Out of 470 Km long Pranahita Godavari valley Coal field, the 350 Km ~ector is lying mostly in the South Indian State of Telangana. Over the years, the Company had expanded tts ~u.plo itc. t;o~ 3Ctivities in Adilabad. Karimnagar. Warangal and Khammam districts ofTelangana State.

The Singareni Collieries Company Limited is operating thirty one underground mines and seventeen opencast mines. These mines are located in 4 districts of Telangana namely, Khammam, Adilabad, Karimnagar and Warangal. For administrative convenience, coal mines in Adilabad District are grouped under one region called Bellampalli Region, Mines in Karimnagar and Warangal District are grouped under Ramagundam Region and the Mines in Khammam District are grouped under Kothagudem Region.

The mining rights of SCCL cover a stretch of 350 km, in Godavari Valley with proved coal reserves of about 10528.40 Million tones as on 01.04.2016.

The total availability of coal from the existing projects. projects under implementation and approved projects is inadequate to meet the total demand and a substantial g9p remains unfulfilled. The status of demano and supply gap is furnished below and reveals the gap and justifies planning of additional new projects and reconstruction of the existing projects. The production projections up to 2018~19 can only be met by

To bridge the gap between coal demand and coal production, SCCL is planning to · open new mines. converting the old underground mines into opencast and also : .. introduced new technologies like High-wall mining/Continuous Miners/Longwall - -technology. The Company has drawn an ambitious production plan and set production target of 72.00 MT Mt for the year 2018-19.

SCCL is taking the following steps for increasing/maintaining the coal production.

1) Adopting opencast working wherever possible for high rate of production .- .2) Conversion of shallow underground workings to opencast method for ...... extraction of balance coal reserves ... 3) Extension of the existing opencast workings to further dip side up to optimum level - . ·4)-1[nproving the productivity in the existing mines by improving the utilization of the equipment · 5) Opening of new mines in the adjoining areas for higher production Mining Plan of Medapalle Sand Quarry II (16 Ha) of South Godavari Mining Lease near Medapalle Village of Ramagundam of Karimnagar District

Sand stowing helps in minimizing mining losses and also allow extracting coal reserves below surface structures.

GDK 1 & 3 incline, GDK 2 & 2A incline, GDK 5 Incline and GDK 11 incline in Ramagundam - 1 area requires sand stowing to avoid subsidence. to exploit thick seams to maximum extent and to prevent underground fires due to spontaneous heating.

For this purpose. a possibility of sand quarrying at places in Godavari river bed was analyzed. Medapalle Sand Quarry II of South Godavari Mining lease is found feasible for quarrying in Godavari River bed near Medapalle village in Ramagundam mandai of Karim nagar District to cater the needs of the existing mines viz. GOK 1 & 3 incline. GDK 2 & 2A incline, GDK 5 Incline and GDK 11 incline of Ramagundam-1 area for hydraulic sand stowing. The project area of the proposed Medapalle Sand Quarry II of South Godavari Mining lease is 16.00 Ha. The sand from this quarry will be collected and transported for stowing of the above underground coal mines.

SCGL has already been putting its efforts for preparation of material alternative to sand' for stowing in underground mines. SCCL established Processing of Overburden (POB) Plants at Bhoopalaplli area, Srirampur a_rea, Kothagudem & Ra~agundam-1 area for preparation of processed 08 (an alternative to sand) from Overburden material. Void filling with bottom ash from NTPC. Ramagundam Power Plant is also being planned. With these measures, about 36% of the total ,-equirement is met by non-conventional sources. The river bed sand could only meet 16% of the total requirements leaving a gap of 48% of the demand resulting in short fall of coal production from stowing mines.

Even further, aggressive steps may increase the contribution of non-conventional sources to 50% by 2020- 21. This will keep a need of 50% contribution from river bed sand. With this capacity of existing sand quarries, the contribution will be 14% by 2020-21 leaving a gap of 37%. To curtail the loss of production and also for the safety of mine, it required to utilize the river bed sand for stowing in underground mines. In future, bottom ash from Singareni Thermal Power Plant (STIP). Jaipur, .Adil

1.2 NECESSITY OF SAND FOR COAL MINING OPERATI·ONS

Along with production and productivity. conservation of coal reserves is also a prime concern for sustained growth of the company. Sand stowing helps in minimizing mining losses and allow extracting coal reserves below surface structures otherwise not possible.

As a result of extraction of coal in the underground workings, the overlying strata will cave in. This ultimately results in the lowering/ subsidence of the surface area. The amount of subsidence generally depends on the thickness and volume of extraction, strata conditions, depth of the workings, etc. The subsidence will be more in mining zone at shallow depths and will decrease as the depth of extraction increases. Due to subsidence. surface structures, if any. over the coal extraction area will get damaged and the overlaying workable coal seams become not suitable for mining.

In order to avoid damage to the natural topography and surface structures due to subsidence, wherever necessary, the void formed by the extraction of coal is to be filled with stowing material, generally sand. The sand stowing in the voids gets consolidated and prevents the collapse of roof of the workings and protects the surface features.

3.3 GEOLOGY

3.3.1 General Geology of Godavari Valley Coar Field:

The Godavari Valley Coalfield defines a major NNW-SSE trending basin belt on pre­ cambrian platform, which exhibits a half graben structure. The linear belt extends from north of Boregoan, Maharashtra in the north to Eluru on the east coast of

The Pranhita- Godavari Valley Coalfield is the store house for the non-coking coal in the southern part of India covering an area of 17000 · sq km. bound by North Latitudes 16o32' to 19o33' and East Longitudes 79°12' to 81°39' through Adilabad, Karimnagar, Warangal and Khammam Districts of Telangana State & West Godavari of Andhra Pradesh State.

The Lower Gondwana sediments occur mostly along the southwestern peripheral parts of the basin and also at few places on the north-eastern margin. Few well defined outliers and structural inliers are also present. The continuity of barakar coal measures is broken and missing at places on account of major faulting and therefore different coal bearing areas occur as isolated pockets and are generally treated as

3.4 DETAILS OF EXPLORATION:

The average length and breadth of the Medapalle Sand Quarry II of South Godavari Mining lease are 800 m & 200 m respectively. To find out the thickness of sand. Geophysical Investigations viz Electrical Resistivity Surveys were conducted in the proposed Medapalle Sand Quarry II near Medapalle village. The Vertical Electrical Soundings enabled to estimate the sand bed thickness along the Godavari River in the 16 Ha project area. The thickness of the dry and wet sand varies from 3.40 m to " 6.00 m. The surveyed area contains about 1.6 Leu. m of extractable sand considering depth of mining as 1.0 m. The interpreted values may vary by about 20% because of the inherent limitation of the descending type of sounding curves usually obtained on the river beds.

These tanks in turn drain into Godavari River after meeting the surrounding area agricultural requirement.

Groundwater Potentiality:

Groundwater occurs in both water table and semi-confined conditions in the buffer zone of the project area. On the western part. ground water occurs in the water table conditions in the geological units such as Archeans and Pakhal & Sullavai group formations. In the eastern side of the buffer zone, it occurs in water table as well as semi-confined conditions in the sand stones of Gondwana formations.

In this area, SCCL is monitoring the attitude of phreatic surface since 1997, on long­ term basis periodically. The pre-monsoon and post-monsoon ground water levels are monitored in 42 observation wells located in the buffer area of Medapalli Sand Mining Plan of*l£t_dW?_a!le Sand Quarry II (16 Ha' ~f~j.!:.jJee in Ramagundam Manga; ~t'~~r District

The depth to water level varies a wide range from 1.00 to 14.25 m during pre-monsoon period and 0.50m to 11.70 m during post­ monsoon period. On an average, the net water level fluctuation is 2.32 m.

Aquifer Performance Test:

An Aquifer Performance Test {APT) is conducted. to assess the probable inflow of water. For this a multi aquifer test well and an observation well were constructed. tapping all the potential aquifers. The depth to the water in the test well is 4. 79m. The test was conducted at a constant discharge of 126 lit. /min. (i.e., 181.4 m3 per day).

From this test data. the hydraulic parameters are estimated to be: 2 Transmissivity: 2.1 0 m / day Hydraulic Conductivity: 1.23x10.1 m/day.

3. 12 The Singareni Collieries Company Ltd. GROUND WATER RESOURCE ESTIMATION

Th e ground water potential in the 1Okm buffer zone area of the Medapalle Sand Quarty II of South Godavari Mining Lease has been estimated as per the methodology given by the Ground Water resource Estimation Committee (GEC)- 1997. Rainfall is the major source of recharge in this area, besides Godavari river, its tributaries and a number of tanks.

I. CURRENT GROUND WATER DRAFT a. Domestic consumption

As per 2011 census, the population of this area is 5,29,031. Of this, 5,03,891 people living in urban areas have protected water supply from Godavari River. The present rural population is 25140 and will be about 34 767 as per the projection by 2035 at the grovvth rate of 1.36% annually for Telangana (Source : National Commission of Population). It is presumed that they draw ground water through open/ bore wells for their domestic needs. At the per capita consumption rate of 60 lit. /day, as per GEC~97 procedure, this amounts to 2086 m3/day or 0.76 M CuM /year. • '( , \ t ,\ b. Cattle consumption I\

Cattle consumption is assumed to be of 10% of domestic consumpti works out to 0.07 MCuM/year. . c. Agricultural requirement

1A. Recharge from water table fluctuation

The attitude of phreatic surface is being monitored in 42 observation wells located in the buffer area of the project, in both the pre and post-monsoon seasons. It varies over a wide range from 1.00m to 14.25 m during pre-monsoon period and 0.50m to 11.70 m during post-monsoon period. The average water level fluctuation is 2 .32m. The buffer area is plain and undulatory terrain with local hillocks. An area of about 14.27 sq.kms is occupied by hillocks in hard rock terrain.

Recharge= Geographical area X water table fluctuation X sp. yield.

=328.02 sq. km. x 2.32 m x 0.03 =22.83 MCuM I Year.

3. 15 The Singareni Collieries Company Ltd. Comparison of recharge:

A. Recharge from water table fluctuation method= 26.36 MCuM/ Year

B. Recharge from Rainfall infiltration method = 41.52 MCuM/ Year

PO= ((A-8)/B) X100 = ((22.83N41.52)/41.52) X100 = -45.01%

Since, the percentage of deviation (-45.01 %) is< -20%, the Recharge estimated by Rainfall infiltration method, is multiplied by 0.8

Recharge from rainfall =41.52 X 0.8 = 33.21 MCuM/ Year

2. Recharge from other sources

a. Recharge from return flow from surface water applied for irrigation :

=50% of (105cm X 1052 ha) for Paddy= 5.52 MCuM I Year

b. Recharge from return flow from groundwater applied for irrigation:

= 45% of (27.87 MCuM)/Year) for Paddy= 12.54 MCuM I Year

e. Recharge from Godavari River flood prone area and tanks & ponds:

This is estimated based on the average area of water spread and 1.4mm/day recharge rate for the period in which the flood prone area/tank has water. In the buffer zone. an area of about 20.503 sq.km and 7.488 sq.km (27.991 sq.km) is covered by R. Godavari and tanks respectively. As the average area of water spread is not available, 60% of the maximum water spread is used.

• Recharge from the river= 60% of 20.503 sq.km x 1.4 mm/day ( 120 days)

= 2.07 MCuM I Year

3. 17 The Singareni Collieries Company Ltd. VII. CATEGORISATION OF AREA FOR GROUND WATER DEVELOPMENT

As per GEC 97, "if the stage of ground water development is more than 70% but less than or equal to 90% and water table during only one of the two intervals shows a falling trend, the category can be considered as Semi-critical".

The present stage of ground water development in the buffer zone of propo~ed ·sand quarry is 90%. The long term monitoring of water levels reveal that the water table during one of the two intervals showing a falling trend. Hence, based on this information the area is categorised as "Semi-critical".

Summary of ground water resource estimation:

Gross annual ground water recharge 56.31 MeuM/ year

Unaccounted losses 2.81 MeuM/ year

Net annual Ground water recharge 53.50 MeuM/ year

48.20 MeuM/ year

o In this project, it is not proposed to divert or truncate any stream.

o No proposal is envisaged for pumping of water either from the river or tapping the ground water at huge quantities. The water will be sourced from nearby bore well and mine filter bed. The water used for dust suppression may seep again into water course as such the net consumption will be very less.

o 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 and ground water regime due to this project.

o SCCL will follow the guidelines and rules of WALT A Act - 2004 during the lease period of extracting the required sand.

Project area : 16.00 ha Relief of the project site : 126m to 123m above MSL Flow level in the river : 121m above MSL in lean months River width : 758m to 100m Sand bed thickness : 3.40m to 6.00m- average of 3.86 m Sand requirement : 54.000 m3

As per WALTA. it can be permitted to extract sand up to 1.0m depth. As the proposed depth of excavation is in the range of 126m to 123m above mean sea level and the base flow level in the river is at 121m above MSL, the base flow of the river will not be exposed. Thus there will not be any downstream erosion and change in the habitat.

It is not envisaged to tap ground water in this area at huge quantities and no plan to truncate any stream and diversion of flow of stream/river in this area. There are no existing structures like bridge, dam. weirs or drinking water /lift irrigation schemes in near vicinity (with in 500m from the periphery) of the project. Hence. there will not be any adverse impact on surface hydrology and ground water regime of the area.

During extraction activity, sand is directly lifted from the river bed through trucks to its utility sites (i.e., mines where sand stowing is taking place). No stockpiling will be made at the project site or on the bank of the river. Periodical maintenance shall be made to avoid fuel spills from excavators and trucks. Hence. water quality for downstream users will be sustained.

During the floods. the rivers transport sediment loads from their ca When the gradient of river becomes gentle or where the width of ri meanders. the flow velocity of river reduces and the sediment load Within the Godavari river channel. the flow which was concentrated on \EJil!q~Wfl~ shifted to the left bank along the NW edge of the proposed project. D season. the area gets replenished with sediment and sources of erosion at this location are meagre.

USE OF MINERAL & MINERAL BENEFICIATION

5.1 USE OF MINERAL

The sand mined from the Medapal!e Sand Quarry II area of South Godavari Mining Lease area will be used for stowing purpose in GOK 1&3 Incline. GDK 2&2A Incline. GDK 5 Incline and GDK 11 Incline mines of Ramagundam-1 area. The voids formed due to extraction of coal in underground mines will be filled with sand . Any extraction of coal. if carried out below forest land and other important surface features like HT lines. roads, buildings. railway line etc. , the void formed is to be filled with stowing material like sand in order to maintain their stability. Sand is used for stowing the voids formed as a result of extraction of coal from the lower sections of seam so as to keep the upper seam intact.

Hydraulic sand stowing is adopted to protect overlying structures such as buildings. roads. railway lines. etc. to protect overlying (upper) sections/seams while working lower thick/multiple seams; to eliminate strata control problems in difficult gee-mining conditions. to eliminate risk of fire and to achieve higher percentage of extraction.

GDK 1&3 incline. GDK 2&2A incline, GDK 5 Incline and GDK 11 incline in Ramagundam - 1 area requires sand stowing to avoid subsidence. to exploit thick · seams to maximum extent and to prevent underground fires due to spontaneous heating.

Mining Plan of Medapalle Sand

5.1 The Singareni Collieries Company Ltd The sand from the surface of the mine is generally transported to underground working through pipe lines after mixing with water. Generally. Stowing is done by hydraulic method.

5.2 MINERAL BENEFICIATION

The sand is directly used for stowing purpose after mechanical screening to remove pebbles etc. The sand available at Medapalle Sand Quarry II of South Godavari Mining Lease in Godavari River near Medapalle village is considered suitable for sand stowing purposes and is used for the same.

In order to mitigate fugitive dust emissions and other air emissions from the project activities. the following measures are proposed to be adopted.

1. To avoid fugitive dust emissions at the time of excavation. the mining area is being wetted by water spraying for the purpose. 2. To avoid fugitive dust emissions at the time of sand screening activity. Sand screening activity will be carried out at mines so as to prevent spreading of dust. 3. Effective dust suppression arrangements are being made at the ground level sand bunkers at the mines. 4. Sand is transported to the coal m1ne sites by road through trucks. The sand is being wetted after loading in to the trucks and will be covered by tarpaulin sheets. 5. To minimize the vehicular pollution from the sand transporting vehicles. the following conditions are followed to permit the vehicles of the transporters:

• The vehicles should be with good engine condition and should maintain pollution control certificate issued by appropriate authorities.

• Regular maintenance of transport vehicles and monitoring of vehicular emission levels at periodical intervals. pping and regular maintenance of sand transportation roads air quality monitoring is being carried out on fortnightly basis to assess uality in and around the project for taking necessary control measures. belt development along the access roads at mine premises and near the

3.4.1 Impact due to Water Pollution and its Management

Mining of sand from within or near a stream bed has a direct impact on the stream's physical habitat characteristics.

No proposal is envisaged for pumping of water either from the river or tapping the ground water. As the project activity is carried out in the meandering part of the river bed, none of the project activities will affect the water environment or riparian habitats. In this project. it is not proposed to divert or truncate any stream. 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 and ground water regime due to this project. Thus. the project activities will not have any adverse effects on the physical components of the environment and therefore may not have any effect on the recharge of ground waters or affect the water quality.

In order to ensure that the sand mining shall not affect the water environment. the following measures will be taken up. 1. Mining is avoided during the monsoon season and at the time of floods. This ~help in replenishment of sand in the river bed. c: \Y (:: ,.~ <:)Y~ :. ~:;-- ..Nf~~ schedule is synchronized with the river flow direction and the gradient f.g. (~·,~, ~~)~t t l d.

Proposed Mitigation Measures a) Minimum number of access roads to river bed for which cutting of river banks will be avoided and ramps are to be maintained. Access points to the river bed will be decided basing on least steepness of river bank and least human activity. b) Haulage roads parallel to the river bank and roads connecting access to river bed will be made away from bank, preferably 100m. away. c) Care will be taken to ensure that pending is not formed in the river bed. d) Access roads from public roads and up to river bank will be aligned in such a way that it would cause least environmental damage.

3.5.2 Green belt programme

Green belt will be developed along the access roads at mine premises and near the sand mining site. Vegetation development is proposed along the bank of river and along road sides of approach roads. While selecting the plant species, preference will be given for planting native species of the area. SCCL will also supply saplings to the surrounding villagers for green belt development in their villages and encourage the plantation by means of social forestry. The geen belt plan (Environment Plan) is enclosed as Plate VI.

INTRODUCTION

The Singareni Collieries Company Limited is the sole lessee of Godavari Valley Coalfield with 30 underground and 16 opencast coal mines. To meet the growing demand of coal, the company planned to increase its present coal production. For this, opening of new mines and re-organizing & restructuring of some of the existing mines is required.

As a result of extraction of coal in the underground workings, the overlying strata will cave in. This ultimately results in the lowering/subsidence of the surface area. The amount of subsidence generally depends on the thickness and volume of extraction, strata conditions, depth of the workings etc. The subsidence will be more in mining zone at shallow depths and will decrease as the depth of extraction increases. Due to subsidence, surface structures, if any, over the coal extraction area will get damaged and the overlaying workable coal seams become not suitable for mining.

In order to avoid damage to the natural topography and surface structures due to subsidence. wherever necessary, the void formed by the extraction of coal is to ~::t=lll:t:::~ with stowing material, generally sand. The sand stowing in the voids gets co l SI5!fQ.lrl.l~'t'f prevents the collapse of roof of the workings and protects the surface rf~~~~~~Q stowing helps in minimizing mining losses and allow extracting coal structures otherwise not possible.

Sand stowing is mandatory as per the Coal Mines Regulations, 1957 IIJ'(;).Ef~~l~m.. ~

structures are required to be protected and also financially to be assisted by nmn=rn --.....;;;;::..=- Coal under Coal Conservation and Development Act. 1974.

The SCCL introduced sand stowing in underground mines long back. Sand stowing is being done in the mines of Bellampalli. Ramagundam and Kothagudem regions of the Company. The SCCL is also having rights for sand quarrying in Adilabad, Karimnagar and . . Plan Prepar~e(Yti me Khammam Drstncts. ~ \ rt ty/ 2-b\C\ ~ Hydraulic sand stowing is adopted to protect overlying stru ctures(~ ~1:ffl~~ i ~~SA

For this purpose, a possibility of sand quarrying at places in Godavari river bed was analysed. Sand deposits were found feasible for quarrying in Godavari river bed near Medapalli village, Ramagundam mandai, Karimnagar district. The sand from this quarry will be collected and transported for stowing of underground coal mines.

Details of project area

In brief, the salient features of the project are as follows:

Project area: 16.00Ha Project location: In Godavari river bed. 2. 65 km from Medapalli village. Relief of the project site: 125 m to 122m above MSL Flow level in the river: 121 m above MSL in lean months Sand bed thickness: Ave. thickness 3.86 m Sand requirement: 54. 000 m3 /year.

Location

The proposed project area for sand extraction is located in the right bank of Godavari river, which is about 2.65 km north of Medapalli village and about 8.1 kms from Godavarikhani town of Karimnagar District. It covers an area of about 16ha. This area is bound by North Lat. 18° 47' 29.81" - 18° 47' 55.33" and East Longitude 79° 29' 57.66" - 79° 29' 38.18'', fa lling in the Survey of India T opo sheet No. 56 N/5 ( Figure-1 ).

Scope of the work

As per MoEF guidelines. the hydro-geological environ of the area within the buffer zone of 10km radius from the proposed Medapalli sand quarry-11 (336.85sq.km.) has been studied with the objective of estimating current gross ground water. draft. ground water recharge. surplus water availability (as per Groundwater resource Estimation Committee (GEC)-1997 methodology) and the impact of the proposed project on surface and ground water environ of the area.

Physiography:

The buffer zone area is of flat to gently undulating terrain. dotted with hillocks and intervening sand patches. The area is drained by River Godavari. It enters into the buffer zone from NW side and flow south easterly, dividing the buffer zone into two parts. The area on the northern side of River Godavari slopes towards south (i.e .. towards Godavari River). The area on the southern side of River Godavari, slopes towards east and northeast (i.e .. towards Godavari River). In general. the surface elevation of the buffer area on the northern side of the River Godavari varies from 180m above MSL to 120m above MSL. While on the southern side of River Godavari it varies from 200m above MSL to 120m above MSL. The mean topographic slope on both northern and southern sides is about 8.0m per km. The topography is sloping towards southwest in northern side while it slopes towards northeast in southern side. There is one unnamed hill (311m above MSL) and a rocky knob (277m & 218m above MSL) is located on the south-western side. The hilly region is of beveled cuesta type with intervening depressions. Along the Godavari River the area is periodically flooded. It is a well drained flood plain of thick un-consolidated alluvium.

Drainage:

The area is drained by Godavari River and its tributaries like Rali vagu and Raila vagu, Tollavagu, Tekumatla Vagu or Peddavagu. The drainage in this area is of dendritic type, flowing almost perpendicular to the main course of River Godavari (Figure-2). The highest flood 1 level (HFL) of Godavari River recorded at intake well near GDK-1 inc. on 10 h October. 1995 is 138.1 Om above MSL.

METEOROLOGY

The area experiences a typical tropical climate. with three distinct seasons- a hot summer from February to June with occasional thunder showers; a good rainy season betweeo July and Plan Pre~ar d ny me October; and a pleasant winter between November and January. , f]?Lb . t)-r ~~\ Rainfall: (D. riA \!l PR !~.SA D) Rc::-r":rtiS· ']1 .::lif ~ :!

Fxp/Ortlfion Di1i. , ion. SCCL Sullavai and Pakhal: The Pakhal and SU1Iava1 groups of rocks unconformably overlie the Archaeans. Pakhal Group comprising of quar.zites, shales, slates and phyllites. The Sullavai Group consists of medium to coarse grained. white to brick red sandstones. which are quartzjtic at places and molted shales.

Talchir formation: Talch1r formation rests unconformably over the ~rregular basement rocks of Archean I ProterozoiC meta sediments and is exposed as discontinues patches along the periphery of the basin. This formation comprise fine to medium grained greemsh/ Yellowish green sand stones. greenish shales and buff coloured conglomerates.

Barakar formation: This formation succeeds the Talchir format1on with a gradatronal contact. while it directly rests over the basement rocks with faulted contact. The exposures of Barakar formatron occur along the basrn margrns as discontinuous linear patches. The strata comprises medium to coarse grained kaolinised feldspath1c sandstones and the pebbly honzons occur as thin Intercalations withrn the coarse grained sand stone. The pebbly horizons are homogeneous 1n nature comprising mostly of quartz and feldspars. carb-shale. carb-clay and grey shale intercalations are common in Barakars and at places carb.shale/grey shale forms the immediate roof and floor of the seam besides occurnng as intercalations. The Barakar

formation of Lower Gondwana Group 1s about 200m+ thrck. It is ma1n repository of coal seams.

Barren Measure formation: The Barren Measure formation compnses of medtum to coarse

grained green to greenish grey sandstone intercalated with grey shales and vanegated clays. These sandstones form potential aquifers and sustain large scale pumping.

Kamthi Formation:

Kamth1 formatron occurs above the Barren Measure formation with a ~~-t~r'l"alllllltl format1on is represented by reddish brown Ferrugrnous sandstones. grey clay stone and redd1sh brown clays These comprise mostly coa sandstones and pebbly at places, brown sandstones and var1eQ1at~fQ A'l.l;\v~w~mn bands.

Maleri Formation: The Kamth formation grades upwards onto a thtck and sandstones. which were sub div1ded in to four honzons viz .. Yerrapalli. Bheemaram. Malen and Dharmaram.

The fault directions are NW-SE and NE-SW. The NW-SE trending major boundary fault brings the T alchirs and Barakars to terminate against the Archaeans and the Kamthis to abet against Plan Prepared )ly ~e1 ,_ I h e S u IIava1s. ~)~' tfJ, r Jfo\q (D.

Surlace water potentiality:

The area is dratned by the River Godavari flowtng south-easterly and 1ts tnbutaries (Figure-2).

Godavari River: It IS an tnterstate river. Its catchment area spreads over SIX states viz..

Maharashtra, Karnataka. Telangana, Andhra Pradesh. Madhya Pradesh and Orissa, while the main river flows through only five states i.e., Maharashtra. Madhya Pradesh, Telangana and

Andhra Pradesh. The proposed project is located in Godavari River bed in Karimnagar district of Telangana state.

Central Water Commission (CWC) is gauging the Godavari river discharge near Mancherial town. The discharge varies widely from nil in summer period to a max1mum of 4475.381 cumec (i.e., Cub1c meter per second) dunng flood period with an average of 81.131 cumec.

The Rallavagu. IS an ephemeral tributary of River Godavan. The Rallavagu flows southerly and joins Godavan Rtver to the South of Manchenal. The drainage is of dendritic to sub­ parallel type indicat1ng the pla1n terra1n and structuraltnnuence in its development.

The Rah Vagu 1s also an ephemeral tributary, nows south-easterly and joins River Godavar: near Vampalli village.

The Tolla vagu is in the northwest of the buffer zone and flowing south westerly to join the Godavari River near Naspur village.

Tekumatla vagu originates in the northern part of the area. flows southerly and joins Godavari river near Shetpalli village.

Tanks: There are several major ar.d m1nor 1rngat1on tanks strewn over the buffer zone. Ex: Ramagundam tank {54.4 ha). Janagaon tank (42.3 ha). Sundilla tank {19.4 ha}. Gaddampalli tank. NarsJmhulapafh tank. Guddelugulapalh. lndaram. Ramaraopet tank etc. About 7.49 sq.km area is occupied by tanks. These tanks in turn drain 1nto Godavan R1ver after meeting the surrounding area agricultural requ~rement.

Groundwater Potentiality:

Groundwater occurs in both water table and semi-confined conditions in the buffer zone of the project area. On the western part. ground water occurs in the water table conditions in the geological units such as Pakhal & Sullavai group of formations.

SCCL is monitoring the attitude of phreatic surface since 1997, on long-term basis periodically. The pre-monsoon and post-monsoon ground water levels are monitored in 42 observation wells located in the buffer area of Medapalli Sand Quarry-11. The depth of these shallow wells varies widely from 5.2 to 14.50 m with a diameter of 1.0 to 6.5 m. The depth to water level varies a wide range from 1.00 to 14.91 m during pre-monsoon period and 0.50m to 11.70 m during post-monsoon period. On an average. the net water level fluctuation is 1.92 m. The phreatic surface data is furnished rn Table-3. Hydrographs of phreatic wells in this area are shown in Frgure-5.

Aquifer Performance Test:

An Aquifer Performance Test (APT) is conducted. to assess the probable inflow of water into the proposed wor1

From this test data, the hydraulic parameters are estimated to be: Transmissivity: 2.1 0 m21 day Hydraulic Conductivity: 1.23x1 o·· m/day.

The above data indicates that the aquifers are under unconfined condition.

E.>ip/orutiun Divis iv11. SCCL GROUND WATER RESOURCE ESTIMATION

The ground water potential in the 1 Okm buffer zone area of the proposed sand quarry has been estimated as per the methodology given by the Ground Water resource Estimation Committee {GEC) -1997. Rainfall is the major source of recharge in this area, besides Godavari river, its tributaries and a number of tanks.

I. CURRENT GROUND WATER DRAFT a. Domestic consumption

As per 2011 census the population of this area is 5,28, 704. Of this 5,03.891 people living in Ramagund am, Mancherial, Naspur. Thallapalle. Teegalpahad. Singapur, Naspur urban areas. The lndaram, Ramaraopet, Tekumatla, Shetpalle and Mustyal vil lages etc .. have protected water supply from Godavari River. Of the urban population. 24,926 are employees working in 15 coal mines of SCCL, living with their families in the company colonies. Considering 4 persons per family, the population amounts to 99,704, to whom protected water supply is provided, out of the water is being pumped from these sixteen coal mines of this area. to the extent of 12,629 m3/day or 4.61 MCuM I year. The rural population (i.e. excluding villages having protected water supply) will be 15.1 04 as per the projection by 2035 AD at the growth rate of 1.36% annually for Telangana (Source of information: National Commission of Population). It is presumed that they draw ground water through open/ bore wells for their domestic needs. At the per capita consumption rate of 60 lit./day, as per GEC-97 procedure, this amounts to 906 m3/day or 0.33 MCuM/year. b. Cattle consumption

1A. Recharge from water table fluctuation

The attitude of phreatic surface is being monitored in 42 observation wells located in the buffer area of the project, in both the pre and post-monsoon seasons. It varies over a wide range from 1.00m to 14.91 m during pre~monsoon period and O.SOm to 11 .70 m during post-monsoon period. The average water level fluctuation is 1.92m. The buffer area is plain and undulatory terrain with local hillocks. An area of about 14.27 sq.kms is occupied by hillocks in hard rock terrain.

Recharge= Geographical area X water table fluctuation X sp. yield.

= 322.58 sq. km. x 1.92 m x 0.03 = 18.58 MCuM I Year.

1B . Recharge from rainfall

The mean annual rainfall of this area is 1090.07mm. Within the buffer zone, an area of 205.97 sq. km is underlain by sedimentary formations; 130.88 sq km is occupied by the hard rock formations.

In the buffer zone area of the project:

i. Recharge in sedimentary terrain (of semi-consolidated sandstone formation):

=205.97 sq.km x 12% of rainfall = 26.94 MCuM I Year

ii. Recharge in hard rock terrain:

= 130.88 sq. km x 11% of rainfall = 15.69 MCuM I Year

Recharge from rainfall in buffer zone area (i+ii)= 42.63 MCuM I Year

d. Recharge from Return flow of mine water let out mto streams:

=20% of (7.93 MCuM I Year)= 1.58 MCuM I Year

e. Recharge from Godavari River flood prone area and tanks & ponds:

Th1s is estimated based on the average area of water spread and 1.4mm/day recharge rate for the penod m wh1ch the flood prone area/lank has water. In the buffer zone. an area of about 20.464 sq.km and 8.005 sq .km (28.469sq.km) is covered by R. Godavari and tanks respectively. As the average area of water spread is not

ava1lable . 60% of the maximum water spread IS used.

• Recharge from the river= 60% of 20.464 sq.km x 1.4 mm/day (120 days)

= 2.06 MCuM I Year

• Recharge from tanks; 60% of 8.005 sq .km .x. 1.4 mm/day (180 days)

= 1.21 MCuM I Year

Total Recharge from other sources (a+b+c+d+e) = 26.58 MCuM I Year

Gross recharge= Recharge from rainfall +Recharge from other sources.

= 34.10 +26.58 = 60.68 MCuM I Year

The gross annual groundwater avatlability w1th1n the buffer zone area of proposed project is arnved at by adding recharge from rainfall and return flow from water applied for 1rngat1on. This amounts to 60.68MCuPv11Year. After deducting unaccounted losses (5% of gross recharge}. the net available groundwater 1s 57.65 MCuMI year. The current annual gross groundwater draft of all uses in th1s area 1s 51.91 MCuM!Year. This leaves a net Balance of 5.74 MCuM/ year.

VII. CATEGORISATION OF AREA FOR GROUND WATER DEVELOPMENT

As per GEC 97. "if the stage of ground water development ts more than 70% but less than or equal to 90% and water table dunng only one of the two intervals shows a falling trend. the category can be considered as Semt-cnttcal".

The present stage of ground water development in tre buffer zone of proposed sand quarry-11 is 90%. The long term monitoring of water levels reveal that the water table dunng one of the two mtervals show1ng a falling trend (Fig-5). Hence. based on this informatiOn the area is categorised as "Semi-critical".

Summary of ground water resource estimation:

Gross annual ground water recharge 60.68 MeuM/ year

Unaccounted losses 3.03 MeuM/ year

Net annual Ground water recharge 57.65 MeuM/ year

Annual ground water draft 51.91 MeuM/ year

Balance groundwater available 5.74 MeuM/ year

Stage of groundwater development: 90.0%

The Andhra Pradesh Water. Land and Trees Act. 2002. has been enforced w1th effect from April 19. 2002 for regulating the sand mining in stream/river courses. so as to protect the ecological balance.

1 G.O.Ms.339. dated 06 h Nov. 2004. deals exclusively with sand mining and the precautions to be taken therein. Rule 23 of Andhra Pradesh Water. Land & Trees Rules, 2002 prescribes conditions subject to which the sand mining can be perrmtted. Rule 23 of the Rules reads as under:

Sand mining: In areas where sand mintng IS affecting ground·water regime. such of the areas shall be notified and transportation of sand shall be prohibited and m1ning and transportation of sand shall be banned in notified over explo1ted ground water micro basins/mandals and for other areas the following conditions shall apply for exploitation of sand.

(1) A. Sand mining shall not be permitted in notified areas except for local use in the v1/lages or towns bordering the streams. Transportation of sand from these notified areas through mechanical means out of the local jurisdiction shall be banned.

B. In IV orders stream. sand mining shall be restricted to specified areas.

C. In V order and above rivers Viz .. Godavari. Knshna. Pennar etc.. sand mining may be permitted without affecting the existing sources for Irrigation for drinking water or industrial purpose.

(2) The sand leaseholders shall not carryout quarrying within 500 meters of any existing structure such as bridges. dams. weirs or any other cross drainage

(3) Veh1cles carrying sand shall not ply over the flood banks ovr·ont bndges or on a metal road.

(4) Permission to quarry sand shall not be granted within 500 extraction structures either for irrigat1on or drinking water

(5) The streams/rivers where the thickness of sand is quite good (more the depth of removal may be extended to 2. 00 meters but in no case beyond two meters.

(6) Sand quarrymg shall not be permitted within 15 meters or 115 of the Width of the •. aan Preparel! ~y me streambed from the bank whichever is more. tJ.-- ,...... -r~q\ ~ 1b

(10) The quantity of sand deposited annually in every stream or river shall be monitored by establishing observation stations along the stream course.

The Features of the project:

o The catchment area of the Godavari river up to Manchenal (which located at about 6.5

2 km upstream of the proposed sand quarry) is 102.900 km •

o This sand quarry-11 project is located at Right bank of Godavari River near Medaplli village in River Godavari. with an altitude of 125 to 122 above MSL. The observed base~flow level is at 121m above MSL.

o Here. Godavan nver gradient 1s gentle in th1s area and width of the River Godavan has become wide and 1t varies from 1.5 km to 1km between Pamulapeta (Right bank) and near Medapalh (R1ght bank).

o There are no structures like bndge. dam. we~rs or any other c:-oss drainage within 500 meters distance from the proposed sand quarry-II project area.

o There are no structures of dnnkmg water /lift irngation schemes nearby.

o Thickness of the sand in this block area is varying from 3.4 to 6.00m.

o In this project. it is not proposed to divert or truncate any stream.

o No proposal is envisaged for pumping of water either from the river or tapping the ground water at huge quantities. About 20 KLD of water is required for dust suppression and will be tapped from the river near the s1te. The water Dsed for dust suppression may seep again mto water course as such the net consumpt1on w1ll be very less.

o In the lean months. the proposed sand minmg w1ll not expose the bas e...~~:t::g~ and hence. there w1ll not be any adverse 1mpact on surface hyd regime due to this project.

o SCCL will follow the gu1delines and rules of WALT A Act-2004 extracting the reqwed sand.

o The purposed excavation is not commercial. It is for stowing i mines. which is statutory. This stowing prevents land subsidence ~ n1"1~o~~ ~~~ Plan Prepa effects on forestry, surface & underground drainage.

The River Godavari is the second largest river 1n India with a length of about 1530 km and 16 major tnbutaries with a catchment area of 313.000 km 2 spread in seven states- Maharastra. Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka. Madhya Pradesh, Chattishgarh and Orissa. The proposed sand quarry-11 area is located in the right bank of River Godavari near Medapalli v11lage.

Sand 1s one of the important eng~neering materials. required in huge quantities for several construction works. Its formation. transportation and depOSitiOn were a natural phenomenon and depend on the ramfall. morphology and geological factors.

The main features of the project are as follows:

Project area : 16.00ha Relief of the project site : 125m to 122m above MSL Flow level in the river :121m above MSL in lean months River width : 777m to 692m Sand bed thickness : 3.4m to 6.00m average of 4.70m Sand requirement : 2.40.000 m3 As per A. P. WALTA. it can be permitted to extract sand up to 1.0m depth. As the proposed depth of excavation is in the range of 125m to 122m above mean sea level and the base flow level in the river is at 121m above MSL. the base flow of the river will not be exposed. Thus there will not be any downstream erosion and change in the habitat.

Jt is not envisaged to tap ground water in this area at huge quantities and no plan to truncate any stream and diversion of flow of stream/river in this area. There are no existing like bridge. dam. weirs or drinkmg water /lift Irrigation schemes in near VICi nity from the penphery) of the project. Hence. there will not be any adverse hydrology and ground water regime of the area.

During extract1on acttvity. sand is directly lifted from the nver bed through sites (i.e., m1nes where sand stowing is taking place). No stockpiling wtll be,.,, ...,. ..,~::~, site or on the bank of the river. Periodical. ma1ntenance shall be made to avoid excavators and trucks. Hence. water quality for downstream users will be sustained.

Dunng the floods. the rivers transport sediment loads from the1r catchment areas. When the gradient of river becomes gentle or where the w1dth of river w1dens or at meanders. the flow velocity of river reduces and the sed1ment load gets depos1ted. Within the Godavan nver channel. the flow which was concentrated on the right bank shifted to the left bank along the

NW edge of the proposed project. Dunng flood season. th~ ar~ .s..~esr Q leni.shed w1th nan rr~vare oy me sed1ment and sources of eros1on at this locat1on are meagre. t?~ ~'~(t, (D.

Govt. of India. ~ · ~~011/(45)/2006 • CPAM .L:. 2 '1 ·7-~009 CONCLUSIONS

Water is essential for sustenance of life. R1vers play a vital role for the ecological balance. Godavan is the second largest river in India. As per the methodology of the Ground Water resource Estimat1on Committee (GEC)-1997. the proposed area comes under ·sem1-cntical"

category with 90°'o development.

A suitable sand bed is available and every year the area gets replenished with sediment during flood season. No major pumping of water either from the river or by tapping of ground water is envisaged in this project. Extraction of sand without exposing the base flow of river will not

have any impact on surface hydrology and ground water regime of the area.

The purpose of excavation is not commercial. It is for sand stowing purpose in the underground coal mines to prevent land subsidence resultrng adverse effects O!l forestry. surface & underground drarnage.

Every year. dunng flood season. the area gets replemshed with sedrment. To assess the quantum of sand deposited at the proposed s1te. a topographical survey in the lease area 1s to t::e taken up for two times in a year i.e.. before start1ng the excavat1on and at the trme of closing the activity during onset of monsoor.. The difference between two records will g1ve the volume extracted during lean period and volume deposited dunng fiood penod.

SCCL will scrupulously follow the guidelines and rules of WALTA Act. 2004 during the lease period and will continue the impact studies on surface hydrology and water regime in and around the project area.

1.1 Status of Sand with Respect to Conventional Parameters

One sand sample was collected from the study area from project site. Location of these place are presented in Table 1.1. Representative sand sample from depth (30 em) was collected from these location for estimation of the physico-chemrcal characteristics of sand.

Standard methods have been followed for the analysis of sand sample and are shown in

Table 1.2.

1.2 Physical Properties of Sand

Air-dned and sieved sample was used for determrnatron of physical propertres of sand.

Sand characteristics such as the texture of the sand is sandy. presented in Table 1.3.

The physical characteristics of sand viz. , particle size distribution (sand. silt. clay). porosity and water holding capacity are presented in Table 1.4. The porosity is 98%.

1.3 Chemical Properties of Sand

The collected sand sample was analyzed for various chemical properties. The parameters selected were pH. Electrical Conductivity, Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), Sodium

pH tS an rmportant parameter which rndicates that slightly alkaline nature of sand for the sand sample are 0.0345 mmhosicm. Cation exchange capacrty which was

Nutrient Status

The macro nutrients Nitrogen (N) Phosphorus (P) Potassium (K) were analyzed in the study

area and compared with standard soil classification. published by ICAR. presented in Table

1.8.

Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium were found to be in the range as given below . The

Nitrogen value 131 kgha'1 reflecting that the value observed to be in good category. The

Phosphorus value 6.43 kg ha·1 indicating that the value is very less category. The

Potassium value 134 kg ha·1 indicating that value is observed to less category.
