I. TNTRODUCTION :t. The project is the part of Dhanpuri Block:rl_ located in Sohagpur Area of SECL in Shahdol District of Madhya pradesh. The nearest tor*n' is Anlai which is well connected by rail" and road. Topography of the area is gently undulating. Main drainage of the area is controlled by Nargara nalla and Bhagaiyb nalla. Clinate of the area^is tro$ical type with tenipefature ranges from '7.5o C to 460 C and 1200 nm average annual rainfall. rI. GEOLOGY & MINING TECHNOLOGY The entire block is covered by thick cover of soil and atluvium. Under this, rocks of Barakars formation exists. There are total five coal seams exist within the block. Out of these, only Seam-Vf I, Searn-VI (T) and Seam-Vf (B) are considered for mining in this project. The geological and extractable reserves are 24.875 M.te. and 15.58 M.te. respectively. Based on annual capacity of MTPA, total lif e of the rnine will be 23 years. Additional-gog!. 5 M.te. reserves available in the mine take and 5 M.te available outside the existing mine take as per latest dritr-ling data. Considering tbe techno-economics and various geo*nining parametersr bord and pillar rnethod of rnining vrith caving is Lnvisaged. This metnod is also suitable from environmental angle is there i-s least chance of damage to surface ecology and envircnment.

IrI. SOCrO-ECONOMIC. ASeECTS A study of socio-economic profile in buffer zone including coie zone (based on L991 Census Data) reveals that i"iii poiulation is' 1-423s5 consisting of 52 .88 male and 47-zZ femafe population. sc,sT population is L4.4? and 24.72 resfecti""iy,^ljiterates are otiy 4L.OZ in this area. There are 29.22 main workers supplemented by l-.14 marginal workers.

-: S.02 ;- There wiIl be overall a positive irnpact on socio- economic profile of the area'due to increase j-n employment opportunities, trade & bussiness, community development, improved commun'icat ion 1ink etc . No question of resettlernent arisesr ds no habitated area involves in the c core zone. However, SECL has adopted two villages namely, Bemouri and Bangwar for community development. Tenancy land C required for mining and surface infrastructure will be L03.829 Ha for which the provision of rehabilitation of b eligible land loosers i.s made as per GOf norms. c IV" LAND USE 6 The geological block covers a large area of LL77 Hd, ,t out of which only 5 | S",*'t) Ha area is considered for mining in this project" Details are shown in Plate-fll. (9 Buffer zone land use details have been collected based (t on 1981 Census Data. Total area comprises of 31051.49 Ha. land, out of which 45.Lt is cultivated land,9.LZ is forest (a l"and and 2l-* is urban area. Details are shown in Plate-Il. The maximum possible subsidence predicted is S.7Z m to e 5.89 m. tlajor cracks may appear on the surface due to subsidence. Provision of land restoration has been made in C the EMP. (c T. AMBISNT ATR ic

Four arnbient air monitoring stations had been fixed and r9 data had been generated. In al"l locations air quality was good and within CPCB limits with respect to SPM, SO2r NO* and CO. Y The nain sources of air and dust pollution in G underground mines are CHP, mine fans and unmetalled colliery rt roads. Air and dust pollution is being controlled through various measures like spraying of water on dust generation rt sources, green bett developmentn black topped approach roads etc. t II. WATER , Water quality in the exist.ing surface and ground water sources had been observed to be good for all physico- rb' chernical parameters except, for coliforrn organism which is due to faecal contamination. ltine discharge water was also 6 found good for all physico-chemical parameters

A IJ Main sources of vrater pollution are mine discharge, domestic effluents from colony and industrial effluents ,,4 from CHP, wor)Burhar reserve foresC oi south Snanaol Forest Division of I ltt.P. The details of flora and fauna found commonly in these forest areas have been collected from the office of the t Divisional Fotest officer, South Shahdol Division, Shahdol t -(M.P.). Detail list is given in Chapter-IX fhere is no endangered species in the area. It is a presumed that there will not be any adverse effect on the Lxisting habitate due to undergro-und nining operations. I However, some indirect impact due to developmental activity and population grot*th is expected which wil} be contrplled o by adoptinql strict protection neasures by area authorities, a I I I -: S.04 :- I I I ::. -...{,,1 G X. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT MATRTX A, The likely impacts on exixsting environment due to this (r. underground mining project have been analysed with the help of impact matrix. The impact matrix without and with c: protective measures have been shown in Table-VIII and Table,i: IX respectively. The environmental inrpact index without 6 protective measures is -1900 which indicates the appreciable impact on environment. Aft,er adopting the protective and c controL measures nentioned earlier, environmental irnpact ' index will come to +r)E which indicates the positive irnplct" {b Xr. IMPLEIYIENTATTON & MoNffoRINq QRGANISATIoN (c For proper implementation and monitoring of the control G measures suggested above, Project Authorities, State Government Representatives, Environmental Ce11 and Revenue tS Department of Area and SECL(HQ) have to draw time bound action plans against identified activities. The details G relating to organisation, interaction levels and monitoring schedule for data generation are given in Chapter*Xl. (g XII. ENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMTCS c A total capital of Rs. 143.376 lakhs has been estinated (c for environmental management of this project. Out of this, Rs.74.669 lakhs has already been provided in cost updated PR G and additional provision of Rs.68.70? lakhs has to be made" The estimated capital has been surnmarised as follows i (c
