INTRODUCTION

1.1 GENESIS: The Gazette Notification vide G.S.R No. 329 (E) dated13th March, 1992 and subsequently renamed to ‘Environmental Statement’ vide Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change (MoEF & CC), Govt. of India gazette notification No. G.S.R No. 386 (E) Dtd.22nd April’93 reads as follows. “Every person carrying on an industry, operation or process requiring consent under section 25 of the Water Act, 1974 or under section 21 of the Air Act, 1981 or both or authorization under the Hazardous Waste Rules, 1989 issued under the Environmental Protection Act, 1986 shall submit an Environmental Audit Report for the year ending 31st March in Form V to the concerned State Pollution Control Board on or before the 30th day of September every year.” In compliance with the above, the work of Environmental Statement for Rajmahal Opencast Project was entrusted to CMPDI by GM (Environment & Forest), Eastern Coalfields Limited.

1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The mining technology for 17.0 MTY rated capacity is under implementation. As per the proposed technology, the parting between seam-II (bot) and seam-II (top) and the parting between seam-II (top) and seam-III is being extracted by 12m3-14m3 Hydraulic shovel where these are thin and by 10 m3 Rope shovel where the parting thickness exceeds 5 m in conjunction with 85T/100T rear dumper (coal body). 10 m3 Rope shovel later on will be replaced by 12m3-14m3 Hydraulic shovel. The balance consolidated OB and unconsolidated OB above seam-III will be mainly excavated by 20 m3 long reach / non-long reach rope shovels in conjunction with 170 T upgraded (190 T) electric wheel dumper. Hydraulic Backhoe will also be utilized for removal of OB/inter-burdens/bands.

Coal production is proposed to be done by 12-14 m3 hydraulic shovel and 5 Cu.m. Hyd. Backhoe with 85 T upgraded (100 Te) coal body dumpers. The coal dumpers will transport ROM coal to the in-pit crusher and from there coal will be transported to silos by conveyors. Efforts will be made to remove in-seam bands which are more than 1m thick by selective mining. For thin bands of less than 1m thick, dozing after light blasting by small drills (100 mm) provided in the P.R has been envisaged. Hydraulic backhoe has been provided in the P.R for loading of these bands as well as for excavating the thicker bands by selective mining. Wheel dozers have been provided for cleaning of coal seam roofs. Present depth of mine varies from 60 m to 155 m.

1.2.1 COMMUNICATION: The Rajmahal Opencast Project lies at a distance of about 30 km from on Godda-Pirpainti Road. Rajmahal opencast project lies at a distance of about 30 Km. from Godda on Godda Pirpainti Road. The project is under the administrative control of G.M,

Rajmahal Group of Mines of ECL. The nearest railway station is Pirpainti of E. Rly. at about 30 Km. North of the Block. The location map of the Rajmahal Opencast Project is given in Plate-I.

1.2.2 SALIENT FEATURES AS PER EMP: 1 Rated capacity per annum 17.0 MT 2 Total Block Area 1978 Ha 3 Forest land required 107.39 Ha 4 Mineable reserve 300.47 MT 5 Life of mine 20 Years 6 Average stripping ratio for first 20 years 1.885 cum/te

1.3 ENVIRONMENTAL SCENARIO: The Environmental monitoring was carried out quarterly as per guidelines of Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change (MoEF & CC) by CMPDI, RI-I starting from Q/E June’1995. Accordingly, ambient air quality was monitored at four stations including Railway Siding. Water quality was monitored according to effluent discharge. Noise levels were recorded at four locations. The environmental monitoring results for four quarters ending March’2016 are appended as Annexure- I & II. The environmental monitoring results for the year 2015-2016 can be concluded as given below:

AMBIENT AIR QUALITY The SPM concentration was found in the range of 120.8 to 291.2 µg/m3. The 3 PM10 concentration was found in the range of 65.9 to 152.6 µg/m and the limit was exceeded on twelve occasions as per NAAQS, 2009 standards. The 3 PM2.5 concentration was found in the range of 24.8 to 35.1 µg/m . The SO2 3 concentration remained less than 10.0 µg/m and NOX concentration was in the range of 12.7 to 24.7 µg/m3.

WATER QUALITY Ground water percolates into working area from the surrounding aquifers which have been exposed due to opencast mining. The mine is dewatered regularly to maintain dry working conditions. This mine discharge water is partly utilized for dust suppression by sprinkling at coal faces and on haul roads. Part-B of the Environmental Statement proforma contains the detailed break-up of water consumption. The analysis results reveal that most of the parameters are below permissible limits prescribed in Indian drinking water standard (IS-10500) & Effluent water MoEF & CC Schedule VI Standard. Mine water, drinking water and ground water analysis results are given in Annexure-II. Ground water level are given in Annexure-III.

NOISE LEVEL The noise level was found in the range of 46.2 to 58.2 dB(A). The noise level recorded is below permissible limit prescribed by Ministry of Environment and Forest.
