For

Shri Jodh Singh

Khasra No. 12 Kha Village Musahibpur Majri, Tehsil Laksar, District Haridwar

Environment Management Plan

• Purpose of the Report

The mining activities shall be done for construction of pond with length 172.5m and width 79m. The height of the pond shall restricted to 3m. The pond shall be used for fishery activities.

• Project description

Project site is located at Khasra No. 12 Kha, Village Musahibpur Majri, Tehsil Laksar, District Haridwar. The total available area of 1.3450 Hectares for construction of pond. Location Details S.No Particulars Details 1. Location Musahibpur Majri 2. District Haridwar 3. State Uttarakhand 4. Latitude 290 45’ 04.3” N 5. Longitude 780 08’ 52.1” E 6.

Ecologically sensitive areas Rajaji National Park (National parks/Wild life Rajaji National Park (Chandi Hill) sanctuaries/Biosphere Rajaji National Park (Chila Range) Reserves) 12. Project Area 1.3450 Hectares

• Proposed Method of Mining Surface Mining: Mining will be carried out only up to a depth of 3.0 meter, therefore only hand tools like shovel, pan and sieve etc will be used.

• Employment Potential This project operation will provide livelihood to the poorest section of the society. It provides employment to the people residing in vicinity.

Environment Management Plan

• Impact on Water Environment The abstraction of water from ground shall be done once, there after only make water is required.

• Impact on Air Environment The dust generated is insignificant as compared to mining process of other hard minerals like the process of drilling, blasting, mechanized loading etc.

• Noise and vibration Environment. As there will be no heavy earth moving machinery, there will not be any major impact on noise level due to mining and other association activities. Blasting technique will not be used for lifting, hence no possibility of land vibration. The mining activity will not have any significant impact on the noise environment of the region.

• Biological Environment. The mining activity will have insignificant effect on the existing flora and fauna.

• Socio-Economic Environment This project will provide employment to the people residing in vicinity. Approximately 5-8 people will be benefited by the project. Only local labor will be used for the proposed pond construction activities.
