Introduction

1.0 Purpose of the report Central Coalfields Limited is facing increasing demand of coal because of increased demand from industry and power sector. Continuing and augmentation of coal production from the mines of CCL will help to bridge the gap of demand and supply of coal in India, especially in power and steel sectors. In this regard, it has been proposed to enhance the capacity of Selected Dhori Group of mines from 2.25 MTPA to 11 MTPA within the revised leasehold area of 264.85 Ha. This proposal is also significant from coal conservation point of view as there is a history of fire in coal seams of Selected Dhori GoM and excavation will lead to greatly reduced chance of fire in the mine. The Mining plan and Mine closure plan of Selected Dhori Group of mines (8.25/11 MTPA) within the project area of 264.85 Ha was approved by CCL Board on 27.12.2017. The purpose of this report is to apply for grant of environmental clearance for Selected Dhori Group of Mines from Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change (MOEFCC), Govt. of India as per provisions of EIA Notification, 2006. The EIA/EMP has been prepared as per the ToR granted by MoEFCC vide letter no: F.No: 23-80/2018-IA (II) dated 29.06.2018 and observations made by EAC (T&C) in its 12th meeting held on 28.08.2018. This report also envisages the study of ecological damage caused due to excess production in previous years and suggesting suitable Remediation Plan and Natural and Community Resource Augmentation Plan (NCRAP) as prescribed in Terms of Reference enclosed as Annexure I.

Selected Dhori Colliery is a taken over mine of CCL. Project Report for Selected Dhori OCP was prepared in Aug.'79 for a rated capacity of 2.25 MTPA considering Karo Group of seams (VI to X) as base seam. This PR was approved by Govt. of India on 26.8.81 at a total capital investment of Rs. 24.38 Crores. Approved PR for Selected Dhori OCP (Aug.1981) proposed to mine Sectors I, II and III in Selected Dhori Block. Central Sector was left out of the PR due to the presence of active fire in the old UG workings. It was envisaged that while working Sector-I,II & III, the investigation regarding fire in the central sector would be continued and thereafter, the reserves of central sector will be mined to the extent possible.

Based on the approved PR, Environment Clearance (EC) for Selected Dhori OCP was issued vide letter No. J-11015/4/89-IA.II(M) from MoEF on 24.12.92. Presently Selected Dhori OCP is working in Sector-I&II (Kalyani OCP/ SDQ-1&2) & in Sector-III (SDQ-3) and is on the verge of exhaustion.

The Selected Dhori Group of mines include three units, Selected Dhori Quarry-1&2 (Kalyani OCP), Selected Dhori Quarry-3 and proposed Central Sector (New Selected Dhori OCP). Out of these units, SDQ-1&2 & SDQ-3 are existing mines which are on the verge of exhaustion.

A pre-feasibility note was prepared by CMPDI and approved by CCL Board on 26.04.2013 for Selected Dhori Group of mines incorporating SDQ-1&2, SDQ-3 and proposed Central Sector. Based on this pre-feasibility note, Form-I was prepared, for which presentation was made before EAC (T&C), MOEFCC on 4.06.2013 and 25.11.2013. Subsequently TOR was granted vide letter no J-11015/75/2013-IA.II(M) dated 25th February, 2014. The mining plan of Selected Dhori Group of mines (8.25/11 MTPA) within the project area of 264.85 Ha was approved by CCL Board on 27.12.2017. Meanwhile the project has come into violation due to production in excess of approved EC capacity. Therefore, this project was put up again before EAC( Violation) and was granted ToR vide F.

Project Description

General

Approved PR for Selected Dhori OCP (Aug.1981) proposed to mine Sectors I, II and III in Selected Dhori Block. Central Sector was left out of the scope of PR due to the presence of active fire in the old UG workings. It was envisaged that while working Sector-I,II & III, the investigation regarding fire in the central sector would be completed and thereafter, the reserves of central sector will be mined to the extent possible.

The Selected Dhori Group of mines include three units, Selected Dhori Quarry-1&2, Selected Dhori Quarry-3 and proposed Central Sector (New Selected Dhori OCP).

Out of these units, SDQ-1&2 & SDQ-3 are existing mines which are on the verge of exhaustion.

A pre-feasibility note was prepared by CMPDI and approved by CCL Board on 26.04.2013 for Selected Dhori Group of mines incorporating SDQ-1&2, SDQ-3 and proposed Central Sector. Based on this pre-feasibility note, Form-I was prepared, for which presentation was made before EAC (T&C), MOEFCC on 4.06.2013 and 25.11.2013. Subsequently TOR was granted vide letter no J-11015/75/2013-IA.II(M) dated 25th February, 2014. Meanwhile the project has come into violation due to production in excess of approved EC capacity. Therefore, this project was put up again before EAC( Violation) and was granted ToR vide F. No: 23-80/2018-IA (III) Dt: 29.06.2018 Refer Annexure-I for copy of TOR.

Type of the project

Selected Dhori Group of mines includes three units, Selected Dhori Quarry-1&2, Selected Dhori Quarry-3 and proposed Central Sector (New Selected Dhori OCP). Out of these units, SDQ-1&2 & SDQ-3 are existing mines which are on the verge of exhaustion. The sectionalized fire in central sector needs to be dealt with by extraction of coal by OC method (from coal conservation view point).

Need for the project

Central Coalfields Limited is facing increasing demand of coal because of increased demand from industry and power sector. Continuing and augmentation of coal production from the mines of CCL will help to bridge the gap of demand and supply of coal in India, especially in power and steel sectors The proposed project will bring about enhanced socio-economic benefits to local population due to expenditure on CSR activities, direct and indirect employment opportunities, improvement in infrastructure and growth of ancillary facilities. This project is also important from coal conservation point of view as excavation will lead to greatly reduced chance of fire in the mine. The land under quarry area will be reclaimed through land reclamation of internal OB dump. The need for the mine plan of Selected Dhori Group of mines arises out of the following considerations:  The report envisages improvement in mine economics.  Enhanced level of production to 11 MTY Capacity.  Increased recovery or percentage of extraction due to feasibility of opencast mining  Increased demand of coal for power generation.  Enhanced or Improved productivity of existing manpower.  The fire in central sector (Sector-III) has to be dealt with, so that the reserves blocked in this sector may be extracted.  To reduce the considerable gap between demand and supply.

Description of Environment

General

In order to have comprehensive understanding of present environmental situation in proposed project area, a detailed study of micro meteorology, ambient air quality, water, noise, soil, socio-economy, flora-fauna and land use pattern have been done. Study area, as framed in TOR by MOEF, is 10 km radius from the periphery of the project. Baseline data in respect of selected dhori GoM was generated during the period 26th September to 25thDecember 2013. However, as directed by EAC (Violation), MoEFCC, a fresh baseline data for Air, Water and Noise is being generated by CMPDI for the post monsoon season 2018. This report has been prepared by incorporating two-month baseline data generated during the period 22/10/2018 – 15/12/2018. Socio-economic and Ecology & Biodiversity study has also been revalidated by QCI accredited experts. The references of studies and data collected for baseline data generation are as given below.

Micro-meteorological Study

As a part of micro-meteorological study, micrometeorological and microclimatic parameters were recorded by installing a meteorological station on the terrace of a house at Phusro. Data for wind velocity, wind direction, ambient temperature, relative humidity, cloud cover and rainfall data were recorded at hourly intervals along with atmospheric pressure for 24 hours for the study period (26th September to 25thDecember 2013). Wind velocity and wind direction were recorded using cup anemometer and wind vane respectively. Ambient temperature was noted by wet and dry bulb thermometer. Relative humidity was measured by hygrometer. An aneroid barometer was used for measuring atmospheric pressure and a self-recording rain gauge used for rainfall data collection. Cloud cover data was collected by visual method. During the study period, hourly reading of wind velocity, wind direction, temperature, relative humidity, cloud cover and rainfall data were recorded and reported.

Rationale behind Sampling

Micro-meteorological parameters are important factors in the study of air pollution. The transport and diffusion of the pollutants in the atmosphere is governed by meteorological factors. Factors like wind velocity; wind direction and atmospheric stability are known as primary/basic meteorological parameters since the dispersion and diffusion of pollutants depend mainly on these factors. Factors like ambient temperature, humidity, rainfall, atmospheric pressure etc, are known as secondary meteorological parameters as these factors control the dispersion of the pollutants indirectly by affecting the primary factors. Thus, to assess the air pollution impact it becomes essential to collect the above-mentioned meteorological parameters in the project area.

Data presentation & analysis

Meteorological data collected at meteorological station representing the study area during the study period (26th September to 25th December 2013) reveals the following status: Wind Direction: Wind velocity readings are ranging from < 0.30 to 3.08 m/sec. Predominant wind direction is from northwest / north northwest (NW / NNW) direction.

Water Environment

The monitoring of water quality has been conducted by collecting water samples from ground water, surface water and mine water discharge / workshop discharge (if any) for the proposed project. The various purposes of the water environment monitoring are as follows:  To assess the water quality characteristics for critical parameters;  To evaluate the impacts on agricultural productivity, habitat conditions, creational resources and aesthetics in the vicinity; and  To facilitate predication of impact on water quality by project activities.

Methodology

Grab sampling method was adopted for collection of ground water sample from hand-pump, waste water and surface water samples from different sources of water bodies. Three nos. of samples for ground water, five nos. of surface water and four numbers of waste water were collected as representative samples to assess water quality of the area during study period. These samples were analyzed as per “Standard Method for the Examination of Water & Waste Water” published by American Public Health Association (APHA: 21st Edition, 2005).

Rationale behind ambient noise quality monitoring

A preliminary reconnaissance survey has been undertaken to identify the major noise generating sources in the area. Noise monitoring locations have been identified based on the activities in the inhabited and mining areas. The ambient noise quality monitoring stations were set up at 8 locations, two locations in core zone and six locations in buffer zone area during the baseline study carried out during the period Locations were selected for noise quality monitoring in study area with consent of customer. Ambient noise monitoring was done for 24 hours, twice a month during study period. Details of the selected locations are as follows:

Hydrogeological Features

In the present study, to assess the water table configuration, a network consisting 47 dug wells, covering most of the villages falling within the core and buffer zone, was established in the study area and water levels were monitored. The selected wells are mostly used for domestic purposes. The hydrogeological assessment of Selected Dhori GOMs has been done using GEC-1997. Report of the Groundwater Resource Estimation Committee regarding changes in methodology to estimate Groundwater Resource calculation was published by Ministry of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation, Govt. of India, New Delhi on May’2017. The methodology is named as GEC-2015 which will be implemented and followed by CGWB and other organizations related to groundwater assessment as needed. As discussion held with CGWB officials, at present GEC-1997 methodology is being followed and new methodology is under adaptation and required some time to be implemented. Groundwater Resource Estimation of any area requires huge data base and a time frame of at least one hydrogeological cycle (12 months) and after calculation it should be verified with field conditions. It is a continuous process and adaptation of new norms required time depending upon volume of study area. However, to adopt the GEC-2015 norms specially in coal mining areas a training has been requested at CGWB, Raipur (RGNGWTRI, CGWB training institute) so that Hydrogeologist from CMPDI can implement GEC-2015 norms as soon as possible into their respective coalfields. It is requested to the committee that hydrogeological assessment using GEC-1997 norms may please be accepted. Moreover, latest groundwater resource estimation of Taluks/Blocks/Districts provided by CGWB is still as per GEC-1997 norms.

Watershed Description

The project area lies in the catchment area of master drainage easterly flowing Damodar river and its one of the tributary Tisri nala. The southerly flowing Tisri nala is a seasonal and 4th order stream, which flows west of the project to meet Damodar river in the south at a distance of around 225m to 300m. The Tisri nala consists of 48 nos. of 1st order streams, 13 nos. of 2nd order streams and 2 no. of 3rd order streams. The leasehold area of Selected Dhori GoM is 3.15 sq.km whereas the total quarriable area is about 2.15 sq.km (Quarry-1, 2 & 3: 146.0 Ha & Central Sector: 69.23 Ha).

Groundwater stage development

Coal mining is the major industrial activity in the area. CGWB, Mid-Eastern Region, Patna has reported the stage of ground water development in Bermo development block (where Selected Dhori Quarry exist), Bokaro district as 43.93 % and identified the region with category “Safe”. The ground water development in Bokaro district was reported as 34.50 % and identified under the category of “Safe”. Stage of groundwater development for buffer zone of the project area determined is about 42.89 %, which is also under ‘safe’ category. Flora and Fauna Survey

Flora and Fauna Survey in core and buffer zone of Selected Dhori Block was conducted by VRDS CONSULTANTS, CHENNAI in December, 2013. Rapid survey of terrestrial flora and fauna of the core zone and its environs extending up to 10 km from the boundary of the core zone was carried out during the month of December 2013, under the supervision and guidance of Dr. P.S. Raja Sekhar, Professor, Dept. of Environmental Sciences, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam-530003, A.P and his team. Further, a team led by QCI accredited EB expert Sri Nirbhay Bhatnagar made a visit to project site in June 2018 to assess the status of flora and fauna. Report of the expert is appended to this baseline study.

Environmental Setting of the Study Area

An ecological study was conducted to determine the baseline status of flora and fauna in the core and buffer zone of Dhori group-Open cast Coal projects through reconnaissance surveys, field sampling and from secondary sources. Separate checklists of the important flora and fauna were prepared for the core and buffer zone of the coal project. A few agriculture crop

Final EIA & EMP of Selected Dhori Group of Mines (Capacity 11.00 MTPA) Dhori Area, Central Coalfields Limited ------lands are present in core and buffer zone where paddy and Maize were the major crop varieties. There were no commercial crops in the core and buffer zone, however except a few common varieties like Tomato, Chilly, Brinjal and Ladies finger are in cultivation in buffer zone for subsistence income generation. Fruit yielding plants such as Mango, Guava, Papaya and Jack fruit were common at village outskirts and adjacent to the farm lands. There was no endangered, threatened and endemic category fauna as per the IUCN-Red Data Book (RDB), Botanical Survey of India (BSI), Indian wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. Even the project area of core and buffer zone does not represent any breeding habitats, spawning grounds, migratory corridors for important wildlife fauna. During survey no endangered and threatened aquatic fauna have been noticed by the investigation team.

Impact Assessment: The selected Dhori group- OCP block comprises mostly of barren lands, some are cultivated and forest land in its core & buffer zone. The forest type of the Dori group- OCP mines study area may be classified as Northern dry mixed deciduous forest of Sal dominant with dry Bamboo brakes, deciduous scrub and miscellaneous forest. At buffer zone areas contains protected forest and open mixed jungle of Sal dominat (Shorea robusta) replaced by Tendu (Diospyros melanoxylon), Galgal (Cochlospermum relegiosum), Piar (Buchanania lanzan), Amla (Emblica officinalis) etc. the shrubs consists of Dhauta (Woodfordia fruticosa), Harsingar amla (Phyllanthus emblica), climbers (Butea frontosa). Miscellaneous Forest is situated in drier localities like hill slopes and hill tops where Salai (Boswellia serrata) is the main species with varying density. As enumerated in the status of flora & fauna, the core zone of the project comprises mostly barren and degraded lands. Further it is noticed no prominent vegetation patches and wildlife habitats were found in the core zone areas of the mining project. ======Prepared by CMPDI, RI-III, Ranchi

Final EIA & EMP of Selected Dhori Group of Mines (Capacity 11.00 MTPA) Dhori Area, Central Coalfields Limited ------Therefore, marginal or no impact on terrestrial flora and no irreparable loss to the wildlife habitats and associated fauna due to the mining activity is observed in core zone. The plantation program and technical & biological restoration of core area is recommended after exhaustion of coal resources from project sites. The following possible impacts on ecology & biodiversity have been attributed from the mining activity in the buffer zone of the project:

 The mining and its related activities will alter the topography of landscape and thereby restoration of existing ecology & biodiversity will take time and require intensify efforts for restoration of landscape.  The erosion of soil and degradation of soil quality due to mining and allied operations are Assessed in buffer zone. Therefore, plantation and afforestation plan should be adopted for increasing the binding capacity of soil and also foliage & leafy litters will enhance soil nutrients.  Leaching effect and discharge of untreated mine water may also impact negatively vegetation in the buffer zone of the project. It is therefore suggested that mine water treatment plant and proper checks for leaching may be adopted by project proponents.  Air Pollution due to fugitive emissions by transporting vehicle have a direct generic effects on the leaves, stems, flowers and fruits of terrestrial and aquatic flora. Three tier plantation program including grasses, shrubs and tree species plantation for absorbing dust pollution is suggested as one of the effective mitigation measures  The list of flora & fauna in the baseline scenario needs to be retained and plantation program with the same kind of species mix must be followed to restore the baseline ecosystem after post mining. The natural resource augmentation plan is suggested in the non-coal bearing areas in and around the buffer zone of the project.  The faunal population especially the reptiles, avifauna, insects and small wilder animals presently using forest patches of buffer zone of the project area will be impacted due to mining activity and the nearby forest areas of Nawadi forest circle will act as a buffer to such species. However, restoration activity and progressive mine closure activities it is expected that the growth in faunal population and reverse migration to restored areas is possible. This requires intensive technical & biological reclamation activity post mine closure as well as progressive mine closure. This above mentioned study was carried out during the period Post monsoon 2013. To validate this data, a team was constituted with QCI accredited EB expert to make a field visit and study the present scenario. Following are the finding of the team The ecological site visits in core & buffer zone of the project was carried out to check the baseline status of flora & fauna and to assess the baseline status of project. As this project is an expansion project from Capacity 2.25 MTY to 11 MTY, and coal mining activity has been prevalent in this region prior to nationalization period, the flora & fauna especially in the core zone of the project is almost degraded. In buffer zone, the forest occurs in small sporadic patches consist of open mixed deciduous vegetation of Shorea robusta dominant tree species. The remaining area is either barren or used as farm land for cultivation by the villagers growing both traditional and commercial crop varieties. As stated in earlier baseline study 2013, at ======Prepared by CMPDI, RI-III, Ranchi

Final EIA & EMP of Selected Dhori Group of Mines (Capacity 11.00 MTPA) Dhori Area, Central Coalfields Limited ------present also it was found that there was no endangered, threatened and endemic category fauna as per the IUCN-Red Data Book (RDB), Botanical Survey of India (BSI), Indian wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. During survey no endangered and threatened aquatic fauna have been noticed by the investigation team. The baseline survey carried out by third party during 2013 is found to be applicable in present time also, as most of the tree species, herbs, shrubs, grasses etc. are available at core & buffer zone are found to be almost same with few additional species observed.

 Most of the houses are Kuccha. The houses are made of Bricks or earthen walls with cement or earthen flooring. The roofs are tiled, sheets and of terrace roof.  Most of the houses are without toilet facilities of their own and they use the open land in the village for the purpose. There are no public toilets.  Tap, hand pumps and wells are the sources of water. The quality of water is reasonably well. The villages are connected with Electric lines. The quality of roads is very bad.  The difficulty arises in summer when the hand pumps do not yield even half of the normal water supply.  The villages are connected with Electric lines but power is intermittently supplied as in all rural areas of the state particularly in summer season.  The fuel for cooking purpose is L.P.G, kerosene/ coal or firewood.  Most of the villages are connected with fair weather (tar / mud) roads with state transport facilities. Motor cycles, Cycles are used for traveling purposes. Bullock carts / Tractors are used for carrying materials. Finding of the QCI accredited socio- economic expert are following.  Most of the socio-economic indicators mentioned in previous study are still hold good because leasehold boundary has not been changed and production is being done from existing quarry.  Villages mentioned in EAC observation viz.Turio, Makoli, Tarmi & Gunjardih are without any population within core zone. Therefore, no socio-economic aspect needs to be observed within core zone.  There are 37 villages in buffer zone. Socio-economic condition of those villages are improving gradually. Data mentioned in previous baseline data is still valid as data is based on 2011 census.  Most of the villagers in adjacent villages in buffer zone are involved in mining related support activities. Many household have got employment against their land particularly in adjacent villages. Therefore, they are in relatively better socio-economic situation.

Following are suggestion to improve socio-economic condition of the residents of buffer zone to mitigate mining related loss.  More resources should be dedicated to job oriented skill development activities so that people get involved in sustainable income activities. Skill courses should be according to local needs as well so that youth can have local employment.  Another area of emphasis is education. CCL is doing commendable job of providing coaching facility for IIT/NITs entrance exam to local school going children through its CCL ke Laal, Ladli scheme. Similar efforts can be done in reducing school drop-out rates.  CCL is also involved in renovation of ponds. More ponds needs to be taken up for renovation as rural livelihood are designed around such sources of water. It helps in irrigation, fishery, drinking water for domestic animals etc.  It can work in phased manner, taking up developmental activities in one panchayat at a time then next panchayat in next year, if the fund and planning permits.  It also needs to do some pilot projects in public health like mobile health van to remote villages, hygiene and care of adolescent girls.  It should plan to promote community afforestation, where a village panchayat is encouraged to do afforestation in barren land and self-manage that forest.  Solar lighting should also be encouraged. CCL should take up the task to provide street solar lights to villages of buffer zone. Community should be actively involved in this effort. Partial funding or maintenance cost should be raised from the community, so that there is some sense of ownership.

Anticipated Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures Introduction

The impacts (both beneficial and adverse) of mining and its allied activities have been assessed and presented in respect of air, water, noise, blasting vibration, socio-economic profile, flora & fauna, land resource, traffic movement and visual/aesthetic aspect in this chapter. The control measures to mitigate various environmental impacts are also highlighted in this chapter for carrying out mining operation in an environmentally compatible manner. Further, all provisions of Coal Mines Regulations and Directives shall be followed in this project. Impact Assessment & Pollution Control Measures for Air

The impact assessment (both short-term and long-term) has been carried out dealing with the following points: i. Inventory of air pollution emission sources ii. Impact assessment (short-term and long-term besides direct/indirect and residual) Appropriate air pollution control measures are being taken to contain the air pollution for maintaining the ambient air quality within the stipulated standards besides making the mining operation eco-friendly in this project. All provisions of Coal Mines Regulations and Directives are followed.

Air Quality Impact Assessment

To assess the impact, the project life is divided into following time frames:  Operation phase (long term).  Post-operational phase (short term). The activities associated with these time frames and having impact on the ambient air quality along with the pollutants are enumerated in the following sections: Operational phase: During this phase activities for mining of coal, its handling and transport are taken up. Such activities are detailed below:

(i) Drilling & Blasting Dust and noxious gases (ii) Handling, loading & unloading of coal Dust and noxious gases (iii) Movement of vehicles Dust and noxious fumes ======Prepared by CMPDI, RI-III, Ranchi

Final EIA & EMP of Selected Dhori Group of Mines (Capacity 11.00 MTPA) Dhori Area, Central Coalfields Limited ------(iv) Crushing of coal Dust and noxious gases

Post-operational phase:  During this stage of the project, the activities related to the closure of mine are to be carried out. Preparation of final mine closure plan shall be carried out five years before the closure of the mine. Some of the activities for the closure are:  Physical and biological reclamation of degraded land, mine voids, OB dumps.  Salvaging and shifting operation of redundant equipment.  Clearing of coal and other materials, restoration of original land-use of industrial area & colony area to the extent possible and decommissioning of redundant infrastructure if not useful for other projects.  Management of hydrology and hydrogeology.  Redeployment of workforce, etc.  Arrangement & implementation of post-operation monitoring mainly keeping watch, vigil, etc.

The activities having impact on the ambient air quality during this phase are enumerated below:

(i) Movement of HEMMs for physical reclamation Dust and obnoxious fumes of degraded land. (ii) Movement of vehicles for shifting and salvaging Dust and obnoxious fumes operation of equipment. (iii) Movement of vehicles for clearing of coal and Dust and obnoxious gases other materials. The mining and its related activities create ambient air pollution. The impact of mining on ambient air quality is highlighted in the following paragraphs:

Air Quality Impact Prediction Estimation for increase in RPM at the eight Ambient Air Quality Stations, chosen for the purpose of baseline AAQ data generation, has been done with the help of the FDM 90121 model. The contribution from proposed mining activity (to achieve the peak production level of 11.00 MTPA) has been assessed for the two scenarios of operation i.e. with control measures and without control measures (business as usual). The model was run to predict the incremental PM10 concentrations for the two scenarios over and above the baseline concentrations found at the six AAQ stations. Identification of sources of PM and Gaseous pollutants The main sources of air pollution with regard to Selected Dhori Group of Mines for the purpose of estimation of increase in RPM, SO2 and NOX were identified as- 1) Drilling in Coal benches. 2) Drilling in OB benches. ======Prepared by CMPDI, RI-III, Ranchi

Final EIA & EMP of Selected Dhori Group of Mines (Capacity 11.00 MTPA) Dhori Area, Central Coalfields Limited ------3) Blasting in Coal benches. 4) Blasting in OB benches. 5) Truck loading of coal & OB. 6) Coal transportation to nearby railway siding. 7) Truck unloading of coal & OB. 8) OB transportation. 9) Wind erosion at ground coal stock & active OB dump.

Receptors The Ambient Air Quality Stations (2 in Core Zone and 6 in the Buffer Zone), chosen for the purpose of baseline data generation by CMPDI have been treated as receptors for estimation of increase in PM and gaseous pollutants. Meteorological Input Micrometeorological and microclimatic parameters were recorded by VRDS Consultants, Chennai by installing one meteorology station at terrace of a house at Phusro. During the study period from Sept 26, 2013 to Dec 25, 2013, hourly reading of wind velocity, wind direction, temperature, relative humidity, cloud cover and rainfall data were recorded. The model was run on 24 hours input meteorological file based on the readings taken on 19/ 20.10.2013 which represents typical meteorological condition found during the study period. Emission Factors A S&T study titled, “Development of emission factors for various mining machineries & operations in opencast coal mines (EE-27)” was carried out by CMPDI (HQ) during 2002 to 2008. During this study, emission factors for Suspended Particulate Matter (PM ≤ 100 μm) were developed for Drilling, Loading of coal and OB by Shovel, Unloading of OB, Transportation on haul roads and Coal sizing. The emission factors data for PM -10 and PM - 2.5 have been estimated on the basis of particle size distribution study. SPM, RPM & PM-2.5 Emission Factors & control factors for Various Mining Operations have been given below:

Estimation of dust (TSP) generation at Selected Dhori Group of Mines

Coal production & OB generation from Selected Dhori Group of during period of baseline generation as per EC was 2.25 MT & 1.784 Mcum respectively. The coal production will reach 11 MTPA at the proposed nominal & peak capacity respectively. So the AQIP has been done on the basis of peak incremental coal production of 11.00 – 2.25 = 8.75 MTPA and maximum incremental OB generation of 2.97 – 1.7847 = 1.1853 Mm3. (Assuming 330 days operation, the daily incremental coal production comes to 26515.15 TPD and OB generation comes to 3591.81 m3. (sp gr of coal = 1.60, volume of coal = 16571 m3/day)

The OB will be dumped internally and coal will be transported to pit top CHP and then to railway siding. The incremental rise in activities like coal production & OB generation, coal crushing, loading, transportation, unloading and storage will cause adverse impact on the AAQ status. The future anticipated impact on AAQ due to dust emission from various activities related to the proposed incremental coal production has been calculated as per the following table for the future scenario-

Air Quality Model

A model namely, FDM Version 90121 has been used to predict the impact on the ambient air quality of the core and buffer zone of the study area due to mining operations in Selected Dhori Group of Mines with 11.0 MTPA peak capacity. The dust emission levels from mining operations are based on USEPA publications and an S&T study titled, “Development of emission factors for various mining machineries & operations in opencast coal mines (EE-27)”, which was carried out by CMPDI(HQ) during 2002 to 2008. ======Prepared by CMPDI, RI-III, Ranchi

Observation Conclusion

On the basis of the above prediction, it is found that there will be significant increase in PM10 level on A, A6, A7 and A8 in buffer zone. However, the predicted level of increase in PM10 is likely to remain well below the limits prescribed by NAAQS in residential locations and coal mining standards in core/mining zone. The Isopleth of PM10 without control measures (Business As Usual) and with control measures is shown in enclosed Plate- X & XI respectively. The model was run for the worst case scenario of peak coal production level of 11 MTPA. The likelihood of peak coal production being reached is quite less. In view of this, the actual future AAQ is likely to be better than the predicted level.

Air Pollution Control Measures

Appropriate mitigative measures shall be taken to contain the predicted level within prescribed level. These measures (both preventive and suppressive) are enumerated below:  Loading and transport

The following measures will be taken: . Surfacing of all service roads/permanent roads by asphalt. . The unmetalled roads shall be kept free of ruts, potholes, etc. . Frequent and at regular intervals, water will be sprayed on coal transportation roads, service roads. . Physical removal of dust from the roads. . Greenbelts around industrial sites, service building area besides avenue plantation along roads. ======Prepared by CMPDI, RI-III, Ranchi

(v) Workshop Effluent Suspended solids and Oil & Grease.

Treatment Technology

1. Workshop discharge → O&G Trap →Settling tank →Reuse 2. Domestic effluent→ Septic Tank.

Note:- Residential colonies are quite old where domestic effluents are treated through septic tank and results are satisfactory till date. Currently, provision of STP is not feasible considering cost-effectiveness. During further project enhancement, there will be compulsorily provision for STP.

Water Pollution Control Measures

Effective water pollution control measures are being taken keeping the following aspects in view:  Sufficient safeguards during the mine operation to make the project eco-friendly from water pollution control point of view.  Recycling of wastewater after appropriate treatment to the extent possible.  Conforming to the limits of the Environment (Protection) Amendment Rules, 2000 ("Schedule-VI", General Standards for discharge of environmental pollutants, Part-A: Effluents) for the quality of the treated effluents. The mitigation measures to be adopted in this project are given below in the following paragraphs:

(i) Wastewater from mine Mine discharge water is being collected in a sump where it will be pumped out after sedimentation to arrest suspended solids. Then clear water will be used for mine & CHP needs. The sludge collected from the pond(s) from time to time is utilized as landfill in the de-coaled area. Workshop effluent is treated in Effluent treatment plant (ETP) consisting of oil and grease trap and settling ponds. Then clear water is reused for workshop requirement.

(ii) Surface run-off from coal dumps Garland drain are provided around the coal dumps to collect run-off for diverting into sedimentation ponds before discharge into natural water courses.

======Prepared by CMPDI, RI-III, Ranchi

Final EIA & EMP of Selected Dhori Group of Mines (Capacity 11.00 MTPA) Dhori Area, Central Coalfields Limited ------(iii) Storm water To prevent inrush of precipitation run-off from the outside area towards the mine, storm water drains of suitable dimensions have been provided at appropriate locations with outlets to natural water courses. Both storm water drains and settling tanks/ponds are cleaned periodically to avoid choking of drains & malfunctioning of tanks/ponds. (iv) Domestic waste water The domestic waste water is being treated through septic tank. Impact Assessment on groundwater resources and Mitigation Measures

Mine requires water for domestic & industrial (i.e. Land reclamation, workshop, dust suppression, greenbelt development and fire fighting) uses. The peak industrial water demand for Selected Dhori Quarry was projected as 1,971 cum/day. The domestic water demand (colony + industrial buildings) was projected as 870 cum/day. Thus, the total water requirement is 2,841 m3/day. The details of peak water demand of the project are as below:

Net Annual Groundwater Recharge Balance

Mine water inflow and disposal for Selected Dhori Group of Mines:

The projected mine inflow calculation for the existing stage is 1,305 m3/day which is very close to the actual mine inflow 1,364 m3/day observed in the field.

Impact on Topography and Drainage

Mining of coal by open cast method causes changes in topography. The change of ground relief in a mine area influences the local drainage. This may alter the drainage at the micro level. Care is taken during mining activity to avoid any serious damage to surface water bodies. The important Nala controlling the drainage of the study area is Damodar river and its one of the major tributary Tisri nala. The southern surface boundary has been fixed along Damadar river at a safe distance of more than 600 m, flowing from west to east. The surface boundary of the quarry along the west has been fixed leaving a surface barrier ranging from 100m to 250m from seasonal Tisrinala. A few 1st order streams of the Damodar river and Tisrinala originate within the mine area. Hence with progress in the mining activity, the catchment area in the upstream region of these nalas will be disturbed but more water will be collected in the mine sump arising as a result of this disturbance. This water will be pumped out into the downstream of the respective nalas itself i.e. outside the mining property where the original course of these nalas will be ======Prepared by CMPDI, RI-III, Ranchi

Final EIA & EMP of Selected Dhori Group of Mines (Capacity 11.00 MTPA) Dhori Area, Central Coalfields Limited ------maintained. The HFL of the Damodar river as recorded in the vicinity of the project is 206.31 m above MSL (As on 17.09.1976). The HFL of the Tisrinala as recorded in the vicinity of the project is 206.28 m above MSL (As on 17.09.1976), leaving a safe distance of 100m to 250m m from the quarry edge. Pre-mining elevation of topography varies from 213.0 m and 326.0 m above MSL. So, there is no problem of surface water inrush into the mine. Rainwater, which falls on the mining area and groundwater which seeps into the mine are also pumped out in the drainage system after treatment. Hence, there is no impact on drainage quantitatively. The void is proposed to be filled to the extent possible by physical reclamation of last stage dump. The final void left at the end of mine life is 38.53 Ha at a depth of 30-40m which is proposed to be converted in to a water body. The void thus left shall be used as water reservoir. Creation of water body, which is termed as hydro-reclamation is very useful final land use plan and hence conceived in this mine. The final closure plan will involve provision of effective fencing and graded approach to reduce the depth of water body for safeguard to neighbouring community. Radius of Influence Considering the dewatering of unconfined aquifer in the immediate mine area and permeability 0.50 m/d, by using the Sichardt formula  R =C*(H – hw)*k, the radius of influence for the proposed Selected Dhori Quarry has been estimated

Radius of Influence (m) Final Mine Probable Sl.No Project Depth (m) drawdown (m) K= 0.50 m/d (unconfined aquifer for Selected Dhori Quarry)

Selected 1 100 30 216.47 (say 220) Dhori Quarry

The projected radius of influence due to Selected Dhori Quarry on groundwater has been estimated at about 220 m from the mine periphery and there is no village in this impact zone. Due to stratification, the permeable beds act as individual hydrogeological units and develop a multi-aquifer system. Hence, the radius of influence in these individual hydrogeological units will be small. Thus, with the variation of the aquifer/mine geometry, multi-aquifer system, return flow from the mine discharge and abundant recharge, the zone of disturbance will be reduced further. Thus, the propagation of drawdown cone will be limited to a small distance for a temporary period.

Refer Plate-XIII for Ground Water Balance Diagram. Impact Assessment & Control Measures for Noise & Blasting

The sources of noise will be:  Blasting in opencast workings.  CHP Operation.  Coal and OB transportation, loading and unloading. The noise associated with mining activities may be classified into three types  Continuous  Intermittent  Impulsive The workmen associated with the operation of different equipments, etc. experience high noise level in the range of 75-85 dB (A) for more than 4-4.5 hours per shift. So, suitable mitigation measures will be taken to prevent adverse impacts of high noise level on the workmen. This includes provision of ear muffs, sound proof operator cabins, sufficient warnings before blasting, improved blasting techniques, plantation around industrial area and avenue plantation. It is worthwhile to mention that intermittent and impulsive noises are considered to be less dangerous than continuous noise due to the short exposure duration except under the situation when the level exceeds 115 dB (A). Measures for Controlled Blasting  Use of Nonnel for sequential blasting.  Continuous monitoring by vibrometer for Peak Particle Velocity (PPV) Impact on Land Resource and Its Management

The alteration in land use pattern due to mining activity will occur in the proposed mining area. The infrastructural facilities created for this Project will be gainfully utilized during Project life and will be dismantled after closure of mining activity. However, the change in land use pattern due to activities of opencast mining and dumping maybe considered as major and irreversible change which will also lead to permanent alteration of the surface contour and change in local drainage pattern. Refer Plate XIV for Final Stage Land Use Plan.

Impact on land use pattern

The total volume of O.B to be removed is estimated at 3.04 M.cum. The entire OB is proposed to be dumped as internal dump in the existing void of Quarry-I, II & III of Selected Dhori OCP. Maximum dump RL is 280 m which is 70 m (average) above the surface topography. No external OB dumping has been proposed in this project. The void left at the end of mine life is 38.53 Ha (30-70m bgl). Refer plate XV for Final Stage Dump Plan.

Land Reclamation

Land reclamation and enrichment through plantation will be done to bring back the land-use as similar as possible to the pre-mining land use. For this purpose, efforts will be made to bring approximately 180.06 Ha of land under plantation.

The void is proposed to be filled to the extent possible by physical reclamation of last stage dump. The depth of the mine is proposed to be minimized to 30m (max.). The void (38.53 Ha) thus left shall be used as water reservoir.

Time Frame for Land Reclamation

Rehandling of OB material in mine void would be followed by plantation on backfilled area upto 5th year. 1.0 Ha of plantation has already been done in SDQ-1 OCP.

3-tier plantation will be done all along the periphery of the colony for dust and noise attenuation. This will protect colony from air & noise pollution.

Topsoil Management

The salvaging, stockpiling and re-application of topsoil to be used as growth medium in the reclamation of overburden dumps within the mining area is a major environment protection programme. Soil management in opencast mine is necessary to re-establish the stability & productivity of lands disturbed due to mining activity. The top soil removed during excavation has been stocked separately for re-application in reclamation activity. As the mining area is already broken, no further top soil is to be generated from this project. The top soil generated will be spread on the backfilled area and then the plantation will be carried out. Hazardous Waste Management Source of Hazardous Waste:

Waste Handling, Sorting, and Storage at the Source:

The six functional elements in the solid waste management system considered in the report is waste handling, sorting, storage, and processing at the source. Waste handling and sorting involves the activities associated with management of wastes until they are placed in storage containers for collection. Handling also encompasses the movement of loaded containers to the point of collection. Sorting of waste components is an important step in the handling and storage of solid waste at the source. In addition, on-site storage is of primary importance because of public health concerns and aesthetic consideration.

Based on the source, origin and type of waste a comprehensive classification likely to be generated from various facilities in Selected Dhori Group of mines OCP is given below:

a) Domestic/Residential Waste b) Municipal Waste. c) Commercial Waste d) Institutional Waste e) Bulky Wastes f) Street Sweeping g) Construction and Demolition Wastes h) Industrial Wastes i) Hazardous Wastes j) Sewage Wastes

Impact on Flora and Fauna

VRDS Consultants, Chennai carried out the study of flora and fauna in the core and buffer zone. The area is not rich in biological diversity. No wild life population is present in the study area except the common type of birds and domestic animals in the adjoining villages. No significant long-term residual impacts on fauna due to mining are expected. Efforts will be made to return the mined out area to its original or better land use as far as possible. The progressive and final mine closure activity will also further improve the land use of the area.

Mitigation Measures

 Green Belt around the Mine Green belt shall be created (approximately 30m wide) around mine and other dust generating areas to provide an effective dust, noise and sight curtain in the periphery of these locations. The trees planted in the green belt area act as buffers and shock absorber against dusts, noise and stone flying. Trees in the green belt are tall, wind firm, broad leaved and evergreen.  Species for Plantation and Green Belt Development The species selected for plantation on the internal dump and also in the other areas are of mixed type having a combination of fast and slow growing species with an ultimate aim to have triple storey plantation i.e. a combination of species of tall, intermediate and short height. A list of the species suggested for afforestation has already been indicated earlier in this chapter.  Water Treatment & Water Quality Water from Selected Dhori Group of Mines will be discharged only after settling to arrest suspended solids as such, mine discharge from the project will not adversely impact the faunal species diversity within the terrestrial and aquatic habitats of downstream water courses.  Implementing Agency From the project proponent side, Nodal Officer (Env), Dhori Area under the guidance of CM (Env & Forests), CCL HQ will be responsible for plantation and green belt development and other environmental control measures in the project.

Analysis of Alternative

(TECHNOLOGY AND SITES)

Introduction

The Selected Dhori Group of Mines is located in Eastern-most part of the East Bokaro Coal field. Tisri Nala bound it in the west, river Damodar in the south, Tarmi Colliery in the east and village Gunjardih in the north. It covers an area of about 3 sq.km and falls within latitudes 230 45’N to 230 48'N and longitudes 860 02'E to 850 03'E and shown on Survey of India Toposheet no. 73 I/1. The purpose of this report is to apply for grant of environmental clearance for Selected Dhori Group of Mines from Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change (MOEFCC), Govt. of India as per provisions of EIA Notification, 2006. It is envisaged that Selected Dhori Group of Mines will run with a rated capacity of 11.0 MTPA within lease area of 264.85 Ha. Selection of site and method of Mining

Considering the geo mining characteristics of the mining block i.e. thick deposits at shallow depth, moderate gradient of the seams, occurrence of geological disturbances, opencast method of mining with shovel-dumper combination is proposed to work in Selected Dhori mining block. The need for the mine plan for Selected Dhori Group of Mines arises out of the following considerations:  The report envisages improvement in mine economics.  Enhanced level of production from 2.25 MTY to 11 MTY capacity.  Increased recovery or percentage of extraction due to feasibility of opencast mining  Increased demand of coal for power generation.  Enhanced or Improved productivity of existing manpower.  The fire in central sector (Sector-III) has to be dealt with, so that the reserves blocked in this sector may be extracted.  To reduce the considerable gap between demand and supply.

Stability of Benches, Quarry High walls and Spoil Dumps:

During quarry operations, it is necessary to adopt required mining parameters for the stability of benches, high walls and spoil dumps. It is also mandatory to examine systematically the fencing of mine workings, land slides and cracks between benches. It is required to maintain well graded and wide roads on benches keeping the width of working areas sufficient for spreading of blasted rock and movement of the mining and transport equipment. During actual mining operation, systematic observations of the condition of benches, high wall slopes and spoil dumps should be carried out and the dimensions be modified if necessary to suit the local conditions.

Precautions against Danger of Inundation from Surface Water:

 A careful assessment is to be made against the danger from surface water before the onset of rainy season. The necessary precautions should be clearly laid down and

======Prepared by CMPDI, RI-III, Ranchi

114

Final EIA & EMP of Selected Dhori Group of Mines (Capacity 11.00 MTPA) Dhori Area, Central Coalfields Limited ------implemented. Garland drains need to be provided to drain away the surface rain water from coming into the mine.  Inspections for any accumulation of rain water, obstruction in normal drainage and weakening in embankment.  Standing order; for withdrawal of working persons in case of apprehended danger.  During heavy rain inspection of vulnerable points is essential. In case of any danger persons are to be withdrawn to safer places.  Nallah or water inlets may be diverted or isolated by embankments if so required.

Prevention of Flooding of Equipment Deployed at Bottom Horizons:

During the heavy monsoon period, the mining operation in the lower-most bench may have to be stopped. Therefore, it is proposed to drown the lower-most bench, which would work as a sump. The water will be pumped out and discharged into the nearby Nalla. For ensuring safety of the equipment while working out bottom horizons with no access to surface profile, the following measures should be taken:  Drivage of initial trenches and coal cutting on bottom benches should be done during the dry period of the year.  Ramps should be made for quick shifting of equipment from bottom horizons, liable to be flooded during monsoon period, to the top horizons.

Prevention of Electric Shocks:

During mining operations, all the statutory provisions of the Indian Electricity Rules 1956, and Indian Standards for installation and maintenance of electrical equipment etc. should be observed.  For protection from electric shocks to persons, from electrical equipment with voltage up to 1000V Earth Leakage Relay should be provided which will automatically disconnect electrical circuits.  Closed mobile substations and switchgears should be mechanically interlocked which exclude the possibility of opening the door when oil switch and air circuit breakers are in operation.  All metal parts of electrical equipment should be properly earthed to avoid failure of insulation.  All H.T lines and cables located within the blasting zones should be disconnected during blasting operations.

Dust Suppression & Dilution of Exhaust Fumes:

The following measures should be adopted for dust suppression at all quarry working places, dumps, haul roads, CHP and near other auxiliary mining operations. ======Prepared by CMPDI, RI-III, Ranchi

115

Final EIA & EMP of Selected Dhori Group of Mines (Capacity 11.00 MTPA) Dhori Area, Central Coalfields Limited ------ Spraying with water on all working faces & haul roads, by special spraying machines or water-sprinkler.  While drilling holes, it is necessary to use dust extraction devices.  Installation of local dust suppression and air conditioning devices in cabins of excavators and drilling rigs may be considered.  Levelling of spoil dump surface.  Separate dust suppression arrangement should be provided for CHP.

To prevent collection of harmful mixtures in the atmosphere, from the different sections of quarry workings, it is recommended: -

1) To spread out the sources of dust formation and omission of harmful gases throughout the working area of the quarry. 2) Drilling & blasting operations should be timed for periods of maximum wind activity during the day. 3) Dumpers may be provided with purifiers for exhaust gases.

Measures to be taken for Fire Fighting and Fire Prevention:

In addition to statutory provisions, the measures for fire fighting and prevention of fires are as follows: 1) Organisation of special cell for systematic observations to examine and prevent fire 2) Removal of spillage of coal on benches and cleaning of coal horizons to prevent cases of coal heating. 3) Storage of lubricants and cotton waste in enclosed fireproof containers in working places. 4) Provision of fire extinguishers

Measures to be taken while Drilling Blasting:

Following measures should be taken while drilling and blasting operations in the quarry: 1) Drilling and Blasting in quarry should be done in accordance with the provisions of Mines Safety Act, rules and regulations. 2) Adequate safety measures have to be taken during blasting operation in the quarry so that men/machine is not affected. Energy Conservation

Conservation of energy in any form is assuming grater importance in mechanized mines with rapid industrialization and increase in per capita consumption of energy resulting in insatiable demand of energy. The time is not far off when with the existing quantum of energy; the coal mining industry would be facing a bleak future. Hence it is of paramount importance that the existing quantum of energy is put to optimal and economical use with a high degree of ======Prepared by CMPDI, RI-III, Ranchi

116

Final EIA & EMP of Selected Dhori Group of Mines (Capacity 11.00 MTPA) Dhori Area, Central Coalfields Limited ------conservation. Special emphasis is laid at the project formulation stage to take all steps for conservation of electrical energy including power consumption and power demand or fuel consumption. All efforts have been made to incorporate energy conservation system and equipment to achieve this in the planning and installation stage itself. At the stage of planning of the equipment of the opencast mine, a careful study has been made with regard to location of power sub-station for the mine, selection of equipment, conductor size, operating power factor with special reference to the conservation of energy.

Managerial Control To reduce occurrence of maximum power demand of certain group of equipment at a time and improve the effective load factor, demand meters have been proposed in each circuit breaker controlling the feeders. This would reduce power demand of the project at the same level of power consumption and also relieve the system of transmitting useless power.

Energy Audit It is suggested that energy audit in the mine would be done regularly to even out maximum demand, as far as possible. Such an energy audit would not only pin point the defined areas but also would highlight the areas so that improvement can be implemented immediately.

Maintenance A special emphasis would be laid on the preventive maintenance of all electrical, mechanical and HEMM equipment. Energy conservation is very much related to preventive maintenance. Therefore the preventive maintenance would never be over looked. As part of management system, a feedback is necessary for better performance of equipment and statistical information of breakdowns would help in upgrading maintenance practices, after meaningful and purposeful analysis resulting in saving of diesel and power.

Distribution Network In the power distribution network, care has been taken to select suitable size of conductors and cables to minimise losses and voltage drop. It is suggested that the conductor sizes recommended in the P.R are drawn at the construction stage of the project itself to avoid duplication of work later on. The size should not be changed either with higher or lower size of the conductor. Utilisation of voltage for the HEMM within the mine has been recommended as 6.6/3.3 KV. The transformer has been selected to operate at maximum efficiency. Each transformer has been selected to cater to the total load. However, all the transformers under normal conditions would share the load of the mine.

Lighting For the purpose of illumination in mine and dump areas, sodium vapour lamps have been recommended to reduce the energy consumption and to achieve the desired lux level.

Haul Road Dumpers used for transportation of O.B and coal, consume lot of energy in form of consumption of diesel. For effective fuel conservation, it is suggested that haul roads, which play an important role in the use of dumpers and fuel consumption are made better to reduce group resistance. To save energy, therefore, it is absolutely necessary to maintain good haul roads specially at ramps and turnings.

The important areas in the opencast mine working where there is scope of energy

117

Final EIA & EMP of Selected Dhori Group of Mines (Capacity 11.00 MTPA) Dhori Area, Central Coalfields Limited ------savings, have been indicated above. This emphasizes the following: -

(1) The necessity for going in new system technology and equipment. (2) Even during planning, the aspect of energy conservation with respect to equipment size is considered. (3) During operation, it is imperative to conduct an energy audit just like preventive maintenance. (4) Complete monitoring by proper communication and instrumentation would identify the areas where there is energy wastage so that corrective measures are taken. (5) If it deviates from the standards, causes should be identified and corrective action may be taken. (6) Maximisation of utilisation within the load allocated by supply agencies by flattening the peak demand. (7) Provision of adequate size of pumps in the mine especially during monsoon. (8) Staggering mining activities during usual peak hours.

Treatment Technology

1. Workshop discharge → O&G Trap →Settling tank →Reuse 2. Domestic effluent→ Septic Tank.

Water Pollution Control Measures

 Effective water pollution control measures are being taken keeping the following aspects in view:  Sufficient safeguards during the mine operation to make the project eco-friendly from water pollution control point of view.  Recycling of wastewater after appropriate treatment to the extent possible.  Conforming to the limits of the Environment (Protection) Amendment Rules, 2000 ("Schedule-VI", General Standards for discharge of environmental pollutants, Part-A: Effluents) for the quality of the treated effluents.  The mitigation measures to be adopted in this project are given below in the following paragraphs:

(v) Wastewater from mine

Mine discharge water is proposed to be collected in a sump located at the surface from where it will be pumped out after sedimentation to arrest suspended solids. Then clear water will be used for mine & CHP needs. The sludge collected from the pond(s) from time to time will be utilized as landfill in the decoaled area. Workshop effluent is proposed to be treated in Effluent treatment plant (ETP). Then clear water will be reused for workshop requirement.

(vi) Surface run-off from coal dumps

Garland drain will be provided around the coal dumps to collect run-off for diverting into sedimentation ponds before discharge into natural water courses.

(vii) Storm water

To prevent inrush of precipitation run-off from the outside area towards the mine, storm water drains of suitable dimensions have been provided at appropriate locations with outlets to natural water courses. Both storm water drains and settling tanks/ponds are cleaned periodically to avoid choking of drains & malfunctioning of tanks/ponds.

Impact Assessment & Control Measures for Noise & Blasting

The sources of noise will be:  Blastingin opencast workings.  CHP Operation.  Coal and OB transportation, loading and unloading.  The noise associated with mining activities may be classified into three types  Continuous  Intermittent

======Prepared by CMPDI, RI-III, Ranchi

143

Final EIA & EMP of Selected Dhori Group of Mines (Capacity 11.00 MTPA) Dhori Area, Central Coalfields Limited ------ Impulsive

The workmen associated with the operation of different equipments, etc. experience high noise level in the range of 75-85 dB (A) for more than 4-4.5 hours per shift. So, suitable mitigation measures will be taken to preventadverse impacts of high noise level on the workmen. This includes provision of ear muffs, sound proof operator cabins, sufficient warnings before blasting, improved blasting techniques, plantation around industrial area and avenue plantation. It is worthwhile to mention that intermittent and impulsive noises are considered to be less dangerous than continuous noise due to the short exposure duration except under the situation when the level exceeds 115 dB (A). Measures for Controlled Blasting  Use of Nonnel for sequential blasting.  Continuous monitoring by vibrometer for Peak Particle Velocity (PPV)

Assessment of Ecological Damage

The objective of the present chapter is to assess the ecological damage with respect to air, water, land and other environmental attributes due to excess production.

Impact on Land Environment

The excess coal was produced from the same quarry area of the mine as mentioned in the approved EIA/EMP of 2.25 Mty. The excess coal production was mainly to prevent the propagation of fire. No land outside the project area has been broken. It is proposed to control the fire through technical reclamation/fire blanketing and will be reclaimed as per the proposed Post-mining land use plan as given below.

Air Environment

Impact Assessment In coal mining, the major source of air pollution is fugitive dust generated due to mining and its allied activities. To assess the impact of excess production on air environment, the Impact Prediction of particulate Matter (PM10) has been done using FDM 90121 model. The project has achieved its peak production of 6.76 MTPA in 2014-15. Therefore, 2014-15 has been considered as the worst-case scenario for the Impact Prediction. Sources During this phase, activities for mining of coal, its handling and transport were taken up. Such activities are detailed below:

(i) Drilling & Blasting in coal and OB benches Dust and noxious gases (ii) Handling, loading & unloading of coal Dust and noxious gases (iii) Handling, loading & unloading of OB Dust and noxious fumes (iv) Coal transportation to siding Dust and noxious fumes (v) Crushing of coal Dust and noxious gases Handling, loading and unloading of coal at Dust and noxious gases (vi) railway siding Receptors: The transport of particulate matter majorly depends upon the wind direction of that area and the villages lying in the downwind wind direction of the project area will be subjected to greater impact when compared to villages lying in the up wind direction. The wind pattern of the study area was recorded during the post monsoon period of 2013 (26th September to 25thDecember 2013). From the windrose diagram (Plate VII), it can be observed that the predominant wind direction is NW and N-NW. Therefore, receptors were selected at core zone, up-wind, downwind and trans wind (A5) directions. Refer Plate VIII for location of sampling stations on Toposheet. Location of Receptors

The ambient air quality parameters (PM10, PM2.5, SOx and NOx) are being monitored by CMPDI twice fortnight. The trend of air quality parameters in previous years is as shown below. Table: Annual Average Air Quality Trend at Tuniyo Village

Production Year PM10 PM2.5 SOx NOx in Mty 2014-15 6.76 100.00 - <25 20.25 2015-16 5.11 88.00 26.50 <25 21 2016-17 4.17 77.00 28.75 <25 15 2017-18 3.15 80.92 40.35 <25 <6 From the Air Quality monitoring data of previous years shown in the table above, it can be observed that the PM10 values increased when the project has achieved its peak production. Buffer zone of the project region is a highly industrialized zone containing several mines of CCL and other industries including powerhouses of DVC, and is difficult to quantify the impact of a single source. However, from both impact study and monitoring data, all the air quality parameters are observed to be within the permissible limits prescribed as NAAQS, 2009 by CPCB. It can be observed from the above table that the gaseous pollutants are always within limit. However, to mitigate the air pollution and compensate the violation due to excess production the control measures are proposed in Natural and Community Resource Augmentation Plan.

Final EIA & EMP of Selected Dhori Group of Mines (Capacity 11.00 MTPA) Dhori Area, Central Coalfields Limited ------Impact on Water Environment

Water can be categorized in two categories:  Ground Water  Surface Water Ground Water To evaluate the behaviour of long term groundwater level trends, long term water level data from the permanent observation well of CGWB have been referred. Long term water level trends at hydrograph stations Turyo Basti (Well No.: EB-01) and Kargali (Well No.: EB-38) were collected and are given below. It was estimated that the radius of influence due to project activities on ground water regime is about 220m and the Village Turyo Basti falls within this zone of influence. Hence, the impact due to excess production on ground water regime can be well understood by studying the long-term ground water pattern at this location. Long term pre monsoon and post monsoon water level are shown in the table given below and the hydrograph of these stations are shown in Figure. Historical Ground Water Level

The pre-monsoon and post-monsoon water level trend at Kargali monitoring stations shows an inclining trend. Overall groundwater utilisation with the increasing population and by mining has not affected the local groundwater regime and adverse impact has been observed due to excess production. To enhance the ground water recharge, excavated mine voids within the project area have been turned into water bodies filled with excess mine discharge.

Noise and Vibration

The major source of noise and vibration due to mining and its allied activities are as listed below.  Drilling and Blasting  Heavy Machinery  Movement of coal transportation vehicles. Existing Control Measures  Controlled blasting is being practiced.  Blasting is being done at specific time and care is being taken that no person is present in the vicinity during the time of blasting.  No blasting has been carried out within the 150 m of any structure nearby.  As per the blast monitoring report, it was observed that the vibration levels are less than 5mm/sec.  Workmen who are susceptible to heavy noise exposure have been provided with ear muffs and sound proof operator cabins. The noise levels monitored in the previous years by CMPDI are as given below.

Impact on Flora Fauna

The excess production was excavated from the same quarry without diversion of any additional land. Therefore, due to excess production no additional forest land has got affected. The total forest land involved in Selected Dhori GoM is 212.23 Ha which has already been Stage II diverted. As per the Flora Fauna study carried out QCI accredited consultant of CMPDI, the following observations are noted.  Coal mining activity has been prevalent in this region prior to nationalization period, the flora & fauna especially in the core zone of the project is almost degraded.  In buffer zone, the forest occurs in small sporadic patches consist of open mixed deciduous vegetation of Shorea robusta dominant tree species. The remaining area is either barren or used as farm land for cultivation by the villagers growing both traditional and commercial crop varieties.  It was found that there was no endangered, threatened and endemic category fauna as per the IUCN-Red Data Book (RDB), Botanical Survey of India (BSI), Indian wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. During survey no endangered and threatened aquatic fauna have been noticed by the investigation team. Therefore, it can be observed that there is no direct impact on flora & fauna due to excess production because no additional forest land has been broken and the forest land involved has already been diverted and NPV and compensatory afforestation cost for double of the area has already been submitted to statutory bodies. However, due to transport and deposition of air borne particulate matter generated from the mining activity might have affected the flora and fauna in buffer zone. The pattern of incremental fugitive dust concentrations in buffer has been studied in the previous section and isopleth presented in plate XVI and the mitigative measures have been suggested in the NCRAP.

Impact on Socio Economic Profile

 EC violation can cause damage in social context due to excess inflow of mining workers, peripheral workers like workers repairing shops, dhabas etc.  If excess workers come into socio-economic context then it may cause further deterioration of local ecology due to limited carrying capacity of ecology.  This may result in to falling health/ socio-economic standards of existing population as well as vulnerability of new workers.  This in total damages local environment particularly socio-economic context. Here we are not discussing health hazard due to excess production as the same has been discussed in other heads. Preventive/Mitigative measures adopted

Damage Assessment  There is no substantial damage to ecology as mentioned earlier as project area remained same and production was enhanced without significant increase in manpower. However, remedial measures taken under CSR and R&R were significant.  Some impacts cannot be verified independently as it is an industrial complex and impact can be cumulative effect of all the industrial activities running in the periphery. Moreover, mining in the region is substantially older than any other industrial activity in the region therefore it won’t be justified to ascribe any significant socio-economic change to EC violation as local population has benefitted from the mining operations. Remedial Measures  More resources will be dedicated to job oriented skill development activities so that people get involved in sustainable income activities. Skill courses will be according to local needs as well so that youth can have local employment.  Another area of emphasis is education. CCL is providing coaching facility for IIT/NITs entrance exam to local school going children through its CCL ke Laal, Ladli scheme. Similar efforts can be done in reducing school drop-out rates.

Final EIA & EMP of Selected Dhori Group of Mines (Capacity 11.00 MTPA) Dhori Area, Central Coalfields Limited ------ CCL is also involved in renovation of ponds. More ponds will be renovated as rural livelihood are designed around such sources of water. It helps in irrigation, fishery, drinking water for domestic animals etc.  It will be worked in phased manner, taking up developmental activities in one panchayat at a time then next panchayat in next year, if the fund and planning permits.  It will be planned to promote community afforestation, where a village panchayat is encouraged to do afforestation in barren land and self-manage that forest.  Solar lighting will be encouraged. CCL should take up the task to provide street solar lights to villages of buffer zone. Community should be actively involved in this effort. Partial funding or maintenance cost should be raised from the community, so that there is some sense of ownership

Occupational Health and Safety

Due to increased pollution load and mining activities in the period of violation, health of the workmen and villagers living within the vicinity of the project may get affected. Measures implemented  To examine the health status of workmen who are exposed to extreme working conditions, periodic PME checks have been taken up.

 Safety inspections are being done periodically by Safety Officer of the project to check if there is any non-compliance.  Health camps are being organized in the near by villages to check the health status and the report enclosed as annexure XI. Impact Assessment The PME report and Health report of nearby villages has been referred to study the impact on health and safety.  PME report suggests that no such health impact on workmen due to pollution is identified.  From the last 5 years health status of villagers, the major health defects identified were Bodyaches, Anaemia, Dermatties, chest infection etc. and there was no instance of occupational diseases such as pneumoconiosis. However, to get a clear picture of the health status of villagers, more health camps will be organized in nearby villages as a part of NCRAP.
