MINING PLAN 0.0INTRODUCTION 1. Sri. Dheeraj Kumar has been granted mining lease for ten years covering a period of 25.11.2011 to 24.11.2021 for a stone deposit located in HansaMouza of Khunti District. The total area for which of lease has been granted is 1.00 Acre i.e. 0.405 Ha.

2. The said lease hold covers a total of 1.00 acre land under Hansamouza in Khunti District, the Plot No. being 1919(P). The material to be mined is usually termed as stone find ready market in construction industries including road, railway, dwelling houses within as well as outside Jharkhand. In fact, the road construction projects sponsored, by both central and State Govt. have generated good demand for road metals. 3. The Govt. of Jharkhand has made it mandatory to prepare and submit “Mining Plan” highlighting mining methodologies of extracting mineral (in this case stone) as well as outline the “Environment Management Plan” before application for granting /renewal / continuation of mining lease and environment clearances can be taken up for consideration . A mining plan apart from being a document for pursuing scientific mining suggest measures to contain any likely adverse impact on environment and ecology. 4. While preparing the mining plan, due considerations have been made to ensure that the relevant provisions under MMDR Act 1957, MMR 1961 and Mines Act 1952 as well as mines rules 1955 are adhered to. The relevant provisions of rules and regulations as well as guidelines framed by the Govt. of Jharkhand for mining of minor minerals have been kept in mind while preparing the ‘Mining Plan’. 5. The ‘Mining plan’ preparation is broadly based on

 Maps and data provided by the applicant.  Discussion with the applicant (lessee).  Help of standard publication , book , maps etc. wherever thought necessary.  Prevailing technical norms.

6. Required numbers of competent and qualified persons as prescribed under mines act, regulation and rules made there under for properly carrying out techno-economically and safe mining operation have been recommended in the “Mining Plan” report.

01.05 Name of the Prospecting Agency

The prospecting of the deposit has been carried out mainly by the mine planner and the surveyor. This consisted of detouring of the area and close examination of surface exposures, stone out crops etc.

The deposit is in the form of almost flat terrain but mildly in sloping east-west direction.

Jahnabi Prasad Bhattacharya REG.NO. RQP/ RNC/134/2008/A Page 11

SRI. DHEERAJ KUMAR Area – 1.00 Acre/0.405 HA.

The contour level towards east reads 597m and 596m at the west side. A greater part of the leasehold area encompasses useable and mineable stone deposit. The area has been exposed in the course of present mining which expose the structural characteristics and continuation of stone deposit in lower horizon. Major part of the deposit within the leasehold as well as contiguous area consist of grey coloured rock with occasional blackish and whitish patches.

Both the applicant and people living in the area emphasis that stone deposit occur much below the surface level. Observations in the field where deposit is located also help to infer that the stone reserves available can sustain production for a good number of years with modest scale of exploitation.

03.GEOLOGY AND RESERVES

03.01 Regional Geology

The geology of the area where the deposit occurs is part of geological formation of Chhotanagpur Plateau. The Chottanagpur Plateau is a continental Plateau – an extensive area of land thrust above the general land mass. The plateau has been formed by the continental uplift from forces acting deep inside the earth. The Gondwana substrates attest to the plateau of ancient origin. It is part of the Deccan Plate which broke free from the southern continent during the Cretaceous period.

The rock type exposed in the region consist of a series of a meta sediment like mica schist, granite schist, granite, garnetiforms mica gneiss, feldspathic mica gneiss intruded by granite plutons, amphibolites, dolerites, pegmatite and quartz veins. Large scale magmatisation andfeldspathesation is responsible for conversion of mica schist to mica gneiss. The generalized geological succession of those rock types occurring in area is as follows:

Stratigraphic Succession

Intrusive Alluvial Quartz vein Pegmatite Dolerite/metadolerite Amphibolite Pre-cambrains Granite gneiss /Felspathised Mica schist, biotite schist Tale schist Para metamorphics Quartzite, quartz schist Cal. Silicate rock

03.02. Geology of the area

Khunti district is located in the south western part of the state. The district is part of Ranchi Plateau. Geologically the area is comprised of Archean Granite and Gneisses.

Occurrence of doleriticrock could be observed in the area i.e. in and around Hansamouza. Doleritic rock in the area is exposed both in the form of sheet rock and batholithic mass. The geological sequences are as indicated below:-

Alluvial soil detrital soil with talus ---unconformity--- dolerite.

Jahnabi Prasad Bhattacharya REG.NO. RQP/ RNC/134/2008/A Page 14

SRI. DHEERAJ KUMAR Area – 1.00 Acre/0.405 HA.

The stone deposit display greyish colour alongwith patches of blackish and whitish colours the rock type is quite hard.

03.02.01 Topography

There is not much overburden cover over the lease hold area but the top layer of the deposit about 0.2 to 0.3m thickness consists of soil which is brownish in color as well as crust of weathered rock. and has been already removed.The top most level of the deposit is around 597 m whereas the lower levelcontour is 596m. The deposit gently dips from east to west direction.

03.02.02 Geological Plan and Section

Geological Plan (Ref. drawing Plate No. – 5)

The surface contour values have been plotted on a leasehold map of in 1:1000 scale. In this drawing, existing excavated areas, other exposed surfaces, outcrops etc. have been shown so that the drawing broadly represents the geological features of the deposit.From surface exposures and cuttings it appears that the stone formation is more or less homogenous with occasional cracks and crevices.

Geological Section

It the geological plan i.e. plate no. 5, a number of section line e.g. A-A’, B-B’ and C-C’ etc. have been drawn covering the leasehold area in southto northdirection. This drawing is represented by plate no. – 5A.

These sections will be useful in finding out the lithology and related details of the stone deposit. All these sections will be the main basis for reserve calculation alongwith mineable depth and reserves.

03.03 Exploration

No bore hole data is available for proper technical evaluation of the mine. Therefore, the existing exposed quarry part forms main basis for exploration data. This has been supplemented by presence of outcrops & few cuttings etc. On the basis of the aforesaid parameters, it has been inferred that the stone deposit within the leasehold will be dependedable source for stone production.

03.04Reserves Estimation

The total of the lease hold area is 1.00 acres i.e. 0.405 Ha. Out of this, the mandatory 7.5m wide safety barrier covers about 0.1816 Ha. Therefore the area available for mining etc. will be 0.2234 Ha.

Jahnabi Prasad Bhattacharya REG.NO. RQP/ RNC/134/2008/A Page 15

SRI. DHEERAJ KUMAR Area – 1.00 Acre/0.405 HA.

For reserve estimation cross sectional method has been followed.

As described earlier, a number of sections have been drawn along the leasehold deposit from southern lease boundary to the northern boundary. The sectional area at each section has been found out on the basis of projection made along the sections in commensurate with surface topography and bench geometry. As a next exercise, the sectional areas at each section has been multiplied with the length of influence to get the reserve value at each section. The length of influence represents the half of the distance between two consecutive sections. To arrive the reserves quantity in terms of tonnage, a tonnage factor of 2.7 has been taken for conversion. The results of the entire exercise have been presented in tabular form in tables 03.01, 03.02, 03.03, 03.04 and 03.05

03.04.02.Estimation by slice plans

Development of slice plan for estimating of reserves have not been done because of

1) Stone deposit is homogenous as per in physical properties are concurred. 2) There is no norms for chemical specification 3) Bench-wise calculation are done for annual production rate estimation.

The reserve estimation have been done in two categories.

 Measured Mineral (Stone) Resources i.e. Proved.  Indicated Mineral (Stone) Resources. Indicated or probable reserves includes both probable and possible category.

03.05 Overburden

The thin mantle of about 0.2 to 0.3 m thick at places has already been removed to extract stone from the overburden covered area.

The residual thin overburden mantle varying in thickness from 0.3m to 0.4m will be scrapped away manually and used for road making etc.

03.08 Anticipated life of the Mine

The total mineable reserves has been estimated at 88876 t. with a production target of 30t/day i.e. 900 tonnes per year the anticipated life will be around 10 years.

04. MINING

04.01 General

The stone deposit enclosed in the mining lease area in under extraction in a modest scale on the strength of lease granted upto24.11.2021. The present working covers more thanhalf of the lease area from eastern boundary. The location of the existing quarry has been shown in the surface plan (Plate No. – 4). The present system of stone mining consist of developing small height benches after stripping off the thin mantle of soil. In the process of stone extraction, the most of the thin sheet of overburden cover have been removed.

04.02 Production Target

The lessee has been issued the consent to operate letter by the competent authorities at the rate of 800cft/day which works to almost 61 t (61.189t). However, in the light of mineable reserves estimated at present and conforming to mining parameters, the production level has been pegged at 30 t/day i.e. 900t/ year.

04.03 Overburden/ Waste Removal

As it is mentioned earlier in Geology Chapter that the stone deposit in mining lease area is underneath a thin layer of overburden materials of 0.2 to 0.3 m in thickness and mostly consist of alluvial soil. Due to ongoing mining activities for extracting stone, bulk of overburden materials have been already removed. However the negligible amount of overburden to be removed from the remaining unworked part will be conveniently utilized for road strengthening and ramp making etc.

04.04 Excavation Schedule

The year-wise quantities of production has been indicated in Table No. - 04.01

Table No. – 04.01

Year Run of Mine Stone (t) First 9029 Second 9077 Third 9023 Fourth 9045 Fifth 9040 04.05 Pit Geometry

It is proposed to start mining from western lease boundary of the leasehold. The proposed scheme will assimilate some portionof existing working part so that the mine development

Jahnabi Prasad Bhattacharya REG.NO. RQP/ RNC/134/2008/A Page 18

SRI. DHEERAJ KUMAR Area – 1.00 Acre/0.405 HA. becomes integrated with proposed and existing workings. The mine faces will advance from west to east direction.

Bench Geometry

Bench height will be kept at 3m as the mines will be manually operated. For facilatingdrilling by jack hammer drills, the 3m high benches will be further split up into 1.5m sub-benches.

Width of the bench should be sufficient to allow easy and safe movement of tipper trucks and tractor trailers.

It is proposed to keep bench width of 6m. The individual bench will be kept at 700, whereas the ultimate pit angle will be keptat 450.

Operational

The regime of mine operation will be as follows:

No. of working days in a year - 300

No. of working shift in a year - One (general)

Duration of Shift - 8 hours

Effective working hours in a shift - 6 hours

Mining operation will be of cyclic order i.e. drilling, blasting and loading.

Safety Barrier

The mine working boundary has been fixed after leaving a safety barrier of 7.5m vide all around the mine lease boundary.

04.06 Year wise Mining Working Schemes

The details of mine working in every year of five years plan period have been described briefly in the following paragraphs. The number of benches to be developed and worked, the face length and benchadvancement etc. have been planned in such manner that the annual production target of 9000 tonnes is achieved.

First Year of Working

The mining of stone will begin from western lease boundary with the 596m R.L. so the working front will advance towards east direction.Only one (1) bench will be opened. This level is between 596 and 593m Rl.

To achieve the targeted production of 30t/day or 9000 tonnes per year, the details of stone extraction from the above levelis indicated below:

Jahnabi Prasad Bhattacharya REG.NO. RQP/ RNC/134/2008/A Page 19

In plate no. 6 and 6A the bench position, working front advancement, sectional view etc. have been shown relating to first year of working.

Second Year of Working

In the second year of operation, the working front will advance in the same manner as is the case of the first year of mining. The stone extraction will be carried out from

i) 596 to 593m and ii) 597 to 594m

This means while the 593m bench will be expanded toward existing worked out part the hump between 597 and 594m will be leveled to ultimately make the quarry levels regular.

The scheme of mine layout has been shown in plate no. 7 and 7A. The stone quantities which will be extracted from each levelare as given under:-

Third Year of Working

At this stage the quarry scenario has changed as compared to the previous two year. Now the entire lease areas has become more or less at one level 593/594m.It has now been proposed to again start back from western boundary and open the 590m level upto required distance/area to raise 9000 tonnes of stone.

It can be seen that total number of benches under extraction will be only one (1).The direction of advance will be as before i.e. from west and east side of the leasehold.

The working position at this period has been shown in plate no. 8 and 8A.The excavation detail are:

Jahnabi Prasad Bhattacharya REG.NO. RQP/ RNC/134/2008/A Page 21

SRI. DHEERAJ KUMAR Area – 1.00 Acre/0.405 HA.

In the following paragraphs, a brief concept of mine planning based on geological, mining and environmental consideration has been projected.

The geological reserves and inter-alia the recoverable reserves taking into account proved and probable category works out to 88876 tonnes and will sustain the quarry life for ten(10) years at the proposed targeted annual production of 9000 tonnes.

There is no evidence of geological and structural disturbances to make any modification in the mining strategy suggested.

The deposit within the leasehold is almost flat and there will noproblem for mine drainage, face advancement and production management.

During the plan period, the mining of stone will be confined to areas lying above general surface level of the area.

While preparing the mine plan, guidelines issued by Director General of Mines Safety (DGMS) through Act, Regulation and Rule as well as orders made thereunder have been kept in view.

Mining will be carried out in regular benches of 3mx6m size (Height and width). At the end of fifth year the quarry depth will be 6m and the area of the leasehold under mining will be around 0.0910 Ha. At the end of Conceptual period, almost entire area of mining lease will be under quarrying.

From environmental point of view, the present scale of mining has virtually no impact on air & water quality parameters.

The measures suggested in the mine plan report will prevent environmental related problems in future course of mining also. The conceptual mine plan has been shown in Plate No. – 13. The areas likely to be effected due to mining and associated activities have been indicated in table 04.02 and 04.02(A)

The table nos. 04.02 and 04.02(A) indicated the land use pattern at the end of five years period. In table no 04.03, the leasehold area status at the end or conceptualperiod has been shown.

04.06 Drilling and Blasting

04.06.01 Drilling

It is proposed to deploy 34-38 mm dia Jack hammerdrills for carrying out drilling operations. The burden and spacing with sub-bench height of 1.5 m. will be generally maintained as 1.2 m x 1.2 m x 1.7m. With projected production of 30t/day, the total numbers of jack hammers to be deployed will be one(1). To operate the jack hammers, 1 no. of compressor, with 150cft/min capacity each will be required.

To arrive at the requirement of drilling machine the following calculation have been made:-

i) Burden x spacing x depth = 1.2mx1.2mx1.7m = 2.44m3 ii) Yield per hole = 2.44m3 x 2.7 = 6.58 say 5 t. iii) No of holes required = 30/5 = 6 say 10 iv) Total metrage to be drilled = 10x1.7 = 17m v) Shift capacity of a jackhammer = 20m vi) No. of jackhammer required = One (1)

04.06.02Blasting

For Blasting purpose, conventional ‘V’ pattern of grid will be practiced using 25 mm delay with detonating chords. This will result in good heaving of materials ensuring improved loading. Either Power Gel or slurry explosives will be used as blasting agent. Slurry explosives will be particularly useful during rainy season. Two rows of holes, each row with 10 to 12 holes will be blasted in a round. In the type of deposit under discussion, which is of

Jahnabi Prasad Bhattacharya REG.NO. RQP/ RNC/134/2008/A Page 23

SRI. DHEERAJ KUMAR Area – 1.00 Acre/0.405 HA. massive hard type the expected powder factor will be 5 to 6 t/kg. For safe blasting, fixed blasting time will be maintained preferably between 1p.m. to 2p.m. which is the lunch break period. Moreover, blasting operation will be carried out after giving proper signal and posting of sentries as per relevant provision of MMR 1961. Proper stemming will be done to avoid fly rock problems.

04.07Explosives Storage

For the supply of explosives for blasting purposethere can be two options depending upon the convenience of the applicant. Either the explosives will be supplied by a licensed vender or a portable magazine will be procured. The portable magazine should have the storage capacity for explosives and accessories for 7-10 days consumption. Assuming the yield of stone as 5t per kilogram (kg) of explosives, the daily requirement of explosives will be about6kg say 10 kg. Therefore the storage capacity of magazine if constructed should be 100 kg. This will be able to meet consumption for ten (10) days production.

04.09Loading and Transport

The blasted mass will be loaded by manual means after the boulders are manually broken into smaller sizes by the miners. For transport of mined out stone either 4t tractors or 10t capacity trucks will be used.

The transport vehicles are provided by the end user only.The loading of blasted mass is also carried out by the manpower provided by the consumers. However it is suggested to maintain three tractors by the lessee.

04.10 Drainage

At present the rain water falling over the leasehold deposit follows its own drainage path. However, during heavy shower precipitated water gets accumulated in the worked out part of quarry but gradually gets partly evaporated and partly seeps below ground through cracks etc. To prevent entry of rain water in to the workings, garland drain of at least 1.5m vide and 1m deep will be constructed encircling the leasehold boundary. For the water directly falling on working benches will be pumped away after collecting it in one or two sumps to be located in each bench at suitable site. At these sumps, the turbid mine water will be allowed to settle so that the suspended particles get precipitated. After that the water will be pumped gradually in to the surrounding area following natural hydrography. Ingress of sub-surface water into the mining area is not anticipated during five years of plan period or even after.

04.11Storage of Mineral and Waste

The small quantity of incidental overburden and waste will be used locally for road making etc. therefore, for this purpose no space has been provided. Part of quarry floors will be utilized for temporary storage of blasted materials if required.

07. USE OF MINERAL

The mined out stone is found use in different size fractions as construction materials, road metals and railway ballast.

Jahnabi Prasad Bhattacharya REG.NO. RQP/ RNC/134/2008/A Page 27

SRI. DHEERAJ KUMAR Area – 1.00 Acre/0.405 HA.

08. MINERAL PROCESSING

Visual examination of the stone samples gives broad impression regarding colour, hardness and quality of the deposit.

The stone deposit is mostly of greyish colour with blackand white patches, hard and makeable.

Mined out stone materials do not require any upgradation by mineral processing. The material is marketed in assorted sizes generally known as ballast, chips etc.

Normally to convert the RoM materials to marketable size ranges, arrangement for crushing and screening is done, through crusher of desired capacity.

In this case, the oversized boulders will be reduced to desired specification manually.Provision will be kept for size reduction in a crushing plant. The crushing facility available at present at a location more then 5km away.

The consumers will arrange their own transport for lifting the mined out manually sized materials as per their requirement.

09.ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

Environment Management Plan comprise of two aspects:

i) Environment Impact Assessment Study (EIA) ii) Environment Management Strategies to combat impact on environment and ecology.

09.02 Base Line Data

09.02.01 Existing land use Pattern

The leasehold is being worked in a nominal way. The present land use of the leasehold is as indicated as under:-

S. No. Activity Area (Ha) 1. Quarry 0.0497 2. Road 0.0030 3. Safety Barrier 0.1816 4. Balance Land 0.1707 Total 0.4050

09.02.02 Water Regime

The deposit is in the shape of almost flat land. The height of the leasehold variesbetween 597 to 596m from east to west direction. But the reduction of in elevation is gentle. Presently the water falling over the area drains away in two to three direction.

There is no water body over the leasehold. A small river known as Dorhaflow at about1km away towards east of the deposit.

The study of terrestrialecology involves identification of animals, including nomadic and migratory, reptiles and aquatic fauna. Dominant species of vegetation also needs indication.

09.02.03 Flora and Fauna

Flora:-

The area falling within the deposit and adjoining areas do not have vegetative cover of worth mentioning. Few trees of different heights can be seen in areas away from the deposit. Locally these are known on Karanj, Parsaetc.

The growth of wild shrubs is also sporadic in nature.

The important trees like Sal, Jamun, Semal do not grow around the deposit area but in the villages fruit bearing trees like Guava, Jackfruit grow in good numbers. Jahnabi Prasad Bhattacharya REG.NO. RQP/ RNC/134/2008/A Page 29

SRI. DHEERAJ KUMAR Area – 1.00 Acre/0.405 HA.

There is no evidence of rare herbs or medicinal plants occurring in the area.

Fauna:

Only domestic animals like goat, cow, buffalo, cat, dog etc. are observed / found in the area. As there is no natural forest cover, the area does not contain any wild animals. Only stray jackals are seen sometimes.

Common birds like crow, sparrows etc. are seen in the area. Reptiles of both poisonous and non-poisonous type are found in the area.

Endangered species like vulchurs are not reported in the area.

09.02.04 Climatic Conditions

The general climatic nature of the Khunti district prevails in the proposed area of mining which can be compared with climatic conditions of .

In winter temperature varies from 5 to 120 C whereas during summer temperature ranges from 300 to 400 C. Month of May is the hottest whereas in the month of December, winter attains its lowest temperatures.

The district receives an annual rainfall of around 1200 mm.

09.02.05 Human Settlements

There are few villages located at various distance from the leasehold area but more than one km. away. The name of the villages and their location are as under:

Village Distance (km.) Direction Perka 3 North Chamradih 1.5 South Gajgaon 3 East Hansa 1 West

09.02.06 Public buildings, places of worship and monuments.

There is no public building, historical monuments etc. within buffer zone of mine site.

09.03 Environment Impact Assessment

09.03.01 Relief and Land alteration

The deposit is in the form of flat (almost) land. Topographical alteration is likely to happen due to mining to some extent. The leasehold area is practically devoid of overburden cover and therefore land will not be affected due to overburden dumping.

Jahnabi Prasad Bhattacharya REG.NO. RQP/ RNC/134/2008/A Page 30

SRI. DHEERAJ KUMAR Area – 1.00 Acre/0.405 HA.

The mined out area will lose its original shape. The land use pattern after plan period have been indicated in Table 9.01

Type of Land Use During first five years period (Ha.) Mining 0.1407 Overburden / waste dumps - Service facilities (Office etc.) - Road (Infrastructure) 0.0030 Safety Barrier/Green Belt 0.1816 Balance area 0.0797 TOTAL 0.4050

09.03.02 Water regime and quality

Mining activities will not disturb the existing drainage pattern as the runoff water will be guided by garland drain and providing proper slope in mine benches.

Though no water quality analysis report on samples collected from nearby villages is available, neither the present mining nor the future mining will interfere with water regime or affect the quality.The scale of mining is limited as well as mine water will be discharged after allowing sufficient time for the suspended solids to settle down. It is the monsoon period when the water accumulation takes place. There is no possibility of disturbing ground water level us it will remain below the mine working during the plan period. Even during the entire lease period, the depth of mine working will not be so much as to interfere with the underground water level significantly.

09.03.03 Air Pollution

Mining of stone comprises of three main operation which are drilling, blasting and transport of loaded transport vehicles. These operation are likely to generate air bornrespirable dust particles to some extent but impact will remain confined within limited area and of temporary in nature. The air pollution due to fugative dust will not be significant as the scale of mining is limited with smallquantity of explosives consumption and deployment of small diameter drilling equipment, the numbers being only one (1). There will be three trucks or tractor to transport stone from the mine. The exhaust gas emissions from these vehicles will not cause air pollution. The traffic will be intermittent type and obnoxious fumes / gasses will get diluted by the normal bridge of the area.

09.03.04 Noise

Drilling operation gives rise to slightly higher decibel level but within a very limited area of drilling operation.

Jahnabi Prasad Bhattacharya REG.NO. RQP/ RNC/134/2008/A Page 31

SRI. DHEERAJ KUMAR Area – 1.00 Acre/0.405 HA.

09.03.05 Socio-Economic

Mining operation will provide direct and indirect employment for local people though in very small scale. Infrastructure like road condition may improve. The local villagers will be helped by providing tube wells or digging deep wells for meeting their drinking and other domestic water requirement. The lessee is likely to contribute part of his profit to some welfare schemes like arranging health checkup camp, distributing study materials to the children etc. under Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) obligation.

09.04 Environment Management Plan

09.04.01 Relief and Landscape alteration

The original configuration of the area where stone mining will be carried out will undergo changes gradually as the stone material will be mined out. At the end of five years plan period, existing topography of the leasehold area will be down by about 6m. There will be no other mining related activity to have impact on relief on area except maintaining road etc. As negligible quantity of overburden need to be removed and not stacked, the sight of overburden heap over the mining area will not be there. The existing land scape will not be effected as there is no vegetation over around the leasehold area. On the other hand to improve landscape, the areas on safety barrier, adjacent lands, if available can be planted with suitable plant species.

09.04.02 Impact on water table and water contamination

As already stated, the working of the mine will remain above the water table level till the plan period. After studying nearby wells, it has been found that depth of ground water level varies but remains below surface level. The reported water level in the well of nearby village is as under gives being very approximate.

Season - water level Summer - 20 – 25m Winter - 10 – 12m Rainy - 3 – 4m To prevent contamination of water, garland drain will be dug all along the lease boundary so that run-off water does not get into the mine workings. Periodic samplings of water will be carried out for analysis.

09.04.03 Dust Suppression To deal with fugitive dust particles following corrective measures will be taken.  Regular water spraying on mine road and mine benches.  Operators will be provided with face masks.  Green belt development.

Jahnabi Prasad Bhattacharya REG.NO. RQP/ RNC/134/2008/A Page 32

SRI. DHEERAJ KUMAR Area – 1.00 Acre/0.405 HA.

09.04.04 Noise Pollution To reduce noise pollution following measures will be taken  Regular maintenance of machineries.  Issuing ear plugs to the operators. Regular sampling for dust generation at selected places as well as survey for noise level will be carried out as per approved sampling plan of Jharkhand Pollution Control Board (JSPCB). This will apply for water sampling also.

09.04.05 Sampling Plan For regular monitoring of water and air quality as well as noise level survey, monitoring stations within core and buffer zone have been proposed. As a general rule, air quality and noise level survey will be carried out within 10,20,30,50,100,250 and 500m form work sites. Sampling from nearby water sources as well as mined out water will be taken.

09.04.06 Afforestation To maintain and improve the ecological status as well as create aesthetically beautiful surrounding, some of the identified areas within the proposed mining lease hold will be taken up for gradual plantation purpose. The main area available for plantation will be safety barrier and vacant space available if any. A tentative year-wise afforestation programme has been indicated in Table No. – 09.02 This is based on overall norms of 1000 trees per hectare of area.With 0.1816ha of safety barrier zone at least 180 nosof plantspieceslike need to be planted.

Highlight the areas, which might have been contaminated by mining activities and type of contaminants that might be found there. The reasons of deviation from proposals if any with corrective measures taken should also be given.

The area is under small scale mining and the applicant is going to start mining operation as per the mining plan and during the course of mining operation the applicant will adopt measures for protection of environment as per the mining plan.

The applicant will make available the status of implementation including deviation, if any from mining plan with reasons for such deviation.

10.4 Closure Plan

Described the proposals to be implemented for reclamation and rehabilitation of mined-out land including the manner in which the actual site of the pit will be restored for future use.

The proposals should be supported with relevant plans and sections depicting the method of land restoration / reclamation / rehabilitation.

During conceptual plan period, stone will be mined both in lateral and depth extension. The working will go 6 m depth. The mine closure is a continuous process. The closure operations involve technical, environment and socio-economic aspects. Apart from widening of garland drain, erecting, fencing, handing over of buildings and structures to govt. bodies, the safety barrier zone, mined out benches in upper levels will be planted with fast growing tree saplings. The afforestation programme has already been described in table no 09.01 of Environment Management Chapter.The void comprising of lower benches will be converted as water reservoir by directing the run-off water towards the exhausted pit.

10.4.2 Air Quality Management

Described the existing air quality status. The corrective measure to be taken for prevention of pollution of air should be described.

Presently there is very little mining activity in the deposit with production averaging around 20t/day

It is proposed to raise the production level upto30t/day. This will need regular drilling and blasting by application of small diameter jack hammer drills and opencast gelignite as explosives agent.The quantity of explosives at a time will not exceed 6 to10kg. During

Jahnabi Prasad Bhattacharya REG.NO. RQP/ RNC/134/2008/A Page 39

SRI. DHEERAJ KUMAR Area – 1.00 Acre/0.405 HA. drilling there will be some quantity of air born dust generation but the operations being limited in nature will be for short period and area of impact will be limited.

As a matter of fact, all operations involving drilling, blasting loading etc. are very limited nature and as such impact will be not much. To reduce air pollution on account of fugitive dust, the following measures will be resorted to:

i) Regular water spraying on mine workings and mine roads. ii) Afforestation to create green belt.

Ambient air quality will be monitored for one year in three seasons (excluding rainy season). In each season, monitoring will be carried out for one month on two days in a week with three eight hourly samples in each day as per norms laid down by Indian Bureau of Mines (IBM).

Noise Pollution

Machines like drilling and operation like blasting may generate noise level above allowable decibel level but both for limited period and area. There will be no heavy blasting.

Noise levels can be reduced by:

i) Choosing proper equipment ii) Following regular maintenance schedule iii) Development green belt.

10.4.3 Waste Management:

Described the type, quality and quantity of over burden, mineral rejects etc. available and their disposal practices. If no utilization of waste material is proposed, the manner in which the waste material will be stabilized should be described. The protective measures to be taken for prevention of siltation, erosion and dust generation from these waste materials should also be described. If toxic and hazardous elements present in the waste material, the protective measures to be taken for prevention of their dispersal in the air environment, leaching in the surface and ground water etc. should be described.

Nature of Waste

The deposit is overlain by very thin mantle of overburden cover most of which have been removed already. The little quantity left to be removed will be utilised for ramp making and strengthening of the mine road.

10.4.4 Top soil Management

The top soil cover is almost nonexistent. Therefore, the provision of top soil dump has not been made.

SRI. DHEERAJ KUMAR Area – 1.00 Acre/0.405 HA.

10.4.5 Tailing Dam Management

The steps to be taken for protection and stability of tailing dam, stabilization of tailing materials and its utilization, periodic desalting measures to prevent water pollution from tailings etc. arrangement for surplus water overflow alongwith detail design, structural stability studies, the embankment and ground water contaminant if any should be despcibed.

Not applicable for project.

10.4.6 Infrastructure

The existing infrastructural facilities available such as roads, aerial ropeways, conveyor belts, railways, power lines, buildings and structures, water treatment plant, transport, water supply sources in the area etc. and their future utilization should be evaluated on case to case basis. If retained, the measures to be taken for their physical stability and maintenance should be described. If decommissioning proposed, dismantling and disposal of building structures, support facilities and other infrastructures like electric transmission line, water line, gas pipe lines, underground tanks, transportation infrastructures like road, rail, bridges, culverts etc. electrical equipment and infrastructure like electrical cables, transformers to be described in connection with restoring land for further use.

The applicant proposes to construct a site office in a location outside the leasehold area along with rest shelter, and first-aid station etc. as required under statutory provision i.e. Mines Act, Regulations, Rules etc.

Roads developed for quarry working and material transport will be joined to main public road.

At the time of final closure, the roads, office buildings, any residential blocks will be handed over to the local Panchayat after due deliberations.

10.4.7 Disposal of Mining Machinery

The de commissioning of mining machineries and their possible post mining utilization, if any to be described.

If the mine machineries have sufficient working life, these may be used by the applicants, in his other mines, if any. Otherwise these can be auctioned / sold to interested parties.

10.4.8 Safety and Security

Explain the safety measures implemented to prevent access to surface openings, excavations etc. and arrangement proposed during the mine abandonment plan and upto the site being opened for general public should be described.

Jahnabi Prasad Bhattacharya REG.NO. RQP/ RNC/134/2008/A Page 41

SRI. DHEERAJ KUMAR Area – 1.00 Acre/0.405 HA.

The working benches will be maintained with minimum safety berm. Provisions as per MMR 1961 will be followed (Regulation 106 of MMR 1961) DGMS approved safety shoes and helmets will be provided to all workmen.

Drill operators will be provided with face mask and ear muffs.

Periodically, workmen will be medically examined for prevention of silicosis.

There is no proposal to close the mine during the plan period.

At the time of final closure of the mines, the abandoned pits will be fenced properly with display of signboard. Barbed wire fencing will be erected specifications of which shall comply with provisions suggested in DGMS circulars.

Till such time, the infrastructure i.e. offices, sheds etc. are handed over to local authority / forest authority / village panchayat, security guards will be engaged for security and safety of office, colony, stores etc.

10.4.9 Disaster Management and Risk Assessment

This should deal with action plan for high risk accidents like landslides, subsidence, flood, inundation in underground mines, fires, seismic activities, tailing dam failure etc. The capability of lease to meet such eventualities and the assistance to be required from the local authority should also be described.

The working area is very small either in length or width extension. Though blasting operation will be carried out, the manner, scale and sequence of blasting rounds are such that there is no possibility of any landslides etc.

Vibration intensity of blasting waves will be of very much localized nature. High risk factors such as seismic activity, subsidence, flood, fire, tailing dam failure are not anticipated during the proposed five years plan period or even after because of very nature of operations. As such emergency plan for quick evacuation, firefighting and similar protective measures have not been drawn up for this project.

10.4.10 Care and Maintenance During Temporary Discontinuance

For every five yearly review (as given in the mining scheme), and emergency plan for the situation of temporary discontinuance or incomplete programme due to court order or due to statutory requirements or any other unforeseen circumstances, should include a plan indicating measures of care, maintenances and monitoring of status of unplanned discontinues mining operation expected to re-open in near future. This should detail item wise status monitoring and maintenance with periodicity and objective.

If due to unforeseen reason the mine need to be shut down temporarily, them adequate arrangement will be made to protect staff, workers and assets.

Security guards will be posted to take care of infrastructure facilities in case of any temporary discontinuation of infrastructure facilities.

10.5 Economic Repercussions of closure of mine and manpower retrenchments.

Man Power retrenchment, compensation to be given, socio-economic repercussions and remedial measures consequent to closure of mines should be described, specially stating the following:

As the mine will continue to be operated beyond plan period, there will be no retrenchment of manpower.

10.5.1 Number of local residents employed in the mine, status of continuation family occupation and scope of joining the occupation back. (The mining project will provide employment to around 12persons mostly residents of nearby villages. The main occupation of their family is agriculture. In case of final closure, employees can revert back to their family occupation. The employees will receive compensatory package by the management as per statutory provision.)

10.5.2 Compensation given or to be given to the employees connected with sustenance to himself and their family members.

Not Applicable

10.5.3 Satellite occupations connected to the mining industry-number of person engaged there in. continuance of such business after mine closes.

This will be required only when the mine will be finally closed because as this stage the people of the area will be benefited directly or indirectly in the mining project.

10.5.4 Continued engagement of employees in the rehabilitated status of mining lease area and any other remnant activities.

After final closure of the mine, the lessee will rehabilatethe area to the best possible technically and site specific manner. The local populace will reap benefit from mined out area as it may serve as water reservoir after discontinuance of mining operation in the long run. This will help in agricultural activities.

10.5.5 Envisaged repercussions on the expectation of the society around due to closure of the mine.

This clause will not be applicable as the mine will continue to operate even after plan period.
