SuStainable Development Framework report KURMITAR IRON ORE MINES O.M.C LTD. 2016-17 Page 1 of 27 Introduction: Kurmitar iron ore mines of OMC is located around the Khandadhar Hill ( 830m) featured in the Survey of India Top sheet no. 73 G/1& 2.The mining lease, bounded between Latitude 210 44’08.88756” to 210 45’ 32.18004’’ N & Longitude 850 10’ 55.23828’’ to 850 10’57.49632”E falls in Sundargarh District of Odisha. Kurmitar Iron Ore Mines is well connected to Barsuan and Rourkela by Black Top Road. Initially OMC was holding mining lease over an area of 1212.470 Ha for 20 years from 29/04/1965 , now it is revised to 651.00 Ha. The period of mining lease extended upto 31.03.2035. Currently OMC has forest clearance over an area of 133.112 Ha. (Stage-II) and balance area of 517.888 Ha (Stage-I). The mining activities are carried out by espousing latest mining technology in a highly efficient manner. We do credence in the comprehensive compliances of all the statutory clearances, returns and implementation of the same with true spirit. The project is very strictly following all statutory compliance of MoEF & CC, IBM, DGMS, CGWA/CGWB and SCPB/CPCB. Sustainable Development Framework In a bid to ensure minimal impact of iron ore mining on the environment and human settlement, the union Ministry for Mines has implemented a “Star Rating” system for mining leases to promote sustainable development practices, which includes addressing the social impact of resettlement and rehabilitation and key information’s of the mining activity including mines basic information’s environmental safe guard measures, CSR activities as a whole. A star rating program is the implementation to be given to mining leases for the efforts and initiatives taken for implementation of the sustainable Development Framework (SDF). SDF Provides guidance to mining companies to improve the performance not only with regard to environmental and social aspects, but also (Provides) a common benchmark against the operations which can be evaluated in terms comparative performance on sustainable development norms. Inline to the said guidelines of the Govt., the company has constituted a Sustainable Development Unit (SDU) under SDF. The team comprises of different key personals of the organization involving Technical, Financial, CSR, HR/HRD, Environment depts. The SDU is headed by Sri. Kathi Pradhan, Manager (Mining), who is functional head of the organization having capacity of more than 18 years of experience in the open cast mining. Sri. Prem Ishq Tigga, Dy. Manager (Personnal), having experience of more than 14 years expertise in various industries. Sri. Bhagirathi Majhi, Sr. Manager (Civil), having 25 years of experience in civil work. Sri. Saroj Kumar Prusty, Dy. Manager (Finance,) is having more than 26 years of experience in Finance. Sri Praveen Kumar Mahanta, Dy. Manager (Mining), having more than 10 years of experience in open cast mining activities. Sri. Jitendra Kumar Sahu, Manager (Forest & Environment), having experience more than 13 years in the field of environment management. Sri. Dillip Sahoo, CSR Consultant, having experience more than 10 years in the field. Page 2 of 27 Environmental Management Program The Kurmitar Iron Ore Mines Comes Under Category-A (Fully Mechanized Category) As Per The IBM Guidelines. The Deposit Is Being Worked By Opencast Mining Method With Formation Of Benches By Drilling And Blasting. Presently Maximum Height Of Bench Is 8 M Whereas, Minimum Width Of Bench Is 15 M. Drilling & Blasting Is Being Used For Hard Laminated & Massive Ore, Whereas, Soft Ore Is Directly Excavated By 1.5 – 3.5 M3 Capacity Hydraulic Excavators. The Blasted/Excavated Material Is Loaded Into 35 T Capacity Dumpers Which In Turn Is Transported To 250 Tph & 800 Tph Dry Screening & Crushing Unit for Further Size Reduction & Screening. The key features under management program are as follows: Haul road • Haul roads are the major source of dust in a mine. To overcome the problem of dust generation sufficient wetting by movable water sprinklers. Water quality • The water table will not be touched during the proposed scheme period. However due to surface run offs there will be likely impact on the surface water quality. For the purpose, 11 nos. of check dams with boulder packing have been constructed along the streams to protect surface runoff. • Along with 3354 mtr. Concrete wall/ Crater Boulder Wall, 6 numbers of Garland Drains and 3 numbers of Settling ponds are made for avoid the contamination of water. Noise levels: • Due to operation of the HEMM & plant, ambient noise levels is likely to increase but the same will be managed through proper maintenance of the plant & machineries & use of personal protective equipments. • The monitoring of Ambient air quality, surface water & ground water quality and noise quality will be carried out every month by the forest & environment section of OMC /External agency. Vibration levels (due to blasting) The blast induced ground vibrations will be controlled through limiting the charge per delay and use of in-hole delay by NONEL means of initiation. The blasting frequency will be limited to 2-3 times per week. Mines runoff Management:- Check Dams. Setting ponds. Proper garland drain with drainage pattern for guiding mines surface run off.
