ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN
1.1 For Water Environment
There is no water regime near to this mine. The water regime is Savitri River which is far away to have any impact. Surface water is in the form of seasonal rain fall. It takes normal course and flows out of the area along natural slope. No impact on surface or ground water is expected as no chemical processing is involved.
1.2 For Air Environment
The proposed mining operations are mechanized and shall be done through deployment of mining machineries. The dust from the haul roads and drilling is expected to pollute the air to some extent. However, considering the production and nature of proposed mining operations particulate matter level will not be more than the permissible limit.
However, on the haulage road water will be sprinkled to minimize the raising of dust in the area.
Further, for minimizing dust generation during drilling & blasting and loading following measures are proposed:
Development of 7.5 m wide green belt with tall growing trees and thick foliage cover along mine lease boundary to arrest dust. Proper care in regard to quantity of explosives will be taken. Water spraying at the loading and unloading points to reduce fugitive dust emissions. Adequate water spraying on the haul roads will be done to suppress dust. Mineral transportation will be carried out by trucks covered by tarpaulins. Plantation will be carried out on mined out areas. Dust masks will be provided to persons employed in dusty areas. Overloading and over speeding of trucks will be prohibited. Regular & periodic maintenance of deployed machineries will be carried out to reduce smoke emission.
