3. GEOLOGY AND EXPLORATION

a) Briefly describe the topographical and general geology and local geology of the mineral deposit including drainage pattern:

Physiography:

The mining lease over an area of 3.00 acres of M/s Raja Minerals is situated in village Bara Tengrani, Thana – Saraikela, Plot No. –01 (Part) in the district of Saraikela- Kharsawan of Jharkhand State. The area is located in survey of India Topo Sheet No. Topo Sheet : 73 F/14 (F45H14) and bounded by Latitude: 220 40’59.91” to 220 41’12.08” Longitude: 850 54’16.85” to 850 54’21.99”. The mine is well connected with cart road which is further connected to Adityapur- Chaibasa road (SH-5) is crossing on the Eastern side at a distance of about 0.5 km from the mining lease area. The nearest railway station is Mahali Marup is located at a distance of about 8.5 km on the NW.

The area represents Small hillock of stone trending is NE-SW ranging from 198 m to 182m above from MSL. The highest elevation i.e. 198m peak is situated on the Northern side. The stone boulders exposed throughout the area on the upper part of the hillocks. The general slope of the area is on the Southern side.

GEOLOGY:

Regional Geology: The geology of the Saraikela-Kharsawan district follows the Regional stratigraphy of Singhbhum District of Jharkhand; the litho-structural environment is distinctly separated by the 160 Km long thrust zone – known as the Singhbhum Shear zone. North of it, occur a group of metamorphosed rocks while the southern part is conspicuous by the presence of un-metamorphosed rocks which are underlain by the older metamorphic. The Whole sequence of rocks in south Singhbhum and also in the eastern part is traversed by younger igneous bodies of ultrabasic, basic and acidic compositions. The stratigraphic sequence of South Singhbhum is as follows, - Newer dolerite Quartz veins, veins of pegmatite, Granophyre, Soda Granite Singhbhum granite

(Dr. G. S. Jaiswal) RQP /CAL /151 /90 /A. :: 3 - i :: MINING PLAN OF BARA TENGRANI STONE MINE (3.00 ACRES) LESSEE – M/s RAJA MINERALS

------Singhbhum Oregeny------Dhanjori Lava Quartzite, conglomerate ------Unconformity ------Kolhan Series ------Unconformity------Iron Ore Series ------Unconformity ------Older Metamorphic

Local geology: The geology of the Bara Tengrani Stone Mine follows the Regional stratigraphy of this region. The dolerite boulders exposed throughout the area on the upper part of the hillocks. But on the lower part, these boulders are associated with morrum and alluvium soil. The general trend of the deposition is along NE to SW. The general slope of the area is on the Southern side. On the basis of geological field study, a geological map has been prepared with a contour interval of 2m. (Refer Plate – 4). The local geological succession in the area as observed during field study is as below. Dolerite (Stone deposit) Soil / Murrum

b) The topographic plan of the lease area prepared on a scale of 1:1000 or 1:2000 with contour interval of 3 to 10 m depending upon the topography of the area should be taken as the base plan for preparation of geological plan. The details of exploration already carried out including evidences of mineral existence should be shown on the geological plan.

This is an old working mine. According to the field observation this area is potential in stone deposit. The Surface Geological plan has been prepared on a scale of 1:1000 with contour interval of 2m. The detail of Geological survey work carried out including evidence of Stone existence has been shown on the Geological Plan (Plate – 4). c) Geological sections should be prepared at suitable intervals on a scale of 1:2000.

Geological sections from Lease boundary to lease boundary have been prepared on a scale of 1:1000 and shown in Plate – 5.

(Dr. G. S. Jaiswal) RQP /CAL /151 /90 /A. :: 3 - ii :: MINING PLAN OF BARA TENGRANI STONE MINE (3.00 ACRES) LESSEE – M/s RAJA MINERALS

d) Broadly indicate the year wise future programme of exploration, taking into consideration the future production programme planned in plan period as in table below:

No exploration has been chalked out at this stage as all the hills within the lease area is covered with Stone exposure. e) Indicate geological and recoverable reserves and grade, duly supported by standard method of estimation and calculations along with required sections (giving split up of various categories i.e. proved, probable, possible). Indicate cut-off grade. Availability of resources should also be indicated for the entire lease hold.

Estimation of Resources: The geological resources have been estimated during the preparation of this mining plan. The resources have been estimated on the basis of the data observed directly from surface exposure. The existing exposures within the mining lease area provide the data of mineralization. Exposures of stone in the lease area are considered as proved zone. The dimension of the mineral body is as follows: Table - 3.1 Dimensions of mineral body

Length Width Depth Depth in mRL (m) (m) (m) Top Bottom 366.00 34.50 21.00 198.00 177.00

Parameters considered: For the estimation of the Mineral resources, the following parameters have been considered: a) Method of Estimation: Cross-sectional method has been adopted for calculation of resources. A cross-sectional area has been calculated which multiplied by the length of influence of stone body considered for each section giving the volume of material.

b) Thickness of the Mineral body for Measured& Indicated category: The total mineralized area is one block. The thickness of the stone is given in Geological section Plate – 5.

c) Cut-off grade: Not applicable (as stone is raw material used).

(Dr. G. S. Jaiswal) RQP /CAL /151 /90 /A. :: 3 - iii :: MINING PLAN OF BARA TENGRANI STONE MINE (3.00 ACRES) LESSEE – M/s RAJA MINERALS

d) Recovery: In Bara Tengrani Stone Mine, recovery of stone from excavation is considered as 85% where as 15% is intercalated waste association of morrum & soil etc.

e) Conversion factor: For Stone - 1 cum = 2.5 MT

MINERAL RESOURCES & RESERVES

Proved Thickness Thickness of the stone body as observed in base of field has been considered under proved depth. The max proved depth has been considered in section which bottom R.L. is 182 m. The thickness of the stone body is variable from section to section.

Probable Thickness For estimation of indicated resources, further 5m in depth from proved zone has been considered. The Mineral resources have been calculated by taking the sectional area then multiply with length of influence and then taking recovery as 85% whereas 15% is intercalated waste due to association of morrum & soil etc from total volume then multiply with specific gravity. The detailed calculations for resources and reserves are given in Table separately.

CLASSIFICATION OF RESERVE AS PER UNFC SYSTEM: UNFC system has been adopted to categorize the mineral Resources and reserves. For the estimation of different mineral reserves, Occurrences of mineral of intrinsic economic interest, location, quantity, geological characteristic etc has been studied in detailed and are given hereunder:

Mineral Reserve (121): Detailed geological survey has been carried out, surface exposures have been found. The proved reserve has been estimated based on the actual thickness of the mineral body exposed in lease. Thus, geological axis can be brought under G1. On feasibility axis, mining work is stopped due to requirement of environmental clearance. Thus, the resources can be brought under F2. On economic front, the end use, land use pattern, working plan is already known or designed, hence, the reserves can be brought under E1. Thus Proved reserves can be classified under 121 groups.

(Dr. G. S. Jaiswal) RQP /CAL /151 /90 /A. :: 3 - vii :: MINING PLAN OF BARA TENGRANI STONE MINE (3.00 ACRES) LESSEE – M/s RAJA MINERALS

ii) Mineral Reserve (122): Based on the exposed stone and quarry seen in the area, the thickness of this probable zone is considered further 5m below the proved zone based on the exposure and contour. Thus, the geological axis can be brought under G2 & feasibility axis can be brought under F2. On the economic front, the stone produced from this area shall be utilized to local consumer i.e. civil construction work, road construction etc. Hence it can be grouped under E1. Thus Probable reserves can be classified under 122 group. Table - 3.5

a) Briefly describe the existing / proposed method for developing /working the deposit with all design parameters.

Existing Quarry: This is a working mine as such the area has been degraded due to mining and allied activities such as degraded by way of quarry & road. At present, total 0.118 ha area has been broken due to mining and allied activities out of which 0.094 ha is due to quarry. The details of existing land use in the lease area are given below: Table – 4.1.

Pattern of Utilization Existing Land use (Ha)

Excavation 0.094

Waste Dump - Road 0.024 Infrastructure - Plantation - (Green Belt) Total 0.118

Existing & proposed method of mining: Initially, mining operation in this lease area was carried out by open caste manual method by using shovel, spade and hammer for excavation, production and removal of waste with a combination of tractor. No Drilling/blasting operation was carried out in the previous years. After fulfillment of all the statutory clearance and execution of the mining lease deed, the mining operation in this area shall be carried out by open cast other than fully mechanized method (OTFM) by using HEMM for excavation, production and removal of waste with a combination of dumper.

This mine is planned to develop with the maximum production capacity of 1647.79 cft/day or 46.66 cum/day or 116.66 MT/day or 14000.00 cum or 35000.00 MT/annum. Keeping in view of production target the method of mining adopted shall be by opencast other than fully mechanized method (OTFM) method on a single shift basis where the stone boulder

(Dr. G. S. Jaiswal) RQP /CAL /151 /90 /A. :: 4 - viii :: MINING PLAN OF BARA TENGRANI STONE MINE (3.00 ACRES) LESSEE – M/s RAJA MINERALS

Ultimate pit boundary: Based on the mineralized zone of entire lease, ultimate pit limit has been calculated by cross sectional method. The mined out area at ultimate stage comes to 1.215ha. The ultimate pit limit is earmarked both in plan and sections.

iii) Disposal of waste rocks and in saleable mineral:

Waste dump:

From the development plan, it is clear that there will be generation of waste quantity (8583.32 cum) of waste during this plan period. It is proposed that all intercalated waste to be generated during this plan period, shall be utilized for making and maintaining the approach road and village road.

Reclamation & Rehabilitation: It is a working mining lease and the mining operation in this area is not yet started by the lessee due environment clearance. At present three quarries has been exhausted but not its ultimate depth. As such, question of reclamation and rehabilitation does not arise. On the other hand, it is a small hilly area where mining shall be carried out by benching method. Based on the present mineralized zone the life of the mine is 3.5 years. Further, it will be exhausted during this plan period. The generation of waste is very less and it will be utilized for road maintenance. The working mine lease area will be developed up to the 184 mRL. The Plan period is its ultimate stage, total 1.215 ha area shall come under degradation. Out of this excavated area 0.638 Ha whereas the mine will not completely exhaust into depth due its steep slope. The excavation will be only at proved level. Therefore only dead benches are remaining.

Existing Land use: This is an old working mine, as such 0.118ha area has been degraded due to mining and allied activities.

Land use at the end of plan period: Due to development of the pit, total 1.215 ha area shall be in use due to mining and allied activities by the end of the plan period.

(Dr. G. S. Jaiswal) RQP /CAL /151 /90 /A. :: 4 - ix :: MINING PLAN OF BARA TENGRANI STONE MINE (3.00 ACRES) LESSEE – M/s RAJA MINERALS

Land use at conceptual stage: Based on the present mineralized area, an ultimate pit limit has been designed. This has been shown in Conceptual plan & Sections. It has been calculated that total 1.215 ha area will be in use due to mining and allied activities.

RECLAMATION:

11.0 ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN a) Attach a note on the status of base line information with regard to the following: i) Existing land use pattern indicating the area already degraded due to quarrying/pitting, dumping, roads, processing plant workshop, township etc. in a tabular form:

Existing Land Use Pattern:

This is a working mine as such the area has been degraded due to mining and allied activities such as degraded by way of quarry & road. At present, total 0.118 ha area has been broken due to mining and allied activities out of which 0.094 ha is due to quarry.

Table- 11.1 EXISTING LAND USE PATTERN OF THE AREA

Pattern of Utilization Existing Land use (Ha)

Excavation 0.094

Waste Dump - Road 0.024 Infrastructure - Plantation - (Green Belt) Total 0.118 ii) Water Regime:

Topographically, Bara Tengrani Stone Mine represents a hilly terrain. The highest relief of the area is 198mRL in the top portion whereas lowest relief is 182mRL is located in the base part of the lease area. During the field study of the area, the surrounding wells and tube wells of the area are also studied and it was observed that the ground water body is found at about 15m below the base i.e. at about 162mRL.Since the ultimate depth has been designed up to the depth of 177mRL, there is no chance of intervene the water body. there is no chance of intervene the water body. The Surface run-off flows through seasonal nala and fall finally in Kharkai River which is located on the Eastern side at a distance of about 1.5 km from the Mining lease area.

(Dr. G. S. Jaiswal) RQP /CAL /151 /90 /A. :: 11 - i :: MINING PLAN OF BARA TENGRANI STONE MINE (3.00 ACRES) LESSEE – M/s RAJA MINERALS

Rain Water:

The Bara Tengrani Stone Mine is located in the Saraikela-Kharsawan district of Jharkhand and the area in general, receives appreciable amount of rainfall, which is in the range of 1200mm to 1400mm per year. Most of the precipitation goes on surface run off and finally discharges into the Kharkhai River which controls the overall drainage system /pattern of the area. Since the proposed quarry will be above the surface level of river, only there will be accumulation of water mainly during rainy season.

Ground Water:

During the rainy season, some of the rainwater goes below the sub-surface in the leasehold area. The rainwater, which goes into the sub surface in the hill range, finds its way through cracks, joints and fissures and finally reaches to valley or plain land. During the field study of the area, the surrounding wells and tube wells of the area are also studied and it was observed that the ground water body is found at about 15m below the surface i.e. at about 162m RL. iii) Flora & Fauna:

There is no flora and fauna of national importance. This lease area is free from vegetation and also out of forest area. The area is devoid of any agriculture land, but outside the area, some agriculture land is there & onetime crop is being cultivated. Because of lack of forest cover around and close to the lease area, there is no wild animal of any significance has been reported. Only domestic animals like cow, goat, buffalo, cat, dog etc are observed / found in the area.

iv) Quality of Air, ambient noise level and water The mining operation in the area was carried out by opencast (OTFM) method by using excavator in combination of Dumper etc. This may cause dust emission. The source of noise in the area will be due to movements of Dumper. Noise due to movements of

Dumper is negligible.

v) Climatic Condition:

The climate of the area is sub tropical. May is the hottest month whereas December and January are comparatively colder months. The area faces extreme temperatures variations between the maximum of 470C during the summer and the minimum of 70C during winter.

(Dr. G. S. Jaiswal) RQP /CAL /151 /90 /A. :: 11 - ii :: MINING PLAN OF BARA TENGRANI STONE MINE (3.00 ACRES) LESSEE – M/s RAJA MINERALS

Annual rainfall averages 600mm & most of it is precipitating between mid June to early October. The rest of the period is practically dry. Humidity is generally about 16%-24% with a maximum of 60% during monsoon, the general wind direction is easterly averaging 20 km/hr with no intense industrial activity, the air is quite clean & the environment in healthy.

vi) Human Settlement: There is no human settlement within the lease area. There is village Bara Tengrani which is situated at a distance of about 1.0 km (SE side) from the leasehold area & some other villages within 05 Kms radius.

vii) Public buildings, places of worship & monuments: The area is devoid of any notable public buildings, National monuments, places of worship etc. There are no Natural Parks of tourist interest or wild life sanctuary near the area.

viii) Does the area (partly or fully) fall under notified area under water (prevention & control of pollution) Act 1974.

This area does not fall under notified area under water (prevention and control of pollution) Act 1974.

b) Attach an Environmental Impact Assessment Statement describing the impact of mining and beneficiation on environment on the following over the next five year. i) Impact on Land degradation

This is a working mine as such the area has been degraded, there is degradation of land due to mining & allied activities. Now, during this plan period, it is proposed to develop the lease laterally and from top to bottom. It has been estimated that during this plan period, about 1.215 ha area will be degraded due to mining and allied activities. Existing land use and area to be degraded during this plan period is given in Table – 11.2. Table - 11.2 PRESENT AND FUTURE LAND USE PATTERN

Infrastructure - Nil Plantation 0.553 - (Green Belt) (Within safety zone) Total 0.118 1.215

ii) Impact on Air Quality: It is proposed that during this plan period, mining operation in the area shall be continued by opencast (OTFM) method by using excavator in combination of number of Dumpers etc. This may cause impact on air quality. The dust will be generated due to movements of vehicles, Dumper etc. So, after the commencement of mining operation, Ambient Air Quality of the area shall be monitored to know the quality of air. However, water spraying on haul roads, Green belt development along safety zone etc will act as a screen for dust and AAQ control.

(iii) Impact on Dust Fall: During the plan period, it is anticipated that there will be dust fall in the area due to the movement of Dumper.

(iv) Impact on Noise Characteristics: The main source of noise in the project area is due to use of Dumper only. During the plan period, there will be some impact on noise level due to the machine mining. v) Impact on Water Quality:

Surface and ground water is not affected due to mining activity of this mine. There is no perennial source within the leasehold. There is no cause of contamination of water, as no industrial effluent is discharged and there is also little chances of quarry discharge water from mine in rainy season. vi) Vibration levels (due to blasting): Not required. vii) Socio-economics: The leasehold area for Stone mining is situated in Saraikela-Kharsawan district and is located where general living condition of the people is below poverty line. Agriculture has not been developed in the region to the extent it should have been. People, therefore, depend mostly on this type of mines or other local work for their livelihood. This has got a

(Dr. G. S. Jaiswal) RQP /CAL /151 /90 /A. :: 11 - iv :: MINING PLAN OF BARA TENGRANI STONE MINE (3.00 ACRES) LESSEE – M/s RAJA MINERALS

positive impact on the living condition of the local inhabitants. At least, these people have been assured of their daily bread.

Besides the direct employment in the mines, indirect engagement may be two to three times. Mining activity in the area has brought some positive effect like better employment potentiality, better health care, better living, better sanitation conditions, better education facilities etc.

Viii) Historical Monuments etc.:

The area is devoid of any notable historical monuments. c) Attach an Environment Management Plan (supported by appropriate plans and sections) defining the time-bound action proposed to be taken with sequence & timing in the following areas (or diagrams should be used):

Temporary storage and utilization of top soil:

There is no top-soil cover in the area. During the plan period, no topsoil shall be generated.

Year wise proposal for reclamation of land affected by abandoned quarries and other mining activities during first five years:

It is a working mining lease and the mining operation in this area is not yet started by the lessee due environment clearance. At present three quarries has been exhausted but not its ultimate depth. As such, question of reclamation and rehabilitation does not arise. On the other hand, it is a small hilly area where mining shall be carried out by benching method. Based on the present mineralized zone the life of the mine is 3.5 years. Further, it will be exhausted during this plan period. On the other hand, it is a hilly area where mining shall be carried out by benching method. The proposed working of stone deposit has been planned up to depth of 177mRL. But it has been reached up to 184 due to its steep slope. At this stage, it is proposed 0.553 ha area shall be proposed for plantation along safety

zone. Finally, at ultimate stage, reclamation and post mining land use pattern of the area shall emerge as follows:- i) Total 1.215 ha area shall be degraded due to mining & allied activities. At this stage, 1.215 ha area shall come under degradation. Out of this excavated area 0.638 Ha whereas the mine will not completely exhaust into depth due its steep slope. The excavation will be only at proved level. Therefore only dead benches are remaining.

(Dr. G. S. Jaiswal) RQP /CAL /151 /90 /A. :: 11 - v :: MINING PLAN OF BARA TENGRANI STONE MINE (3.00 ACRES) LESSEE – M/s RAJA MINERALS

ii) The area so degraded due to mining activity shall be restored and handed over to the concerned authority in a useful manner.

Programme of afforestation year wise for the initial five years indicating numbers of plants with name of species to be afforestated under different areas in hectares:

The year-wise plantation programme during this plan period is given in Table – 11.3

TABLE SHOWING PROPOSED PLANTATION PROGRAMME DURING THE PLAN PERIOD

Measures to control erosion/sedimentation of water courses: The Surface run-off flows through seasonal nala and fall finally in Kharkai River which is located on the Eastern side at a distance of about 1.5 km from the Mining lease area.

Treatment and disposal of water from mine: Not applicable.

Measures for minimizing adverse effects on water regime: As stated earlier, surface water and ground water sources are not affected due to this project. Since mining will be restricted in the hilly region and slopes away from the nala, there is very little chance of polluting water. Water quality of surface as well as ground water is not affected due to mining activities. There will be no quarry discharge water from the mine. But during rainy season there may be a chance of surface water pollution due to contamination of suspended and dissolved solids those are mostly expected from the outer slopes during monsoon. For this, following measures are being proposed to control water pollution during rainy season, if any:

(Dr. G. S. Jaiswal) RQP /CAL /151 /90 /A. :: 11 - vi :: MINING PLAN OF BARA TENGRANI STONE MINE (3.00 ACRES) LESSEE – M/s RAJA MINERALS

 Construction of drain to guide the rain water from higher to lower contour. Drain to be cleaned up periodically.

 Strengthening of small / rock barriers across the drains at intervals to check the water current and to arrest the solid particles.

Protective measures for ground vibrations/air blast caused by blasting: Not applicable

Measures for protecting historical monuments and for rehabilitation of human settlements likely to be disturbed due to mining activity: The area is devoid of any notable historical monuments and rehabilitation of human settlements will not be effected due to mining activity.

Socio economic benefits arising out of mining: Due to mining activities in the area, employment of technical, supervisory, other highly- skilled & skilled category shall be generated. Some more persons may be associated with this project to carry out some other developmental jobs as per need-base from time to time. Satellite income such as shopping, supply of food items, tailoring, hoteling etc. are extra. Medical, transport, communication facilities including the Purchase facilities and cultural improvement will be developed. Moreover the general awareness and lifestyle of the people in the area will be improved.

Apart from the financial benefits, this project will have a great positive social impact especially in this effected region, where the local population, in the nearby villages and are still dependent one season rice cultivation for their livelihood. Further, from the environmental point of view, this project will have minimal impact, as the project envisages opencast quarrying operations using excavator. Also there will be no conflict of interests for resources between the lessee and the local population. In fact, the local people have expressed their unanimous support to this project by passing resolutions. So, mining activity in the area shall brought some positive impact like better employment potentiality, better health care, better living, better sanitation conditions etc.

The area is located in survey of India Topo Sheet No. Topo Sheet: 73 F/14 (F45H14) and bounded by Latitude: 220 40’59.91” to 220 41’12.08” Longitude: 850 54’16.85” to 850 54’21.99”. The mine is well connected with cart road which is further connected to Adityapur- Chaibasa road (SH-5) is crossing on the Eastern side at a distance of about 0.5 km from the mining lease area. The nearest railway station is Mahali Marup is located at a distance of about 8.5 km on the NW.

GEOLOGY:

Regional Geology: The details of regional geology are given in chapter- 3.

Local Geology: The geology of the Bara Tengrani Stone Mine follows the Regional stratigraphy of this region. The dolerite boulders exposed throughout the area on the upper part of the hillocks. But on the lower part, these boulders are associated with morrum and alluvium soil. The general trend of the deposition is along NE to SW. The general slope of the area is on the Southern side. On the basis of geological field study, a geological map has been prepared

(Dr. G. S. Jaiswal) RQP /CAL /151 /90 /A. :: 12 - iv :: MINING PLAN OF BARA TENGRANI STONE MINE (3.00 ACRES) LESSEE – M/s RAJA MINERALS

with a contour interval of 2m. (Refer Plate – 4). The local geological succession in the area as observed during field study is as below. Dolerite (Stone deposit) Soil / Murrum Grade of Minerals: The stone is used for construction work as well as in roads.

Reserves:

The details of the reserve estimation are given in chapter- 3.

2,2 Mining Method:

The method of mining is proposed to be done by open cast (OTFM) method. The proposals are described in Chapter- 4 and above para-1.0.

2.3 Mineral Beneficiation:

Described in para – 1.0 above.

3.0 REVIEW OF IMPLEMENTATION OF MINING PLAN/SCHEME OF MINING INCLUDING FIVE YEARS PROGRESSIVE CLOSURE PLAN UPTO THE FINAL CLOSURE OF MINE.

It is a working mine. No mining plan or scheme of mining has been prepared earlier. As such, review of implementation of mining plan/scheme of mining including five years progressive closure plan up to the final closure of mine.

However, mining plan for lease has been prepared wherein development, excavation, production of mineral, generation of intercalated waste etc. for the plan period have been chalked out. The details layout of the proposed quarry & development sections are indicated in Plate – 6A-6D. Also, a detail is given in Chapter – 4.

Water Regime: - Topographically, Bara Tengrani Stone Mine represents a hilly terrain. The highest relief of the area is 198mRL in the top portion whereas lowest relief is 182mRL is located in the base part of the lease area. During the field study of the area, the surrounding wells and tube wells of the area are also studied and it was observed that the ground water body is found at about 15m below the base i.e. at about 162mRL.Since the ultimate depth has been designed up to the depth of 177mRL, there is no chance of intervene the water body.

(Dr. G. S. Jaiswal) RQP /CAL /151 /90 /A. :: 12 - v :: MINING PLAN OF BARA TENGRANI STONE MINE (3.00 ACRES) LESSEE – M/s RAJA MINERALS

there is no chance of intervene the water body. The Surface run-off flows through seasonal nala and fall finally in Kharkai River which is located on the Eastern side at a distance of about 1.5 km from the Mining lease area.

Air Quality: It is proposed that during this plan period, mining operation in the area shall be continued by opencast (OTFM) method by using excavator in combination of number of Dumpers etc. This may cause impact on air quality. The dust will be generated due to movements of vehicles, Dumper etc. So, after the commencement of mining operation, Ambient Air Quality of the area shall be monitored to know the quality of air. However, water spraying on haul roads, Green belt development along safety zone etc will act as a screen for dust and AAQ control.

Plantation: Reclamation and Rehabilitation of land shall be carried out by means of plantation. The plantation shall be done in safety zone area. Total 1383 plants have been proposed covering 0.553ha area during this plan period. In the long run, this will create a green belt all around the lease area. Plantation along statutory barrier (7.5 m from the all along the ML boundary and dead bench) shall be carried out on yearly basis to develop a green belt. The detail of plantation proposed during this plan period is given in Chapter – 11.

4.0 CLOSURE PLAN: 4.1 Mined Out Land:

Existing Land use: This is an old working mine, as such 0.118ha area has been degraded due to mining and allied activities.

Land use at the end of plan period: Due to development of the pit, total 1.215ha area shall be in use due to mining and allied activities by the end of the plan period.

4.2 Water Quality Management: Surface and ground water is not affected due to mining activity of this mine. There is no perennial source within the leasehold. There is no cause of contamination of water, as no industrial effluent is discharged and there is also no quarry discharge water from mine. The proposed working RL of the quarry by the end of this plan period will be at much higher level from the water table, as such, there will be no impact on ground water body due to this mining.

For this, following measures are being proposed to control water pollution during rainy season, if any:-

 Construction of drain to guide the rain water from higher to lower contour. Drain to be cleaned up periodically.

 Strengthening of small / rock barriers across the drains at intervals to check the water current and to arrest the solid particles.

4.3 Air Quality Management: Mining operation in the area was carried out by open caste manual method by deployment of labour in the previous period. The Ambient Air Quality (AAQ) of the area is not affected as mining activity is suspended because EC of mining lease is under process. It is proposed that during this plan period, there may be some generation of dust due to crushing, transportation etc. As a preventive measure, water sprinkling shall be done on the haul roads to suppress the dust. Plantation shall be done within the safety zone to create a green belt all along the ML boundary. Wet drilling is proposed as & when required.

4.4 Waste Management: During this plan period, it has been calculated that total 8583.32 cum waste shall be generated. All the waste shall be utilized for repairing the approaching road and maintenance of haul road and maintaining the approach road. As such, no area has been selected for waste dumping. And hence, no waste management plan is required at this plan period.

4.5 Top-Soil Management: In fact, there is no top soil in the target area.

4.6 Tailing Dam Management: Not applicable

4.7 Infrastructure: There is no infrastructure in the lease area.

4.8 Disposal of Mining Machinery: Not applicable

4.9 Safety and Security: The life of the mine has been anticipated to be 3.47 or 3.5 years based on mineralized area marked. It has been calculated that at this stage, about 1.215ha area will come under excavation. The proposed working of stone deposit has been planned up to depth of 177mRL. At this stage, Here the Plan period is its ultimate stage, total 1.215 ha area shall come under degradation. Out of this excavated area 0.638 Ha whereas the mine will not completely exhaust into depth due its steep slope. The excavation will be only at proved level. Therefore only dead benches are remaining. . On the other hand, year-wise plantation will be carried out along the safety zone to develop a green belt. Till that time, private security guards will be engaged for security and

safety.

4.10 Disaster Management and Risk Assessment: High risk factors such as landslide, subsidence flood, fire, tailing dam failure etc are neither encountered nor anticipated. As such, emergency plan for quick evacuation, ameliorative measures are not proposed.

4.11 Care and maintenance during temporary discontinuance: The following protective measures would be taken up to deal with the unforeseen circum stances that may arise due to temporary discontinuance of the mine.

[ i. The entry of the pits would be fenced with Notice Board at the fences prohibiting entry into any of the pits by unauthorized persons.

ii. The boundaries of the pits would be fenced off to prevent cattle entering any of the pits.

iii. Audible warning sirens will be established at the mine office to be used during emergency so that prompt help can be received from proper sources.

5.0 ECONONMIC REPERCUSSIONS OF CLOSURE OF MINE AND MANPOWER RETRENCHMENTS:

5.1 Number of local residents employed in the mine, status of the continuation of family occupation and scope of joining the occupation back.

At the closure of mine, it is sure that there would be economic repercussions & Manpower retrenchment. But at the same time the lessee would take responsibility for the men who were working for him by opening some new business such as dairy farm, piggery farm & other job oriented works so that they can be further employed and engage them in his sister concern.

5.2 Compensation given or to be given to the employees connecting with sustenance of himself and their family members.

At this stage, the mine is not envisaged for final closure due to the reason stated earlier. However, in the case of final closure of the mine, due compensation and statutory monitory benefits shall be accorded to the workmen. Also they can join their family occupation, which is agriculture.

5.3 Satellite occupations connected to the mining industry – number of persons engaged therein – continuance of such business after mine closes.

In case of final closure of the mine the skilled and semi-skilled workers such as Drivers, Operators, Khalasi, Mate etc. shall be provided alternate jobs, if possible, in any of the sister concern of the management.

5.4 Continued engagement of employees in the rehabilitated status of mining lease area and any other remnant activities.

Already explained in item 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3.

5.5 Envisaged repercussions on the expectation of the society around due to closure of mine.

The area disturbed by mining activity shall be restored at the time of final closure of mine. Total 1.215 ha land shall be degraded by the end of this plan period. Keeping in view the present status of the mine, 1.215 ha area shall be degraded up to the conceptual stage. Here the Plan period is its ultimate stage, total 1.215 ha area shall come under degradation. Out of this excavated area 0.638 Ha whereas the mine will not completely exhaust into depth due its steep slope. The excavation will be only at proved level. Therefore only dead benches are remaining.
