  • Mine Water Utilization Status Report – Format Circulated to Coal Companies by Moc
    Ministry of Coal Sustainable Development Cell Status Report on Mine Water Utilization June, 2021 PREFACE Coal plays a crucial role in India’s energy consumption matrix and is expected to remain the bedrock of the energy supply for the country till 2030 and beyond. Coal India Limited (CIL), NLC India Limited (NLCIL) and Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) are key contributors towards coal production in India and have set ambitious targets to push up coal production in the coming years. Apart from coal production, emphasis is also placed on facilitating improvement in social and environmental scenario of coal mining areas through various forums / mechanisms; utilization of mine water is a stepping stone towards fulfilling this agenda. Mine water generation occurs where aquifers surrounding the coal seams get exposed during the mining operation – the result is an accumulation of groundwater in a sump within the mine. In order to continue safe mining operations, the accumulated mine water is dewatered to a separate sump within the mine lease area. Generally, these mine water sumps / pit lakes are retained even post closure of the mines and provide an excellent opportunity for storage of freshwater. Such accumulated mine water lakes are usually free from pollutants and can be utilized as a source of water with an aim towards enhancing environmental responsibility by coal producing companies. Mine water can be utilized for the following broad purposes: for industrial and domestic purposes within the mining project, for community uses

  • Coal Mines and Related Activities Versus Environment in Orissa
    August - October ‘05 Vol-2 No-1 The countrys industrial heritage was built upon indigenous coal. India ranks 3rd among the coal producing countries in the world which fulfills 63%. of the countrys energy need. It is expected that coal production in India will soon double. Orissa shares 24.60%. of the countrys reserves covering an area of 18482.857 ha in 26 mines located in Talcher & Ib valley area. Although coal supplies the bulk of energy needs, its mining and usage cause environmental damage, such as air pollution, noise pollution, land degradation and water pollution.

  • Compendium of Mineral Resources of Orissa
    COMPENDIUM OF MINERAL RESOURCES OF ORISSA Government Orissa Department of Steel and Mines 2 0 0 9 Compendium of Mineral Resources of Orissa Orissa, situated on the eastern seaboard of India is one of the gifted parts of the World, where a gamut of mineral resources exist in bounty. The state is endowed with large reserves of bauxite, chinaclay, chromite, coal, dolomite, fireclay, graphite, gemstones, iron ore, limestone, manganese ore, mineral sand, nickel ore, pyrophylite and quartz. Recent discovery of diamond in the Dharambandha area of Nuapada district by the State Directorate of Geology has added a coloured feather in the cap of the state. Other minerals of the state include copper ore, lead ore, titanium bearing vanadiferous magnetite, talc/ soap stone and high magnesia igneous rocks. Recent boom of the mineral industry has turned the state in to a hotspot, with entrepreneurs from all over the World crowding the state for their share of fortune. The rich mineral wealth of the state is attributed to its favourable Geological setup. Situated on the eastern fringe of the peninsular India, Orissa has about 72.5%of the area occupied by Precambrian metamorphic rocks (of Archaean and Proterozoic age) which hosts the majority of the minerals. The Gondwanas hosting the coal resources occur over about 8% of the landmass. The tertiary and quaternary formations, occupying rest of the area, provide avenues for aluminous/ nickeliferous laterite and heavy minerals (in beach sand). The Archaean rocks in northern Orissa include the Supracrustal belts of metasedimentary rocks including Iron Ore Super Group having deposits of iron, manganese, gold and basemetals.
