Jaiprakash Associated Limited (JAL) proposed to set up limestone mine with a production capacity of 0.25 MTPA at Ramnagar village, Rampur Bhagelan Tehsil, Satna district, Madhya Pradesh to meet the partial requirement of Jaypee Rewa cement plant. Justification of the Project JAL has been one of the leading companies of India engaged in cement manufacturing. To build the gap between demand and supply JAL have been running three cement units at Rewa district: • Jaypee Rewa Plant (02 Units) with 3.5 Million Tonnes per annum capacity located at Jaypee Nagar, Rewa District, MP; and • Jaypee Bela Plant with 2.5 Million Tonnes per annum capacity located at Bela, Rewa District, MP. Project Description The proposed Ramnagar Limestone Mine deposit (169.728 ha) with a production capacity of 0.25 MTPA is located at Ramnagar village, Rampur Bhagelan Tehsil, Satna District, Madhya Pradesh. The present land use in mine lease area is agricultural land and waste land. No forest land exists in mine lease area. Total cost of the project is about 10 crores. 1.1 Environmental Setting The environmental setting of the proposed mining project is presented in Table- 1.0.

Out of 169.728-ha 3/4 th ie 76.6%of land comes under agricultural land use, 18.6% of area is under waste land and the remaining 4.8% land is government land. • Water Requirement 75 m3/day will be required for operation of mines which is being met fully from the rainwater accumulated in the mine sump except for potable water. • Power requirement Power requirement is to operate mining operations which includes operation of motor driven aerial ropeway and maintenance of mining machinery. Power requirement will be met from MPSEB grid. In accordance with the statutory requirements, the mine haul roads, excavation faces and other working sites is being illuminated. 2.3 Method of Mining The method of mining will be open cast working with formation of benches by fully mechanized means. The mechanised method will consist of the following operations: • Drilling and blasting using Rotary Drills; • Excavation and loading by Hydraulic Shovel; and • Haulage by high capacity rear dumpers up to crusher. 2.4 Land use Pattern œDuring Operational phase The details of land use pattern during operational stage of the lease area is given below in Table-3.0.

The forest land occupies an area of about 799-ha comprising to about 2.3% total geographical area of 10-km radius. Agricultural land in 10-km area works out to about 23.1 %. Remaining land is either area not available for cultivation or cultivable waste land. 3.2 Soil Quality Ten soil samples were colleted and analysed in and around the mine lease area to assess the present soil quality of the region. The pH of the soil indicates that the soil is neutral to slightly alkaline in nature. The nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium concentrations were observed to be in the range of ”less‘ to ”average sufficient‘ category. Based on the results, it is evident that the soils are not contaminated by any pollution sources.
