CHAPTER 3 : GEOLOGY AND RESERVES
3.1 Physiography :
The area granted for mining is a private land with slight undulating and flat topped topography. It is the part of Deccan plateau of the Indian peninsula and has a mean altitude of 312 m above mean sea level. Co-ordinate of the mining lease is latitude -21000'27.5" N, longitude -79008 54.9"E.
and fall in Survey of India toposheet No. 55 O/4. The surface plan of the area is given at Plate III.
Area is located in the centre of Indian peninsula and has a tropical wet and dry climate with dry condition prevailing for most of the year. The area has a hot summer and general dryness throughout the year with minimum temperature of 100c and maximum temperature of 480C.
3.2 Regional Geology :
Archeans and the Deccan Trap basalt are the two consolidated formations, which form the hard rock aquifers occurring in the area. Archeans comprising of Gneiss, Schist, Pegmatite and Quartzite occurring in the north-eastern and south-eastern part of the Nagpur district. Deccan traps basalt is the main formation of the area of upper cretaceous to lower Eocene age. Beside these Gondwana sediments and Lemeta beds are also occurring in the area on regional scale. The regional stratigraphic sequence in the region is as follows:
Age Lithology Recent, sub-recent Lateritic Black-Brownish black soil, sand etc. Upper Cretaceous to Lower Basaltic lavas flows (Deccan Trap Basalt) Eocene Archean Gneiss, Schist, Pegmatite and Quartzite
Shantanu Puranik RQP/NGP/500/2014 9 Mining Plan for Khasra No 18/1 at Village- Salai Menda, Tahsil -Umred, District -Nagpur
3.3 Local Geology:
The entire area of the lease is covered with Deccan Trap Basalt. Simple basaltic flows are the dominant lithology exposed in the area. The overall thickness of the lava pile is limited with an average of 200 mtrs. thickness. The upper half a meter is made of soil which has variable thickness. Further down the rock is highly to moderately fracture and fallowed by hard compact basaltic flow of black or grayish black in colour. The Geological Plan and Geological Sections are given at Plate IV. The section shows :
Soil & Murrum Zone 0.5 m. Moderatly fractured & 60 mts. Black hard Basalt
3.4 PROSPECTING / EXPLORATION WORK DONE TO DATE VIZ GEOLOGICAL MAPPING WITH THE EVIDENCE ALREADY EXISTING ABOUT THE MINERAL DEPOSIT IN THE AREA OR IN THE VICNITY :
3.4.1 Topographic survey
The area was earlier traversed to demarcate the exposures of basalt to examine the suitability and availability of rock in the area. The area of around 1.20 Ha was covered by surface topographical survey with the help of Total Station The odolite. This area of 1.20 Ha has been demarcated for mining lease application. The surface topographical plan of this 1.20 Ha is prepared separately with all the existing surface features on a scale of 1:500 (Refer Plate III).
3.4.2 Geological Mapping
Topographical survey and geological mapping of the area were carried out simultaneously to demarcate the outcrops of the basalt. As per the data of geological mapping of the area, data obtained from existing pit/quarry and also data collected from the bore well and dug well of the nearby villages reveals that
Shantanu Puranik RQP/NGP/500/2014 10 Mining Plan for Khasra No 18/1 at Village- Salai Menda, Tahsil -Umred, District -Nagpur
the entire area is covered with deposition of basalt. As such further prospecting is not required in the area. However, a borehole was drilled for meeting the water requirements of the mining activities within the lease. This borehole was drilled for 76m depth and a borehole litholog is depicted in Figure A. The nearby stone quarries used for observation of soil profile.
3.5 EXPLORATION PROPOSED TO BE CARRIED OUT YEAR WISE, FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS INDICATING SAME ON THE GEOLOGICAL PLAN.
Since the basalt flows are exposed on the surface and in some of the existing pits in the area and also data collected from the bore well and dug well of the nearby villages reveals that the entire area is covered with deposition of basalt, detailed prospecting is not required in the area. Hence, further exploration in next five years has not been proposed in the area by the applicant.
3.6 GIVE ESTIMATES OF GEOLOGICAL RESERVES ALONG-WITH GRADE UNDER PROVED, PROBABLE AND POSSIBLE CATEGORIES BY STANDARD METHOD OF ESTIMATION SUPPORTED BY ANALYTICAL REPORTS:
3.6.1 Estimation of Geological Reserves
The Geological mapping of the outcrops, existing pits and also data obtained from the dug well, bore well at around and nearby villages, facilitated to get the actual shape and size of the deposit in the applied area. Depth persistency of the deposit is also concluded by data obtained from the dug well and bore well in the area. Majority of the bore well in the nearby villages was drilled up to a depth of 60-70 mts. and reserves up to the said depth can be considered as Proved Reserves. Geological Mapping of the area was carried out by RQP during first week of August 2015. Presence of Deccan Trap basalt has been confirmed as surface exposures and also observed in nearby nalla cuttings and dug wells of nearby villages.
Shantanu Puranik RQP/NGP/500/2014 11 Mining Plan for Khasra No 18/1 at Village- Salai Menda, Tahsil -Umred, District -Nagpur
3.6.2 Method of Estimation of Reserves
The deposit is exposed on the surface and also covering the entire lease area, which is very well proved by data obtained from the Geological mapping of the outcrops, existing pits and also data obtained from the dug well and bore well at around and nearby the mining lease area. The area occupied by the deposit is considered for the estimation of reserves. Both area factor method and cross- sectional area method is adopted to estimate the reserves. Since, basalt is exposed on the surface and covering the entire lease area, the reserves can be considered in Proved category. As the mining lease area is very small and there is no sub-grade material and also basalt is a minor mineral. As per UNFC classification the reserves are categorized under (111) category.
Reserves Estimation
A) Area Method
The reserves estimation for the soil/overburden and basalt as per area factor method is as below
1) Soil/overburden
Area Thickness Volume ( m2) (m ( m3) 5283 0.5 2642
2) Basalt
Area Thickness Volume Bulk Reserves ( m2) (m ( m3) density (tonne) 12100 36 435600 2.9 1263240
Shantanu Puranik RQP/NGP/500/2014 12 Mining Plan for Khasra No 18/1 at Village- Salai Menda, Tahsil -Umred, District -Nagpur
B) Cross-sectional Method
The reserves estimation for the soil/overburden and basalt as per Cross- sectional method is as below:
Sectional Sectional Reserves of Volume in Section Area Influence Basalt (m3) (m2) (m) (tonnes) A-A’ 12100 200 435600 1263240
3.6.3 Categorization of Estimated Reserves
Since the basalt flows are exposed on the surface and in some of the existing pits in the area and depth persistency of the basalt is proved up to a depth of 40 mts. by data obtained from the bore well within the lease and also reported from borewells/ dug well of the nearby villages, hence all the estimated reserves were placed under Proved category. As per UNFC classification the reserves are categorized under (111) category.
3.6.4 Mineable Reserves
The total in-situ reserves of basalt available in the applied lease area are 1263240 tonne i.e 1.26 million tonnes. All the in-situ reserves established will not be exploited, so as to carry out mining or to extract these reserves following mining statutory provisions are to be considered.
1. A statutory boundary of 7.5 mts. all along the applied mining lease has to be maintained and reserves locked in this barrier zone are not exploited. 2. A bench slope of 450 has been considered for the working pit. 3. A bench of 6 mts. width and 6 mts. height has been considered. 4. There must be ramps for reaching the different benches.
Shantanu Puranik RQP/NGP/500/2014 13 Mining Plan for Khasra No 18/1 at Village- Salai Menda, Tahsil -Umred, District -Nagpur
Therefore, the mineable reserves after considering the above factors are as below.-
Total Geological Resources upto 36 m depth = 1263240 Tonnes
Reserves left within safety Zone = 343372 Tonnes
Actual Mineable Reserves = 919868 Tonnes
Less ore blocked between ultimate pit slopes = 229967 Tonnes
Excavated Quantity of material = 368323 Tonnes
Thus,
The total mineable reserves available in the lease area = 321578 Tonnes
This mineable reserves would be extracted from the applied lease area up to a depth of 36 mts.
3.6.5 Mine life : The proponent has planned to extract – 35000 Tonne/Year. Thus the mineable reserves in the applied lease area will last for 9 years.
3.7 GRADESOFBASALT
The mineral composition of the basalt in terms of standards normative minerals calculated from the composition gives the following results as the norms of Deccan Traps Basalt
Minerals % Quartz 4.14 Orthoclase 4.45 Albite 22.01 Anorthite 23.07 Diopside 17.41 Hypersthene 17.78 Magnetite 4.64 Illmenite 3.65 Apatite 1.01

Shantanu Puranik RQP/NGP/500/2014 14 Mining Plan for Khasra No 18/1 at Village- Salai Menda, Tahsil -Umred, District -Nagpur
In chemical characters also the basalts shows great uniformity in composition. The abundance of basalt in the area and its constantly growing demand for their units has prompted the entrepreneur to apply for the mining lease and to set up a crusher in the area. Looking to the increased requirement of basalt the applicant is acquiring the area under Mining Lease. Also, building material contractors have also approached the applicant for supply of basalt on regular basis. There is no gradation on the basis of chemical and physical composition.

Fifth 0 11886 11292 Nil 594 Nil
Total 2592 59430 56459 Nil 2972 Nil
The year wise production plan for the 5 year is given at Plate V. The production sections for the 5 year is given at Plate VI. The conceptual plan is given on Plate VII.
4.2 Proposed rate of Production when the mine is fully developed:
Due to the proposed development to maintain the overall pit slope at 45o and necessary corrections and modifications as suggested by the Mining Inspectors, in the first year the production rate will be less and the highest production proposed is around 35,000 tonnes per year as on average production.
4.3 Proposed method of mining
Mining will be carried out by opencast semi-mechanized drilling blasting method. The mining method involves the following operations:
Shantanu Puranik RQP/NGP/500/2014 16 Mining Plan for Khasra No 18/1 at Village- Salai Menda, Tahsil -Umred, District -Nagpur
i) Removal of upper morrumic soil, weathered basalt, wherever available and stacking it at the dumping site earmarked in the mining plan. ii) Mining of moderately fractured, black color hard basalt and its proper sizing, sorting and stacking.
Opencast Workings: Each cycle of operation shall consists of removal of morramic soil, weathered basalt wherever present, followed by extraction of the black hard basalt subject to the following conditions being strictly complied with:
• Quarrying operations shall be conducted from Top to bottom level. • No person shall be engaged on work or allowed to travel close to high sides/benches, unless he is provided with safety belt or rope. • A safety zone of 7.5 m of barrier will be maintained. • At surface all along the lease boundary vegetation growth will be generated to isolate mining operations from rest of the area. • The surface drainage channels governing the water drainage of the area will be maintained by proper garland drains to collect the water at the periphery of excavation and discharge the same at natural outlets by passing the excavation. • Wherever top morramic soil is excavated would be stacked properly for the use of plantation.
4.4 Extent of Mechanization
It is already mentioned that the mining operation is proposed to be of opencast semi-mechanized mining. Blast hole drilling will be carried out by compressed air operated LM 100 Crawler Mounted drills and blasting by slurry explosive and detonators to break the hard and compact basalt. Rock Breaker will be used for secondary breaking of basalt, if any. Excavation and loading will be done through excavator/poclain-PC 200 at the mine site. For transportation of basalt tippers will be used. During the mining operation, a bench height of 6 mts. and width of 6
Shantanu Puranik RQP/NGP/500/2014 17 Mining Plan for Khasra No 18/1 at Village- Salai Menda, Tahsil -Umred, District -Nagpur
mts. will be maintained. The mine will be developed by deploying the following equipments/machines.
S.No. Type of machinery Capacity Nos. 1) Excavator/Poclain PC-200 0.90 cu. mts. 1 2) Tractor mounted air compressor - 1 3) Drill machine LM-100 100 mm size hole 1 4) Rock Breaker 600 kg Hammer 1 5) Tippers 20 Tonne 5 6) Tractor mounted water tanker 3000 lt 1
4.5 Drilling
The overburden surface bench is likely to be comprised of soil and muromic basalt and hence does not require any blasting and can be taken out by digging. Basalt is hard rock and it cannot be removed without drilling and blasting. The holes will be drilled by drill machine in row. The spacing between the two holes will be 4.0 m, the burden will be 3.0 m, the depth of the holes will be 6 m and the diameter of holes will be 100 mm.
4.6 Loading
It is already mention that the mining operation will be of semi- mechanized nature, loading will be through excavator. Basalt after blasting will be fragmented as per requirement. Thereafter it will be loaded to tippers/tractors for onwards dispatch to the crushing unit.
4.7 Haulage and Transport
It is a small mine, transportation and haulage of basalt will be carried out by tippers within quarry and onwards dispatches will be by tippers.
Shantanu Puranik RQP/NGP/500/2014 18 Mining Plan for Khasra No 18/1 at Village- Salai Menda, Tahsil -Umred, District -Nagpur
CHAPTER 5 : BLASTING
Mining operation will be carried out to maintain the production rate of around 35,000 tonnes per month. The future production will also be in the same range. Due this blasting parameters will be simple and requirement of explosives will also be less. Details of blasting parameters are given in the following table:
5.1 Details of blasting parameters
Depth and diameter of hole = 6.0 m depth, and 100 mm dia.
Blasting pattern = Multi-row blasting
Spacing between the holes = 4.0 m
Burden vertically between the holes = 3.0 m
Charge per hole = 30 kg of slurry explosive along with detonator
Powder Factor = 6 to 7 tonnes per kg explosives
Charge per hole = 2.175 kg of slurry/AN explosive along with detonator No. of holes to be blasted/day = 13 holes The blasting will be carried out twice in a week and no. of holes blasted will be about 60 at a time. The total explosive consumption in a month will be around 8500 Kg will be used per month.
5.2 Types of Explosives to be used : Basalt is medium to hard rock and as such light charges of slurry explosive with detonators will be used for breaking the rock formation.
5.3 Secondary Blasting : Secondary blasting if needed during the mining operation than rock breaker will be used.
5.4 Storage and handling of Explosives: The explosive will be handled as per the provisions of Indian explosive act for the procurement and transportation.

CHAPTER 6 : MINE DRAINAGE
The lease area is having top flattered and slightly undulating topography. There are no water sources in the area from which inherent seepage of water could occurs and for this reason the area does not require any specific mine drainage patterns.
Briefly outline the proposed strategies (if any) for protection of the following:
a) River courses: There is no perennial river either in the lease area or in 5 km around the lease area. b) Nallas: There is no seasonal nalla existing in the lease area.
c) Water tanks : There are no water tanks/ reservoir in the lease area.
d) Village/house/hutments/agreements There is no public/human settlement agricultural lands: within the lease area and area is surrounded by stone quarries.

CHAPTER 7: DISPOSAL OF WASTE
7.1 Nature of Waste
In the lease area the basalt is moderately fractured and black hard in nature. It is expected that there will be less generation of solid waste during mining. The top morramic soil and weathered, fractured basalt will be handled separately. It is anticipated that 95% will be recovered from this solid waste as basalt boulders and leaving behind the soil and weathered basalt, which will be used for making approach road, ramp and bund within the lease. Soil will be used for road, filling and also for plantation all along the safety zone.
7.2 Selection of Dumping Sites.
Soil will be used for road, filling and also for plantation all along the barrier zone. The waste will be removed and dumped separately in the earmarked area shown on 5 year Production Plan.
7.3 Stacking of Sub-grade material
The Basalt is homogenous rock and hence there will not be any generation of sub-grade material during mining operations. Therefore, there is no consideration for staking of sub-grade material.

CHAPTER 9 : SURFACE TRANSPORT
Transportation of basalt will be carried out from mining lease to the crusher through tippers. Also, dumping and dispatch to the units will be carried out through the tippers.
CHAPTER 10 : SITE SERVICES
Site services can be classified in following categories:
Statutory Obligations
Maintenance requirements
Statutory Obligation: These facilities include first aid station, rest shelter, drinking water etc. at the mine site. The lease area is small and hence the first aid facilities will be kept at mine office, which will also serve as first aid station and rest shelter. Clean potable water will also be kept at the site office for everybody use.
Maintenance requirement: The method of mining proposed is semi-mechanized opencast. The minimum machinery deployed are Excavator/proclain, compressor with LM-100 drill for blast hole, tippers etc. which will be used on hired basis. If maintenance at all requires, the machines/ vehicles will be taken to nearby village garages for repair & maintenance.
Administrative requirement: For this purpose, a site office will be constructed.

12.2 ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT STATEMENT
The proposed mining method is of opencast nature and the lease area is not so big. The possible impact on environment is discussed in the following chapter. The area does not fall (either partly of fully) under Notified areas under Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974.
12.2.1 Land Environment 1) Landscape : The area is a mildly undulating and is barren. Mining in this area will create terraced slope area. Due to hard nature rock, the area will be systematically mined with forming of number of benches with proper gradient and over all pit slope is maintained 450 which gives stability.
2) Aesthetic Environment
The basalt will be extracted with scientific system by developing number of benches with specified over all pit slopes to stabilize the benches. Even though the generation of waste material is comparatively low and no waste dumps will be left un-attended or un-evenly scattered. By creation/development of systematic green belt in the disturbed area the aesthetic of the area will become more beautiful and attractive.
3) Soil and land use pattern
The lease area is a barren waste land contains only few thorny bushes. Most of the area is covered with exposed basalt and covered with a thin layer (0.5.) of moramic soil & weathered basalt. The morramic soil and weathered basalt is used for making roads, development of infrastructure, filling for landscaping etc. to develop greenery. As such the topography of the area will be modified and it will become slightly flat area.
4) Agriculture
The lease area is a barren and is devoid of any agriculture activity. It is also not possible in future to do agriculture, as the area is entirely covered Shantanu Puranik RQP/NGP/500/2014 32 Mining Plan for Khasra No 18/1 at Village- Salai Menda, Tahsil -Umred, District -Nagpur
with exposures of basalt. Hence, there will not be any impact on agriculture due to mining activity.
5) Forest
The lease area is private land and barren contains only few thorny bushes. No forest is existing in surrounding areas.
6) Vegetation
Presently the lease area is devoid of any vegetation and is barren stony waste land and contains only few thorny bushes. However, after the mining the area will be converted with the plantation.
7) Monuments
There are no public buildings or monuments of any important in the nearby which might be affected due to mining active.
12.2.2 Water Environment
1) Surface water
At present there is no water source of perennial type passing through the area and in immediate vicinity.
2) Groundwater
Presently no ground water level testing has been done in the lease area. However, it is observed from the bore-wells that, the ground water is available at a depth of more than 20 m from the surface.
. 3) Drinking water is proposed to make available from nearby bore-wells. This water is being used for drinking purposes for many years and is potable.
Shantanu Puranik RQP/NGP/500/2014 33 Mining Plan for Khasra No 18/1 at Village- Salai Menda, Tahsil -Umred, District -Nagpur
12.2.3 Air Environment
1) Noise : During the mining activities the noise levels may slightly increases due to machinery deployment. By regular and schedule maintenance of the equipments like greasing, oiling will minimize the noise level of the equipments.
2) Air : Due to mining there is dust generated due to crushing of basalt. This will be minimized by arranging auto sprinklers at crusher mouth, watering on roads by deploying portable water tankers and generation of greenery around the workings. Crushing units are covered with construction of closed sheds.
12.2.4 Socio-Economic Environment
1) Social and Demographic profile
Due to mining activity there will be generation of employment for the local people which will increase their earning. Due to this there will be improvement in the living condition of people employed in the area.
2) Occupational Health and Safety
As mentioned earlier the statutory norms will be followed during the course of mining to ensure the proper health and safety of workers. Apart from this, there is no other factor envisaged during the mining operation.
3) Human Settlement
Though the local population is well settled in the nearby villages, there is a possibility of migration of laborers from the surrounding areas, due to increased revenue earning in the area. There will development of infrastructural facilities due to mining activity.
Shantanu Puranik RQP/NGP/500/2014 34 Mining Plan for Khasra No 18/1 at Village- Salai Menda, Tahsil -Umred, District -Nagpur
4) Recreational Facility
As the entire area is industrial area as such no special recreational facility is available. Due to improved earning there will be improvement in the entertainment facilities and marketing.
12.3 ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN
12.3.1 Storage and prevention of top soil
It is already mentioned in the chapter of geology that the entire is covered by Deccan trap basalt. As such the barren stony waste land is devoid of any top soil. However, the top moronic soil and weathered basalt will be separately mined and used for making roads, filling for development of infrastructure, landscaping etc.
12.3.2 Proposal for reclamation of land Affected by mining Activity.
The entire area is barren region and covered with Basalt flow. Due to systematic mining practices like forming proper benches, maintaining over-all pit slope as specified by rules etc. mined out area cannot be totally reclaimed as the retire quarry area consists of basalt rock and the area is systematically mined with benches. The slope areas and the area covered for infrastructure will be spared for plantation by covering around 700 sq.mts per year along the approach road area on safety zone area along the lease boundary.
12.3.3 Programmed of a forestation
As already mentioned that the entire area is covered by Deccan trap basalts. The slope area and the area covered for infrastructure will be spared for plantation by covering around 700 sq.mts per year along the approach road area and no safety zone area along the lease boundary. Five years plantation has been shown in Environment plan, conceptual plan and land use plan.
Shantanu Puranik RQP/NGP/500/2014 35 Mining Plan for Khasra No 18/1 at Village- Salai Menda, Tahsil -Umred, District -Nagpur
12.3.4 Dust Suppression
SPM is the main cause of concern in any open cast mine. At the working sites SPM level is higher side. Efforts will be made to suppress the dust at source by adequate watering. For this drilling will be envisaged and a water tanker of 3,000lit capacity will be engaged out the working shift and hauling roads will be kept under wet condition to minimize the dust.
12.3.5 Measures to minimize vibration due to Blasting
The method of mining is of manual nature and drilling will be carried out by crower mounted LM-100 drill machine and blasting by slurry explosive and detonators. The total numbers of holes to be blasted at any particular time will not be more than 16 and as such there will not be any appreciable vibration due to blasting. Also to minimize vibration model blasting system (advance blasting) is to be adopted.
12.3.6 Stabilization and vegetation : The lease area is at present is devoid of any vegetation and is almost barren. But during the mining if there is generation of loose material, it will be used for plantation which will give green pasture to the environment. The basalt is quit hard and compact rock hence, the quarry faces and the benches would be quite sturdy which will not require any special effort for the stabilization.
12.3.7 Treatment and disposal of water from mine and beneficiation
The basalt does not require any beneficiation process. There will not be any beneficiation plant located in the lease area as such no water will be used or discharged. As the floor is maintained in a level formation, no rain water is going to accumulate during the monsoon in the mined out pit. However, rainwater is discharged through properly constructed channels to nearby seasonal nallas. Well designed check bunds will be constructed across the seasonal nalla gullies to arrest any silt.

12.3.8 Measures for minimizing adverse water regime
There will no adverse effect on water regime due to mining operation.
12.3.9 A forestation of tailing Dumps
There will not be any beneficiation plant in the mining area. Hence, tailing dumps/ponds will not be formed.
12.3.10 Preparation of dumping ground for stacking of Toxic mineral substance
The basalt mining does not generate any toxic material. Hence, there is no plan for dumping toxic mineral substances as the same will not be generated from the mine.
12.3.11 Socio-Economic benefits arising out of mining in the area
Due to mining activity there will be generation of employment opportunities for local peoples which will increase their earning and will improve living condition.

3.0 REVIEW OF IMPLEMENTATION OF MINING PLAN/SCHEME OF MINING INCLUDING FIVE YEARS PROGRESSIVE CLOSURE PLAN UP TO FINAL CLOSURE OF MINE:
Indicate in detail the various proposals committed with special emphasis on the proposal for protection of environment in the approved Mining Plan/Scheme of mining including five year Progressive Closure Plan to the closure of mine vis-a- vis their status of implementation. Highlight the area, which might have been contaminated by mining activities and type of contaminants by mining activities and type of contaminates that might be found there, the reasons for deviation from the proposal if any with corrective measures taken should also be given.
The following proposals for environment management etc is envisaged.
3.1 Waste management : The proposed waste produced during the first 5 years of Mining Plan period will be only the weathered basalt & morramic soil which is around 2592 m3. Most of the waste material is used for various purposes like preparation of approach & mine roads, construction of check bunds, bunds along the boundary for greenery development, filling for landscaping and construction of Infrastructure etc
3.2 Environment management : Opencast mining operation comprises of various activities related to digging, drilling, blasting and material handling which may be potential sources of environment pollution. The quarry will be developed by systematically formed benches with over all pit slope of 450 which stabilizes the benches. Efforts will be made to suppress the dust at source by adequate watering. For this a mobile water tanker of 3000 liter capacity will be engaged throughout the working shift. Hauling roads will be kept under wet conditions to minimize the air pollution.
Shantanu Puranik RQP/NGP/500/2014 8 PMCP for Khasra No 18/1 at Village- Salai Menda, Tahsil -Umred, District -Nagpur
Check bunds will be generated all along the lease boundary and in around the buildings to increase the aesthetic beauty of the area.
3.3 Reclamation / Backfilling As a result of reclamation and backfilling the original ground profile is likely to be altered and topography of area may modify. The entire area is covered with Basalt flow. Due to systematic mining practice like forming proper benches, maintaining over-all pit slope as specified by rules etc. mined out area cannot be totally reclaimed, however the other land will be reclaimed and rehabilitated around 0.34 Ha. area with plantation in the next five years along the approach road area and safety zone area as shown in the Land Use Plan Plate No. VIII and in Environment Plan Plate No. IX.

4.0 CLOSURE PLAN
4.1 Mined out land Describe the proposal to be implemented for reclamation and rehabilitation of mined out land including the manner in which the actual site on the pit will be restored for future use. The proposal should be supported with relevant plans and sections depicting the method of land restoration /reclamation rehabilitation. Most of waste material is used for various purposes like preparation of approach & mine roads, construction of check bunds, bunds along the boundary for greenery development, filling for landscaping and construction of infrastructure etc. The pit will be utilized for storage of water where monsoon water shall accumulate and it will be acting as recharge structure for groundwater. Barbed fencing will be provided along the pit boundary as a matter of safety.
4.2 Water quality management Describe in detail the existing surface and ground water bodies available in the lease area and the measures to be taken for protection of the same including control of erosion, sedimentation, siltation, water treatment, diversion of water courses, if any, measures for protection of contamination of ground water from leaching etc. Quantity and quality of source water bodies should also be indicated and corrective measures proposed to meet the water quality confirming the permissible limits should also be described. Report of the hydrological study carried out in the area may also be submitted. The water balance chart should be give. If there is potential of Acid Mines Drainage the treatment method should be given.
At present there is no water source of perennial type passing through the area and also in immediate vicinity. There are no water sources in the area from which inherent seepage of water could occurs and for this reason the area does not require any specific mine drainage pattern .The basalt does not require any
Shantanu Puranik RQP/NGP/500/2014 10 PMCP for Khasra No 18/1 at Village- Salai Menda, Tahsil -Umred, District -Nagpur
beneficiation process. There will not be any beneficiation plant location in the lease as such no water will be used or discharged. As the floor is maintained in the mined out pit. However, rainwater will be discharged through properly constructed channels to nearby seasonal nallas. Well designed check bunds will be constructed across the seasonal nalla gullies to arrest any slit. There is no water regime of any importance in the lease area. Drinking water is made available through bore-well. This water is being used for drinking purposes from many years.
4.3 Air Quality Management Describe the existing air quality status. The corrective measures to be taken for prevention of pollution of air should be describe :
During mining operations the sources of dust generation are drilling, blasting, loading / unloading of material and movement of the vehicles. All these operations raise the dust in the ambient environment momentarily. However, substantial dust is generated due to crushing of basalt. This will be minimized by arranging auto sprinklers at crusher mouth, watering on roads by deploying portable water tankers and generation of greenery around the workings. Considering the production and nature of proposed surface mining operations, 3 PM10 level will not be more than the permissible limit of 100 µg/m in any case. During the mining activities the noise levels may slightly increase due to machinery deployment. By regular and schedule maintenance of the equipments (like greasing, oiling) will minimize the noise level of the equipments.
4.4 Waste Management : Describe the type, quality and quantity of overburden, mineral reject etc. available and their disposal practice, if no utilization of waste material is proposed the manner in which the waste material will be stabilized should described. The protection measures to be taken for prevention of siltation, erosion, and dust generation from this waste material should also be described. If
Shantanu Puranik RQP/NGP/500/2014 11 PMCP for Khasra No 18/1 at Village- Salai Menda, Tahsil -Umred, District -Nagpur
toxic and hazardous elements present in the waste material, the protective measures to be taken for prevention of disposal in the air environment, leaching in the surface and ground water etc. should be described.
The proposed waste produced during the first 5 years of Mining Plan period will be only the weathered basalt & morramic soil which is around 2592 m3. Most of the waste material is used for various purposes like preparation of approach & mine roads, construction of check bunds along the boundary for greenery development is non toxic and non hazardous elements.
4.5 Top soil Management The lease area is barren in nature and waste land contains only few thorny bushes. Most of the area is covered with exposed basalt. The morramic soil and weathered basalt is used for making roads, development of infrastructure, filling for landscaping etc. to develop greenery.
4.6 Tailing Dam management The steps to be taken for protection and stability dam, stabilization of falling material and its utilization, periodic desalting measures to prevent water pollution from tailings etc. for arrangement for surplus water overflow along with details design, structured stability studied, the embankment seepage loss in to the receiving environment ant ground water contamination if any should be described.
As the Basalt mining does not require any beneficiation process. As such there will not be any tailing dam at the mine.
4.7 Infrastructure : The existing infrastructure facilities available such as road, aerial ropeways, conveyer belts, railways, power lines, buildings& structures, water treatment plant, transport, water supply sources in the area etc. and their future utilization
Shantanu Puranik RQP/NGP/500/2014 12 PMCP for Khasra No 18/1 at Village- Salai Menda, Tahsil -Umred, District -Nagpur
should be evaluated on case-by case basis. If retained, the measures to be taken for their physical stability and maintenance should be described. If decommissioning proposed, dismantling and disposal of building structures, transmission line, water line, gas pipeline, water works, transportation infrastructure like roads rails, tanks bridges, culverts etc. electrical equipments and infrastructures like electrical cables, transformers to be described in connection with restoring land for future use.
Water : Drinking water is available through Bore-well. This water is being used for drinking purpose. Electricity: A transformer will be erected in the plot earmarked for crusher unit for Electricity supply. Road: The area is approachable by an all-weather road upto Salai Menda and further to the lease area. Railway The Central Railway line is Nagpur which is about 25 Km Station: towards North of the lease area. Nearest Railway station is at Nagpur.
Labourers: Adequate number of labourers are available from the nearby industrial areas and also from Village Salai Menda, Wanadongri and Umred. Other Other facilities are available in the area as the lease is situated Facilities: near to the village Pachgaon.
4.8 The disposal of mining Machinery The decommissioning of mining machineries and their possible post mining utilization, if any to be described : The Mining will be done by open cast semi-mechanized method. It is proposed to use hired machinery and equipment for mining operations. Hence, the disposal of mining machinery is not considered.

4.9 Safety & Security
Explain the safety measures implemented to prevent access to surface openings, excavations etc. and arrangements proposed during the mine abandonment plan and up to the site being opened for general public should be describes.
Mining operations is a continuous process, will be carried out for full year. If there is any temporary closure due to heavy monsoon, then the notice under Rule-24 of MCDR, 1988 in Form-D will be submitted every year before temporary discontinuance of mining operation during monsoon. During this period the working pit will be barricaded to prevent access to the surface working and excavation. Fencing will be provided all along the lease boundary to prevent any encroachment. Gates will be provided at the entrance and security guards will be posted to restrict unauthorized entries. Gate passes will be introduced to check the number of vehicles.
4.10 Disaster Management and Risk Assessment
The mining operations in the lease area will be of open cast semi-mechanized in nature. One first order seasonal stream passes through western boundary of the lease area which drains off water received during monsoon from the nearby catchment. It is proposed to channelize this first order stream along the westernmost periphery of the lease area. It will be ensured that this stream shall pass through the safety zone (7.5 m inside the lease boundary). In order to prevent runoff during monsoon, it is proposed to create a small bund along this stream. The width and height would be 2m x 1m respectively. There is no danger from any seismic activity and no such record of seismic activity is available in the area. Apart from this no other risk or disaster are foreseen at present in the area.
4.11 Care and maintenance during temporary discontinuance :
For every five yearly review ( as given the mining scheme) an emergency plan for the situation of temporary discontinuance or incomplete programmed due to
Shantanu Puranik RQP/NGP/500/2014 14 PMCP for Khasra No 18/1 at Village- Salai Menda, Tahsil -Umred, District -Nagpur
court order or due to statutory requirement of any other unforeseen circumstances should include a plan indicating measures of care, maintenance and monitoring of status of unplanned discontinued mining operations expected to re-open in near future. This should detail item wise status monitoring and maintenance with periodicity and objective.
An emergency plan arising for temporary discontinuance or incomplete programmed due to court order or due to statutory requirements will be drawn up & executed depending upon the situation. Since the proposed mining is not hazardous, the situation for emergency plan is not envisaged. The statutory and technical team is capable of meeting any situation if necessary.

5.0 ECONOMIC REPERCUSSIONS OF CLOSURE OF MINE AND MANPOWER RETRENCHMENTS.
Manpower retrenchments compensation to be given, socio- economic repercussions and remedial measures consequent to the closure of mine should be described specifically stating the following.
The employment generated during the course of mining period is low as the mining is of small scale in nature. The mining operation is not in continuation as such during the discontinuation period these people will do agriculture, sundry jobs etc. at their villages. As such compensation for retrenchment does not arise. As the mining site is away from local habitants and the scale of mining operation is low hence, no major repercussions on socio-economic is expected. However, the management will pay such compensation as applicable at the time of closure and as mutually agreed terms and conditions.
5.1 Number of local residents employed in the mine, status of their continuation, family occupation and scope of joining the occupation back :
The number of local residents employed in the mine is very less and they will continue their traditional and family occupation such as agriculture, sundry jobs etc. After the close of mining operation the area will be covered with plantation. The hired persons will continue with the company and shift to company’s other location.
5.2 Compensation given or to be given to employee connecting with sustenance of himself and their family member :
Few local personal engaged in the mining works will be paid a suitable package of compensations at amicably agreed terms and conditions on the closure of the mining activities.

5.3 Satellite occupations connected to the mining industry-number of persons engaged there in continuance of such business after mine closes.
The workers mostly work in seasonal agriculture and hence satellite occupations connected to mining industry are not considered. Hence, after the mine closes, there will not be any adverse impact.
5.4 Continued engagement of employees in the rehabilitated status of mining lease area and any other remnant activities.
The mining operation proposed in the area is of a small scale. Most of the workers engaged from local villages are seasonally works their traditional occupation like agriculture.
5.5 Envisaged repercussions on the expectation of the society around due to closure of mine.
The mining operation is small in nature. There are no nearby villages; habitant/ society depend on this project. The employment potential of the mine is very small, hence it will have no repercussion on the expectation of society around due to closure of the mine.
