22.. INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/BACKGROUND INFORMATION
2.1 PROJECT PROPONENT M/s BHAGWAN DAS & COMPANY 2.2 ADDRESS OF THE LESSEE Proprietorship:- Sri Bhagwan Das Vill- Sindhipara, P.O.- Pakur P.S- Pakur, Dist.- Pakur, Jharkhand 2.3 MINING LEASE AREA & LEASE BACKGROUND The mining lease area is 2.02 hectare and it is a government waste land as per revenue. The lessee has applied for mining lease for stone (Basaltic rock) over an area of 2.02 Ha in favor of M/s Bhagwan Das & Company Mine at Dhatapara earlier lease period 30.06.2010 for a period of Five years.
2.4 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF NATURE OF PROJECT: The proposed stone (Basaltic rock) mine area is located near Mouza – Dhatapara, P.O- Kotalpokhar, P.S- Kotalpokhar, District-Sahibganj (Jharkhand). The total mining lease area is 2.02 Ha. The mining will be carried out in the mine lease area by adopting semi-mechanized mining method. The proposed stone (Basaltic rock) mine shall be developed by Semi-Mechanized mining method. The OB and mineral are hard and compact. So drilling or blasting is required. There will be Drilling & Blasting use and Blasting in open cast mines is of utmost importance, not only because it has to be compatible with the shovel/loader but also preferably as will obviate the necessity of secondary blasting which is known to be very costly. The feed size for the crusher has to be low below 600mm, because it is important that variations of the hardness of the formation don’t result in waste use of explosive with unbalanced product size. It is also important that the fines generated, are kept as low as possible.
2.5 NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY AND REGION The Project is a mining lease for stone (Basaltic rock) mine that should be used for infrastructure development. The material is used for building construction and road construction. The impact due to mining on the socio- economic front will be beneficial. About 15 people will directly benefited by mining through employment. With continuation of mining, other infrastructural developments will increase the socio-economic status of the local inhabitants.

2.7 DRILLING BLASTING ( IF DONE) Drilling and blasting operations will be carried on strictly as per the provision of MMR, 1961 under the strict supervision of qualified persons. For storage and issue of explosives, the relevant provisions of Indian Explosives Rules, 1983 will be followed.
Blasting time is generally fixed at lunch interval or after the working shift-taking. All required precautions, like marking the danger zone with red flags, use of warning signals and providing blasting shelters etc will be taken.
Although the mine is far away from any population, precautions will be taken to minimize nuisance, caused by blasting. All necessary safety precautions are being taken in accordance with the explosive act. Precautions are also taken as per permission given under MMR, 1961 106(2) (b) by the Director of Mine’s Safety for deep hole drilling & Blasting and also for the usage of heavy earth moving machinery.
Vibration: In order to minimize vibration the precautions shall be taken:
1. Blast holes shall be initiated by non-electric (NONEL) down-the-hole (DTH) delay detonators. 2. Care shall be taken to ensure that effective burden is not excessive and the face shall be kept sufficiently long. The burden shall be kept at 3m & spacing shall be 3.5m. 3. Optimum charge per delay shall be kept as low as possible. 4. The depth of the hole shall be normally 6 m, which includes about 0.6 meter of sub grade drilling, i.e. about 10% of the depth of the hole. The diameter of the hole shall be kept at 100 mm. 5. Adoption of two row blasting and V pattern of firing. 6. The firing of maximum possible no. of blast holes towards free face. 7. Use of delay detonators between the holes and rows of blasting.

Noise: The following steps shall be taken to minimize pollution by noise.
1. Blasting shall be well designed & blasted periodically rather than couple of hastily unplanned blast daily. All the explosive and the NONEL detonator shall be put within the blast hole & instead of detonating fuse, NONEL trunk-line-delay-detonator shall be used for trunk line connections. 2. Blasting shall be planned to minimize boulders, so that secondary blasting shall be reduced. 3. Green belt with trees of varying height shall be developed around the quarry to absorb the blast noise & reduce noise.
Fly Rocks: While blasting, if the holes will not be properly designed and charged, the main thrust of the blast will be upwards and instead of fragmenting the rock, there will be an outward surge resulting in rock fragments flying. In order to prevent fly rocks following steps shall be taken: 1. Stemming length shall be kept equal to the burden. 2. Inter-row delay shall be selected in such a way that each row pushes its burden forward rather than in an upward direction. 3. Toe formation shall be avoided by proper design of drilling and blasting as toe hole blasting involves increased risk of fly rocks. 4. To avoid fly rock problem at the edge of hill, light charged muffle blasting shall be under taken.

66.. PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE As the project will be deploying local workers for the mining as well as the transportation of the minerals, therefore no infrastructure for their residential purposes is needed.
The mine lease area is well connected with Road and rail transport. The area is connected with village road adjacent to mine lease area and State Highway- 18 is just 73 km from the Lease Area. SH – 13 connect to Kotalpokhar to Barharwa. The nearest National Highway passing is National Highway- 34 is just 15 km from the Lease Area. The nearest railway station is Kotalpokhar Railway Station which is situated at 04 km from the mine lease area. Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport, Jessore Rd, Dum Dum, Kolkata, West Bengal 700052 is the nearest airport from mine lease area situated at a distance of 297 km from the mine lease area. The drinking water supply to the workers will be provided from existing local water supply system. • The temporary latrine/urinal with the mine rest shelter will have its own septic tank.
• No mining/industrial/solid waste requiring specific management would be generated.
• There is no requirement of electric power for mining purpose.
6.1 Afforestation: The common native plant species used to develop green belt in safety zone of all around the mine lease boundary also in the barren area during conceptual plan period will be Mango, Sagwan, Guava, Neem, Jamun, Amaltas, Pipal, Arjuna, Kadamb, Ahhatwar etc.
6.1.1 Progressive Afforestation during proposal period:

77.. REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT(R&R PLAN)
7.1 POLICY TO ADOPTED (CENTRAL STATE) IN RESPECT OF THE PROJECT AFFECTED PERSON INCLUDING HOME OUTSEES, LAND OUTSEES AND LANDLESS LABOUR The mine lease is government land and do not have habitation. Hence the mining activity does not involve any displacement of human settlement. No public buildings, places, monuments etc exist within the lease area or in the vicinity of the mine lease area. The mining operation will not disturb/ relocate any village or need resettlement. Thus no adverse impact is anticipated.
However, after 5 yrs plan period, backfilling may be started or that may be converted into water reservoir if required. Estimation of area has not been done now. This will be planned later. Under water pollution prevention plan, garland drain and retaining wall will be constructed all around the dump, and pits. Sedimentation pond, unlined settling tank will be constructed near the boundary area to provide a proper channel for water outflow. And secondary settling pond will be connected to nearest water bodies.
