Regional Geology: The lease area forms a part of the regionally folded krol belt of the Himachal Himalaya. The krol formation in this region is underline by the Mandhali, Chandpur, Nagthat, Blaini and Infra Krol formations and overlain by the Tal formation. J. B. Auden (1934) classified the Krol formation into six units on the basis of distinct lithology, as given below:

Member Lithology

Krol 'E' Limestone, Dolomite, Sporadic, Shale

Krol 'D' Charty Limestone, Shale Sporadic Conglomerate and pockets of Gypsem

Krol 'C' Sulphurous Limestone

Krol 'B' Shale, Sporadicharty Limestone and pockets of Gypsem

Krol 'A' Calcitutite, Calcargillite Limestone and calcareous Shale, Minor Gypsem

Krol Standstone Orthoquartzite& friable standstone.

Local Geology: The area forms the main part of lesser Himalayas and in the Niglidhar range it form a part of the krol belt. The geological data was collected from the area exposed by cutting for road construction and the adjacent mine faces. The sequence of various map able litho-units is given as under: Off limestone white fine grained massive limestone: Limestone is the major rock formation observed in this area. Limestone exposed is mainly off white, sometimes even light grey in colour. It is fine grained and high grade limestone exhibits cryptocrystalline texture. Sometimes fine crystals of calcite are also noticed in the limestone. Limestone does have shale intercalations. Limestone in this area is classified mainly into two grades as, medium and high grade.

3.2.4 HYDROGEOLOGY AND DRAINAGE The River that forms the eastern district boundary with the State of Uttaranchal drains major part of . Tons, Giri, bata are its major tributaries. Only a small area in the southeast is drained by river Markanda of the Ghaggar river basin. Giri River practically bisects the district in to two parts, namely trans Giri area and cis-Giri area. Paonta valley is drained by river Bata a tributary of Yamuna The drainage map of the area is given at figure No. 3.2A. Hydro-geologically, the unconsolidated and semi-consolidated/ consolidated rock formations form aquifers in the district. Intergranular pore spaces in the sedimentary formations and secondary fissured porosity in hard rocks, topographical set up coupled with precipitation in the form of rain and snow, mainly govern occurrence and movement of ground water. Porous alluvial formation occurring in the valley area forms the most prolific aquifer system where as the sedimentary semi-consolidated formations and hard rocks form aquifer of low yield prospect. Major parts of the district are hilly & mountainous with highly dissected and undulating terrain. These areas are underlain by semi-

The selction of air monitoring stations was done before the study on the basis of climate data from Climatological Normals 1961-1990 IMD, Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government of India, for the nearest IMD Station at Dehradun (Annexure-XVII). The prominent wind direction on the basis of wind rose plotted from the said data is NW. The wind rose diagram on the basis of actual monitoring from Oct.-Dec. 2015 is plotted in Figure-3.8. The location of air monitoring stations is thus justified and serves the purpose. The selcetion also meets the guidelines as given in Environmental Impact Assessment Guidance Manual for Mining of Minerals by MoEF and Administrative Staff College of India i.e. “Stations should be ideally located in nearby settlements / villages surrounding the mine lease. Moreover, many of the mines do not have any stack (point emission source), therefore ambient air quality is expected to be affected in and around mining areas upto a limited distance depending on wind speeds / direction. This should be considered while selecting monitoring stations in all the direction of lease area. During study period maximum & minimum temp of area is observed

3.3.1.1 CLIMATOLOGY The climate of the district is sub-tropical to temperate depending upon the elevation. Four major seasons that are the winter season extends from Nov to February; summer season from March to June followed by the monsoon period extending from July to September end. Maximum precipitation in the form of rain occurs during July to September. Average annual rainfall in the district is about 982 mm with average of 60 rainy days. In the non-monsoon season precipitation as snowfall also occurs in the higher reaches above 1500 m amsl, the peaks of Chaurdhar remains covered by snow. During winter period rainfall also occurs in lower hills and valleys parts. Mean maximum and minimum temperature of 30°C and -2°C respectively. The River Giri, a tributary of the river Yamuna, is the biggest river in Sirmaur district. Flowing in the south-east direction, it bisects the district in two parts, namely, the Trans-Giri area and Cis-Giri area. Geographically, the district can be divided into three parts i.e. the Trans-Giri (Giri Par) region, Cis-Giri (Giri War) region and Plains of Kiar- da-dun or Dun Valley. The Trans-Giri region consists of mountains culminating into the Chur peak which is popularly called as Chur Chandni Ki Dhar (the hill of silver bangle). It has an altitude of 3,647 meters above the sea level. From this lofty mountain, two ranges emerge one in the north-west direction called Dhar Taproli-Jadol and the other DharNohra which runs south-east direction towards Haripur Fort at an altitude of 2,677 meters above the mean sea level. Summer months are exceedingly hot in Dun. The hilly areas have a temperate climate though the Dharthi range is hot. The Trans-Giri tract, Pajota and Sain range areas are comparatively cool even in summers. Snow falls regularly in winters in Trans-Giri areas, whereas in Sain ranges it is occasional, while in Dharthi ranges it is rarely noticed.

3.5 WATER ENVIRONMENT

Water availability and water quality are two major aspects considered for baseline status of water environment. As reported by CGWB Springs are the major ground water sources of water supply in the district. These springs are mainly gravity, contact or fracture type and springs located along major thrust/faults or structurally weak planes are high yielding. The springs, locally called Chasma, have discharges varying from seepages to 15 litres per second. Bowries, a type dug well, are another structure constructed in the hill slopes to tap the seepages. Such Bowriesare common and observed all southern part of the district. In the last more than a decade, state government have drilled shallow bore wells fitted with hand-pumps to provide domestic water. These hand pumps have depth up to average 50-60m and have low discharges up to 1 lps. In valley area of Poanta, the ground water occurs in porous unconsolidated alluvial formation (valley fills) comprising, sand, silt, gravel, cobbles/pebbles etc. Ground water occurs both under phreatic & confined conditions. Wells and tube wells are the main ground water abstraction structures. Ground water is being developed in the area by medium to deep tube wells, dug wells, dug cum bored wells. Depth to water level shows vides variation from near surface to more than 35 m bgl. Yield of shallow aquifer is moderate with well discharges up to 10 lps. CGWB has drilled/constructed 11 exploratory wells in the valley area in the depth range of 90.00 to 163.00 m bgl. Static water level of the tube wells ranges from 2 m to 43.00 m bgl and discharges ranged from 200 to 3220 lpm. In Poanta valley area, there are 12-hydrograph network stations where depth to water level is monitored four times a year and ground water quality once during pre-monsoon period. Depth to water table shows wide variation. During pre-monsoon period (May 2006) it ranged between 3.02 & 38.2 m bgl, while during the post-monsoon period (November 2006) depth to water level ranged from 3.3 to 36.86 m bgl. Deeper water levels. Are observed mainly in northwestern part and along the foothills. In major parts of the valley the depth to water level are less than 15.00 m bgl. Rainfall is the major source recharge to the groundwater body apart from the influent seepage from the rivers, irrigated fields and inflow from upland areas. The discharge

from ground water mainly takes place from wells and tube wells; effluent seepages of ground water in the form of spring and base flow in streams. Ground water resources and irrigation potential for Poanta valley area of Sirmaur district have been computed by CGWB. The stage of ground water development in Poanta valley area is 18% as on 2004 and falls under “safe category” as per CGWB. The primary survey in the study area also shows that Bowries, are there and water from springs is available and supplied for public consumption by government. Sample of ground water taken from the tap from public supply in the village and tested. No seasonal water source exists within lease area. Only one dry nalla namely Dunga nalla flow in lease area which collects rain water discharge into Tons river. However Tons river flow 2.4 km in east direction, Nera river flow 5.6 km in North direction, Giri river flow 7.6 km in South west direction.

Forests cover in Sirmour district:

Forest also plays an important role in the economy of the district. Forest occupies an area of 48344 hectares out of the total geographical area of 2,24,738 hectares. Major forest produce that comes from forests are in the form of timber, firewood, katha, resin, fodder, herbs etc. The district is having 48344 Hectare forest area. The forests of the district can be classified into seven broad types as follows:

1) Bhabar-Dun Sal Forest (3C/C2b(i)): This type occurs on the Dun and gentle Bhabar slopes which are gravelly in nature or underlain by gravels and boulders fairly close to the surface. The species which are characteristic of this type are Shorearobusta, Lagerstroemia parviflora, Mallotusphilippensisetc. This forest type is found in Sirmaur district.

2) Northern Dry Mixed Deciduous Forest (5B/C2): This type is characterized by the presence of Anogeissuslatifolia, Acacia catechu. The upper canopy is light but fairly even and continuous in the climax form. The later condition is however, rarely encountered and irregular, often broken canopy is met with.

CHAPTER-IV: IMPACT ASSESSMENT & MITIGATION MEASURES

4.1 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT Opencast mining involves extraction of limestone and dumping of waste along with other operations as carrying out extracted limestone to stockyards. All these operations can disturb environment of the area in various ways, such as removal of mass, change of landscape, flora and fauna of the area, surface drainage, and change in air, water and soil quality. While for purpose of development and economic upliftment of people, there is need for establishment of industries and mining, but these have to be sustainable and environmental friendly. Therefore, it is essential to assess the impacts of mining on different environmental parameters, before starting the mining operations, so that abatement measures could be planned in advance for eco-friendly mining in the area. The likely impacts on different environmental parameters due to this mining project taking into consideration the kind of activities involved and mitigation are discussed. 4.2 IMPACT ON AIR ENVIRONMENT & MITIGATION MEASURES There is no point source of air pollution as no boiler, DG Set or furnace is there. The sources of air pollution are dust generated due to excavation, blasting, loading and unloading of material and movement of trucks. The mine capacity is 95,800 MT/annum. A truck on average carries 10 T and thus 12 dumpers are required. The blasting is using low explosives by making drill hole with compressed air jackhammer drills shall also be done. The baseline data on air quality is presented in Chapter-3. The maximum values of PM10 and PM2.5 levels during the study period are below the 24-hour NAAQS Standard 2009 The gases SO2 and NO2 are also well below the NAAQS 2009.

PM 10 ug/m3

Anticipated Impacts: The impact of the operation on the air quality has been predicated using Fugitive Dust Model (FDM), which is a computerized air quality model specifically designed for computing concentration and deposition impacts from fugitive dust sources. The sources may be point, line or area sources. The model has not been designed to compute the impacts of buoyant point sources, thus it contains no plume rise algorithm. The model is generally based on the well-known Gaussian Plume formulation for computing concentrations, but the model has been specifically adapted to incorporate an improved gradient transfer deposition algorithm. Emissions for each source are apportioned by the user into a series of particle size classes. A 97 M/S Jai Singh Thakur & Sons Bohar Limestone Mine

Prepared by: Udaipur MinTech Pvt. Ltd.

gravitational setting velocity and a deposition velocity are calculated by FDM for each class. Dust emission rate from the mining area, based on the following empirical formula.

Pa x 23.6 Dust emission (DE) = ------Wd x Wh x 1000

DE = Dust emission in kg/hr Pa = Annual Excavation in Tonnes Wd = No. of days of operation in a year Wh = Effective working hrs in a day

About 23.6 Quantity of dust emitted in kg/for 1000 tonnes of excavation Dust emission rate=(95800 x23.6)/ 300x 8 x1000)= 0.94 kg/hr. The above mentioned emission rate is without adoption of dust control measures of each blocks. The literature suggests that dust control measures reduce the emissions and effective emission rate is one third of the computed emission i.e. 1.67/3= 0.31 kg the same is taken for modeling to compute the following:  The 24 hourly averaged incremental concentration with hourly data.  The identification of grid point having peak concentration for the incremental values  Preparation of isopleths of for various pollutants.

Mitigation Measures to Minimize Air Pollution  Main source of air pollution is dust from the movement of trucks from mining site. The road is metalled except that inside the connecting link. The same is paved using waste stones. This reduced the dust level from the movement of vehicles to a large extent.  The sprinkling of water is further undertaken as and when required on roads as well as stockpile.  The dust is also generated due to low level blasting. It is very limited to the explosion site within 100 m. It is minimized by plantation around the mine boundary.  Further while manual lifting the material and dumping into truck or by using excavator in this case being lime stone pieces, the dust generated is minimum. However, when excavator is used the drivers are trained to drop the material from minimum height.  Plantation is carried out on slopes; along the roads.  Proper maintenance of vehicles will be done to minimize the pollutants; Pollution under Control certificates will be maintained for the trucks and drivers are instructed to drive at slow speed and proper supervision is maintained.  Use of windbreaks will be done at the site as needed.  The trucks are covered while moving the material and it is ensured that loading is done so that there is no spillage of material during the movement.  Effective traffic management will be done by ensuring that there are no traffic jams on mine route by deputing manpower and by planning truck movement.  Effective mine closure plan or post mining land use  Provision of dust filters / mask to workers working at highly dust prone and affected areas.  Ambient Air Quality Monitoring will be conducted on regular basis to assess the quality of ambient air as per the proposed monitoring plan. .

4.3 IMPACT OF NOISE / VIBRATIONS & MITIGATION MEASURES

The area in general represents calm surroundings. There is no habitation around and the nearest village is about 1.0 Km away. The main source of noise pollution and vibrations are (i) movement of trucks (ii) Operation of excavator (iii) Drilling of holes for blasting and (iv) Blasting itself. Anticipated impacts: Continuous noise levels beyond the prescribed standards can, however, have impact, on fauna. These can also have an impact on workers. Mitigation measures:

 Plantation shall be carried out along mining lease boundary and sides of haul roads, etc. The greenbelt minimizes propagation of noise.  Proper maintenance of vehicles shall be done.  Mine operations shall be limited to day time i.e. 8AM to 5 PM  Power Horns shall not be allowed in trucks. Drivers shall be further instructed not to use music systems at high volumes.  The compressor used for drilling holes shall be provided with proper enclosures.  The blasting is of low impact type with a maximum impact area of 500 m.  The excavator use will be for limited hours with breaks at regular intervals. The driver is provided with ear plugs. The excavator will be regularly serviced.  By carefully designing a blast hole using experience and deciding drilling pattern or blast geometry with appropriate burden distance, spacing as holes, hole size, hole depth, and stemming height, and powder factor.  In order to reduce the effect of noise pollution, ear plugs /earmuffs shall be provided to workers.  Ambient and Source Noise level Monitoring will be conducted on regular basis to assess the quality of ambient air. 4.4 IMPACT ON WATER ENVIRONMENT & MITIGATION MEASURES There is no water consumption in the mining process as it involves only manual or mechanized uplifting. The use of water if any is for drinking of 31 persons during the working hours as nobody stays at mine site at night. The further use is for sprinkling or plantation. The total water consumption is expected to be around 6.0 KLD only. There is

102 M/S Jai Singh Thakur & Sons Bohar Limestone Mine

Prepared by: Udaipur MinTech Pvt. Ltd.

no abstraction of water at mine site and water is taken from authorized sources and consent from the village panchayat is taken. Anticipated Impacts: Impacts on Ground Water Sources: There is no abstraction of ground water in mine area. Nor there is any ground water source in mine area. Ground water pollution can take place only if dumps and stockpiles contain harmful chemical substances that get leached by precipitation of water and percolate to the ground water table. This is not the case with this mine; the mining does not intersect with the ground water table. The excavation of limestone further does not add to any harmful ingredients that could leach down to the water table. The composition of limestone is mainly CaO and MgO. Thus the mine workings shall not affect the ground water quality. Impacts on Surface Water Sources including hydrogeology: There is no abstraction of surface water. The opencast mining operation usually causes surface water pollution. The sources of pollution generally are run-off from waste dump and mining area. The mining area lies on hilly land having rocky exposure and has no soil cover, therefore storage of soil is not required. However if some soil is encountered in small patches during mining, then it will be recovered carefully and used for plantation purpose. There is proposal for waste dump. There is proposal of utilization of waste material in construction of parapet walls, retaining walls & check dams and paved roads. Mitigation Measures to Minimize Impacts on Water Environment  The ground water table shall not be encountered groundwater regime. Further as per secondary data on hydrogeology, these areas are underlain by semi-consolidated and consolidated hard rocks of Tertiary and pre-Tertiary period. FIGURE 4.5 SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM

 Garland drains will be constructed on all side of quarries and external dumps. All the garland drains will be routed through settling pits to remove suspended solids from flowing into storm water. The water collected in the pit, after settling of the suspensions, shall be used for plantation. The details are given in EMP.  Retaining walls with weep holes should be built all-round the dumps. The storm water should pass through weep holes to the garland drains as detailed out in mining plan and EMP  The plantation as detailed out in EMP shall further help reduce surface water pollution.

 A temporary toilet with septic tank shall be provided at the site for the use of workers during day time to prevent toilet in open.

4.5 IMPACT ON BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT & MITIGATION MEASURES There is no forest land within the mine lease area. There are no national parks, sanctuaries, notified biospheres, Tiger/Elephant Corridors, Birds migratory routes, etc. within 10 km radius. There is no interference with any first order streams. There is no release of any effluent. Impact on Flora and Fauna: The activities as blasting including drilling holes, operation of machinery as excavator and movement of trucks can have impact in terms of disturbance due to noise; interference in movement etc. Mitigation Measures:  Plantation shall be undertaken as detailed out in mining plan and EMP every year so that the mined area provides adequate green cover in a reasonable time.  Plantation shall be taken up in consultation with Forest department and species local to the area shall be planted as per findings during baseline environment which help maintain the regional ecological balance, soil and hydrological conditions.  Mining activities shall be restricted to day time from 8AM to 5 PM so that fauna is not disturbed at night.  Proper traffic management including ban on use of pressure horns; restriction on use of music in vehicles at high volume as well as regular maintenance of vehicles shall be insisted to minimize disturbance from vehicular movement.

104 M/S Jai Singh Thakur & Sons Bohar Limestone Mine

 The noise causing activities as operation of excavator shall be stopped at regular intervals so that the continuity is broken. The blasting shall be restricted of low impact and shall be planned in consultation to have minimum impact.  Water bodies shall be created in the area.  The dust is the only major pollutant which will be generated from different activities of mining. The effect of particulate matter on vegetation is in the form of incrustation, plugging of stomata, and loss of chlorophyll and reduction of photosynthesis process. Disturbance in plant metabolism due to deposition of dust particles on foliar surfaces leads to reduction in plant growth. The atmospheric concentrations normally do not reach a level sufficient to induce acute injury. A perusal of previous section reveals that the maximum incremental ground level concentrations for PM10 likely to be encountered in the mine operations are well within the NAAQM standards. Moreover, progressive afforestation programme activity over a period of time in the core zone will create favorable conditions for fauna in the area and hence reversible impact is anticipated after presence of favorable condition.  Regularly water sprinkling is mitigation measure for dust suppression. 4.6 IMPACT ON LAND ENVIRONMENT & MITIGATION MEASURES Anticipated Impacts:

The impact in buffer zones is related to ancillary developments. The Bohar area is into mining of limestone from last 20 years and all development has stabilized over the period. The operation of the project is not going to push any ancillary developments. The land use of the core area (mine lease area) will change due to excavation. Mitigation Measures:

 A well laid out closure plan is provided in the mining plan and approved from the

Periodical medical examination will be conducted as per Mine Rule.1958

The regular medical check-up will be carried out for the nearby villagers by project proponent doctor along with the company’s employee.

Lessee will done CSR in nearby villages details are given in Chapter-IX. 4.8 IMPACT ON OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY: Healthy and safe working conditions are among the first expectations for sustainability, i.e. the expectation that risks in mining will not deprive workers of their livelihoods or of their quality of life. Occupational injuries and ill-health have huge social and economic implications for individuals, their families and their communities. They also have an adverse impact on the economy of the society as a whole. Occupational accidents and health hazards can also affect public health and safety, and the environment. The effect on the health and safety of people, costs to the economy and impacts the environment. Efforts will be made to address occupational health and safety with broader social agenda for sustainable development. Hazards, which are associated with poor engineering design, contribute to increased safety risks. Although health risks can be avoided by implementing controls at source in the work environment, designing such controls for mining environment presents considerable challenges because dust and noise are generated by mining itself. A range of control measures that act together to reduce exposure to such risks is therefore necessary. These could include methods for minimizing dust levels by reducing dust generation and methods for dilution, suppression, capture, and containment. While significant uncertainties remain in controlling dust exposures and maintaining the effectiveness of controls, the use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) is important. Exposure to Dust Exposure to fine particulates is associated with work in most of the dust-generating stages notably from drilling and blasting, mineral handling, and transportation. The present mining activity does not involve any such processes. Methods to prevent and control exposure to dust include the following:

108 M/S Jai Singh Thakur & Sons Bohar Limestone Mine

Prepared by: Udaipur MinTech Pvt. Ltd.

 Control of dust through water spraying,  Use of PPE, as appropriate (e.g. masks and respirators) to address residual exposures.  Physical hazards Injuries during Project operation are typically related to slips and falls; contact with falling / moving objects; and lifting / over-exertion. Other injuries may occur due to contact with, or capture in, moving machinery (e.g. trucks). In case of any accident immediate & proper first –aid medical care shall be provided at the mine site. Pre-placement medical examination and periodical medical examination schedules The fresh employees when taken are thoroughly medically examined under initial medical examination and thereafter during continuation of employment; the periodic medical examination is being done as suggested by DGMS. Measures to Control Occupational Health Hazard & Safety The working in the applied lease area will be done with all safety measures under the supervision of qualified staff. The workers will be provided dust mask, safety boot, helmet and other safety equipment. A well-equipped first aid box will be maintained at site. For mitigating the aspect the following measures will be implemented:  Regular water sprinkling on haul roads.  Dust mask will be provided to the workers,  Periodical medical examinations will be carried out for the workers as per Norms,  Medical records will be keep maintained,  Medical facilities to the workers,  Any early symptom of diseases, if observed, such workers will be taken off in the dusty atmosphere and suitable employed elsewhere,  Personal Protective Equipment’s will be provided to the workers,  Vocational Training will be provided to the workers.  Safety of the employee during mining will be taken care as per Mine Regulations 1961 Details of Infrastructural Facilities for Worker
