CHAPTER - I INTRODUCTION
Mining, Environment and development have become complimentary to each other. As a result of developmental activities visible ill-effects of the environmental degradation are clear and give signals of the concern. Therefore a sustainable development of the area involving extraction of mineral wealth vis-à-vis protection of environment is the ultimate solution for betterment of mankind.
1.1 PURPOSE OF REPORT The Environmental Impact Assessment has been prepared to assess the current environmental scenario of the area and then based on the activities of mining proposed, to carry out Environmental Management Plan. The plan will identify and address the impacts, where these are adverse in nature, and thereafter design mitigative measures to manage such impacts in a manner as to conserve environment and ecology of the area. The EMP has been prepared with a view to ultimately ensure that the adverse impacts are minimized if these cannot be prevented altogether.
Environmental clearance is a statutory requirement for the new and old establishment of any mining project of which EIA has to be prepared and submitted to respective agencies of state and central Govt. level in line with EIA Notification.
As per EIA Notification Dated 14th Sept. 2006, Environmental Clearance is required at the time of fresh grant of mining area & enhancement of production where. This project fall under category “A”, project, area is above 50 hect, therefore this project requires Environment clearance from MOEF New Delhi.

River Banganga
River Banganga originates in the Aravali hills, near Arnasar and Bairath in Jaipur District. It flows towards the south up to the village of Ghat, then east through partly hilly and partly plain terrain. The total length of the river is 240 km. The main tributaries are Gumti Nalah and Suri River, joining the river on its right bank, and Sanwan and Palasan Rivers, meeting the river on its left bank. The main tributaries are Gumti Nalah and Suri River, joining the river on its right bank, and Sanwan and Palasan Rivers, meeting the river on its left bank.
The applied lease area bounded by Lat 260 55’ E – 270 00 E and Longitudes 730 13’ N – 760 28’ N is a fluvial deposit of River Banganga. The river itself shows low sinuosity and its drainage is structurally controlled by the Quartzite’s underlying the thin veneer of Quaternary Alluvium. As the Provenance of the River consists of Sandstone and Quartzite’s, different grades of sands are available in the same river ranging from Ordinary sand to Silica Sand in some parts.
The beds show incised meanders where the seasonal water flow cuts through its own channels. The width of the river varies and attains highest width of 900 meters near Chainpura and Jasota Villages. The Average width of the river between the banks in this stretch is about 400 meters.

2.12 METHOD OF MINING The method of mining proposed is by open cast manual method system of working. The bench height would not be kept greater than the statutory provisions of the prevailing Act i.e. Mine Act 1952 & RMMCR 1986. The width of the benches would in no case be less than the height of the bench. Benches of 3m height have been planned with width more than height of the bench. The mining will be started from edge of the mineralized area. The Required Barrier along the applied Mining lease boundary shall be kept 7.5 m. as shown in the Plate (3, 4 & 5). There will be only one bench of 3 mtr height and in no way will be allowed to excavate more than 3 mtr height from top of the mineral body. Mining activity will not be carried within 45 mtr from the bridges, roads, ani- cuts and similar permanent structures. Mining activity will be carried in block as shown in the year wise development Plan.
Bajri/River sand mining includes direct loading from the face to the stack yard. Loading of Bajri will be done manually into tractor trolley. From the stockyard Sand / Bajri will be loaded by excavator cum loader into Dumpers and sent to the end users. No mineral beneficiation will be carried out at the site.

2.13 REPLINISHMENT OF THE AREA The rotational mining shall be adopted to facilitate the replenishment of the excavated pits during rainy season. Thus the mineable area has been divided in two blocks i.e. the upstream block and the downstream block. The Mining of these two blocks is suggested on rotation basis in such a way that pit of previous year mining will act as depository for the monsoon season. Sand is extracted from the said lot during one year; more than the extracted quantity of the same are automatically replenished by rainfall in the monsoon by the river/ nallah itself on account of its flow and velocity. Sedimentation, in the geological sciences, is a process of deposition of a solid material from a state of suspension or solution in a fluid (usually air or water). Broadly defined it also includes deposits from glacial ice and those materials collected under the impetus of gravity alone, as in talus deposits, or accumulations of rock debris at the base of cliffs. The term is commonly used as a synonym for sedimentary petrology and sedimentology.
Sedimentation is generally considered by geologists in terms of the textures, structures, and fossil content of the deposits lay down in different geographic and geomorphic environments.
The factors which affects the “Computation of Sediment”:
a) Geomorphology & Drainage Pattern : The following geomorphic units plays important role :
Structural Plain
Structural Hill
Structural Ridge
Denudation Ridge & Valley

Km of River d) Rainfall & Climate : Year wise Rainfall data for previous 10 years of Basin/River e) As per Dendy & Bolton study “Sediment Yield” can be related to
i) Catchment Area and
ii) Mean Annual Run-off
Sand is an essential minor mineral used extensively across the country as a useful construction constituent and variety of other uses in sports, agriculture, glass making (a form of sand with high silica content) etc. It is common knowledge that minerals are non-renewable but this form of mineral naturally gets replenished from time to time in a given river system and is very much interrelated to the hydrological cycle in a river basin.
Banganga River Basin is located in the northeastern part of Rajasthan, between latitudes 26o40' and 27o37' and longitudes 75o49' and 77o39'. It lies between the Gambhir and Banas Basins to its south-southwest, Ruparail and Sabi to its north, and the Shekhawati Basin to its west. Its eastern edge borders the Yamuna River Basin in Uttar Pradesh.
Banganga River Basin extends over parts of Alwar, Jaipur, Dausa, Sawai Madhopur and Bharatpur Districts.
The total catchment area of the Basin is 8,878 km2 according to 1:250,000 scale topographical maps published by the Survey of India.
Orographically, the western part of the Basin is marked by hilly terrain belonging to the Aravali chain, with fairly flat valleys along the Applicant – Narottam Singh Jadaun River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri)
53 Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.
Banganga River and its tributaries. East of the Todabhim - Mandawar chain of hills lies an extensive alluvial plain which gently slopes eastwards, towards the Yamuna River in Uttar Pradesh. The northeastern part of the area is also rather flat, interspersed with moderately elevated hills.
The main urban agglomeration in Banganga River Basin is Bharatpur city situated at the eastern edge of the Basin. The second largest urban centre is Dausa.
River Banganga originates in the Aravali hills, near Arnasar and Bairath in Jaipur District. It flows towards the south up to the village of Ghat, then east through partly hilly and partly plain terrain. The total length of the river is 240 km. The main tributaries are Gumti Nalah and Suri River, joining the river on its right bank, and Sanwan and Palasan Rivers, meeting the river on its left bank. The main tributaries are Gumti Nalah and Suri River, joining the river on its right bank, and Sanwan and Palasan Rivers, meeting the river on its left bank.
The applied lease area bounded by Lat 260 55’ E – 270 00 E and Longitudes 730 13’ N – 760 28’ N is a fluvial deposit of River Banganga. The river itself shows low sinuosity and its drainage is structurally controlled by the Quartzite’s underlying the thin veneer of Quaternary Alluvium. As the Provenance of the River consists of Sandstone and Quartzite’s, different grades of sands are available in the same river ranging from Ordinary sand to Silica Sand in some parts.
The beds show incised meanders where the seasonal water flow cuts through its own channels. The width of the river varies and attains highest width of 900 meters near Chainpura and Jasota Villages. The Average width of the river between the banks in this stretch is about 400 meters.
The present deposit of the applied lease area along the river Banganga and their tributaries is one time deposit. These rivers are seasonal with
Applicant – Narottam Singh Jadaun River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri)
54 Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.
meagre flow of water even during rainy season. During rainy season also in recent years no continuous flow of water has been observed. The deposit which is proposed to be mined during next five years took place in the years 1973-74. During that year the area witnessed very heavy rainfall approximately 657.7 mm, (highest daily rainfall in 1973 was 67.0 mm on 17, July, 55.0 mm on 08, August and 42.0 mm on 28, August,) With the normal rainfall of 548.2 mm in the region. With the mining of sand and Bajri there is possibility of re-establishment of the drainage pattern of the area.
Replenishment Study of the area: - A. Dandy & Bolton formula for calculation of Sediment Yield: Dandy Bolton formula is often used to check whether the sedimentation yield exceeds the replenishment rate but the whole question is whether there is adequate monitoring of the river basin, the answer is no as hydrological stations are sparsely spread. The formula uses catchment area and mean annual runoff as key determinants to give a yield value. It does not differentiate in basin wide smaller streams and their characteristics. CWC distinguishes river basins as classified and non- classified, as per the latest hydrological data for unclassified River basins; there are 122 GDSW (Gauge, Discharge, Sediment & Water Quality) sites in 12 such basins, the number was 147 in 2005. This brings in context the whole issue of scientific mining, thereby indicating that the monitoring of sediment yield in rivers / streams within the river basins is essential to arrive at extraction rates and express and conduct environmental studies based on these basin wide characteristics which should become part of the ‘Terms of Reference’.
B. Sediment Yield versus Drainage Area
Dandy and Bolton studied sedimentation data from about 1500 reservoirs, ponds, and sediment detention basins. In developing their formulas, they used data from about 800 of these reservoirs with drainage areas greater than or equal to 1 mi2. The smaller watersheds-

55 Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.
those of drainage area less than 1 mi2-were excluded because of their large variability of sediments yield, reflecting the diverse effects of soils, local terrain, vegetation, land use, and agricultural practices.
For drainage areas between 1 and 30,000 mi2,Dandy and Bolton found that the annual sediment yield per unit area was inversely related to the 0.16 power of the drainage area: In which S= sediment yield in tons per square mile per year; SR = Reference sediment yield corresponding to a 1-mi2 drainage area, equal to 1645 tons per year; A = drainage area in square miles; and AR = reference drainage area (1 mi2).
C. Sediments Yield versus Mean Annual Runoff
Dandy and Bolton studied sedimentation data from 505 reservoirs having mean annual runoff data. Annual sediment yield per unit area was shown to increase sharply as mean annual runoff Q in- creased from 0 to 2 in. Thereafter, for mean annual runoff from 2 to 50 in. annual sediment yield per unit area decreased exponentially.
This led to the following equations.
For Q <2 in.: For Q >2 in.: In which QR = reference mean annual runoff QR = 2 in.
Dandy and Bolton combined Eqs. 15-10 and 15-11 into a set of equations to express sediment yield in terms of drainage area and mean annual runoff.
For Q <2 in.:
For Q >2 in.:
Sec: 15.2 Sediment Productions.
For SR = 1645 tons/mi2/y, QR = 2 in., and AR = 1 mi2, Eq. 15-12 reduces to the followings:
For Q <2 in.: S = 1280 Q0.46 (1.43 – 0.26 log A)
For Q >2 in.: S = 1965e-0.055Q (1.43 – 0.26 log A) Applicant – Narottam Singh Jadaun River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri)

Equations 5-12 and 5-13 are based on average values of grouped data; therefore, they should be used with caution. In Certain cases, local factors such as soils, geology, topography, land use, and vegetation may have greater influence on sediment yield than either mean annual runoff or drainage area. Nevertheless, these equations provide a first approximation to be regional assessment of sediment yield for watershed planning purposes.
Calculation of Sediment Yield Applied lease area (under river bed) – 2031.98 ha. Proposed working area in operational phase: 380.0 ha. Proposed production: 16, 80,000 TPA of Sand. Drainage basin area of river Banganga – 8,878 Km2. Normal Annual Rainfall of Dausa District: 21.58 inch. With above inputs, the calculation of the sediment yield by the Dandy and Bolton formula is illustrated below: TABLE 2.8: REPLENISHMENT CALCULATION OF APPLIED LEASE AREA
Q A S (Sediment yield) River (Mean annual (catchment Area in (tons/year) rainfall in inches) km2) Banganga River 21.58 8,878 1887327.38
With above formula the value of S about 1887327.38 tons/year.
Sediment yield of a sediment basin has direct impact of local terrain, climate, vegetation, soils, agricultural practices & land use pattern of catchment area of the sediment basin aforesaid factors varies from basin to basin therefore, Dendy & Bolton has category stated that use of the equation to predict sediment yield for a specific location would be unwise because of the wide variability caused by local factors not considered in the equation development. Actual sediment yield form individual drainage basins may vary 10-fold or even 100-fold from computed yields.

3.5 PHYSIOGRAPHY
3.5.1 Relief
The topography of the applied area is mainly plain land marked with shallow nalla and undulations. The higher elevation point is 451 mRL and lower elevation point is 290 mRL.
3.5.2 Drainage:
Drainage pattern of the area is dendritic. The applied lease area part of the Ban Ganga River & its connected flow nallahs. The seasonal river Banganga flows through the district in NW- SE direction.
Bajri mining will be carried out in the river bed and during the rainy season operations will be discontinued. All the surface water shall be flowing towards North –West to south-East direction. The proposed Mining will start from above surface level, so there will be no effect on ground water table. The general ground water table in the area varies from 30- 35 mtr below ground water table.
Therefore, ground water table will not be touched due to mining operations. There will be no drainage of water to mine workings. Pumping shall be not done.

3.6 REPLISHMENT OF THE AREA The rotational mining shall be adopted to facilitate the replenishment of the excavated pits during rainy season. Thus the mineable area has been divided in two blocks i.e. the upstream block and the downstream block. The Mining of these two blocks is suggested on rotation basis in such a way that pit of previous year mining will act as depository for the post monsoon season. Minor minerals are extracted from the said lot during one year; more than the extracted quantity of the same are automatically replenished in monsoon season by the river/ nallah itself on account of its flow and velocity.

3.9 ATMOSPHERIC CONDITION
Atmospheric conditions include meteorological condition and ambient air quality of the study area. Meteorological conditions with respect to wind velocity and direction in the study area was determined by IMD station Jaipur. The required data for interpretation the ambient air quality of the study area was generated by establishing a monitoring network. Regular field observations as per the norms of MoEF and CPCB were taken from the established monitoring stations.
3.9.1 Meteorology
Introduction
Meteorological factors such as wind speed; direction, variation in temperature, humidity etc. play a direct role in dispersion of pollutants & atmospheric pressure, rainfall and cloud cover also govern this activity. Other factors such as terrain and local topography also take part in atmospheric dispersion. Meteorology plays a vital role in affecting the dispersion of pollutants. Since meteorological factors show wide fluctuations with time, meaningful interpretation can be drawn only from long term reliable data. Such source of data is the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), which maintains a network of meteorological stations at several important locations. The nearest IMD stations Jaipur, which is about 62.5 km from the Tehsil & District Headquarter (Dausa). Meteorological information available for this station is temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed and wind direction.
Meteorological Data’s from IMD Jaipur

3.9.2 Wind Rose
Wind speed of a site plays a vital role in predicting the extent of air pollution. It gives a clear view about the extent to which air pollutants are carried before they touch the ground. Wind rose is diagrammatic representation of wind speed in a specified direction with its arms representing sixteen directions; each arm gives a clear frequency distribution of wind speed.
Wind roses are generated with the site meteorological information’s initially collected. These raw data are processed with certain interpolation and stability classes and joint frequency function are developed to eventually reach to the development of wind roses.

3.11 NOISE & TRAFFIC ENVIRONMENT Mining and allied activities are usually noise- prone activities. Excessive noise levels may cause adverse effects on human being and its associated environment including domestic animals, wild life, natural ecosystem and structure.
The noise problem is said to exist when the sound level in the air causes interference in human activities such as disturbance in sleep, work and speech communication leading to annoyance. Perception of noise by individuals varies depending on number of factors such as natural sensitivity / hearing ability, level of exposure, time of the day, socio-cultural activities etc. at the time of exposure to sound. The impact of noise at community level can have different effects varying from aesthetic impairment such as annoyance, frequent hypertension to as high as loss of hearing. The health impact of noise on individual depends on several factors, viz. physical dose (intensity of sound pressure level and duration of exposure), frequency spectrum, intermittency etc. as well as human factors like sex, age, health condition, occupational exposure etc. The background noise levels within the mine and around it were recorded using sound meter to establish the existing scenario.

3.11.1 Monitoring Methodology of Noise Level Noise standards have been designated for different types of land use, i.e. residential, commercial, industrial and silence zones, as per ‘The Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000, Notified by the Ministry of Environment and Forests, New Delhi on February 14, 2000’. Different standards have been stipulated during day time and night time.
The noise analysis within the study area was recorded using 4-20, sound level meter. The analysis reveals that the noise levels are well within the permissible range.
The noise rating method as Leq i.e. equivalent sound pressure level has been adopted for the measurement of noise level in various selected sampling locations of this region. It is the energy means of the noise level over a specified period and is expressed in terms of decibels. Methodology for monitoring of noise levels is given in below table.

3.11.4 Traffic density Traffic density measurements were performed at different villages which are coming in the transportation route of material & join the NH/SH. The monitoring was performed in Jan., 2014.
Traffic density measurement were made 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 skilled 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. The results of measurements are given in the summery in below table.

Faunal Investigation Mammals Faunal assessment provides a basis for determining relative abundance and rarity of each species which is important for assessing the diversity of fauna of a particular area. Since animals are capable of movements from one place to another, this makes their study entirely different. Different animals prefer different types of habitat for food and shelter.
The study area is dominated by agriculture fields. The vegetation structure in the study area does not support higher mammalian species. Other than domesticated cows and dogs species like three striped palm squirrel (Funambulus palmarum), Hanuman langur (Semnopithecus entellus) and Indian gray mongoose (Herpestes edwardsi) were observed in the study area. During field investigation with the help of tracks and signs, it was noted that species like Indian field rat (Rattus rattus), Nilgai or Blue bull (Boselaphus tragocamelus) and Indian wild boar (Sus scrofa) are present in the study area.
During public consultation it was documented that species like Cheetal (Axis axis), Indian Hare (Lepus nigricollis), Jungle cat (Felis chaus) and Striped Hyena (Hyaena hyaena) are occasionally observed in the study area. List of Mammals, Reptiles and Amphibians recorded in the study area of proposed project site is presented in below table.

Avifauna Diversity of avifauna is one of the most important ecological indicators to evaluate the quality of habitats. Now-a-days, avifaunal diversity has been decreasing due to the destruction of natural habitats and human disturbances. Random destruction of natural habitats by cutting nesting trees and foraging plants for commercial use of woods and lands are the main factor responsible for narrow down in avian foraging habitat and their nesting sites. Thus, many species of birds may be forced to inhabit in the urban areas and constrain them to breed there. Birds are essential animal group of an ecosystem and maintain a trophic level. Therefore, detail study on avifauna and their ecology is important to protect them.
The applied lease area is having very few plant species and not an ideal habitat for bird species. Very few birds were observed in the study area. Different species were observed during field survey are Indian myna (Acridotheres tristis), House crow (Corvus splendens), Blue rock pigeon (Columba livia), Indian robbin (Saxicoloides fulicatus), Red vented bulbul (Pycnonotus cafer), Black drongo (Dicrurus macrocercus), House sparrow Applicant – Narottam Singh Jadaun River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 127

Greenbelt Development As per the clause of 33% of total land area should developed as part of green belt, it is recommended that plantation should be done along the peripheral areas and open spaces in the buffer zone of the proposed project site. This will help to reduce the noise pollution; dust spread and also enhances the aesthetic value around the project site.
It is proposed to carry out afforestation over 130 hectares of virgin land in the area by the end of lease period. This includes afforestation along statutory barrier also. Plantation will be done at the rate of 1000 saplings per hectare. In the ensuing five year it is proposed to plant over 130 hectares area with 130000 saplings.
The expected rate survival is assumed at 80%. To improve the survival rate in the adverse climate condition necessary consultation would be taken from the Forest department. Proposed plantation area shall be fenced properly for improving the survival rate. Plantation will be carried out in the applied lease area in phased manner.
Criteria for selection of species for greenbelt The plant species suitable for greenbelt development need to be selected based on the following criteria: Fast growing Thick canopy cover Perennial and evergreen Large leaf area index High sink potential
Applicant – Narottam Singh Jadaun River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 133
Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.
Guidelines for plantation The plant species identified for greenbelt development should be planted using dug-pit technique. The pit size should be in between 45 cm x 45 cm x 45 cm to 60 cm x 60 cm x 60 cm depending on the soil quality. Soil proposed to be used for filling the pit should be mixed with well decomposed farm yard manure or sewage sludge at the rate of 3.6 kg (on dry weight basis).The filling of soils should be completed at least 5-10 days before the actual plantation. Healthy seedlings of identified species should be planted in each pit. Proper density of plants (no. per hectare) should be maintained within the greenbelt.
The minimum distance between two plantations should be dependent on the choice of species and compatibility of different species to grow together. The distance should be in between 2.5m to 5m for plantation in greenbelt.
Roadside plantation Minimum of two rows of plants are required for plantation on roadside to minimize the pollution effects. While planting, care should be taken to ensure that plants in second row fall in between the two plants of first row.
Selection of plant species Keeping in view the climatic condition status of soil (Agro climatic zone) and vegetation types the following plant species are suitable for plantation for the proposed project site. Plant species for green belt development are given in below table.

Collection — data collection Present Findings — usually involves some form of sorting analysis and/or presentation
Main types of data collection include census, sample survey, and administrative by-product and each with their respective advantages and disadvantages. A census refers to data collection about everyone or everything in a group or population and has advantages, such as accuracy and detail and disadvantages, such as cost and time.
Types of Data The data needed for a social science research may be broadly classified into Data pertaining to human beings, Data relating to organization Data pertaining to territorial
Field Survey and Observations Field research involves the collection of primary data or information that is new. This is collected through surveys and questionnaires that are made out specifically for a purpose Observations can be conducted on nearly any subject matter and the kinds of observations will do depend on survey question. Field Survey and Observations were made at each sampling village and the quality of life of that region is studied. Visits were made at hospitals, primary health centers and sub-centers to know the health status of the region. Various governmental organizations such as statistical department, department of census operations are visited to collect the population details of that region.
Interview Method Interview is verbal questioning. Surveys are also conducted through interviews. Interviews consist of asking questions, listening to individuals and recording their responses. At times, you may find it more profitable to ask questions to a few individuals instead of carrying out a large-scale questionnaire based survey. The interview can be done very informally, e.g. as conversations with Applicant – Narottam Singh Jadun River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 172
Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd. people met in the fields, co-operative stores or block offices. In these settings, one question leads to the next based on. The responses given to the previous one. At the other end of the scale, highly structured interviews often rely on questionnaires or interview schedules with mostly closed-ended questions that allow the respondents only a limited range of possible answers. Structured interview method is used to collect data regarding the awareness and opinion from the sample selected of the various socio- economic sections of the community. The questionnaire mainly highlights the parameters of primary needs.
The interview method has the advantage that almost all perfect sample of the general population can be reached and respond to the approach. Interview method helps to collect more correct and accurate information as the interviewer is present during the field survey.
Socio-economic survey was conducted in thirteen villages within the study area located in all directions with reference to the project site.
The respondents were asked for their awareness/opinion about the project and their opinion about the impacts of the project, which is an important aspect of socio-economic environment, viz. job opportunities, education, health care, transportation facility and economic status.
The salient observations recorded during survey in the study area: According to survey done in the study area, survey observation as per below: In the study area main occupation of villagers is agricultural work, labour work and small business Most of the houses are in pakka form. Roads are well connected with district place Farmers are depend on mainly monsoon for agricultural activity Communication facility is good with mobile network and transportation facility All villages are well electrified and used for all purposes Applicant – Narottam Singh Jadun River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 173

Main language in study area is Rajasthani as well as Hindi is widely spoken by population. Mainly LPG is used by villagers for cooking purpose. Other sources are wood, kerosene etc.
3.16.4.2 Awareness and Opinion Awareness is the state or ability to perceive, to feel, or to be conscious of events, objects or sensory patterns. In this level of consciousness, sense data can be confirmed by an observer without necessarily implying understanding. In general, an opinion is a subjective belief, and is the result of emotion or interpretation of facts. An opinion may be supported by an argument, although people may draw opposing opinions from the same set of facts. For assessing the awareness and opinion about the project activity socio-economic survey was conducted in the sampling villages. The salient observations drawn through survey are described below: The respondents from almost all the villages are aware about the project activity. Some of the respondents have very good opinion about the project and they opined that due to proposed project activity, quality of life of the villages will improve. Respondent have suggested minimizing the environmental pollution during and after project activity.

CHAPTER – IV ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMRNTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES
4.1 INTRODUCTION Any human activity in any environment produces impact, modifying it to a status which is considered adverse of beneficial according to the damage or improvement it brings about in physical, chemical and biological status of air, water, land including biota and in socio-cultural life styles and economy of the populace it affects. Depending on the nature of activities and existing status, the impacts are assessed for their importance. On the basis of the impact analysis, the mitigating action and future monitoring requirement are focused in the Environmental Management Plan for counting or minimizing adverse impacts.
Effects of this mining project on each of the environmental parameters are detailed below in accordance with the parameter of environment likely to be affected. - Topography & Drainage - Climate - Air environment - Land environment - Ecology - Water environment - Noise levels - Soil - Socio-economic environment - Cultural and Heritage environment
Applicant – Narottam Singh Jadun River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 175
Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.
Generally, the environmental impacts can be categorized as either primary or secondary. Primary impacts are those which can be attributed directly to the project. On the indirect or induced and typically include the associated investments and change patterns of social and economic by the proposed actions.
4.2 IMPACT ON TOPOGRAPHY & DRAINAGE
4.2.1 Impact on topography & drainage Topography of the surrounding area will remain unchanged. No change in topography of applied mining area, because due to removal of sand, temporary pits will be generated and it will be replenished during the monsoon. 4.2.2 Drainage Drainage pattern of the area is dendritic. The applied lease area is part of Banganga River & its connected flow nallahs. The drainage pattern of the applied lease area is from east to west direction. Systematic mining i.e. removal/ collection of sand will be done as per approved mining plan.
Mitigation Measures
Mining will be done in a planned way i.e. collection of minerals/working shall be started from the center dip to rise and then laterally in 3 meter slice so that the river course will not get affected.
The mine working will remain confined to river bed lot only and in no case disturbing any surface area outside which may affect topography or drainage.
Unwanted material including mineral or spillage (if any) will not be stacked on the bank side as it will hinder the flow of water in monsoon season.
The mining from river bed will not have any impact on natural drainage of surrounding area as the excavated Bajri from river bed is filled with first heavy flow in river during monsoon season.

4.3 IMPACTS ON CLIMATE
4.3.1 Temperature
The temperature pattern is a regional behavior and is not likely to be affected by the river bed mining activity over a small area. Some local effect may be perceived due to mining, afforestation and creation of voids in the applied area.
4.3.2 Rainfall
The trend of rainfall, as studied and discussed in last chapter, forms part of a regional pattern, not dependent on the relatively small area of river bed mining activity. The mining operation, therefore, is not likely to have any adverse impact on rainfall pattern.
4.3.3 Wind Speed
The wind speed in any area is dependent upon local topography and generation of elevation and depression of pressure changes in the region. The controlling factors for the pressure changes lie much beyond the control of small area under mining operations. Thus, no adverse impact on the regional wind speed is anticipated due to the mining operations. However, some local ground level changes may take place due to the temporary infrastructure, green belt developed around the mine, etc.
4.3.4 Humidity
The pattern of relative humidity depends mainly on the rainfall, wind, temperature and other weather phenomenon that regional in behavior. The mining operation is not likely to have any impact on the relative humidity in the surrounding.

4.4 IMPACT ON AIR ENVIRONMENT
4.4.1 Impact through Mathematical Modeling for Sand Mining Project As explained in the previous chapter, the ambient air quality monitoring
results show that all the parameters such as PM10, SO2, and NOx are within the limits prescribed by CPCB for “Industrial and Mixed use” areas as well as areas meant for “Residential and Rural” areas.
The major contribution of air pollution by river bed mining will be due to excavation, loading, transportation, and handling of material. This will lead to
momentary rise in the particulate matter (PM10). The dust liberated in mining and other related operations is injurious to heath if inhaled in sufficient quantity. As such there will be no noticeable impact on air quality.
4.4.2 Air Pollution Modeling
The impact of the proposed mining operations on the air quality has been predicated using Fugitive Dust Model (FDM), which is a computerized air quality model specifically designed for computing concentration and deposition impacts from fugitive dust sources. The sources may be point, line or area sources. The model has not been designed to compute the impacts of buoyant point sources, thus it contains no plume rise logarithm. The model is generally based on the well-known Gaussian Plume formulation for computing concentrations, but the model has been specifically adapted to incorporate an improved gradient transfer deposition algorithm. Emissions for each source are apportioned by the user into a series of particle size classes. A gravitational setting velocity and a deposition velocity are calculated by FDM for each class.
4.4.3 Pollutants / Model Options Considered for Computations
The model simulations deal with major Pollution Particulate Matter (PM10)
and gaseous emissions viz. SO2 & NO2.

4.4.4 Meteorological Data
Data recorded by continuous weather monitoring station on wind speed, direction, and temperature at one hour interval for the monitoring period was used as meteorological input.
4.4.5 Presentation of result
In the present case model simulations have been carried using the hourly triple joint frequency data. Short – term simulations were carried to estimate concentration at the receptors to obtain an optimum description of variations in concentrations over the site in 10-km radius covering 16 directions.
The incremental concentration is estimated for the monitoring period. For each time scale, i.e. for 24 hr. the model computes the highest concentration observed during the period over all the measurement points.
Dust emission rate from the applied mining area, based on the following empirical formula.
a) Dust emission due to excavation:
Pa x 23.6 Dust emission (DE) = ------Wd x Wh x 1000 DE = Dust emission in kg/hr Pa = Annual Excavation in Tonnes Wd = No. of days of operation in a year Wh = Effective working hrs. in a day
About 23.6 Quantity of dust emitted in kg/hr. for 1000 tonnes of excavation.
Applicant – Narottam Singh Jadun River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 179
Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.
Dust emission rate of proposed blocks are given in below table.
S. Area Production Dust Block No. (Hectare) (TPA) emission rate 1 Bapi Mining Block 99.35 5,00,598 5.274 2 Mahesra Kalan Mining Block 141.60 8,14,968 8.586 3 Jopara Mining Block 139.05 3,65,190 3.847
The above mentioned emission rate is without adoption of dust control measures. The literature suggests that dust control measures reduce the emissions and effective emission rate will be one third of the computed emission. Accordingly emission rate to be used in the modeling will be 1.758 kg/hr. (5.274 /3) for 1st block, 2.862 Kg/hr. (8.586/3) for 2nd block & 1.282 Kg/hr. (3.847/3) for 3rd block.
Mine Dimensions The mine dimensions are as follows: Applied Area = 2031.98 hectare
Meteorological Data On site hourly meteorological data for winter season (Dec 2013 to Feb. 2014) in respect of wind speed, wind direction, temperature and cloud amount are utilized in this study. The data was put in model format. The mixing heights have been extracted from CPCB publications.
Modeling Procedure Methodology: Prediction of ground level concentrations (GLC’S) due to mining have been made by Industrial Source Complex, Short Term (ISCST3) as per CPCB guidelines. ISCST3 is US-EPA approved model to predict the air quality. The model uses rural dispersion and regulatory defaults options as per guidelines on air quality models (PROBES/70/1997-1998). The model assumes receptors on undulating and hilly. This model is capable of handling point, area, and line sources simultaneously.

Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.
Meteorological inputs required are hourly wind speed and direction ambient temperature, stability class, mixing height and wind exponents. The model details follow.
Gaussian Plume Model Ground Level Concentration, from a point source at any receptor under unlimited mixing is given by (USEPA ISCST3, 1987).
Qg1g2 = (2 y zu) Where, g1 = exp(-y2/2y2) g2 = exp[-(z-H)2/2z2] + exp[-(z+H)2/2z2]
In unstable or neutral conditions if z > 1.6 L (limited mixing) the distribution below the mixing height is uniform with height provided that both the effective height H, and the receptor height z are below the mixing height
Qg1 = In unstable(yLu 2 case ) or neutral conditions when z < 1.6 L
Qg1 = (2 y zu)
Where, Q = source strength Z = receptor height above the ground u = wind speed L = mixing height and y &z = dispersion parameters g3 = exp[-(z-H+2NL)2/2z2] + exp[-(z+H+2NL)2/2z2] Evaluation with N the number of reflections, varying from –4 to +4 is usually sufficient
Stability Classification Hourly stability is determined by wind direction fluctuation method as suggested by Slade (1965)and recommended by CPCB (PROBES/70/1997-1998).

= Wdr/6
, is standard deviation of wind direction fluctuation, Wdr is the overall wind direction fluctuation or width of the wind direction in degrees. The table for stability classes is given as under.
Stability Class (degree) A > 22.5 B 22.4 – 17.5 C 17.4 – 12.5 D 12.4 – 7.5 E 7.4 – 3.5 F < 3.5
Dispersion Parameters
Dispersion parameters y and z for open country conditions (Briggs, 1974) are used as the project is located on a flat terrain in a rural area. Atmospheric dispersion coefficients vary with downwind distance (x) from emission sources for different atmospheric stability conditions. (CPCB – PROBES/70/1997-98).

Mitigation measures
To control the emissions regular preventive maintenance of equipment will be carried out on contractual basis.
Proper mitigation measures like water sprinkling will be adopted to control dust emissions.
Plantation will be carried out on approach roads & nearby vicinity of river bank.
It will be ensured that all transportation vehicles will carry a valid PUC certificate.
There is no toxic element present in the mineral which may contaminate the soil.
(a) During Drilling & Blasting No drilling & blasting is involved in this project. (b) During Transport Operations All the haul roads will be kept levelled, wide and compacted. Regular water spraying will be done on haul roads. In order to reduce dust pollution, green belt will be developed.
4.5 IMPACT ON NOISE LEVEL The exposures to excessive noise levels can lead to: Prevention of sleep, insomnia and fatigue. Decrease in speech reception, communication, distraction and diminished concentration thus adversely affecting job performance efficiency. Chronic psychological disturbance including impaired hearing. Irreparable cardiovascular, respiratory and neuralgic damages in certain extreme cases.
Applicant – Narottam Singh Jadun River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 189
Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.
The area in general represents calm surroundings. There is no heavy traffic, industry or noisy habitation in the area of mine. With the increase in scale of mining operations, vehicles and peoples movements, noise levels are expected to increase. Mitigation Measures Periodical monitoring of noise levels will be done. No other equipment’s except the transportation vehicles will be allowed. Noise generated by these equipment’s shall be intermittent and does not cause much adverse impact. Proper maintenance of all equipment’s/ machines will be carried out which help in reducing noise during operations. Plantation will be taken up along the approach roads and vicinity of river bank. The plantation minimizes propagation of noise and also arrests dust.
4.6 IMPACT ON HYDROLOGICAL CONDITIONS The study area itself being part of River Ban Ganga & its tributaries course carries surface as well as ground water (under current). The flow of surface/ground water (sub surface flow) is following the trend of topography.
The area is part of river bed which remains dry for more than nine months in a year except for the rainy season. The Bajri will be collected/mined up to the depth of 3mt only which will have insignificant impact on water regime.
The ground water table which will be about 30 to 35m below the surface of river bed in the mining area during the dry seasons which will not be disturbed as ultimate working depth will be 3.0m. Thus the mine operation will not affect the hydrological conditions of the area. At the end of mining operations during rainy season, the flood waters would replenish the mined material, thus it will be a positive impact on the ground water scenario in the subsequent mining period.
Applicant – Narottam Singh Jadun River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 190
Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.
4.7 IMPACT ON WATER QUALITY Mining causes lowering of riverbed level as well as river bed water level resulting in lowering of groundwater table due to excessive extraction and draining out of groundwater from the adjacent areas, if general ground water table is higher than riverbed level. In case the general ground water level is lower than riverbed water level, then it will have positive impact as ground water table will be recharged vertically as well as laterally. The former case may cause shortage of water for the vegetation and human settlement in the vicinity, but in later case it will help improve situation.
The proposed project is for removal of sand from the river bed up to a depth of 3 meter only, which will not have any impact on the water quality.
River is recharging the ground water; excessive mining will reduce the thickness of the natural filter materials (sediments), infiltration through which the ground water is recharged, so restriction in depth becomes necessity.
Mitigation Measures Removal/collection of sand in the area will be done well above the water table as well as river bed water level therefore; much impact on water regime is not anticipated. The water table is at 30-35 m below river bed level while the workings in the area is proposed up to a maximum depth of 3m from river bed, so that water level will not be not touched.
No waste water will be generated from the mining activity of minor minerals as the project only involves lifting of Bajri from river bed.
4.8 IMPACT ON FLORA & FAUNA (Core & Buffer Zone) 4.8.1 Impacts As the mining activities will be confined to core zone only, no adverse impact is foreseen on the flora and fauna of buffer zone.
Applicant – Narottam Singh Jadun River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 191
Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.
The proposed project involves removal/collection of sand from river bed, construction of approach road, which will not have any impact on the flora and fauna of core zone. No forest land in the applied lease area. It is entirely a Govt. waste land. No impact on the flora and fauna is anticipated as removal/collection of sand will be done in the dry part of the proposed blocks of applied area. No endangered species found in the applied lease area.
4.8.2 Mitigation Measures Working will be done in such a way that it will not affect the flora and fauna. Plantation will be carried out on approach roads and nearby vicinity at river banks areas will, over a period of time, to upgrade the flora.
The impact on the fauna due to the removal/ collection of sand will be negligible. Working will be confined to core zone only by manual means and fauna in the core zone is minimal. Even so, by restricting mining at any time to small areas, impact on fauna will be kept to the minimum. However, progressive plantation activity being undertaken will over a period of time create conditions favorable for fauna.
4.9 IMPACT ON LAND ENVIRONMENT 4.9.1 Land Use in Buffer Zone No adverse impact is anticipated on land use of buffer zone due to the proposed mining operations, as all the related activities will be confined to the core zone only.
4.9.2 Impact on land use pattern including change of river course If the mining is not carried out in a systematic manner by leaving sufficient safety barriers from bank then it may disturb the river flow/course. Stacking of unwanted material including mineral or spillage (if any) on the bank side of the river will hinder the flow of water in monsoon season, raise water level upstream, which may lead to bank cutting or flouting.
Applicant – Narottam Singh Jadun River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 192
Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.
Deviation from planned mining procedures can lead to river channel shifting as well as degradation of surrounding land, causing loss of properties and degradation of landscape. Mining within a river bed may have some impact on the stream’s physical characteristics, such as channel geometry, bed elevation in stream roughness of the bed, flow velocity, discharge capacity, sediment transportation capacity etc. Alteration or modification of the above attributes may cause noticeable hazardous impact on ecological equilibrium of riverine regime.
Mitigation Measures Sand will be mined out in central position of stream and sufficient safety barrier say 10% of width will be left towards bank side. So that the river flow/course will not get disturbed. Removal/collection of Sand will be started from dip side towards rise at the center and also laterally in 3 meter slice so that the river course will not get affected. Unwanted material or spillage (if any ) will not be stacked by the side of the excavation voids created. This is to be done so, because it will otherwise hinder the flow of water in monsoon season. Removal/ collection of sand will be done leaving safety barrier on both sides and maximum barrier should be on concave side of river preferably the flow channel (excavation void created) should be kept straight so as to help avoid erosion as side cutting.
4.9.3 Land Degradation Control Measures The present land use & land use after 5 years of working in the applied leasehold area is given in the below table.

4.10 IMPACT ON SOIL No soil cover exists in the core zone so there will be impact. No major impact on soil of the study area is envisaged due to removal/collection of sand as there is no stack emission and fugitive emission shall remain confined locally within working area and emission at haul road will be controlled by water sprinkling and plantation.
4.11 IMPACT ON SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT 4.11.1 Human Settlement The villages and their inhabitants in the buffer zone will not be disturbed from their settlements due to the proposed project.
There is no habitation within the applied lease area. Therefore neither villages nor any part of village or any hamlet will be disturbed during during the operational phase. So no adverse impact is anticipated on human settlement.

Refer Annexure No. XIII: Copy of Minutes of Public Hearing. 7.3 RISK ASSESSMENT AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN All types of industries face certain types of hazards which can disrupt normal activities abruptly, similarly River Bed Mining also has impending dangers or risk which need be addressed for which a disaster management plan has been
Applicant – Narottam Singh Jadun River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 206
Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd. formulated with an aim of taking precautionary steps to avert disasters and also to take such action after the disaster which limits the damage to the minimum.
Nevertheless, the following natural problems may be encountered during the mining operation. 1. Increase in gradient of the river – One of the most frequently occurring hazards of the river bed mining is the increase of river gradient due to haphazard mining practices. Due to selective mining in vast patches of the bed, the amount of suspended load, turbidity and velocity of the water may increase which may affect the overall behavior of the stream. 2. Water pollution – The left over aggregates are fine grained particles that are lifted easily by increase of stream water velocity. Retention times of these particles are long and quality of water is affected consequently.
As per proposal made under the mining plan, during proposed working the area will be developed by means of manuals opencast mining method. Exploitation and transportation of minerals are to be carried out by manual means. Water table will not be touched during processed working. No high risk accidents like landslides, subsidence flood etc. have been apprehended.
But possibility of accidental disaster is also not ruled out. Therefore, all the statutory precautions should be taken for quick evacuation as per the Mines Act 1952, the Mines Rules 1955, MMR-1961 and MCDR-1988.
The possible risks in the case of river bed mining project are bank erosion, floods, accidents due to transportation etc. Mining and allied activities are associated with several potential hazards to both the employees and the public at large. A worker in a mine should be able to work under condition, which are adequately safe and healthy. At the same time the environmental condition should be such as not to impair his working efficiency. This is possible only when there is adequate safety in mines. Hence,
Applicant – Narottam Singh Jadun River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 207
Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd. safety is one of the most essential aspects of any working mine. safety of the mine and the employees will be taken care according to the mining rules & regulations, which are well defined with laid down procedure for safety, which when scrupulously followed safety is ensured not only to manpower but also to working environment.
7.3.1 Possible Risks Due To Inundation & Its Control Mining will be done during the non-monsoon periods; therefore problem of inundation is not likely to happen.
7.3.2 Dewatering Depth of mine is limited to 3m depth only from the river bed level whereas the ground water flows at 30m to 35m below the bed level. Hence no dewatering is required.
7.3.3 Possible Risks Due To Failure of Pit Slope & Its Control Pit will be created of limited depth only i.e. 3m thus the chance of failure of pit slope does not exist.
7.3.4 Possible Risks Due To Failure of Waste Dump & Its Control No waste dump is created therefore the question of failure of waste dump does not exist.
7.3.5 Possible Risks Due To Fire & Its Control The operation does not anticipate any fire disaster.
7.3.6 Measures to Prevent Accidents Due to Tractors/ Dumpers All transportation work within mining area shall be carried out directly under the supervision and control of the management. The vehicles will be maintained in good condition and checked thoroughly at least once a month by the competent person authorized for the purpose by the management. Road signs will be provided at each and every turning point up to the main road (wherever required). Applicant – Narottam Singh Jadun River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 208
Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.
To avoid danger while reversing the equipment’s/ vehicles especially at the working place / loading points, stopper should be posted to properly guide reversing/ spotting operating, otherwise no person should be there within 10 m radius of machine. A statutory provision of the fences, constant education, training etc. will go a long way in reducing the incidents of such accidents.
7.3.7 Other Possible Measures to Avoid Risks/ Disaster Due to River Bed Mining. Unwanted material including mineral or spillage (if any) should not be stacked on the banks as it will hinder the flow of water in monsoon season. Mining of minerals / working shall be started from the center from dip to rise and then laterally in 3 meter slice so that the river course could not get affected. The material will be mined out in a uniform way so that the river flow/ course shall not get disturbed. River banks will not be excavated to from access ramps.
Maintenance and monitoring: Competent person will monitor the area every week and if maintenance is required, it will be done as per requirement.
7.4 SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT, R&R ACTION PLAN There will be the positive impact on the villagers of the nearby villages in the form of employment. There is no human settlement in the applied lease area. Thus, there is no impact on the human settlement and thus no R & R plan is required.

CHAPTER – IX ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN
9.1 INTRODUCTION The environmental impact assessment presented in previous chapter is based on the control measures. It is concluded that the mining activities having substantial, but reversible impact on environment and the suggestive measures should be taken so as to minimize the impacts.
Environmental management plan details the environmental quality control measures which are proposed for this project to achieve the production of 16,80,000 TPA of ordinary sand (Bajri (Minor Minerals) by complying with the stipulated standard limit specified by state pollution control board and CPCB.
Environment Management Plan, which is to be implemented in the project has detailed under the following heads: River course environment Air Environment Water Environment Noise Environment Solid waste Management Biological Environment including Plantation Development Implementation of EMP and monitoring Programme
9.2 RIVER COURSE ENVIRONMENT Land degradation is one of the major adverse impacts of opencast mining activities related to mining and any effort to control adverse impacts would be incomplete without appropriate land reclamation strategy.
Deviation from planned mining procedure can lead to bank erosion/cutting and thereby river channel shifting degradation of land, causing loss of properties
Applicant – Narottam Singh Jadun River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 214
Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.
and degradation surrounding of landscape. Thus for environment friendly river bed mining the following control/abatement measures will be followed:
Removal of sand will be mined out in central position of stream and sufficient safety barrier say 10% of width will be left towards bank side. So that the river flow / course will not get disturbed. Removal of sand will be started from dip side towards rise at the center and also laterally in 3 meter slice so that the river course will not get affected. Unwanted material including mineral or spillage (if any) will not be stacked by the side of the excavation area. If need be done then it should be dozed afterwards in excavation voids created. This is to be done so, because it will otherwise hinder the flow of water in monsoon season. Removal of sand will be done by leaving safety barrier on both sides and maximum barrier should be on concave side of river preferably the flow channel (excavation void created) should be kept straight so as to help avoid erosion as side cutting. In the first five years, mining excavation will be excavated and next year dig will be replenishment with monsoon season.
9.3 AIR ENVIRONMENT In order to minimize impacts of mining on air and to maintain it within the prescribed limits of CPCB/SPCB, an Environment Management Plan (EMP) has been prepared. This will help in resolving all environmental and ecological issues likely to cause due to applied mining in the area.
During the course of mining no toxic substances are released into the atmosphere as such there seems to be no potential threat to health of human beings. In river bed mining activities, the only source of gaseous emission is from the engines of vehicles. The reasons may be quality of fuel, improper operation of
Applicant – Narottam Singh Jadun River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 215
Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.
the engine, etc. proper maintenance of engines will improve combustion process and brings reduction in pollution. The fugitive dust generation during mining and transportation requires some mitigation.
Measures to Prevent Generation & Dispersal of Dust Dust particles that are normally generated during various mining operations
when become airborne lead to increase in PM10 level in the ambient air. Another source of dust generation is the transport of material by vehicle. Dust suppression by water spraying will be adopted on the roads. Maintenance of transportation vehicles and kutchha road will be done on regular basis. Regular water spraying on haulage roads during transportation of sand.
Plantation will be carried out on approach roads & nearby vicinity of river bank. To control the emissions regular preventive maintenances of equipment’s will be done to adopt corrective actions wherever needed. It is being ensured that all transportation vehicles will carry a valid PUC certificate. Dust mask will be provided to the employees.
9.4 NOISE ENVIRONMENT The noise level monitoring carried out in the area has indicated that the present noise levels in applied mine area is generally within limits. The deployments of vehicles for transport and other auxiliary operations will increas the noise level but are naturally attenuated within applied lease area itself.
9.4.1 Noise Abatement and Control Proper maintenance of all machines will be carried out, which help in reducing generation of noise during operations. No other equipment’s accept the transportation vehicles as tractor trolley is allowed.
Applicant – Narottam Singh Jadun River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 216
Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.
Noise generated by these equipment’s is intermittent and does not cause much adverse impact. Periodical monitoring of noise will be done to adopt corrective actions wherever needed. Plantation will be taken up along the approach roads and on river bank. The plantation minimizes propagation of noise and also arrests dust.
9.5 WATER MANAGEMENT Removal/collection of sand in the area will be done well above the water table as therefore impact on water regime is not anticipated. The ground water level of applied lease area is 30m to 35m from the BGL. River bed mining will be up to depth of 3m from the surface. The removal/collection of sand from river bed does not have any impact on natural drainage of surrounding area as no mining will be carried out, outside the lease area.
Removal/collection of sand will be done up to a depth of 3m in the river bed, which will be replenished during monsoon season, more or less restoring to original position thus not affecting normal drainage in the river channel also.
9.5.1 Waste Water Management No waste water is generated due to proposed working as the project only involves lifting Bajri from river bed in dry state.
9.6 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT No solid waste is generated from the said mining operations. There is no toxic element present in the mineral which may contaminate the soil.
Applicant – Narottam Singh Jadun River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 217
Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.
9.7 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT The mining activity will have insignificant effect on the existing flora and fauna in the core/buffer zone. Flora & fauna found in the buffer zone will not get affected because mining activities will be confined to core zone only by manual means.
The purpose of the project itself is to save the flora around the project area from river widening, excessive erosion and floods. It was found that the removal/ collection of sand will not have any significant impact on the flora and fauna of the region. The aquatic flora & fauna is also not likely to be affected as proposed mining blocks remains dry except the rainy season.
There is a requirement to establish a stable ecosystem with both ecological and economic returns. Minimization of soil erosion and dust pollution enhances the beauty of the core and the buffer zone. To achieve this it is planned to increase plantation activities. The basic objectives of Plantations are as follows:-
• Improvement of Soil quality • Quick vegetative cover to check soil erosion • Improvement in river bank stability • Conservation of biological diversity • Provide forage and browse for wild life
9.8 PLANTATION PROGRAMME About 33% of total land area will be developed as part of green belt; plantation will be done along the peripheral area in the proposed project site. This will help to reduce the noise pollution; dust spread and also enhances the aesthetic value around the project site.
Total 130.0 hectare will be covered under plantation. Plantation will be done at the rate of 1000 saplings per hectare; it will arrest environmental pollution, erosion and upgrade the scenic beauty of the area. Planting and sowing
