4.0 MINING: Block mining will be adopted Galitoda method by using help of wire saw, LD-4, jack hammer, hydraulic jack, compressor, Tata Hitachi shovel excavator and crane. (2) PROPOSED METHOD OF MINING Due to fresh grant of mining there is no proposed method available at any previous stage. Proposed method of mining for upcoming years in the way of opencast semi-mechanized method will be done. All operations of mining will be done by deployment of machinery with LD-4, on single shift basis to develop/ work in the Marble deposit. The individual bench faces will be kept nearly vertical (60° - 70°) while the pit slope will be less than 45°. REASONS FOR CHOOSING THE WORK SITE ARE: To developed systematic mining and for considering of block of Marble and a system of start mining one end of area, proper place, quality of rock and keeping other factors site has been chosen towards south eastern part of the sanctioned area. Lay out of haulage road: Haulage roads 5-6 m wide will be constructed at required places and it will be laid at a maximum 1: 14 gradient. PRINCIPLE OF BLOCK MINING: - Selection of suitable block which has physical quality color, grain size,

1. polish behavior with the diamond tools and concern block should be without cracks and fractures. The principle of block mining is to get three free faces known as the

2. Gali (along the strike) and Toda (across the strike). The basic purpose to prepare the Gali and Toda is to get proper space for block cutting in L shape (combination of Gali and Toda) therefore first Gali and then Toda is developed which is localized for proper functioning of wire saw machine approximately 3 - 6 m space.

15 RAM MILAN PATHAK RQP/DGMMP/078/2013 After getting the L shape vertical and horizontal hole, required depth

3. or height of the bench then making the thread alignment in the rectangular shape the holes are drilled with LD-4 portable DTH drill machine. After getting the bore hole drilled then diamond wire saw machine to cut the bottom with diamond pearls followed by both vertical cuts making rock free from all the sides and now this block is pushed with help of pneumatic bags or water bags with hydraulic jack ‘Power jack’ and cut down blocks are lifted to the surface by crane or pock land machine and waste material is kept at required places with the help of dumpers/ tractors. Details of proposed machinery: Following are the proposed 4. machinery likely to be deployed in the area.

During this year almost 110022 m2 the area will be developed, it is a hillside area, currently the work will be done from the upper part of the hill. In the central part of the area selected in this year, the area of upper elevation mRL 363m will be taken up to mRL 352m. till the lower part of the area. And we have used Trapezoidal formula to extract the volume of the area from the 363 mRL to 352 mRL. This is respectively the volume of the field according to this formula.

21 RAM MILAN PATHAK RQP/DGMMP/078/2013 III. CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT: Mining operation is yet to start and will be by mechanized means and will be within 7.5m UPL confined within the applied QL area and total mine life is 13 years and workings are conceptualized on the basis of present knowledge of deposit which may change after further proving of deposit/production. Following pits will be available at the end of conceptual period:

Pit no. Average Area Average No. of benches Bottom RL - m2 Depth - m available of the area Quarry –A 36794 27 m 9-10 310 m

IV. CONCEPTUAL OB DUMP MANAGEMENT: (a) Following waste dumps are available in the area at present: The conceptual dumping area is chosen beyond ultimate pit limit on ground which may not cause any land or water pollution. (b) Following waste dumps will be available at the end of proposal period: Waste Dumps: During proposal period 412024 m3 mine waste will be generated 50% of generated waste will be used in approach road construction & its maintenance & 50% will be dumped in the lease area in the form of temporary waste dump. Therefore, following dumps will be available at the end of proposal period (see the details in para. This para deals with OB management). Dump Type Base area Avg. (avg.) Height Remark No. Active m2 Volume m. /inactive m3 WD Active 7884 206012 25-26 Intercalated Waste Broken Marble Following OB dumps will be available at the end of conceptual period: At the end of conceptual period all OB dumps will be used for backfilling the mined out area in 3.6794 ha for approx. avg.25-30 m depth thus no dumps will be left by the end of conceptual period (subject to exploration result). At the end of conceptual period, following OB will be generated- 22 RAM MILAN PATHAK RQP/DGMMP/078/2013 Proposed OB dumps i.e. 206012 m3 Approx. 80% intercalated waste will be generated in the conceptual period = 794750 m3. Thus total conceptual OB will be = (206012+794750) m3 = 1000762 m3 If the Marble finish after the carried out exploration then this OB will be used for backfilling conceptual pit. Generated waste during conceptual period will be used in conceptual backfilling; hence no waste will be available in conceptual period. V. CONCEPTUAL RECLAMATION AND REHABILITATION: Presently there is no mined out land within the applied area however after the carried out exploration if marble finishes depth wise then following reclamation and rehabilitation will be done. At the end of conceptual period available mined out land: 3.6794 ha Out of 3.6794 ha about 3.0 ha area will be backfilled for avg. 25-30 m i.e. conceptual waste/area 1000762/30000=33m (approx.) depth and rehabilitated by afforestation while rest area will be rehabilitated by bench afforestation for 0.40 ha and 1.500 ha will be rehabilitated by water reservoir for 30 m average depth. Water Reservoir At the end of mine life the existing pit will be rehabilitated by water reservoir: Area of water reservoir = 1.5 ha say 15000 m2 Volume of reservoir = 15000 m2 x 30m = 450000 m3 OPENCAST MINE SALIENT FEATURES OF THE MODE OF WORKING The proposed mining of Marble blocks will be carried out by making holes with LD-4 vertically and horizontally. Holes are matched for cutting purpose then diamond chain is put in to holes for cutting of blocks. The blocks will be sent from the mine site for further processing of slab cutting. Hired trucks/dumpers will be used for transportation of blocks from mine site and will be continued till the mining activity is carried out. Proposal and adoption of optimal mining procedure efforts will be made to increase the production. Proposed mining will be carried out by open cast 23 RAM MILAN PATHAK RQP/DGMMP/078/2013 mechanized mining method. Separate benches will be made in soil with weathered marble and marble. Soil and weathered rock will be removed using excavator with tipper combination will be dumped which will be development and production proper shape of pit will be developed which reach up to the 310m. During the proposed mining site services, DG room and separate lavatory for males and females will be maintained as it and plantation of 50 trees per annum will be done along the 7.5 m barrier zone of the lease area. (ii) LAYOUT MINE WORKING FOR FACES AND SIDE FOR DISPOSAL OF OVERBURDEN/WASTE Layout of mine working and sites for disposal of overburden and mine waste are shown in plate no. VI. Proposed mining will be carried out by open cast mechanized method using block-cutting machinery. Layout of proposed working along with sites for disposal of waste are shown in Plate no V.

5.0 BLASTING As such there is no requirement of blasting in block mining cases”, however sometimes OB is required to be removed with blasting hence essential bottom wire saw cut has been provided, and then blasting is done after drilling so that the area below bottom cut has negligible penetration of vibration affected due to blasting. (A) BROAD BLASTING PARAMETERS: PARAMETERS JACK HAMMER WAGON DRILL Spacing: 1 2 Burden: 1.2 3 Depth of Hole: 1.5 5 Length of cartridge: 200 MM 200 MM Weight of cartridge: 200 GM 200 GM Charge per hole: 1.6 KG (APPROX.) 8 KG (APPROX.) Powder Factor: 7 T/ KG 7 T/ KG Dia. of hole: 32mm 32 MM 100 MM (B) TYPE OF EXPLOSIVES USED/ TO BE USED (i) Ammonium Nitrate mixture with safety fuse (ii) Ordinary detonator. (iii) Gelatine. (C) POWDER FACTOR IN ORE AND OVERBURDEN: - Powder factor in Marble is varying from 5t/kg to 7t/kg hence for calculation purpose 7 tonnes per kg of explosive it is taken. Explosive Consumption Powder factor: 7t/ kg Yearly production (maximum): 10000m3 x 2.65 = 26500t 75% of excavation: 19875 t Average quantum of explosives to be required yearly = 19875/7 = about 2839kg Daily explosive = 2839/300 = 9.46 say 10 kg approx. D) WHETHER SECONDARY BLASTING IS NEEDED:- Secondary blasting will not be needed. 25 RAM MILAN PATHAK RQP/DGMMP/078/2013 STORAGE OF EXPLOSIVE:- It will be stored in a Magazine. PRECAUTION TO BE OBSERVED DURING DRILLING AND BLASTING:- Following precautions will be taken during blasting period. Sufficient warning is given by signal over the entire area falling within the danger zone & it is ensured that all persons within such area have taken proper shelter. Wet drilling is to be done in hand holes as well as jack hammer drilling. Suitable air respirator will be provided to drillers. During blasting, controlled blasting will be done and not more than six holes will be blasted at a time and no hole will be charged with more than 350/450 gm of explosives at a time. Muffle blasting will be done to prevent flying fragments, which may cause injury to local inhabitations within danger zone. Muffle blasting will be carried out by keeping sand filled bags on wire net placed on holes. Quality control: - In-spite of the fact that the color or dolerite variation in the production may arise, presently all the grades have good marketing. Any change in proposed method of mining and development of machinery: As discussed earlier, the mining in the area has to be done by semi- mechanized method with following machineries: 1. Drilling by Jackhammer drill/ wagon drill. 2. Disposal of mineral rejects from mining faces to stockyard to dumping yard by trucks & tippers. 3. Supply of drinking water to storage tank near mine faces; from well, by diesel operated pump. 4. Spraying of water on mine roads by water tankers.

6.0 MINE DRAINAGE: A) During the proposed mining, seepage of ground water will not affect the ongoing mining work because depth of ground water is about 40m below the surface level (mRL 310m). Rainwater may get accumulated in to the working pit, which will be dewatered using 10 hp diesel operated pump. B) QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF WATER LIKELY TO BE ENCOUNTERED THE PUMPING ARRANGEMENT AND PLACES WHERE THE MINE WATER IS FINALLY PROPOSED TO BE DISCHARGED: During the proposed mining due hilly area, seepage of ground water will not affect the mining work because depth of ground water is about 50 m below the surface level (MRL 310m). Although there will be some seepage water which will be dewatered by pump. Rain water and seepage may get accumulated in to working pit which will be dewatered using 2 - 3 diesel operated pumps of 10 hp i.e. having capacity to lift 10,000 litre/ hour with maximum head of 12 to 15 m. The discharged water will be passed through the settling tanks, where suspended particles will be settled before the discharging of water for agricultural use in surrounding agricultural land or it will be drained to the adjacent nala.

36 RAM MILAN PATHAK RQP/DGMMP/078/2013 II) AESTHETIC ENVIRONMENT AND TOURIST SPOTS (IF ANY) Proper development as per proposal will maintain the aesthetic environment. III) SOIL & LAND USE PATTERN: It is a Govt. Waste Land. IV) AGRICULTURE: It is a Waste Land. V) FOREST: No Forest Land. VI) VEGETATION: No vegetation. VII) PUBLIC BUILDINGS, PLACES AND MONUMENTS INCLUDING ARCHAELOGICAL SITES: There are no public buildings, places and monuments including archaeological sites in and around 500 m radius of the lease area. b) WATER ENVIRONMENT IMPACT OF MINING ON WATER ENVIRONMENT ON FOLLOWING HEADS: I) SURFACE WATER: From mines open to conceptual period mining activity will not interfere with water bodies and thus there is no chance of toxicity. II) GROUND WATER: Use of water for mining purpose will be around 1 KL for workers which will be managed from the lease area or nearby villages. III) WATER QUALITY: From mines open to the conceptual period the proposals are given above GWT, as per information received, which is about 40 m below the surface level (RL 195 m). Rainwater may get accumulated in to working pit, which will be dewatered using 10 hp diesel operated pump to the nearby agricultural land. In the area there is no water stream course or springs. The Marble is non-toxic in nature and will not affect the ground water quality. c) AIR ENVIRONMENT: Noise (ii) Air (iii) Climatic Condition IMPACT(i) OF MINING ACTIVITY ON AIR ENVIRONMENT SPECIFICALLY ON: Dust fall or precipitation rate & b) Respirable free silica

Ita) is anticipated that ongoing mining activity dust generation will be due to the movement of trucks and by mining activity like drilling, excavation etc. 37 RAM MILAN PATHAK RQP/DGMMP/078/2013 which may pollute the air to some extent but spraying of water on roads and bench faces before blasting and loading will control its generation. While keeping the production limit and nature of mineralization and proposed mining activity, the dust fall during the mining activity will be transitory and under manageable norms by providing the dust masks to the workers and suitable air respiratory to drillers. Further keeping the previous experience there was no as such respirable free silica reported and however in the ensuing year mining activity it is anticipated that with preventive measures there should not be any respirable free silica problem and proposed parameters under air quality survey will take care of such respirable free silica. A. FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO AIR POLLUTION As earlier said mining activity dust generation will be due to the movement of trucks and by mining activity which may pollute the air to some extent but spraying of water on roads and bench faces before blasting and loading will control its generation. B. Sources of their generation like, 1. Dust: 1. Traffic & Transport 2. Drilling, blasting 3. Loading 4. Waste dumps This will be contained within permissible limit by spraying water on road and providing avenue plantation. Like sharp bits and dust collectors providing dust masks to operators, water infusion of benches before and after drilling and sowing of grass seeds in the air borne area. NOISE LEVEL It will be created by movement of trucks/ dumpers, drilling etc. However noise generated by these will be occurring at very low level as it being a small nature of working. VIBRATION LEVEL (DUE TO BLASTING) Such as no blasting is proposed, small blasting will be done for healing purpose hence vibration due to blasting is not considered.

38 RAM MILAN PATHAK RQP/DGMMP/078/2013 d) SOCIO-ECONOMICS There will be no adverse impact of mining but up to some extent socio- economic environment of the area will improve as, the mining activity has already given the job security & job opportunities for the local people. Further the applicant will provide occupational health and safety by providing regular medical checkup and medicine distribution. Further the Applicant will provide the recreational facility at the local people permissible demand. Proposed mining operations may improve the financial status of the local people. There are no historical monuments in and around 500 m radius of the lease area. Except few huts, there are no public building, places and monuments including archaeological sites in and around 500 m radius of the quarry leases area. 11.

43 RAM MILAN PATHAK RQP/DGMMP/078/2013 (c) Production level: Please refer Chapter-4. 13.2.4 Mineral Beneficiation: Only sizing and sorting of mineral is done as per consumer specification. 13.3.0 Review of implementation of mining plan/Plan of mining including five years progressive mine closure plan upto the final closure of mine: It is a case of fresh grant of mining lease review of implementation is not required plan of mining including five years and progressive mine closure plan has been given in chapter-4 & 13. 13.4.0 Closure Plan: 13.4.1Mined out land: There is no mined out land at present as well as end of five years plan period. Details are as follows 13.4.2 Water quality Management: (a) Surface and ground water body:- There is no river, nalla or any surface water source in the lease area. There is ground water source available in the lease area. Due to simple and small scale of opencast manual mining, erosion, sedimentation, siltation and water treatment is not expected. There is a drain following towards north which drains the pumped out water. The pumped eater is mostly utilized for irrigation purpose. Since there is no water course in the lease area, diversion will not be required. There is no toxic element in and around the applied area. Hence contamination of any nature is not expected for surface or any ground water source. The scale of mining is low and hence the above factors have no role to play. The water found in the buffer zone is possible. (b) Hydrological study:- The ground water table in the lease varies from 195m RL. Mining will be done above general ground water table. Hence ground water table will not be affected. The water seeps in to the ground through different water channels. The behavior of ground water table has been noticed to be uniform. Main source of water supply in the different villages of study area 44 RAM MILAN PATHAK RQP/DGMMP/078/2013 is well, small pond and tube wells therefore accumulated water and proposed pond will be able to recharge of local water bodies. (c) Acid mine drainage:- Acid mine drainage is produced wherever a mine of any type, impermeable formations interacts with the water table, aquifer, perched water body or where surface water finds its way into a mine in terrains where sulphides (Particularly pyrites) are present in the ore or country rock. Among objectionable features of the acid mine drainage are low pit and high levels of sulphides, iron and total dissolved solid. These deplete the oxygen levels in water, increase the toxicity by rendering heavy metals soluble, and create corrosion problems. There is no sulphide in the country rock, hence problems of acid mine drainage is irrelevant in the mine. 13.4.3 Air quality management:- The air quality in the lease area as well as in the nearby buffer zone is well below the permissible limits. Promulgated limit Present in the applied area S.P.M 500 µg/m3 115-235 µg/m3

SO2 200 µg/m3 6-4 µg/m3 NOx 200 µg/m3 6-16 µg/m3 The air may be polluted due to generation of dust by plying of vehicles. In this case frequency of running of vehicles is also very less hence pollution due to it will be very less. The dust generated due to plying of vehicles will be nullified by sprinkling of water on approach road. 13.4.4. Waste management:- (a) Type quality and quantity of OB and mineral rejects:- Refer Chapter-6 of the mining plan (b) Disposal & utilization of OB and mine waste:- Refer Chapter-6 of the mining plan (c) Protective measures:- No toxic and hazardous element is present in the OB as well as in the ore body. Hence not toxic contamination is expected and such no protective measure is required. In the form of protective measured protective wall along with garland drain will be made around the dumps and a settling tank will be made to protected the water before discharge. 45 RAM MILAN PATHAK RQP/DGMMP/078/2013 13.4.5 Top Soil Management:- Refer Chapter-6 & 9.1 of the Plan of Mining. 13.4.6 Tailing dam Management:- No mineral beneficiation is carried our in the lease area. Hence no tailing will be created. 13.4.7 Infrastructure:- The entire necessary infrastructure will be developed as and when required like office, site services, lavatory etc. 13.1.8 Disposal of Mining Machinery:- It is a fresh grant of lease hence at this stage there is no requirement of disposal of machinery. 13.4.9 Safety and Security: The non-active sides of the working mine will be suitable fenced and access to surface opening will be prohibited. The mine will be suitably guarded and any approach to mine will be restricted and prohibited. 13.4.10 Disaster Management and Risk Assessment:- The lease area comes under seismic zone –III. Land side, subsidence is not expected in view of the opencast mining. No river is near the lease area and hence flood is not expected. Since opencast mining lease has been proposed, problems related with underground mines is not applicable. In case of eventually, first aid will be given by the competent authority initially to the injures person. The competent person/Mines Manager or Mining Engineer will give notice of accident as per Rule-23 of Mines Act, 1952. The person/competent authorities named above will be responsible for co- ordinations between management and District Authorities/DGMS etc. regarding general safety as per Rule, 181 of MMR, 1961, “No person shall negligently or will fully omit to do anything necessary for the safety of the mine or of the persons employed there in”. The workers will be provided with protective foot wear and safety helmets. 13.4.11 Care & Maintenance during Temporary Discontinuance:- Proper care and maintenance will be taken during temporary discontinuance mine faces at top will be suitably fenced or parapet will be made in order to avoid any cattle fall or accident in the mines during the 46 RAM MILAN PATHAK RQP/DGMMP/078/2013 course of temporary discontinuances. The mine will be properly guarded by employing security guards. 13.5.0 Economic repercussions of closure of mine and manpower retrenchments:- Not required it is a fresh case of grant mining lease, hence there is no closure of mine at this stage. No permanent labor is employed in the mine. Mainly local agricultural labors are employed in the mine. On average the labor employment will be uniform & the employees will remain same. No man power retrenchment will be done during the ensuring Progressive Mine Closure Plan period. No socio-economic repercussions are envisaged as such. On the other hand due to employment given to local residents, socio-economic awareness & upliftment will take place. Also the poverty will reduce. As stated earlier the mine will not be closed during the ensuring period & it will be on small scale only. 13.6.0 Time scheduling for Reclamation and Rehabilitation:- No abandonment of any activity is expected during the ensuring PMCP period within the lease areas. However a projected time scheduling of major activity related mining, closure, reclamation & rehabilitation has been given in table appended here with. 13.7.0 Reclamation and Rehabilitation:- The cost envisaged based on the activities required for implementing the protective and Rehabilitation measures including their maintenance and monitoring is given in the table in last chapter no. 9. 13.8.0 Financial Assurance:- As per the rule mine owner will submitted Rs. 75,000 (Seventy five thousand rupees only) as financial assurance in favor of competent authorities at the time of lease agreement/before starting the mines. 13.9.0 Certificate:-

A Certificate and undertaking regarding Mine Closure Plan has been appended herewith. 13.10.0 Plans, Section etc.:- Plan and Sections is enclosed (refer plate no…….)
