APPENDIX-4 Sustainable Sand Mining Management Guidelines-2016, MoEF, Gol PREFACE The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change vide its notification Dated 15.01.2016, has made provisions for constitution of District Level Environment Impact Assessment Authority (DElAA) under sub section & 3 of section-3 of section-3 of Environment (Protection Act 1986) for providing Environment Clearance for matters fll.11ing under category 'B2' for less than and 'i equal to 5 Hector for mining of minor minerals (REM, Sand, Bajari, Boulder, Soapstone, Silica sand etc.) The para 7 (iii) of the said notification provides for preparation of a District Survey Rep0l1 for sand mining of river bad mining and other minor mineral. The Appendix-X of the notification describes the procedure for preparation of District Survey Report The main objective of the preparation of District Survey Report is to insure identification of areas of aggradations or deposition where mining can be allowed, an identification of areas of erosion and proximity to infra structural structures an installation where mining should be prohibited an calculation of annual rate of replenishment allowing time for replenishment after mining in that area. Every efforts have been made to cover sand mining locations, areas & overview of mining activity in the district with all it's relevant features pe11aining to geology & mineral wealth in replenishable and non-replenishable area of rivers, stream and other sand sonrces. This report will be model and guiding document which is a compendi'um of available mineral resources, geographical set up, Environmental and ecological set up of the District and is based on data of various department, published repo11s, and Websites. The data may vary due to flood heavy rains and other natural calamites. Therefore, it is recornnlcnded that Sub Divisional Level Committee may take into consideration all its relevant aspects/data while scrutinizing and recommending the application in suitability of the site for mining or prohibition thereof-to the concemed Authority.
jr . /' ".l:!ii-' ,,' SURVEY REPORT OF DISTRICT DEHRADUN As per Gazette notification of 15 1h Jan1.!ary 20) 6 of Ministry of EnvirolUnent, Forest and Climate Change a Survey shall be can'ied out by the District EnvirolUnent Impact Assessment Authority (DElAA) with assistance of Irrigation Depm1ment, Forest Department, Mining Dep311ment and Revenue Department in the district for preparation of District Survey Report as per the sustainable Sand mining guidelines to insure identification of areas of aggradations or deposition where mining can be allowed; and identification of areas of erosion and proximity to infrastructuraI structures and installations where mining should be prohibited and calculation of aIU1Ual rate of replenishment and allowing time for replenishment after mining in that area. Every efforts have been made ' to cover sand , bajri and boulder mining location, areas & overview of Mining activity in the district with all it's relevant features peltaining to geology & mineral wealth in replenishable and non replenishable area of rivers. stream and other river bed minerals sources. The mineral potential is calculated based on field investigation & geology of the catchment area of the river or streams. Also as per the site conditions and locations, depth of minable mineral is defined. The area for removal of the mineral in a river or stream is decided depending on geomorphology & other factors like clay and silt are excluded as waste while calculating the mineral potential of palticular river or strean1. The District Survey Report shall form the basis for application for envirolUllent clearance, preparation of report and appraisal of projects. The repOlt shall be updated once every five years.

Overview of Mining Activity ill the District At present in district Dehradun, only riverbed mining activity is going on in River Yamuna, Tons, Song, Jakhan, Rispna, Assan, Soma, Nimee, Noon, Bindal, Sudhowala Khala, Bandal River, Nalota River, Narokhala, Amlaw River, Chandrabhaga River. The mining activity carried out in river bed does not involve any processes such as drilling, blasting and beneficiation. The mining process involves collection of material by simple hand tool such as shovel, pans and sieves. This is followed by sorting and manual picking, stacking and loading into trucks/tractor-trolley for transporting. The pits from where the material is picked are not deeper than 1.5m as allowed in mining area and shall follow the normal channel direction of the river. These get replenished dming monsoon. The only waste is si Itlclayey sand which are recycled back to the pits. Mining will be carried out only during the day time. Prior to any actual mining being done at the site, it is necessary to remove overburden from the top of the REM. Overburden is sandy soil or subsoil that is mainly composed of silty sand. Sandy soil will be kept separate and used on top of the berms once they have reached their final elevation. The berl11s have mUltiple purposes; they provide storage for overburden until tbe mine is reclaimed, they provide a visual batTier between the active mine and roads or adjoining properties, they screen light position should tbe mine be operated after dark and they act as a noise barrier. Once the overburden has been removed the sand is excavated depending upon the lithological variation. no blasting may be used to make the sand containing material more atllenable to excavation. Excavation is typicall)i perfomled by manual means. Hand operat~d tools like spade; tasla etc will be L1sed to collect tbe sand. The excavated material may be directly loaded into trucks, dumpers, tippers and tractors trolleys and send to the destination wherever it is required for construction and other purposes. Transportation of RBM from the mine is a process to deliver mined out material to the location where it is going to be collected. Mined out sand will manually-!)e 10acled:;'tHO truck and transported to its destination where it will ultimately be used. Sufficid~pace wilT-I-be left for loading of trucks. Excavation of river bed minerals will commence from the top surface of the area and commence towards down removing the minerals manually in 1.5m slices. Ultimate depth ofa bench will be 1.5111. Mining will be restricted upto a maximum depth of 1.5m only. 4 The mineral extraction will be done for a period of 245 days in a year. During this period the areas of mining quarry wil.1 be free from submergence. During mining operation tbe river flow will be away to enable dry pit mining. In tbe lease area the river flow being reduced and sediment load get deposited. During flood season, the area gets replenisbed with sediments and source of erosion at tlus location is comparatively less. The guidelines of the Ministry of Environment & Forests and Directorate of Geology and Mining will be followed; the most important is as under: • Dry pit mining will be followed wluch (peans mining an all times will be above the .flowing river water level. Mining activity will be immediately stopped when water comes in the mining pits. • R13M (sand, bajr; & boulder) will be collected in slices upto a depth of 1.5 m or river water levels whidlever less than prescribed. • Stream will not be diverted to form inactive channel. • Mining at the concave side of the river channel will be avoided to prevent bank erosion. • Mimng wilJ be restricted minimum 25% from river bank to lease boundary to minimize effect of river bank erosion and to avoid consequent channel migration. Plantation will be done on such area to isolate mining operation form the rest of the area. • Area of mining lease will be demarcated prior to mining and pillars will be erected on ground. • No mining operations shall be carried out In proximity of any bridge and or embankment. • Working will be during day-time only; i.e. sumise to sunset only; • No constructions will be done at site except for construction of initial temporary shelter houses. • No water~ake from riyer will be done. Water will be supplied by tankers from outside sources. • No macJlineries will be used. • Mining will be completely stopped during monsoon season. 5 3.

Gcncl"al Profile of the District Nestled in the mountain ranges of the Himalaya, Dehradun is one of the oldest cities of India and is recently declared as the Provisional Capital of newly created Uttaranchal (Now Uttarakhand) State in the month of Nov'2000. Also k.nown as the' Adobe of Drona', Dehradun has always been an important center for Garhwal rulers which were captured by the British. 'The headquarters of many National Institutes and Organizations lik.e ONGC, Survey Of India, Forest Research Institute, Indian Institute of Petroleum etc are located in the city. Some of the premier educational and Training Institutes like Indian Miltary Academy, RIMC (Rashtriya Indian Military College), Indira Gandhi National Forest Academy (lGNFA), Lal Bahadur Shahstri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA) etc are also there in Dehradun. It is a favored tourist destination as it attracts tourists, pilgrims and enthusiasts from various walks of life to its serene environs. Add to this the abundance of special 13asmati rice, tea and leechi gardens which contribute in turning the city into a paradise. The district is named after its chief city Dehra Dun. Oeilla appears to be a corruption of dem signifying a temporary abode or camp. During the reign of Aurangzeb, Ram Rai, Guru of the Udasi Sikhs on being ordered by the Mughal king to retire to the wilderness of the Dun, had pitched his tents here in what is 110W the Khurbura locality of tbe town and has also built a temple near Dhanawala. Around these two sites, grew up the town popularly known as Dehra. The term dun or doon meallS the low lands at the foot of a mountain wnge, and as the bulk of the district lies in such a terrain, it justified the dun part of the name. Another derivation of the term dun is stated to be from Dronasillam, hermitage of Guru Oronacharya of iA.ahabharata fame, who sojourned for a season in the village ofDevara, situated near to Dehra to perform his devotions at 2. lonely spot. District Boundaries and other Details • The district is situated in the north-west corner of the state. • It is bounded on the n01111 and to somedistance in t~~l'"ti(west ~:.lhe district ~fUttarkashi, • [n the east by the district Tehri Garhwal and Pauri"Garhwal. • [n the south by the district of Saharan pur (Uttar Pradesh). • At its southern tip touching the boundary of district Ha6dwar. • Its western boundary adjoins the Sirnmr (Naban) district of Himachal Pradesh with the rivers Tons and Yamuna separating the two. 13 • Lies between 29 degrees 58' and 31 degrees 2' 30" nOlth latitudes and 77 degrees 34' 45" and 78 degrees 18' 30" east longitudes. • Total area of the district is 3088 sqkms. • Alti tude is 640 mts. (2100 ft) above sea level. 8, Land Utilization Pattcrn in the district: For'est, AgricultUl'c, Horticulture, Mining ctc, The land use pattern in any region is much influenced by the quality of available land resources, as by characteristics and intelplays of various environmental factors. Man, the ultimate eneticiary of these resonrces, who uses them in diverse ways and who is often responsible to transform the physical environment too, plays a significant role in this regard. Thus the land utilization system not only speaks about the availability or the richness of land resources in the prevailing environmental conditio,ns but also emit perception's on the socio-economic, cultural and technological perspectives of the various geographical regions. Maxirr..um land about 55.58 percent of the region comes under foresl that is one of the impol1ant resources of the area and plays an impOltant role of the economy by providing fuel, fodder, timber, and raw materials for various activities. Net sown area occupies 19.44 percent area of the area. However there is ereat va riation in the net sown area in this district which occupies only 11.3 percent in Chakrata block to 30.47 percent in Yikasnagar block. ,- - Ll L2 AREA Agricul t lire Crop land 762.94 Plantation 47.08 -- I Fallow 27.52 '-- Current ,Shifting cultivaTion - Barrenlunculturable/Westlands Salt Affected land - Guilied/ Ravinous Land - Scrub Land : .....l" j, 96.62 .,-/1: ,:' J~" , ..

Physiography & Regional Geology of the District The city of Dehradun mainly lies in Doon Valley and is at a varying height from 410m in Clement Town to above 600 m at Jakhan which is 4 km from the city. However, the general elevation is 450 m above sea level. Jakhan is the starting point of Lesser Himalayan Range that extends to Mussoorie and beyond. Jaul1sar Bawar bills in Dehradull District rises to 3700m above sea level. The hilly region of Mussoorie goes up to a height of 1870-2007 metres above sea level. The Doon valley contains the settlements including Raiwala, Haridwar, Nepali Farm, Doiwala, Harrawala, Dehradlln Herbe.tpur, Vikasnagar, Sabaspur, Rishikesh, Selakui, Raiwala and Sllbash Nagar, Clement Town. The district contains Rajaj i National Park which is home to several elephants, Benog Wildlife Sanctuary at Mussoorie & Asall Conservation Reserve {Asan Barrage}. The Doon valley has the Temi and Bhabar forests within it as well as the Shiwalik hills and Lesser Himalayan Range containing hill stations such as Mussoorie and Chakrata. The district is bordered by the Himalayas in the north, the Sivalik Hills to the south. the river Ganges to the east, and the Yamuna river to the west. Towns in the foothills of the mountain ranges include Mussoorie, Sahas~lflph:;a, Ch~{ia. Lahkhamondal, Gautam .--"" . Kund Chandrabani and Dakpathar. Thi s district is a'ivided into two major parts: the main city Dehradun surrounded by S hi valik and the Jaunsar Bavar. which is in the foothills of Himalayas. In the north and north west it borders on the district of Uttarkashi and in the east by Pauri. In the west, it is bordered by Yam un <1nagar disuic\ of Haryana and the Tons and Yamuna rivers. To the south are Haridwar and Uttar Pradesh's Saharanpur district. [6 Situated in the annals of Garhwal Himalaya, the district of Dehradun occupies the long techtonic ' Doon Valley' of the outer Himalaya. It lies within the Pre-Tertiary ranges of Lesser Himalaya to the north, and the Siwalik ranges of Outer Himalaya to the south. The Siwalik rocks have been folded into an overturned syncline, flanked by two anticlines. The syncline shape of Siwaliks has controlled the geomorphological development of Do on Valley CAuden, 1937). The terrain around Dehradun is fall of minor ridges and valleys. A prominent ridge lUns north south. Western part is washed by the river Tons, Noon Nadi and Asan, tributaries of Yamuna, flowing towards southwest and the eastern segment is drained by the WNW-ESE flowing river Suswa, a tributary of Ganga. Lithostratigraphy of the Upper Siwalik and Post-Siwalik sediment in Tons Valley is given below: AGE GEOLOGICAL LITHOLOGY UNITS/FORMATIONS Recent River Alluvium Loose unconsolidated materials of sand, silt and clay derived from Upper Siwalik and Lesser Hima- laya Sub Recent to Late Young Ooon Gravel Sub rounded boulder sand gravels of Pieistocene sandstone and qualtzite derived from Siwalik and Lesser Himalaya - Old Doon Gravel Big angular and sub-rounded boulders of quartzite and sand stones embedded in clay Unconformity Late Pliocene To Upper Siwalik Coarse boulders, conglomerates and Middle Mi ocene c lay ~ ~' . ,·. ."·t.. · ..,~, Middle Siwalik .~.> Hard and" sbft sandstone and clay ~ intercalation in pockets Lower Siwalik Hard sandstone, interbeded with mudstone 1-' Main Boundary Thrust Palaeocene to Subathu Formntion Red shale and lenticular bands of 17 ...," ..

These are overlain by Post-Siwalik sediments with a pronounced unconformity The Siwalik rocks constitute low ranges in this area, whereas the Post- Siwalik constitutes the older and newer ten'aces of the river Tons/Asan, The Quaternary part of the Upper Siwalik consists mainly of conglomerates with alternating sand and clay beds, The conglomerates contain pebble mainly of quartzite, slate, limestone, sandstone etc. embedded in a sandy matrix. The Old Ten'ace sediments contain boulder and gravel beds with smooth, but often cracked boulders mainly of quartzite, phyllite, schist, sandstone etc, embedded in coarse sandy matrix. Thcre are some bands of yellow and maroon clay along with some sandy and sandy horizon. These sediments generally lie horizontally. but occasionally show gentle southerly dips, The New Terrace sediments contain pebble and gravel horizons with unconsolidated material composed maillly of limestone, quartzite etc. There arc some brown coloured clay bends, which appear to be older Alluvium, These are usually placed horizontally, unconformably overlying the Old Terrace sediments. Sometimes, these even overlap the Old Terrace, and directly overlie the Siwalik and other Formation. These Post Siwalik sediments exhibit variable thicknesses, Tube well data show:;. a gradual increase in tbeir thickness from west to east In the western part of the area}~!i 6~d Ter~lis I and New Terrace is 36 m thick. In Lesser Himalayan Zone steeply sloping northern flank of the valley comprising rocks of the Lesser Himalayan Formations, such as quartzite, schist, slates, phyllites, hard sandstone, limestone and I dolomite of the ChandplIr, Nagthat, Blaini, Krol and Tal Formations and having secondary porosity and permeability and are characterised by springs and seepages, Though sedimentary in nature the t8 rocks have very low intergrainular porosity and are characterized by fissures, fracture and joints. The zones of lineament, faults and the Main Boundary Thrust show pockets of high secondary porosity. The groundwater/sub-surface water in this zone occurs largely as disconnected local bodies In favourably perched aquifers under both confined and unconfined conditions and also in zones of jointing, fracturing and faulting. Relatively flat areas and gently sloping grounds characterized by deep weathering, such as hill-tops, ridges, saddles, spurs and bulges of old landslide-debris, river terraces 5 and fluvial fans from the recharge area while steeper hill-slopes, 1 ( or 2,d order stream at slope breaks and scraps of fans are sites of discharges. The upper pOltions of the catchment areas are saucer-shaped. The springs in the rocks of the secondary porosity show great variability in yield even within short distances. The limestone and dolomite of the Krol FOlmation is characterized by cavities and solution channels oriented along WNW-ESE and NW-SE trending joints. The sand-gravel deposits of fluvial and coHuvial origin in the Lesser HimalaYan Zone lying in the lower reaches of the stream or near the confluence of two streams in the form of fan and terraces are highly porous and permeable and therefore, hold sufficient quantities of water. The soil cover of the study area was found to be mostly yellowish grey with some soils having brownish colour. The texture of the soil in the study area was found predominantly sandy clay loam in nature. In Synclinal central zone classified under piedmont zone occupied by the Ooon gravels, having primary porosity and permeability, is forming the main aquifer in the area. The groundwater is present in aquifers under unconfined and confined conditions. The course and gravels underlain by clay beds is the main water bearing strata. The zone is characterized by high infiltration rate. In Siwalik Zone the water is present under confined conditions and the water table is relatively deeper. It is between latitudes 29 °58' Nand 31 °2'N and longitudes 7r 34' E and 78° 18'E[II] This district consists of six tehsils - Oehradun, Chakrata, Vikasnagar, Kalsi, Tiuni and Rishikesh - six community deVelopment blocks - Vis, Chakrata, Kalsi,Vikasnagar, Sahaspur, Rajpur and Ooiwala - 17 towns and 764 villages. Out of these 746 villages are inhabited; 18 are uninhabited. 10. Climate: The climate of Oehradun is more temperate and humid than that of the adjoining districts, the maximum day and night temperatures being 3 to 6° C lower throughout the year. Only the months of May and J~ne are hot though these seldom oppressive. 19 The valley enjoys a salubrious climate almost throughout the year. The summer maxImum and millimum temperature vary from 36.6oC to minimum range between 23.40 and 5.2oC respectively. The . total annual rainfall is aboutlSOOmm of which bulk precipitates in the month of July-August. The district receives an average annual rain fall of 2073.3 mm. Most of the rainfall is received during the period from June to September, July and A~gust being the wettest months. The region around Raipur gets the maximum rainfall, while the southern part receives the least rainfall in the distlict. About 87% of the annual rainfall is received during the period June to September. The climatic average data for last 25years of Doon Valley is summarized below.

Geology and Mineral Wealth 111e synclinal trough shaped Doon Valley bounded by the rocks of the Lesser Himalayan fo rmations in north and Siwalik in south, forms a part of the sub-mountain region of the Garhwal Himalaya. Geologically the valley is di\'ided into: 1-Lesser Himalaya: The lesser Himalaya is extended towards the north-eastern part of the valley to the south eastern part of the valley. The oldest formation o.wp..e' g;oup is;:lhfbamta formation compris ing of slate, quartzite and turbidites are predominal).tly i;' the eastern part of the valley. This for mation overlaid by Chandpur formation comprising of phyllite, slate and limestone is well ex- posed in the north eastern and eastern part of the valley in a narrow band. Nagthat formation overlaid I Cbandpm formation comprising of Quartzite and slate is well dominated in the eastern pal"! of the valley. The next formation, Blaini formation is well exposed in the eastern and north eastern part of 20 the vaHey in a nan·ow band in the north eastern part of the valley. The Blaini formation is conformably overlaid by Krol formation comprising of dolomitic limestone, red shale sandstone and black shale found in the north-eastern part of the valley. The Krol rocks are over- laid by Tal formation well exposed in the north eastern paJi of the valley consisting of lower Tal and upper Tal. Upper Tal consists of white to pink coloured quartzite sandstone whereas the lower Tal consists of quartzites with sandstone and brown shale. The next formation is the Subathu formation comprising of red shale and lenticular bands of sandstone. But it is not well exposed in the vicinity of the study area. 2-The SiWlllik Group:- This group consists predominantly of fluvial sequences which were deposited during middle Miocene to late Pliocene period. It is further classified into Lower, Middle and Upper Siwalik. The Lower Siwalik is well exposed in the isolated outcrops in the northern part of the valley comprises of coarse grained sandstone interbeded with mudstone. The Middle Siwalik group can be distinguished by the presence of course boulder conglomerates and well exposed in the south eastern to south western part of the valley in a small patch in the north eastern paft of the valley. At many places in Ooon valley (nOlih-eastem p31i) these rocks are directly overlaid by Old Doon Gravels. The Upper Siwalik group can be distinguished by the presence of course boulders conglomerates. It conforn1ably lies over the middle Siwalik, and is well exposed at many places in the south western pali of the valley. 3-Doon Gravel: - The post Siwalik sediments are Ooon Gravels that can be further classified into Older Ooon Gravel, Younger Doon Gravel and Alluvium. Ooon Gravels originated due to erosional activity by the streams, which eroded the Siwalik formation as well as the pre leliiary rocks and (0 brought them the synclinal depression. . .~ .-"'. -:J ~!' _~~~'~' 'f,.h-". , Older Ooon gravel consists of rounded to sub rouhded upper Siwalik boulders and angular peb- bles of quartzites, slates and shale as well as limestone pebbles from the pre tertiary rocks like Nagthat, Chandpur, Tal and Krol formations. It lying unconformably over tl,e Middle and Upper Siwaliks and at plbces directly over Chandpur Phyllites (BmtaIya, 1995). It is exposed in the Ra- jpur hill forest in the northern part of Dehradun city and in Galiwari forest area west oflhe Rajpur forest. 21 Ymmgcr [)oon Gravels re~ting uncol1fcmnahly over the old noon Gravl'ls arc 22 hi22cterih'd b) ,<,r~ I M~~ houlders ~llO "foided river d~pOsi!s .

As per the site conditions and location, depth of minable mineral is defined. The area for removal of the mineral in a river or stream can be decided depending on geo-morphology and other factors, it can be 50 % to 60 % of the area of a pruiicular river or stream. PROCESS OF DEPOSITION OF SEDIMENTS TN THE RIVERS OF TRE DISTRICT The deposition in a river bed is more pronounced during rainy season although the quantum of deposition varies from stream to stream depending upon numbers of factors such as catchment, lithology. dischru'ge, river profile and geomorphology of the river course. Where annual deposition is much more even two to three meters, but it is noticed that during ,flood season whole of the pit so excavated is completely filled up and as such the excavate<;l, JS the annual deposition is raising the level of river bed thus causing shifting of the rivers towards banks resulting in to cutting of banks and at such locations, removal of this material upto the bed level is essential to control the river flow in its central part to check the bank cutting. While calculating the mineral potentials, the mineral deposits lying in the sub-tributaries of that particular stream/river has not been taken into consideration. Since these mineral deposits are adding annually to the main river, the mineral deposits will be much more. GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS/CONCLUSIONS During the preparation of the present report prominent rivers/ streams has been studied ill detail, as the rest of the streamslrivers either have very insignificant annual replenishment! approachability problem or are very narrow at most of the places and as such are not fit for grant of mineral, concession for mineral based industries, however it is also important to mention here that because of the regular demand of sand, boulder and bajri for the developmental activities in the respective areas, such 'streams are prone to illegal mining, It is suggested that the auctions of qualTies be done regularly to meet out the local demand subject to the approval from the joint lnspection. Committee as per Uttarakhand Minor Mineral Concession Rule, 2001. These mineral concessions shall also reduce demand load and will be helpful to minimize illegal extraction of minerals, failure of which may resuJt in to illegal mining at odd hours and shall be haphazard and more detrimental to tile local ecology. Irrespective of it following geo,scientific considerations are also suggested to be taken into accollnt during the river bed mining in a particular area: I. Abandoned stream channels or telTace and inactive floodplains may be preferred rather than active channels and their deltas and floodplains. 2. Stream should not be diverted to form inactive channel. 3. Mining below subterranean water level should be avoided as a safeguard against environmental contamination and over exploitation of rt)£OiJrces.· ".~"; ' ..' '>'-1, . 4. Large rivers and streams whose periodic sediment 1~tenishment capacities are larger, may be preferred than smaller rivers. S. Segments of braided river system should be used preferably falling within the lateral migration area of the river regime tbat enhances [he feasibility oflsediment replenishment. 6. Mining at the concave side of the river channel should be avoided to prevent bank erosion. Similarly meandering segment of a river should be selected for mining in such a way as to 36 avoid natural eroding banks and to promote m1l1ll1g on naturally building (aggrading) meander components. 7. Continued riverbed !l1aterial nUl1ll1g 111 a given segment of the river will induce seasonal scouring and intensify the erosion activity within the charmel. This will have an adverse effect not only within the mining area but also both in upstream and downstream of the river course. Hazardous effects of such scouring and enhanced erosion due to riverbed mining should be evaluated periodically and avoided for sustainable mining activities. 8. Mining area should be demarcated on the ground with Pucca pillars so as to avoid illegal m1l1ll1g. 9. The guidelines and norms as enshrined in the State mineral Policy, Rules, Acts, Enviromnent clearance and judgments of various Courts must be strictly complied with. 10. It is recommended that Sub Divisional Level Committee may visit it site and may take into consideration all its relevant aspects / data while scrutinizing and recommending the application on suitability of the site for mining or prohibition thereof to the concerned Authority. 37 APPENDIX INC, 001 : ~n'\R' Of .\ . nOIli RE~F.R\ E - , ,- " • , ..-, / - , .- " • _,.\ It-o , , ' '. ,- - -, .... , , , -..

INTRODUCTION The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) has been formulated and integrated with the mine planning to mitigate the adverse impacts which are likely to be caused due to the mining operation and for overall scientific development of local habitat. The EMP has, therefore, been developed considering its implementation and monitoring of environmental protection measures during mining operations. As per the letter issued from the District Mining Officer, Dehradun dated 27/02/2018, Two leases within the 500m radius formed a cluster with the 2 leases of River Yamuna, Namely Lot No 23/2 and M/s Shram Samvida Samiti of Sand, Bajri and Boulder Mining Project, District Dehradun, Uttarakhand and the total area of the cluster is 41.313 ha with two leases. As per the EIA Notification dated 1st July, 2016, a cluster shall be formed when the distance between the peripheries of one lease is less than 500 meters from the periphery of other lease in a homogeneous mineral area which shall be applicable to the mine leases or quarry licenses granted on and after 9th September, 2013. (Ref: Clause (B) (i), Page No-4 in EIA Notification dated 1st July, 2016) or The leases not operative for three years or more and leases which have got environmental clearance as on 15th January, 2016 shall not be counted for calculating the area of cluster but shall be included in the Environment Management Plan and the Regional Environmental Management Plan.” (Ref: Note 5, Page No-5 in EIA Notification dated 1st July, 2016). Therefore in this Environmental Management Plan, cumulative environmental impacts and their mitigation measures of all the two mining projects have been discussed. 2. MINING PROCESS Mining will be done as per the guidelines of Uttarakhand Mineral Policy, 2011 and guidelines of Uttarakhand Minor Mineral Concession Rules, 2001. This is an open-cast mining project. The operation will be entirely manual with use of hand tools like shovel, pan, sieves, pick axes, etc. The minerals will be collected in its existing form and the sand will be separated from bajri and boulders by sieving process. Mining will be done leaving a safety distance from the banks i.e. 15% of the width of the river will be left for bank stability from both the banks. 1 CUMULATIVE EMP The deposit will be mined out from the surface of the bed upto 1.5m bgl or above ground water level, whichever comes first. Hence, at no point of time mining will intersect with ground water table. Mining will be done only during the day time and completely stopped during the monsoon season. Mining will not be done inside stream till it is allowed as per rules. SCHEMATIC REPRESENTATION OF SITE ELEVATION, WORKING DEPTH & GROUND WATER RESERVE (AVAILABLE QUANTUM) AND PRODUCTION (EXTRACTABLE QUANTUM) The sediments proposed to be extracted are sand, bajri & boulder which are generally found in the river bed in the lease area. The sediments like sand/bajri along with silt & clay are brought into the bed through transport from the catchment area, are referred as “Wash Load”. And the sediments which are in continuous contact with bed, carried forward by rolling/sliding are referred to as “Bed Load”. 2 CUMULATIVE EMP Reserve (Available Quantum): The already existing quantity at the river bed in the lease area due to fresh depositions has been considered to be the quantum of mineral available (Reserve) which may be mined out. In order to calculate this quantity, the lease area has been considered with an ultimate depth of 1.5 meter from the surface (excluding the boulder available on the surface). For the reserve tonnage estimation, the reserve quantity is multiplied with the bulk density of 2 tonnes per cum (for mixed sand and bajri). The Geological Reserve for the cluster has been estimated 10, 97,775.15 tonnes. The Mineable Reserve for the cluster has been estimated to 8, 78,220.15 tonnes. Production (Extractable Quantum): However considering the factors such as geological disturbances, volume that cannot be mined due to flow of water and also considering the safety factor, approximately 4, 50,000 tonnes has been considered to as production or the extractable quantity from the mineable area for grant of Environmental Clearance. The amount of sand & bajri in the total extractable quantum is assumed to be around 70-80%, which is likely to be replenished due to sediment inflow, gradually during the monsoon seasons. Of the quantum of minerals which will be excavated, only sand & bajri is replenishable. Boulders which may roll or come into the lease area during high flow velocity of water or during floods. The quantum of replenishable amount for the purpose of EIA i.e. the wash load will be obtained by using widely acceptable sediment yield calculation method i.e. “Dendy-Bolton Formula”. Thus the extractable quantum in the first year would be limited to the available quantum. The extractable amount for the further years may vary depending on amount/rate of actual replenishment which is to be monitored by expert agencies every year. Process: The individual mineable area will be demarcated with pillars after leaving the safety zone for bank stability. 1. Mining will be carried out only up to a depth of 1.5m, using hand tools like shovel, pan, sieve etc. only during the day time. 3 CUMULATIVE EMP 2. Mining operations will be carried out in non-monsoon season only, so that the excavated area of the particular year gets replenished during the subsequent year. 3. The mining in the either area will be started from the downstream and from the middle of the cross-section towards the upstream side. 4. After the first layer is excavated, the process will be repeated for the next layers.

Precautionary measures will be taken and in disaster management, it will be considered to avoid the impending effects on the workers at the site if the disaster happens to occur. Earth Quake: The lease area falls in seismic zone IV which is prone to earthquakes as shown below. Land slide: The area lies in low landslide zone as per the mapping shown here. Disaster Management 9 CUMULATIVE EMP At present Disaster Mitigation & Management Centre is working as autonomous institute under aegis of Department of Disaster Management Government of Uttarakhand and Disaster Mitigation and Management Centre (DMMC) is the apex center in the field of Disaster Mitigation & Management in Uttarakhand, to protection of the community and the environment from the over whelming obliteration caused by disasters. (Source: dmmc.uk.giv.in) District Level Cell and State Level Cell are to take timely precautionary measures to avoid effects of impending disasters. The State Level Cell will be in continuous touch with State Govt. to pass on message like heavy rainfall etc. as received from IMD and take precautionary action to prevent any consequential disaster. A Nodal Officer at State Level Cell will be made in charge for the timely dissemination of the information & monitoring to the District Level Cells. “Disaster Warning System” as developed will be strictly implemented. Identification of nearby hospitals with route & contact number for emergency assistance. Evacuation plan for the workers at site including contract labours will be developed in nearby shelters. “Emergency Helpline Number” will be displayed at all levels. Disaster Management Plan prepared by The State Disaster Management Authority Uttarakhand will be followed and the contact numbers of the person responsible who will execute the work during disaster. 5. SALIENT FEATURES OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (EMP) Following Environmental Measures are proposed for this mining project to mitigate the impact during the mining operation. 5.1 land Environment 10 CUMULATIVE EMP Land-Use/ land cover pattern of the study area delineating all the features has been studied through satellite imagery. The entire land use of the proposed area is a river bed which lies on River Yamuna. The land use of the study area is tabulated below: Table 3.1: Land Use cover of the project study area S. No. Description Area in Ha % share in total area 1 Open land 1,793.67 5.04 2 River 262.77 0.74 3 Agricultural land 6,108.32 17.16 4 Agricultural Fallow Land 1,694.20 4.76 5 Settlement 580.20 1.63 6 Vegetation 397.03 1.12 7 Forest 23,779.90 66.79 8 River with Dry Channel 923.28 2.59 9 Water Bodies 64.82 0.18 Total 35,604.19 100 There will be no diversion or modification of any land use due to the mining activity. 5.1.1 Impact on land use & reclamation of mined out areas The proposed extraction of streambed materials, mining below the existing streambed, and alteration of channel-bed form and shape may lead to several impacts such as erosion of channel bed and banks, increase in channel slope, and change in channel morphology if, the operations are not carried out systematically. The mining and allied activities involved in river bed mining result in creation of temporary haul roads and formation of mined pits inside river, etc. affecting the landuse pattern. In this project, silt and clay are also produced as a constituent of the River-Bed Material, which are considered to be waste. Anticipated Impacts: Undercutting and collapse of river banks. Excessive and unscientific riverbed material mining is a threat to bridges, dams and nearby structures. River bank cutting and erosion. Upstream erosion as a result of an increase in channel slope and changes in flow velocity. 11 CUMULATIVE EMP Downstream erosion due to increased carrying capacity of the stream Downstream changes in patterns of deposition. Changes in channel bed and habitat type. Mitigation measures: Since the project is mainly for sand, bajri and boulder excavation (soil deficient), no loss of top soil is involved. The silt and clay generated as waste will be used for plantation or filling up low lying area elsewhere. Mining will be done leaving a safety distance from the banks i.e. 15% of the width of the river will be left for bank stability from both the banks. In this activity, the work is proposed to be done manually which will avoid adverse effects associated with heavy machinery and their functioning. The mining is planned in non-monsoon seasons only, so that the excavated area gets replenished during the monsoon each year. Grasses and bushes which have fibrous roots at the first instance are proposed to grown along the banks which enhances the binding properties of the soil. Hence protecting the banks. The systematic and scientific removal of sand, bajri and boulder will not cause bed degradation. Restoration of bank will be ensured at the end of mine closure every year. 5.1.2. Solid waste generation and management The silt and clay generated as waste will be used for plantation or filling up low lying area elsewhere. No discard of food, polythene waste etc. will be allowed in the lease area which would distract/attract the wildlife. 6. AIR ENVIRONMENT Emission of fugitive dust is envisaged due to: 12 CUMULATIVE EMP i. Mining Activities includes excavation and lifting of minerals. The whole process will be done manually. Therefore the dust generated is likely to be insignificant as compared to mining processes involving drilling, blasting, mechanized loading etc. ii. Transportation of minerals will be done by road using trucks. Fugitive dust emission is expected from the transportation of trucks on the haul roads. Evaluation of fugitive dust emission has been done by using line source model as given below: Anticipated impacts and evaluation Information on air quality studied by line source modeling techniques predicted that the mining activity will not affect the air quality in a significant manner. In mining operations, loading, transportation and unloading operations may cause deterioration in air quality due to handling the material. There is no other source of air pollution as there is no boiler, DG Set or furnace. Only source of air pollution is re-suspension dust from the movement of trucks to and from the mining site. Air pollution prediction from 201 additional trucks per day on single road transport network across road is shown below. It is observed that the ground level concentration (GLC) decreases from 65.76 µg/m3 at 25m from the center line of the road to 6.19µg/m3 at 500m from the center line of the road. These values have been predicted for a dry unpaved road. These values have been 13 CUMULATIVE EMP predicted for a dry unpaved road. The GLC at 25m will further reduce down to 17.10µg/m3 and 1.61µg/m3 at 500m through water sprinkling. Mitigation and Control measures of Fugitive Emissions The collection and lifting of minerals will be done manually. Therefore the dust generated is likely to be insignificant as there will be no drilling & blasting. The only air pollution sources are the road transport network of the trucks. The mitigation measures like the following will be resorted: • Use of Personal Protection Equipment’s (PPE) like dust masks, ear plugs etc. by the mine workers. • Regular water sprinkling on haul roads & loading points will be carried out. • Development of green belt/plantation around the lease boundary, roads etc. • Ambient Air Quality Monitoring will be conducted on regularly basis to assess the quality of ambient air. • Speed limits will be enforced to reduce airborne fugitive dust from vehicular traffic. • Spillage from the trucks will be prevented by covering tarpaulin over the trucks. • Deploying PUC certified vehicles to reduce their emissions. • Proper tuning of vehicles to keep the gas emissions under check. 7. WATER ENVIRONMENT Anticipated Impacts: Mining of sand from within or near a river bed has a direct impact on the physico- chemical habitat characteristics. These characteristics include in stream roughness elements, depth, velocity, turbidity, sediment transport and stream discharge. Altering these habitat characteristics can have deleterious impacts on both in-stream biota and associated riparian habitat. The detrimental effects, if any, to biota resulting from bed material mining are caused by following: 1. Alteration of flow patterns resulting from modification of the river bed. 2. An excess of suspended sediment. 3. Damage to riparian vegetation and in-stream habitat. The disturbance activities can also disrupt the ecological diversity in many ways. 14 CUMULATIVE EMP Mitigation measures Project activity will be carried out only in the dry part of the river bed. Hence, none of the project activities affect the water environment directly. In the project, it is not proposed to divert or truncate any stream. No proposal is envisaged for pumping of water either from the river or tapping the ground water. In the lean months, the proposed sand mining will not expose the base flow of the river and hence, there will not be any adverse impact on surface hydrology. The deposit will be worked from the top surface up to a maximum depth of 1.5m below ground level or above the ground water table whichever comes first. Hence mining will not affect the ground water regime as well. Further mining will be completely stopped during the monsoon seasons to allow the excavated area to regain its natural profile. 8. NOISE ENVIRONMENT The proposed mining activity is manual in nature. No drilling & blasting is envisaged for the mining activity. Hence the only impact is anticipated is due to movement of vehicles deployed for transportation of minerals. Anticipated Impacts: Mental disturbance, stress & impaired hearing. Decrease in speech reception & communication. Distraction and diminished concentration affecting job performance efficiency The noise level in the working environment are compared with the standards prescribed by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA-USA) which has been adopted and enforced by the Govt. of India through model rules framed under Factories Act, 1980 and CPCB 2000 norms. The summary of the permissible exposures in cases of continuous noise as per above rules is given below: Damage Risk Criteria for Hearing Loss OSHA Regulations Maximum allowable Sound pressure Remarks duration per day in hour dB(A) 15 CUMULATIVE EMP (1) (2) (3) 8.0 90 1. For any period of 6.0 92 exposure falling in between any figure and 4.0 95 lower figure as indicated 3.0 97 in column (1), the 2.0 100 permissible sound is to be determined by 1 ½ 102 extrapolation or 1 105 proportionate scale. ¾ 107 2. No exposure in excess of 115 dB(A) is ½ 110 permissible. ¼ 115 Noise at lower levels (sound pressure) is quite acceptable and does not have any bad effect on human beings, but when it is abnormally high- it incurs some maleficent effects. Mitigation measures The following measures have been envisaged to reduce the impact from the transportation of minerals: 1. The vehicles will be maintained in good running condition so that noise will be reduced to minimum possible level. 2. In addition, truck drivers will be instructed to make minimum use of horns in the village area and sensitive zones. 3. No such machinery is used for mining which will create noise to have ill effects. 4. Awareness will be imparted to the workers about the permissible noise levels & maximum exposure to those levels 9.

Plant species of RET category were not observed in the area. On the other hand plantation is proposed around the boundary of the lease area as a part of restoration works. Anticipated Impacts: Excessive and unscientific riverbed sand mining results in the destruction of aquatic and riparian habitat through large changes in the channel morphology. Access roads crossing the riparian areas will have impact on the species disturbing the ecosystem. Mining may drive away the wild life from their habitat, and significantly affect wildlife and nearby residents. Diminution of the quality and quantity of habitat essential for aquatic and riparian species. Reduction in the yield of agriculture due to deposition of dust on the leaves, etc. of the crops. Fragmentation of wildlife habitat and blocking of migratory paths/corridors. Isolation may lead to local decline of species, or genetic. Mining on the streambed, braided flow or subsurface inter-sand flow may hinder the movement of fishes between pools. Mitigation measures As the proposed mining will be carried out in a scientific manner, not much significant impact is anticipated, however, the following mitigation measures will be taken to further minimize it: 1. No mining will be carried out during the monsoon season to minimize impact on aquatic life which is mainly breeding season for many of the species. 2. As the mining site has no vegetation, no clearance of vegetation will be done. 3. Prior to closure of mining operations / during the rainy season the eroded bank will be restored / reclaimed to minimize negative impacts on aquatic habitats. 4. Haul roads will be sprinkled with water which would reduce the dust emission, thus avoiding damage to the crops. 23 CUMULATIVE EMP 5. Mining will be carried out on the dry part of the lease area to avoid disturbance to the aquatic habitat and movement of fish species. 6. No discard of food, polythene waste etc. will be allowed in the lease area which would distract/attract the wildlife. 7. No night time mining will be allowed which may catch the attention of wild life. 8. If wildlife are noticed crossing the area, they will not be disturbed at all. 9. Workers will be made aware of the importance to the wildlife and signage will be displayed at the sensitive areas to caution the workers & other passerby. 10. Access roads will not encroach into the riparian zones and if any riparian vegetation cleared off for the mining activity will be restored at the end of closure of mine. Green Belt The area is basically agricultural. It is therefore deficient in trees. The mining activities will be concentrated on cultivated fields. Therefore no flora shall be disturbed due to mining & allied activities. List of proposed plant species to be planted for greenbelt development in the surroundings of lease area are given as follows: List of Plant Species for Greenbelt Development S.
