The development of benches I the sheet rock will be maintained @60 degree safety slopes. The excavated material will be loaded in the trucks/lorries and transported to the crushing units. The crushed material will be transported to the destination as per the demand. Due to loading and unloading of material and vehicular movement the dust will be raised and the dust suppression will be done using sprinklers. The people who involve in the work will use the dust masks to take care of themselves from the dust pollution. Noise is due to vehicles and the vibration and noise are in limits only. Noise levels cannot be reduced as they are inherent to the machine. The SPM, RSPM, SO& CO quantity is negligible when dilution factor is taken into consideration. However a combined effect has to be studied for cluster situation after survey.
