The air borne particulate matter generated by ore and handling operations as well as 2 transportation is the main air pollutant. The emissions of Sulphur dioxide (SO ), Oxides of x Nitrogen (NO ) contributed by vehicles plying on haul roads are marginal. Prediction of impacts on air environment has been carried out taking into consideration proposed production and net increase in emissions. The maximum incremental value of PM10 is found due to transportation activity, loading and unloading operation ad excavation work as drilling and blasting is not proposed on the project site. The same has been predicted by using softwares for modelling. It s seen that the GLC’s obtained at various locations for the study period are well within the CPCB Mitigation Measuresth standards (dated 18 November,2009).

 Stationary water sprinklers will be installed at the entrances and exit of ML area with  provision of water recirculation. Water sprinkling will be done on the haul roads twice in a day.  The dust generated during the process will be minimized by water spray at the working  faces before and after the activity. Plantation will be carried out on approach roads and in Lease boundary.  Planning transportation routes of mined material so as to reach the nearest paved roads by shortest route. (minimize transportation over unpaved road);  Personal Protection Equipments (PPE) like dust masks, ear plugs etc. will be provided to mine workers.  Rock breaker will be used for breaking over size boulders in order to reduce dust and  noise generation.
