Replenishment is a natural process during each spell of rain some quantity of sediments will be deposited. This impact of change in land - use will be visualized over a period of time. Topography:- Mining will be carried out up to 3 m depth or water level whichever is earlier. This will affect the topography but natural flow of river will not be affected due to the mining operation. As mining activity will proceed along the flow direction of stream. 1.2 Clearance of existing land, No The entire mining lease area being part of river- vegetation and buildings? bed, there is no vegetation in the leased out area.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION River plays an important role in the lives of the people. The river systems provide irrigation, potable water, transportation, electricity and the livelihoods for a large number of people all over the country and to rural areas. A part from this, river is also a good source of construction grade material as sand & gravel. As transportation and construction infrastructure expanded since last few decades, the demand for construction grade sand also increased exponentially. The market demand of river sand is high throughout the nation and Rajasthan. Sand is extracted directly from the river channel and it doesn’t require processing other than size grading. But it is now well understood that continued and indiscriminate sand mining can cause serious environmental impacts, particularly if the river being mined is eroded. In order to mitigate the impact of sand mining on the environment, a scientific assessment is a pre-requisite for framing sustainable development strategies for the mining-hit areas.
1.2 LEGAL FRAMEWORK RELATED TO SAND MINING Mining Leases for the mineral Bajri are granted as provided in Rajasthan Minor Mineral Concession (Amendments) Rules, 2012 notified vide Department Notification No. F.14 (1) Mines/ Gr. II/ 2011 dated 23-05-2012 i.e. RMMCR, 1986. • According to rule 7 (Amendment) “Provided that mining lease for mineral Bajri shall only be granted by way of tender or auction”. • According to rule 8 & 17 (Amendment) “The mining lease for Bajri shall not be renewed”. • According to rule 16 (Amendment) “The mining lease for mineral Bajri shall be granted for a period of five years only”. • According to rule 18 (Amendment) “In case of mining lease for Bajri Mineral, part surrender of lease area shall not be accepted and the lessee shall not have any right to remove any stock of Bajri after the expiry of lease period or receipt of the order of determination of lease”. New clause 32 has been added under rule 18 stating that “The lessee shall abstain from mining beyond depth of three meters from the surface and below the water table of river/ nallah and shall work in such a manner that natural flow path of river/ nallah is not altered”. The Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (formerly Ministry of Environment & Forests), New Delhi in perpetuation of the directive of the Apex court

Nature Club of Rajasthan (NGO)} and SLP (C) No. 34811 of 2013 {Naveen Sharma Vs. State of Rajasthan & ORS.} dated 25.11.2013 “Till the end of February’ 2014, The Letter of Intent holders who have submitted their applications to the Ministry of Environment and Forests for clearances can carry mining operations in accordance with the Notification dated 21 st June’ 2012 of the Mines (Act 2) Department, Government of Rajasthan issued under rule 65A of the Rajasthan Mines and Mineral Concession Rules’ 1986”. Based on above order, Govt. of Rajasthan allowed sand mining permission to the proposed leases up to 28 th February’ 2014, which was further extended till 31st March 2014. On 27 th March 2014, Hon’ble Supreme Court of India has further extended this duration till further order, which is awaited.
1.3 SAND MINING The main purpose of river bed mining is given below:- This is very essential to prevent the riverbed from becoming shallow due to the deposition of sediments. If riverbed sand is not mined, the widening of river banks will result in excessive erosion; causing further damage to flora, agricultural land and settlements situated in close proximity. If the river bed becomes shallow the course of the river might change and the water retention capacity will also decrease. Protecting river banks and avoid flooding. Reducing submergence of adjoining agricultural lands. Protection of crops being cultivated along the river bank. Reducing aggradations of river level. Generating useful economic resource for construction. Generating employment Improvement in socio-economic conditions of the people in the study area.

2.2 NEED OF THE PROJECT In India, sand mining is carried out over the years. But earlier the sand mining did not require any Environmental Clearance. It is regulated by laws in many places, but is still often done illegally. Earlier in Rajasthan, for excavation of riverbed sand, royalty contract was given by Department of Mines & Geology. Uncontrolled sand mining from the riverbed leads to the destruction of the entire river system. To control illegal mining, Hon'ble Supreme Court stated in order given dated 27.02.2012 that all mining projects of minor minerals (including river bed mining) and their renewal, irrespective of the size of the lease would henceforth require prior Environment Clearance. Therefore, Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) has issued guidelines on 18.05.2012 for Implementation of Apex Court Order for mining projects of minor minerals for their Environmental Clearance. Therefore the riverbed sand mining project requires prior Environmental Clearance. To regulate and minimize the impacts of riverbed sand mining; mining will be carried out scientifically and systematically as per approved Mining Plan.
2.3 AMENITIES/ FACILITIES The site services like rest room shelter, first-aid facility, mines office etc. will be provided to workers at the mine site during operational phase. As per the guidelines no permanent structure will be constructed within the lease area interrupting the river course. Mine office will be established in mobile container. Temporary structures / tents will be used as rest room for mine workers. In the rest room drinking water and first aid facility will be provided. However, the nearest basic amenities/ facilities available within 10 km study area and is given in able 2.2. Table 2.2: Basic Amenities / Facilities within the Study Area S.

Zone I lies on Banganga River and starts near village Kathnadi on West and continues upto village Balahera Khurd on NE. Total length of the lease area is 55.10 Km. Effective working length will be 36.6 Km. Zone II lies on Sanwan nadi and starts at village Retaria in West direction and continues upto Handli where after this merges with river Banganaga. Total length of the lease area is 63.90 Km. Effective working length will be 46.90 Km. Zone III includes the areas of Palasan nadi and associated drainages. It starts from village Jhajhi Rampura on North and continues till Hingota towards NE where it merges with river Banganga. Total length of the lease area is 44.60 Km. Effective working length will be 34.50 Km. The salient features of mode of working as per approved Mining Plan are:- Entire stretch of the lease area will be divided into six blocks (A, B, C, D, E and F) for ease of operation, supervision, management and safety. Workings will be restricted within the lease area. The mining will be done by forming only one bench because mining is limited up to 3.0m depth from river bed. The height of the benches will be restricted to 3.0 m and width will be approx 20 m. Bench will advance parallel to the bank of the river. Extraction activities will start in the blocks from the upstream side to downstream side. This will not obstruct the movement of water, if any, during monsoon period in the river course. Roads in the lease area for the movement of loaded trippers/ trucks will not have slopes more than 1 in 20. Roads will be properly maintained and water sprinkling will be done for dust suppression. Total extent of lease is 163.6 Km including prohibited area having effective length 118 Km. Every block will have its own approach roads, which already exists and is well connected to main highways. Light weight excavators will be used for loading of mineral in tippers/ trucks. No OB/ waste material will be generated. No drilling/ blasting are required as the material is loose in nature. No processing of mineral will be done.

3.0 DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT
3.1 INTRODUCTION EIA process requires the primary baseline data collection to know the information on the biophysical, social and economic settings of the mine site. The criteria of the baseline data collection was based on the impact zone on both the sides of the river bank which was expected to be around the 1.0 km from both the sides. The stations were considered based on their sensitivity by considering the close proximity with the sensitive zones like reserve forests and expected high pollutant concentration zones like Naka etc. The baseline data have been collected as per CPCB guidelines in the month of October, November and December’ 2013. The following criteria were adopted while selecting the monitoring locations:- One location on the upwind depending upon the wind profile/ pattern. Two locations on the downwind side depending upon wind pattern (predominant directions). One location covering the sensitive areas within the vicinity. One location covering the transportation convergences route. One location covering the major habitation. One location on the downwind direction where the max GLC’s are falling. The monitoring station selected is as described under:- Table 3.1: List of Monitoring Stations
Location Distance (Km) Direction Component
Khutla 1.50 N Air, Water, Noise, Soil
Sikandra 0.50 SE Air, Water, Noise, Soil

Agriculture : The key feature observed within the area of interest is the agricultural activity. It is spreads over 72.89% (1824.83 Km2) of the geographical area. However, the agriculture in this area is primarily rain fed and also irrigation-based agriculture is practiced in this region. Wasteland : The next prominent land use is that of wasteland which is a degraded and underutilized class of land that has deteriorated on account of natural causes or due to lack of appropriate water and soil management. Wasteland can result from inherent/ imposed constraints such as location, environment, chemical and physical properties of the soil or financial or other management constraints. For the present study, this land class is found to occupy nearly 11.53% (288.53 Km2) of the area of interest. Forest : forest is the third prominent land use. This class occupies nearly 7.53% (188.56 Km2) of the study area.
3.5.2 SOIL ENVIRONMENT The objectives of the soil sampling are:- To determine the baseline soil characteristics of the study area; To determine the impact of existing as well as proposed activity on soil characteristics and; To determine the impact on soil more importantly with agriculture production point of view. The soil analysis results are given below:-

3.6.2 RESULT Surface Water The results obtained for the collected samples indicate that the surface water qualities were found to be well within the prescribed standards Limits (Class C).
Ground Water The analysis results indicate that pH and conductivity of the groundwater was to be in range of 6.5 – 7.88 and 1436-4176 µS/cm. The TDS were found to be in the range of 934 – 2706 mg/l. Other parameters like chlorides and sulphate were observed to be well within the prescribed limits but sulphate is found to be little high in village Swaroopgun (436.1 mg/l). The physic – chemical analysis for some of the parameters has exceeded the standards as per IS: 10500. The water quality is not potable in nature and needs necessary treatment before drinking. The necessary treatment required to minimize the impact has been mentioned in EMP and cost to be borne by the Project Proponent has been given in CSR activities.
3.8 AIR ENVIRONMENT The prime objective of the baseline air monitoring was to evaluate the existing air quality of the area. This will also be useful for assessing the conformity to standards of the ambient air quality during the operation of the mine. The baseline status of the air quality has been assessed though a scientifically designed ambient air quality monitoring network based on the following considerations:- Meteorological conditions on synoptic scale; Topography of the study area; Representatives of regional background air quality for obtaining baseline status; and Representatives of likely impact areas.

4.0 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND MITIGATION MEASURES
4.1 GENERAL Depending on the nature of activities and baseline environment status, the impacts were assessed. The following parameters are of significance in the Environmental Impact Assessment and are being discussed in detail:- a) Land Environment b) Water Environment c) Air Environment d) Noise Environment e) Biological Environment f) Socio-Economic Environment
4.2 LAND ENVIRONMENT 4.2.1 SOURCE The river bed mining does not involve any overburden/ waste. Thus, no waste dump sites are needed. Main aspects are excavation, loading & transportation activities. 4.2.2 IMPACT PREDICTION & MITIGATION MEASURES Impact Mitigation Measures Obstruction in river flow/ course.

These safety zones will not be mined out. Quantities will be strictly limited so that sand accumulation rates are sufficient to avoid extended impacts on channel morphology. Mining will be carried out as per approved Mine Plan in scientific and systematic way. Sand mining will be restricted down to 3.0m below river bed or 1.0m

above the ground water table, whichever less. Therefore, the mining will not intersect the ground water table. Loss of aquatic habitat is minimized because the river bed mining will be carried only in dry bed which will not disturb the riverine ecosystem. The mine working will remain confined to river bed only and in no case mining will disturb any surface area outside the river bed which may affect topography or drainage. The mining from river bed will not have any impact on natural drainage of surrounding area as the excavated sand from river bed is filled with first heavy flow in river during monsoon season
4.3 WATER ENVIRONMENT Impact Mitigation Measures Flow pattern might be changed due to No diversion is proposed. There will not be any adverse impact on river bed mining. flow pattern, surface hydrology and ground water regime. By mining activities depth will be Mining activities will be restricted to 3.0m depth, which will not increased which may increase the flow cause much change in flow pattern of the river. velocity. An offset of 20m will be left from both sides of river, which will minimize the chances of bank failure. Change in surface water quality and There is no change in surface water quality as river is seasonal. ground water quality Ground water quality will not be affected due to mining activities as it is restricted to 3.0m depth and the water level is 8.0m below the surface of river bed. A safety zone of 45m around the wells will be created and it will be left un-mined. The mining will not be allowed below the water table. Regular monitoring of water samples will be done as precautionary measures. Impact on Ground water recharge The depth of mining in the river bed should not exceed up to 3.0m potential as the thickness of the natural depth or water level whichever is less. filter materials (sediments) is reduce Mining will be done as per approved Mining Plan and applicable causing less infiltration. Rule & Regulation, so that there is no damage on ground water recharge potential due to sand mining. Waste Water Discharge Portable toilets will be used; hence no sewage/ liquid effluent will be generated. Hence, contamination is not expected due to percolation.

4.4 AIR ENVIRONMENT 4.4.1 AIR QUALITY IMPACT PREDICTIONS (AQIP) The major sources of air pollution from the mine are dust generation due to loading & transportation of mineral and wind erosion of exposed material. In this present study, United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA – 42 series) approved mathematical equations, have been used to predict emission rates for different operations in mining including the mineral transportation.
4.4.2 DETAILS OF EMISSIONS The sources of pollutants were identified. Mineral excavation was identified as area source emission, loading and unloading of minerals as point source and transportation routes were identified as line source. Appropriate mathematical equations will be used to calculate the emission rates for the various mining operations. Due to low sulphur
content in diesel and petrol, the SO 2 emission due to vehicular movements was not considered.

4.5 NOISE ENVIRONMENT 4.5.1 SOURCE Main noise generating sources are operation of mining equipments and movements of vehicles. Transportation activities are the main source of noise production.
4.5.2 IMPACT PREDICTION To understand the combined effect of these noise levels on the nearby community, Custic 3.2 (Lakes Environmental – USEPA approved) scientific model has been used to estimate the noise levels at different distances from the proposed mine site. All the major noise generating machineries like excavator, tippers/ trucks, loader etc., are considered in this model. The noise level at various locations due to different sources is calculated based on the following formula:
Lp 2 = Lp 1 – 20 log (r 2 / r 1) – Ae 1, 2
Where, Lp 1 and Lp 2 - Sound Levels at points located at distance r 1 / r 2 from the source
Ae 1,2 - Excess Attenuation due to Environmental Conditions. Combined effects from different sources at various locations are then computed by the following equation:
Lp (total) = 10 log (10 Lpx /10 + 10 Lpy /10 +10 Lpz /10) ) Where, Lpx, Lpy, Lpz are noise pressure levels at a point due to different sources.
The predicted noise levels based on the above analysis in the nearby villages, considering that there is no attenuation on account of barriers or green belt/plantation will be as follows:- Table 4.3: Cumulative Noise Level due to Various Noise Generating Sources [All values in dB(A)] The predicted noise levels based on the above analysis in the nearby villages, considering that there is no attenuation on account of barriers or green belt/plantation will be as follows:

From the above, it is clearly seen that there will be no significant impact on the surrounding community due to noise from the proposed activity.
Further due to natural attenuation effects, by proper green belt development, design / maintenance of machines, etc., the impact on noise levels will be minimal.
4.5.3 MITIGATION MEASURES Impact Mitigation Measures Noise impact due to mining The noise levels from all these sources are periodical and restricted to activities particular operation. Noise impact due to vehicular The noise measurement data indicated that present noise levels in the movement study area is within the permissible limits of National Ambient Noise Auditory impact Quality Standards. Periodical monitoring of noise will be done. No other equipments except the transportation vehicles and excavator for loading will be allowed. Noise generated by these equipments will be intermittent and does not cause much adverse impact. Proper maintenance of all equipments/ machines will be carried out which help in reducing noise during operations. Plantation will be taken up along the approach roads and vicinity of river bank. The plantation minimizes propagation of noise and also arrests dust. Ear muffs will be provided while working on mining equipments. Regular health checkups will be conducted for any such health implications.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAMME
5.1 INTRODUCTION Regular monitoring of environmental parameters is of immense importance to assess the status of environment during project operation. The knowledge of baseline conditions, the monitoring programme will serve as an indicator for any deterotriation in environmental conditions due to operation of the project, to enable taking up suitable mitigatory steps in time to safeguard the environment. Monitoring is an important as that of control of pollution since the efficiency of control measures can only be determined by monitoring. An impact assessment study is carried over short period of time and the data cannot bring out all variations induced by the natural or human activities. Therefore, regular monitoring programme of the environmental parameters is essential to take into account the changes in the environmental quality.
5.2 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND REPORTING PROCEDURE Monitoring will conform that commitments are being met. This may take the form of direct measurement and recording of quantitative information, such as amount and concentrations of discharges. The objectives of the monitoring are:- Very effectiveness of planning decisions; Measure effectiveness of operational procedures; Conform statutory and corporate compliance; and Identify unexpected changes.
5.3 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING CELL As a part of environmental monitoring programme an environmental monitoring cell will be established for monitoring of important and crucial environmental parameters which are of immense importance to assess the status of environment during mine operation.

5.4.1 MONITORING SCHEDULE DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE As the project is new and the working period will be only for 5 years, therefore, most of the infrastructural facilities will be temporary. The project will utilize mobile office room, temporary rest room, portable toilets etc. Hence nominal impact on the environment due to construction activity is expected.
5.4.2 MONITORING SCHEDULE DURING OPERATIONAL PHASE During operational phase, dust will be the main pollutant which arises from different mining activities. The major attributes which merit regular monitoring based on the environmental setting and nature of project activities are listed below:- Source emission and ambient air quality; Ground water levels and ground water quality; Water and waste water quality; Soil quality; Noise levels (equipment and machinery noise levels, occupational exposures and ambient noise levels); and Ecological preservation and afforestation.
5.5 MONITORING METHODS 5.5.1 AMBIENT AIR QUALITY MONITORING 5.5.1.1 Workspace Monitoring The concentration of air borne pollutants in the workspace / work zone environment will be monitored periodically. If concentrations higher than threshold limit values will be observed, the source of fugitive emissions will be identified and necessary measures will be taken as detailed in EMP.
5.5.1.2 Ambient Air Quality Monitoring
The ground level concentrations of PM 10 , PM 2.5 , SO 2, NO x and CO in the ambient air will be monitored at regular intervals. Any abnormal rise will be investigated to identify the

causes and appropriate actions will be initiated. Greenbelt will be developed for minimizing dust propagation.
5.5.2 MONITORING OF WATER QUALITY 5.5.2.1 Monitoring of Ground Water The monitoring of groundwater is the most important tool to find out the depletion/ increase in level of water table. Water table will be monitored at regular interval to check the behavior pattern of the water table. It is suggested to collect water samples and analyze. Records of analysis will be maintained.
5.5.2.2 Monitoring of Surface Water Samples will be collected from well-mixed section of the river (main stream) and will be analyzed.
5.5.3 MONITORING NOISE LEVELS Noise levels in the work zone environment will be monitored. The frequency will be once in three months in the work zone. Similarly, ambient noise levels near habitations will also be monitored once in three months. Audiometric tests will be conducted periodically for the employees working close to the high noise sources.
5.6 CONCLUSION Post Environmental monitoring is an essential step in the EIA process if the predicted impacts, the efficiency of mitigation measures and the shortcomings of prediction methods, measures and even regulations are to be verified and EIA practice improved. Environmental indicators could contribute to designing and evaluating monitoring programs, thus improving establishment of the cause effect relationship and the reporting and communication of environmental data. The Environmental Monitoring Cell will co-ordinate all monitoring programmes at site and data thus generated will be furnished as per statutory requirements. The frequency of reporting will be on half yearly basis to the Rajasthan State PCB and to Regional Office of MoE&F, Lucknow. The Environmental audit reports will be prepared for the entire year of operations and will be regularly submitted to regulatory authorities.

6.2 RISK ANALYSIS AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN 6.2.1 RISK ANALYSIS Risk analysis is the systematic study of uncertainties and risks encountered in various areas. Risk analysis seek to identify the risks involved in mining operations, to understand how and when they arise, and estimate the impact (financial or otherwise) of adverse outcomes. It also defines and analyzes the dangers to individuals, businesses and government agencies posed by potential natural and human-caused adverse events.
6.2.2 RISK PRIORITISATION BASED ON HAZARDS IN BAJRI MINING Bajri mining is done by open cast semi-mechanized method. Mining is done only within the allotted river stretch located near revenue villages of Tehsil – Baswa, District-Dausa, Rajasthan. The lease area is 2148.29 ha. There is no land degradation due to mining activities as mining is done only on river bed surface. There will be no OB or waste generation as the sand is exposed in the river bed. There will be neither any stacking of soil nor creation of OB dumps. So, no dumping area as well as stock piling area is required. Therefore, there is no chance of failure of dumps and no slope failure due to OB dump and stock piling. However, there are various factors, which can create unsafe working conditions / hazards in mining of Bajri (minor minerals) from river bed. The following types of hazards are identified during the Bajri mining operations:- 1. Accident during sand/mineral loading, transportation and dumping 2. Accident due to vehicular movement 3. Inundation/ Flooding 4. Quick Sand Condition
6.2.3 MITIGATION MEASURES 6.2.3.1 Measures to prevent accidents during loading

PROJECT: - BAJRI MINE SECTION –VI – ADDITIONAL STUDIES APPLICANT: - AMAN SETHI DO CUMENT NO.: - EESPL/ AS/ 001/ 150 – EC/ Mine/ 2013
The following activities will be done to minimize the risk are:- a. At the time of loading no person will be there within the swing radius of the excavator/ JCB. b. The dumpers/ trucks will stand near the loading equipment and fully braked when the muck is filled in it. c. The truck would be brought to a lower level so that the loading operation suits to the ergonomic condition of the workers. d. The workers will be provided with gloves and safety shoes during loading. e. Opening of the side covers (pattas) should be done carefully and with warning to prevent injury to the loaders. f. Operations during daylight only.
6.2.3.2 Measures to prevent accidents during vehicular movement & transportation The following activities will be done to minimize the risk are:- a. The truck will be covered with tarpaulin and maintained to prevent any spillage. b. To avoid danger while reversing the trackless vehicles especially at the embankment and tipping points, all areas for reversing of lorries should be made man free as far as possible. c. The vehicles must be maintained in good repairs and checked thoroughly at least once in a week. d. All transportation within the main working will be carried out directly under the supervision and control of the management. e. Overloading should not be permitted and the maximum permissible speed limit should be ensured. f. The truck drivers should have proper driving license. g. A statutory provision of the fences, constant education, training etc. will go a long way in reducing the incidents of such accidents.
6.2.3.3 Measures to prevent incidents during Inundation/ Flooding The following activities will be done to minimize the risk are:- a. During monsoon months and heavy rains the mining operations are ceased. b. There should be mechanism/ warning system of heavy rains and discharges from the upstream dams. Inundation of flooding is expected and beneficial for these mines as during this time only the mineral reserve gets replenished.

6.2.3.4 Precautionary Measure for Sudden Release of Water from Upstream Dam The following activities will be done to minimize the risk are:- a. The mining should be done only during the dry season and under strict supervision. b. Mining activities should be avoided during monsoon season. c. No go zones should be clearly marked and made aware to the mine workers. d. Deep water areas must be identified.
6.2.3.5 Measures to prevent sudden increase in water level The following activities will be done to minimize the risk are:- a. The mining activities will be restricted to 3m depth from river bed surface. b. Mining activities will be avoided during monsoon season. c. Mining will be done as per the approved Mining Plan and it will also be conformed to avoid the ponding effect.
6.3 DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN This should deal with action plan for high risk accidents like landslides, subsidence, flood, inundation in underground mines, fire, seismic activities, tailing dam failures etc. and emergency plan proposed for quick evacuation, ameliorative measures to be taken etc. The capability of lessee to meet such eventualities and the assistance to be required from the local authorities should be described. The shallow depth of activities in river bed mining will not involve any high risk accident due to side falls/collapse. The complete mining operation will be carried out under the Management and control of experienced and qualified Mines Manager having Certificate of Competency to manage the mines granted by DGMS. All the provisions of Mines Act 1952, MMR 1961 and Mines Rules 1955 and other laws applicable to mine will strictly be complied with. During heavy rainfall the mining activities will be closed. All persons in supervisory capacity will be provided with proper communication facilities. Proper coordination with Irrigation Department will be maintained so that at the time of releasing water, if any, from the dam suitable warning/information is given in advance .
6.4 OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH HAZARDS Dry- pit mining by open cast method involves dust generation by excavation, loading and transportation of mineral. At site, during excavation and loading activity, dust is main

pollutant which affects the health of workers whereas environmental and climatic conditions also generate the health problems. Addressing the occupational health hazard means gaining an understanding of the source (its location and magnitude or concentration), identifying an exposure pathway (e.g. a means to get it in contact with someone), and determination of likely a receptor (someone receiving the stuff that is migrating). Occupational hazard due to sand mining mainly comes under the physical hazards. Possible physical hazards are as below mention:-
6.4.1 PHYSICAL HAZRADS DUE TO MINING OPERATIONS Following health related hazards were indentified due to riverbed sand mining operations to the workers:- 1. Light: - The workers may be exposed to the risk of poor illumination or excessive brightness. The effects are eye strain, headache, eye pain and lachrymation, congestion around the cornea and eye fatigue. 2. Heat and Humidity: - The most common physical hazard is heat. The direct effects of heat exposure are burns, heat exhaustion, heat stroke and heat cramps; the indirect effects are decreased efficiency, increased fatigue and enhanced accident rates. Heat and humidity are encountered in hot and humid condition when temperatures and air temperatures increase in summer time up to 48 0C or above in the river bed mining area. 3. Eye Irritation: - During the high windy days in summer the sand could be the problems for eyes like itching and watering of eyes. 4. Respiratory Problems: - Large amounts of dust in air can be a health hazard, exacerbating respiratory disorders such as asthma and irritating the lungs and bronchial passages. 5. Noise Induced Hearing Loss: - Machinery is the main source of noise pollution at the mine site.
6.4.2 MANAGEMENT Particulars Control Mea sures Heat & Light The mine site will have adequate drinking water supply so that workers do not get dehydration. Lightweight and loose fitting clothes having light colors will be preferred to wear. Rigorous exercise and more physical activities will be avoided in hot weather. Noise Noise exposure measurements will be taken to determine the need for noise control

Figure 6.1: Drainage and Watershed Map of Tehsil- Baswa, Dausa-District
6.5.1 DANDY - BOLTON EQUATION Dandy Bolton formula is often used to calculate the sedimentation yield. But use of these equations to predict sediment yield for a specific location would be unwise because of the wide variability caused by local factors not considered in the equations development. However, they may provide a quick, rough approximation of mean sediment yields on a regional basis for preliminary planning. The accuracy of the sedimentation surveys varied, ranging from reconnaissance type measurements of sediment deposits to detailed surveys. Dandy- Bolton determined the combined influence of runoff and drainage area on sediment yield to compute the sediment yield. They develop two equations i.e. for run off less than 2 inch and for run off more than 2 inch, which are given below:- For run off less than 2 inches (Q < 2 in)

PROJECT: - BAJRI MINE SECTION –VI – ADDITIONAL STUDIES APPLICANT: - AMAN SETHI DO CUMENT NO.: - EESPL/ AS/ 001/ 150 – EC/ Mine/ 2013
For run off more than 2 inches (Q > 2 in):
Where: S = Sediment yield (tons/ mi 2/ yr) Sr = Reference sediment yield value = 1645 tons/ mi2/ yr Q = Mean Annual runoff (inch) Qr = Reference Mean Annual runoff = 2 in A = Net drainage area (mi 2) Ar = Reference Net drainage area = 1 mi2 The calculation of catchment area is based on SRTM data processed using ARCGIS software. The mean annual rainfall of Bhilwara district is 566 mm as per Monsoon 2013 Report, Water Resource Department, Govt. of Rajasthan. The total run off which will contribute in sediment yield will be considered as 75% of total rainfall i.e. 356 mm. The computations for total annual suspended and bed load sediment yield are given below:- Sediment Yield:- For run off less than 2 inches (Q < 2 in)
For run off more than 2 inches (Q > 2 in)
Where: Q (in) = Mean Annual run off = 411 mm = 16.19 inch A (mi 2) = Catchment area= 4,032.4 Km2 = 1,556.89 mi 2 Sediment Yield, S (tonnes/yr) = 1965 e - 0.055Q [1.43-0.26 log (A)] S= 1965 e-0.055 x 16.19 [1.43 - 0.26 log (1556.89)] S = 7,53,591 tonnes/year The area about 4,032.4 Km 2 is representing the catchment area of the Banganga River and its tributaries in Baswa Tehsil, Dausa district. The lease area of proposed mine stretches in a length of around 163.6 Km. Thus, around 7,53,591 tonnes/ year sediment will be regenerated every year in the catchment area as replenishment against the mined out quantities. The hypothetical derivation of replenishment data is not supported by any ground evidence as the same can be derived only after annual study due to inconsistent rains in Rajasthan. The derived replenishment data is based on macro-watershed data taken from satellite imagery with sample ground truthing and annual average rainfall. The data

works out to be around 14% which after detailed study will show some divergence. The data derived is based on SRTM 30 m r esolution processed using ARCGIS software with linear and resolution factors affecting the derivation. In addition to this, a preliminary replenishment study on River Banas was carried out by Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Roorkee on dated 18 th – 19 th June, 2014 by Prof. Z. Ahmed, Professor, Civil Engineering Department, IIT Roorkee. After this preliminary study, it has been concluded that “the intervening catchment of the Banas River i.e., from downstream of Bisalpur dam to the confluence of Banas River with Chambal River shall contribute sand to the Banas River through soil erosion and replenish the River if the sand from the river shall be lifted/ mined.” In the light of above observation, a comprehensive replenishment study is envisaged during the rainy season at least for few continuous years as the river is seasonal not perennial to understand the pattern and potential of sedimentation and replenishment.
6.6 TRAFFIC STUDY A traffic study is an investigation to evaluate a transportation system. The study is a means of identifying and documenting any deficiencies or improvements both- operational and physical - necessary to accommodate current or projected traffic volumes. Traffic impact study can be used to help evaluate whether the development is appropriate for a site and what type of transportation improvements may be necessary. It will help:- To establish the existing trips/ day without the project activity; To understand the increment on the traffic load due to the project activity; To know the existing road will sustain or not after the commission of the project.

7.0 PROJECT BENEFITS
7.1 GENERAL The demand of Bajri has been rising in the state as a result of rising in construction activities and development of the proposed project aims to fulfill the supply of Bajri. Hence, the fine quality of mineral will be used further for development. The sediment in the form of river bed material (RBM) deposited is of critical importance in civil and other infrastructural activities. The proposed project lies on the river beds of Banganga, Sanwan and Palasan Rivers. The quality of Bajri is fine and appropriate for the mega infrastructural activities. The demand for Bajri is ever growing with the growth of the infrastructure sector in our country. The mineral is used mainly in the construction activities like buildings, bridges etc. The requirement for the mineral is always high in the nearby cities and towns. Therefore, there is always a good demand of the mineral in the domestic market. The local region demand is increasing; hence newer areas for Bajri reserves are approached. The apparent domestic demand for Bajri is estimated at 125 million tonnes by 2013-14 which will rise to 165 million tonnes in 2015-16. The capacity of proposed project is 5.60 million tonnes. Hence, the proposed project aims to fill the demand – supply gap through optimum allocation and excavation of natural resources required to meet the demand effectively in the local region. This will also generate much needed employment to the local people. Economy of the area will get a boost and there will be overall growth of the region in terms of education, health, training, transport, automobile, industry. The standard of living accordingly will also get an upliftment on the positive side.

9.5.4 HEALTH AND SANITATION Periodical medical checkup of workers is being done and medical facility provided. Toilets and urinals will be provided near the mine site. Drinking water will be made available to the workers. 9.6 ADDITIONAL STUDIES 9.6.1 PUBLIC HEARING Public hearing will be conducted as per the guidelines of EIA Notification 14 th September, 2006 and its subsequent amendments. Issues raised during the public hearing will be addressed along the budgetary provision with action plan will be incorporated during the final submission of EIA / EMP Report.
9.6.2 REPLENISHMENT STUDY Replenishment Rate is the rate at which sand / gravel is transported into the river channel, which is under examination or subjected to sand extraction. This volume is often considered as sustainable yield of that river. Dandy - Bolton equations are often used to calculate the sedimentation yield. The formula uses catchment area and mean annual runoff as key determinants to give a yield value. These equations include all types of sediment yield (sheet and rill erosion, gully erosion, channel bed and bank erosion and mass movement). Annual sediment deposition was calculated by using Dandy - Bolton Equations. The total annual suspended and bed load sediment yield is computed and found around 7,53,591 tonnes / year. Thus, about 7,53,591 tonnes sediment will be regenerated every year in the catchment area as replenishment against the mined out quantities.
9.6.3 RISK ASSESSMENT & MANAGEMENT Risk analysis is the systematic study of uncertainties and risks encountered in various areas. Risk analysts seek to identify the risks involved in mining operations, to understand how and when they arise, and estimate the impact (financial or otherwise) of adverse outcomes. It also defines and analyzes the dangers to individuals, businesses and government agencies posed by potential natural and human-caused adverse events. However, there are various factors, which can create unsafe working conditions / hazards in mining of Bajri (minor minerals) from river bed. The following types of hazards are identified during the Bajri mining operations:- 1. Accident during sand/mineral loading, transportation and dumping 2. Accident due to vehicular movement

9.9 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN Environmental Management Plan (EMP) aims at the reservation of ecological system by considering in – built pollution abatement facilities at the mine site. Some of the major criteria governing the environmental measures will be adopted.
9.9.1 LAND USE MANAGEMENT To minimize the adverse effects, the following suggestions have been made. Bajri will not be excavated within 45 m of any rail/ road bridge. Safety zone of about 45 m on each side of the bridge has been earmarked. No workings will be extended in this zone. 7.5 m offset will also be left against the banks to protect side collapse / scouring and riparian vegetation A safety zone of 45.0 m radius is being earmarked for the wells located in the river bed. Regular visual observations will be made for erosion of river banks. Any irregular or abnormal condition, if observed will be taken care of. The banks will be revamped before the monsoon and during the suspension of mining activity. Soil samples collected from strategic locations and analysis will be done once in every two years with regard to poisonous constituents, if any. To prevent erosion, moving the road or footpath will be kept away from the river’s edge. Care will be taken to ensure that ponding is not formed in the river bed
9.9.2 WATER POLLUTION MANAGEMENT Some of the control measures adopted for controlling water pollution are as follows:- Based on results from monitoring corrective regulatory measures will be taken. Measurement of water level fluctuations to assess impact of mining activity on the water table depletion in close proximity of dug wells and bore wells. Rainwater harvesting has been proposed which has been accepted world wide as cost-effective methods for augmenting ground water resources and for arresting/reversing the declining trends of ground water levels.

Regular monitoring and analysis of water samples at strategic locations will be carried out to monitor the water quality. Domestic waste water will be treated by Modular STP and treated water will be used in dust suppression.
9.9.3 AIR POLLUTION MANAGEMENT Following mitigation measures are envisaged:- The speed of the vehicles will be maintained uniform. Regular pollution checks and certification of vehicles will be done. Limited number of mine-related vehicle will be maintained on the public roadways to reduce the traffic to minimize impacts on local people. The loaded vehicles will be covered with tarpaulin. Over loading will be avoided and free board will be left in the loaded trucks to prevent spillage. The roads will be maintained. Regular cleaning will be done to reduce the chances of road dust to become airborne. Water sprinkling will be done on a fixed stretch of paved road passing through the villages. Natural barriers will be developed along the roadside to control the dispersion of dust particles. Fixed transportation routes will be decided to transport the sand and will be maintained properly. The use of unimproved roads will be limited to emergency use only. Speed breakers will be constructed to restrict the speed of transporting vehicles. However, limiting of vehicular speed will be adopted. Regular monitoring and analysis will be carried out through collection of air samples from strategic monitoring sites. If the parameters go beyond the permissible tolerance limits, corrective regulation measure will be taken.
9.9.4 NOISE POLLUTION MANAGEMENT The following control measures are to be undertaken to bring down the noise levels:- Noise barriers will be constructed to control the noise pollution. Noisy activities will be scheduled at normal working hours (day time hours) to the extent possible when the environment is least sensitive to noise impact.
