1. AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT
Sharp drill bits will be used for drilling to reduce generation of dust and noise.
Drilling machines will be equipped with water spraying system to prevent dust to get air borne.
Blasting will be done in most scientific manner, use of non electric ignition system, use of millisecond delay detonators and optimizing the blasting parameters to control & prevent the dust to get air borne and to control the fly rock.
Rock breaker will be used for breaking over size boulders, which eliminates the generation of dust due to secondary blasting activities.
All the haul roads will be kept properly graded with sufficient width and regular water spraying is done on the haul roads.
Proper maintenance (preventive as well as schedule maintenance) of vehicles will be carried out regularly for minimization of generation of gaseous pollutants.
Personal Protective Equipment like dust mask, ear plug/ear muff, goggles, safety shoe, hand gloves will be provided to all employees.
M/s. Emami Cement Ltd. 2 (A Unit of Emami Group) Proposed Limestone Mining Project with production capacity 5.50 MTPA (ROM) ML area- 989.50 ha, Near Villages,Lasravan-Javda, Tehsil–Nimbahera, District– Chittorgarh (Rajasthan) Form - I / Appendix - I
Periodical ambient air quality monitoring will be done.
Development of green belt/plantation around lease boundary and other places to arrest dust.
2. WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT
Garland drains will be provided all along the periphery of pits to prevent the water carrying the wash-offs entering the mine.
Waste water generated at mines workshop will be treated with the help of oil-water separators and the treated water will be used for dust suppression.
Waste water generated from mine office will be treated in in septic tank and soak pits.
3. NOISE QUALITY MANAGEMENT
The main source of noise will be operation of heavy machinery like drilling machines, dumpers, dozers and blasting which generates considerable noise. But many of these operations are of intermittent in nature and are less likely to be damaging to human beings.
All types of maintenance i.e. scheduled maintenance and preventive maintenance of all machines will be carried out.
Drilling will be carried out with the help of sharp bits. This helps in reducing generation of noise during working of machines.
In order to reduce the effect of noise pollution, protective devices like ear plugs, ear muffs will be provided to mine workers exposed to noise levels more than 75 dB(A).
There will be provision of sound proof cabins to workers deployed for operating machinery producing higher levels of noise.
Periodical of ambient noise levels will be carried out in the core zone as well as in the Buffer zone.
Green belts will be developed around periphery of the lease hold and along road sides to attenuate noise levels. Plantation will be done all along the haul road, roads, periphery of the mining lease area etc.

4.GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT/PLANTATION
At the conceptual stage of mining the partly excavated area will be converted in to water reservoir and green belt will be developed in the earmarked area within the premises. Native plant species will be planted. The trees will be planted at suitable grid spacing as per MOEF /CPCB/Forest deptt. Guidelines leading to proper growth.

(iii) Need for the Project & its Importance to the Country and or Region Cement is an essential ingredient for the modern building construction. The new generation cement plant in India now employs the latest technology for better efficiency, energy conservation and economics of large capacity production. The improved market conditions witnessed recently, after a grip of recession over a long period, are expected to continue due to high priority being given by the Government to housing and infrastructure and also in view of the massive investment proposed in industry and rural sectors. Therefore, there is an urgent need to increase the cement production capacity in the country in spite of severe resource constraints. For that, limestone is the basic raw material.
Therefore, the proposal for the new limestone mine project by M/s. Emami Cement Ltd. is important in catering the rise in demand of cement to the country and region.
(iv) Demand – Supply Gap
The cement demand and supply is estimated based on the following assumptions:
• The cement market has growth due to Central government liberalization policies and development of housing, road and infrastructure projects.
• Limestone is main raw material for cement industry and limestone mining projects are developed to provide raw material to cement industry.
• A cement deficit situation is envisaged in the coming years but the situation may change depending upon the infrastructure growth in the coming years. (iv) Imports vs. Indigenous Production
After development of limestone mines, limestone will be utilized in the proposed cement plant.
(vi) Export Possibility
Proposed Production of limestone will be only utilized in the proposed captive cement plant.
(vii) Domestic/Export Markets
Emami Cement Ltd. has proposed a Integrated Cement Plant with production capacity 3.0 MTPA, in the state of Rajasthan to increase the lead in the region and logistic gain.
M/s. Emami Cement Ltd. 5 (A Unit of Emami Group) Proposed Limestone Mining Project with production capacity 5.50 MTPA (ROM) ML area- 989.50 ha, Near Villages,Lasravan-Javda, Tehsil–Nimbahera, District– Chittorgarh (Rajasthan) Form - I / Appendix - I
The proposed cement production will cater to the cement demands in the states of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Delhi, U.P, M.P, Haryana etc.
Moreover, limestone will be only utilized in the cement plant. Thus there will be no other users for the limestone from this mine.
(viii) EMPLOYMENT GENERATION (DIRECT & INDIRECT) DUE TO THE PROJECT
The total man power including staff and worker required will be about 90 persons.
