dry and winters are cold.

The cold season prevails from December to February followed by hot season from

March to mid of June. After summers the rainy season starts with the onset of

monsoon rains lasting till the end of September. The period September to November

constitutes post monsoon period. . January is the coldest month with mean daily

maximum temperature at 24.3°C and a mean daily minimum temperature at 10.6°C.

Mean daily maximum temperature during summers is 43°C to 47 °C and mean daily

minimum temperature is 25°C to 29 °C & 2°C to 5°C in winter. The average rainfall is

900 mm most of the rain falls during the period of July to September.

3.4.3 Seismicity of the area:-

Many parts of the Indian Subcontinent have historically high Seismicity. Seven

catastrophic earth quakes of magnitude greater than 8 (Richter scale) have occurred in

the western, northern and eastern parts of India and adjacent countries in the past 100

years.

The mine site as well as study area lies in Zone –II of Seismic Zoning Map, and thus can

be said to be located in an area of low seismic hazard by national standards. Hence the

risk of earthquake at the site is minimal and so the site is safe.



3.4.4 Ambient air quality monitoring

Ambient air quality monitoring was carried out during the study period (March to May

2016) to establish the ambient air quality. Sampling was carried out with the help of

reparable particulate matter Sampler “Reparable Dust Sampler” (RDS). The data

generated by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd. for ambient air quality status within 10

km. radius of the lease area has been compiled along with meteorological conditions.

3.4.5 Location of Ambient Air Sampling Stations

Sampling locations were established for ambient air monitoring in and around the core

zone within a radius of 10.0 km, to study the present quality of the air. The monitoring

locations are marked in the map presented as fig.3.12. Location of sampling points

3.5 NOISE ENVIRONMENT

The noise level monitoring in the study area was done at the ambient air monitoring

locations. Monitoring was done as per the CPCB guideline. The noise monitoring

results were compared with the Ambient Noise Quality Standard notified under

Environment (Protection) Act, 1986.

3.5.1 Monitoring Methodology of Noise Level

Noise standards have been designated for different types of land use, i.e. residential,

commercial, industrial and silence zones, as per ‘The Noise Pollution (Regulation and

Control) Rules, 2000, Notified by the Ministry of Environment and Forests, New Delhi

on February 14, 2000’. Different standards have been stipulated during day time (6 am

to 10 pm) and night time (10 pm to 6 am). The noise analysis within the study area

was recorded using Lutron sound level meter.

The noise rating method as Leq i.e. equivalent sound pressure level has been adopted

for the measurement of noise level in various selected sampling locations of this

region. It is the energy means of the noise level over a specified period and is

expressed in terms of decibels.

3.5.2 Location of noise monitoring stations

The location of Noise level monitoring is presented in below table.

Flora: The floral study is done by quadrate method. In core zone 5 quadrate is taken

and in buffer zone 25 quadrate depending upon density, frequency and abundance of

trees, shrubs etc. Further the percentage values of relative frequency, density and

abundance are summed up together and this value is designates as IVI.

The present study on the floral assessment for the proposed project activity is based

on extensive field survey of the area. The study has been conducted in winter season.

The plant species were identified with the help of taxonomists of related fields and



nearby Institutions. Besides the collection of plant species, information was also

collected with vernacular names of plant species made by local inhabitants. In this

process the whole study area was divided into different sections to get the maximum

diversity of plant species. The sampling sites were selected based on land use pattern,

topography and floristic composition of the study area. Data on forest type legal

status and their extent in the study area has been collected from forest department.

The other relevant data on bio-diversity, like economically important plant species

and medicinal plant, Rare and endangered species in the study area have been

collected from secondary sources like forest and wild life departments.

In the core zone vegetation is dominated by Calotropis Procera, Zizyphus nummularia

CHAPTER - IV

ANTICIPATED IMPACTS& MITIGATION MEASURES

4.1INTRODUCTION

Environmental impacts due to open cast mining and allied activities are very

common which degrade the quality of environment to a considerable arial extent

from the source. In this chapter the likely impacts on different environmental

components are identified and mitigation measures are proposed accordingly.

4.2 IMPACT ON LAND ENVIRONMENT AND MITIGATION MEASURES

Topography and Drainage

Anticipated Impacts: The existing mining is change the topography and drainage

pattern of the mining lease area in the form of pits. However, mining operation

confined to the core zone of 43.24 ha, hence no impact is anticipated on the

topography and drainage pattern of the buffer zone.

Mitigation measures: To minimise the impact on the drainage pattern garland

drain is proposed to be made around the working pit so as to prevent the flow of

water into the pit. Garland drain routed through adequately sized sumps for

settling of suspended particles and the runoff thus collected is being used for

afforestation.

Land use in core and buffer zone.

Anticipated Impacts: No adverse impact is anticipated on land use of buffer

zone due to the existing mining operations, as all the related activities is

being confined to the core zone. The land use of the core zone is being undergone

considerable change as arising from:

- Excavations

- Establishment of facilities in the area.

The summarized detail of land use plan for pre-operational, operational and post

operational phase as per the approved mining plan is given as under:


Note- About 15.9800 ha area has been already planted within lease for full fill

33% plantation as per ToR compliance. At the end of mine life about 20.77 ha area

will be planted which includes 3.5400 Ha area will be planted on statuary barrier

(7.5 Meter) & 17.2396 ha area will be backfill planted. About 6.4804 ha area will

be converted as water storage.

4.3 IMPACT ON WATER ENVIRONMENT AND MITIGATION MEASURES

Anticipated Impacts on ground water source: There is no proposal for

abstraction of groundwater for the limestone mining. Also there is no any source

of ground water in the lease area. The mining will not intersect the water table of

the area as the ultimate depth of mining will be 303 mRL and general water table

of the area is 300 mRL (40mbgl) to 295 mRL (45mbgl) as per the information

furnished in the approved mining plan.

The excavation of limestone further does not add to any harmful ingredients that

could leach down to the water table. The composition of limestone is mainly CaO

and MgO. Thus the mine workings will not affect the ground water quality.

Anticipated Impacts on ground water source including hydrogeology: There

is no abstraction of surface water. The sources of pollution generally are run-off

from waste dump and mining area.

Total 43.24 43.24 43.24


There is no any surface water body exists in the lease area or any river/nallah

flowing adjoining to the lease area which could get affected. However general

drainage in the study area is defined by the Ahu river which is flowing at a

distance of 6.4 km SE direction & Amjar Nadi at 9.3km in NE & Psadi Nadi is

flowing 7.5 Km in SW direction from the lease area. Hence the proposed mining

will not pollute the surface water.

Mitigation measures to minimize impacts on water environment: Garland

drains will be constructed on all side of quarries. All the garland drains will be

routed through settling pits to remove suspended solids from flowing into storm

water. The water collected in the pit, after settling of the suspensions, will be

used for plantation. The details are given in EMP.

4.4 IMPACT ON AIR ENVIRONMENT AND MITIGATION MEASURES

The sources of air pollution are dust generated due to excavation, blasting, loading

and unloading of material and movement of dumpers/trucks. The blasting is

carried out by using low explosives by making drill hole with compressed air

operated jackhammer drills. The dust liberated in mining and other related

operations is injurious to heath if inhaled in sufficient quantity.

The baseline data on air quality is presented in Chapter-3. The maximum values of

PM10 and PM2.5 levels during the study period are below the 24-hour NAAQ

Standard 2009 (Figure-4.1). The gases SO2 and NO2 are also well below the NAAQS

2009.

Anticipated Impacts: The impact of the operation on the air quality has been

predicated using Fugitive Dust Model (FDM), which is a computerized air

quality model specifically designed for computing concentration and

deposition impacts from fugitive dust sources. The sources may be point, line or

area sources. The model has not been designed to compute the impacts of

buoyant point sources, thus it contains no plume rise algorithm. The model is

generally based on the well-known Gaussian Plume formulation for computing

concentrations, but the model has been specifically adapted to incorporate an

improved gradient transfer deposition algorithm. Emissions for each source


are apportioned by the user into a series of particle size classes. A

gravitational setting velocity and a deposition velocity are calculated by FDM

for each class. Dust emission rate from the mining area, based on the following

empirical formula.

Pa x 23.6

Dust émission (DE) = ---------------------- Wd x Wh x 1000

DE = Dust emission in kg/hr Pa = Annual Excavation in Tonnes Wd = No. of days of operation in a year

Wh = Effective working hrs in a day

About 23.6 Quantity of dust emitted in kg/for 1000 tonnes of excavation

Dust emission rate= (321699 x 23.6)/ 300x 8 x1000) = 3.16kg/hr.

The above mentioned emission rate is without adoption of dust control measures

of each blocks. The literature suggests that dust control measures reduce the

emissions and effective emission rate is one third of the computed emission i.e.

3.16/3= 1.05 kg/hr and the same is taken for modeling to compute the following:

Mitigation Measures to Minimize Air Pollution

Main source of air pollution is dust from the movement of dumpers/trucks.

The road is metalled except that inside the connecting link. Paving of road is

proposed to be done this will reduce the dust level from the movement of

vehicles to a large extent.

The sprinkling of water is being done undertaken as and when required on

roads as well as stockpile.

The dust may also generate due to low level blasting. It will be very limited

to the explosion site within 100 m. It will be minimized by plantation around

the mine boundary.

Further while manual lifting of the material and dumping into truck or by

using excavator in this case being lime stone pieces, the dust generated will

be minimum. However, drivers will be trained to drop the material from

minimum height.

Proper maintenance of vehicles is being done to minimize the pollutants;

Pollution under Control certificates will be maintained for the trucks and

drivers are instructed to drive at slow speed and proper supervision is

maintained.

The trucks are being covered while moving the material and care is being

taken so that loading will be done without spillage of material during the

movement.

Effective traffic management is being done by ensuring that there are no

traffic jams on mine route by deputing manpower and by planning truck

movement.

Effective mine closure plan or post mining land use.

Ambient Air Quality Monitoring will be conducted on regular basis to assess

the quality of ambient air as per the proposed monitoring plan in Chapter-5

to have a watchful eye on dust levels and to assess the effectiveness of

mitigation measures.


4.5 IMPACT OF NOISE / VIBRATIONS & MITIGATION MEASURES

There is no habitation in and around the core zone and the nearest villages

Satalkhedi & Pipakhedi is 0.8 & 1.0 km from lease area. The main source of noise

pollution and vibrations will be (i) movement of trucks (ii) Operation of excavator

(iii) Drilling of holes for blasting and (iv) Blasting itself.

Anticipated Impacts: There is no habitation in immediate vicinity. The nearest population is in village

Satalkhedi is at about 0.8 Km from the mine site. Therefore from mining activity

there will no impact on the population of the area.

Noise generated from the proposed machinery ranges between 58 to 101dB (A)

(during drill holes). The exposure time for the maximum noise level of 101dB (A)

is one hour as per the Indian Bureau of Mines. Noise levels beyond the prescribed

standards can have an impact on workers. These can have also impact, on fauna.

Mitigation measures

In order to reduce the effect of noise pollution, ear plugs /earmuffs is being

provided to workers.

The compressor used for drilling holes is being provided with proper enclosures.

The workers will not be allowed to work more than one hour in noise prone

area, and will be shifted to other places.

Plantation is being carried in mining lease in form of garden. The greenbelt

minimizes propagation of noise.

Proper maintenance of vehicles is being done.

Mine operations Proper maintenance of vehicles is being done.

limited to day time i.e. 9AM to 6 PM

Power Horns will not be allowed in trucks. Drivers will be further instructed not

to use music systems at high volumes.

The blasting is being of low impact type with a maximum impact area of 500 m

The excavator use for limited hours with breaks at regular intervals. The

excavator will be regularly serviced.

By carefully designing a blast hole using experience and deciding drilling pattern

or blast geometry with appropriate burden distance, spacing as holes, hole size,

hole depth, and stemming height, and powder factor.


Ambient and Source Noise level Monitoring will be conducted on regular basis to

assess the quality of ambient air w.r.t noise as per the proposed monitoring

plan in Chapter-5 to have a watchful eye on noise levels and to assess the

effectiveness of mitigation measures.

4.6 IMPACT ON BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT & MITIGATION MEASURE

The lease area of 43.24 ha is Pvt. Land and there is no forest land within the lease

area. There is no interference with any first order streams. There is no release of

any effluent.

Impact on Flora and Fauna: The dust is the only major pollutant which will be

generated from different activities of mining. The effect of particulate matter on

vegetation is in the form of incrustation, plugging of stomata, and loss of

chlorophyll and reduction of photosynthesis process. Disturbance in plant

metabolism due to deposition of dust particles on foliar surfaces leads to

reduction in plant growth. The activities such as blasting including drilling holes,

operation of machinery as excavator and movement of dumpers/trucks can have

impact in terms of disturbance due to noise; interference in movement etc.

Mitigation Measures:

During setting up and operation phase of mine following measures will be taken

up to mitigate impacts on surrounding biodiversity:

Mining activities will be restricted to day time so that fauna will not disturb

at night.

Tar road is being used for transportation to minimise fugitive emissions.

Material is being covered during transportation.

Plantation is being taken up in consultation with Forest department and

species local to the area shall be planted as per findings during baseline

environment which help maintain the regional ecological balance, soil and

hydrological conditions.

Water sprinkling is being done on haul roads to control fugitive emissions.

Hedge of sturdy woody shrubs along the lease area will be created.

The removal or picking of any protected/unprotected plant will not be

permitted.

Fencing around the pit mouth to prevent fall of animal.


If wild life is noticed crossing the area, they will not be distributed at all.

Worker will be made aware of the importance of the wild life.

Educational and awareness programmes for mine workers will be

arranged.

4.7 IMPACT ON SOCIO ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

Mining activity has positive as well as negative environmental impacts related to

socio economic in the study area.

Positive Impacts

Mining activity will generate employment opportunity both direct and indirect

in the study area.

Increase in business opportunity with contract works, employment through

contractors, running of dumper, trucks, tractors and buses on hire basis,

running canteens, different kind of shops and other associated jobs.

Improvement in the general living standards and knowledge sharing.

Improvement in the economic growth in the region

Improvement in the general living standards and knowledge sharing.

Development of the region.

Other facilities will be provided under CSR activity.

Thus the local people will enjoy the economic upliftment. The following activities

will be followed: -

i. Rural/village & Community welfare.

ii. Healthcare of local population.

iii. Free medical camps.

iv. Literacy awareness, supports to schools etc.

v. Environment protection and Environment awareness activities like Environment awareness camps, plantation etc.

Thus the socio-economic status of the area will be improved.

Negative impacts

Dust generated from the mining activity can have negative impact on the health of the workers.

Approach roads can be damaged by the movement of trucks/dumpers.

Nearby agricultural field can also be affected by the dust generation.


Mitigation measures

Adequate measures will be adopted to control dust generation like water

sprinkling on unpaved road, working sites and wheel & truck wash facility at

applied site.

Construction and maintenance of approach roads.

Material will be covered during transportation.

Paving of unpaved roads.

4.8 IMPACT ON OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY

Healthy and safe working conditions are among the first expectations for

sustainability, i.e. the expectation that risks in mining will not deprive workers of

their livelihoods or of their quality of life. Occupational injuries and ill-health have

huge social and economic implications for individuals, their families and their

communities. They also have an adverse impact on the economy of the society as a

whole.

Occupational accidents and health hazards can also affect public health and safety,

and the environment. The effect on the health and safety of people, costs to the

economy and impacts the environment. Efforts will be made to address

occupational health and safety with broader social agenda for sustainable

development.

Hazards, which are associated with poor engineering design, contribute to

increased safety risks.

Although health risks can be avoided by implementing controls at source in the

work environment, designing such controls for mining environment presents

considerable challenges because dust and noise are generated by mining itself. A

range of control measures that act together to reduce exposure to such risks is

therefore necessary. These could include methods for minimizing dust levels by

reducing dust generation and methods for dilution, suppression, capture, and

containment.


While significant uncertainties remain in controlling dust exposures and

maintaining the effectiveness of controls, the use of appropriate personal

protective equipment (PPE) is important.

Exposure to Dust

Exposure to fine particulates is associated with work in most of the dust-

generating stages notably from drilling and blasting, mineral handling, and

transportation.

Methods to prevent and control exposure to dust include the following:

Control of dust through water spraying,

Use of PPE, as appropriate (e.g. masks and respirators) to address residual

exposures.

Physical hazards

Injuries during Project operation are typically related to slips and falls contact

with falling / moving objects and lifting / over-exertion. Other injuries may occur

due to contact with, or capture in, moving machinery (e.g. trucks). In case of any

accident immediate & proper first –aid medical care shall be provided at the mine

site.

Pre-placement medical examination and periodical medical examination

schedules

The fresh employees when taken are thoroughly medically examined under initial

medical examination and thereafter during continuation of employment; the

periodic medical examination is being done as suggested by DGMS.

Measures to Control Occupational Health Hazard & Safety

The working in the lease area will be done with all safety measures under the

supervision of qualified staff. The workers will be provided dust mask, safety boot,

helmet and other safety equipment. A well-equipped first aid box will be

maintained at site.

For mitigating the aspect the following measures will be implemented:

Regular water sprinkling on haul roads.

Dust mask is being provided to the workers.

Periodical medical examinations will be carried out for the workers as per

Norms.

Medical records are being maintained.

7.2 RISK ASSESSMENT

The anticipated risks in the mining operations are mentioned below:

Hazard identification and risk analysis: This deal with the hazards associated

with various mining works during operation of the mine and can happen due to

excavation, handling of material, machinery breakdown electric failures and

natural calamities.

It also presents the calculated frequencies of occurrence of different accident

scenarios for the identified potential hazard occurrence.

Risk Reducing Measures based on the calculated frequencies and consequences.

7.3 IDENTIFICATION OF HAZARDS

Technological Hazards

Technological hazards may be due to intense noise during excavation / loading,

transportation, drilling & blasting etc. fire in the excavator, and road mishap.

Structural failure

Structural failure is associated with the failure of slope, it can be bench fall, slope

failure due to undercutting and fall of machinery and workers due to fall of

bench/slope, any of the said activity can cause major injury and fatalities.

7.4 SCENARIOS CONSIDERED FOR RISK ASSESSMENT

Knowledge of work

The application of risk assessment depends upon full understanding of all aspects

of the job being undertaken. In carrying out a risk assessment in relation to a

particular task, the evaluation must include a review of the knowledge, experience

and training of those persons carrying out the work.

Personal Competence

It follows that the knowledge, experience and training of personnel involved in

work is critical to evaluate any risk assessment. A knowledgeable, experienced

well-trained and competently supervised workforce will be at a lower risk of

accidents occurring than a poorly trained and badly supervised workforce.

Co-ordination

It is essential that the coordinator ensures that everyone engaged in the work is

capable and understands the role of others and their responsibility for each other.


Health hazards

Health hazards are associated with the dust and noise, it is necessary to quantify

the key pollutants during surface mining operations that may result into health

hazard.

Inundation

The nearest water body is Amjar river which is flowing at a distance of 9.3 km in

the NE direction, Ahu Nadi at 6.4 km in SE direction & Psadi Nadi 7.5 km in SW

direction from the lease area. There is no possibility of inundation of mine due to

this river.

Noise

Noise is considered as a common occupational hazard in mine environment.

Prolonged exposure to noise over a period of years may cause permanent damage

to auditory nerves and its sensory components (Noise Induced Hearing Loss). In

order to avoid Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) to the operators of the HEMMs,

the cabins of these machines will be made sound proof. Also, the operators and

other workers working in the high noise generating areas are being provided with

ear plugs/ ear muffs to protect their hearing. No worker will be allowed to enter

high noise generating areas without wearing proper protection equipment’s.

Surface Fire

There are no ignitable materials in limestone deposit. However, the excavator to

be deployed in the mine may catch fire. All precautionary measures will be taken

to prevent the occurrence of such activity.

Loading

There will be no risk associated with the activity. However, precautions will be

required to be taken to remove workers away from the loading operations, to

avoid any fall of material on persons. Also, the loading operations will be

supervised by a site supervisor for properly guiding the loading machine operator.

Pit Slope Failure

The sides of the mine benches will be suitably sloped to avoid bench failure. The

bench height is planned to be kept 6 to 9m with width more than 6m to 9m of the

bench. The bench sides and edges will be regularly inspected for any signs of

failure, development of cracks, etc. Due precautionary measures will be adopted to

avoid any bench or pit slope failure.


Heavy Vehicles

Proper care will be taken while loading and transportation of mineral and

overburden. Good maintenance and regular testing will be done to avoid any

mishap.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

The PPE should be of good construction, where ever possible ISI certified, suitable

for the hazard e.g. a dust respirator fitted with the correct filter to capture the

particular hazardous dust and maintained to recommended standards.

Traffic Movement

The mining operation will be of small scale and the machinery proposed to be

used for mining is less in number, therefore there will be no risk of accidents due

to the traffic movement. However, haulage roads will be properly maintained and

the speed limits shall be implied on the vehicles plying for mineral transport to

avoid accidents.

7.5 DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

The complete mining operation will be carried out under the management

control and direction of qualified Mines Manager. The Directorate General of

Mines Safety (DGMS), Dhanbad have issued a number of standing orders,

model standing orders and circulars to be followed by the mine management:

Checking and regular maintenance of garland drains and earthen

bunds to avoid any inflow of surface water in the mine pit.

Provision of pumps for pumping out water from the mining pit.

Entry of unauthorized persons will be prohibited.

Fire fighting and first aid provision shall be kept in the mines office

complex and mining area.

Safety equipment such as safety boots, helmets, goggles etc. will be made

available to the employees and regular checked for their use.

Training and refresher courses for all the workers.

Working of mine as per approved scheme and regular updating for the

same.

Regular cleaning of mine faces.


Regular maintenance and testing of all mining equipment as per

manufacture’s guidelines.

Suppression of dust on the haulage roads.

Increasing the awareness of safe practices through competitions,

posters and other similar drive.

7.6 OUTLINE OF DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

The purpose of disaster management plan is to restore the normalcy for early

resumption of mining operation due to an unexpected, sudden occurrence

resulting to abnormalities in the course of mining activity leading to a serious

danger to workers or any machinery or the environment. The main objectives of

preparing a disaster management plan in mining project include:

• To protect workers in mine from accident.

• To prevent or reduce the incidence and severity of injury during mining

Operations.

• To respond immediately and adequately in case of a serious accident.

First Aid & medical facilities

The mine management will provide first aid facilities for use in emergency

situation. All casualties would be registered and will be given first aid. The mine

management will provide all facilities to evacuate the injured person from the

accident site to the nearby hospital.

Care and maintenance during temporary discontinuance

In case of any temporarily discontinuance or if mine closes temporarily, then the

mining working will be in the watch of a watchman. Before reopen of the mine

maintenance working will be provide to all the machineries deployed at mine site.

Before entering the labourers into the mine working/faces the workings and faces

are proposed to be inspected by manager for safety purposes as Mines Act.

7.8 SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT, R&R ACTION PLAN

There will be the positive impact on the villagers of the nearby villages in the form

of employment. There is no human settlement in the lease area. Thus there is no

impact on the human settlement and thus no R & R plan is required.
