Agriculture and Land Use The forest is full of variety of material plants, kendu leaves, bamboo, sal, teak and other timber species. The district has considerable flat land which provide suitable site for agricultural use. The hilly area is mostly under forest with patches of cultivation on scrap areas. Major crops grown in the district are rice, wheat and pulses. The area depends mainly on rain and only 23.24% area of agricultural land is irrigated and major source of irrigation are wells and canals.

Regional Geology: The geological formation of the Palamu district comprise mainly rocks of Archaean, Vindhyan and Gondwana ages, the last cut by dykes of Deccan trap age. The Archaean rocks include both schists of Dharwar age and gneisses and granites. The schists, 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. Garnetiferous sillimanite-graphite-schists, similar to the Khondalites, also occur near Daltonganj and Latehar. Smaller patches of these rocks are found in the manner of inclusions in the most prevalent and the biotite and sillimanite schists are rare. 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 (Fig. 3).

Geology and Mineral Resources: Following geological succession has been established by Geological Survey of India covering Palamu district 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 Ultrabasic 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.

The Damodar Valley Gondwanas dissects the CGGC into to broad belts. The southern boulder comprises of a few districts of Jharkhand and extends towards the Purulia district of West Bengal. The Palamu highlands immediately to the north of coal basins share the geological formations exposed to the south of coal belt & comprise high grade schistose formation up to the granulite facies. Palamu (North Palamu) - Palamu belt followed immediately to the north by Palamu Santhal Pargana Plains.

The southern belt comprises metamorphosis of low grade phyllites and schists in the south to upper amphibolites to granulite facies rocks in the north. The northern boulder is more heterogeneous compared to the southern boulders.

The area is situated about 34 km north east of district headquarter Daltonganj and can be approached by NH-75 and subsequently by state highway and village road. The nearest railway station is Daltanganj.

Topographical Plan & Geological Plan: The topographical plan of the lease area has been prepared on a scale of 1:2000 with contour interval of 1 m (Plate 3). The plan has been taken as the base plan for preparation of geological plan (Plate 4). The details of exploration already carried out and the procedure adopted for preparation of geological plan are described below.

Exploration Carried Out in the Area: The existence of stone in the ML area has been established based on the field observations. It is found that stone is exposed upto the surface in the ML area in the form of a small hillock. A drill hole were made to establish extend of geological reserve of stone deposit. Based on the above geological observations, proved and probable geological reserve, and also reserve as per UNFC classification have been estimated. The reserve of M/s Shri Vinayak Construction Stone Mines & Crusher has been estimated by cross sectional area method. A geological cross section has been taken on the grid lines for estimating the reserve as shown in the geological plan. Geological plan and sections of ML area is shown in Plate 4. The following basic parameter has been considered for estimation of reserve of stone in the ML area.

Safe charge per delay: The damage criteria was proposed by various organizations including USBM, DGMS, CIMFR etc. based on the permissible PPV in mm/s and frequency of the ground vibrations for various types of structures. The criteria based on the permissible PPV and frequency of the ground vibrations for various types of structures as per DGMS (Technical Circular Number 7 of 1997) is given in Table 13.

Study conducted by Dr. P. PalRoy, CSIR-CIMFR, Dhanbad and Prof. S. Jayanthu, NIT, Rourkela in similar conditions of the current stone mining area to estimate safe charge per delay to limit the ground vibrations within safe limit of 5 mm/sec as the frequency was within the limits of 8 to 25 Hz considering the structures as sensitive and not belonging to the owner. Based on the several field observations of blast induced vibration, the predictor equation in terms of the scaled distance and Peak Particle Velocity (PPV) was found to represent the measured data (Table 14). The same predictor equation was suggested for utilization in estimation of safe explosive charge per delay to keep the vibration level within the safe limits. Accordingly, the safe charge per delay is recommended to keep the vibration level below 5 mm/sec, which is presented in Table 14 for M/s Shri Vinayak Construction Stone Mines. Total requirement of explosive in the mine is only 828 kg per day which is much below the safe charge per delay limit; hence effect of ground vibration due to blasting in the mine will be very less considering recommended safe charge per day as given in Table 14.

CHAPTER - VII

MINE DRAINAGE

MINE DRAINAGE There is no river or stream flowing in the leasehold. Since a major portion of the lease area comprises of gently sloping hillock surrounded with peripheral slope all around. There will be no problem of water drainage as the area is predominantly rocky. Due to peripheral slope, the natural flow of water will be towards valley down below the hillock. River Koel is flowing approx 32 Km from the mine site.

To avoid surface run-off going out of the ML area during the monsoon season settling tank/sump shall be constructed within the open pit.

Socio-Economy: The impact due to mining on the socio-economic front will be beneficial. About 40 people will be directly benefited by mining through employment and number of indirect beneficiaries will be of the order of 80 to 100. With continuation of mining, other infrastructural developments will increase the socio-economic status of local inhabitants.

Historical Monuments: As no historical monuments etc. exist within 10 km of the area, impact of mining on such features are nil.

I. BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS 1.2 Meteorology The climate of Palamu district is mainly dry and bracing. The year can be divided in to three main seasons. The cold seasons from November to March, the hot season from March to May and the monsoon season from June to September, October is a transitional month between monsoon and winter seasons. Climatically, the district comes under sub-tropical zone. In the District, the only observatory station of Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) is located at Daltonganj. Meteorological data of this station can be taken as representative for the district

1.2.1 Temperature The cold season starts from November and continues till as out the middle of February December and January are the coolest month. In association with cold waves which occasionally pass over the area in the wake of western disturbances. In the southern part of the district in the high Plateau, frost occurs in December of January by March temperature begins to rise steadily. In May and early point of June the maximum temperature can be as high as 47 °C on individual days (Table 12). The effect of the extreme summer heat is somewhat alleviated by dryness of air and strong breezes that blow in afternoons. In general daily range of temperature is of the order of 4 to 23 °C during the winter season.

1.2.3 Humidity Relative humidity is generally lower in the afternoons than in the mornings, except in the monsoon months when there are little differences. The summer months are the driest with humidity as low as 20 to 25% in the afternoon (Table 12).

1.2.4 Cloudiness During summer and winter month’s sky is generally clear or slightly clouded. In April and May, cloudiness increases particularly in the afternoon. During monsoon months sky is heavily clouded to overcast.

1.2.5 Winds Winds are light to moderate during the winter and summer months, the speed being higher in the afternoons. In association with thunder storms during March to May and during the monsoon season when depressions pass west word across the central parts of the country, the area experiences strong gusty winds. The directions from which winds blow are variable especially during the monsoon season. Predominant wind direction was from south-west

1.3 Air Environment

1.3.1 Air Sampling and Analysis Two sampling stations were selected for air quality monitoring on the basis of predominant wind direction and other meteorological parameters (Fig. 4). One air sampling station was located in upwind direction and another station in down-wind direction. Details of sampling stations along with sources of air pollution are given in Table 16. 24-hour average sampling was carried out for measurement of PM10, PM2.5, Sulphur dioxide (SO2) and Nitrogen dioxides (NO2) concentrations. Methods and instrument used for air pollutant analysis are given in Table 17.

1.4 Water Environment 1.4.1 Drainage The drainage of the district is mainly controlled by the river North Koel and its tributaries viz. Auranga and Amanat (Fig. 5). The Koel, Auranga and Amanat have the upper reaches characterized by high bank and rocky beds while the lower reaches by sandy beds. The river Chhotki originates slightly to the east of this village and runs to the east. The river Surhar originates little to the south of this village and, after traveling north wards for about to 10 km rotates to the east and runs almost parallel to the Chhotki. The river Batane has its sources in the hills to the south of Saridih and runs on its western side going straight north into Gaya district. The river Banki emerges slightly to the south of Chhatarpur and goes west to meet the Koel. Leabing the Auranga, the Koel and the Sone, which fall on the boundaries of this division, the biggest river falling it the area is the Amanat running east to west and falling into the Koel at a distance of about 15 km from Daltonganj. Another important river, the Jinjoi, also runs east to west and meets the Amanat near its confluence with the Koel. Except for the Koel and the Sone all these are seasonal river and remain dry in the summer. Even in the Koel the flow is confined to one or two very narrow channels during the hot moths.

1.4.2 Geology The geological formation of the Palamau district comprise mainly rocks of Archaean, Vindhyan and Gondwana ages, the last cut by dykes of Deccan trap age. The Archaean rocks include both schists of Dharwar age and gneisses and granites. The schists, mainly horn- blendic and biotitic, are the oldest rocks of the area and occur as parallel and lenticular bands in the gneisses. The schists are intruded by epidiorites, amphibolites, and gneisses. Garnetiferous sillimanite-graphite-schists, similar to the Khondalites, also occur near Daltonganj and Latehar. Smaller patches of these rocks are found in the manner of inclusions in the most prevalent and the biotite and sillimanite schists are rare. Calc-silicate rocks and crystalline limestones of Dharwar age are largely developed in certain areas. 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.

1.4.3 Geomorphology Topography of Palamu district is characterized by highly rugged landscape with green forest all over the area. Elevation of hill ranges in southern part of the district starts from 360 m above mean sea level (msl). Master slope of the area in general tends towards north and east. In terms of physiography the district shows the following four broad categories of landforms:  East-west trending hill ranges, consisting of crystalline and metamorphic rocks in the southern part;  Flat topped hills in the south-eastern;  The sub-plateau area lying south of the plains are separated by narrow valleys in parts of Bishrampur block; and  Narrow valleys along the course of the major rivers.

1.4.4 Hydrogeology The district is covered by three major geological formations viz, the Precambrian crystalline, the Vindhyan and the Gondwana. Besides, the tertiary laterite and alluvium also cover part of the district. The Alluvium cover of considerable thickness occurs in the northern part of the district along the Son and North Koel rivers. Ground water occurs mostly under phreatic condition in all the lithological units and locally under semi-confined and confined condition.

1.4.5 Depth to Water level Detailed study on ground water level, availability, quality and water resource accounting of Palamu district has been carried out by Central Ground Water Board (CGWB), Patna. They have monitored 15 wells located in plane area at different places of Palamu district for long duration. The depth to water levels in wells tapping shallow aquifer ranged from 5.1 to 12.9 m bgl during post-monsoon period and 7.1 to 16.5 m bgl during pre-monsoon period. Depth of water in wells located at slightly deeper aquifer ranged from 9.8 to 20.7 m bgl during post- monsoon period and 12.5 to 26.2 m bgl during pre-monsoon period. Categorization of depth to water level of post-monsoon period in Palamu district is depicted in Fig. 6. The proposed mining area is located in small hilly area where groundwater level during post-monsoon season is 15-16 m bgl and pre-monsoon season is 18-20 m bgl. 1.4.6 Aquifer Parameters A total of 6 exploratory wells and 3 observation wells have been constructed by CGWB, Patna down to depth of 200 m in hard rock formation to decipher the potential fracture zones with their yields. The exploratory data revealed presence of potential fractures between 30 and 100 m below ground level (bgl). The yield of the well, in general as evident from the exploratory data, was found to vary between 5 and 62 m3/hr. Piezometric level varied between 4 and 30 m bgl. Aquifers (lying in depth range of 30- 100 m) have moderate prospects of ground water development. Summarized hydrogeological data of exploratory drilling in the district are given in Table 19.

1.4.7 Ground Water Quality of Palamu District CGWB, Patna has been analyzing the water samples of 15 well for long time. Ground water in the phreatic aquifers in Palamu district is alkaline in nature. The specific electrical conductance of ground water in phreatic zone during was in the range of 240-1340 µS/cm at 25ºC. The suitability of ground water for drinking purpose has been evaluated on the basis of pH, Total hardness (TH), Ca, Cl, F and NO3. The chemical concentration of these constituents, when compared with the drinking water specification recommended by IS:10500, 1991 as given in Table 20, indicates that in two samples from HNS at Chandwa and Balumath pH exceeded the permissible limit of 8.5. Fluoride concentration above the permissible limit of 1.5 mg/l exceeded in the samples from Bisrampur. Nitrate concentration above 45 mg/l has been found from samples at Latehar, Manika, Bhawanthpur, Patan and Daltonganj. At Bhawanthpur, Daltonganj and Manika the nitrate concentration was found above 100 mg/l.

1.4.8 Status of Ground Water Development In rural areas entire water supply is dependent on ground water. Ground water development is mainly carried out in the district through dug wells and hand pumps. Dug wells are in general of 2 m diameter and between 8 to 15 m depth, depending on the thickness of the weathered zone, tapping the shallow ground water in the weathered zone and uppermost slice of the basement. Large number of dug wells used for drinking water is under Government ownership for which there is no reliable data. Over the years Mark II/ Mark III hand pumps are being drilled in large numbers for ground water development. These hand pumps have the following two major advantages i) are less susceptible to contamination from surface sources and ii) they tap fractures between 20-60m depth which have been found to be less affected by seasonal water level fluctuation and thus have lesser chances of failure even during extreme summer. In rural areas of Palamu district the number of hand pumps drilled by PHED is 15344 of which 12275 are under working condition. There are 380 dug wells constructed by government departments that are under regular use. In Daltonganj, there are 2 Deep tube wells under operation for supplementing the water supply. In urban areas ground water plays a supplementary role in water supply, the major supply being made through dams, reservoirs or weirs across rivers or streams. As per the latest resource estimation carried out by CGWB, Patna, the overall stage of ground water development in Palamu district is 26% indicating sufficient scope of development. Ground water resource of Palamu district is given in Table 21. Stage of ground water development in different blocks of Palamu district is depicted in Fig. 6.

1.6.4 Soil Fertility Status

Soil fertility status of Palamu district has been studied by National Bureau of Soil Survey and Land Use Planning, Kolkata in association with Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi. Soil fertility status of Palamu district is summarized herewith.

The soil pH ranges from 4.8 to 8.9. The data reveals that soil of most of the area is acidic (47.8% of total area), in which 26.6% area is slightly acidic, 17.0% moderately acidic, 3.8% strongly acidic and 0.7% very strongly acidic in reaction. Soils of 27.1% area of the district are neutral whereas 20.5% area is alkaline in reaction.

The organic carbon content in the district ranges from 0.10 to 1.64%. They are mapped into three classes i.e., low (below 0.5%), medium (0.5-0.75%) and high (above 0.75%). It is seen that 42.6% area of the district have high organic carbon content. Medium and low organic carbon content constitutes 37.4 and 15.4% area, respectively.

Available nitrogen content in the surface soils of the district ranges between 120 and 809 kg/ha. Majority soils (68.3% of total area) of the district have medium availability status of available nitrogen (280-560 kg/ha) and soils of 15.8% area have low available nitrogen content (<280 kg/ha). Available phosphorus content in these soils ranges between 0.2 and 38.2 kg/ha. Data reveals that most of the soils are low (46.8% of total area) followed by medium (43.4% of total area) and high (5.2% of total area) content of available phosphorous. Available potassium content in these soils ranges between 76 and 1680 kg/ha and details about area. The data reveals that most of the soils (55.9% of total area) have medium available potassium content (108-280 kg/ha). Soils of 34.0% area are high (above 280 kg/ha) and 5.5% area are low (below 108 kg/ha) in available potassium content. The available sulphur content in the soils ranges from 0.61 to 82.86 mg/kg and details about area. Soils of 48.9% of the area are high (>20 mg/kg) whereas soils of 26.1 and 20.4% area are medium

(10-20 mg/kg) and low (<10 mg/kg) in available sulphur content, respectively.

The soils are sufficient in available iron and manganese whereas soils of 9.7 and 1.3% area are deficient in available zinc and copper, respectively. Available boron content in the soils ranges between 0.02 to 4.18 mg/kg and 67.7% area of district is deficient (<0.50 mg/kg) in it.

1.7 Biological Environment

Proposed lease hold area is barren and rock is exposed upto the surface. There is no rare or endangered plant and animal species found in core and buffer zones of the area.

1.7.1 Flora

Forest area located far away from the mining site has different tree species, namely, Mahua (Madhuca longifolia), Palas (Butea frondosa), Karanja (Pongamia glabra), Amm (Mangifera indica), Jamun (Eugenia jamb), Bard (Ficus benghalensis), Imli (Tamarindus indica), Arjun (Terminalia arjuna), Bair (Zizyphus mauritiana), Neem (Azadirachta indica), Piple (Ficus religiosa), Babul (Acacia Arabica), Khatal (Artocarpus heterophyllus), Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus), Sal (Shorea robusta), Khair (Acacia catechu), Asan (Terminalia tomentosa), Karam (Adina cordifolia), Sidha (Lagerstroemia parviflora), Gamhar (Gmelina arborea), Semal (Bombax malabaricum), Medh (Litsaea semifera), Bel (Aegle marmelos), Kedar (Garuga pinnata), Galgal (Cochlospetmum gosaypium), Kend (Diospyros tomentosa), Kusum (Schlfichera trijuga), Shisham (Dalbergia latifolia), Siris (Boswellia serrata), Bamboo (Dendrocalamus strictus) etc.

1.7.2 Fauna

Animals and birds found within the adjacent area are of very general type reported by the local people consisting of snacks, reptiles, rabbits, wild pigs, monkeys and jackals. Birds include pigeons, parrots, crows, wild fowls and owls etc.

1.8 Socio-Economic Environment There is no human settlement within the proposed lease boundary as well as within 500 m from the mine site. Palamu district is spreading over an area of 5043.8 sq. km. The total population of Palamu district as per the 2011 census is 19, 36,319 persons with urban population of 2,25,693 persons and rural population of 17,10,612 persons. Density of population of the district is 381 per sq. km. There is no industry in the area. Local people are dependent on agriculture which is possible only once in a year due to lack of irrigation facility. Local people are fully dependent of daily labour job, forest products, agriculture and employment in mines. In general, people of the region are poor and mining will help them to get job in the mine to prevent migration. SC population is 27.59% and ST population is 9.03%.

II. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

2.1 Impact on Air Environment

The proposed mine site is located in barren small hilly area located in remote village where limited agriculture is practiced during rainy season only. Only a few household are living in the area and population density of village is very less. The area does not have any industrial activity in the core/ buffer zone and hence the ambient air quality of the area is good. Mining will be carried out in a small area and loading will be done manually. Impact on air quality due to mining will not be significant.

2.2 Impact on Water Environment

2.2.1 Surface Water

There is no surface water body in and around lease area. Hence, effect on surface water quality will be negligible. In order to arrest rain water flowing from the lease boundary to surrounding area, runoff water will be accumulated in the pit sump/water harvesting pit. Koel Nadi is flowing around 02 km away from the mine site and effect on water quality of the river is not expected as no water is allowed to flow directly from the mine site. The water quality of pond water is within the surface water quality standard IS: 2296, 1992.

2.2.2 Ground Water The proposed mining operation will be carried out in limited scale on a small hilly area above groundwater level. The mineral formation does not contain any harmful elements; hence no contamination will take place into ground water. Moreover, settling pond and pit sump will be constructed for rain water harvesting and ground water recharge. Final mine pit will be converted into pond after mine closure, which will further help in ground water recharge and utilization of pond water for irrigation and other domestic uses.

Water required for different mining uses will be around 236.00 Kl per annum (Table 30). This water requirement shall be met by constructing a bore well fitted with small diesel operated pump (3.00 HP) and partly from pit sump. Water quality of the mining area will not be affected.

Table 30: Water requirement for the mine Purpose Details of requirement Annual requirement Drinking water 40 miners @ 3 litre per person per day for 300 36,000 l working days in a year (40 ×3×300 l) Water spraying on 500 l per day for 200 days in a year excluding rainy 1000,00 l transport road season and holidays (500×200 l) Watering of plants 500 plants @ 2 litre per plant for 100 days during 100,000 l lean period (500×2×100 l) Total annual water requirement for the mine 236,000 l

2.3 Impact on Noise Level Noise will be created by the movement of the tractors/dumpers. However, noise generated by these will be occurring at the very low level and ambient noise level in the buffer zone shall be within permissible limit of CPCB. Noise level in the core zone shall be maintained as per DGMS standard for continuous noise exposure level. Controlled blasting is proposed, hence effect of ground vibration and blasting generated noise shall be within in the DGMS standard.

2.4 Impact on Land Environment The proposed mining operation will be carried out in limited scale on a small barren hilly area. Very little amount of soil is present in small patches. Soil within the leasehold area will be used for plantation purpose. In order to arrest siltation during rainy season, a garland drain will be constructed around the leasehold area and overburden dump, and runoff water will be accumulated in the settling ponds/water harvesting pits/sump. Further, plantation/green belt shall be developed along lease boundary and transport road. The open pit will be converted into pond after mine closure, which will further help in use of water for agriculture for local people. Hence, no negative impact on land environment is expected.

2.5 Impact on Biological Environment The leasehold area is barren. Hence, impact on biological environment in not expected. As mentioned earlier, it is proposed to develop a green belt around the lease boundary and along both sides of transport road. This will help in improving biological environment of the area.

2.6 Impact of Socio-economic Environment There is no habitat in the lease hold area as well as within 500 m from lease boundary. There will be no adverse impact of mining but up to some extent socio-economic environment of the area will improve as, the mining activity and green belt development will create new job opportunities for the local people. The pit pond after mine closure shall be used for agricultural purpose, growing of fish, drinking water for animal and other domestic uses. Further applicant will provide the occupational health and safety by providing regular medical check-up and medicine distribution. Proposed mining operation will improve the financial status of the local people.

Name of RQP Preparing the Mine Plan : Dr. Amarjeet Kumar Singh Address : Near Shiv Mandir, Lal Bangala P.O. : KG Asharam Dist. : Dhanbad State : Jharkhand 828109 PIN : 828109 E-mail : [email protected] Registration No : RQP/RNC/143/2009/A

Conceptual Mining Plan at the End of 5th Year Plan Period Only proved (i.e. 111 category of UNFC) reserves are taken into consideration for extraction. The mineable proved reserve is 809062.50 tonne. During five years of plan period total production will be 3675000 tonne with a daily production rate of around 2450 tonne. Huge amount of stone will be remains unexploited, which will be mined in next 6 to 11 years. Total life of the mine will be 11 years. Hence, mine closure plan is proposed after 11 years of mining.

Mining Method: Proposed Method of Mining: The development of the area will be done by Wagon drills method and control blasting. Loading of stone to dumper/tippers will be done by hydraulic excavator. Hill top will be extracted by slicing method of maximum average 6 m height and the stone below ground level will be extracted by benching method after leaving 7.5 m safety zone inside the lease boundary. Mining Strategy All drilling operation will be done mechanically by compressed air operated Wagon drill of maximum 6 m depth. After control blasting by millisecond delay detonation technique, the blasted material will be loaded from the blasted face by hydraulic excavator on dumper. Loaded material will be directly transported to crusher located away from the mine site. There will not be any stock yard. Little amount of waste will be generated, which will be used to construct approach road to the Mine. Bench Design & Formation: Bench height will be restricted to 6 m and width will be 6 m or as per DGMS approval. The proposed bench slope will be restricted to 70°. The anticipated production for 5 years will be around 3675000 tonne with an average daily production rate of 2450 tonne. Overall pit slope will be restricted to 45°.

Ultimate extent & size of the pit: Ultimate extent and size of the mine is shown in Plates 12.

Final slope angle of the closure of the mine: The individual bench slope shall be kept around 70° with the height of each bench not more than 3 m and width minimum of 3 m. The final slope of the quarry walls at the end of the close of the mine shall be maintained at 45o.

Life of the Mine: Total Life of the mine will be 11 years.

Mineral Beneficiation: There will be no mineral beneficiation proposed during the plan period.

Review of Implementation of Mining Plan/ Scheme of Mining including five years progressive closure plan up to the final closure of mine: Indicative 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 vis-a-vis their status of implementation. Highlight the area, which might have been contaminated by mining activities & type of contaminants that might be found there. The reasons for deviation from the proposals if any with corrective measures taken should also be given. The lease area is virgin as such there is no implementation of Mining Plan/Mining scheme previously. Thus, Mining Plan with a Progressive Mine Closure Plan is prepared by the applicant (lessee) for getting Mine approval and subsequently mining operation will be started accordingly.

Mined Out land: Mined out land during plan period is 12.24 acre.

The Land use Pattern after Conceptual Plan Period would be as under

0.10 Settling Tank 0.20 Garland drain 23.49 Total

Reclamation & Rehabilitation Proposed of Mined out Area No reclamation is proposed as mine is not touching the ultimate pit limit during the present plan period. There is no habitation in the ML area, hence no rehabilitation program has been considered.

Water Quality Management There is no river or nala flowing in the leasehold. Since a major portion of the lease area comprises of gently sloping hillock surrounded with peripheral slope all around. There will be no problem of water drainage. This is all the more true as the area is predominantly rocky. Due to peripheral slope, the natural flow of water will be towards valley down below the hillock.

Water Environment Management No special arrangement is required to take care of ground water. To avoid surface run-off during the monsoon season settling tank has been proposed in the lower portion of lease boundary.

Air Quality Management: Impact on air quality: The contribution of fugitive dust generation is very marginal due to the manual mining operations within the ML area created by digging. Loading of mineral will be done manually and water spraying on transport road will be practiced.

Air Quality Management: Following air pollution control measures will be taken to suppress fugitive emission:  All service roads shall be boulder packed and maintained properly.  Dispatch Tractors carrying stone shall be maintained and cleaned regularly.  Haul roads will be compacted and water spraying arrangement shall be made to suppress fugitive emission. Waste Management Nature of waste Small amount of overburden material will be generated.

Disposal & location Overburden material will be dumped in the south-east corner of leasehold area.

Top-Soil Management: Top soil (wherever available) shall be stacked separately with proper slope and adequate

Airport The nearest airport from the area is Ranchi which is 245 km from the Stone Mine.

Nearest Railway Daltonganj 34 km distance

Nearest Highway NH-75, 05 km distance.

Disposal of Mining Machinery There is no requirement of decommissioning of the mining machineries, as the mining machineries are movable and will be used in the next mining site.

Safety and Security: The active opencast working will be properly fenced off from the surface as per DGMS statutory provision to avoid any unforeseen accident due to unauthorized entry of person. At the end of the life of the mine when the mine will be abandon it will be properly fenced off from all entries as per statute.

Disaster Management and Risk Assessment The area is hilly area. No possibility to flooding the area. Since the pits are developed on the hard compact and medium grain rocks hence, there are no possibilities of slope failure. The Risk Assessment & Risk Management Plan will be prepared for safety of man & machinery deployed in the mining activities as per Mining Act, Rules, and Regulations & DGMS circulars.

Care & Maintenance during Temporary Discontinuance There is no discontinuance possibility.

Reclamation & Rehabilitation of Mine-Out land Mined out area will be converted into pond by filing thin layer of soil at the bottom of pit. Surrounding area within lease boundary will be covered into green belt. As there is no habitation in the ML area, hence no rehabilitation program has been considered.

Measure to be taken for protection of water bodies available in the lease area including control of erosion, sedimentation and siltation, water treatment, diversion of water courses, protection of contamination of ground water from leaching, treatment of acid mine drainage etc –

There is no river or stream flowing in the leasehold. Major portion of the lease area comprises of gently sloping hillock surrounded with peripheral slope all around. There will be no problem of water drainage as the area is predominantly rocky. Due to peripheral slope, the natural flow of water will be towards valley down below the hillock. No significant arrangement is required to take care of ground water as ground water will be recharged by constructing sump/recharge pit/siltation pond. To avoid surface run-off during the monsoon season peripheral/garland drain connected with settling tank has been proposed around lower portion of lease boundary.
