3.0. Justification for Phase-II

In this regard, reference is drawn to the minutes of 55th Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC) (Thermal & Coal Mining) meeting held on 27-28th August 2012 at New Delhi. The relevant portion of the minutes is reproduced below:-

Quote

“ 9. Jamuniya UG (0.72 MTPA to 0.828 MTPA) of M/s Western Coalfields Ltd.,, dist. Chindwara, M.P.

1. The proponent informed that the total land requirement for proposed Jamuniya Underground project is 407.00 ha. Out of which 74.70 ha is forest land and the balance is non forest land. The break-up of total land requirement as submitted in the EIA/EMP is summarized as below:-

Type of Rights Government Tendency Forest Total land Land(ha) land(ha) Land(ha) requirement(ha) All Rights 9.09 316.24 ----- 325.30 Surface Rights ---- 7.00 ----- 7.00 Mining Rights ------74.70 74.70 Total 9.09 323.24 74.70 407.00

2. The proponent had informed that there is no forest land required under Surface right/All right. The application for forestry Clearance under FC Act, 1980 has already been submitted and registered vide No.CWA/MMM/2012-82 dated 05.05.2012 and the proposal is presently with the MP State Government. Now in view of the recommendation of EAC, the EC requires submission of Stage-1 Forest Clearance, which may take considerable time and there is urgent need for increase of coal production to meet the growing demand of power in the country. The proponent had suggested an alternative proposal which include, inter alia, (i) in the first phase, EC is solicited for the project without forest land i.e. with some production capacity in a ML Area of 332.30 ha; (ii) Public Hearing has been conducted for the entire project land i.e. 407.00 ha (iii) all issues regarding environmental aspects in the proposed underground project has been addressed and presented before EAC(T&C); (iv) There is no change in the mining method; (v) Since there is no forest land under Surface/All right the initial mining activities namely incline drivage can start after EC. The Incline drivage (two nos. of 840 m each) and sinking of air shaff (194 m depth) will take about 3 years. Thereafter, the main dip development can start below non-forest land along with development of panels namely Panel 6, 14, 15 & 16 also below non-forest land which will take another 3-4 years. Therefore, during these 6-7 years’ time, the Stage-1 Forest Clearance is likely to be obtained, and once the Stage-I Forest Clearance is received, fresh EC application will be made for annexing additional land (i.e. forest land only) within the same capacity. In view of our above submission EC for proposed Jamunia UG project for a normative capacity of 0.72 MTPA & peak capacity of 0.828 MTPA in a ML Area of 332.30 ha without any forest land in the first phase may kindly be granted. 3. The Committee recommended for granting Environment Clearance to Phase – I project. However, the proponent was asked to seek EC for phase – II activities after the approval of forest land. ”

Unquote

As seen from the above, the EAC had recommended for granting EC for Phase-I project. Accordingly EC was granted for Phase-I without forest land vide letter dated 31.12.2012.

In the aforesaid minutes, EAC had also asked WCL to seek EC for Phase-II activities after the approval of forest land.

Now the approval of forest land (Stage-I FC) has been secured vide MoEF&CC’s letter dated 03.01.2018 (Copy of the same is enclosed as Annexure - IV). Hence this application for Phase – II is being made. 4.0. Public Hearing & Compliance Status

In fulfillment of the requirement of Environmental Impact Assessment Notification No. 1533 dated 14/09/2006 of Ministry of Environment & Forests, Government of India, New Delhi, Public Hearing in respect of proposed Jamunia Underground Project of M/s WCL of Pench Area for Lease Area 407.00 ha and Peak Production Capacity 0.828 MTPA was held on 30/07/2009 from 11.00 am at M/s Jamuniya Underground Project Campus Western Coalfields Limited, Pench Area Village: Jamuniya Tahsil:- Parasia, District Chhindwara (M.P.)

5.0. Land Acquisition

The Total Land involved in this project is about 299 hectares (291.57 ha under All Rights and 7 ha under Surface Rights) as per this Recast Project Report for Jamunia U/G Mine. The breakup of 299 ha of land is approximately 246 ha of Tenancy Land, 5 ha of Government Land & 41 ha of Forest Land required for the Project and 7 ha Tenancy Land required for Township.

The Project Report for Jamunia U/G Mine was approved by WCL Board on 22.02.2014 in which the total land provision was 376.94 hectares. Accordingly the acquisition of 376.94 hectares land is in final stage.

Out of 376.94 ha land, 299 ha land is actually required for Recast Project Report for Jamunia U/G Mine prepared in September 2015. The remaining 77.94 ha land to be acquired under Jamunia U/G Mine will be utilised in Expansion Project Report for Urdhan-Magrahi O/C Mine. The cost of 77.94 ha land will have to be transferred from Jamunia U/G to Urdhan-Magrahi O/C Report later on.

The breakup of land requirement as per RPR 2015 for 376.94 ha is summarized below:

Type of Rights Govt. Tenancy Forest Total land Land (ha) Land (ha) Land (ha) Requirement (ha)

All Rights 9.053 301.585 - 310.638

Surface Rights - 7.000 - 7.000

Mining Rights - - 59.302 59.302

Total 9.053 308.585 59.302 376.940

Accordingly, the Total Land required for Jamunia U/G Mine is 376.94 hectares, out of which 310.638 hectares would be acquired under All Rights, 7.00 hectares under Surface Rights and 59.302 hectares under Mining Rights (Forest Land).

As per actual acquisition, the land break up has been changed. Out of total 376.94 ha, 315.301 ha would be acquired under under All Rights, 7.00 ha under Surface Rights and 54.639 ha under Mining Rights (Forest Land).

Type of Rights Government Tendency Forest Total land Land(ha) land(ha) Land(ha) requirement(ha) All Rights 13.716 301.585 ----- 315.301 Surface Rights ---- 7.00 ----- 7.00 Mining Rights ------54.639 54.639 Total 13.716 308.585 54.639 376.94

In this Recast Project Report, the rehabilitation of Jamunia bastis / village are not proposed as only development has been considered beneath these villages taking angle of draw into consideration. However, In the Expansion Project Report for Urdhan-Magrahi O/C Mine submitted to WCL (yet to be approved), the rehabilitation of Jamunia bastis / village have been proposed, as overburden dumping has been proposed on the above land.

Accordingly, the stage-I FC has been secured for 54.639 ha. 6.0. Subsidence Management

Since underground mining method of coal extraction has been adopted in this mine and working is below 100 m depth, it is anticipated that no serious damage to the landscape and land use pattern will occur in this region.

In underground mining the damage to surface land occurs because of subsidence, which takes place during depillaring operation. However, the magnitude of subsidence depends on various factors viz.

i) Thickness of the seam ii) Percentage of extraction iii) Depth of the working iv) Width of the working v) Dip of the seam vi) Method of working vii) Goaf Support. viii) Nature of overlying strata. ix) Geological disturbances x) Surface topography etc.

Regarding subsidence prediction, a study has already been carried out in the adjacent project i.e. Dhankasa UG having same mining method and similar geo – mining condition and the same is reproduced below.

SUBSIDENCE MANAGEMENT

Sl. No. PARTICULARS 1. The subsidence prediction study was carried out in July 2006. 2. As per the study, the anticipated maximum subsidence over the mining area at the end of mine life is 2.935 m. 3. The maximum possible slope and tensile strain likely to occur over the mining area are 39.39 mm/ m and 20.96 mm/m. The perennial Gunor River and the seasonal Junapani nallah are unlikely to be affected by subsidence because sufficient barrier or solid coal pillar are supposed to be left vertically below and within 35degree angle of draw from the river/nallah

4. However, it is anticipated that, Forest may not be considerably affected by subsidence only the trees falling on the edges of the subsidence zone and surface cracks may get tilted or dislodged.

5. The Dhumka dhanna village and electric transmission are not likely to be affected by subsidence.

6. Close subsidence monitoring could be done over the panels while carrying out extraction in the upper seam-II (packet).The impact of subsidence and effectiveness of mitigative measures would be reviewed before the starting of depillaring in the lower seam –IV (combined).

7. Necessary corrections in subsidence estimation will be done.

Caving is proposed as method of extraction in this report. The depth of the mine varies from around 105m to 280m. The surface topography is hilly in nature and major portion is covered with forest. Subsidence Prediction studies were carried out by CMPDI (HQ) in July 2006. As per this study, the maximum anticipated subsidence over the mining area at the end of the mine life is 2.935m. The maximum possible slope and tensile strain likely to occur over the mining area are 39.39 mm/m and 20.96 mm/m respectively over panel IX. The perennial Gunor river and the seasonal Junapani nalla are unlikely to be affected by subsidence because sufficient barrier or solid coal pillars are proposed to be left vertically below and within 35o angle of draw from the river / nalla. The seasonal Dhankasa nalla is likely to be affected by a maximum of 0.084m subsidence and 0.80 mm/m tensile strain near panel I in Seam-IV (Combined) which is well within the permissible limits. The other small seasonal streamlets over the mining area are likely to be affected by a maximum of 2.640m subsidence and 19.38 mm/m tensile strain. Thus, due care has to be taken while extraction is done below them, such as avoiding extraction during monsoon and filling up the cracks developed in the streamlets bed, when dry, to avoid inrush of water below ground in the rainy season.

It is anticipated that the forest may not be considerably affected by subsidence. Only the trees falling on the edges of subsidence zones and surface cracks may get tilted or dislodged. After 20 years of mining some stretches of forest roads running over the mining area are likely to be affected by a maximum of 1.412m subsidence and 6.90mm/m tensile strain. Bhumka Dhana village and the electric transmission line are not likely to be affected by subsidence. It is recommended that while carrying out extraction in the upper Seam-II (Packet), close subsidence monitoring should be done over the panels. The impact of subsidence and effectiveness of mitigative measures should be reviewed before starting depillaring in the lower Seam-IV (Combine). On the basis of observed data, necessary correction in subsidence estimation may be done, if necessary.

While estimating the seam-wise extractable reserves, angle of draw of 35o has been considered. It is proposed to acquire the surface area affected due to subsidence and fence it to prevent unauthorized entry. The working of the mine has been planned considering the Subsidence prediction Studies carried out by CMPDIL. The liquidation plan has been prepared with the recommendations of the study. As per the study, except over the panel, the values of tensile strain likely to occur over the entire forest area after extraction of both the seams are below the permissible limit of 20 mm/m as prescribed by MOEF. To restrict the tensile strain within the permissible limit of 20 mm/m in the forest area, a time lag of about 5 years is to be maintained between extractions of successive panels in superimposition. This will allow the strata to settle before the extraction of lower seam. The magnitude of the cumulative slope/tilt is not likely to cause falling of trees as it will take place in two steps and at an interval of 5 years. It would be pertinent to mention here that the panel No. 9 in Seam – II packet will be developed and extracted in the 9th and 10th year while the same panel in Seam – IV combined will be developed and extracted in the 19th /20th & 21st year. This is in line with the Subsidence Prediction Report (an interval of more than 5 years which will significantly reduce the chances of tilting of trees). From the study report it is seen that the surface topography of the mining area is undulating with hills and valleys. The ground elevation varies from 720 m to 890 m i.e. difference of elevation of 170 m. For such terrain, the maximum anticipated subsidence of 2.935 m is unlikely to affect the drainage pattern of the area.

The depth of working in proposed Jamunia UG will vary from 108 m to 284 m with same set of seams. Therefore, it can be concluded that, the impact due to subsidence on surface at proposed Jamunia UG will be similar to Proposed Dhankasa UG and as such the impact on the drainage pattern of the area and on forest will be insignificant. While estimating the seam-wise extractable reserves, angle of draw of 35o has been considered. It is proposed to acquire the surface area affected due to subsidence and fence it to prevent unauthorized entry. Capital provision for compensatory afforestation and crop compensation has also been made in the PR. The subsidence cracks which reach the surface will be packed tightly with soil and mud and non-carbonaceous debris and regularly dozed so that topography does not change substantially and artificial water bodies are not created. 7.0. Land Reclamation / Management

Since underground mining method of coal extraction has been proposed in this mine, it is anticipated that no serious damage to the landscape and land use pattern will occur in this region. The detailed control measures to be adopted for controlling the subsidence as far as possible is being discussed here. The following measures and precautions shall be taken.

1. Around the depillaring area, co-related on the surface, protective bunds and garland drains shall be laid so that no water from surface enters the subsidence area, and through the cracks to the working area. 2. The surface cracks shall be sealed up by using shale, clay or other suitable material. 3. Depressed portions shall be leveled up using soil or clay or other suitable material.

There is statute to guide the development of seams below permanent structures, water bodies, etc so that the stability of the same is not endangered and also the safety of workings and workers below ground is ensured. In the project /mine under consideration the development of the seam has been planned in accordance with the statute.

It is also a statutory requirement to monitor subsidence regularly. For this purpose, grid pillars are located 30 m apart at the surface over the working panels land at intervals of 50 m beyond. Level sections are taken every quarter and plotted. These will provide information regarding progress of subsidence till stability or equilibrium conditions are reached.

The above mitigative measures, stipulations and their enforcement result in effective monitoring of subsidence.

Any cracks or potholes formed consequent to underground coal extraction would be filled up from time to time. However, the entire operation will be carried out strictly in accordance with the permission of DGMS & related guidelines. Regular monitoring will be carried out & records will be maintained as per statute. 8.0. CSR Activities in Pench Area For the Last 5 Years

WCL as a responsible corporate organization in Central India is playing a significant role in developing the region around its mines in the States of Madhya Pradesh & Maharashtra.

COAL MINING PROJECTS

The 55 th meeting of the reconstituted EAC (T &C) was held on 27 th -28 th August 2012 in Fazal Hall, Scope Convention Centre, Scope Complex, New Delhi to consider the projects of coal mining sector. The list of participants of EAC and the proponents is at Annexure-1 and 2 respectively. The Committee, while welcoming the new Member Secretary & Director Dr. Manoranjan Hota, bid farewell to Dr. T. Chandini, Member-Secretary & Director who has been given other assignments in the Ministry. The Committee had appreciated her constructive contribution for smooth and effective functioning of the Committee. Dr.Chandini also thanked the Committee for all the support in discharging her duties within the framework of EIA notification.

Confirmation of the minutes of the 53 rd meeting of EAC (T&C) held on 18 th-19 th July 2012 was confirmed.

1. Expansion of Coal Washery (2.4 MTPA to 3.6 MTPA) of M/s Hind Energy & Coal Beneficiation (India) Pvt. Ltd., located in village Hindadih, dist. Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh (EC based on TOR granted on 23.09.2010)

The proponent made the presentation. It was informed that the proposal is for expansion of the Coal washery at village Hindadih, district Bilaspur from the present 2.4 MTPA capacity (dry process) to 3.6 MTPA, whereby an additional unit of 1.2 MTPA using wet process would be added within existing plant premises. EC was granted for the existing washery vide MOEF letter dated 24.06.2008. The expansion has been necessary as many of the clients (end users) have sought washed coal with an ash content of about 34% which the dry process is not able to meet. The expansion washery would be established within 6 months. It was informed that the dry process technology involving mainly deshaling and crushing and sizing and removal of non-coal material helps reduce the ash content from 45-47% to 39%. The source of raw coal 1.2 MTPA with 46.21 % ash content would continue to be Gevra-Dipka mines of M/s SECL located at a distance of 30-40 km and others to whom the company has entered with MOU. The washed coal would be 0.78 MTPA with 35.42% ash content. Rejects would be 0.42 MTPA with 59.81% ash. It was informed that coal transportation is by rail from Gevra Railway Siding to a private Railway Siding located at a distance of about 6-7 km from the washery unit. Railway siding would be completed in 3 years time. It was informed that raw coal would be transported by rail up to Gevera railway station and a dedicated railway siding is proposed to be laid at Gatora railway station and from there by road in covered trucks up to site. The land for railway siding has already been acquired at Gatora. DPR & drawing have already been approved by South Eastern Central Railways. Proponent has asked extension till March 2014 for laying railway siding due to some policy decision from Ministry of Railway and extension granted by MoEF upto March 2014. Washed coal from the plant would be transported by road in covered trucks directly to customer either by road up to Gatora and from there by rail to the customer. The mode of transportation of washed coal with rejects would be depending on the MOU with customer, which either by road or rail transports. The entire quantity of coal rejects of 0.42 MTPA would be given to M/s Ind. Synergy Ltd. A MOU has been signed with M/s Ind. Synergy Ltd regarding utilization of washery rejects. Rejects and middling would be transported to M/s Ind. Synergy Ltd. by Rail which operating an integrated steel plant at Raigarh, Chhattisgarh. Rejects would be earlier stored in pucca plate form. The washery has Zero discharge. The effluent from the plant would lead to the thickener

from the MPPCB along with the video recording (CD) of the public hearing so as to enable the EAC to deliberate further.

3. The Committee, after discussions, decided to further consider the proposal upon receipt of the aforesaid details.

7. Wanoja OCP (0.50 MTPA normative and 0.575 MTPA peak in an ML area of 485.46 ha) of M/s WCL, located in Tehsil Warora, dist. Chandrapur, Maharashtra (Further consideration of TOR)

1. The project was earlier considered in EAC meeting held on 24-25.2.2010 & 28-29.04.2010.

2. Based on the presentation and deliberations, the Committee was of the view that most of the project area (455.46 ha) is on agriculture land with a single crop. Cotton is the main crop being cultivated in the area. The life of the mine is only about 10 years. The Committee was of the opinion that there would be about 300 inhabitants who are depending on this land for agriculture and their livelihood, will loose their land. The Committee desired that a Social Cost Benefit analysis should be carried out to see the viability of the mining activities. The Committee also desired that opinion of NEERI, Nagpur should be obtained in this regard.

3. The Committee after discussions decided to further consider the proposal upon receipt of the aforesaid details.

8. Chhinda OCP Expansion (0.18 MTPA to 0.65 MTPA in the existing ML area of 106.68 ha) of M/s Western Coalfields Ltd., Tehsil Parasia, dist. Chindwara, M.P. (Further consideration of EC based on TOR)

1. The above cited project had already been recommended for EC. The Proponent had informed that the work order of Base line data collection has already been given to CMPDI for the year 2012- 13 by vide letter dated WCOLI/MUKH./Parya/17-A/548 dated 14.08.2012. The proponent should furnish the seasonal data PM 2.5, PM 10 as specified in the TOR. The proponent should also submit the work order.

2. The Committee after discussions decided to further consider the proposal upon receipt of the aforesaid details.

9. Jamuniya UG (0.72 MTPA to 0.828 MTPA) of M/s Western Coalfields Ltd.,, dist. Chindwara, M.P.

1. The proponent informed that the total land requirement for proposed Jamuniya Underground project is 407.00 ha. Out of which 74.70 ha is forest land and the balance is non forest land. The break-up of total land requirement as submitted in the EIA/EMP is summarized as below:-

Type of Government Tendency Forest Total land Rights Land(ha) land(ha) Land(ha) requirement(ha) All Rights 9.09 316.24 ----- 325.30 Surface ----- 7.00 ---- 7.00 Rights Mining ------74.70 74.70 Rights Total 9.06 323.24 74.70 407.00

Page 9

2. The proponent had informed that there is no forest land required under Surface right/All right. The application for forestry Clearance under FC Act, 1980 has already been submitted and registered vide No.CWA/MMM/2012-82 dated 05.05.2012 and the proposal is presently with the MP State Government. Now in view of the recommendation of EAC, the EC requires submission of Stage-1 Forest Clearance, which may take considerable time and there is urgent need for increase of coal production to meet the growing demand of power in the country. The proponent had suggested an alternative proposal which include, inter alia, (i) in the first phase, EC is solicited for the project without forest land i.e. with some production capacity in a ML Area of 332.30 ha; (ii) Public Hearing has been conducted for the entire project land i.e. 407.00 ha (iii) all issues regarding environmental aspects in the proposed underground project has been addressed and presented before EAC(T&C); (iv) There is no change in the mining method; (v) Since there is no forest land under Surface/All right the initial mining activities namely incline driavge can start after EC. The Incline driavge (two nos. of 840 m each) and sinking of air shaff (194 m depth) will take about 3 years. Thereafter, the main dip development can start below non-forest land alongwith development of panels namely Panel 6, 14, 15 & 16 also below non-forest land which will take another 3-4 years. Therefore, during these 6-7 years time, the Stage-1 Forest Clearance is likely to be obtained, and once the Stage-I Forest Clearance is received, fresh EC application will be made for annexing additional land (i.e. forest land only) within the same capacity. In view of our above submission EC for proposed Jamuniya UG project for a normative capacity of 0.72 MTPA & peak capacity of 0.828 MTPA in a ML Area of 332.30 ha without any forest land in the first phase may kindly be granted.

3. The Committee recommended for granting Environment Clearance to Phase – I project. However, the proponent was asked to seek EC for phase – II activities after the approval of forest land .

10. Internal Discussion on ‘Environmental Clearance for ‘Slurry Washery Projects’ under the EIA Notification 2006.

The committee has desired to be apprised with a brief note on the subject, which could be discussed in the subsequent meeting.

11. Internal consideration of Letter dated 18.06.2012 from M/s Eastern Coalfields Ltd. on deleting Mohanpur OCP from Revised application for TOR for Cluster-4 Group of 4 mines located in Raniganj Coalfields, dist. Burdwan, W.B, considered in EAC (T&C) meeting held on 21 st -22 nd February 2012.

The EAC in its meeting held on 21-22 February, 2012, M’S ECL had included Mohanpur OCP as a part of the cluster-4. At the same time, MoEF had also separately received intimation from the Ministry of Coal stating that Mohanpur OCP would be expanding by 25% during the current year, then a separate application would be required to be made for Monaharpur OCP expansion for 1.5 MTPA under clause 7(ii) of the EIA Notification 2006. The Committee had earlier decided that a clarification be obtained from M/s ECL in this regard before considering the grant of the ToR. The Committee considered the information and desired that a self explanatory note be prepared for consideration in the next Committee.
