Vibration caused due to blasting will be controlled by the following steps: -

1. Blast holes will always be initiated by short delay detonators, rather than

adopting instantaneous detonating. Short delay in blasting of successive blast

holes will effectively reduce the vibration problem.

2. Number of holes per shot and blast will be kept to minimum, to guide the the

throw in the desired direction while keeping vibration and noise to

minimum.

3. Multiple blasting and “V” pattern of firing will be adopted to minimize forward

throw and have a good rock pile.

4. Mostly, holes will be fired towards the free face.

5. Use of ANFO which has low velocity of detonation, will also reduce the

vibration.

6. Blasting shall not be permitted within 100 m of surface structure.

7. Peak particle velocity at a distance of 100 m from the shot hole, shall not

8. The flying fragments shall be controlled by muffled blasting and will not

project beyond the distance of 300 m.

9. Proper spacing & burden will be maintained.

10. Optimum utilization of the explosives will be ensured.

11. Direction of the hole will be maintained towards free face.

12. Electric delay detonator will be used.

13. Deck charging will be practiced for required fragmentation.

(ii) Noise Control

Noise control will be achieved by following the measures below: -

1. Shooting of large numbers of small well designed blast holes hastily planned daily.

2.Detonating fuse if not used for trunk lines.

3.Blasts will be planned to eliminate.

4.No plaster shooting is taken up as this is main reason of noise pollution.

(iii) Fly rock hazard control

1.Stemming length will not be kept less than the burden.

2.It will be ensured that the burden will not be excessive.

3.Inter row delay will be selected in manner, if required so that that each row

pushes its

burden in a forward rather than in an upward direction.

Storage of explosives :-

Mineral Beneficiation

8.1 Results of any beneficiation investigations conducted and changes

made in existing mineral beneficiation plant and tailing disposal, if any with

benefits expected.

No beneficiation investigation has been conducted by lessee beneficiation of

mineral. At present no beneficiation plant is working for beneficiation of minerals .

There is no proposal for mineral processing at mine site. As mentioned earlier, Bas

Bhandari Soapstone will be excavated manually. The minerals so excavated will be

made in gitty form manually with the help of hammers.

Mineral Bas Bhandari soapstone are also sorted on the basis of its grade & uses in

industryes wise minerals will be stacked separately for its use.

As such, no chemical treatment for its benefaction is done, hence other details are

nil.

8.2 Beneficiation test done, if any , on sub grade mineral including fines and

proposal for investigations of new or additional beneficiations facility, if

any :

As no beneficiations test is done over sub grade because there is no sub grade

mineral , hence other information required under mineral beneficiation head is nil.

OTHER

SOCIO – ECONOMIC BENEFITS:

Science the villagers in the nearby villages are not able to make sufficient earnings

from agricultural produce they prefer to work in the mines and get additional

income. This will improve their overall standard of living. Moreover they stay back

in the village rather than migrating to other places for alternate employment. The

mining in the roads, communication facility, health and educational facilities etc.

The mining will help in in direct employment generation. So mining activities will

bring overall socio economic benefit to local resident of the surrounding villages.

1.2 Impact Assessment

1.2.1 Impact on Land Use Pattern

In proposed method of mining is open-cast and underground mechanized

method., the top crust of earth i.e. scree is completely removed below which

mineral deposited is exploited. The overburden is completely removed to

provide access to the mineral deposit. In this manner land use pattern of an

area always changes in the form of voids formed due to excavation of mineral

and waste dumps left after mining. Therefore, measures are required for

reclamation of land affected due to mining and waste dumping to improve the

aestheticism of the area as well as to protect the land environment.

1.2.2 Impact on Air Quality

The air environment of the area is affected by several factors apart from

the mining. The damaged roads, other mines, agricultural practices in the area,

movements of vehicles add air pollution. The sources of air pollution in the area

due to mining will be mainly from dust generation by plying of trucks and

dumpers on unpaved mine road. The dust is also generated during drilling

whereas quality of air is affected due to emission of gases from different

machineries and Smoke generated during blasting which is momentarily, &

modifide mining plan with progressive mine closure...
