CHAPTER – III GEOLOGY AND EXPLORATION & RESERVE

3. (a) Topography :

The granted P.L. area represents undulatory land with rock mass of Pegmatite. The highest

contour is found 295 m. from mean Sea Level and the lowest contour is of 271m. The vein

trending N-S is approximately 201m in length & 45m wide. The area bears scattered vegetations.

Mostly different kind of bushes is found in the P.L. area. There is no human settlement within the

area. Sakri River is flowing 11 km away from South-East to North-West on North-East side of the

area. Regional Geology This mining lease lies within the ‘Bihar Mica Belt’ extending in ENE – WSW direction for a length

about 150 Km and in width about 20 Km near about Gajhandi Railway Station (E.R.) – the

western and of the ‘Belt’ approximately in Hazaribagh and Hawada Districts, Longitude 85o28’

and Latitude 24o30’ to about 40 Km at Tisri Longitude 86o04’ and Latitude 24o35’ in Giridih and

Munger Districts which form the eastern end of the Belt.

Feldspar, quartz and mica occur in pegmatite as intrusive body into the country rocks gneiss and

schists. The pegmatite constituents are potash feldspar, quartz and, Mica along with some

accessory minerals like Beryl, Tourmaline, apatite, garnets etc. The presence soda – lime –

plagioclase maintains higher temperature and influence slow cooling of pegmatite magma, thus

favoring the formation of porphyroblasts of potash feldspar in Dhab Mine.

These gneisses and schists have been classed as Bengal gneisses in geological classification of

Archean gneisses. The main constitutional characters of these gneisses are that they are finely

foliated of heterogeneous composition so that the different schistosity planes have materials of

different composition from place to place. The gneisses are closely associated with schists,

varieties of accessory minerals are present in these gneisses and schists such as Magnetite,

Ilmenite, Garnets, Feldspars, Dumetorite, Andalusite, Sillimanite, Plagioclases, Beryl, micas

muscovite and mostly biotite and chlorite etc. In that manner it differs from Bundelkhand

gneisses and Nilgiri gneiss even their being of the same age.

The above said ‘Bengal Gneiss’ spreads far and wide into Bengal, Manbhum, Bihar, Orissa,

Rewa, Nellore, Karnataka and Rajasthan etc. between the please mentioned rock types, but the

homotexial and constitutional relations of respective gneisses and schists are same and mica

pegmatite occur in them.




The Bihar Mica Belt lies on the northern fringes of the Chotanagpur Plateau. The southern

margin of the ‘Belt’ may be near Parsabad Railway Station (E.R.) – the third station on S. E. from

Kodarma at Longitude 85o 45’ and Latitude 24o17’ on Eastern Railway Grand Chord section

running E.N.E. to Kharagdiha, Longitude 86o10’ and Latitude 24o25’. The northern margin of the

‘Belt’ may be on line from KAVAKOL longitude 85o55’ and Latitude 24o53’ in Nawada District to

Jamui Longitude 85o15’ and Latitude 24o58’ in the district of Munger and its W.S.W. extension to

about 10 km North of Gajhandi Railway station mentioned above.

It is also important to note that the ‘Bihar Mica Belt’ mineralogically divided into three zones –

mainly Northern zone, the Middle Zone Southern zone, Kodaibank mine lies in Southern zone.

The southern margin of ‘Bihar Mica Belt’ meets a series of granite intrusions. The granites are

characterized by having good percentage of plagioclase feldspars of varying composition from

albite to oligoclase. The Chotanagpur Plateau, Far and wide, consists of complex rock types,

granite and gneisses mixture described by various names such as migmatite, metapelite and

para amphibolites. The chief characters of the Bengal genisses are that they exhibit ‘Spheroidal’

weathering which is generally observed here and there in the mica field.

General Stratigraphic Sequence of Rock Type

The tentative regional stratigraphic sequence of the Bihar Mica Belt is as follows :-

Quaternary & Recent ………………. Alluvium

Post Lower Gondwana

(Lower to Middle Jurassic) ………………. Dolerite

Lower Gondwana ………………. Talchir Sandstone and Shales.

BOULDER BED UNCONFORMITY

Intrusives ……………… Pegmatite and vein quartz, Meta –

Dolerite Meta– Gabbro, Meta –

Pyroxenite and Othhoamphibolite.

Pre Cambrian Upper Quartzite and micaceous

Quartzite and Schist.

Meta sedimentaries of Mica Belt Mica schist and mica gneiss with

Intercalated amphibolites calc-gneisses and

quartz schists of Chotanagpur Granite

Gneiss and migmatite.




4 (c) Geology of the Area

Out of the sequence of rock formation described above it is found that in this area the main rock

types are the surface soil Alluvium directly overlying pre- Cambrian Meta Sedimentaries of ‘Mica

Belt’ – the gneisses and schists with associated pegmatite.

The stratigraphic sequence in the area: R O C K T Y P E S A G E 1. Alluvium Quaternary and Recent

2. Alluvium with boulders Earlier to above

3. Pegmatite body Dharwarian

4. Mica Gneisses and Schists Archean

Description of Rock Types: Alluvium (Soil Cover): Alluvium occurs mostly on low lying ground close to nalas in patches of varying extent and

thickness. The alluvium is yellow in color, fine grained and plastic, suitable as potter’s clay. It is

precipitated clay devoid of any rock boulders or pebbles.

Alluvium with boulders: This type constitutes of soil with boulders large and small of pegmatite minerals and rock and

schist rounded all and faceted mixed soil and spread over ground surface.

Pegmatite: It is revealed that it is a zoned pegmatite having a prominent Quartz zone and a Quartz-Feldspar

zone. Most of the mica concentrations have been observed located in between the one zone.

The second level is almost stopped out but the test inclines indicate the pegmatite as a

promising one.

Mica Schist and Gneisses: The mica schist and gneisses are finely foliated and of heterogeneous composition. The different

schistosity planes being characterized by material of different composition. The gneisses are

closely associated with schists of various compositions. The weathering of schists is

characterized so that it gives rise to ellipsoidal masses by the exfoliation of the rocks in regular

circular scales. From this peculiarity the gneisses have received the name of ‘Dome Gneisses’.

The schistosity type of Bengal gneisses is regular as probably the older member of Archean

complex. Mica schists and Gneisses are almost covered by the old debris, so it is difficult to plot

on the Geological plan.




Composition of the Parent Rock Mica Schist: The parent rock is mica schist constituted mainly of Muscovite along with Biotite, Feldspar,

Quartz, Andalusite, Garnet etc; major minerals being Ruby Mica (Muscovite), Quartz, Potash

Feldspar – Orthoclase and Microcline.

Composition of the minerals: Biotite : K2O, 2 (Mg.Fe.O) 3, Al2O3. 6SiO2, 2H2O

Muscovite : K2O, 3Al2O3, 6SiO2, 2H2O

Microcline of Orthoclase : K2O, Al2O3, 6SiO2

Quartz : SiO2.

Composition of Pegmatite

The mineral composition of the pegmatite of in this area is Mica, microcline and orthoclase as

potash feldspar and quartz.

The mica samples from DTH are analyzed from State Geological Laboratory, Hazaribagh. The

analysis report of Mica is enclosed as Annexure – IV.

3. (e) Geological Plan :

A geological plan is prepared on a scale of 1:1000 with a contour interval 1 m and grid interval of

100 m various litho units such as Soil, Pegmatite and soapstone exposed are delineated.

Summary of the exploratory work, which had made the basis for preparation of this geological

plan, are as follows.

3. (f) Geological Section :

A total of 4 nos. of Geological Sections namely A - A’………….. D –D’ is prepared at for the

entire deposit on a scale of 1:1000 across the strike of the exposure as well as longitudinally

passing through the mineralized zone. Based on the DTH data the Litho units are placed in the

section. 3. (h) Estimation of Reserves: Parameter of resources estimation:- The resources & reserve is estimated on the basis of UNFC Classification in the following

manner.

Reserve has been estimated based on availability of Quartz, feldspar & mica exposed and on the

basis of 7 drill holes within the area. On the basis of occurrence of deposit in these holes the

resources has been estimated on the basis of cross section X length of influence method.

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

the litho units in the area & location of the DTH.

b) Cross Sectional area have been estimated on the basis of cross sections.

c) Length of influence has been measured by the taking half of the section interval distance

on both side of each section.




d) Scrap mica will be recovered @30% of total volume of recovered (80%) pegmatite.

It is evident from the drill holes & quarry face exposure that a considerable thickness of

pegmatite body with concentration workable Quartz, feldspar & mica presents within the area.

Detailed geological mapping has been done & based on level of exploration & drilled log the

pegmatite body is mapped & the proved zone & probable zone also marked on the plan.

The occurrence of Quartz, feldspar & mica in the given directions can be justified with presence

of workable deposit in the drill holes where mica of considerable thickness, about 15m to 30m is

present as per log data and, hence, this type of massive and considerably thick deposit is likely

to continue in the area.

The measured mineral resources have been computed as the mica crops out in the existing drill

hole as demarcated in Plate No. 4.

In all the cases, areas have been taken as the area marked on Geological Plan. The bulk volume

has been calculated by multiplying length of influence with sectional area of the mica of drill hole

as derived. Geological resources have been estimated as in situ resources hence recovery

percentage is not taken into account.

The details of calculation of reserve are enclosed as annexure V.

CHAPTER – IV MINING

4.1. The entire area is highly potential area. The work will be started from the southern portion

of the area and further developed and advanced towards northern part of the area. In the

Lease area there has 1m soil. During quarry development some amount of soil will be

removed and this will be used for road dressing. The benching system 6mX6m will be

practiced in the area, in order to comply with the provisions of Metalliferous Mines

Regulations, 1961. Details of advancement and formation of benches are shown in

Development Plan & Sections (Plate Nos. 5, 5A 6, 6A 7, 7A 8, 8A, 9 & 9A) on the scale

of 1:1000.

4.2. Mining Strategy: it is proposed to carry out only opencast mechanized mining for this plan period i.e. five

years. The operations like drilling of shot hole, sorting of ore and loading will be done

mechanically by deploying 100mm dia wagon drilling to drill and blast holes having

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

as precautionary measure.

4.3. Production Targets: Year wise Production of Quartz, Feldspar & Mica 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 Quartz, Feldspar & Mica in each bench. Year wise calculation has been

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

4.4. Bench Design and Formation: Since the mine will be worked in mechanized working pattern during this proposed plan

period of 5 years, bench height will be restricted to the statutory 6m X 6m due to

compactness of the Quartz, Feldspar & Mica and as per the DGMS norms. Bench slope

angle will be maintained less than 45º.

4.5. Bench Development during the Plan Period: Working of the proposed five years will be started from the southern part of the area and

extended towards northern portion and further depth. Details of advancement and

formation of benches are shown in Development Plan & Sections (Plates: 5, 5A, 6, 6A, 7,7A, 8, 8A, 9 & 9A) in the scale 1:1000.

1st year: During 1st year working will be started from the Southern part of the area with

three benches of 6m X 6m in dimension. The benches RL are from 295m to 280m and

will be extended towards northern side. During quarry development topsoil will be

removed and this will be stored for future utilization.

Altogether 83613 tonnes of mineral will be generated @ 80% recovery including 37626

tonnes of Quartz, 20903 tonnes of Feldspar & 25084 tonnes of Mica.

Mica schist will also be generated as side burden during bench development and this will

be dumped in non-mineralization area.

For haulage activity 1 in 16 ramps will be maintained at the quarry face.

excavation and removal of Quartz, Feldspar & Mica in conjunction with deep hole drilling

and blasting.

In this connection, guidelines, issued by the Director of Mine’s Safety by various circular,

will be adopted.

While preparing a conceptual mining plan for the Quartz, Feldspar & Mica Lease, the

following points and percepts have been kept in view:

The lease area is existing area.

During this plan period of five years the area will be worked out except 7.5m safety

barrier. During the working in the plan period some amount of soil will be generated and

this will be used as road dressing. The voids, so left, will be filled with rain water and shall

be treated as water reservoir.

After the conceptual mining period, on the basis of proposed production planning and

available reserve position, the ultimate pit area, ultimate pit depth, ultimate generation of

waste, final pits slope, afforestation programme is given in the following table:

years. The operations like drilling of shot hole, sorting of ore and loading will be done

mechanically by deploying 100mm dia wagon drilling to drill and blast holes having

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

as precautionary measure.

CHAPTER – V BLASTING

Blasting:-

Deep Blasting will be practiced in this area with 3m burden, 3.5m spacing after obtaining

required permission from the concerned authority prior to obtaining permission for deep

hole Blasting, Jackhammer, compressor combination drilling and blasting will be practice

with 1.5m burden, 1.5m spacing for production of quartz and feldspar.

5.1. 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 600mm. 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.

5.2. Pattern and Sequence of firing The normal pattern of holes with 3m burden, 3.5m 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.

5.3. Types of explosives to be used. Nitro Mixture explosives are used for blasting. Deck charging is used wherever

necessary. 5.4. Powder Factor

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




5.5. Storage of Explosives An agreement will be made by the lessee with the blasting agency before starting the

mine.

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 Act, 1884 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.

5.6. 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 (DTH) delay

detonators.

2. Care shall be taken to ensure that effective burden is not excessive and the face

shall be kept sufficiently long. The burden shall be kept at 3m & spacing shall be 3.5m.

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

4. The depth of the hole shall be normally 6 m, which includes about 0.6 meter of

sub grade drilling, i.e. about 10% of the depth of the hole. The diameter of the hole shall

be kept at 100 mm.

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

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

7. 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 hole 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 – VI MINE DRAINAGE

6.0. Mine Drainage: Sakri River is flowing 11 km away from South-East to North-West on North-East side of

the area. Likely depth of water table based on observations from nearby wells and water

bodies:

1. The water table is 20-25m below the ground level (Reported from nearby nala, RL

255m).

2. The area is more or less undulating and working will be done in this area above ground

water table.

3. Adequate number of diesel pumps will be kept standby. During rainy season water

from the pit, if available, will be sampled and the results will be submitted when required.

There is no surface water and ground water body available in the lease area. The

proposed area with its surroundings is gently sloping. Sakri River is flowing 11 km away

from South-East to North-West on North-East side of the area. The area is much above

HFL and there was no occasion of flooding in the area. From the tube well, sunk in the

area, it has been observed that the ground water table is 20-25meter below the ground

level. The quality of the water sample from the tube will be analyzed. The proposed

mining operation is mechanized and does not affect any pollution at the remarkable

scale.

An ambient water quality monitoring network will be designed for assessment of the

baseline status of ambient water quality. The parameters to be monitored are given as

below:

(1) PH— (2) E.C. --- (3) Ca- Concentration

(4) Mg-Concentration (5) Na- Concentration (6) K- Concentration

(7) HCO3—Concentration of bi-carbonate (8) Cl- Concentration of Chloride

CHAPTER – VII STACKING OF MINERAL REJECT

AND DISPOSAL OF WASTE

7.1. Nature of Waste: In the Lease area average 1m thick soil cover has been reported from the old pits and

DTH log.

Mica schist has been reported with pegmatite body as per the DTH bore hole log data.

The mica schist will be removed during quarry advancement as side burden. 7.2. Selection of dump site:

During quarry development topsoil will be removed and stored at north eastern portion of the lease area for future utilization. During conceptual period plantation will be done over this dump for stabilization & less erosion of dumped soil.


be dumped in non-mineralization area. During conceptual period plantation will be done

over this dump for stabilization.




CHAPTER – VIII USE OF MINERALS

8.1. USE OF MINERALS: (a) Feldspar:

Potash felspar is mostly used in insulator manufacture and the glass and ceramic

industries. The glass and ceramic industries are the major consumers of Potash Felspar

and account for 80% of the total consumption. In glass industry Potash - K2O content is

important for its action as a flue and the alumina – AI2O3 content provides resistance to

impact, bending and thermal shock. In ceramic bodies Potash Felspar is preferred

although soda felspar works as a good flues and can be satisfactorily used in developing

ceramic bodies, because potash felspar has P.C.C. value 10 as compared to 0.9 of soda

felspar. Oligoclase high in lime, on fusion, becomes partially crystallized instead of

yielding solid glass, hence it is undesirable. Impurities of iron, manganese, Sericite and

lime plagioclases are deleterious in ceramics.

(b) Quartz: Quartz is one of the most common minerals. Quartz crystals if pure untwined clear and

transparent posses piezo – electric properties which are of great value in

telecommunication and hence of strategic importance. Quartz is also the source of silicon

which is of great industrial importance and is utilized in the manufacture of abrasives like

Silicon – Carbides, Silica – gel, the silicones, Ferro Silicon and of refractory like silica

bricks.

Silica sand is used for manufacture of glass in ceramics, for making china – ware and

porcelain and as refractory material. Also for special purposes in foundries for filler beds

sand for sheet asphalt and as an abrasive. Natural silica stone abrasives include the high

siliceous rocks, such as the hard compact sandstones, which are quarried and shaped

into suck articles as ground stones, pulp stones, grinding pebbles and liners. Diatomite,

Tripoli and natural amorphous quartz are natural silica abrasives.

(c) Mica :

Mica is a mineral that is commonly used in the electrical industry, to produce shingles and

other building materials, and to prepare samples for microscopy. It has also been used to

create window-like panes on stoves and lanterns, and to facilitate pigment suspension in

paints and dyes. Its sheet-like cleavage structure and high heat resistance make it an

ideal substance for these purposes.

According to the Minerals Education Coalition, mica is a key component in wallboard joint

compound because it gives a smooth consistency and prevents the dried substance from




cracking. It is also added to paint because it keeps the pigments from separating from the

paint base, promoting a more even color. Mica also makes paint more water-resistant. It

is added to plastics for the same reasons -- it provides reinforcement and helps molded

products achieve their shapes without cracking.

Mica is commonly used in the electrical industry because of its ability to withstand heat,

conduct electricity and withstand high voltage. High-quality muscovite mica is commonly

used as a dielectric substance in capacitors, and large sheets of mica are used as

backing for heating wires because of their high heat tolerance. In microscopy

laboratories, much smaller sheets of mica are used to mount tiny samples allowing for

visualization of plasma membranes and even DNA molecules.




CHAPTER – IX MAN POWER

9.1. Manpower Development:

There would be 300 working days in a year. Taking into account 5 years period,

Management & supervisory personnel considered under Reg. 34 (2) (C) of MMR, 1961

would be as follows:

Employment Potential: Future production planning does not indicate some change from present, in the

employment. The lessee has employed 10 miners for raising ores and 5 unskilled

workers for removal of overburden, quarry cleaning and road repairing. The number of

unskilled labours may increase depending on the quantum of overburden removal.

absentees & leave) Unskilled 5 Total 42

9.2. Site Services: 1) Rest Shelter

2) Pit Office

3) First Aid Arrangement

4) Drinking Water




CHAPTER – X MINERAL PROCESSING

10. Mineral Processing: For mica there is no need for mineral processing or mineral beneficiation to upgrade the

ROM Production. Here, mined out mica will be directly sold in different forms to the

buyers.

For grinding of quartz feldspar lessee decided to setup a crushing & grinding unit around

2 km away from the lease area prior to this the produced quartz & feldspar also will be

sold directly to the purchaser.




CHAPTER – XI ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

Environment is always affected due to mining and more so, when the mining is an

opencast one. To look into the environment protection area and Environmental

Management Plan is prepared. The present scenario of environmental attributes and

activities are shown in Plate – 10. 11.1. Base Line Data: 11.1.1. Existing Land Use Pattern:-

Category Area in hectares Area in Acres Quarry 0.11 0.27 Road 0.01 0.02

Safety Barrier 0.53 1.31 Total area in use 0.65 1.60


11.1.2. Water: Sakri River is flowing 11 km away from South-East to North-West on North-East side of

the area. it has been observed that the ground water table is 20-25meter below the

ground level. The quality of the water sample from the tube will be analyzed.

11.1.3. Terrestrial Ecology: The study of Terrestrial Ecology involves the identification of animals, birds including

nomadic and migratory, reptiles and amphibian fauna. Further, the dominant species of

vegetation also needs identification.

11.1.3.1. Fauna: Only domestic animals like cow, goat, buffalo, cat, dog etc are observed / found in the

area. As there is no natural forest cover, the area does not contain any wild animals. Only

stray jackals are seen sometimes. Both poisonous and non-poisonous types of snakes

are seen during summer and rainy seasons.

11.1.3.2. Flora:

The area is virtually denuded with vegetation. Neem, Palash, Eucalyptus, Akashmani

trees are seen at places around the area.

11.1.4. Quality of Air: There are no crushers within 5 km. radius. Hence pollutant in the air is very low, only

noxious fumes of vehicles. Though, air analysis has not been done so far, but it appears

that air pollution level will be significant in the crusher area.




11.1.5. Climate: Separate statistical data for the area is not available on the climatic condition of

Jharkhand state.

The oppressive dry summer is the characteristic of the district. The temperature may rise

to 40 0c in May and June.

Temperature Range: 170 c– 400 c.

The rainy season, also hot and highly humid, starts from the 15th June and may last up to

September. Most of the rainfall occurs during July - August.

Average Rainfall: 1090 mm.

Winter starts from November and is very pleasant. It lasts up to February.

Temperature Range: 11.70 c– 27.30 c.

11.1.6. Social and Demographic Profile: Area within 5 km radius is shown in Plate No. 1 (Key Plan).

etc

11.1.7. Public Buildings, Places of Worship and Monuments: There is no public building, places of worship or monument of historical importance within

the proposed lease area.

11.1.8. Whether the Area falls under Area under Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act 1974: The area does not fall under the notified area.

11.2. Environmental Impact Assessment: 11.2.1. Relief and Landscape Alteration:

As the deposit is a below ground deposit, thus in time when the deposit will be mined out,

the topography of the lease area will be changed. Thus, the visual impact of the

topography will be different.

11.2.2. Impact on the Water Table:

As mining and crushing operations do not require much water and no chemical

beneficiation will be there, impact on ground water table will be nil.

11.2.3. Water Contamination: Sakri River is flowing 11 km away from South-East to North-West on North-East side of

the area. There is no chance of the river getting polluted. However, adequate control

measures should be taken for any water pollution due to the failing of dump material

during rainy seasons.




11.2.4. Air and Noise Pollution: There will be impact to a certain limit due to dust generation from crusher, transport

operation, waste dumping and drilling/ blasting. Similarly, due to mining and crushing

noise pollution will be there.

11.2.5. Impact on Climate: No impact on climate is anticipated due to proposal level of working.

11.2.6. Impact on Human Environment: The beneficial impact will be there due to possibility of generation of employment with

increase in production.

11.3. Environment Management Plan: It is observed that there will be limited impact due to proposed mining activity in the

area. However, control measuring will be initiated to counter the possible threat to the

environment. The various control measures and mitigating measures are shown in Plate

No. 11 and are discussed in details below.

S. No. Attributes Parameters Frequency

1 Ambient Air Quality

Noise levels in and around the project area will be monitored every hour for 24 hours at each location

once during study period.

11.3.1. Dust Suppression: During Mining and crushing operations, fugitive dust will be the principal air pollutant.

Following measures shall be provided to reduce the air pollution:

Water spraying shall be there in haul road, crusher and mining area.

Wet drilling shall be preferred.

Sharp drill rods shall be used to reduce dust generation.

Dust extractor shall be used to reduce dust generation.

Proper monitoring of air quality data shall be maintained and in case it exceeds

the permissible limit, adequate measures like covering the crushers shall be done.




Avenue plantation in and around the quarry, dump site and crusher areas shall be

raised.

The 7.5m safety barrier shall be used for green belt development at 2.5 m spacing

left all around and shall be used for plantation of trees with deep vegetation so that air

pollution from the mine can be arrested. Pollution from dust, smoke & due to blasting

shall be minimized by adoption of muffling system at stipulated interval of time.

Details of year wise greenbelt development along with number of plants and

required area. (Taking 1600 plants on 1 ha area or 2.5mX2.5m grid pattern) .Further

every year plantation will be done outside the lease area.

Year Area for greenbelt in m2 No of plants 1st 1060 170 2nd 1060 170 3rd 1060 170 4th 1060 170 5th 1060 170

Total 5300 850

For development of green belt only local species will be taken for plantation,

green belt plantation will be protected properly, will be maintain daily by watering and

nursing. Rate of survival of the sapling on this area will be examined before plantation

and suitable precaution will be taken.

During plan period plantation will be done on the safety barrier.

11.3.2 Precaution against air pollution There shall be some air pollution as explosive in blasting are used & compressor, jack

hammer, tractor and trolley is required in the mine. Attempt should be made to reduce

this pollution & kept within permissible limits by sprinkling water on haul roads and

surrounding mining area.

11.3.3 Water Pollution Control Measures: As it is envisaged that chance of contamination of water is less, there is no need for direct

water pollution control measure. Garland drains; gabions etc are to be constructed so that

logged water during rainy season will be discharged after proper settling. 11.3.4 Storage of Top Soil/Rejects:-

There is generation of gritty soil, which will be temporarily dumped with suitable

precaution and during conceptual period this will be used for partly backfill the exhausted

quarry.

11.3.5 Noise Pollution Control Measures:- Besides drilling & blasting is also a potential source of noise pollution. In order to

minimize the noise pollution following measures are suggested:




Measures will be taken for control of noise levels below 75 dB (A) in the work

environment as per the DGMS standard. Green belt shall be developed along lease

boundary and transport road for minimizing noise level.

Proper and timely maintenance of machineries.

11.3.6 Land Reclamation When the deposit will be mined out then only the question of land reclamation will come.

It is proposed that after the completion of quarrying operation the excavated vacant area

will be converted into pool and will be utilized for irrigation and pisciculture purpose.

Embankment and wire fencing will be made surrounding the pool so that nobody can

intrude directly.

12.1(b) Reasons for Closure: As per the Government order and rule the Lessee has to submit Mining Plan with

Progressive Mine Closure Plan / feasibility report for environmental clearance of the project.

The reason for mine closure does not arise at this stage because the working will be started

after getting its’ environment clearance from MOEF and mining work shall be supervised by

qualified mining personnel.

12.1(c) Statutory Obligations: The Lessee shall follow all the Rules and Regulation as per the law for mining lease MMDR

Act-1957, MMR-1961, Mines Act-1952 & Mines Rules-1955.

Status of the Lessee: The Lessee is a Proprietorship firm.

12.2. Mine Description: 12.2.1. Regional Geology:

Please refer Chapter III of the mining Plan. 12.2.2. Local Geology of the Area:

Please refer Chapter III of the mining Plan. 12.2.3. Reserve Calculation:

Please refer Chapter III of the mining Plan. 12.2.4. Mining Method:

Please refer Chapter IV of the mining Plan.




12.2.5. Mineral Beneficiation: Please refer Chapter X of the mining Plan.

12.3. Review of Implementation of Mining Plan / Scheme of Mining including Five Years Progressive Closure Plan up-to the Final Closure of Mine:

Not applicable.

12.4.0. Closure Plan: 12.4.1. Mined Out Land:

In general, the environmental impacts will always be adverse, due to mining operation, if

proper abatement measures will not be taken. The magnitude and significance of the

environmental pollution caused by mining, depends on type of mineral, method of mining

and beneficiation etc.

As a result of mining operation, the original ground profile will be altered. There is no soil

within this area so after exhausting of the mineral from the area the quarried out void area

will be converted into rain water harvesting pit or water reservoir

Please refer Chapter IV of the mining Plan. 12.4.2. Water Quality Management:

There is no surface water and ground water body available in the lease area. The

proposed area with its surroundings is gently sloping. Sakri River is flowing 11 km away

from South-East to North-West on North-East side of the area. The area is much above

HFL and there was no occasion of flooding in the area. From the tube well, sunk in the

area, it has been observed that the ground water table is 20-25 meter below the ground

level. The quality of the water sample from the tube will be analyzed. The proposed

mining operation is mechanized and does not affect any pollution at the remarkable

scale.

An ambient water quality monitoring network will be designed for assessment of the

baseline status of ambient water quality. The parameters to be monitored are given as

below:

(1) PH— (2) E.C. --- (3) Ca- Concentration

(4) Mg-Concentration (5) Na- Concentration (6) K- Concentration

(7) HCO3—Concentration of bi-carbonate (8) Cl- Concentration of Chloride

(9) Total hardness as CaCo3—

12.4.3. Air Quality Management: The lease area is presently free from pollution. Due to the mechanized mining operation, it

will not affect the immediate vicinity of the mine lease area. There will be some deployment




of heavy machinery. Blasting & transportation will only create dust or air pollution which will

be of very less impact.

Dust, generated due to movement of vehicles will be checked by water sprinkling carried out,

time to time on all the approached roads. The dust generated due to crushing is negligible, if

increased; it will be checked by I.D. fan & cyclone system. Therefore, no significant impact

on the quality of air in the surrounding area is feared.

An ambient air quality monitoring network will be designed for assessment of the baseline

status of ambient air quality. The parameters to be monitored are given as below:

PM 2.5

Sulphur Dioxide (SO2)

Nitrogen Oxide (NO2)

Carbon Monoxide(CO)

The frequency of sampling shall be twice a week for complete one season. Ambient air quality

monitoring is proposed to be conducted for one season.

Noise: Equivalent continuous noise level (LAeq) in and around the project area will be monitored. Noise

readings will be taken at every hour for 24 hours at each location. The monitoring will be done for

one season as a part of EIA study.

Others: As a part of the study the information on the following will be collected through forest department

and revenue offices:

Preparation of an inventory of major species of trees, herbs, shrubs and timber trees in the area;

List of economically important plants, if any;

Presence of rare and endangered species, if any;

Preparation of an inventory of major wildlife species including mammals, Reptiles, birds,

etc.

National parks, if any;

Wild life sanctuaries game reserve, if any;

Tiger reserve / elephant reserve / turtle nesting ground, if any;

Breeding grounds, if any;

Core zone of biosphere reserve, if any;

Habitat for migratory birds, if any;

Mangrove area, if any;




Areas with threatened (rare, vulnerable, endangered) flora / fauna, if any;

Protected corals, if any;

Wetlands, if any;

Zoological gardens, if any;

Gene Banks, if any;

Reserved forests, if any;

Protected forests, if any;

Any other closed / protected area under the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972, any other

area locally applicable

The publications available in the form of maps and documents will also be collected and

utilized. The data on the availability of various floral and faunal species in the study area

will also be collected form Department of Forests and utilized.

12.4.4. Waste Management: There is no material which can be called as waste.

12.4.5. Top Soil Management: The gritty soil will be temporarily dump in the lease area with suitable precaution in the

northern part and then will be backfill of the lease area in the plan period.

12.4.6. Tailing Dam Management: Not applicable.

12.4.7. Infrastructure: The lease area is well connected with Tehsil and district head quarter by all weather roads

where all facilities are available. However, the Lessee shall have his own facility soon after

starting of the mine.

12.4.8. Disposal of Mining Machinery: It has already been mentioned that the whole mining operation is mechanized in nature.

Therefore, question does not arise for disposal of machinery at the stage of five years of plan

period.

12.4.9. Safety & Security: The Lessee will follow all the rules and regulations as per the provision of Director General of

Mines Safety for safety and security of the proposed mine. To prevent access to surface

opening or excavated area from cattle’s and local people, the Lessee will arrange security for

round the clock and round the year.

12.4.10.Disaster Management and Risk Assessment: The proposed lease area is small and the mining operation is completely mechanized in

nature. There is no any river or stream, flowing in direct vicinity of the proposed lease area.

No seismic activities are recorded in this area during the last 50 years as per the village




officials. The mining operation will not go to the much deeper side, hence chances of land

slide, subsidence etc is nil. The proposed project site falls in Zone-II as per IS 1893 (Part-I):

2002. Hence, seismically it is a stable zone.

12.4.11. Care and Maintenance during the Temporary Discontinuance: During such time the area will be protectively fenced and staff will be arranged for care and

maintenance.

12.5. Economic Repercussion of Closure of Mine and Manpower Retrenchment: It is not inferred to discuss the economic repercussion of mine and manpower retrenchment

at this stage.

12.6. Time Scheduling for Abandonment: The details of time schedule of all abandonment operations as proposed in Para – 4

should be described here. The manpower and other resources required for completion of

proposed job should be described. The schedule of such operations should also be

supplemented by PERT (Programme Evaluation & Review Technique), bar chart etc.
