 Shri Bhanjibhai from M/s. P & M Solution (QCI/NABET accredited Consultant) remained present in the meeting and they have submitted the Authorization letter of PP for same.  Shri Bhanjibhai informed the Committee that the PP has obtained TOR vide SEIAA letter no. SEIAA/GUJ/TOR1(a)/1751/2019, dated 11.12.2019.  Baseline study is carried out for the period of December 2019 to February, 2020.  Public hearing was held on 29.12.2020.

 Committee deliberated on the cluster situation. Shri Bhanjibhai informed the Committee that there are total 2 leases in the cluster. He also informed that there is another lease located within 500 m from the lease boundary of this proposal (i.e. for Semabhai Bhemabhai Chaudhary) in the name of Gelabhai Bachubhai Rabari (Laterite Mine – 4.00.00 Ha), which is non-working as per the letter issued by the District Geologist, Kutch vide letter no. Bhuvikh/GKA/2019-20/2850, dated 03.03.2020. Hence, public hearing was held only for one lease, i.e. for Semabhai Bhemabhai Chaudhary.  While deliberating on the EIA report prepared, Committee found several discrepancies, such as appearance of surface water bodies in the drainage map submitted by the PP and there was no laboratory analysis report for surface water samples from the study area  Shri Bhanjibhai informed the Committee that the surface water body was found dry during the study period.  Committee deliberated on CER activities to be carried out by the PP and asked about the action plan to monitor the activities after obtaining EC, but PP couldn’t furnish any satisfactory answer.

Looking to the above, Committee unanimously decided to consider the proposal in upcoming SEAC meeting upon submission of revised EIA report incorporating below mentioned points as well as all the TOR conditions thoroughly:

a. The Photographic evidence depicting GPS Location and date getting automatically stamped (not typed) on the photos of surface water Bodies (including the dry water bodies) has to be placed in the EIA report. b. Revised CER activities with emphasis on Environment conservation oriented activities. c. Time bound Action plan for implementation and monitoring of CER activities after obtaining EC.

Air Mining operation and associated Mitigation measures at various Environment activities are potentially air polluting and dust generating activities are the major air pollutant is the suspended discussed below: particulate matter. (A)Paved surfaces: (a)Most of the air pollution problems are Paved surfaces have less dust due to fugitive dust emission, which is generation potential. Dust pick-up more prominent in open cast mines by wind depends on the wind (b)The intensity of dust generation in the speed and is usually significant at mining is influenced by factors such as wind speeds above 5 meters per hardness of rock, mining technology and second. However slight speed of material handling etc. vehicle can cause higher dust generation. Dust emissions from paved surfaces can be minimized by adopting following measures: Prevent spillages of materials on the paved surfaces during materials transportation. (a) Minimize mud and dust track- out from unpaved areas by the use of wheel wash facilities. (b)Regular cleaning of paved surfaces, using mobile vacuum sweeper or a water flushing system. (c)Speed controls on vehicle movements.

Deliberation:

 Shri Bhanjibhai from M/s. P & M Solution (QCI/NABET accredited Consultant) remained present in the meeting and they have submitted the Authorization letter of PP for same.  Shri Bhanjibhai informed the Committee that the PP has obtained TOR vide SEIAA letter no. SEIAA/GUJ/TOR1(a)/1213/2019, dated 23.08.2019.  Baseline study is carried out for the period of December 2019 to February, 2020.  Public hearing was held on 12.01.2021.

 Committee deliberated on the cluster situation and noted that there are total 20 leases in the cluster out of which, 8 leases have obtained TOR till date and hence public hearing was held for these 8 leases only.  The Committee also noted that the Cumulative Traffic Study ‘gets improved’ in this report (i.e. for Pravinbhai Ratnabhai Vaviya) from the earlier two reports submitted for Shri Karmanbhai Jatiya (SIA/GJ/MIN/36850/2019) and Shri Arjanbhai Karabhai Ahir SIA/GJ/MIN/61096/2019) all located in the same cluster and for same Cumulative Cluster Study with a finding in the earlier submission that “Vehicular Traffic Density study showed the Level of Service (LOS) on SH-42 will Change from ‘A’ and ‘B’ to ‘D’ i.e. Poor and on Lakhond Chapredi Road it will change to ‘E’ i.e. very poor. So there will be additional load on the carrying capacity of the SH-42 as well as that of the Lakhond Chapredi Road”. The PP could not explain the reason for the ‘improvement’ in Cumulative Traffic Study satisfactorily. The Mitigation measures for the same are also not addressed.  The committee also noted that sampling locations for surface water monitoring as well as the laboratory analysis of surface water quality is not found in the submitted EIA report. For which, the PP replied that the surface water bodies within the study

232nd SEAC Meeting dated 25.06.2021

Page 25 of 242

area were dry during the study period. However, the PP could not furnish the photographic evidence for the same.  Apart from the above, there were also other discrepancies in the submitted EIA report.

Looking to the above, Committee unanimously decided to consider the proposal in upcoming SEAC meeting upon submission of revised EIA report incorporating above mentioned points as well as all the TOR conditions thoroughly.

a. The Photographic evidence depicting GPS Location and date getting automatically stamped (not typed) on the photos of surface water Bodies (including the dry water bodies) has to be placed in the EIA report. b.

 Baseline study is carried out for the period of December 2019 to February, 2020.  Public hearing was held on 12.01.2021.

 Committee deliberated on the cluster situation and noted that there are total 20 leases in the cluster out of which, 8 leases have obtained TOR till date and hence public hearing was held for these 8 leases only.  The Committee also noted that the Cumulative Traffic Study ‘gets improved’ in this report (i.e. for Harilal Hirabhai Jatiya & Raju Mahadevabhai Chaudhary) from the earlier two reports submitted for Shri Karmanbhai Jatiya (SIA/GJ/MIN/36850/2019) and Shri Arjanbhai Karabhai Ahir SIA/GJ/MIN/61096/2019) all located in the same cluster and for same Cumulative Cluster Study with a finding in the earlier submission that “Vehicular Traffic Density study showed the Level of Service (LOS) on SH-42 will Change from ‘A’ and ‘B’ to ‘D’ i.e. Poor and on Lakhond Chapredi Road it will change to ‘E’ i.e. very poor. So there will be additional load on the carrying capacity of the SH-42 as well as that of the Lakhond Chapredi Road”. The PP could not explain the reason for the ‘improvement’ in Cumulative Traffic Study satisfactorily. The Mitigation measures for the same are also not addressed.  The committee also noted that sampling locations for surface water monitoring as well as the laboratory analysis of surface water quality is not found in the submitted EIA report. For which, the PP replied that the surface water bodies within the study area were dry during the study period. However, the PP could not furnish the photographic evidence for the same.  Apart from the above, there were also other discrepancies in the submitted EIA report.

a. The Photographic evidence depicting GPS Location and date getting automatically stamped (not typed) on the photos of surface water Bodies (including the dry water bodies) has to be placed in the EIA report. b. Revised CER with emphasis on Environment Conservation oriented activities c. Time bound Action plan for implementation and monitoring of CER activities after obtaining EC.
