Applicant – Indrajeet Singh Jhala River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 46 Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

The mining will be done in five blocks in different sites of the applied lease area. The total applied lease area is 1695.06 hect. and about 130.0 hect. area will be excavated in different five blocks in the operational phase.

2.11 REPLINISHMENT IN MINING AREA The rotational mining shall be adopted to facilitate the replenishment of the excavated part of river during rainy season. Thus the mineable area has been divided in two parts of each mining blocks i.e. the upstream part and the downstream part. The Mining of these two part is suggested on rotation basis in such a way that working site of previous year mining will act as depository for the post monsoon season.

Significant feature of Mining  The mining shall be done manually. No mining machinery shall be deployed.  The working period for mining will be restricted to 270 days (nine months) and during three month of rainy season no mining shall be undertaken.  The mining operations in the applied lease area would be confined to day light hours, from 9 A.M. to 5 P. M. Applicant – Indrajeet Singh Jhala River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 47 Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

 The block being rested would be remaining so nearly for 15 months.  Thus virtually each block would be rested for replenishment for two consecutive monsoons.  The Bajri will be loaded into trolleys by manually and transported to directly sell.

2.12 EMPLOYMENT GENERATION: The mining activity in the applied lease area will involve contractual labor. About 523 persons will be engaged in mining of Bajri; loading of material into tractor trolleys. The Bajri will be transport and directly sold. For mining 2500 MT/day, we shall need a manpower of 2500/5=500 Workmen. The vehicle for transport of Bajri from mine to the destination is provided by the contractor. The labors for loading and un-loading of Bajri will also enganged by contractor. Sometimes extra loads which are not booked by the buyers are unloaded at the Stack yard made for temporary storage of Bajri for a day or two outide river bed area.

2.13 WASTE GENERATION There is no top soil, overburden or waste to be encountered in the area. Waste disposal is not required and not proposed.

2.14 TRANSPORTATION The applied lease area is having gentle slope during the survey and mapping along the applied lease with the gradient of 1:1037 hence, tracks for the movement of tractors can be made and maintained in any part of the applied lease area. During the survey and mapping of applied lease area gradient of both Kali Sindh & Ahu river found 1:1037.

The loaded tractor trolleys would carry the material directly sold. About 2500 metric tons of Bajri would be required to be moved daily. Transportation will be done by tractor trolley only.

3.5 REPLISHMENT OF THE AREA The mining from river bed does not have any impact on topography and natural drainage of surrounding area as no part of land outside river bed is disturbed and the void formed dust excavated Bajri (Mineral) from river bed is filled bank generally during monsoon season, more or less restoring to original position thus not affecting normal drainage in the river channel also.

3.6 HUMAN SETTLEMENT There is no human settlement within the applied lease area. Total 243 villages with 49314 household within the study area with population of 239101.

3.7 HYDROLOGICAL ASPECTS Geological Framework Jhalawar comprises rocks of Vindhayan super group and Deccan traps. About 60% of the district is covered by Deccan traps. The Vindhayan comprised of lower and upper Vindhayan represented by Jhalarapatan sandstone, Suket shale and limestone, Kaimur sandstone, Rewa shale, sandstone and conglomerate, Ganugarh shales, lower Bhander sandstone and limestone.

Applicant – Indrajeet Singh Jhala River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 60 Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

The Vindhayan sandstone and shale form linear hills trending North West to south east. They are exposed around Jhalawar town and to its north east and north west. These rocks are overlain by twelve basaltic flows between 280 and 481metres mean reduced level. Around Dag and Kolvi the flows have undergone wide spread laterization. Both fossiliferous and non fossiliferous clay, chert, limestone beds are also present.

The entire Dag, Pirawa, Manoharthana and parts of Bakani and Jhalarapatan Blocks are occupied by Deccan traps. The northern part of the district comprising of Khanpur block is occupied by sandstone and limestone of lower Bhander group. The main hill ranges comprising of shale, sandstone and conglomerates belongs to Rewa and Kaimur groups of upper Vindhayan. Semri group belonging to Lower Vindhayan is exposed in parts of Jhalarapatan block.

Hydro-geological Condition: The occurrence of ground water in the district is mainly controlled by the topographic and structural features present in the geological formations. Groundwater occurs mainly under unconfined condition to semi-confined in saturated zone of rock formation. Its occurrence is controlled by topography, physiography and structural features of the geological formations. The movement of the groundwater in hard rock areas is governed by size, openness, interconnection and continuity of structural weak planes while in unconsolidated rocks groundwater movement takes places through pore space between grains. Water bearing properties of different aquifers are described below:

Groundwater in Vindhayan Super Group Vindhayan sandstones and shales mainly occur in northern part of the district. Sand stones (mostly of Bhander group) are the most widely distributed lithounits in the Vindhayan terrain of the district. Generally the sandstones and shales occur as alternate layers. The sandstones layers are Applicant – Indrajeet Singh Jhala River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 61 Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

low dipping, fine grained, compact and hard where as shales are flaky in nature. Under favourable conditions the contact of two yield water.

Within sandstone large dia. open wells are most feasible abstraction structures and yield of wells ranges from 50 to 200 cu.m/ day ,value of specific capacities ranges from 20 to 200litres/ min./meter.

Groundwater within Vindhayan shales occur under water table conditions in the weathered zone and in fractures formed due to splintery nature of the shales. Large diameter dug wells taping shales yield only in the range of 20 to 80 cu.meter /day.Dug wells at a stretch can run for 1 to 2 Hours only. Horizontal boring in the dug wells also does not yield promising result. Source –CGWB, Jhalawar

3.7.1 Introduction Local hydrological parameters and ground level water levels are not affected due to mining activity in the area.

Ground Water Condition The ground water level in the valley of River Badi Kali Sindh, Ahu, Chandra Bhaga, Rewa Nadi & their connected flow nallahs varies on an average from 40 meters to 45 meters near the riverbed and increases towards.

3.8 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 Jhalawar. 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 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. Applicant – Indrajeet Singh Jhala River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 63 Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

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 (Jhalawar) is located in the study area. Meteorological information available for this station is temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed and wind direction. The data recorded at Jhalawar IMD station for the period December, 13 to February, 14 are summarized in below table.

Meteorological Data from IMD Station The data recorded at Jhalawar IMD station of the study period December, 2013 to February, 2014 are temperature and relative humidity were recorded during the study period which are summarized in the below table.

The mean maximum temperature ranges recorded was 30.4°C and minimum temperature was 7.6°C during the study period. The relative humidity is high during the study period, being generally over 88%. Wind speed plays a dominant role in the dispersion of air pollutants. An observation of the wind rose shows that the predominant wind directions are NEE to SWW.

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 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

Applicant – Indrajeet Singh Jhala River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 83 Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

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 (6 am to 10 pm) and night time (10 pm to 6 am).

The noise analysis within the study area was recorded using 4-20, sound level meter. The analysis reveals that the noise’s 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.

3.14.3 Survey methodology Flora The present study on the floral assessment for the proposed project activity is based on extensive field survey of the area. The study has been conducted in winter season. The plant species were identified during floral survey and with the help of nearby institutions / University and by secondary sources. Besides the collection of plant species, information was also collected with vernacular names of plant species made by local inhabitants. In this process the whole study area was divided into different sections to get the maximum diversity of plant species. The sampling sites were selected based on land use pattern, topography and floristic composition of the study area. Data on forest type, legal status and their extent in the study area has been collected from forest department. The other relevant data on biodiversity, economically important plant species and medicinal plant, rare and endangered species in the study area have been collected during site visit and from different secondary sources.

Fauna The study of fauna takes substantial amount of time to understand the specific faunal characteristics of the area. The assessment of fauna has been done by extensive field survey of the area. During survey, Line Transect method was used for the study of mammals and Transact & Patch sampling was used for Amphibians. In addition the following sources were also used during survey.  Sighting during ecological studies  Animal call  Foot mark and excreta During survey, the presence of wildlife was also confirmed from the local inhabitants depending on the animal sightings and the frequency of their visits in the project area which was later confirmed from different government offices like forest department, wildlife department etc.

3.14.5 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.

During faunal survey species like three striped palm squirrel (Funambulus palmarum), Hanuman langur (Semnopithecus entellus) and Indian gray mongoose (Herpestes edwardsi), are observed in core and buffer zone.

FIGURE 3.18: FIELD SURVEY DURING SITE VISIT

3.14.6 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 species observed in the applied lease area are Cattle egret (Bubulcus ibis), Yellow Wagtail (Motacilla flava), Indian Pond Heron (Ardeola grayii), White Wagtail (Motacilla alba), Indian Roller (Coracias benghalensis), Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) etc.

Different species were observed during field survey in the study area are House sparrow (Passer domesticus), Common Babbler (Turdoides caudate), Hoopoe (Upupa epops), Red-Wattled Lapwing (Vanellus indicus), Yellow- Wattled Lapwing (Vanellus malabaricus)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), Spotted dove (Spilopelia chinensis), Little green bee

Methodology Sample Collection and preservation The water samples were collected from 17 different locations out of which 13 are river samples including upstream and downstream locations and 4 are lake samples. The samples were collected in the month of December 2013 for winter season.

The samples were collected from 10 cm depth below the water surface. Polythene bottles of different capacity were used for collection of water samples. All sampling bottles were soaked in 10% Nitric acid solution for 24 hrs and then rinsed with distilled water before use. The samples were subjected to phytoplankton and zooplankton analysis using following techniques.

Phytoplankton Analysis The Lackey Drop (micro-transect) Count Method (Lackey, 1938; Edmonson, 1969) is used for obtaining counts of phytoplankton. Organisms are counted under microscope in strips on slide from a drop of centrifuged, decanted and concentrated volume of sample and number of individuals of each organism is counted under microscope (45x magnifications). The number is expressed per ml of the sample.

Zooplankton Analysis Zooplankton density is always lesser than phytoplankton density; therefore around 20-50 L of water is passed through plankton net (mesh size 50 m) to concentrate zooplankton. The entire water is centrifuged, decanted and concentrated to make 1 ml volume for observation in S-R (Sedgwick-Rafter) counting cell. The zooplankton is counted in 10x magnification. Its number is expressed per m3 of the sample.

3.14.8 Greenbelt Development As per 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.

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

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.

3.17 SOCIO-ECONOMIC SURVEY Sampling Method A judgmental and purposive sampling method was used for choosing respondents of various sections of the society i.e. Sarpanch, adult males and females, teachers, medical practitioners, businesspersons, agriculture laborers, fishermen, unemployed group etc. Judgmental and purposive sampling method includes the right cases from the total population that helps to fulfill the purpose of research needs.

Data Collection Method Data collection is a term used to describe a process of preparing and collecting data, for example, as part of a process improvement or similar project. The purpose of data collection is to obtain information to keep on record, to make decisions about important issues, to pass information on to others. Primarily, data are collected to provide information regarding a specific topic. Data collection usually takes place early on in an improvement project, and is often formalized through a data collection plan which often contains the following activity.  Pre collection activity — agree on goals, target data, definitions, methods  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 disadvantage.

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 Applicant – Indrajeet Singh Jhala River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 165

Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd. 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 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.

3.17.1 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:  Some of the respondents are aware about the project activity.  Some of the respondents have very good opinion about the project and they opined that due to project activity, quality of life of the villages will improve.  Respondent have suggested minimizing the environmental pollution during and after project activity  Village leaders suggested that employment opportunity should give to local population

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. - Climate - Air environment - Land environment - Ecology - Water environment - Noise levels - Soil - Socio-economic environment - Cultural and Heritage environment

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 CONSTRUCTION PHASE There will be no impacts as no construction stage is involved in this project.

4.3 OPERATION PHASE 4.3.1 Impact on topography & drainage  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.  Mining pits will impact river bed topography by formation of excavation voids. This will be temporary and in first monsoon itself will be temporary and in first monsoon itself will be restored to original.

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.  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.

4.4 IMPACTS ON CLIMATE 4.4.1 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 lease area.

4.4.2 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.

4.4.3 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 buildings, green belt developed around the mine, etc.

4.4.4 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.

4.5 IMPACT ON AIR ENVIRONMENT 4.5.1 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. This scenario is with the expansion already in place.

The major contribution of air pollution is by river bed mining, such as excavation, loading, transportation, and handling of mineral of Bajri. 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.

4.5.2 Air Pollution Modeling The impact of the expansion 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 algorithm. 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.

4.5.3 Pollutants / Model Options Considered for Computations

The model simulations deal with major Pollution Particulate Matter (PM10) and gaseous emissions viz. SO2 & NO2.

4.5.4 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.

4.5.5 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 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 Applicant – Indrajeet Singh Jhala River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 173

Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

About 23.6 Quantity of dust emitted in kg/for 1000 tonnes of excavation Dust emission rate=(7,50,000 x23.6)/ 300x8x1000)= 7.375 kg/hr

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 is one third of the computed emission. Accordingly emission rate to be in the modeling is (7.375 /3) i.e. 2.458 kg/hr.

Mine Dimensions The mine dimensions are as follows: Applied Area = 1695.06 hectare

Meteorological Data On site hourly meteorological data for winter months (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.

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(-y2/2y2) g2 = exp[-(z-H)2/2z2] + exp[-(z+H)2/2z2]

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)2/2z2] + exp[-(z+H+2NL)2/2z2]

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).

Rural Conditions

Stability Class y z A 0.22x(1+0.0001x)-.5 0.20x B 0.16x(1+0.0001x)-.5 0.12x C 0.11x(1+0.0001x)-.5 0.08x(1+0.0002x).5 D 0.08x(1+0.0001x)-.5 0.06(1+0.0015x).5 E 0.06x(1+0.0001x)-.5 0.03x(1+0.0003x)-1 F 0.04x(1+0.0001x)-.5 0.16x(1+0.0003x)-1

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 is being 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.

Applicant – Indrajeet Singh Jhala River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 181

Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

(b) During Transport Operations All the haul roads are kept levelled, wide and compacted. Regular water spraying will be done on haul roads in the mining area. In order to reduce dust pollution, green belt will be developed.

4.6 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.

The area is general represents calm surroundings. There is no heavy traffic, industry or noisy habitation in the area of mine. The other major industry like minerals cement plant and others is far away. With the increase in scale of mining operations, deployment of machinery and vehicles operation and men and noise levels are expected to increase.

Mitigation Measures  Periodical monitoring of noise will be done.  No other equipment’s except the transportation vehicles will be allowed.  Noise generated by these equipment’s 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.

4.7 IMPACT ON HYDROLOGICAL CONDITIONS The study area itself being part of River Badi Kali Sindh, Ahu, Chandra Bhaga, Rewa Nadi & their connected flow nallahs 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, which is in the south to north direction.

The area is part of river bed for more than nine months in a year except for the rainy season. The Bajri will be mining up to the depth of 3mt will have insignificant impact on water regime.

The ground water table which will be about 40 to 45m below the surface of river bed in the mining area during the dry seasons will not be disturbed as ultimate working depth will be 3m. Thus the mine operation will not affect the hydrological conditions of the area. At the end of mining operations every yearly season, the flood waters would replenish the mined material, thus it will be positive impact on the ground water scenario in the subsequent mining period.

4.8 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.

Applicant – Indrajeet Singh Jhala River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 183

Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

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 Mining 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 40-45 m below river bed level while the workings in the area are proposed up to a max. depth of 3m from river bed working is proposed, so that water level is 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. Mining neither intersect ground water table nor river bed water level. So not at all disturbing water environment.

4.9 IMPACT ON FLORA 4.9.1 Flora in Buffer Zone As the mining activities will be confined to core zone only, no adverse impact is foreseen on the flora of the forest area.

4.9.2 Flora in Core Zone Excavation in the mining area and construction of roads, offices etc. does not affect the flora in the area where these operations are carried out. Plantation will be carried out on approach roads and nearby vicinity at river banks areas will, over a period of time, upgrade the flora.

Applicant – Indrajeet Singh Jhala River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 184

Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

4.10 IMPACT ON FAUNA The adverse impacts on fauna are mainly due to:  Human Activity  Noise  Land Degradation  Deforestation

4.10.1 Impact on Ecological Factor No forest land in the applied lease area. It is entirely a Govt. waste land. No Endangered species found in the area, so no adverse impact on the flora and fauna. Excavation in the mining area does not affect the flora in the area where these operations are carried out.

4.10.2 Control Measures for Ecological factors Since there is no endangered species of flora & fauna observed in core zone as well as in study area, so no adverse impacts on the flora & fauna, therefore measures are not required.

The impact on the fauna of the buffer zone due to the mining activity will be marginal. As there are very few trees / shrubs in the area, deforestation will not be significant factor in impact on fauna.

Fauna in the core zone is minimal, as most of the area is either unirrigated agricultural land or waste land. 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.

Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

4.11 IMPACT ON LAND ENVIRONMENT 4.11.1 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 are confined to the core zone.

4.11.2 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.  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  Mineral 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.  Mining of minerals 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. Applicant – Indrajeet Singh Jhala River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 186

Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

 Mining is to 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.

4.11.3 Land Degradation Control Measures The present land use, land use after 5 years working land use of the leasehold area is given in below table. TABLE 4.2: LAND USE PATTERN-EXISTING & UP TO END OF LEASE PERIOD (5 YRS) (IN HACTARE) Up to Planning S.

4.12 IMPACT ON SOIL No major impact on soil of the study area is envisaged due to mining activities 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.

4.13 IMPACT ON SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT 4.13.1 Human Settlement The villages and their inhabitants in the buffer zone will not be disturbed from their settlements due to the mining operations.

There is no inhabitation within the applied lease area. Therefore neither villages nor any part of village or any hamlet will be disturbed during the

Applicant – Indrajeet Singh Jhala River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 187

Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd. entire life of the mine. As the mining operations will not disturb or relocate any village or settlement, no adverse impact is anticipated on any human settlement.

4.13.2 Employment The area is considered as industrially backward. The population in general do not have opportunities of earning from employment. The only employment to depend on is agriculture, which is seasonal. In the absence of any high employment potential activities, the people are economically backward. The mining operations are providing employment to 523 persons.

The various indirect employment opportunities have also been generated. Several persons of the neighboring villages have been benefited with contract works, employment through contractors, running of jeeps, trucks, tractors and buses on hire, different kind of shops and transport related business avenues.

4.13.3 ECONOMIC STATUS There are some people who are engaged in trading of ordinary sand (Bajri). Therefore, due to mining of Bajri the per capita income of local people will be improved.

The local people have been provided with either direct employments or indirect employment such as business, contract works and development work like roads, etc. and other welfare amenities such as medical facilities, conveyance, free education, drinking water supply etc.

The job / business opportunities have improved the economic condition of the persons.

CHAPTER – VI ADDITIONAL STUDIES: DISASTER MANAGEMENT

6.1 INTRODUCTION 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 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 riverbed 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. Dumping of waste material – The waste left from the river bed mining consists of unusable aggregates and mainly clay. The clay is generally dumped back in the mined out areas. Subsequently the clay gets mixed with stream water to result in increased turbidity and siltation downstream. 3. 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. Applicant – Indrajeet Singh Jhala River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 197

Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

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.

6.2 RISK ASSESSMENT AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN The possible risks in the case of riverbed 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, 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.

6.2.1 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.

6.2.2 Dewatering Depth of mine is limited to 3m depth only from the riverbed level whereas the ground water flows at 40 to 45m below the bed level. Hence, no dewatering is required.

6.2.3 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.

Applicant – Indrajeet Singh Jhala River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 198

Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

6.2.4 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.

6.2.5 Possible risks due to fire & its control The operation does not anticipate any fire disaster.

6.2.6 Measures to Prevent Accidents Due to Trucks and Dumpers  All transportation within applied mining lease working should 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).  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 km 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.

6.2.7 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 1 meter slice so that the river course could not get affected.  The minerals will be mined out in a uniform way so that the river flow/ course shall not get disturbed.  Riverbanks will not be excavated to from access ramps.  Only excavated river gravel should be used to deposit against the river bank to form access ramps. Applicant – Indrajeet Singh Jhala River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 199

Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

Maintenance and monitoring: The area will be monitored every week by competent person and if maintenance is needed will be done as per requirement.

6.3 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, business promotion and social welfare. 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.

8.1 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 7,50,000 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:  Land use pattern and river course environment  Air Environment  Water Environment  Noise Environment  Solid waste Management  Biological Environment including Plantation Development  Implementation of EMP and monitoring Programme

8.2 LAND USE PATTERN AND RIVER COURSE ENVIRONMENT Land degradation is one of the major adverse impact of opencast mining activities related to mining and any effort to control adverse impacts would be incomplete without appropriate land reclamation strategy.

Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

Deviation from planned mining procedure can lead to bank erosion/cutting and thereby river channel shifting degradation of land, causing loss of properties and degradation surrounding of landscape. Thus for environment friendly river bed mining the following control/abatement measures will be followed:

 Sand (Bajri) 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.  Mining 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.  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.

8.3 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 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 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 is adopted on the roads. Maintenance of transported vehicles and maintenance of kutchha road on regular basis. Regular water spraying on haulage roads during transportation of sand and waste by water sprinklers.  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 employs.

8.4 NOISE ENVIRONMENT The noise level monitoring carried out in the area has indicated that the present noise levels in mine site are generally within limits. The deployments of vehicles for transport and other auxiliary operations have increased the noise level but are naturally attenuated within applied lease area itself.

Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

Measures to Control Pollution due to the Noise The following control measures are being taken to keep the ambient noise levels well within limits:

8.4.1 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.  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.

General precaution for blasting will be taken up as following:- No drilling and blasting involved in this project.

8.5 WATER MANAGEMENT 8.5.1 Surface & Ground Water Management  Mining in the area will be done well above the water table as well as river bed water level therefore impact on water regime is not anticipated. The ground water level of applied lease area is 40m to 45m from the BGL. River bed mining will be up to depth of 3m from the surface.  Mining will not intersect the river bed water level or ground water table of the area. So not at all disturbing water environment.  The mining from river bed does not have any impact on topography and natural drainage of surrounding area as no part of land outside river bed is disturbed and the void formed dust excavated Bajri (Minerals) from river bed is Applicant – Indrajeet Singh Jhala River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 208

Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd. filled bank generally during monsoon season, more or less restoring to original position thus not affecting normal drainage in the river channel also.

8.5.2 Waste Water Management No waste water will be generated from the mining activity of minor minerals as the project only involves lifting Bajri from river bed in dry state.

8.6 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.

8.7 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT 8.7.1 Floral and Faunal Environment of the Study Area  The project is only of extraction of minor minerals viz. Ordinary sand (Bajri) from the river bed.  There will be no significant impact of the river bed mining project on the biological diversity found in the 10km. radius of the site.  The applied mining lease area is in non-forest land where presence of fauna is very rare. No endangered species of fauna is found in and around applied lease area. As such, there will be no adverse impact of the mining activity on fauna around the applied mining lease area.  No adverse impacts will be envisaged on the existing aquatic flora & fauna if any on downstream side (away from site) as the mine workings confined to above water level only and at all touching/disturbing water table.  No adverse impacts will be envisaged on the terrestrial flora and fauna as the working are restricted to river bed only.  To study the floral and faunal diversity of the 10km radius a detailed biological study has been carried out and suggested mitigation measures are

Applicant – Indrajeet Singh Jhala River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 209

Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd. proposed there in so that there will be no impact on the biological diversity of the forests falling in the proximity of the site.

8.7.2 Plantation Development The main aim of plantation of mine areas is to control dust/noise in the area, and to protect land from erosion and provide an aesthetic landscape. Keeping the up to the plan period in mine the stage wise plantation will be done.  Plantation is an important sink of air pollutants including noise. Green cover in mining area not only helps in reducing pollution level, but also improves the aesthetic and beneficially influence the microclimate of the surrounding.  It also attracts the animals to re-colonize the area when the mine is abandoned. However green belt may be developed with plant species suitable to the area.  The species, selected for plantation should have rapid growth, evergreen, large crown volume and small/pendulous leave with smooth surface. In this river bed mining project plantation will be developed along the approach roads and sides of river bank. Thick plantation will work as a pollutant arrestor, reduces floods as well as avoids the situation of erosion of soil during monsoon season. For the selection of plantation species, will be discussed with Forest Department.

Total 37.5 hectare are will be covered by the plantation. It will arrest environmental pollution, erosion and upgrade the scenic beauty of the area. Planting and sowing operations are followed up with adequate post plantation care, which includes replacement of casualties.

Protection of Plantation Sites The reclaimed and afforested areas have to be protected from cattle menace, human interference, soil erosion, plant diseases, etc. Check bunds, masonry chutes, protected drains, etc. will be constructed wherever required to control and regulate the water flow to prevent soil erosion and washing away of nutrients. Plants will be protected from diseases by the application of proper pesticides. Soil workings, manuring etc. will be done whenever necessary. Plants will be protected from cattle menace and human interference by providing fencing and proper watch and ward.

8.7.3 General Guidelines for Plantation Development  Trees growing upto 5m or more in height will be planted around the vicinity of river bank.  Trees will be planted along roadsides, to arrest auto – exhaust and noise pollution, and in such a way that there is no direct line of sight to the working site when viewed from a point outside the foliage perimeter.  Since tree trunks are normally devoid of foliage (upto 3mt.), it will be appropriate to have shrubbery in form of such trees to give coverage to trunk portion of these trees.  Fast growing trees with thick perennial foliage will be grown, as it will take many years for other trees to grow to their full height.

Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

In order to facilitate the proper growth of vegetation, limited measures involving preparation of seedbed with suitable amount of fertilizers and treatment with mulches will be taken.

Vegetation cover generally helps in:  Stabilizing erodible slopes to minimize pollution.  Control of dust.  Enhancement of aesthetic value.  Maximizing evpo-transpiration, which helps minimizing run off.  Reducing noise. For re-vegetation, the plants and saplings suitable for the existing soils and site condition may consider. It is recommended to plant fast growing local plant species, which can adapt to the local climate. This has to be done in consultation with local Government Horticulturist.

8.8 SOCIO – ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT 8.8.1 Management Plan for Socio-Economic Environment The environmental management plan has been developed with a view to bring down the levels of impacts as discussed in the last chapter within limits. In each of the areas of impact, measures have to be taken to reduce potentially significant adverse impacts and where these are beneficial in nature, such impacts are to be enhanced/augmented so that the overall adverse impacts are reduced to as low level as possible. For the socio economic development about 10 lacs will be spent up to operational phase.

There will be over all positive effect on social life on the local people, as they will get job opportunity, transport and medical facilities so the mining activities will benefit them directly or indirectly. 1. Ordinary sand production and employment opportunities. Applicant – Indrajeet Singh Jhala River Bed Mining of Ordinary Sand (Bajri) 212

Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

2. Reduction in the migration of jobless laborers from native place to other distant places. 3. Interaction of local people with outsides, and improvement in communication, which will enhance their present status of knowledge and confidence.

Employment The mining operations will employ about total 523 persons. Preference will be given to the local population while inducting any manpower. The future mining activity would provide indirect employment to a large number of local population in activities like planting and watering of trees for green belt development.

Business Promotion While offloading the jobs to outside parties’ preference will be given to the local people.

8.9 OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY & HEALTH Safety of employee during mining operation and maintenance of mining equipment will be taken care as per MMR 1961 & MCDR 1988. To avoid any adverse effect on the health of workers due to dust, noise sufficient measures have been provided in the mining project. These include:  Provision of rest shelters for mine workers with amenities like drinking water, toilets etc.  Provision of personal protection devices to the workers.  Dust suppression on haul road.  First-aid box with all necessary facilities will be provided at the mining area.  Capital cost & recurring cost for the occupational health is proposed 10 lacks & 2 Lacs.
