1.3.2 Importance to the Country and the Region , Porbandar and other coastal belts of region of Gujarat are well known for their metallurgical grade Bauxite deposits. Gujarat State is one of the three major bauxite bearing and producing areas in India. Gujarat produces annually around 1.0 to 1.2 million tonnes of bauxite in India amounting to 17-18% of the national production (around 6.0 Million tonnes). Quality wise the grades vary from low to high-grade alumina, low Silica and low Calcium Oxide. The main grade produced based on Al2O3 content include: <50%, 50 - 56% and > 56%. Mineralogical tests have indicated that the bauxite of this area is highly suitable for metallurgical purposes. Bauxite mining industry of the region contributes significantly to the State gross domestic product and provides direct employment to about thousands of labour. Additional jobs are created by way of transportation and related jobs ancillary to mining. This project aimed to augment the high-grade bauxite supply to various metallurgical, refractory and cement industries.

2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This chapter provides a condensed description of those aspects of the project likely to cause environmental effects. Details are described in following sections with regards to type, need, location, size or magnitude of project operations, technology and other related activities.

2.1 TYPE OF PROJECT Bauxite is the primary ore of Aluminum, which is very important for production for Alumina, abrasives, cement and refractories. Bauxite is a mixture of Hydrous Aluminum Oxides, Aluminum Hydroxides, clay minerals, and insoluble materials. The Aluminum minerals in Bauxite can include: Gibbsite, Boehmite, and Diaspora.

2.2 NEED FOR THE PROJECT India is favorably endowed with large reserves (3037 million tonnes of insitu reserve)1 of Bauxite spread in states like Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, , Madhya Pradesh, Goa and Karnataka. In terms of bauxite reserves, India holds the fifth place in the world. Bauxite reserve in the Gujarat state is of the order of 142.05 million tonnes which is approximately 4.6% of the country’s total reserve. The deposits of Gujarat are distributed in three separate areas: i) Coastal areas of Jamnagar, Junagarh, Amreli and , ii) South and southwestern part of , iii) region comprising parts of Sabarkantha, and Surat districts Bauxite of Jamnagar, Kutch, Sabarkantha and Kheda districts is known for their superior quality especially suitable for the refractory, chemical and abrasive industries. Based on approved mining plan, bauxite from the mine will be of mainly two types viz., High grade (Al2O3 > 50%) which is abrasive and refractory grade and Low grade (Al2O3 upto 30%) which is cement grade and other grade. All grade of bauxite mined out from the site will be supplied to refractory plants. Low grade bauxite may also sold to local consumers only after getting permission from Government of Gujarat.

2.7.4 Life of Mine Mining will be carried out at a maximum production of 60000 TPA and as per IBM approved Mining Plan the life of mine would be 9 years. Entire lease area leaving statutory barrier will be mined out in 9 years.

2.7.5 Conceptual Mining Plan

Ultimate Pit Limit At the end of life of mining, entire lease area leaving statutory barrier will be mined out with an average ultimate depth of 4.0 m. Ultimate Pit boundary is marked on approved Conceptual Plan. Mined out pit will be backfilled with generated waste and soil will be spread on backfilled area and will be covered by plantation of local spices. Remaining pit will be converted into Water reservoir that will be developed as Rain Water Harvesting Pit. Ground water in this area is ranges from 14 to 20 m below ground level (bgl). Hence, rain water collected in mined out pits will recharge the water table. These pits will be terraced and fenced.

Stacking of mineral reject and disposal of waste In the proposed mining plan the waste likely to be generated in the form of associated clay with bauxite deposit, which is below threshold grade and has no sale value & can be treated as waste. The soil present in the proposed area will be excavated separately for the loosened soil, waste, the swelling factor considered is 1.3. The quantity of top soil, waste likely to be generated during plan period is summarized below:-

As volume of mined out voids will be much more than volume of backfilling material, the problem for dumping of waste will not be there. The waste generated will be refilled into the matured voids. As volume of voids is much more than material available for backfilling. Backfilling of the entire mined out land upto original ground level will not be possible. Therefore west part of mined out area will be backfilled and other part of the mined out are will be used as water reservoir. In the water reservoir the higher benches of excavated mining pit shall be terraced and plantation will be done for stabilized the slope. As per approved mining Plan, Year wise generation of waste, formation of voids and backfilled area is summarized in Table 2-11.

2.7.6 Afforestation As per approved mining plan, 250 saplings will be planted covering 1250 m2 area during plan period. Backfilling area will be 3654 m2 as per mining plan. Thus, a total of 2404 m2 area become available on which additional plantation can be carried out. Around 96 additional saplings can be planted on that area per year, considering 5m2 area for each sapling. Total area under the statutory barrier is 16652 m2 on which about 3330 saplings can be planted up to the life of mine, considering 5m2 area for each sapling. Life of Mine is estimated as 9 years. Therefore, about 370 saplings can be planted per year. Therefore, Total 516 saplings can be planted per year, it includes 50 as per mining plan proposal, 96 additional saplings on backfilled area and 370 additional saplings in statutory barrier.

2.7.7 Extent of Mechanization The mining will be done by Semi Mechanized Open Cast mining method with the use of excavator and tipper. The calculation for adequacy of machinery is based on maximum output of overburden and Bauxite. The maximum excavation for one year during plan period is 60000 MT of Bauxite (ROM). The working days in a year considered 300. Excavating & Loading operation at face will be done by excavator of 0.67 cu.m. bucket capacity is proposed to be used for excavation and loading of total volume in cu.m. The boom height will be higher than truck/dumper height. (Boom height Tata Hitachi or PC-200 is 7m). During operation proper safety will be taken care by whistling and keep the person away at safer distance from excavator.

Excavating Parameter C= Bucket Capacity = 0.67 m3. F= Bucket fill factor = 0.9 S= Swell factor = 0.66 D= Density of Bauxite = 2.5 Tonnage Capacity of Excavator = C x F x S x D = 0.67 x 0.9 x 0.66 x 2.5 = 0.994 MT

Calculation for Time Cycle Digging Time & Loading Time = 20 seconds Positioning time for loading = 5 seconds Total time cycle per pass (T) = 25 seconds No. of passes required to fill one tipper = 20/0.994 = 20.12 passes, say 21 passes Time require to fill one tipper = 21 x 25 seconds =525 seconds = 8 minutes 45 seconds Hourly capacity =60/8.45 = 7 Tippers

2.8.4 Air Emissions All proposed mining activities will be carried out during daytime only and hence no electricity of power backup is proposed. Only exhaust gases due to vehicular movement are envisaged in negligible quantity. There will be dust generation during mining activities but in very less amount as the mining will be done by semi mechanized technique and does not involve any blasting activity. Dust suppression will be done regularly by sprinkling of water.

2.8.5 Water Consumption, Waste Water Generation & Disposal Details

Details of Water Consumption Total water requirement for this project is 22.36 KLD. For domestic use, water will be supplied by the means of tankers from the nearby village. For greenbelt development and dust suppression water stored in mined out pits will be used. For domestic purpose: 1.44 KLD For dust suppression: 14.73 KLD For plantation: 6.19 KLD.

Details of Waste water generation and its disposal Only domestic wastewater, ~1.1 KLD, will be generated which will be disposed of in soak pits. Details on water consumption and wastewater generation is given in Table 2-13. Table 2-13: Water Consumption and Waste Water Generation Details Water Quantity Waste Water Generation S. No Category (KLD) (KLD) 1 Domestic Use 1.44 1.1 2 Dust Suppression 14.73 NIL 3 Greenbelt 6.19 NIL 4 Total 22.36 1.1

2.8.6 Solid and Hazardous Waste Identification, Quantification, Storage and Disposal No hazardous waste generation is envisaged for the proposed project. Solid waste in terms of over burden i.e. soil and mineral rejects. Very low grade materials will be generated during mining activities. These solid wastes will be used for back filling of mined out pits in sub sequent stages. Details on year wise generation of overburden and mineral waste and its backfilling is given in Table 2-11.

2.8.7 Mitigation Measures at Design Stage The following will be done  Mining will be done by semi mechanized open cast method. Mining will be done by rock breakers followed by manual shorting of Bauxite of various grades.  The mineralized waste generated during the mining period will be backfilled in order to reduce the change in land cover or topography of the area. This backfilled area will be used for greenbelt development.

 Complete backfilling is not possible so a part of mine out area will be used as water reservoir and stored water will be used for watering the plantation and for dust suppression.  This water stored in mined out pits will be used by farmers and villagers in nearby area thus reducing the ground water dependency. It will also contribute to ground water recharge and hence will improve groundwater quality of the area.  Mine will be worked only in daytime (eight hours/ day) and around 32 persons will work, therefore the domestic waste generated will be low. Electricity or use of DG set for power backup is not required because working will be done only in daytime.

2.8.8 Assessment of New and Untested Technology The mining will be carried out by well-established semi mechanized open cast method with the use of excavator and trippers. It is basic technique which create least environmental impact. Hence there will be no use of any new and untested technology for the proposed project.

3.5 MICROMETEOROLOGY The study of micro meteorological data helps to understand the variations in the ambient air quality status in that region. The prevailing micrometeorological condition at project site plays a crucial role in transport and dispersion of air pollutants. The persistence of the predominant wind direction and wind speed at the project site decide the direction and extent of the air pollution impact zone. The principal variables which affect the micrometeorology are horizontal transport and dispersion, convective transport and vertical mixing and topography of the area towards local influences. Micrometeorological data were collected by using the wind monitor as per CPCB guideline which was installed near project site. All the micrometeorological data were collected on hourly basis. Meteorological conditions of the study area are presented in Table 3-3. Table 3-3: Meteorological Condition of the Study Area Temperature (oC) Relative Humidity (%) Wind Speed (km/hr) Month Min. Max.

3.5.1 Wind Speed and Wind Direction Hourly wind speed data were collected for the period 1st Oct 2017 to 31st Dec 2017 with the help of wind monitor. The rate of dispersion, diffusion and transportation of pollutants in the atmosphere mainly depend on wind speed and its direction. Wind direction and velocity data have been collected during the study period. Dominant wind direction in the study period was from NE –SW during the study period. Wind speed was observed from 0.1 to 10.1 km/hr in the month of Oct, from 0.1 to 15.0 km/hr in the month of Nov and from 0.1 to 12.3 km/hr in the Month of Dec 2017. Month-wise maximum and minimum wind speed data are tabulated in Table 3-3.

3.5.2 Wind Rose Wind rose diagram is a graphical representation of the magnitude and direction of wind speed considering all the directions. From the knowledge of wind rose one can easily predict the direction and extent of spreading of the gaseous and particulate matter from the source. Wind rose diagram has been prepared by using hourly wind velocity and dominant wind direction data and is presented in Figure 3-4.

3.5.3 Interpretation of Micrometeorological Data Wind rose diagram indicate that the wind pattern of the study region was NE to SW during the study period. Based on micrometeorological data, of wind direction and wind speed it is interpreted that chances of maximum dispersion of pollutants will be in SW direction due to upcoming project during the period Oct to Dec 2017.

3.6 AIR ENVIRONMENT Air is the Earth’s atmosphere having the gases in which living organisms live and breathe but air is being deteriorated day by day due to the anthropogenic and natural sources. In present scenario Industrialization, Energy production and the burning of fossil fuels has polluted the air environment. Ambient air quality monitoring was carried out for the assessment of the existing status of background air quality in the study area. This will be useful for assessing the conformity of the ambient air quality to the standards even after commencement of the proposed project.

3.6.1 Selection of Sampling Locations Following points were considered during the selection of Ambient Air Quality Monitoring locations.  Topography/terrain of the study area,  Regional synoptic scale climatologically norm’s,  Densely populated areas within the region,  Location of surrounding Industries,  Representation of regional background,  Facility for Ambient Air Monitoring,  Representation of valid cross – sectional distribution in downwind direction,  Avoidance of proximity of roads, construction activity or any other perturbing activity which may be temporary in nature, which may lead to some erroneous conclusions.  Availability of manpower, electricity, approach, sturdy structure and protection of samplers.  Dominant Wind Direction. To establish the baseline status around the project site of the study region, monitoring was conducted for 8 numbers of locations during 1st Oct 2017 to 31st Dec 2017. At the time of location selection previous micrometeorological data was referred and general wind pattern in the study region was considered for the selection of minimum one location in the downwind direction. However, ambient air monitoring locations were also selected in cross sectional wind direction looking towards the possibility of change in wind pattern during the study period. Ambient Air Quality monitoring locations are presented in Map 3-2 & Table 3-4.

3.7 NOISE ENVIRONMENT The objective of the baseline noise survey was to identify existing noise sources and to measure background noise levels at the sensitive receptors within the study area. Peoples’ perception of noise varies depending on number of factors including their natural sensitivity and hearing ability, past experience of sound, cultural factors and the time of day at which sound is experienced. Continuous sound is perceived quite differently from intermittent sound at the same level. High or continuous noise levels may cause permanent loss of hearing ranging from reduced perception at certain frequencies to total deafness. At comparatively lower levels noise may have psychological effects including disturbance of sleep, annoyance and irritation.

3.7.1 Sources of Noise Pollution The sources of noise pollution in the study area are industrial noise, noise due to commercial activities, noise generated by Community, Vehicular traffic etc.

3.7.2 Noise Level in the Study Area Noise level monitoring was carried out with the help of sound level meter at 8 different locations fall under residential, industrial and high noise generating source. Noise sampling

3.9 TRAFFIC STUDY Proposed project connect with National Highway 8E. Proposed project will attract to commercial vehicles as a result traffic load will also increase on highways. Traffic load play a major role in polluting the air. To assess the traffic load, 4 no. of surveyors were appointed to survey for National Highway 8E. Traffic data collected continuously for 24 hours by visual observation and counting of vehicles under three categories, viz., heavy motor vehicles, light motor vehicles and two/three wheelers. As traffic densities on the roads are high, two persons were deployed simultaneously at each station during each shift- one person on each of the two directions for counting the traffic. At the end of each hour, fresh counting and recording was undertaken. Total numbers of vehicles per hour under the three categories were determined. Traffic study is conducted on State Highway 6 from 11h and 12th Nov 2017. Table 3-12: Traffic Study Survey Total No. of Total No. of No. of Vehicle in PCU Vehicle S.

3.11 HYDROGEOLOGY Groundwater in this area occurs in semi-confined condition. Overlain formations i.e. Gaj clay, laterite, bauxite and lithomarge clay are aquiclude in nature. Amygdaloidal basalt forms an aquifer at this location and is sandwiched between upper aquiclude and below by massive basalt. These aquiclude formations are underlain by basalt, main aquifer in this area. Top of basalt layer is weathered followed by amygdaloidal basalt, having irregular-irretic joint pattern and semicircular to short piped amygdales, followed by massive basalt. Groundwater level in surrounding area reported during well inventory survey and sampling, in post monsoon season (Oct-2017), is ~6 m to ~10 m bgl. However, seasonal fluctuation in groundwater level, as informed by local villagers, ranges from 5 to 10 m. The ultimate working depth, as per approved mining plan, is ~4 m bgl. So, as per proposed mining scheme, it will not intersect groundwater. As per the CGWA guidelines, entire Kalyanpur Taluka (earlier part of Jamnagar district), of Devbhoomi Dwarka district is fall under Safe Category. No groundwater withdrawal is proposed and hence there will not be any major impact on groundwater regime. Infect, water stored into mined out pits will recharge the ground water table and hence improvement in groundwater regime is envisaged. The site is located close to, ~2.8 km, Arabian Sea coast. The groundwater samples collected along the coast in four wells show higher TDS ranging from 2096 to 4956 as well as Chlorides range is 960 to 2029 mg/l. Besides, hardness due to Mg salt is in excess. Higher salinity in these wells possibly due to seawater ingress. Hence, as proposed in mining closure plan, development of water reservoir will help in recharge of groundwater and also in prevention of sea water ingress if any.

3.11.1 Drainage Map Drainage map of the study area has been prepared based on toposheets, satellite images and ground observations. The study area is devoid of any major river but it many streams ranging from 2nd to 4th order are present. Majority streams are seasonal and flows during monsoon and post monsoon season. Regional slope of the area is toward SW and hence many streams follows same path and merges with Arabian Sea. Few streams in NE part of the study area flows toward NE to East and merges with Miyani Creek. Drainage Map of studied region is presented in Map 3-5.

3.12 WATER ENVIRONMENT Physical, Chemical and Microbiological factors influencing water quality are so interrelated that a change in any water quality parameter may trigger other changes in a complete network of interrelated variables. Selected water quality parameters for surface and ground water resources along with biological indicators within study region have been used for water environment and assessing the impact on it by proposed project. A study on water environment aspects of ecosystem plays an important role in environmental assessment to identify water related sensitive issues.

3.12.1 Reconnaissance As a significant part of predefined framework of the present study water samples were collected from selected locations. The Reconnaissance survey was undertaken and monitoring locations were finalized based on:  Presence, Location and uses of major water bodies in the region,  Type and Location of Industrial/residential areas, their intake and effluent disposal locations,  Likely areas that can represent baseline conditions.

3.12.2 Water Quality With the start of water quality study, the water resources in the study area were divided into three categories for getting ideal upshot of baseline status of water quality of the region. These three categories as determined are:  Ground water resources (tube well, open well, springs etc.)  Surface water resources including ponds, river, canals.  Marine water

3.12.3 Sampling and Analysis All the water samples were collected and analyzed as per “Standard Methods for Examination of Water & Wastewater”, APHA 22nd edition, 2012. Water Samples for the analysis of physico-chemical parameters were collected in plastic carboy and parameter wise preserved onsite as per the technique defined in the book of APHA, 22nd edition, 2012. Temperature, pH and DO were analyzed onsite and samples were brought to the laboratory for the analysis of remaining parameters.

3.12.4 Ground Water To assess the quality of ground water, samples were collected from 8 numbers of locations for the analysis of physico-chemical and microbiological parameters. Ground water sampling locations are presented Table 3-15 in and

3.12.5 Summary of Ground Water Quality The test results were compared with the Drinking Water Specification: IS: 10500, 1992 (Reaffirmed 2012) and it is summarized as under.  pH was observed in the range of 7.04 – 7.78, which meets with drinking water norms.  Turbidity was found in the range of 1.4 – 3.4 NTU.  Total Dissolved Solid (TDS) were recorded in the range of 608 - 4956 mg/L with minimum at Gangdi village and maximum at Navadra village.  Conductivity varies from 930 to 7610 µmho/cm. The ratio of TDS to conductivity was observed in the range of 0.6 to 0.65 which is within the desired range.  Total Hardness was in the range of 250- 1864 mg/L with minimum at Gangdi village and maximum at Navadra village.  Total Alkalinity was found in the range of 230 - 1352 mg/L with minimum at Gangdi village and maximum at Navadra village.  Chloride was found in the range of 160 to 2029 mg/L and Sulphate varies from 20.4 to 84.2 mg/L.  Iron was found in the range of 0.18-0.45 mg/L with minimum at Gangdi village and maximum at Navadra village.  As microbiological parameters MPN analysis was also carried out and it was found Nil.

3.12.6 Interpretation of Ground Water Quality Data Based on comparison study of test results with drinking water norms, it is interpreted that water qualities of studied locations do not meet with the standards except Gangdi Village. All the ground water samples are having high TDS, Chloride and Total Hardness due to close proximity to sea and saline formations at top. It is advisable to drink such water after treatment from RO.

3.12.7 Surface Water To assess the quality of Surface water, samples were collected from 3 numbers of locations for the analysis of physico-chemical and microbiological parameters. Frequency of sampling was once during the study period. Sampling and analysis was carried out as per “Standard Methods for Examination of Water and Wastewater 22nd edition, 2012. Surface water sampling locations are presented in the Table 3-17 and Map 3-7. Analysis results are presented in Table 3-18 and Table 3-19.

1) Immediate investigative action shall be taken if either E.coli or total coliform bacteria are detected. The minimum action in the case of total coliform bacteria is repeat sampling; if these bacteria are detected in the repeat sample, the cause shall be determined by immediate further investigation. 2) Although, E. coli is the more precise indicator of fecal pollution, the count of thermo tolerant coli form bacteria is an acceptable alternative. If necessary, proper confirmatory tests shall be carried out. Total coliform bacteria are not acceptable indicators of the sanitary quality of rural water supplies, particularly in tropical areas where many bacteria of no sanitary significance occur in almost all untreated supplies. 3) It is recognized that, in the great majority of rural water supplies in developing countries, fecal contamination is widespread. Under these conditions, the national surveillance agency should set medium-term targets for progressive improvement of water supplies.

3.12.8 Summary of Surface Water Quality The following description is based on the analysis of the samples:  During the analysis pH of the samples was found in the range of 7.17 - 8.08.  TDS analysis was also carried out for surface water sample and it was found in the range of 221-1066 mg/L.  TSS was found in the range of 8 – 16 mg/L.  Total Hardness ranges from 124 – 304 mg/L with maximum in the water sample of Maleta and minimum in Project Site.  DO is one of the important parameter to indicate towards the contamination of organic matter. DO level decreases as soon as organic contamination increases. During analysis DO was found in the range of 4.8-5.1 mg/L.  COD and BOD analysis was also carried out during the study period and results were found more than the expected value. Various literatures show that BOD should be less than 4.0 mg/L for the better survival of aquatic life.  Total Nitrogen was found in the range of 1.1 – 1.5 mg/L.  Heavy metal analysis was also carried out and the Iron content was found in the range of 0.12- 0.34 mg/L. MPN test was also carried out for this surface water sample and it was found positive. It indicates towards the faecal contamination in surface water body.

3.12.9 Interpretation of Surface Water Quality Data Based on test result data comparison study, it is interpreted that River water quality does not meet with drinking water norms as per IS 10500:2012. Results of COD, BOD and Iron have been found more than expected value which indicates that water has been contaminated with organic matter. This organic contamination may be due to animal bath and death and decay of plants leaves. This water should not be directly used in drinking purpose but it can be used in drinking after conventional treatment followed by disinfection. This water can be used in irrigation and other domestic purposes.

3.12.11 Summary of Marine Water Quality  Temperature is an important parameter, which affects the living organisms. The temperature of the water was less than ambient air temperature which define that marine water is not contaminated.  The pH variation was observed in a narrow range of 7.54 to 7.60. pH range is maintained -2 -2 due to buffering action of CO2,CO3 and HCO3 .  Salinity was observed in the range of 35470 to 38560 mg/L which is near to the expected value.  DO is an essential parameter which affects the biotic component of the water. Fish and other aquatic life take oxygen through the gill. DO levels affect the aerobic bacterial population as well as chlorophyllous Phytoplankton. During study period maximum DO level was recorded up to 5.7 mg/L during high tide which is as per expected value.  BOD is also an important parameter to define the environmental scenario of marine ecosystem as it affects the DO level. BOD was found <4 mg/L for all the samples.  Iron varies from 1.00 to 1.15 mg/L. Minimum value for Iron was recorded during High tide. Other Heavy metals were found well within the range.

 Microbiological and biological analysis was also carried out for marine water sample where MPN value was found in the range of 35 to 56 No./100ml . E-coli and streptococci results were found below detection range.

3.12.12 Interpretation of Marine Water Quality Data Based on the test result for the parameters DO and BOD it is interpreted that the Marine water quality is suitable for the survival of marine aquatic life as DO >4.0 mg/L and BOD value is below detection limit. Certain microbes survive at the DO level up to 0.8 mg/L and all biological marine organism can survive at the DO level >4 mg/L. Salinity has been found in the expected range. Iron content have been found more than the desired value and other heavy metal parameters have been found within the expected range. High concentration of Iron may be due to the sediment composition.

3.13 SOIL QUALITY Four numbers of samples were collected from different locations within 10 km radius to assess the base line status of soil. Analysis was also carried out for physico-chemical parameters as well as the parameters to define the texture class. Soil samples were collected by using core cutter and brought to the laboratory in polythene bags. Standard procedures have been followed for soil sampling and analysis. Soil sampling locations are presented in Map 3-8 and tabulated in Table 3-28. Results are presented in Table 3-29.

3.13.1 Summary of Soil Data  The soils are categorized as sandy loam to clay based on different soil separates (sand, silt and clay).  They have moderate water holding capacity (32.1 to 36.2 %), but poor drainage capacity as texture is clay at the site as nearly 73 % is silt + clay.  The soil is categorized as alluvial having > 1m depth. The pH of the soil samples narrowly ranged from 7.21 to 7.74 during the study period.  The soil EC also varied from 0.64 to 1.68 dS/m and ESP ranged from 19.9 to 25.1.  Among exchangeable basic cations predominance of calcium (22.1 to 25.1 meq/100 g soil) was seen followed by Mg (12.4 –22.1 meq/100 g soil), Na (4.8 to 12.2 meq/100 g soil) and K (2.5 to 4.8 meq/100 g soil).  The loss on ignition (0.3 to 0.6 % OC) indicate that soils are low (< 0.5 % OC) to medium (<0.75 % OC) in organic carbon status. This shows that soils are low to medium in nitrogen status.  Considering only 2% available phosphorus based on total P, soils are classified as

poor (>28 kg P2O5/ha) in available P.  On the basis of exchangeable potassium values soils are categorized as high (>280

kg K2O/ha) in potassium status.  The results relating to total Fe, Cu, Cr, B and Zn do not show alarming concentrations in different soil samples.

3.13.2 Interpretation of Soil Data Based on soil analysis data it is concluded that soils are normal from salinity and sodicity view points. The soils are low to medium in nitrogen, low in phosphorus and high in available potassium. The levels of total Fe, Cu, Cr, B and Zn are within the limits. However, for successful greenbelt development liberal quantity of organic

The potassium is adequate, hence 20 % less than the recommended dose for green belt should be applied. The soil at the project site should be periodically monitored for EC, pH and ESP as well as OC (organic carbon), available p and K.

3.14 ECOLOGY AND BIODIVERSITY

3.14.1 Terrestrial Ecology Plants and animals are more susceptible to environmental stress. A change in the composition of biological communities is reflected by a change in the distribution pattern, frequency, density and abundance of natural species of flora and fauna existing in the ecosystem. These changes over a span of time can be quantified and related to the existing environmental factors. Natural flora and fauna are important features of the environment. They are organized into natural communities and are sensitive to outside influences. Integrating ecological thinking into the planning process is urgent need in the context of deterioration of natural environment, which is unwanted but direct consequence of development. Study area comprises of 30% Sea, 29% cropping (dominant crop is ground nut), 9% Grassland, 7% fallow land, 5% stone (mainly bauxite), 2% Forest area, 1% human settlement and other area which is dry. Study area: 334.37 sq. km. (10 km radii w.r.t. project site) Core Zone: Projects site and 1 km radii w.r.t. project site. Buffer Zone: 10 km radii w.r.t. project site except core zone. Study Period: Oct to Dec 2017 Ground Truthing: 3-6 Oct. 2017 The terrestrial and aquatic ecological status of the study area has been provided in detail in Annexure 7.

3.14.2 Interpretation of Ecology and Biodiversity Study area has 30% sea shore and 70% terrestrial. No any major forest observed in the study area, the wild life distribution is meagre. None of the sighted faunal species can be assigned endemic species category of the study area. Mining operation may affect the crop productivity of nearby area, as agriculture fields are very close to lease. An urgent need to protect agro-biodiversity of the area by using good practice in bauxite mining such as controlled wet blasting, 5m high boundry on periphery; regular water sprinkling and manual mining instead of Mechanized mining, plantation over benches, rainwater harvesting and its use in irrigation and restoration of mine pits. The effective plantation should be done in periphery i.e. 10 m wide in 3 tier green belt development.

3.15 SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT Socioeconomics (also known as socio-economics or social economics) is the social science that studies how economic activity affects social processes. In general it analyzes

Draft EIA-EMP Report for Mining of 60,000 TPA (ROM) Bauxite at Survey No. 415/P (Old), 1883/P (New), Village Lamba, Taluka Kalyanpur, District Devbhoomi Dwarka, Gujarat how societies progress, stagnate, or regress because of their local or regional economy, or the global economy. In order to assess and evaluate the likely impacts arising out of any new or existing projects in socio-economic environment, it is necessary to gauge the apprehension of the people in the surrounding areas. Socio-economic survey serves as an effective tool for fulfilling this requirement. The rapid industrialization of the study region has greatly influenced the socio economic and health environment in the villages. Increasing industrialization and population density has increased pressure on resources, civic amenities and public infrastructure. Economic conditions of the local people have improved with the increasing industrialization and greater employment opportunities. The socio-economic environment includes demography structure, population density, literacy level, and employment levels. The data establish a baseline for the prediction of likely impacts of the proposed activity on the socio-economic environment. Secondary information pertaining to the study area villages was collected from Government Agencies, Census data for the year 2001 & 2011, and statistical abstracts to compile the socio-economic data.

3.15.1 Socio-Economic Survey Methodology Socio-economic survey tools provide a means of improving understanding of local resource management systems, resource use and the relative importance of resources for households and villages. They can also be used to elicit insights on interaction with government decision-making systems, community perceptions of trends and priority issues, and community-based institutions and their role in the sustainable use and conservation of natural resources. Data Collection: Following steps were considered for the collection of primary data: 1. Identification of Study Area: The study area was identified before carrying out the survey. All the related information which could affect the prosperity, development & literacy were also collected. 2. Site Visit: Location wise survey plan & format for data collection were prepared for site visit. Data regarding Land Characteristics, Population, Literacy, Workers and Amenities were collected during the survey. Analysis of Data: The data collected by primary survey were verified with secondary data collected from sources like Government Agencies, Census data for the year 2001 and 2011, and statistical abstracts.

3.15.2 Demography Almost all villages in the study area are experiencing a rapid growth of population due to industrialization. The total population of study region is summarized in Table 3-30.

3.15.3 Population Density Population density in the study area varies from 74 - 254 person/sq. km. Details of the same are tabulated in Table 3-30.

Figure 3-7: Graph of Literacy Rate Among all the villages of study area Lamba village is having high literacy rate i.e. 62.27 %. There is not much difference between female literacy rate and male literacy rate in the study region. Female literacy rate is an important indicator for social change.

3.15.6 Economic Aspects Economic aspects of the study area include the economic structure of the people of the surrounding area. It can be predicted that economic structure of the study area will be improved with time, because it consists large industrial estate and hence there are more employment opportunities. According to working status, whole population of the study area is divided into,  Marginal workers  Non workers  Main workers

Census department has defined 10 categories of workers in Main workers. It consists of cultivators, agricultural, labourer those engaged in livestock, forestry, fishing, mining and quarrying, manufacturing, processing and repairs in household industries and other services. Workers engaged in the work for a period less than 6 month during the reference year falls under marginal workers. Workers engaged in unpaid household duties e.g. students, retired person, dependents etc. falls under non-workers. Detail of occupational structure is shown in Table 3.35 and Figure 3.27.

3.15.8 Interpretation of Socio Economic Data During the primary survey it was observed that almost pakka road facility is available in all villages within 10 km radius. Literacy rate of the study region is from 46.62% to 62.27%. On the basis of survey for literacy rate data it is interpreted that there is need to promote education among more and more people. Almost all the villages have more than 50 % people as non-workers. It indicates that the problem of unemployment can be solved by providing proper training and education. There is also need to establish more industries so that maximum employment can be generated.

3.16 SUMMARY Summary of the baseline studies carried out during 1st October to 31st December 2017 is provided in Table 3-43.

Table 3-43: Summary of Baseline Studies S. No. Parameters Baseline Status 1. Ambient Air Quality 3 i. PM10 62.7– 85.5 µg/m 3 ii. PM2.5 30.4 – 43.8 µg/m 3 iii. SO2 13.0 – 22.2 µg/m 3 iv. NOx 18.9- 30.4 µg/m Based on comparison study of results with NAAQS for tested parameters, it is interpreted that ambient air quality of studied locations is good as all the results of tested parameters are well within the limit. 2. Noise Level Monitoring i. Day Time (06:00 AM to 10:00 PM) 45.9 – 82.3 dB (A) ii. Night Time (10:00 PM to 06:00 AM) 39.1 – 77.4 dB (A) Based on noise level data obtained during the survey for residential area and industrial area, it is interpreted that noise levels are within the standard norms prescribed by MoEF & CC. Looking towards the increase in noise generating sources it is suggested that there is need to apply noise reducing devices at noise generating sources and generate public awareness. 3. Soil Quality and Characteristics i. pH 7.21-7.74 ii. Organic Carbon (%) 0.3-0.65 % iii. Total Nitrogen 12.4 – 22.7 mg/100g iv. Total Phosphorous 11.2-15.6 mg/100g v. Exchangeable Calcium 22.1-25.1 mg/100g vi. Exchangeable Magnesium 12.4-22.1 mg/100g Based on soil analysis data it is concluded that soils are normal from salinity and sodicity view points. The soils are low to medium in nitrogen, low in phosphorus and high in available potassium. The levels of total Fe, Cu, Cr, B and Zn are within the limits. However, for successful greenbelt development liberal quantity of organic manure (50 tons/ha) and double the quantity of recommended doses of N and P fertilizers should be applied. The potassium is adequate, hence 20 % less than the recommended dose for green belt should be applied. The soil at the project site should be periodically monitored for EC, pH and ESP as well as OC (organic carbon), available p and K. 4. Ground Water i. pH 7.04 - 7.78 ii. TDS 608 – 4956 mg/L iii. Total Hardness 250 – 1864 mg/L iv. Total Alkalinity 230 – 1352 mg/L v. Chloride 160 – 2029 mg/L vi. Total Coliform Absent Based on comparison study of test results with drinking water norms, it is interpreted that water qualities of studied locations do not meet with the standards except Gangdi Village. All the ground water samples are having high TDS, Chloride and Total Hardness except Gangdi Village. These water sources should not be used in drinking. To save the ground water from contamination and improving the quality, rainwater harvesting and ground water recharging may be helpful. 5. Surface Water i. pH 7.17-8.08 ii. TDS 221 – 1066 mg/L iii. TSS 8-16 mg/L iv. DO 4.8-5.1 v. COD 10-12 mg/L vi. BOD <4-5 mg/L Based on test result data comparison study, it is interpreted that River water quality does not meet with drinking water norms as per IS 10500:2012. Results of COD, BOD and Iron have been found more than expected value which indicates that water has been contaminated with organic matter. This organic contamination may be due to

4 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND

MITIGATION MEASURES

4.1 INVESTIGATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS DUE TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT This chapter comprises the information regarding the identified beneficially or adversely environmental impacts due to possible aspects predicted because of location of the plant, expected / predicted accidents scenario, conceptualization of project, preconstruction & construction activities and due to operation of machineries/equipment. Environmental aspect-impact relationship will be identified and quantified with its scale of magnitude and scale of importance, accordingly significance of impact will be determined along with mitigation measures.

4.2 IMPATCT ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY The impact assessment essentially consists of three steps: 1. Impact Identification 2. Impact Predictions 3. Impact Analysis for determination of significance of impacts Here, impact assessment has been done based on Leopold Matrix in which each action and its potential in creating impact is expressed in terms of its magnitude and importance. For quantitative representation, both magnitude & importance are represented by values as described below: Scale of Importance: Importance of an interaction is related to its significance, or an assessment of probable consequences of anticipated impact. It ranges from 1 to 10; with 10 representing a very important interaction and 1 of relatively low. Scale of Magnitude: Impact score or magnitude ranges from 0-5 with positive and negative values, depending upon the impact rising out of the project activity. Refer Table 4-1 for Severity Criteria for Magnitude of Impacts. Table 4-1: Severity Criteria for Magnitude of Impacts

Impact S. No Category Description of category Adverse Beneficial 1. No impact - 0 0 2. No appreciable impact Short term reversible -1 1 3. Significant impact Long term reversible -2 2 4. Major impact Irreversible but of lesser extent -3 3 5. High impact Irreversible but of medium extent -4 4 6. Permanent impact Severe irreversible impact -5 5

4.2.3 Air Environment

Preparation of Site

Environmental Impacts  There will be generation of dust & vehicular emission due site clearance, excavation, leveling, approach road preparation etc.

Mitigation Measures  Regular water sprinkling will be done to reduce dust generation.  Vehicles having PUC certificates will only.

Mining Operations

Environmental Impacts  Generation of SPM

Mitigation Measures  Regular water sprinkling will be done to reduce dust generation.  Dust mask will be provided to the workers at site.

Air Quality Modeling The proposed project is mining of bauxite and hence modeling is done by considering area source to predict impact on ambient air quality during mining operations. To assess the impact of air emissions from various continuous sources, air dispersion Modeling study has been conducted with the help of Industrial Source Complex Short Term Model (ISCST3) version 5.0 model of AermodCloudTM developed by Envitrans Infosolution Pvt. Ltd.

Meteorological Parameters Surface meteorological data at project site was collected for post monsoon season, 2017. The hourly meteorological data considered during this period were:  Wind speed;  Wind direction;  Ambient atmospheric temperature;  Cloud cover;  Relative Humidity Following parameters were considered for dispersion modeling – Area source:

Mining of Bauxite results into generation of pits. Dust within the pits is carried over and adds to the particulate matter in the ambient air. The emission factor of mining operation is considered as per following: Parameters values Max. Quantity to be mined ROM (TPA) 60000 Max. Quantity to be mined out ROM tons per day(300 200 working days) Max. Quantity to be mined out ROM tons per hour 25 (eight hours working shift) Meteorological data for the project area has been obtained for the period starting from October to December 2017. Wind rose diagram is shown as Fiigure 4-1. Figure 4-1: Wind rose Diagram

Wind rose represents the wind patterns in the nearby area of project site. The first predominant wind direction is from NE to SW. Whereas, second predominant wind direction is from North to South and third predominant wind direction is from NNE to SSW. The calm conditions are 17.6% during the study period.

Isopleths for different parameters For the purpose of impact predictions on air environment, emission sources can be classified into point and area sources. Whilst no point sources have been identified as part of the project but as the proposed project is of open cast mining of bauxite and hence area source have been considered for modeling purpose.

Air Dispersion Modeling The Isopleth of incremental increase in GLC of PM is shown in Figure 4-2. Figure 4-2: Isopleth for Incremental Increase in Concentration of PM

Incremental Increase For the purpose of the impact assessment, the more relevant determination for anticipated pollutants is the incremental increase in the background concentration rather than the determination of maximum GLC values. In the present study, an attempt has been made to

Interpretation

When predicted 24 hourly ground level concentrations of PM emissions from the source is added to background maximum monitored values, resultant values remain well below the prescribed National Ambient Air Quality Standards at all the location. Hence, there is negligible on the ambient air quality of the area due to the proposed mining project. Maximum ground level concentration of PM is 2.00 µg/m3, found near project site at the distance of 173 m from the project site. As part of precautionary measure, to minimize the likely environmental impacts on air environment due to the proposed project, necessary mitigation measures like water sprinkling through tanker mounted with sprinklers, thick greenbelt in 3 tier should be developed. Project site boundary (10.0 m) should be developed to check the fugitive emission to nearby agricultural field.

7.3 RISK ASSESSMENT

7.3.1 Background The methodology for the risk assessment has been based on the specific risk assessment guidance issued by the Directorate General of Mine Safety (DGMS), Dhanbad, vide Circular No.13 of 2002, dated 31st December, 2002.

Eco Chem Sales & Services Doc. No: 2017_ECSS_EIAMI_1700013 Chapter 7 101

Draft EIA-EMP Report for Mining of 60,000 TPA (ROM) Bauxite at Survey No. 415/P (Old), 1883/P (New), Village Lamba, Taluka Kalyanpur, District Devbhoomi Dwarka, Gujarat

The DGMS risk assessment process is intended to identify existing and probable hazards in the work environment and all operations and assess the risk levels of those hazards in order to prioritize those that need immediate attention. Further, mechanisms responsible for these hazards are identified and their control measures, set to timetable are recorded along with pinpointed responsibilities In the unlikely event that a consequence has occurred, disaster management kicks in. This includes instituting procedures pertaining to a number of issues such as communication, rescue, and rehabilitation. These are addressed in the disaster management plan. Both, the RA and DMP, are living documents and need to be updated whenever there are changes in operations, equipment or procedures Assessment is all about preventing accidents and taking necessary steps to prevent it from happening.

7.3.2 Key Definitions Hazard: Source of potential harm, injury, or loss. Consequence: Size of the loss or damage. In terms of health and safety, it is the degree of harm that could be caused to people exposed to the hazard, the potential severity of injuries or ill health and / or the number of people who could be potentially affected. Consequence of a hazard need not only be in terms of safety criteria but could also be in terms of a money loss, incurred costs, loss of production, environmental impacts as well as public outrage. Risk: Combination of the likelihood of a specific unwanted event and the potential consequences if it should occur. Risk Assessment: Is a process that involves measurement of risk to determine priorities and to enable identification of appropriate level of risk treatment (used also to describe the overall process of risk management). Risk Control: Implementation of strategies to prevent or control hazards. Risk Rating: The category or level or risk assigned following risk assessment (e.g. High, Medium or Low). Risk Management: Overall description of the steps taken to manage risk, by identifying hazards and implementing controls in the workplace. Emergency: A situation of process deviation that, if uncontrolled, may lead to a major accident/disaster with potential short term and/or long term risk damage conse¬quence to life and property in and/or around the workplace. Disaster: A catastrophic consequence of a major emergency / accident that leads to not only extensive damage to life and property, but also disrupts all normal human activity for a significant period of time and requires a major national and / or international effort for rescue and rehabilitation of those affected.

7.4 SCOPE OF WORK FOR RA & DMP STUDY The scope of work has been framed as per DGMS requirements for risk and safety studies in mines, and includes the hazard identification, risk assessment, and ranking, resulting in treatment controls and action plans.

7.4.1 Level 1: Hazard Identification Hazard identification includes:

Eco Chem Sales & Services Doc. No: 2017_ECSS_EIAMI_1700013 Chapter 7 102

Draft EIA-EMP Report for Mining of 60,000 TPA (ROM) Bauxite at Survey No. 415/P (Old), 1883/P (New), Village Lamba, Taluka Kalyanpur, District Devbhoomi Dwarka, Gujarat

Study of Safety Issues Pertaining to the Project  Study of operational information, including safety concepts used in design of equipment and storages.  Listing of hazardous inventory and identification of key hazardous substances to be used  Available procedures and the extent to which they are followed in operational mines by the same organization.  Consultations with employees who carry out or are likely to carry out the jobs.  Safety statistics for this and other mines, as applicable and available.  Statutory mine inspection reports, where available.  Past history of accidents and near misses. The above are applicable to all the aspects of the mining activities including Mining of minerals, their transport, and processing (as applicable).

Identification of Hazard Scenarios  Identification of scenarios that can cause damage to life & property.

7.4.2 Level 2: Risk Assessment & Ranking

Risk Assessment As defined earlier, risk is a function of likelihood and consequence. Likelihood is the chance that the hazard might occur. Since the risk of any hazard is dependent upon the chance, that it will occur (likelihood) and the impact of an occurrence (consequence):  Risk Score = Likelihood x Consequence In some cases, personnel are only exposed to the hazard for part of the time. Hence, a more detailed analysis of the risk ranking can be carried out by taking exposure (% time personnel are present) and probability (chance that they will be harmed) into consideration. Thus:  Risk Score = (Probability x Exposure) x Consequence The values used for likelihood, consequence, exposure or probability need to be agreed by the risk assessment team, and there is an element of professional judgment in exercising these choices. Risk Ranking Risk ranking can be determined by qualitative and quantitative means. It should however be remembered that no one method is best. The best choice of method will depend on the circumstances and preferences at the mine, at the time the exercise is done. However, regardless of the method establishing risk ranking will set priorities for Hazard control. The most important purpose in hazard identification, risk assessment, and ranking is to draw up and implement plans to control these hazards. However, keeping the acceptance of the participants during workshops conducted at different mines, DGMS has suggested a criteria table for quantitative risk ranking to be used as in Table 7-2. Table 7-2: Risk Ranking Criteria Scale for consequence Scale for exposure Scale for probability Several dead: 5 Continuous: 10 May well be expected: 10 One dead: 1 Frequent (daily): 5 Quite possible: 7 Significant fatality chance: 0.3 Seldom (Weekly): 3 Unusual but possible: 3 One permanent disability/ less Unusual (Monthly): 2.5 Only remotely possible: 2 chance of fatality: 0.1

Many lost time injuries: 0.01 Occasional (Yearly): 2 Conceivable but unlikely: 1 One lost time injury: 0.001 Once in 5 years: 1.5 Practically impossible: 0.5 Small injury: 0.0001 Once in 10 years: 0.5 Virtually impossible: 0.1 Once in 100 years: 0.02 On the basis of the above scoring format, and after a perusal of the resultant scores, professional judgment was exercised in selecting the following scale for assessing risk levels:  Level 1: > 15; i.e., requiring immediate action  Level 2: <15 but > 5; i.e., requiring management action  Level 3: < 5; i.e., low risks requiring periodic review

7.4.3 Level 3: Treatment Controls and Action Plans

Treatment Controls After examining the high priority risks, consideration is given to consider the potential to reduce or eliminate the risk by using the hierarchy of controls. This assists establishing methods to reduce the risk. From experience, the effectiveness of each method is given as a percentage after each of the control descriptions. The desirability of control plans (with reducing effectiveness) is as follows:  Elimination: Remove steps to eliminate the hazard completely.  Substitution: Replace with less hazardous material, substance, or process.  Separation: Isolate hazard from person by guarding, space, or time separation.  Administration: Adjusting the time or conditions of risk exposures.  Training: Improving skills making tasks less hazardous to persons involved.  Personal protective equipment: Used as the last resort, appropriately designed and properly fitted equipment where other controls are not practicable. Control measures can reduce either the likelihood or consequence of the event or both. Depending on the level of reduction of the hazard, there could still be a residual risk that needs to be monitored so that a secondary prevention process can be initiated when trigger points are reached.

Action Plans The team should develop an action plan recommending actions, responsibilities and when it should be completed. These require to be put forward to the decision-making authority and get reviewed, if necessary before taking a decision to proceed.

7.4.4 Level 4: Development of Disaster Management Plan The suggested DMP has been organized in a Plan, Do, Check, Review (PDCR) cycle to enable effective implementation.

7.5 HAZARD IDENTIFICATION The proposed mining activities have been described in Chapter 2. The identification of hazards has been done considering these operations. The hazards have been covered under three broad activities that are part of the proposed surface mining operations: mining the mineral, transporting the mineral, and processing the mineral. While identifying the hazards, a consideration of issues discussed in Section 7.5.1 has been done. Hazard

7.9 DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN The Disaster Management Plan (DMP) is a guide, giving general considerations, directions and procedures for handling emergencies likely to arise from planned operations. The DMP has been prepared for the IM (Industrial Minerals) based on the Risk Assessment and related findings covered in the earlier chapters of this report.

7.9.1 Disaster Management Plan: Structure The DMP is supposed to be a dynamic, changing, document focusing on continual improvement of emergency response planning and arrangements. A structure working on a Plan, Do, Check & Review (PDCR) cycle has been therefore suggested. Another advantage of doing this is to have a system that is in synchronicity with commonly used EHS systems such as ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18000. The DMP is covered in further detail in the remaining sections of this Chapter.

7.9.2 Policy The Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) policies are to be made accessible to all at site and to other stakeholders. The policies must be framed considering legislative compliance, stakeholder involvement, continual improvement, and management by objectives.

7.9.3 Planning

Identification and Prevention of Possible Emergency Situations

Identification of Emergencies Possible emergency situations can broadly be classified into unintended explosions, vehicle collision, and inundation. Additional emergency situations can be developed on the basis of audit or other procedures prior to commencement of operations.

Emergency Prevention Some of the ways of preventing emergencies are as follows:  Preparation of a Preventive Maintenance Schedule Programme based on recommendations and also covering maintenance schedules for all critical equipments and instruments as per recommendations of the manufacturers user manuals,  Importantly, it is of great importance to collect and analyze information pertaining to minor incidents and accidents at the site, as well as for recording near misses or emergencies that were averted. This information gives an indication of how likely or unlikely it is for the site to face actual emergencies and what should be further done to prevent them from occurring.  Establishment of an ongoing training and evaluation programme, incorporating the development of capabilities amongst employees about potential emergencies and ways and means of identifying and averaging the same. Most emergencies do not occur without some incident or an abnormal situation. So there is always some time of few seconds to few minutes to arrest an incident of abnormal situation from turning in to an emergency. This is the role of the shift in-charge who is the incident controller (IC) along with his shift team.

10.3 GREENBELT DEVELOPMENT As per approved mining plan, 250 saplings will be planted covering 1250 m2 area during plan period. Backfilling area will be 3654 m2 as per mining plan. Thus, a total of 2404 m2 area become available on which additional plantation can be carried out. Around 96 additional saplings can be planted on that area per year, considering 5m2 area for each sapling. Total area under the statutory barrier is 16652 m2 on which about 3330 saplings can be planted up to the life of mine, considering 5 m2 area for each sapling. Life of Mine is estimated as 9 years. Therefore, about 370 saplings can be planted per year. Therefore, Total 516 saplings can be planted per year, it includes 50 as per mining plan proposal, 96 additional saplings on backfilled area and 370 additional saplings in statutory barrier. Plant species suggested are provided in detail in Table 10-2 and greenbelt plan is provided in Table 10-3. Table 10-2: Plant Species Suggested for Greenbelt Development Ecological S.

10.4 RAINWATER HARVESTING AND RECHARGE It is not possible to backfill entire mined out land up to original ground level as after mining of bauxite minerals voids is much larger than material available for backfilling. Therefore up to life of the mine the South part of the lease area will be backfilled as shown in Map 2-5. The produced rejects are not in sufficient quantity so that the entire excavated pit will not be back filled. The part area will back filled and remaining will left as reservoir. The table for extent of backfilling given in Table 10-4. Table 10-4: Generation of Reservoir after Backfilling Particulars Area is m2 After 5 years proposal Till end of the life of the mine Formation of mined out voids 17714 36548 Extent of backfilling 3654 21928 Reservoir 14060 14620 Depth of the reservoir will be around 4 m and hence total storage capacity of reservoir will be 58480 m3. This reservoir will be fenced and terraced properly for the easy access for nearby farmers. Rainwater stored into this reservoir can be useful to nearby farmers for irrigation. It will also naturally recharge groundwater and hence groundwater quality in the vicinity of the area will be improved.

10.5 OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH OF WORKERS

10.5.1 Noise Noise will be regularly monitored at site against workplace monitoring requirement. All Workmen working in high noise areas will be provided with earplug, earmuff etc. where noise levels excess of 80 dbA.

10.5.2 Dusting Dusting will be main issue during mining and hence regular water sprinkling will be done.to reduce dust emission. Workmen will be provided with appropriate PPEs, like nose musk / nose respirator, gloves, helmets, protective uniform and clothing, eye protections etc. specially during sorting of bauxite manually.

10.5.3 Occupational Hazards specific Pre-Placement and Periodical Health Checkup As per policy and norms all of the workmen will put to medical examination and based on the medical report actions shall be taken.

10.5.4 Public Health Implications Dust generation due to mining activities is major issue, which can affect public health. In proposed scheme, mining will be done by semi-mechanized mining method. Hence, dust generation will be less. There is no permanent habitation within the mining area and surrounding areas except one school which is located ~220 m NE from site. However, as per air modeling results given in section 4.2.3, maximum concentration for particulate matter will be at ~ 200 m in south direction from mining site. Hence, there will not be much impact on public health. Moreover, water sprinkling will be done at regular interval will reduce dust generation considerably.

Stacking of mineral reject and disposal of waste In the proposed mining plan the waste likely to be generated in the form of associated clay with bauxite deposit, which is below threshold grade and has no sale value & can be treated as waste. The soil present in the proposed area will be excavated separately for the loosened soil, waste, the swelling factor considered is 1.3. The quantity of top soil, waste likely to be generated during plan period is summarized below:- Table 11-2: Year wise generation of Topsoil & Waste Year Top Soil Overburden Mineral Rejects/Waste (m3) (m3) 5% of ROM (m3) Reuse/spreading Storage Backfilling Storage Backfilling Storage 1st Year 857 Nil Nil Nil 750 Nil 2nd Year 857 Nil Nil Nil 750 Nil 3rd Year 1715 Nil Nil Nil 1500 Nil 4th Year 2000 Nil Nil Nil 1750 Nil 5th Year 3429 Nil Nil Nil 3000 Nil Total 8858 Nil Nil Nil 7750 Nil As per approved mining plan, it is proposed that the waste generated will be backfilled in south west part of mined out area simultaneously with mining and soil will be spread on backfilled area. As volume of mined out voids will be much more than volume of backfilling material, the problem for dumping of waste will not be there. The waste generated will be refilled into the matured voids. As volume of voids is much more than material available for backfilling. Backfilling of the entire mined out land upto original ground level will not be possible. Therefore west part of mined out area will be backfilled and other part of the mined out are will be used as water reservoir. In the water reservoir the higher benches of excavated mining pit shall be terraced and plantation will be done for stabilized the slope. As per approved mining Plan, Year wise generation of waste, formation of voids and backfilled area is summarized in Table 2-11.

 Salinity was observed in the range of 35470 to 38560 mg/L which is near to the expected value.  DO is an essential parameter which affects the biotic component of the water. Fish and other aquatic life take oxygen through the gill. DO levels affect the aerobic bacterial population as well as chlorophyllous Phytoplankton. During study period maximum DO level was recorded up to 5.7 mg/L during high tide which is as per expected value.  BOD is also an important parameter to define the environmental scenario of marine ecosystem as it affects the DO level. BOD was found <4 mg/L for all the samples.  Iron varies from 1.00 to 1.15 mg/L. Minimum value for Iron was recorded during High tide. Other Heavy metals were found well within the range.  Microbiological and biological analysis was also carried out for marine water sample where MPN value was found in the range of 35 to 56 No./100ml . E-coli and streptococci results were found below detection range. Based on the test result for the parameters DO and BOD it is interpreted that the Marine water quality is suitable for the survival of marine aquatic life as DO >4.0 mg/L and BOD value is below detection limit. Certain microbes survive at the DO level up to 0.8 mg/L and all biological marine organism can survive at the DO level >4 mg/L. Salinity has been found in the expected range. Iron content have been found more than the desired value and other heavy metal parameters have been found within the expected range. High concentration of Iron may be due to the sediment composition.

11.3.10 Ecology and Biodiversity Study area has 30% sea shore and 70% terrestrial. No any major forest observed in the study area, the wild life distribution is meagre. None of the sighted faunal species can be assigned endemic species category of the study area. Mining operation may affect the crop productivity of nearby area, as agriculture fields are very close to lease. An urgent need to protect agro-biodiversity of the area by using good practice in bauxite mining such as controlled wet blasting, 5m high boundry on periphery; regular water sprinkling and manual mining instead of Mechanized mining, plantation over benches, rainwater harvesting and its use in irrigation and restoration of mine pits. The effective plantation should be done in periphery i.e. 10 m wide in 3 tier green belt development.

11.3.11 Socio Economy

The summary of the social survey for the study area is provided as below:  Population and its distribution: There are 9 villages, with a total population of 33,361 persons.

Water Reservoir will be developed at end of the mine life. This water will be naturally recharge ground water and increase groundwater condition in the surrounding area.

11.4.4 Land Environment Land clearance will be done leading to removal of top soil, which will stack separately and will be again spread on top after back filling of the area. Plantation will be done on it. Mining activities will change topography. It will change for temporary during mining activities. Land reclamation will through back filling will be done concurrently. Water reservoir will be developed in remaining part of the mined out pits.

11.4.5 Biological Environment Removal of common site specific floral species from project site will not have significant or permanent impact on the habitat structure of associated faunal or floral diversity. Mining activities will generate noise, dusting and vibration but will be confined to mining lease only. It will considerably reduce due to mitigative measures like regular water sprinkling, use of certified equipment and use of PUC certified vehicles. At end of the mine life, plantation will be done on reclaimed area and development of water reservoir will generate additional habitants for flora and fauna.

Green Belt Development As per approved mining plan, 250 saplings will be planted covering 1250 m2 area during plan period. Backfilling area will be 3654 m2 as per mining plan. Thus, a total of 2404 m2 area become available on which additional plantation can be carried out. Around 96 additional saplings can be planted on that area per year, considering 5m2 area for each sapling. Total area under the statutory barrier is 16652 m2 on which about 3330 saplings can be planted up to the life of mine, considering 5 m2 area for each sapling. Life of Mine is estimated as 9 years. Therefore, about 370 saplings can be planted per year. Therefore, Total 516 saplings can be planted per year, it includes 50 as per mining plan proposal, 96 additional saplings on backfilled area and 370 additional saplings in statutory barrier.

11.4.6 Socio-Economic Environment The upcoming project will generate direct and indirect employment opportunities for local people.
