(II) Activity 1. Construction, operation or decommissioning of the Project involving actions, which will cause physical changes in the locality (topography, land use, changes in water bodies, etc.) S. N. Information/Checklist confirmation Yes / Details thereof (with approximate No quantities / rates, wherever possible) with source of information data 1.1 Permanent or temporary change in No Land use & Land cover: The status of land use, land cover or topography the mine lease area is a private land including increase in intensity of land lying near river bed of Mandakini. No use (with respect to local land use change in the land use of mine lease plan) area is envisaged as the existing land use category is river bed being a shoal deposit stretch of Mandakini River. This shall continue to be so even after mining operations cease. The existing land cover pertains to waste land with deposits of Minor Minerals viz. Sand / Boulder/Bajri. Topography: The mine lease area lies in the river bed and is a part of plain topography in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand. Highest & Lowest Elevation in the area is 890 m AMSL to 892 m AMSL. During the entire lease period, the mining of minor minerals will be carried out from the top surface to 1.0 m BGL; therefore No change in topography shall take place. 1.2 Clearance of existing land, vegetation No -- and buildings? 3 Extraction / Collection of Minor Minerals (Sand, Bajri & Boulders) near Mandakini River Bed (ML Area FORM-1 1.291 Hectare) at Village – Giwari Gaon (Parkandi), Tehsil Ukhimath, District Rudraprayag, Uttarakhand. 1.3 Creation of new land uses? No As the lease area is located in the River bed and shall continue to be so even after abandonment/ closure of mine. 1.4 Pre-construction investigations e.g. No Proposed Project is for mining of Sand/ bore houses, soil testing? Bajri & Boulder already lying near river bed and conspicuously visible and being replenished on yearly basis. 1.5 Construction works? No -- 1.6 Demolition works? No -- 1.7 Temporary sites used for construction No Local labour will be deployed for works or Housing of construction mining work. workers? 1.8 Above ground buildings, structures or No -- earthworks including linear structures, cut and fill or excavations 1.9 Underground works including mining No -- or tunneling. 1.10 Reclamation works. No No reclamation works of mine is involved in the proposed mining activity as the shoals created in the river bed get replenished during Monsoon Season. 1.11 Dredging? No -- 1.12 Offshore structures? No -- 1.13 Production and Manufacturing Yes The Opencast Mining Process for Processes? extraction of minor mineral (river bed material) primarily involves Scooping the mineral through use of hand implements like Spade, Pick Axe and Tool Bars etc. 1.14 Facilities for storage of goods or No -- materials? 1.15 Facilities for treatment or disposal of No No solid waste other than negligible solid waste or liquid effluents? quantity of silt/silty clay, which gets deposited as crust material on the bed profile, shall be generated. This will be deposited into the mine area. 1.16 Facilities for long term housing of No Not applicable, Only local workers will operational workers? be deployed. 4 Extraction / Collection of Minor Minerals (Sand, Bajri & Boulders) near Mandakini River Bed (ML Area FORM-1 1.291 Hectare) at Village – Giwari Gaon (Parkandi), Tehsil Ukhimath, District Rudraprayag, Uttarakhand. 1.17 New road, rail or sea traffic during Yes Nearest Road is Kund to Rudraprayag construction or operation? Road (NH-109 – 70 Km E) which has an existing traffic load of approx. 10 Trucks per hour. Due to transportation of excavated material, an additional load of 1-2 truck per hour on the existing traffic is expected which is not very significant. 1.18 New road, rail, air, waterborne or No The existing road and rail facility is other transport infrastructure including adequate for meeting additional traffic new or altered routes and stations, intensity during operational phase of the ports, airports. etc.? mine. 1.19 Closure or diversion of existing No -- transport routes or infrastructure leading to changes in traffic movements? 1.20 New or diverted transmission lines or No -- pipelines? 1.21 Impoundment, damming, culverting, No In view of changes to the hydrology of realignment or other changes to the the area, no activity like impoundment, hydrology or watercourses or damming, culverting or realignment etc. aquifers? is envisaged. However, as the mining is carried out by open-cast manual method so there will be development of shallow pits, which will be replenished during monsoon due to aggradations of sediment. There will be neither any abstraction nor addition to the river discharge, therefore, no change in the hydrology or impact on aquifer is anticipated. 1.22 Stream crossings? No -- 1.23 Abstraction or transfers of water from Yes During Operational phase of the mine, ground or surface waters? water for drinking purpose shall be taken from natural springs water sources of nearby Village. For dust suppression river water/tanker supply as per availability shall be used. Total demand of water shall be approximately 0.7 KLD. 1.24 Changes in water bodies or the land No -- surface affecting drainage or run-off. 5 Extraction / Collection of Minor Minerals (Sand, Bajri & Boulders) near Mandakini River Bed (ML Area FORM-1 1.291 Hectare) at Village – Giwari Gaon (Parkandi), Tehsil Ukhimath, District Rudraprayag, Uttarakhand. 1.25 Transport of personnel or materials for No Transportation of material and personnel construction, operation or is not warranted as no construction decommissioning? activity is involved. During the operational phase, the labour / personnel shall arrange for their own means of transport either on foot to reach the mine site.
