Page - 1 (PUBLIC HEARING DOCUMENT) Summary of EIA/EMP for Batura OC 3.0 MTPA 1.0 INTRODUCTION: 1.1 Purpose of the project: Batura OC is a green field coal mining project for a normative production capacity of 2.00 Mty. SECL board approved the project for a normative capacity of 2.00 Mty and a peak production capacity of 3.00 Mty on 09/09/2008 with an initial capital of Rs.203.82 Crores. The proposed new project falls under the administrative control of Sohagpur Area of SECL.The Project Report is based on the “Geological Report on Batura Block” prepared by CMPDI in Feb 2007. Total four coal horizons with average thickness varying from 0.1m to 4.63m have been considered in the Project report. Total extractable reserves have been estimated as 33.44 Mty and OB as 307.09 Mty. The average stripping ratio works out to 9.18 Cum/tonne. To fulfil the countries need of power generation, CIL has to produce coal of 1 BT in 2019-20 in which the contribution of SECL has been planned as 239 Mte. For the purpose of meeting coal demand, Batura opencast project has been identified as one of the project that can provide for the increased coal demands of the nation by providing a coal production of normative 2.00 Million tons per year and peak 3.00 Million tons per year. 1.2 Location: The Batura OC Block located in the western part of Sohagpur Coalfield; lies in Village- Khanda, Tahsil- Annuppur, District- Annuppur and about 12 Km north of Annuppur town and about 55Km south-west of Shahdol, the district headquarters. Sharda OC is the nearest working mine situated at a distance of 6 Km on the west of the block. The block is situated on the eastern side of the Son River where only the seams have been proved in detail. The area is bounded approximately by North latitudes 230 12’ 10’’ and 230 14’ 10’’ East longitude 810 41’28’’ and 810 43’ 20’’. The area is covered in the Survey of India Toposheet No. 64 E/12 (RF 1: 50,000) Page - 2 (PUBLIC HEARING DOCUMENT) Summary of EIA/EMP for Batura OC 3.0 MTPA 1.3 Communication: The area is well connected by rail and road. The Bilaspur- Katni branch line of S.E.C Railway passes mostly through the southern part of Sohagpur Coalfield. The nearest railhead, Anuppur, is a junction from where the Anuppur- Bilaspur & Anuppur- Bishrampur lines branch off, and is about 12 Km south of Batura-I block. A metalled road branching off from Shahdol- Manendragarh State Highway No. 14 at a distance of approx. 8 Km from Anuppur, runs almost south to north direction from the central part of the Block. 1.4 Scope of the study: GSI and CMPDI have carried out detailed geological exploration in the block. In total 141 boreholes have been drilled in 8.651 sq. Km of the block with borehole density of 16.3 boreholes / Sq. km. Baseline environmental data in respect of micro meteorological data, air, water, soil quality data, and noise level data have been generated by M/s Edward Food Research and Analysis Centre (EFRAC), Kolkata (A MoEF & CC Recognized and NABL Accredited Environment Laboratory). Meteorological and rainfall data are based upon Umaria Meteorological Observatory, Umaria and Central water Commission Station, Manendragarh respectively. The socio economic data in respect of population statistics, economic profile, work force pattern, civic amenities, land use pattern etc. is based upon data generated by M/s SARDA Consultants, Ramgarh .Ranchi Jharkhand. The Flora and fauna details in core and buffer zone is based upon data generated by M/s/ VRDS Consultants, Chennai. The ground water data have been collected from District Groundwater Survey Unit, Shahdol, at the nearest permanent hydrograph stations, Burhar and Patna villages. 1.2 Project description: 1.2.1 Need for the Project: Liberation of power sector by Govt. of India has generated wide spread interests private & public sector investments in power generation and other industrial development. As such, there is an appreciable increase in the number of upcoming new projects as well as expansion of existing projects. The demand projection of coal nationally as well as from CIL/SECL is increasing rapidly. Hence, a road map has been prepared to meet the demand. CIL has to produce nearly 1 billion ton in 2019-20 in which SECL has to share 239 MT. Page - 3 (PUBLIC HEARING DOCUMENT) Summary of EIA/EMP for Batura OC 3.0 MTPA 1.2.3 Description of Coal Seams: A study of drill hole data reveals presence of three coal seams viz. Seam-III, Seam-II & Seam-I in the Batura OC block in descending order. Out of these three coal seams, Seam-III (combined) is found to occur in few areas confined to the central part of the block. However, a split in Seam III as Top, Middle, Bottom, is observed in few areas in north-eastern part of the block of unworkable thickness. However, coal seams II & I are persistent throughout the block in cropping in the southern most part extending almost E-W. Seam-II & I got workable thickness in the entire block. In addition to the aforesaid coal seams few local coal bands have been found developed in the upper part of Seam-II & I and named as L1 & L2 respectively. 1.2.4 Reserve: The total mineable reserves within the quarry have been estimated as 33.44Mt with a corresponding O.B. volume of 307.08 Mcum. The sector-wise mineable reserves, volume of OBR and stripping ratio are summarised in the following table Table-1.1 Coal SEC 1 SEC 2 SEC 3 SEC 4 SEC 5 SEC 6 SEC 7 TOTAL IIIB 0.13 0.67 0.06 0.07 0.12 1.05 L1 0.07 0.20 0.50 0.26 0.48 0.18 1.69 II 0.04 1.32 1.98 3.86 2.10 2.93 2.93 15.16 I 0.37 0.82 1.36 3.98 2.37 3.44 3.20 15.54 Total Coal 0.41 2.21 3.67 9.01 4.79 6.92 6.43 33.44 OB TOPOB 7.07 13.14 20.85 33.28 19.77 27.77 32.13 154.01 Parting bet. 1.38 5.42 1.56 4.79 4.04 17.19 IIIB-L1 Parting bet. 1.01 3.84 7.39 2.94 6.77 7.45 29.40 L1-II Parting bet. 0.18 7.97 13.03 22.95 14.29 22.79 25.28 106.48 II-I Total OB 7.25 22.12 39.10 69.04 38.56 62.12 68.90 307.08 SR 17.68 10.01 10.65 7.66 8.05 8.98 10.72 9.18 1.2.5 Geo-mining characteristics: The geological and mining characteristics of the quarry have been summarised in table-1.2.

  • Effect of UG Coal Mines on the Soil Quality of Sohagpur Area of Shahdol MP, India
    International Journal of Recent Trends in Science And Technology, P-ISSN 2277-2812 E-ISSN 2249-8109 Special Issue, ACAEE: 2018 pp 525-530 Original Research Article Effect of UG coal mines on the soil quality of sohagpur area of Shahdol MP, India Mamta Prajapati*, Nahida Begum**, Balram Prajapati*** *Assistant Professor Department of Chemistry, Pt. S.N.S. Govt. P.G. College Shahdol, Madhya Pradesh, INDIA. **Research Scholar, Pt. S.N.S. Govt. P.G. College Shahdol, Madhya Pradesh, INDIA. ***Government Girls High. Sec. School Burhar, Distt-Shahdol, Madhya Pradesh, INDIA. Abstract This paper deals with the studies on soil quality parameters of Shagpur area of Shahdol affected by acid mine drainage of coal mines from January 2016 to March 2016. Discriminant analysis on normalised major and trace element data of soil, mining site samples suggested a clear discrimination between chemical data of soil, ore and phyllite samples. It has been observed that the soil quality in mostly affected areas have relatively pH (6 ± 7.3), low nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) content, organic carbon (0.30 ± 1.50) and which has decreased gradually from coalmine unaffected and affected areas. Certain heavy metals in high concentration (Fe, Zn, and B) were also detected from soil of the area. Soil damage and environment degradation during surface mining is inevitable as vegetation and top soil have to be removed and waste rocks are to be shifted to a new location. Mining leads to loss of grazing and fertile land, soil erosion, sedimentation or siltation, danger to aquatic life, damage to flora and fauna as well as water and soil pollution.

  • Year End Review 2020- Ministry of Coal Coal Sector Reforms
    Firefox https://pib.gov.in/PressReleasePage.aspx?PRID=1685058 Ministry of Coal Year End Review 2020- Ministry of Coal Coal Sector Reforms introduced ease of doing business while retaining transparency Commercial coal mine auctions: 19 blocks successfully auctioned in November 2020 Ministry along with stakeholders is actively pursuing to achieve Import Substitution Progressing towards 1 Billion Tonne Coal Production First Mile Connectivity: Ease of living in coal mine areas Diversification: NLCIL ventures into new sectors Green initiatives such as CBM exploitation and surface coal gasification taken up Posted On: 31 DEC 2020 2:56PM by PIB Delhi Coal Reforms-Background India is currently producing about 729 million tonnes of coal. However, it is a fact that domestic production is not able to meet the demand of coal in the country. India has imported 247 million tonnes of coal last year and had spent 1.58 lakh crore as foreign exchange. Despite India being world’s second largest coal producer and being the 5th largest country in terms of coal deposits, with coal reserves which may last at least 100 years more, the country is unable to produce adequate quantity of coal to meet the requirement of domestic industry and development. It is the intention of the Government of India to bring faster economic development to the aspiring regions of the country. Since these States are resource rich, harnessing of these resources is critical in the development of these States. Commercial auction of coal mines alongwith transparent measures taken by the Government of India has come at an opportune time to bridge the mismatch between the demand and supply of coal in the country.
