1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 INTRODUCTION River plays an important role in the lives of the people. The river systems provide irrigation, potable water, transportation, electricity and the livelihoods for a large number of people all over the country and to rural areas. A part from this, river is also a good source of construction grade material as sand & gravel. As transportation and construction infrastructure expanded since last few decades, the demand for construction grade sand also increased exponentially. The market demand of river sand is high throughout the nation and Rajasthan. Sand is extracted directly from the river channel and it doesn’t require processing other than size grading. But it is now well understood that continued and indiscriminate sand mining can cause serious environmental impacts, particularly if the river being mined is eroded. In order to mitigate the impact of sand mining on the environment, a scientific assessment is a pre-requisite for framing sustainable development strategies for the mining-hit areas.

1.2 LEGAL FRAMEWORK RELATED TO SAND MINING Mining Leases for the mineral Bajri are granted as provided in Rajasthan Minor Mineral Concession (Amendments) Rules, 2012 notified vide Department Notification No. F.14 (1) Mines/ Gr. II/ 2011 dated 23-05-2012 i.e. RMMCR, 1986. • According to rule 7 (Amendment) “Provided that mining lease for mineral Bajri shall only be granted by way of tender or auction”. • According to rule 8 & 17 (Amendment) “The mining lease for Bajri shall not be renewed”. • According to rule 16 (Amendment) “The mining lease for mineral Bajri shall be granted for a period of five years only”. • According to rule 18 (Amendment) “In case of mining lease for Bajri Mineral, part surrender of lease area shall not be accepted and the lessee shall not have any right to remove any stock of Bajri after the expiry of lease period or receipt of the order of determination of lease”. New clause 32 has been added under rule 18 stating that “The lessee shall abstain from mining beyond depth of three meters from the surface and below the water table of river/ nallah and shall work in such a manner that natural flow path of river/ nallah is not altered”. The Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (formerly Ministry of Environment & Forests), New Delhi in perpetuation of the directive of the Apex court

State of Rajasthan & ORS.} dated 25.11.2013 “Till the end of February’ 2014, The Letter of Intent holders who have submitted their applications to the Ministry of Environment and Forests for clearances can carry mining operations in accordance with the Notification dated 21 st June’ 2012 of the Mines (Act 2) Department, Government of Rajasthan issued under rule 65A of the Rajasthan Mines and Mineral Concession Rules’ 1986”. Based on above order, Govt. of Rajasthan allowed sand mining permission to the proposed leases up to 28 th February’ 2014, which was further extended till 31st March 2014. On 27 th March 2014, Hon’ble Supreme Court of India has further extended this duration till further order, which is awaited.

1.3 SAND MINING The main purpose of river bed mining is given below:- This is very essential to prevent the riverbed from becoming shallow due to the deposition of sediments. If riverbed sand is not mined, the widening of river banks will result in excessive erosion; causing further damage to flora, agricultural land and settlements situated in close proximity. If the river bed becomes shallow the course of the river might change and the water retention capacity will also decrease. Protecting river banks and avoids flooding. Reducing submergence of adjoining agricultural lands. Protection of crops being cultivated along the river bank. Reducing aggradations of river level. Generating useful economic resource for construction. Generating employment Improvement in socio-economic conditions of the people around.

41. Details of replenishment studies. Replenishment of sand/ Bajri will be very much depended on rainfall and run-off from surrounding areas. Dandy - Bolton equations has been used to calculate the sedimentation yield. The total annual sediment deposition was computed and found 3,42,712 tonnes /year. The data works out to be around 15%, which after detailed study will show some divergence. A preliminary replenishment study of Banas River was also carried out by Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Roorkee on dated 18 th – 19 th June, 2014. It has been concluded that “the intervening catchment of the Banas River shall contribute sand to the Banas River through soil erosion and replenish the River if the sand from the river shall be lifted/ mined”. Hence, a comprehensive replenishment study is envisaged for few continuous years to understand the pattern and potential of sedimentation and replenishment. The detail of replenishment study is discussed in Section - VI, Sub section – 6.3 of EIA/ EMP Report. 42. Details of Transportation of mined out Traffic analysis was carried out to understanding the materials as per the Indian Road carrying capacity of the roads near to the project site Congress for both the ways (loaded as and the connecting main roads in the area.

2.2 NEED OF THE PROJECT In India, sand mining is carried out over the years. But earlier the sand mining did not require any Environmental Clearance. It is regulated by laws in many places, but is still often done illegally. Earlier in Rajasthan, for excavation of riverbed sand, royalty contract was given by Department of Mines & Geology. Uncontrolled sand mining from the riverbed leads to the destruction of the entire river system. To control illegal mining, Hon'ble Supreme Court stated in order given dated 27.02.2012 that all mining projects of minor minerals (including river bed mining) and their renewal, irrespective of the size of the lease would henceforth require prior Environment Clearance. Therefore, Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) has issued guidelines on 18.05.2012 for Implementation of Apex Court Order for mining projects of minor minerals for their Environmental Clearance. Therefore the riverbed sand mining project requires prior Environmental Clearance. To regulate and minimize the impacts of riverbed sand mining; mining will be carried out scientifically and systematically as per approved Mining Plan.

2.3 AMENITIES/ FACILITIES The site services like rest room shelter, first-aid facility, mines office etc. will be provided to workers at the mine site during operational phase. As per the guidelines no permanent structure will be constructed within the lease area interrupting the river course. Mine office will be established in mobile container. Temporary structures / tents will be used as rest room for mine workers. In the rest room drinking water and first aid facility will be provided. However, the nearest basic amenities/ facilities available within 10 km study area and is given in able 2.2. Table 2.2: Basic Amenities / Facilities within the Study Area S.

2.6.1 METHOD OF WORKING River bed mining is for extracting sand from Banas and Kothari Rivers. As per RMMC Rules, 1986 extraction is limited to 3.0 m depth only. River bed is dry. Lease area allotted is 1947.12 ha in Tehsil & District – Bhilwara. Total length of the area as per the description report stretches in the length of 67.40 Km. The salient features of mode of working as per approved Mining Plan are:- Entire stretch of the lease area will be divided in to five blocks (A, B, C, D & E) for ease of operation, supervision, management and safety. Workings will be restricted within the lease area. The mining will be done by forming only one bench because mining is limited up to 3 m depth from river bed. The height of the benches will be restricted to 3.0 m and width will be approx 20 m. Bench will advance parallel to the banks of the river. Extraction activities will start in the blocks from the upstream side to downstream side. This will not obstruct the movement of water, if any, during monsoon period in the river course. Roads in the lease area for the movement of loaded trippers / trucks will not have slopes more than 1 in 20. Roads will be properly made and sprayed by water sprinkling will be done for dust suppression. Total extent of lease is 67.40 Km including prohibited area. Every block will have its own approach roads, which already exists and is well connected to main highways. Light weight excavators will be used for loading of mineral in tippers / trucks. No OB / waste material will be produced. No drilling / blasting required as the material is loose in nature. No processing of mineral will be done.

2.7 CONCEPTUAL MINING PLAN The digging depth will be restricted to 3.0m only or 1.0m above the ground water table. This will be further replenished to some extent during rainy season. As the lease period is 5 years, some of the area will be left un-worked at the end of lease period.

2.7.1 FINAL SLOPE ANGLE TO BE ADOPTED The height of the bench will be limited to 3.0m and width will be around 20.0m. However, the height of the bank with respect to river bed is varying from 4.0 to 6.0m. River bank side will be protected by 20.0m offset. Natural slope of river bank will not be disturbed. This will avoid collapsing of bank and will also prevent erosion.

2.7.2 ULTIMATE EXTENT & SIZE OF PIT The pit limit will be restricted up to 3.0m below the ground level or 1.0m above the water table.

3.0 DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT

3.1 INTRODUCTION EIA process requires the primary baseline data collection to know the information on the biophysical, social and economic settings of the mine site. The criteria of the baseline data collection was based on the impact zone on both the sides of the river bank which was expected to be around the 2-3 km from both the sides. The stations were considered based on their sensitivity by considering the close proximity with the sensitive zones like reserve forests and expected high pollutant concentration zones like Naka etc. The baseline data have been collected as per CPCB guidelines in the month of October, November and December’ 2013. The following criteria were adopted while selecting the monitoring locations:- One location on the upwind depending upon the wind profile/ pattern. Two locations on the downwind side depending upon wind pattern (predominant directions). One location covering the sensitive areas within the vicinity. One location covering the transportation convergences route. One location covering the major habitation. One location on the downwind direction where the max GLC’s are falling. The monitoring station selected is as described under:- Table 3.1: List of Monitoring Stations

3.6.2 RESULT Surface Water The results obtained for the collected samples indicate that the surface water qualities were found to be well within the prescribed standards Limits (Class C).

Ground Water The analysis results indicate that pH and conductivity of the groundwater was to be in range of 6.87 – 7.32 and 1436-4176 µS/cm. The TDS were found to be in the range of 934 – 2706 mg/l. Other parameters like chlorides and sulphate were observed to be well within the prescribed limits but sulphate is found to be little high in village Swaroopgun (436.1 mg/l). The physic – chemical analysis for some of the parameters has exceeded the standards as per IS: 10500. The water quality is not potable in nature and needs necessary treatment before drinking. The necessary treatment required to minimize the impact has been mentioned in EMP and cost to be borne by the Project Proponent has been given in CSR activities.

3.7 AIR ENVIRONMENT The prime objective of the baseline air monitoring was to evaluate the existing air quality of the area. This will also be useful for assessing the conformity to standards of the ambient air quality during the operation of the mine. The baseline status of the air quality has been assessed though a scientifically designed ambient air quality monitoring network based on the following considerations:- Meteorological conditions on synoptic scale; Topography of the study area; Representatives of regional background air quality for obtaining baseline status; and Representatives of likely impact areas.

above the ground water table, whichever less. Therefore, the mining will not intersect the ground water table. Loss of aquatic habitat is minimized because the river bed mining will be carried only in dry bed which will not disturb the riverine ecosystem. The mine working will remain confined to river bed only and in no case mining will disturb any surface area outside the river bed which may affect topography or drainage. The mining from river bed will not have any impact on natural drainage of surrounding area as the excavated sand from river bed is filled with first heavy flow in river during monsoon season

4.4 AIR ENVIRONMENT 4.4.1 AIR QUALITY IMPACT PREDICTIONS (AQIP) The major sources of air pollution from the mine are dust generation due to loading & transportation of mineral and wind erosion of exposed material. In this present study, United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA – 42 series) approved mathematical equations, have been used to predict emission rates for different operations in mining including the mineral transportation.

4.4.2 DETAILS OF EMISSIONS The sources of pollutants were identified. Mineral excavation was identified as area source emission, loading and unloading of minerals as point source and transportation routes were identified as line source. Appropriate mathematical equations will be used to calculate the emission rates for the various mining operations. Due to low sulphur

content in diesel and petrol, the SO 2 emission due to vehicular movements was not considered.

4.5 NOISE ENVIRONMENT 4.5.1 SOURCE Main noise generating sources are operation of mining equipments and movements of vehicles. Transportation activities are the main source of noise production.

4.5.2 IMPACT PREDICTION To understand the combined effect of these noise levels on the nearby community, Custic 3.2 (Lakes Environmental – USEPA approved) scientific model has been used to estimate the noise levels at different distances from the proposed mine site. All the major noise generating machineries like excavator, tippers/ trucks, loader etc., are considered in this model. The noise level at various locations due to different sources is calculated based on the following formula:

Lp 2 = Lp 1 – 20 log (r 2 / r 1) – Ae 1, 2

Where, Lp 1 and Lp 2 - Sound Levels at points located at distance r 1 / r 2 from the source

Ae 1,2 - Excess Attenuation due to Environmental Conditions. Combined effects from different sources at various locations are then computed by the following equation:

Lp (total) = 10 log (10 Lpx /10 + 10 Lpy /10 +10 Lpz /10) ) Where, Lpx, Lpy, Lpz are noise pressure levels at a point due to different sources.

The predicted noise levels based on the above analysis in the nearby villages, considering that there is no attenuation on account of barriers or green belt/plantation will be as follows:- Table 4.3: Cumulative Noise Level due to Various Noise Generating Sources [All values in dB(A)] LOCATION MAX.EXISTING PREDICTED RESULTANT CPCB Standard, Leq (day) MAX Leq(day) Dhulkhera 52.6 43.5 53.1 55 Palri 52.4 36 52.5 55 Suwana 51.6 35 51.7 55 Mandpiya 52.4 39.4 52.6 55 Swaroopgunj 51.9 39.4 52.1 55 Bhainsakundal 51.2 37.5 51.4 55 Jawasiya 51.3 41.9 51.8 55

From the above, it is clearly seen that there will be no significant impact on the surrounding community due to noise from the proposed activity. Further due to natural attenuation effects, by proper green belt development, design/ maintenance of machines, etc., the impact on noise levels will be minimal.

4.5.3 MITIGATION MEASURES Impact Mitigation Measures Noise impact due to mining The noise levels from all these sources are periodical and restricted to activities particular operation. Noise impact due to vehicular The noise measurement data indicated that present noise levels in the movement study area is within the permissible limits of National Ambient Noise Auditory impact Quality Standards. Periodical monitoring of noise will be done. No other equipments except the transportation vehicles and excavator for loading will be allowed. Noise generated by these equipments will be intermittent and does not

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAMME

5.1 INTRODUCTION Regular monitoring of environmental parameters is of immense importance to assess the status of environment during project operation. The knowledge of baseline conditions, the monitoring programme will serve as an indicator for any deterotriation in environmental conditions due to operation of the project, to enable taking up suitable mitigatory steps in time to safeguard the environment. Monitoring is an important as that of control of pollution since the efficiency of control measures can only be determined by monitoring. An impact assessment study is carried over short period of time and the data cannot bring out all variations induced by the natural or human activities. Therefore, regular monitoring programme of the environmental parameters is essential to take into account the changes in the environmental quality.

5.2 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND REPORTING PROCEDURE Monitoring will conform that commitments are being met. This may take the form of direct measurement and recording of quantitative information, such as amount and concentrations of discharges. The objectives of the monitoring are:- Very effectiveness of planning decisions; Measure effectiveness of operational procedures; Conform statutory and corporate compliance; and Identify unexpected changes.

5.3 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING CELL A centralized Environmental Monitoring Cell will be established for monitoring of important and crucial environmental parameters which are of immense importance to assess the status of environment during mine operation. With the knowledge of initial parameters, deviations in environmental conditions due to operation of the mine will be assessed and suitable mitigation steps will be taken to safeguard the environment. The routine monitoring program will be implemented under the project monitoring as per CPCB guidelines. The core responsibilities of the Environmental Monitoring Cell will be:-

5.4.1 MONITORING SCHEDULE DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE As the project is new and the working period will be only for 5 years, therefore, most of the infrastructural facilities will be temporary. The project will utilize mobile office room, temporary rest room, portable toilets etc. Hence nominal impact on the environment due to construction activity is expected.

5.4.2 MONITORING SCHEDULE DURING OPERATIONAL PHASE During operational phase, dust will be the main pollutant which arises from different mining activities. The major attributes which merit regular monitoring based on the environmental setting and nature of project activities are listed below:- Source emission and ambient air quality; Ground water levels and ground water quality; Water and waste water quality; Soil quality; Noise levels (equipment and machinery noise levels, occupational exposures and ambient noise levels); and Ecological preservation and afforestation.

5.5 MONITORING METHODS 5.5.1 AMBIENT AIR QUALITY MONITORING 5.5.1.1 Workspace Monitoring The concentration of air borne pollutants in the workspace/ work zone environment will be monitored periodically. If concentrations higher than threshold limit values will be observed, the source of fugitive emissions will be identified and necessary measures will be taken as detailed in EMP. 5.5.1.2 Ambient Air Quality Monitoring

The ground level concentrations of PM 10 , PM 2.5 , SO 2, NO x and CO in the ambient air will be monitored at regular intervals. Any abnormal rise will be investigated to identify the

causes and appropriate actions will be initiated. Greenbelt will be developed for minimizing dust propagation.

5.5.2 MONITORING OF WATER QUALITY 5.5.2.1 Monitoring of Ground Water The monitoring of groundwater is the most important tool to find out the depletion/ increase in level of water table. Water table will be monitored at regular interval to check the behavior pattern of the water table. It is suggested to collect water samples and analyze. Records of analysis will be maintained.

5.5.2.2 Monitoring of Surface Water Samples will be collected from well-mixed section of the river (main stream) and will be analyzed.

5.5.3 MONITORING NOISE LEVELS Noise levels in the work zone environment shall be monitored. The frequency will be once in three months in the work zone. Similarly, ambient noise levels near habitations will also be monitored once in three months. Audiometric tests will be conducted periodically for the employees working close to the high noise sources.

5.6 REPORTING SCHEDULES OF THE REPORTING DATA It is proposed that voluntary reporting of environmental performance with reference to the EMP will be undertaken. The Environmental Monitoring Cell will co-ordinate all monitoring programmes at site and data thus generated will be regularly furnished to the State regulatory agencies. The frequency of reporting will be on six monthly basis to the local state PCB officials and to the Regional Office of MoEF&CC. The Environmental Audit reports will be prepared for the entire year of operations and will be regularly submitted to regulatory authorities.

5.7 CONCLUSION Post Environmental monitoring is an essential step in the EIA process, if the predicted impacts, the efficiency of mitigation measures and the shortcomings of prediction methods, measures and even regulations are to be verified and EIA practice improved. Environmental indicators could contribute to designing and evaluating monitoring

Bajri mining is done by open cast semi-mechanized method. Mining is done only within the allotted river stretch located near revenue villages of Tehsil & District-Bhilwara, Rajasthan. The lease area is 1947.12 ha. There is no land degradation due to mining activities as mining is done only on river bed surface. There will be no OB or waste generation as the sand is exposed in the river bed. There will be neither any stacking of soil nor creation of OB dumps. So, no dumping area as well as stock piling area is required. Therefore, there is no chance of failure of dumps and no slope failure due to OB dump and stock piling. However, there are various factors, which can create unsafe working conditions / hazards in mining of Bajri (minor minerals) from river bed. The following types of hazards are identified during the Bajri mining operations:- 1. Accident during sand/mineral loading, transportation and dumping 2. Accident due to vehicular movement 3. Inundation/ Flooding 4. Quick Sand Condition

6.2.3 MITIGATION MEASURES 6.2.3.1 Measures to prevent accidents during loading The following activities will be done to minimize the risk are:- a. At the time of loading no person will be there within the swing radius of the excavator/ JCB. b. The dumpers/ trucks will stand near the loading equipment and fully braked when the muck is filled in it. c. The truck would be brought to a lower level so that the loading operation suits to the ergonomic condition of the workers. d. The workers will be provided with gloves and safety shoes during loading. e. Opening of the side covers (pattas) should be done carefully and with warning to prevent injury to the loaders. f. Operations during daylight only.

6.2.3.2 Measures to prevent accidents during vehicular movement & transportation The following activities will be done to minimize the risk are:- a. The truck will be covered with tarpaulin and maintained to prevent any spillage. b. To avoid danger while reversing the trackless vehicles especially at the embankment and tipping points, all areas for reversing of lorries should be made man free as far as possible.

etc. The capability of lessee to meet such eventualities and the assistance to be required from the local authorities should be described. The shallow depth of activities in river bed mining will not involve any high risk accident due to side falls/collapse. The complete mining operation will be carried out under the Management and control of experienced and qualified Mines Manager having Certificate of Competency to manage the mines granted by DGMS. All the provisions of Mines Act 1952, MMR 1961 and Mines Rules 1955 and other laws applicable to mine will strictly be complied with. During heavy rainfall the mining activities will be closed. All persons in supervisory capacity will be provided with proper communication facilities. Proper coordination with Irrigation Department will be maintained so that at the time of releasing water, if any, from the dam suitable warning/information is given in advance .

6.4 OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH HAZARDS Dry- pit mining by open cast method involves dust generation by excavation, loading and transportation of mineral. At site, during excavation and loading activity, dust is main pollutant which affects the health of workers whereas environmental and climatic conditions also generate the health problems. Addressing the occupational health hazard means gaining an understanding of the source (its location and magnitude or concentration), identifying an exposure pathway (e.g. a means to get it in contact with someone), and determination of likely a receptor (someone receiving the stuff that is migrating). Occupational hazard due to sand mining mainly comes under the physical hazards. Possible physical hazards are as below mention:-

6.4.1 PHYSICAL HAZRADS DUE TO MINING OPERATIONS Following health related hazards were indentified due to riverbed sand mining operations to the workers:- 1. Light: - The workers may be exposed to the risk of poor illumination or excessive brightness. The effects are eye strain, headache, eye pain and lachrymation, congestion around the cornea and eye fatigue. 2. Heat and Humidity: - The most common physical hazard is heat. The direct effects of heat exposure are burns, heat exhaustion, heat stroke and heat cramps; the

indirect effects are decreased efficiency, increased fatigue and enhanced accident rates. Heat and humidity are encountered in hot and humid condition when temperatures and air temperatures increase in summer time up to 48 0C or above in the river bed mining area. 3. Eye Irritation: - During the high windy days in summer the sand could be the problems for eyes like itching and watering of eyes. 4. Respiratory Problems: - Large amounts of dust in air can be a health hazard, exacerbating respiratory disorders such as asthma and irritating the lungs and bronchial passages. 5. Noise Induced Hearing Loss: - Machinery is the main source of noise pollution at the mine site.

6.4.2 MANAGEMENT Particulars Control Measures Heat & Light The mine site will have adequate drinking water supply so that workers do not get dehydration. Lightweight and loose fitting clothes having light colors will be preferred to wear. Rigorous exercise and more physical activities will be avoided in hot weather.

6.5 REPLENISHMENT STUDY Replenishment Rate is the rate at which sand/ gravel is transported into the river channel, due to sand extraction. Dandy - Bolton formula is used to calculate the sedimentation yield which uses catchment area and mean annual runoff as key determinants to give a yield value.

PROJECT: - RIVER BED SAND MINING SECTION –VI – ADDITIONAL STUDIES APPLICANT: - SANJAY KUMAR GARG DOCUMENT NO.: - EESPL/ SKG/ 001/ 149 – EC/ Mine/ 2013

6.5.1 DANDY - BOLTON EQUATION Dandy Bolton formula is often used to calculate the sedimentation yield. But use of these equations to predict sediment yield for a specific location would be unwise because of the wide variability caused by local factors not considered in the equations development. However, they may provide a quick, rough approximation of mean sediment yields on a regional basis for preliminary planning. The accuracy of the sedimentation surveys varied, ranging from reconnaissance type measurements of sediment deposits to detailed surveys. Dandy- Bolton determined the combined influence of runoff and drainage area on sediment yield to compute the sediment yield. They develop two equations i.e. for run off less than 2 inch and for run off more than 2 inch, which are given below:- For run off less than 2 inches (Q < 2 in)

For run off more than 2 inches (Q > 2 in):

Where: S = Sediment yield (tons/ mi 2/ yr) Sr = Reference sediment yield value = 1645 tons/ mi2/ yr Q = Mean Annual runoff (inch) Qr = Reference Mean Annual runoff = 2 in A = Net drainage area (mi 2) Ar = Reference Net drainage area = 1 mi 2 The calculation of catchment area is based on SRTM data processed using ARCGIS software. The mean annual rainfall of Bhilwara district is 566 mm as per Monsoon 2013 Report, Water Resource Department, Govt. of Rajasthan. The total run off which will contribute in sediment yield will be considered as 75% of total rainfall i.e. 356 mm. The computations for total annual suspended and bed load sediment yield are given below:- Sediment Yield:- For run off less than 2 inches (Q < 2 in) For run off more than 2 inches (Q > 2 in)

Where:- Q (in) = Mean Annual run off = 475 mm = 18.71 inch A (mi 2) = Catchment area= 1723 km 2 = 665.25 mi 2 Sediment Yield, S (tonnes/ yr) = 1965 e - 0.055Q [1.43-0.26 log (A)]

PROJECT: - RIVER BED SAND MINING SECTION –VI – ADDITIONAL STUDIES APPLICANT: - SANJAY KUMAR GARG DOCUMENT NO.: - EESPL/ SKG/ 001/ 149 – EC/ Mine/ 2013

S = 1965 e-0.055 x 18.71 [1.43 - 0.26 log (3906.65754)] S = 3,42,712 tonnes/ year Thus, 3,42,712 tonnes/ year sediment will be regenerated every year in the catchment area as replenishment against the quantities mined out. The area 1,723 km 2 is representing the catchment area of the Banas & Kothari River in Bhilwara district. The total river stretches on which mining activities will be carried out in the area is 67.4 km and spread in river stretches 38.6 Km on Banas and 28.80 Km on Kothari River. Therefore, the sediment yield 3,42,712 tonnes/ year was calculated for the mine. The maximum annual production is 22,40,000 tonnes/ year. The amount of sediment regenerated every year will be 3,42,712 tonnes/ year in the catchment area. Therefore, the percentage of replenishment is about 15% every year. The hypothetical derivation of replenishment data is not supported by any ground evidence as the same can be derived only after annual study due to inconsistent rains in Rajasthan. The derived replenishment data is based on macro-watershed data taken from satellite imagery with sample ground truthing and annual average rainfall. The data works out to be around 15% which after detailed study will show some divergence. The data derived is based on SRTM 30 m resolution processed using ARCGIS software with linear and resolution factors affecting the derivation. In addition to this, a preliminary replenishment study on River Banas was carried out by Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Roorkee on dated 18 th – 19 th June, 2014 by Prof. Z. Ahmed, Professor, Civil Engineering Department, IIT Roorkee. After this preliminary study, it has been concluded that “the intervening catchment of the Banas River i.e., from downstream of Bisalpur dam to the confluence of Banas River with Chambal River shall contribute sand to the Banas River through soil erosion and replenish the River if the sand from the river shall be lifted/ mined.” In the light of above observation, a comprehensive replenishment study is envisaged during the rainy season at least for few continuous years as the river is seasonal not perennial to understand the pattern and potential of sedimentation and replenishment.

6.6 TRAFFIC STUDY A traffic study is an investigation to evaluate a transportation system. The study is a means of identifying and documenting any deficiencies or improvements both- operational and physical - necessary to accommodate current or projected traffic volumes. Traffic impact study can be used to help evaluate whether the development is appropriate for a site and what type of transportation improvements may be necessary. It will help:-

PROJECT: - RIVER BED SAND MINING SECTION –VI – ADDITIONAL STUDIES APPLICANT: - SANJAY KUMAR GARG DOCUMENT NO.: - EESPL/ SKG/ 001/ 149 – EC/ Mine/ 2013

Considering the need for smooth traffic flow; it is recommended that normally LOS-C be adopted for design of urban roads. At this level volume of traffic will be around 0.70 times the maximum capacity. Capacity or Design Service volume is the maximum hourly volume at which vehicle can reasonably be expected to transfers a point or uniform section of a lane or road way during a given time period. As per IRC 64: 1990 guidelines, ratio of existing volume of PCU on roads (V) and its capacity (C) with corresponding level of services (LOS) and their performance is given below:- Table 6.5: Referenced V/C Ratio for Level of Service and Performance of the Road V/C LOS Performance 0.0 - 0.2 A Excellent 0.2 - 0.4 B Very Good 0.4 - 0.6 C Good / Average / Fair 0.6 - 0.8 D Poor 0.8 - 1.0 E Very Poor

(Note: Capacity as per IRC: 64-1990)

6.6.2 TRAFFIC ANALYSIS AS PER IRC GUIDELINES Traffic analysis is carried out by understanding the existing carrying capacity of the roads near to the project site and the connecting main roads in the area. Then depending on the capacity of the mine, the number of trucks that will be added to the present scenario will be compared to the carrying capacity. The roads connect from the mine site to NH-79. These roads are wide enough to facilitate easy and smooth movement of heavy duty trucks. During mining operation, there are 34 trucks per hour will be deployed from the mine site. Detail of truck capacity, no. of trucks and working hours are given below:- Table 6.6: Working Details Total Capacity of Mine 2.24 MMTA Lease Area 1947.12 Ha No. of Blocks 5 (Blocks- A, B, C, D & E) No. of Working Days 280 days Truck Capacity 20 tonnes No. of Trucks Deployed/ Day 400 trucks Working Hours per Day 12 hours No. of Trucks Deployed/Hr 34 trucks

6.6.2.1 Traffic Scenario in Nearby Project Site River bed mining is carried out in revenue villages of Bhilwara tehsil, Bhilwara district. Mined out Bajri/ Sand are dispatched to the destination places via village road which finally met to the highway NH-79. At present, the traffic load at village road and highway are 26 and 64 vehicles/hr. The traffic scenario with project & LOS are given below:- Table 6.7: Traffic Scenario and LOS Road Vol. in Capacity in Modified V /C LOS PCU’s/hr (V) PCU’s/ hr (C) ratio Village Road 63 250 0.25 B NH-79 intersection 120 625 0.19 A

From the above analysis it can be concluded that the V/C ratio is likely to change from 0.104 to 0.25 and 0.102 to 0.19 for village road and Highway respectively. So, the modified level of service becomes ‘B’ for village which is ‘very good’ but for Highway LOS remains same i.e. ‘A’ (Excellent) as per classification. Hence, the additional load on the carrying capacity of the concerned roads is not likely to have any significant adverse impact due to proposed project.

6.6.3 TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT The movement of trucks at the mine site will be regulated as per the traffic rules framed and given below:- • Driver of the truck will park the vehicle at the ear marked site and report at the site office /security check post. • After submission of documents, checking, making entries driver will be given a TOKEN and directed to report for loading to a particular block/ equipment. • After the TOKEN is checked and verified, truck will be loaded and allowed to move out. • After reaching the truck terminal driver will park the vehicle and report back to the site office/check post. • Permit as per rules will be given which will be again checked at the security check post before the vehicle moves out of the terminal premises. • Only R.T.O. passed vehicle will be allowed for loading and up to the permissible limit. • An engineer or supervisor will check the vehicle for brakes and its general condition. • No gate pass will be given to the vehicle to move out unless covered with tarpaulin.

7.0 PROJECT BENEFITS

7.1 GENERAL The demand of Bajri has been rising in the state as a result of rising in construction activities and development of the proposed project aims to fulfill the supply of Bajri. Hence, the fine quality of mineral will be used further for development. The sediment in the form of river bed material (RBM) deposited is of critical importance in civil and other infrastructural activities. The proposed project lies on the river beds of Banas and Kothari. The quality of Bajri is fine and appropriate for the mega infrastructural activities. The demand for Bajri is ever growing with the growth of the infrastructure sector in our country. The mineral is used mainly in the construction activities like buildings, bridges etc. The requirement for the mineral is always high in the nearby cities and towns. Therefore, there is always a good demand of the mineral in the domestic market. The local region demand is increasing; hence newer areas for Bajri reserves are approached. The apparent domestic demand for Bajri is estimated at 125 million tonnes by 2013-14 which will rise to 165 million tonnes in 2015-16. The capacity of proposed project is 2.24 million tonnes. Hence, the proposed project aims to fill the demand – supply gap through optimum allocation and excavation of natural resources required to meet the demand effectively in the local region. This will also generate much needed employment to the local people. Economy of the area will get a boost and there will be overall growth of the region in terms of education, health, training, transport, automobile, industry. The standard of living accordingly will also get an upliftment on the positive side.

7.2 EMPLOYEMENT 7.2.1 DIRECT EMPLOYMENT During the operational phase, about 122 people will be employed directly. Considering that some of the skilled personnel to be employed for the project will be from outside the area and unskilled/ semiskilled personnel will be from within the study area, the project will add to the well being of the area. In addition to the workforce the indirect employment will also be generated for local persons. It will help in bringing prosperity to the area. The employment details are given below:-

7.2.2 INDIRECT EMPLOYMENT The project will also provide some indirect employment to the people of nearby area of mine site. Some people will get engaged in some pet shops like tea shop, vehicle repair centre etc. It will also provide some need based opportunity to the local public. The project will provide following indirect employment to the local people:- The Bajri available will provide agency employment in the value chain analysis, for place utility and retail. Transportation and warehousing in the region required to transfer the mineral will eventually be needed and therefore trucks and jobs in logistical activities will come up. There will be development of externalities for the mine workers petty shops (tea, repair stations for trucks etc.) as supporting services. As there would be vocational training camps and Technical Training of mining to the regional people, hence there will be potential manpower available for the proposed and surrounding mines of the Tehsil. This would create Indigenous Technologies for sustainable development.

7.3 IMPROVEMENTS IN PHYSICAL AND SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE The proposed project will enhance the socio-economic activities in the adjoining areas. This will result in following benefits: Improvements in physical infrastructure. Improvements in social Infrastructure. Increase in employment potential. Contribution to the exchequer. Prevention of illegal mining which will help in sustaining the river and its aesthetic value. Post-mining enhancement of green cover.

7.3.1 IMPROVEMENTS IN PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE It is a new project. It will give numerous positive impacts on society such as growth in schools, hospitals, hotels, transport etc. It will also attract other entrepreneur to establish their venture in the region. The project will improve the physical infrastructure of the adjoining areas. This will include the following:- Improved road communication;

Strengthening of existing community facilities through the Community Development Programme; Rain water reservoir to augment the water availability for irrigation and plantation; Skill development & capacity building like vocational training to persons for income generation Awareness program and community activities, like health camps, family welfare programs, immunization camp, sports & cultural activities, plantation etc.

7.3.2 IMPROVEMENTS IN SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE There will be some obvious changes in various environmental parameters due to mining activity. Increase socio-economic activities, creation of new employment opportunities, infra-structural development, better educational and health facilities. Following are the benefits in specific area of social domain:- Socio-Economic:- There will be positive impact in socio-economic area due to increased economic activities, creation of new employment opportunities, infrastructural development and better educational and health facilities. Health Care Facilities:- Company will undertake awareness program and community activities like health, camps, family welfare camps, AIDS awareness program etc. Company will spent total Rs 6.0 lacs on health care and allied facilities including Rs 2.0 lacs for health check up camps, Rs 2.0 lacs for Surveillance programme of the workers and Rs 2.0 lacs for Insurance cover of workers. Employment Potential:- There is a possibility of creation of direct and indirect employment opportunities due to working of this mine. The mine will contribute to the Exchequer of State and Central Government as per norms.

7.3 PLANTATION The lease area is in the river bed and devoid of any vegetation. Mining activities will not cause any harm to riparian vegetation cover as the working will not extend beyond the offset left against the banks. Plantation will be carried out as social forestry programme in villages, school and the areas allocated by the Panchayat / State authorities. Plantation has been proposed on both sides of the roads as greenbelt to provide cover against dust dissemination. A massive plantation will be done nearby the mine area to mitigate the ill-effects of mining and to improve environment of its surrounding area.

8.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

8.1 INTRODUCTION A project specific Environmental Management Plan has been formulated subsequent to an EIA study as per the requisite Terms of Reference to ensure that the appropriate environmental management practices are followed in compliance with the environmental legislation. It has been evaluated that the study area has not been affected adversely with the proposed activity and likely to get new economical fillip, not only for the study area but also for the region as a whole. Environmental Management for the mining activity is discussed for environmental impact pertains to the operational phase. Even though is reversible in nature all the impacts will be visible only during operational phase. The EMP will therefore be initiated during operational phase.

8.2 CRITICAL ACTIVITIES FOR EMP IMPLEMENTATION 1. Training and Environmental Awareness; 2. Documentation and Record Keeping; 3. Reporting Procedures; 4. Stakeholder/ Project Proponent Engagement; 5. Auditing; 6. Responding to Non-compliance;

8.3 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN S. No. Particular Management Plan 1. Land Environment Safety zone of about 45m on each side of the rail/ road bridges and 45m radius around the wells located in the river bed have been earmarked. Bajri excavation will not be carried out in this zone. 20m offset will be left against the banks to protect from side collapse. Soil quality will be monitored from strategic locations and analysis will be done once in every two years. To prevent erosion, moving the road or footpath will be kept away from the river’s edge. Care will be taken to ensure that ponding is not formed in the river bed. 2. Water Environment Based on baseline data, corrective measures will be taken. Measurement of water level fluctuations to assess impact of mining activity on

the water table depletion in close proximity of dug wells and bore wells. Rainwater harvesting (percolation tank) has been proposed for augmenting ground water resources and for arresting/ reversing the declining trends of ground water levels. Regular monitoring and analysis of water samples at strategic locations will be carried out to monitor the water quality of the area. 3. Air Environment Unpaved Roads Water sprinkling will be done for dust suppression. Leveling of roads will be done to maintain the uniform speed of the trucks/ tippers. Paved Roads The roads will be maintained. Regular cleaning will be done to reduce the chances of road dust to become airborne. Water sprinkling will be done on a fixed stretch of paved road passing through the villages. Adequate transportation routes will be decided to transport the mineral and will be maintained properly. Speed breakers will be constructed to restrict the speed of transporting vehicles. However, limiting of vehicular speed will be adopted. Transportation The vehicles will be maintained to control the air emissions. The speed of the vehicles will be maintained uniform. PUC certified vehicles will be used. The loaded vehicles will be covered with tarpaulin. Over loading will be avoided. Other Measures Personal Protective Equipments like dust mask, ear plugs, ear muffs etc. will be provided to the persons/ workers. Regular monitoring and analysis will be carried out through collection of air samples from strategic monitoring sites. If the parameters go beyond the permissible tolerance limits, corrective regulation measure will be taken. 4. Noise Environment Noisy activities will be scheduled at normal working hours (daytime hours) to the extent possible when the environment is least sensitive to noise impact. Regular inspection and maintenance of vehicles and equipment will be performed to ensure efficiency and worn parts will be replaced. Limited numbers of equipments will be used on-site. The vehicles will be maintained in good condition and overloading will be avoided.

Speed limits will be enforced in relation to road conditions and on-route communities. Road surfaces will be maintained in good condition to reduce tyre noise and to assure continuous traffic flow to avoid prolonged idling. Noise monitoring will be conducted on a regular basis to determine compliance with noise criteria. Personal protective devices i.e., earmuffs and earplugs will be provided to workers, working in high noise areas. Periodical medical checkup will be organized for all workers to check any noise related health problems. 5. Occupational Health and Safety Heat & Light The mine site will have adequate drinking water supply so that workers do not get dehydrated. Lightweight and loose fitting clothes having light colors will be preferred to wear. Rigorous exercise and more physical activities will be avoided in hot weather. Noise Noise exposure measurements will be taken to determine the need for noise control strategies. The personal protective equipment will be provided for mine workers. Supervisor will be instructed for reporting any problems with hearing protectors or noise control equipment. At noisy working activity, exposure time will be minimized. Machineries will be labeled with noise levels. Dust Control Dust generating sources will be identified and proper control measure will be adopted. Face mask will be provided during mining activity. Periodic medical examinations will be provided for all workers. Awareness program will be organized for workers. 6. Biological Environment Mining activities will not cause any harm to riparian vegetation cover as the working will not extend beyond the offset left against the banks. The lease area is devoid of any vegetation. Hence, It is proposed to develop social forestry in the approach villages at public places like School, PHC’s, Panchayat Bhawan with due permission from Panchayat and in consultation with Forest Department/ local authorities. A total of about 37,500 trees of native species along with some fruit bearing and medicinal trees will be planted at various places in a span of five years. The green belt development will be carried out by Project Proponent and maintenance will be done by the villagers/ NGO’s with their active participations.

PROJECT: - RIVER BED SAND MINING SECTION – IX - SUMMARY & CONCLUSION APPLICANT: - SANJAY KUMAR GARG DOCUMENT NO.: - EESPL/ SKG/ 001/ 149 – EC/ Mine/ 2013

Entire stretch of the lease area will be divided into two zones i.e. Zone I & Zone II which will further divided into five blocks (Block A, B & C in Zone - I and Block D & E in Zone - II) for ease of operation, supervision, management and safety. Workings will be restricted within the lease area. The mining will be done by forming only one bench because mining is limited up to 3 m depth from river bed. The height of the benches will be restricted to 3.0 m and width will be approx 20 m. Bench will advance parallel to the bank of the river. Extraction activities will start in the blocks from the upstream side to downstream side. This will not obstruct the movement of water, if any, during monsoon period in the river course. Roads in the lease area for the movement of loaded trippers / trucks will not have slopes more than 1 in 20. Roads will be properly maintained and water sprinkling will be done for dust suppression. Every block will have its own approach roads, which already exists and is well connected to main highways. Light weight excavators will be used for loading of mineral in tippers/ trucks. No OB/ waste material will be generated. No drilling/ blasting are required as the material is loose in nature. No processing of mineral will be done.

Mining will be carried out as per approved mine plan in scientific and systematic way. Safety Zone or Buffer area will be created from the river banks to minimize the slope instability & erosion and to increase the stability of structures. These safety zones will not be mined out. Water Environment Impairment in riparian Offsets on both the side of bank will be left to prevent the collapse of sides vegetation and thereby protecting the riparian vegetation/ flora. Change in flow patterns The bajri mining will be restricted up to 3.0m from the river bed or 1.0m resulting from modification of above the water table or whichever is less. So, it will not affect the ground the river bed water. A safety zone of 45.0 m radius is being earmarked for the wells located in the river bed. In the projects, it is not proposed to divert or truncate any part of the stream. There will not be any adverse impact on surface hydrology and ground water regime due to this project. Sand mining will be done according to guidelines and rules for proper and scientific method of mining during the period of extracting the sand. Thus, the project activities shall not have any adverse affect 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. Portable toilets will be used. Sewage generated will be channelized into septic tank followed by soak pit. Continuous monitoring of ground water samples will be done as precautionary measures.

Noise due to mining activities. The noise levels from all these sources are periodical and restricted to Noise due to vehicular particular operation. movement. The noise measurement data indicated that present noise levels in the study area is within the permissible limits of National Ambient Noise Quality Standards. Thus, due to natural attenuation effects by proper green belt/ maintenance of machines etc., the impact of noise levels will be minimal. Socio -Economic Environment Employment generation The mining activity puts negligible change in the socio economic profile. Health impacts No displacement (0) is proposed due to the bajri mine. Education Facilities Approx. 122 local workers will get employment opportunities along with periodical training to generate local skills. New patterns of indirect employment/ income will generate. Regular health Check up camp. Assistance to schools and scholarship to children will be provided. Biological Environment Impact on biodiversity The core zone does not encompass any threatened flora or fauna species. Impact on threatened species However, from buffer zone, Peacock Schedule – I species was reported, for which conservation plan has been prepared. Only some common herbs, shrubs and grass will be cleared. So there will be no impact on the biodiversity. About 7,500 local and native species will be planted every year. Green belt development with suitable species will enhance the biodiversity of the project area. Implementation of conservation plan for Peacock will help to improve population status of that species.

9.5 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAMME 9.5.1 AIR Air quality monitoring will be carried out as per norms of RSPCB and CPCB.

9.5.2 WATER Regular monitoring of ground water quality will be carried out at suitable locations. Water samples will be collected four times in a year i.e. Pre - Monsoon, Monsoon, Post - Monsoon and winter.

9.5.3 NOISE Noise level will be recorded periodically at mine site near operating machines during day and night time.

9.5.4 HEALTH AND SANITATION Periodical medical checkup of workers is being done and medical facility provided. Toilets and urinals will be provided near the mine site. Drinking water will be made available to the workers.

9.6 ADDITIONAL STUDIES 9.6.1 PUBLIC HEARING Public hearing was successfully executed as per the guidelines of EIA Notification 14 th September, 2006 and its subsequent amendments on dated 23.12.2014. Issues raised during the public hearing has been properly addressed along the budgetary provision with action plan has been given in section – VI.

9.6.2 REPLENISHMENT STUDY Replenishment Rate is the rate at which sand / gravel is transported into the river channel, which is under examination or subjected to sand extraction. Dandy - Bolton equations are often used to calculate the sedimentation yield. The formula uses catchment area and mean annual runoff as key determinants to give a yield value. These equations include all types of sediment yield (sheet and rill erosion, gully erosion, channel bed and bank erosion and mass movement). The total annual suspended and bed load sediment yield is computed and found 3,42,712 tonnes / year in the catchment area as replenishment against the mined out quantities.

9.6.3 RISK ASSESSMENT & MANAGEMENT Risk analysis is the systematic study of uncertainties and risks encountered in various areas. Risk analysts seek to identify the risks involved in mining operations, to understand how and when they arise, and estimate the impact (financial or otherwise) of adverse outcomes. It also defines and analyzes the dangers to individuals, businesses and government agencies posed by potential natural and human-caused adverse events.

Bajri will not be excavated within 45m of any rail/ road bridge. Safety zone of about 45m on each side of the bridge has been earmarked. No workings will be extended in this zone. 20m offset will be left against the banks to protect side collapse/ scouring and riparian vegetation A safety zone of 45.0m radius is being earmarked for the wells located in the river bed. Regular visual observations will be made for erosion of river banks. Any irregular or abnormal condition, if observed will be taken care of. The banks will be revamped before the monsoon and during the suspension of mining activity. Soil samples collected from strategic locations and analysis will be done once in every two years with regard to poisonous constituents, if any. To prevent erosion, moving the road or footpath will be kept away from the river’s edge. Care will be taken to ensure that ponding is not formed in the river bed

9.8.2 WATER POLLUTION MANAGEMENT Some of the control measures adopted for controlling water pollution are as follows:- Based on results from monitoring corrective regulatory measures will be taken. Measurement of water level fluctuations to assess impact of mining activity on the water table depletion in close proximity of dug wells and bore wells. Rainwater harvesting has been proposed which has been accepted world wide as cost-effective methods for augmenting ground water resources and for arresting/reversing the declining trends of ground water levels. Regular monitoring and analysis of water samples at strategic locations will be carried out to monitor the water quality. Domestic waste water will be channelized into septic tank followed by soak pit.

9.8.3 AIR POLLUTION MANAGEMENT Following mitigation measures are envisaged:- The speed of the vehicles will be maintained uniform. Regular pollution checks and certification of vehicles will be done.

Over loading will be avoided and free board will be left in the loaded trucks to prevent spillage. The roads will be maintained. Regular cleaning will be done to reduce the chances of road dust to become airborne. Water sprinkling will be done on a fixed stretch of paved road passing through the villages. Natural barriers will be developed along the roadside to control the dispersion of dust particles. Fixed transportation routes will be decided to transport the sand and will be maintained properly. The use of unimproved roads will be limited to emergency use only. Speed breakers will be constructed to restrict the speed of transporting vehicles. However, limiting of vehicular speed will be adopted. Regular monitoring and analysis will be carried out through collection of air samples from strategic monitoring sites. If the parameters go beyond the permissible tolerance limits, corrective regulation measure will be taken.

9.8.4 NOISE POLLUTION MANAGEMENT The following control measures are to be undertaken to bring down the noise levels:- Noise barriers will be constructed to control the noise pollution. Noisy activities will be scheduled at normal working hours (daytime hours) to the extent possible when the environment is least sensitive to noise impact. Regular inspection and maintenance of vehicles and equipment will be performed to ensure efficiency and worn parts will be replaced. The vehicles will be maintained in good condition and overloading will not be done. Speed limits will be enforced in relation to road conditions and on-route communities. Noise monitoring will be conducted on a regular basis to determine compliance with noise criteria. Personal Protective Equipments i.e., earmuffs and earplugs will be provided to workers, working in high noise areas. Periodical medical checkup will be organized for all workers to check any noise related health problems. Operational noise level status will be displayed on machines to identify the extent of noise level and to control the exposure times at which worker are exposed to higher noise levels.
