Sand is considered as minor mineral and is mainly used for construction projects. In principle of sand reach allotment order was obtained by M/s. TSMDC Ltd., by The Assistant Director of Mines and Geology, Bhadradri Kothagudem vide letter no. 1298/SAND/2016, dt.16.08.2018. The mining plan was approved by the deputy director of mines and geology (DDMG), Warangal, Government of Telangana state, vide Letter No. 118/MP-2/KMM/2019, dt. 03.05.2019 for a production capacity of Sand mining – 233000 m3/year. The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC), Government of India (GOI) issued notifications vide SO 1533, dt. 14.9.2006, its amendments based on the directions issued by National Green Tribunal (NGT), New Delhi vide O. A. No. 16 of 2016, dt.13.09.2018 and vide E.A.NO 55/2018 of O. A. No. 520/2016, dt. 11.12.2018 and MoEFCC notification S.O.2269 (E), dt.01.07.2016 and S.O.3977 (E), dt.14.08.2018 and Office Memorandum dt.12.12.2018 issued in compliance with the hon’ble NGT orders, New Delhi, mandate prior environmental clearance for all mining leases across the country. The notification and its amendments based on NGT directions, classify mine lease areas of 5 - 25 ha as category B2 at par with B1, and stipulate a three-stage process of scoping, public consultation and appraisal by State Environmental Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA) to issue prior environmental clearance. Accordingly scoping for preparation of environmental impact assessment (EIA) was done by the state expert appraisal committee (SEAC), which issued terms of reference vide Letter No. SEIAA/TS/OL/BKGM-09/2019 - 193, dt.03.12.2019 for a production capacity of 233000 m3/year of sand in an area of 23.30 ha. The present study follows the prescribed ToR’s and draft EIA/EMP report for 11 - 1 Team Labs and Consultants Mothe Sand Reach Summary and conclusion public consultation, to facilitate informed view on the project by public/stakeholders for the lease area. M/s Team Labs and Consultants prepared Environmental Impact Assessment Report for the proposed activity. The report is prepared using baseline data of environmental status within 10 km radius of the mine lease area for major environmental components; water, air, noise, soil, flora, fauna and socio-economic environment for one season, and the proposed measures to be adopted for mitigating and controlling pollution. 11.2 Mine Location The sand reach has dimensions of 991.5 m of length, 235 m of width (23.3 ha), and it proposed to mine up to 1 m depth only. The sand reach is located in the floodplain of Godavari river at a distance of 40 m from the stream and 256 m away from river bund. The salient features of the mine lease location and study area are presented in table below. Salient features of the mine lease location and study area Description Remarks M/s.

Hence it is proposed to use manual open cast mining method with a maximum depth of 1 m. 11.3.1 Development and Production The sand is exposed to surface without over burden in the flood plain. 11 - 3 Team Labs and Consultants Mothe Sand Reach Summary and conclusion 11.4 Conceptual Plan The mining operations will follow manual open cast method. The entire reserves estimated under proved category as per statutory requirement are 233000 m3 based on the mine scheme. Therefore, the targeted production is 233000 m3/year of sand. Since it is a manual open cast mine the impact is less, the land degradation is limited to the extent of open cast manual method, haulage roads and ramp. 11.5 Employment Potential The manpower requirement is 219 for various semi-skilled and unskilled jobs headed by a mine’s manager as per approved mine plan. 11.6 Site Services The Site services provided are temporary office, rest rooms, First Aid and Rest sheds of temporary nature will be constructed near the ramp of specified sand bearing area. Temporary sheds with cement plastered brick walls and G.I. sheet or grass roofing are constructed for site services. The workers required shall be sourced from surrounding villages. Drinking water is obtained from nearby villages through tankers to mining staff and workers. A tractor mounted tanker is provided for sprinkling of water mainly on village roads to suppress the dust generated due to vehicular movement. 11.7 Water Requirement and Effluent Generation The total water requirement is 11.7 KLD. Water requirement for the proposed activity is mainly for maintaining the green belt (0.8 KLD), for sprinkling on the haul roads (1.0 KLD) to mitigate dust emissions, and for domestic purposes (9.9 KLD). Stagnated water if any, in worked out area is used for sprinkling and green belt development. The domestic water will be drawn from Mothe village. 11.8 Baseline Environmental Status The baseline data for ambient air quality, surface and ground water quality, noise, and soil quality was collected and analyzed for various parameters to determine the existing quality and flora and fauna study of the impact area was conducted during 11 - 4 Team Labs and Consultants Mothe Sand Reach Summary and conclusion period of December 2019 - February 2020. The ambient air quality monitoring results shows that the values are within the prescribed limits of national ambient air quality standards. Ground water sample analysis results show that the values are above the limits for total dissolved solids, total hardness, most of the locations compared to Indian Standard Drinking Water Specification of IS: 10500-2012. Noise quality parameters in the study area are within prescribed limits of Ambient Noise Standards. There are no schedule I flora or fauna within the impact area. 11.8.1 Identification and Quantification of Impacts The project activities that are likely to cause potential impacts on environment are mining operations, transport and associated infrastructure. The likely effects of these activities are fugitive dust generation, noise levels, domestic wastewater and human health risks. ISCST3 model was used for air quality impact predictions. The predicted maximum 24 hourly GLC’s, the maximum predicted values of PM, PM10 and PM10 are 3.49, 1.39 and 0.63 g/m3 respectively and the maximum values are observed within the site.

  • Socio-Environmental Governance Aspects of Identified Thermal Power Plants in Telangana
    Socio-Environmental Regulatory Governance Aspects of Thermal Power Plants in Telangana Issues, Challenges and Ways Forward Research Report: Jan-Dec, 2017 Supported by a Fellowship from the Girish Sant Memorial Committee, Pune 1 Acknowledgements This Research Report, based on a one year intense study and engagement, could not have been possible without moral and material support from the Girish Sant Memorial Committee, established to assist young researchers and activists to continue public-spirited work in the development sector, with a specific focus on energy and electricity. The Author, who by sheer co-incidence happens to share her birthday with Girish Sant, has drawn inspiration and energy from his life and work, as documented in numerous reports and also shared by his fellow-travelers. This Report could never have come this far, but for the extensive encouragement, detailed inputs, intense conversations, cogent critiques and consistent engagement of my mentors Shripad Dharmadhikary and Sreekumar Nhalur, from who I have indeed learnt A LOT in the past year. I have also been abundantly inspired from the conversations with numerous young and still young researchers of PEG, whose words, work and wisdom I have relied upon in this Report as well, albeit in a small measure. A significant number of persons from within the civil society, administration, media, independent experts, researchers have contributed in multiple ways by adding fibre to this Report and by sharing their experiences, documents, insights and I am whole heartedly thankful to each one of them. A long list of persons who assisted at various points of writing this report is annexed at the end and any omissions would only be inadvertent.
