Brief Introduction of Nandurbar district :

Nandurbar District is situated in the Northern part of the state of Maharashtra. Nandurbar district belongs to Nashik Division of Maharashtra State situated between 73.31 and 74.32 East longitude and 21.03 and 22.00 North latitude.The natural boundaries of satpuda hills along with Narmada river form its boundaries.It is spread over a geographical area of 5,955 Sq. Kms. It is 1.62% of the total Geographical area of Maharashtra. District has 06 tehsils with 4 Municipal council,01 Nagar Panchayat and 595 Grampanchayats. The two major west flowing rivers Tapi and Narmada and its tributaries criss cross through the district.

Nandurbar is an administrative district in the northwest corner (Khandesh Region) of Maharashtra state in India . On 1 July 1998 Dhule was bifurcated as two separate districts now known as Dhule and Nandurbar. The district headquarters are located at Nandurbar city. The district occupies an area of 5955 km² and has a population of 16,48,295 of which 15.45% were urban. Nandurbar district is bounded to the south and south-east by Dhule district, to the west

3 and north is the state of Gujarat, to the north and north-east is the state of Madhya Pradesh. The northern boundary of the district is defined by the great Narmada river.

Before 1 July 1998 Nandurbar was part of the larger Dhule district. Nandurbar, Dhule and Jalgaon districts formed what was known as the Khandesh district. Dhule was known as the west Khandesh whereas Jalgaon was known as the east Khandesh. So, much of history applicable to Khandesh and Dhule, is applicable to Nandurbar. Nandurbar is also known as Nandanagri as the king Named Nandaraja was the ruler of this territory. The ancient name of this region was Rasika. It is bounded on the east by Berar (ancient Vidarbha), on the north by the Nemad district (ancient Anupa) and on the south by the Aurangabad (ancient Mulaka) and Bhir (ancient Asmaka) districts. Later the country came to be called as Seunadesa after king, Seunchandra of the Early Yadava dynasty, who ruled over it. Subsequently, its name was changed to Khandesh to suit the title Khan given to the Faruqi kings by Ahmad I of Gujarat.

The ancient name of this region was ‘Rasika’. Varahmihira places Rasika coupled Vidarbha and Mahisaka, later under the Yadavas,it was called as ‘Seunadesa’ after the Yadav king Seunachandra who ruled over it. With the advent of Muslims, the name was changed to Khandesh to suit the title ‘Khan’ given to the Faruki kings.The entire area of Khandesh included two districts viz. Dhule and Jalgaon.However in 1906 for administrative purpose the headquater created at Dhule. The Khandesh was divided into two districts known as West Khandesh and East Khandesh. In 1961 the name of the district changes from west Khandesh to Dhulia and later on Dhulia District.At present the Nandurbar district comprises six tehsils i.e. Akkalkuwa, Akrani, Taloda, Shahada, Navapur and Nandurbar. There are 943 villages in the district as percensus 2011. The district comprises 6 talukas. These talukas are Akkalkuwa, Akrani Mahal (also called Dhadgaon), Taloda, Shahada, Nandurbar and Navapur.

Drainage

Two major rivers Tapi & Narmada drain the district. The drainage network of Tapi includes number of tributaries like Nagan, Shivan, Gomai, Dehali etc while tributaries like Katri, Devnadi, Udai etc form the drainage network of Narmada river. Total drainage network of the district contains about 29 watersheds out of which 21 are in Tapi river basin & 08 are in Narmada basin

The catchment area of the Tapi river is principally situated in the northern and eastern district of Maharashtra and Nandurbar district. Except the northern part drained by Narmada River and its tributaries such as Kanni, Devnad / Devganga and Udai, the entire distirct is mainly drained by Tapi River and its tributaries such as Nagan, Shivan, Gomai and Dehli. The Tapi River has a total course of 86,905 sq km. in the district. Pebbly conglomerates and sand occur in the dry bed of the Tapi River either as braided channels, point bars, levees, etc. Annually, the sand is replenished in by the river the river channel and is auctioned as natural resource.

Tributary of Tapi River in Nandurbar District:

Gomai, Shivan, Rangawali, Sarpini, Nagan, Sukhi and Susri etc.are the tributaries of Tapi River Gomai River is tributary of Tapi River. It originates in Satpura Mountain range and merge in Tapi river around 2Km east of Prakasha. Gomai River itself has many small tributary rivers like Susri river (passing by Sultanpur), Tipiria river (passing by Mandane), Umri river, Sukhi river.

Climate The climate of the district is characterized by a hot summer and general dryness throughout the year except during the south-west monsoon season, i.e., June to September. The daily mean minimum temperature is 15.8°C and mean maximum temperature is 40.7°C. The average annual rainfall over the district is about 801 mm. It is the minimum in the eastern part of the district and increases westwards towards Nawapur and Akkalkuwa. The study of negative departures of the annual rainfall over normal reveals that north western and south western parts of the district experienced moderate and severe drought conditions for more than 20% of years. Hence this parts occupying almost entire Akkalkuwa taluka and parts of Akrani, Nawapur and Nandurbar talukas can be categorized as drought area. The average annual rainfall in the district varied from 645 mm (Shahada) to 1192 mm (Nawapur). Winds, in general, are light to moderate. But they are strengthened in force in summer and monsoon periods. Winds are mainly south-westerly to westerly during the south-west monsoon season. In the postmonsoon, they are light and variable in directions in the mornings and north-easterly to easterly in the afternoon. In winter and summer seasons they are generally from south-west directions to north-west.

Natural Economic Resources Deccan Traps cover a major part of the District. Trap rocks are very hard and compact and are dark grey in colour. Trap rocks being dense, hard and compact are extensively used as building stones, road metal, railway ballast and as an aggregate in cement concrete. Erosive agents and weathering together have formed good fertile soils near the river beds.

Forestry This includes all land classified as forest under any legal enactment dealing with forest or administered as forest, whether state owned or private and whether wooded or simply maintained as forest land. The total area under the forest is 104 Thousand hectares which is 20.78% of the total geographical area of the district. The forest in the district cover an area of 3465.79 sq. km., mostly in Dhadgaon, Akkalkuwa, Taloda and Navapur talukas. The maximum forest area is in Akkalkuwa taluka i.e. 42.34%.

Minerals and mining Minerals of great economic importance are not found in Nandurbar district. The major part of the district is covered by basaltic flows commonly known as Deccan Traps and dykes of Upper

Cretaceous-Lower Eocene age. Tapi Alluvial deposits are observed in Tapi River valley occupying parts of Taloda, Shahada and Nandurbar talukas. Along the north-western corner of the district, pre-trappean Bagh Beds of Middle to Upper Cretaceous age are exposed over a small area along the valley of the Devganga River. Trap rocks are hard , dense and durable and are suitable for building /construction purposes. Economically important mneral required for ndustrialization not found in the district. Hence district has basalt mining for infrastructural requirements with natural river sand up to some extend. At some places some patches of agate are found but with inferior quality.

Soil and Cropping pattern On the basis of depth, texture and colour, the soil of the district are grouped into three categories viz., light soil, medium soil and deep black soils. Along the banks of Tapi River and its tributaries soil type is black cotton soil. It is enriched by lime, iron, magnesia and alkalies. In the northern part of the district the soil varies from dark brown to yellowish brown of lighter type on the hill slopes, with clayey deep soil of the Tapi River valley to its south. Medium soils are mostly located in the southern and central zones of the district below the Tapi River valley in Nawapur. The soil varies from dark brown to dark reddish brown in colour. Owing to the peculiarity of the soil, both Kharif and Rabi crops are cultivated in this zone.

Agriculture Most of the people of this District are engaged in agricultural activities. According to Census 2011, percentage of the total workers engaged as cultivators is 24.29% and as agricultural labourers is 44.26% (percent) in the District. Together they constitute 68.55 %(percent) of the total workers of the District. District is producing Kh. Jowar, Paddy,Bajri,Maiz,Toor, Mung,Soyabean,Groundnut seed and wheat as rabbi crop as most common agricultural crops. The District is divided in three subdivisions and six tahsils.

There are five Subdivisions and six talukas listed as

6.0 Process of Deposition of Sediments in the rivers of the District :

Sand is replenishable. Due to sparse rainfall over the last few years the river flows to an average height but flows to its maximum height only during and just after monsoon season. Mining of Building Grade sand from the river bed will not have any impact on the ground water body in the area. During heavy rains the floodwaters overflow the bank and inundate the fields and dry regions. The floods have its own ways of depositing sand not only at the bank but also on the dry surface region. Added to the deposition of sand on the river basin by stratification through lateral deposition of sands on the land surface is by Differential Lateral Deposition (DLD). The later grade is coarse, medium and fine sand to mud and soil beyond. In this soil, agricultural operation goes on from the bank to the cultivated land surface. The yearly deposition of sand is by natural filling during flood season with slight variation depending upon the amount of river flow, the quantity of water flowing and the amount of sand load carried during the river flow. The deposition pattern will be monitored every year & measurements will be carried out as soon as the monsoon comes to an end.

Deposition rate for the year 2019-20 is monitored, calculated and mapped with the help of technical consultant. Data for gauging of stream is mapped and enclosed below. Data for Siltation is mapped and enclosed .. Based on siltation rate and survey every year sand ghats are proposed for scooping of sand and auctioned as per the State Government Policy empowered under rule 15 of Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act 1957 and amendments thereof.

Sediment refers to the conglomerate of materials, organic and inorganic, that can be carried away by water, wind or ice. While the term is often used to indicate soil-based, mineral matter (e.g. clay, silt and sand), decomposing organic substances and inorganic biogenic material are also considered sediment . Most mineral sediment comes from erosion and weathering, while organic sediment is typically detritus and decomposing material such as algae.

Sediment particles come in different sizes and can be inorganic or organic in origin.

These particulates are typically small, with clay defined as particles less than 0.00195 mm in diameter, and coarse sand reaching up only to 1.5 mm in diameter. However, during a flood or other high flow event, even large rocks can be classified as sediment as they are carried downstream . Sediment is a naturally occurring element in many bodies of water, though it can be influenced by anthropogenic factors .

In an aquatic environment, sediment can either be suspended (floating in the water column) or bedded (settled on the bottom of a body of water)

In other words water flow tries to scour its surface whenever it flows in the channel. Silt or gravels enen larger boulders are detached from its bed or banks. The moving water sweeps these detached particles in downstream along its flow. Silting and scouring is not very uncommon and must be avoided by proper designs. It reduces supply level of water. The channel section gets reduced by silt and reduces discharging capacity. Sediments seriously threatens various projects due to silt carried out by rivers up to point of interceptions. Sediment is also threatening denudation of forests. Sediment is a major obstruction on the flow line . It shorten longevity of channel. It causes soil erosion. Therefore data base must be needed for policy making and planning. Sediments are calculated as sediment load. There are three types of sediments

Coarse Sediments Particle size above 0.2mm Water sample passing through 100/72 mesh sieve (BSS). Residue over sieve is washed, dried and weighed It gives coarse sediments in gm/lit

Medium Sediments Particle size ranging 0.075mm-0.2mm After removal of coarse sediments residual water passed through 200mesh sieve (BSS), we get medium sements Fine Sediments Particle size less than 0.075mm Filtrate and washing residue allowed to settle for 12hrs. About 5-10 % alum solution is added to hasten coagulation of colloidal silt Using Whatman Paper no02 filter paper, residue is filtered, dried and weighed. We will get fine sediments in gm/lit Co relation between Siltation & Sediment Load

Siltation is deposition by fine particulate terrestrial clastic material, with a particle size dominated by silt or clay. It refers both to the increased concentration of suspended sediments, and to the increased accumulation (temporary or permanent) of fine sediments on bottoms where they are undesirable. Siltation is most often caused by soil erosion or sediment spill.

Sometimes siltation is called sediment pollution. The total Sediment load includes all particles moving as bedload, suspended load, and wash load

Bedload

Bedload is the portion of sediment transport that rolls, slides or bounces along the bottom of a waterway. This sediment is not truly suspended, as it sustains intermittent contact with the streambed, and the movement is neither uniform nor continuous . Bedload occurs when the force of the water flow is strong enough to overcome the weight and cohesion of the sediment While the particles are pushed along, they typically do not move as fast as the water around them, as the flow rate is not great enough to fully suspend them. Bedload transport can occur during low flows (smaller particles) or at high flows (for larger particles). Approximately 5-20% of total sediment transport is bedload . In situations where the flow rate is strong enough, some of the smaller bedload particles can be pushed up into the water column and become suspended.

Suspended Load

While there is often overlap, the suspended load and suspended sediment are not the same thing. Suspended sediment are any particles found in the water column, whether the water is flowing or not. The suspended load, on the other hand, is the amount of sediment carried downstream within the water column by the water flow. Suspended loads require moving water, as the water flow creates small upward currents (turbulence) that keep the particles above the bed . The size of the particles that can be carried as suspended load is dependent on the flow rate . Larger particles are more likely to fall through the upward currents to the bottom, unless the flow rate increases, increasing the turbulence at the streambed. In addition, suspended sediment will not necessarily remain suspended if the flow rate slows.

Wash Load

The wash load is a subset of the suspended load. This load is comprised of the finest suspended sediment (typically less than 0.00195 mm in diameter). The wash load is differentiated from the suspended load because it will not settle to the bottom of a waterway during a low or no flow period . Instead, these particles remain in permanent suspension as they are small enough to bounce off water molecules and stay afloat. However, during flow periods, the wash load and suspended load are indistinguishable.

Turbidity in lakes and slow moving rivers is typically due the wash load. When the flow rate increases (increasing the suspended load and overall sediment transport), turbidity also increases. While turbidity cannot be used to estimate sediment transport, it can approximate suspended sediment concentrations at a specific location.

River Dynamics (Physical) Manjara, tarwaja, tiru, lendi Rivers are in the matured stage of development running in wide serpentine course. The river meanders with convex & concave shape. The river in its course impinges on convex side. The concave side abounds with sand grain. The mining operation is most profitable on the concave side.

There is yearly deposition of sand as the amount of sand excavated gets redeposit in the pits by natural filing during flood season with slight variation depending upon the amount of river flow, the quantity of water flowing and the amount of sand load carried during the river flow. The deposition pattern will be monitored every year & measurements will be carried out as soon as the monsoon comes to an end and fresh excavation will be carried.

9.0 Physiography of the District :

Northern boundary of the district is defined by the great Narmada river. As a whole the district is divided into two river basins viz., Tapi and Narmada. Tapi river flow from east to west in the district. The Tapi river basin in the southern part is fertile plain. Narmada flow through Satpuda Mountain ranges a very few hilly part of the district lies in Narmada basin..

The vast fertile plain of the Tapi River is known as ‘Tapi-kath or ‘Tapi-Thadi’. The area is quite monotonous just enough to maintain a natural system of drainage. The Tapi River, one of the chief natural features, with its total course of 86,905 km. in the district flows in westerly direction. It receives many tributaries from southern as well as northern sides. These together form the most fertile central part of the district. The northern tributaries of the Tapi River are comparatively small in length due to the proximity of the high ranges of the Satpuras. ii) The Satpura region:

Towards the north the central alluvial plain rises into a difficult and rugged country. It is covered by the Satpura ranges which is thickly wooded and inhabited by the aborigines. It is about 30 km. broad and extends in the talukas viz., Dhadgaon, Akkalkuwa, Taloda and Shahada. Toranmal hill constitutes a special natural feature of the district. It is a tall hill with a height about 1,155m. and an area of 41.5 sq. km. It lies at 210 52’ north latitude and 740 34’ east longitudes. There is an ancient crater lake with 2.70km. It is 594.360 mt. in breadth. Its depth is reported to be 40 m. There is also a smaller lake a few meters away from the larger lake. The over flow from both the lakes rush in the valley known as ‘Sitakund’ or ‘Sitakhai’ by a cascade of about 152m deep and straight. Towards the west of Toranmal hill, the Satpura breaks into two ranges of hills. These ranges enclose an irregular table-land of about 50km long and 25 km broad. The tribal hamlets are scattered in this stretch of lands. Few hamlets are seen on the banks of the Narmada River which forms the inter-state boundary of the district. The whole region is very rugged and ranges in height from 300 to 600 m. above mean sea level. The Ashtamba Dongar, associated with Ashwathama and hence held sacred, is one of the highest peaks with a height of 1,325 mt.

26 iii) The region of Dykes and Residual Hills:

The ridges of the Sahyadri (Western Ghats) over the tract forming a horse – shoe - shaped starting south of Nawapur. This region includes the Southern part of Nandurbar district. It consists of residual hills and dykes of poor, dry and stony soils intervened by well watered valleys. The slopes along the ridges are precipitous. The ridges of Sahyadri (Western Ghats) reach the highest altitude of 782 mt above mean sea level. iv) Nawapur and western Nandurbar region:

The Sahyadri (Western Ghats) comes to an end in the north-east corner of this sub-region. It is full of steep hill ranges covered with forests interspersed with hamlets and village. The westerly aspect below the Sahyadrian scarps accounts for the higher rainfall of this area as compared to the rest of the district.

Drainage :

Rain water is drained by the Tapi & Narmada River and its tributariel like Gomi,rangwali, sarpani .The following are the important rivers draining across the district. The vast fertile plain of the Tapi River is known as ‘Tapi-kath or ‘Tapi-Thadi’. The area is quite monotonous just enough to maintain a natural system of drainage. The Tapi River, one of the chief natural features, with its total course of 86,905 km. in the district flows in westerly direction. It receives many tributaries from southern as well as northern sides. These together form the most fertile central part of the district. The northern tributaries of the Tapi River are comparatively small in length due to the proximity of the high ranges of the Satpuras

11.00 Geology and Mineral Wealth:

The major part of the district is covered by basaltic flows commonly known as Deccan Traps and dykes of Upper Cretaceous-Lower Eocene age. Tapi Alluvial deposits are observed in Tapi River valley occupying parts of Taloda, Shahada and Nandurbar talukas. Along the north-western corner of the district, pre-trappean Bagh Beds of Middle to Upper Cretaceous age are exposed over a small area along the valley of the Devganga River.

The Nandurbar District has three Stratigraphic sequence.  Bagh Beds: - In Khandesh Region of Maharashtra State, Bagh beds are mainly exposed along the edge of the Deccan traps and lie unconformably over the metamorphic rocks. Bagh beds occurred in isolated outcrops around Kewadi-Chapdi, Arethi-Sipanpalia, Jangthi-Jamapani and Mangeli- Wani villages in the Akkalkuwa Tahsil of the Nandurbar district. They are represented by limestone beds with NNE- SSW strike and a dip of about 50 to 100. (G.G. Deshpande 1998)

 Deccan Trap Rocks: - Geologically, most of the part of the Nandurbar district is covers Deccan trap except a few strips of alluvium both the sides of Tapi River. These trap rocks are the result of outpouring of enormous lava flows which is spread over hundreds of kilometers of Western, Central and southern India. The entire area of Nandurbar region shows flow of lava variation of ‘Aa’ type and ‘Pahoehoe’. Deccan trap shows different basaltic layers such as vesicular, amygdaloidal, fractured, jointed, porphyritic and massive. The separation of lava flows determined by inter- trappean bed such as red bole, the upper layer of lava flow vesicular basalt and lower is massive basalt.

 Alluvium: - Tapi River flowing through the Nandurbar district which is resulted, few strips of alluvium land on both sides of Tapi River. Nandurbar District area encountered thick alluvium of Quaternary age which is Boulder, Gravel, Sand, Silt and Clay. The depth of alluvium layer shows variation few meters to several 100 meters.

Conclusively, Deccan Trap includes several flows of basalt which are supposed to have extruded from fissure volcanoes. The flows are mainly of two types i.e., “Pahoehoe” and “aa” types, the former being very common. It is observed in north. The flows have been intruded by large number of doleritic dykes. The dykes are generally 1 m to 20 m in width. However, few dykes are as much as 50 m wide. The dykes are aligned in an ENE-WSW direction and a few gave N-S or WNE-ESE trends.

The district forms a part of Tapi & Narmada basin. Rain water is drained by the Tapi River and its tributaries like Rangavali, Sarpani, Gomti etc. and their sub tributaries like.

The entire district is underlain by the Basaltic lava flows of upper Cretaceous to lower Eocene age. The shallow Alluvial formation of Recent age also occur as narrow stretch along the major rivers flowing in the area

District has 24stone quarry leases (with 3 quarries under renewal)till March 2020 covering area 49.3 ha. (Source info. District Mining Office Nandurbar)

There are 33 locations of sand ghats over Tapi, Rangavali, Sarpani rivers where sand deposition are allowed from replenishment and other safety point of view in the district. (Source info. District Mining Office, Nandurbar).

District wise details of river or stream and other sand sources:

District is merged between Tapi & Narmada river basins. Northern part of district is a part of Narmada river watershed whereas Southern part of district forms a part of Tapi river watershed and its tributaries.. District river inventory is sketched below :

There are nine major rivers draining across the district viz. Tapi, Narmada, Rangavali, Sarpani, GomiSivan, Nagan, Karadi,Dara, Daheli and their streams.

Major river contributing to Nandurbar district is Tapi. The vast fertile plain of the Tapi River is known as ‘Tapi-kath or ‘Tapi-Thadi’. The area is quite monotonous just enough to maintain a natural system of drainage. The Tapi River, one of the chief natural features, with its total course of 86,905 km. in the district flows in westerly direction. It receives many tributaries from southern as well as northern sides. These together form the most fertile central part of the district. The northern tributaries of the Tapi River are comparatively small in length due to the proximity of the high ranges of the Satpuras.

Most of the sand ghats are on Tapi river and some of on Rangavali & Sarpani. Only exposed sand ghats are allowed by administration to recommend for scooping of sand every year after proper survey and satisfactory deposition keeping 2m of sand as a base.

District has few leases of stone producing mechanical sand by crushing and meeting as per IS standards for building grade sand. But demand is for river bed sand and hence scooping of sand

43 is a major activity to cater sand requirement to infrastructural development. However district authority is promoting to use mechanical sand to balance between river bed sand scooping.

District wise availability of sand and gravel or aggregate resources:

District has 33 Sand scooping sand ghats catering 328950 brass of sand. District has 24 stone quarries catering 30850 brass stone aggregates of different sizes like 6mm,20mm,40mm, 60mm and mechanical sand.

District wise details of existing mining leases of sand and aggregates : District administration every year survey the sand deposits as per rules framed by Govt. of Maharashtra policy dated 03.09.2019 and after all legal clearances auction for period of maximum one year excluding monsoon period of 10 June till 30 September. There are 54 about sand ghats identified by administration for scooping of sand.

21. Impact on the Environment (Air, Water, Noise Soil, Flora & Fauna, Land Use, agriculture, forest etc.) due to mining activity :

Air Environment : Anticipated Impacts Stone/metal mining is carried out by opencast manual method. The air borne particulate matter generated by mining and handling operations, transportation and screening of stone chips at crusher is the main air pollutant. The emissions of Sulphur dioxide (SO2), Oxides of

Nitrogen (NOX) contributed by tractor trolley. As the number of trips of tractor trolley are less, the pollutant levels are well within prescribed limits . Prediction of impacts on air environment has been carried out taking into consideration proposed production and net increase in emissions. Air pollution sources in the operating mine are classified into three categories

a. Point sources b. Area sources c. Line sources  Drilling & Blasting and crusher operations of the mine are considered as point sources  As the cumulative impacts for cluster of stone quarries are to be considered, thus the cluster of stone mines is described as area sources  Transportation of stone chips from mining pit to crusher is considered as line sources The other source of air pollution is the dust generated during the movement of tractor trolley. Water tankers with spraying arrangement will be used for regular water sprinkling on the haul roads to ensure effective dust suppression. The tractor trolley are well maintained so that exhaust smoke does not contribute abnormal values of noxious gases and un-burnt hydrocarbons.

Noise Environment : Anticipated Impacts:

The main sources of noise in the mine are classified as follows:  Transportation Vehicles/tractor trolley  Drilling & Blasting  Crushing & Screening Exposure of Noise may lead to hearing losses and may impact of mental health of Workers working in the vicinity.

Water Environment : Anticipated Impacts:

Mining activities cause adverse impacts due to mine drainage and siltation due to storm water. The impact on water environment has been considered under the following heads:

 Water consumption  Mine seepage and impact on ground water  Impact on surface water bodies  Storm water management Soil Environment : Anticipated Impacts

Most of the stone quarries are operated at the barren area where outcrops of basalt are exposed having very thin layer of soil and overburden. This soil is removed and stacked separately for plantation around peripheral area of 7.5 m.

Land Use :

These stone quarries are very small in area. After removal of stone these abandoned quarries are used as water tank for irrigation purpose by lessee.

Forest :

No quarry is permitted within district within 250m of forest boundary and within 10 km buffer area of Eco Sensitive Area.

22. Remedial measures to mitigate the impact of mining on Environment:

Remedial measures to mitigate air environment

 Dust suppression arrangements like water tankers on haulage road and at all dust generation points  Dust extractors during crushing/ screening  Grading of haul roads time to time and cleaning to remove the accumulated dusty material  Regular maintenance of the tractor trolley.  Practicing wet drilling.

 Controlled blasting using delay detonators.  Usage of sharp drill bits for drilling of holes  Avoiding of overloading of 10T tippers and covering of loaded tippers with tarpaulins during stone chip transportation  Dust mask provision to workers  Adequate barrier zone will be maintained all along the mine lease boundary and green belt will be maintained in the barrier zone  Periodical monitoring of air quality to take steps to control the pollutants

Remedial measures to mitigate noise environment: The operations of the mining equipment, plying of tractor trolley and mine machinery like drill operations are the major sources of undesirable noise in the proposed project area. The following control measures are proposed for bringing down the noise levels-  The vibration due to blasting is minimized by careful planning, supervision and execution of each blast and using milli-second(M.S) delay detonators and proper stemming to prevent blow out of holes  Green belt will be made around the working areas to screen the noise and also for arresting fugitive dust  Maintenance and tuning of machinery would be ensured to reduce undesirable noise  Earplugs and earmuffs will be provided to the workmen  Limiting the speed of haulage tractor  Rubber lining in the chutes of Crushing/ screening plant

Remedial measures to mitigate water environment:

The only pollution anticipated in the surface drainage water is the suspended solids, due to wash off. For this purpose retaining wall with garland drain is proposed. The discharge from this drain is diverted to a settling tank unused pit workings, which allows the sediments to settle. Further to arrest the silted drainage entering into the area down below, check dams and gully plugs shall be erected in the existing natural drains. These check dams also assist in the recharge of ground water system.

Deliberate attempt has been made to collect this in to a garden drain. This water will be available for uses integrated above. Percolation losses will be negligible.

23. Reclamation of Mined Out Area (best practice already implemented in the district, requirement as per rules and regulations , proposed reclamation plan)

As per Maharashtra Minor Mineral Extraction & Development Rule 2013,quarry after exhaustion of mineral and on abandonment , the pit be used as a water tank or be used for fish culture or be used for Municipal solid waste dump yard.

As per requirement of Maharashtra Minor Mineral Extraction & Development Rule 2013 every stone quarry after exhaustion of minerals will plan Final Mine Closure Plan with the approval of Directorate of Geology and Mining GoM and abandon the stone quarry as per method of approval within time frame prescribed and approved by authority.

In the district, till date no mine for stone is abandoned and Final Closure Work is under operation. Details area as

24. Risk Assessment and Disaster Management Plan :

Risk Assessment

The proposed project involves Stone mining through semi mechanized opencast mining. The anticipated risks are mentioned below:

Inundation There is no chance of inundation of mine pits from surface waters such as rivers or nalas as it is situated a long away from river. The lease hold area is located in the Latur district of Maharashtra and the area in general receives appreciable amount of rain fall, which is in the range of 900mm (annual average). Pit slope & dump slope failures Mining is restricted to an average depth of 18 m from surface levels. No permanent dumps are proposed. Blasting Controlled blasting using delay detonators is proposed

Surface Fire There are no ignitable materials in Basalt deposit. Sufficient fire extinguishers of suitable type and make will be made available at strategic locations in the mine lease area to control any fire/explosion incident. Dust from the screening & crushing operations The hazard is the inhalation of dust which is created during the screening & crushing operations which may result in the various respiratory diseases to the workers. While it is not presently possible to totally remove the hazard, properly applied control measures can substantially reduce the risk.

The dust generated during the screening & crushing operations can be controlled by providing proper enclosure to the plant area and by installing rain guns at transfer points inside the plant. Water sprinkling at the crushing and screening plant units also forms an effective measure of controlling dust generation. Provision of green belt surrounding the plant area will further suppress the spread of airborne dust to the surrounding atmosphere. The workers engaged in these operations will be provided with dusk masks. Noise Loading, screening & crushing operations give rise to harmful levels of noise. Noise generated by screening & crushing can be well controlled by providing enclosure and the green belt. The workers engaged will be provided with ear muffs.

The noise created is harmful to anyone who is within a zone around screening & crushing machines at which the noise level is above that considered to be safe for persons to work without having to use control measures. Therefore wherever necessary, the workers engaged will be provided with ear muffs.

The noise levels around screening & crushing equipment should be measured and the risk assessed. Unless control measures are in place no-one, except those necessary for the work in hand, should be allowed inside the designated noisy area.

In most cases this will be the operators. The risk is highest at older machines. Newer large machines are provided with sound insulated systems which control the noise levels to acceptable levels.

Other control measures will include training operators and providing them with ear protection, although the later should only be seen as an interim precaution until a permanent solution can be found.

The risk is very high when no control measures are provided. However if all the control measures specified as above are provided the risk will be low. Loading The main hazard associated with loading is the Mineral falling on to the loading labour/tractor, tractor toppling over due to uneven ground, failure of hydraulic systems. Good housekeeping practices, regular cleaning of the haulage roads and regular maintenance of the tractors, loading operations under supervision of competent persons, etc will be done to avoid such accidents. Heavy Vehicles Tractor used for excavation and loading and 20 tonne dumpers used for mineral and waste transport are the major heavy vehicles in the proposed mine. The main hazards arising from the use of such machines are incompetent drivers, brake failure, lack of all around visibility from the drivers position, access to the cab, vehicle movements particularly reversing, roll over, vibration, noise, dust and maintenance. Those most at risk are the driver and company employees likely to be struck by the vehicle, and drivers of smaller vehicles, which cannot be seen from the cabs of large vehicles. Visibility defects can be reduced by the use of visibility aids such rear view mirrors.

Good maintenance and regular testing are necessary to reduce the possibility of brake failure. An area shall be set out as a testing area where regular tests are carried out on the effectiveness of a vehicles braking system.

Protection guards will be provided for moving parts of the equipment and handling heavy components during maintenance work. Those most at risk will be the users of the system, vehicle operators and also company employees working in such areas may also be at risk. Explosives No magazine is within lease hold area. Contractual blasting is proposed. House keeping The provision and maintenance of a safe and healthy workplace is the most basic principle of health and safety. Dirty and untidy workplaces or walkways contribute to a very large proportion of trip and fall accidents. In the context of surface mining the provision of well defined roadways and walkways clear of obstruction and regular cleaning up of spillage will

99 greatly reduce the potential risk for this type of accidents. Lack of maintenance may lead to roadways and walkways being unsuitable for use. The Work The application of risk assessment depends upon a full understanding of all aspects of the job being undertaken. In carrying out a risk assessment in relation to a particular task the evaluation must include a review of the knowledge, experience and training of those persons carrying out the work. Personal Competence It follows that the knowledge, experience and training of personnel involved in work is critical to evaluate any risk assessment. A knowledgeable, experienced well-trained and competently supervised workforce will be at a lower risk of accidents occurring than a poorly trained and badly supervised workforce. For this purpose all the supervisory and managerial staff qualified under MMR 1957 shall only be employed. Co-ordination A competent person should be given the responsibility for overseeing and coordinating work as required under the MMMEDR 2013. It is essential that the coordinator ensures that everyone engaged in the work is capable and understands the role of others and their responsibility for each other. This is particularly important when contract workers undertake part or all of the work to be carried out. Equipments The prerequisite for the risk assessment is that equipments are suitable for the work being undertaken and have been designed, manufactured and installed to at least the minimum standards for health and safety. Failure to meet the standard will result in people being at higher risk and remedial steps have to be implemented to compensate the shortfall. Other interim arrangements should be implemented to protect any persons exposed to latent danger. Maintenance of plant and equipment to agreed specification, whether original or upgraded to the latest health and safety standards, is essential. Dangerous parts of machinery Parts of machinery such as revolving parts, in running nips and entrapment between reciprocating parts as defined in European and National standards should be protected meeting those standards. Health hazards For the purposes of this document health hazards should be interpreted as being harmful dust and noise which is emitted during surface mining operations, as well as the handling of heavy loads. While complete elimination and often suppression at source is not practicable, in many cases, the normal threshold values of health standards should be made applicable.

100

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) The PPE should be of good construction, where ever possible ISI certified, suitable for the hazard e.g. a dust respirator fitted with the correct filter to capture the particular hazardous dust and maintained to recommended standards. As personal protective equipment only affords limited protection it should only be used as a last resort and then as an interim arrangement until other steps are taken to reduce the risk of personal injury to an acceptable level. Traffic Movement The traffic movement should only take place within designated areas and over suitable roadways. Adopting one way traffic movement systems are preferred to two directional traffic systems. The risk of accidents due to traffic movement is much less with a one way traffic. Whenever mineral is mined the first step in winning the product is the preparation of the site. The four main stages in the site preparation are: 1. Planning 2. Surveying 3. Clearing of site 4. Laying out Planning The risk of injuries can be significantly reduced if sufficient regard is given to health and safety at the planning stage of a new or developing mine. Using trained drivers can largely eliminate the danger of being struck by large moving vehicles and providing the vehicles with suitable appliances, such as aids to ensure the driver has all round visibility. Designing and implementing one-way traffic systems and ensuring that open edges of roadways are suitably protected with parapet wall to prevent accidental driving off the edge can further reduce the danger. Additionally, ensuring that the vehicles are properly maintained in good working condition, particularly the braking system will go a long way to help the driver control the vehicle. Well-designed access and working platforms will also reduce the possibility of a fall. Surveying Surveying has its hazards, for example surveyors are likely to be seriously injured if they fall from heights or are thrown out of overturning vehicles. Since the hazards are created by ground formation it is unlikely that they can be removed.

Those normally at risk would be the surveying team of the surveyor and assistants. Individuals working at the edge of vertical face or on very steep undulating ground are at greater risk than those working on level ground. Driving over steep rough terrain is more dangerous than driving over gentle slopes. It is necessary to give clear positive instruction and ensure vehicles used to

101 gain access to the areas to be surveyed are well maintained and suitable for the terrain over which access is to be gained.

Clearance Clearance covers all the activities associated with preparing a site ready for laying out primary roads for working a face. The primary hazards are being struck by falling trees and debris from demolition of buildings, use of power saws, equipment used in the removal of the top layers of earth and trucks used to convey it to storage areas, and the possibility of being struck by trucks.

The hazards are created in clearing the site. While the clearing of the site cannot be avoided adopting the safest methods to carry out the work can control hazards. For example, fully trained persons should be used in tree felling operations. Well-maintained fully protected power saws should be used and the operatives should wear full personal protection e.g. safety helmets, ear defenders, face shields, gloves, full protection for legs (trousers) and boots.

Laying out There are many different ways of opening and development of mines but careful planning particularly concerning the mine layout will reduce hazards. Well maintained equipment is essential to reduce the risk of injuries.

If suitable equipment is not used, for example if poor and badly constructed scaffolding is used there is a much higher probability of persons falling from heights or the scaffolding collapsing than if good properly constructed scaffolding is used.

To reduce the risk of injuries while using large earth moving equipment and vehicles the equipment drivers and those giving signals should be well trained. The lack of training and competence in the use of such equipment is the biggest cause of such type of accidents.

25. Disaster Management Plan

The following natural/industrial hazards may occur during normal operation.  Inundation of mine pit due to flood/excessive rains;  Slope failure of pits  Accident due to explosives;  Accident due to heavy mining equipment; and

102

In order to take care of above hazard/disasters, the following control measures have been adopted.  Checking and regular maintenance of garland drains and earthen bunds to avoid any inflow of surface water in the pit  Provision of suitable pumps for pumping out water from the pit during heavy rains  Entry of unauthorized persons is prohibited  Fire fighting and first-aid provisions in the mines office complex and mining area  Provisions of all the safety appliances such as safety boot, helmets, goggles etc. are made available to the employees and regular check for their use  Training and refresher courses for all the employees working in hazardous premises  Working of mine, as per approved plans and regularly updating the mine plans  Cleaning of mine faces is regularly done  Regular maintenance and testing of all mining equipment as per manufacturer’s guidelines  Suppression of dust on the haulage roads  Increasing the awareness of safety and disaster through competitions, posters and other similar drives

The management is able to deal with the situation efficiently to reduce confusion keeping in view of the likely sources of danger in the mine.

Out Line Of Disaster Management Plan

The purpose of disaster management plan is to restore the normalcy for early resumption of mining operation due to an unexpected, sudden occurrence resulting to abnormalities in the course of mining activity leading to a serious danger to workers or any machinery or the environment.

System of communication An internal communication system for the department head and to their line of command should be maintained. Having the telephone nos and addresses of adjoining mines, rescue station, police station, Fire service station, local hospital, electricity supply agency and standing consultative committee members is another essential aspect.

Consultative committee A standing consultative committee of 3 persons headed by Mines Manager will be formed. Facilities & Accommodation

103

Accommodation and facilities for medical centre, rescue room and for various working groups will be provided.

First Aid & medical facilities The mine management is having first aid for use in emergency situation. All casualties would be registered and will be given first aid.

Stores and equipment A detailed list of equipment available its type & capacity and items reserved for emergency will be maintained.

Transport services A well-defined transport control system will be provided to deal with the situation.

Functions of public relations group A cordial relation with government officials and other social service organization and working groups shall be maintained. To liaise with representatives of the mine workers to ameliorate the situation of panic, tension, sentiments, grievances and misgivings created by any disaster. To ameliorate the injured, survivors and family members of affected persons by providing material, moral support, finance and establishing contact with relatives of victims.

Security Strict manning of security posts during the disaster will be done.

Catering & Refreshment Arrangements will be made for the victims, rescue teams and others for their Catering & Refreshment services.
