Form-1 Application for Mines in Cluster No. 8 for EC Modification, Eastern Coalfields Limited ====================================================================== FORM - 1 (I) Basic Information 1 Name of the project Modification of EC as per revised mining plan for Cluster No. 8 comprising 7 mines of ECL in Raniganj Coalfield having total leasehold area of 8281.0 Ha and capacity of 2.75 MTY. Note: EC has been granted for Cluster No. 8 on 19 – 03 – 2015 for 7 (seven) mines for a capacity of 2.75 MTY and total leasehold area of 8281.0 Ha. Need for EC Modification In view of the production target set by CIL, a re-assessment of mine capacities has been carried out for the cluster while keeping the overall cluster capacity and area unchanged. This re-assessment / rationalization has been done based on present condition and capability of the mines for achieving optimum production levels. Hence, amendment of EC is sought in line with the revised mining plan. 2 S.No. in the schedule 1 (a) 3 Proposed capacity / area / Total No. of Mines : 7 (seven) length / tonnage to be handled / Coal Production Capacity : 2.75 MTY command area / lease area / Cluster Area (Leasehold) : 8281.0 Ha number of Note: There is no change sought in the overall cluster parameters. wells to be drilled However, capacities of individual mines have been re-assessed as shown in table at Sl.

The remaining water is either discharged into local nallahs or is used for irrigation of agricultural land. The quarries also serve as water reservoirs for community use like bathing, washing etc. Industrial Waste Water: Waste water generated from the workshop and HEMM washing needs to be routed through O & G traps and the other waste water can be discharged after settling of suspended particulates for irrigation / into local nallahs. Domestic Waste Water: Domestic waste water generated is routed to soak-pits. Solid Waste in the form of OB is dumped externally and then re- handled and backfilled into the OC voids. Since the OB material is mostly shale and sandstone, no treatment is needed.
