The area is easily approachable from the Noamundi Jagannathpur PWD road which is crossing at a distance of about 0.17KM from the lease area. The nearest Railway Station is Padapahar Railway Station which is located at a distance of about 3.5 km on the South-eastern side from lease area.

The area represents small hillock of stone (Dolerite), elevation ranging from 443 m to 439 m above from Mean Sea Level. The highest elevation i.e. 443 m is situated on the Western side of the lease boundary whereas lowest relief is 439 mRL which is situated at base of the quarry. The stone exposed throughout the area. The general slope of the area is towards North-East side.

GEOLOGY:

Regional Geology:

The geology of the West Singhbhum 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 this area 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

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

Local geology: The geology of the rock types of Gundijora stone mine follows the Regional stratigraphy of this region.There is overburden 0.3m in the lease area. The Dolerite Boulders exposed in the quarry is associated with lateritic morrum mixed with quartzite pebbles. The general trend of the deposition is along North East side. On the basis of geological field study, a geological map has been prepared with a contour interval of 1m showing rock types. (Refer Plate – 4).

The local geological succession of rocks in the area as observed during field study is as below,-

Sl. No Litho-units Avg. Thickness 1 Lateritic morrum mixed with 0.3 m quartzite pebbles 2 Weather Dolerite 3 Dolerite 13.7m

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 1m. The detail of Geological survey work carried out including evidence of Stone (Dolerite) existence has been shown on the Geological Plan (Plate – 4).

(Dr. G. S. Jaiswal) RQP /CAL /151 /90 /A :: 3 - ii :: GUNDIJORA STONE MINE (4.00 ACRES) LESSEE - SHRI AJAY KUMAR

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.

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 the entire lease area is covered with exposure of stone.

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 Mineral resources have been estimated during the preparation of this Modified mining plan. The resources have been estimated on the basis of the data observed directly from surface exposure and quarry exposure. The existing exposures and quarry within the lease area provide the data of mineralization. Mineral exposure within the lease area and in quarry is 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 173.00 96.00 13.70 442.70 429.00

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 mineral resources & reserves. 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 varying in section to section which is given in Geological section Plate no- 5.

(Dr. G. S. Jaiswal) RQP /CAL /151 /90 /A :: 3 - iii :: GUNDIJORA STONE MINE (4.00 ACRES) LESSEE - SHRI AJAY KUMAR

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

d) Recovery: The exposure of the lease area is only covered of rock, so 95% recovery taken.

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

MINERAL RESOURCES & RESERVES

Proved Thickness - Thickness of the stone body as observed in quarry base has been considered under proved depth. The max proved depth has been considered in section which bottom R.L. is 439m. The thickness of the stone body is variable from section to section.

Probable Thickness - For estimation of indicated resources, further 10m 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, then taking recovery of 95% 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:

i) 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 and Infrastructure resources are available. 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.

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.

4.0 MINING

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, infrastructure etc. At present, total 0.367 ha area has been broken due to mining and allied activities out of which 0.272 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 0.272

Waste Dump - Road 0.078 Storage - Infrastructure 0.020 (0.003 included in Mining.) Plantation - (Green Belt) Total 0.367

Existing & proposed method of mining: The mining operation was carried out by open caste (OTFM) mining method by using HEMM for excavation, production and removal of waste with a combination of dumper/Hyva. Drilling/blasting operation was carried out in the past years. Same mining method has been proposed for this modified plan period. The mining operation shall be carried out by open caste (OTFM) method by using HEMM for excavation, production and removal of waste with a combination of dumper/hyva.

Drilling and blasting shall be carried out to reduce the big boulders to make it required size (of around 8”) for the crushing unit by engaging authorized explosive agency under competent supervision. However, regular blasting is not envisaged at this stage. Rock breaker is also proposed to be engaged for breaking the boulders and to reduce the drilling/blasting in the area.

Mineral reserve (MT) 287752.63 Production capacity / year (MT) 84961.76 Life of the mine (Years) 3.39

f) Attach a note furnishing a conceptual mining plan for the entire lease period based on the geological mining and environmental considerations.

i) Exploration programme: No exploration has been chalked out at this stage as all the hills within the lease area are covered with Stone exposure.

ii) 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 1.198 ha. The ultimate pit limit is earmarked both in plan and sections.

iii) Disposal of waste rocks and in saleable mineral:

Waste dump:

It can be seen from the development program that there will be a generation of 7481.30 cum waste, and the total generated waste shall be used for maintenance of haul road & village road. So no any area shall select for dump.

Reclamation & Rehabilitation: This is an old working mine for stone mining lease and the mining operation in this area shall be carried out by other than fully mechanized mining method (OTFM). At present not a single quarry or part thereof has been exhausted. Further, it will not be exhausted during

(Dr. G. S. Jaiswal) RQP /CAL /151 /90 /A. :: 4 - viii :: GUNDIJORA STONE MINE (4.00 ACRES) LESSEE - SHRI AJAY KUMAR this modified plan period as such no reclamation and rehabilitation arise only in safety zone reclamation and rehabilitation by plantation has been proposed. Based on the present mineralized zone, this area is going to be exhausted after 3.39 years.

At this stage, a portion of mined out area which reached below the surface level i.e. 0.860ha area shall be left as water reservoir for rain water harvesting, the water of which will be utilized by local people for their domestic purpose rather rest dead benches area shall be plantation.

Existing Land use: This is a old working mine as such the area has been degraded due to mining and allied activities such as degraded by way of quarry, road, infrastructure etc. At present, total 0.367 ha area has been broken due to mining and allied activities out of which, 0.2724 ha is due to quarry.

Land use at the end of modified plan period: Total 1.619 ha area shall be in use due to mining and allied activities by the end of this modified plan period out of which 1.198ha area comes under excavation.

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. As per life of the mine this area is exhausted after 3.39 years. It has been calculated that total 1.619ha area shall be in use due to mining and allied activities by the end of the life of the mine out of which 1.198ha area comes under excavation.

RECLAMATION:

Existing position: No existing reclamation area.

Reclamation at the end of modified plan period: There is no proposal of reclamation of any pit during this modified plan period due to the reason stated above. Only plantation along the safety zone and dead bench is proposed to be carried out.

(Dr. G. S. Jaiswal) RQP /CAL /151 /90 /A. :: 4 - ix :: GUNDIJORA STONE MINE (4.00 ACRES) LESSEE - SHRI AJAY KUMAR

Reclamation at conceptual stage: The life of the mine shall be 3.39 years based on mineralized area marked. It has been calculated that at this stage, about 1.198 ha area shall come under excavation. At this stage, a portion of mined out area which reached below the surface level i.e. 0.860ha area shall be left as water reservoir for rain water harvesting, the water of which will be utilized by local people for their domestic purpose rather rest dead benches area shall be plantation.

Afforestation: 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 modified plan period is given in Chapter – 11.

Finally, at ultimate stage, reclamation and post mining land use pattern of the area shall emerge as follows:- i) Total 1.619 ha area shall be degraded due to mining & allied activities. Out of this 1.198 ha area shall be due to excavation. At this stage, a portion of mined out area which reached below the surface level i.e. 0.860ha area shall be left as water reservoir for rain water harvesting, the water of which will be utilized by local people for their domestic purpose rather rest dead benches area shall be plantation.

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

Keeping in view the production target, the method of mining adopted shall be by opencast other than fully mechanized (OTFM) method on a single shift basis with the deployment of rock breaker, excavator, Jack-hammer drill, compressor and Dumpers/hyva. The development of the faces shall be carried out keeping the bench height at 6m and width not less than 10m for easy plying of HEMM.

The average number of working day in a year would be 300 days. The face width will vary as per the working. For scientific mining, the development is proposed to be started from the top of the area and goes down in subsequent year of working by way of benching method. The rock shall be drilling & blasted. Rock breaker shall also be used for breaking the big boulders at faces. The development of the faces shall be carried out keeping the bench height at 6m and width not less than 10m for easy plying of HEMM. The reduced stone boulders are then transported to the crusher unit which is proposed inside the lease area, where finished product will be produced. Haul roads shall be made and maintained and the gradient of road shall be kept at 1:14 to 1:16.

The Layout of year wise workings, proposed road, proposed site services are shown in Plate no – 6A to 6D.

6. MINE DRAINAGE:

a) Likely depth of water table based on observations from nearby wells and water bodies.

The area represents small hillock of stone, elevation ranging from 443 m to 439 m above from Mean Sea Level. The highest elevation i.e. 443 m is situated on the Western side of the lease boundary whereas lowest relief is 439 mRL which is situated at base of the quarry. During the field study of the area, the surrounding wells and tube wells are also studied and it was observed that the ground water body is found at about 415mRL. Since the ultimate depth has been designed up to the depth of 429.00mRL, there is no chance of intervene the water body.

b) Workings expected to be…….m above/reach below water table by the year……….

This is an old working mine & there is one old quarry exists within the lease area. The top, bottom and ultimate working RL of the in the area are as follows:

Top RL Bottom RL Ultimate working depth (in m) (in m) (mRL)

443.00 439.00 429.00

It has been mentioned in details in Chapter - 3 that the mineral body is continuing up to a depth of 14m (max). The excavation will be done up to a depth of 429 mRL. As such, there is no chance of seepage of water and the quarry depth will not touch the water table.

c) Quantity and quality of water likely to be encountered, the pumping arrangements and places where the mine water is finally proposed to be discharged. Question of encountered of water due to seepage and its pumping arrangement does not arise due to the reason mentioned above.

11. 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 an old mine and mining operation was carried out for the production of stone utilized for local consumers. The area has been degraded due to mining and allied activities such as degraded by way of quarry, road, infrastructure etc. in the mining lease area. So, existing degradation of land due to excavation of stone is as follows. Table: 11.1 EXISTING LAND USE PATTERN OF THE AREA

Pattern of Utilization Existing Land use (Ha) Excavation 0.272

Waste Dump -

Road 0.078 Storage - Infrastructure 0.020 (0.003 included in Mining.) Plantation - (Green Belt) Total 0.367 ii) Water Regime:

The area represents small hillock of stone (dolerite) trending in elevation ranging from 443m to 439 m above from Mean Sea Level. The highest elevation i.e. 443 m is situated on the Western side of the lease boundary whereas lowest relief is 439 mRL which is situated at base of the quarry. During the field study of the area, the surrounding wells, tube wells are also studied and it was observed that the ground water body is found at about 415m RL. Since the ultimate depth has been designed up to the depth of 429mRL, there is no chance of intervene the water body. The surface runoff water from some dry small nala

GUNDIJORA STONE MINE (4.00 ACRES) LESSEE - SHRI AJAY KUMAR

periphery of the area finally connected to the Kotro Gara and Barnol Lor which is located on the North and Eastern side at a distance of about 0.7 km and 1.5 km respectively.

Rain Water:

The leasehold area is located in the West Singhbhum 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 which controls the overall drainage system /pattern of the area, are not going to be changed/redirected due to the proposed mining activities. Since the proposed pits will be above the surface level, there will be no accumulation of water occurred in the area.

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. The quarries on the top or on slope do not have any sign of seepage of water. During the field study of the area, the surrounding wells, tube wells are also studied and it was observed that the ground water body is found at about 415m RL. Since the ultimate depth has been designed up to the depth of 429mRL, there is no chance of intervene the water body. The surface runoff water from some dry small nala periphery of the area finally connected to the Kotro Gara and Barnol Lor which is located on the North and Eastern side at a distance of about 0.7 km and 1.5 km respectively.

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.

GUNDIJORA STONE MINE (4.00 ACRES) LESSEE - SHRI AJAY KUMAR

iv) Quality of Air, ambient noise level and water Mining operation in the area was carried out by open caste (OTFM) method in the previous year. As such, the Ambient Air Quality (AAQ) of the area is affected. It is proposed that the mining operation in the area shall be carried out by same method of mining in combination of number of Hyva, jack hammer etc. The source of noise in the area will be due to drilling, compressor operation and Hyva movement. During the plan period, there will be generation of noise due to use of HEMM. There is no water regime passing through the lease area. 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 shall not be affected due to mining activities. There will be no quarry discharge water from the mine.

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. 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 leasehold area. The nearest village is Gundijora which is situated at a distance of about 600m from the lease hold area & some other villages within 10 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 due to mining and allied activities such as degraded by way of quarry, road, crusher etc. At present, total 0.367 ha area has been broken due to mining and allied activities out of which, 0.272 ha is due to quarry. Now, during this modified plan period, it is proposed to develop the lease from top to bottom. It has been estimated that, about 1.619ha area shall be in use due to mining and allied activities by the end of the plan period out of which 1.198ha area comes under excavation. Existing land use and area to be degraded during this plan period is given in Table – 11.2. Table - 11.2

GUNDIJORA STONE MINE (4.00 ACRES) LESSEE - SHRI AJAY KUMAR

ii) Impact on Air Quality: It is proposed that during this plan period, mining operation in the area shall be carried out by opencast (OTFM) method by using excavator in combination of number of Hyva, jack hammer drill, etc. This may cause impact on air quality. The dust will be generated due to movements of heavy vehicles, hyva etc. So, Ambient Air Quality of the area shall be monitored at least twice in year to know the quality of air.

(iii) Impact on Dust Fall: It is proposed that during this plan period, mining operation in the area shall be carried out by opencast (OTFM) method by using excavator in combination of number of dumpers, jack hammer drill, etc. There will be some dust fall due to use of hywa, HEMM etc. This dust fall can be reduced by adopting regular water spraying on haul roads as well as by plantation.

(iv) Impact on Noise Characteristics: It is proposed that during this plan period, mining operation in the area shall be carried out by opencast (OTFM) method by using excavator in combination of number of Hywa, jack hammer drill, etc. However, there will be some noise pollution due to movement of hywa, HEMM etc.

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 no quarry discharge water from mine. The proposed working RL 429m 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.

vi) Vibration levels (due to blasting) : Only shallow hole drilling of 800mm, 1200mm and 1600mm shall be done. Hence the vibration level due to blasting will be very negligible.

(Dr. G. S. Jaiswal) RQP /CAL /151 /90 /A. :: 11 - v ::

GUNDIJORA STONE MINE (4.00 ACRES) LESSEE - SHRI AJAY KUMAR

vii) Impact on Socio-economics: The lease area for Stone mining is situated in West Singhbhum district and is located in backward areas 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 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 mine, 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. The inter-bedded soil is with debris type intimately mixed with morrum. 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:

This is an old working mine for stone mining lease and the mining operation in this area is going on by other than fully mechanized method. At present not a single quarry or part thereof has been exhausted. The life of the mine shall be 3.39 years based on mineralized area marked. It has been calculated that at this stage, about 1.198 ha area shall come under excavation. At this stage, a portion of mined out area which reached below the surface level and it is proposed 0.860 ha area shall be left as water reservoir for rain water harvesting, the water of which will be utilized by local people for their domestic purpose rather rest area shall be all the dead benches.

(Dr. G. S. Jaiswal) RQP /CAL /151 /90 /A. :: 11 - vi ::

GUNDIJORA STONE MINE (4.00 ACRES) LESSEE - SHRI AJAY KUMAR

Finally, at ultimate stage, reclamation and post mining land use pattern of the area shall emerge as follows:- i) Total 1.619 ha area shall be degraded due to mining & allied activities. Out of this 1.198 ha area shall be due to excavation. At this stage, a portion of mined out area which reached below the surface level and it is proposed 0.860 ha mined out area shall be left as water reservoir for rain water harvesting, the water of which will be utilized by local people for their domestic purpose rather rest area shall be all the dead benches.

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

Measures to control erosion/sedimentation of water courses: There is no perennial water course within the mining lease. The surface runoff water from some dry small nala periphery of the area finally connected to the Kotro Gara and Barnol lor which is located on the North and Eastern side at a distance of about 0.7 km and 1.5 km respectively.

Treatment and disposal of water from mine: Not applicable.

(Dr. G. S. Jaiswal) RQP /CAL /151 /90 /A. :: 11 - vii ::

GUNDIJORA STONE MINE (4.00 ACRES) LESSEE - SHRI AJAY KUMAR

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 small-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:-

 A drain around quarry, to arrest flow of loose sediments before discharge into the drainage system of region through settling tanks.

 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:

The following measures are proposed to be adopted for the abatement of excessive noise/vibration caused by blasting.

a. Suitable choice of machinery and equipment, which generate low level of vibrations.

b. Proper padding and mounting of equipment and ventilation system to absorb and reduce the noise / vibration levels.

c. Adopting improved blasting technology to minimize noise level & vibration.

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: Considering the proposed scale of operation and assessing the base line data on physical environment, the possible environmental impact due to proposed mining activities, will note adverse rather mining activity in the area has brought some positive effect like better employment potentiality, better health care, better living, better sanitation conditions etc.

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 an old working mine but no mining plan or scheme of mining has been prepared earlier. The mining plan was prepared under Rule 34A of Jharkhand minor Mineral concession (Ammended) rule 2014 and approved but due to want of EC, no mining operation has been started in the area. As such, question of review of implementation of mining plan including five years progressive closure plan does not arise.

However, developments, excavation, production of mineral, generation of intercalated etc for the next (2016-17 to 2019-20) year till 19 December 2019, plan period have been chalked out. The details layout of the proposed quarry & development sections are indicated in Plate – 6 (A-D). Also, a detail is given in Chapter – 4.

Water Regime: - The area represents small hillock of stone (dolerite) trending in elevation ranging from 443m to 439 m above from Mean Sea Level. The highest elevation i.e. 443 m is situated on the Western side of the lease boundary whereas lowest relief is 439 mRL which is situated at base of the quarry. During the field study of the area, the surrounding wells, tube wells are also studied and it was observed that the ground water body is found at about 415m RL. Since the ultimate depth has been designed up to the depth of 429mRL, there is no chance of intervene the water body. The surface runoff water from some dry small nala periphery of the area finally connected to the Kotro Gara and Barnol Lor which is located on the North and Eastern side at a distance of about 0.7 km and 1.5 km respectively.

Air Quality: - It is proposed that during this plan period, mining operation in the area shall be carried out by opencast (OTFM) method by using excavator in combination of number of Hyva, Jack- Hammer drill, etc. This may cause impact on air quality. The dust will be generated due to movements of heavy vehicles, hyva etc. So, Ambient Air Quality of the area shall be monitored at least once to know the quality of air.

(Dr. G. S. Jaiswal) RQP /CAL /151 /90 /A :: 12 - v :: GUNDIJORA STONE MINE (4.00 ACRES) LESSEE- SHRI AJAY KUMAR

However, the dust fall rate will be reduced by adopting regular water spraying on haul roads and by plantation in the area.

Plantation: - Reclamation and Rehabilitation of land shall be carried out by means of plantation. The plantation shall be done in safety zone area. Total 1052 plants have been proposed covering 0.421 ha 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) 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 a old working mine as such the area has been degraded due to mining and allied activities such as degraded by way of quarry, road, infrastructure etc. At present, total 0.367 ha area has been broken due to mining and allied activities out of which, 0.2724 ha is due to quarry.

Land use at the end of modified plan period: Total 1.619 ha area shall be in use due to mining and allied activities by the end of this modified plan period out of which 1.198ha area comes under excavation.

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. As per life of the mine this area is exhausted after 3.39 years. It has been calculated that total 1.619ha area shall be in use due to mining and allied activities by the end of the life of the mine out of which 1.198ha area comes under excavation.

4.2 Water Quality Management: Surface water and ground water sources are not affected due to this project. Since mining will be restricted above water table and 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 discharge water from the quarry. But during rainy season

(Dr. G. S. Jaiswal) RQP /CAL /151 /90 /A :: 12 - vi :: GUNDIJORA STONE MINE (4.00 ACRES) LESSEE- SHRI AJAY KUMAR

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:-

 A drain around quarry, to arrest flow of loose sediments before discharge into the drainage system of region through settling tanks.

 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 (OTFM) method in the previous year. As such, the Ambient Air Quality (AAQ) of the area is affected. It is proposed that during this modified 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: It can be seen from the development program that there will be a generation of 7481.30 cum waste, and the total generated waste shall be used for maintenance of haul road & village road. So no any area shall select for dump.

4.5 Top-Soil Management: There is no top-soil cover in the area. The inter-bedded soil is with debris type intimately mixed with morrum. During the modified plan period, no topsoil shall be generated.

4.6 Tailing Dam Management: Not applicable

4.7 Infrastructure: It is an old working mine. There is old site office in this lease area. Site services like mine office, rest shed, First aid centre, drinking water facility etc will be provided at the mine side.

(Dr. G. S. Jaiswal) RQP /CAL /151 /90 /A :: 12 - vii :: GUNDIJORA STONE MINE (4.00 ACRES) LESSEE- SHRI AJAY KUMAR

The power shall be provided by D.G. and fuel like diesel provided to the machinery by four wheeler camper as daily use.

4.8 Disposal of Mining Machinery: It is plan to start mining operation by open cast (OTFM) method, where the stone boulder (of different sizes) will be excavated. The size of the boulders shall be reduced by drilling & blasting. For this, rock breaker is also proposed. As most of the machineries are on hired, removal of machinery can be done any time as per requirement.

4.9 Safety and Security: The life of the mine has been anticipated to be 3.39 years based on mineralized area marked. It has been calculated that at this stage, about 1.198ha area will come under excavation. At this stage, a portion of mined out area which reached below the surface level and it is proposed 0.860ha mined out area shall be left as water reservoir for rain water harvesting, the water of which will be utilized by local people for their domestic purpose rather rest area shall be proposed for plantation of all the dead benches. 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 1.619ha land shall be degraded by the end of this modified plan period. Keeping in view the present status of the mine, 1.619ha area shall be degraded up to the conceptual stage. and it is proposed 0.860 ha area shall be left as water reservoir for rain water

(Dr. G. S. Jaiswal) RQP /CAL /151 /90 /A :: 12 - ix :: GUNDIJORA STONE MINE (4.00 ACRES) LESSEE- SHRI AJAY KUMAR

harvesting, the water of which will be utilized by local people for their domestic purpose rather rest area shall be proposed for plantation of all the dead benches.

6.0 TIME SCHEDULING FOR ABANDONMENT: Since the geological reserve is sufficient enough. The life of the mine is estimated to the tune of 3.39 years, therefore question of time scheduling for abandonment does not arise at present.

7.0 ABANDONMENT COST: There is no possibility of abandonment of deposit during this plan period. It has been calculated that the life of the mine 3.39 years. However, tentative costs of important activity during this plan period e.g, environment protection etc. have been indicated to have the idea about the funds. Monitoring of Air and noise shall be carried out. Tentative cost for this

will be Rs. 98080.00 during plan period.
