4 ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN PARTICULARS MANAGEMENT

Air Quality Excavation, Dust generated due to drilling, blasting and Loading and vehicular movements will be suppressed by water Transportation spraying on haul road. To avoid the dust generation from the drilling operations wet drilling method will be practiced.

Drill machines will be fitted with dust collectors.

Use of appropriate explosives for blasting.

Controlled blasting techniques will be practiced.

Dust mask will be provided to the workers.

Proper maintenance of vehicles & machineries will be done.

Water sprinkling on the haul road and other road at regular intervals will be done.

Speed of the vehicles will be kept within the prescribed limits.

Dumpers will not be over loaded. Water Quality Sewage w ill be generated by employing 20 workers in the mine which will be diverted into a septic tank followed by soak pit.

Garland drains will be made around the mining area to channelize surface run off into natural drainage pit so that it can be utilized for dust suppression.

Mining operations will be at higher levels; therefore there will be no effect on ground water condition due to mining. Noise Quality Drilling, Adequate silencers in all the diesel operated Blasting, vehicles will be used. Loading and unloading of Personnel protective equipment will be provided Mineral and to the workers/employed persons. movement of Trucks. Proper maintenance of machines at regular intervals will be done.

Green belt development and plantation.

Solid Waste Waste generated during mining operation will be stacked separately in the boundary barrier and will be stabilized by plantation.

Small amount of domestic waste will be generated for which dustbin will be kept at proper place and it will be disposed properly and regularly.

9. Analysis of proposal (final recommendations) i. Financial and social benefits with special emphasis on the benefit to the local people including tribal population, if any, in the area: No tribal population is residing in the study area. There will be social benefits from the mining operations. The core benefit of the proposed expansion is the availability of stone for development project.
