These have been washed by rainwater during rainy season and deposited in river bed in the form of boulders, gravels and sand of different sizes and shapes. These minerals are sorted by screening. The max depth of the minerals is not known. Soil/ alluvium varying in thickness from 2-4m constitute the top horizons in the area suitable for agriculture. Markanda & Begna Rivers meanders through the area exposing the alluvium and soil at the banks. Boulder, gravel & sand is found in the river bed. Thickness of Boulder, gravel & sand is more than 10meters. This bed is presently dry and water flows only during the rainy season The Sand exposed in the River bed of Markanda and its tributaries surrounding areas is the product of the deposition of the sediments brought and deposited in the flood plains of River Markanda. These sediments are of recent geological formation. The litho-units exposed within the river and surrounding areas have formed as water borne sediments brought by flood water during rainy season every year and deposited in riverbed.

2.11 REPLENISHMENT IN MINING AREA Replenishment Study of the area: A. Dendy-Bolton formula for calculation of Sediment Yeild Dandy Bolton formula is often used to check whether the sedimentation yield exceeds the replenishment rate but the whole question is whether there is adequate monitoring of the river basin, the answer is no as hydrological stations are sparsely spread. The formula uses catchment area and mean annual runoff as key determinants to give a yield value. It does not differentiate in basin wide smaller streams and their characteristics. CWC distinguishes river basins as classified and nonclassified, as per the latest hydrological data for unclassified River basins; there are 122 GDSW (Gauge, Discharge, Sediment & Water Quality) sites in 12 such basins, the number was 147 in 2005. This brings in context the whole issue of scientific mining, thereby indicating that the monitoring of sediment yield in rivers / streams within the river basins is essential to arrive at extraction rates and express and conduct environmental studies based on these basin wide characteristics which should become part of the‘Terms of Reference’. B. Sediment Yield versus Drainage Area Dandy and Bolton studied sedimentation data from about 1500 reservoirs, ponds, and sediment detention basins. In developing their formulas, they used data from about 800 of these reservoirs with drainage areas greater than or equal to 1 mi2. The smaller watersheds-those of drainage area less than 1 mi2- were excluded because of their large variability of sediments yield, reflecting the diverse effects of soils, local terrain, vegetation, land use, and agricultural practices. For drainage areas between 1 and 30,000 mi2,Dandy and Bolton found that the annual sediment yield per unit area was inversely related to the 0.16 power of the drainage area: In which S= sediment yield in tons per square mile per year; SR = Reference sediment yield corresponding to a 1- mi2 drainage area, equal to 1645 tons per year; A = drainage area in square miles; and AR = reference drainage area (1 mi2)

Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd. Annual sediment deposition at the place of mining: Ambala Unit-2 comprises of 23 mining quarries of total production of 75, 00,000 MTPA. Drainage basin area of river Markanda and Begna is 1547 Suqare kilo meter and average annual rainfall of area 925 mm is consider for sediment calculation. This is accomplished by taking the converted dimensionless ratio flow-duration curve and multiplying increments/duration of time in days by the sediment yield associated with that flow. The computations for total annual suspended and bed load sediment yield are given below: Sediment yield: Formula For Q < 2 in: S = 1280 Q 0.46 [1.43-0.26 log (A)] For Q > 2 in: S = 1965 e -0.055Q [1.43-0.26 log (A)] Here: Q (in) = Mean Annual run off = 925 mm A (mi2) = Catchment area= 1547 km2 Sediment yield S= (tons/yr) S= 1965 e-0.055x925[1.43 - 0.26 log (1547)] S = 101792.6 MT/Year Thus, 101792.6 MT/Year sediment will be regenerated every year in the catchment area increasing the mineable reserves. *source: - Calculation of sediment yield by the Dendy-Bolton formula Dendy-Bolton formula also says that actual sediments yield from individual drainage basins may vary 10 fold or even 100 fold from computed yields. Since itinerary of river Markanda and Begna indicates that its basin comprises of sediment rock with good average rainfall there will be fair chances of yield of sediments to be 50 fold of computed results. Hence actual sediment yield will be 101792.6 X 50= 5089630 MT/Year.

3.3 CLIMATIC CONDITION The climate of Ambala district can be classified as subtropical monsoon, mild &dry winter, hot summer and sub-humid which is mainly dry with very hot summer and cold winter except during monsoon season when moist air of oceanic origin penetrates into the district. The hot weather season starts from mid March to last week of the June followed by the south west monsoon which lasts upto September. The transition period from September to November forms the post monsoon season. The winter season starts late in November and remains up to first week of March. Rainfall: The normal annual rainfall of the district is 1076 mm, and is unevenly distributed over the area. The average rainy days are 44. The south west monsoon sets in from last week of June and withdraws in the end of September, contributing about 81% of normal annual rainfall. July and August are the wettest months. Rest 19% rainfall is received during non-monsoon period in the wake of western disturbances and thunderstorms. Generally rainfall in the district increases from southwest to northeast .The mean maximum temperature is 40.8o C(May &June) and mean minimum is 6.8o C (January) of the district. Normal Annual Rainfall: 1076 mm Normal monsoon Rainfall: 879 mm Temperature Mean Maximum: 40.8°C (May & June) Mean Minimum: 6.8 °C (January) Normal Rainy days: 44 (Source: District Groundwater Brochure CGWB). 3.4 PHYSIOGRAPHY 3.4.1 Relief Physiographic ally the area is slightly slopping NE to SW. However a little part in the extreme northeastern area of the district is occupied by Siwalik hills, and falls in the zone of “Dissected Rolling Plain”. The area slopes

Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

towards southwest with an average gradient of 1.5m/km. The general elevation in the district varies between 245m to 300m above MSL. The soils are non-calcareous and sandy loam on the surface, and loam to clayey loam at depth, and placed under the classification of soil as Udipsamments/Udorthents. 3.4.2 Drainage: The district area is occupied by Indo-Gangetic alluvim. There are no surface features worth to mention except that the area is traversed and drained by seasonal streams namely, Beghna and Markanda. The Major River Markanda flows from NE to SW which originates in Nahan hills.Chautang, Khand and Omla nalas of local existence also drain the district. The general slope of the land surface is From NE to SW and elevation of the lease area varies from 296m above msl near Noorgarh in north east to Rajoli 292m amsl in north. The general level near Mullana is about 277m amsl and 269m amsl in the extreme SE of the lease area The River Markanda provides the major drainage in the lease area. The general phygiograpy of the Lease area is gently sloping from NE to SW side indicating the flow direction of river. Refer Figure 3.2: Drainage Pattern of the Study Area.

3.5 REPLENISHMENT OF THE AREA The rotational mining shall be adopted to facilitate the replenishment of the excavated part of river during rainy season. Thus the mineable area has been divided in two parts i.e. the upstream part and the downstream part. The mining of these two part is suggested on rotation basis in such a way that working site of previous year mining will act as depository for the monsoon season.

3.6 HUMAN SETTLEMENT There is no human settlement within the applied lease area. Total 476 villages with 224334 household within the study area with population of 1128350.

3.7 HYDROLOGICAL ASPECTS The district is occupied by Indo-Gangetic alluvial plain of Quaternary age. The Central Ground Water Board has drilled 20 exploratory borehole, 3 slim holes, and 13 piezometers to delineate and determine potential aquifer zones, evaluation of aquifer characteristics etc. Seismic surveys conducted in the area reveal that alluvial thickness in the district is large and the basement rock is estimated to be encountered at 3000m depth below MSL. And thickness of alluvium thins down towards southwest. In south west and western parts of the district the sediments are more fine grained in nature, and constituted of fine to medium grained sands, clays, silts and kankars with occasional gravel. The clays are usually brown to yellowish in colour and sticky to silty in nature. The sands are usually fine grained, hence it becomes difficult to develop wells so as to give sand free water with conventional well designs. Towards east and south eastern part of the district the clays are cream or light grey coloured and are soft and silty. The sands are also mostly medium to coarse grained in nature in comparison to the fine texture of sands in south western and western part of the district. The ground water exploration revealed the presence of 3 aquifer groups down to a depth of 450 m. Applicant - M/s Astin Excavation & Mining Pvt. Ltd River Bed Mining

Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

comprising fine to medium grained sand, clay, silt and kankar with occasional gravel. The formation in general is fine grained in nature. The first granular zone forms the water table aquifer and occurs upto 167 m depth and is underlain by 10 to 15m thick clay bed. The second aquifer occurs at a depth ranging between 65 to 294m with varying thickness of 26 to 152m. This aquifer constitutes comparatively less coarse material than the first group and is characterised by presence of Kankar. The third one is characterised by fine sandy beds alternating with thick clay beds at a depth ranging from 197 to 385m. Exist between 180 and 205 m depth. The fourth aquifer occurs below 212 m onwards. Shallow tubewells are generally constructed upto a depth of 40 m. The discharge of shallow tubewells ranges 100 to 600 litres per minutes for a moderate drawdown. Deep tubewells constructed to a depth of 150m.yield upto 2000 to 3000 litres per minutes for 6m to 10m drawdown. However deeper tubewells tapping aquifer zones between150m to 400m depth, discharge ranges from 248 to3293 LPM for a drawdown ranging from 2.84 to 12.93m. Transmissivity values ranges from154 to 4900 m2 /day, storativity1.39x10-4 to 1.01x10-1. In general hydraulic conductivity values of aquifer zones decreases with depth, with in 150m depth it is around 10m/day and for deeper horizons between 150m to 400m was around 6m/day. Water level behavior: The depth to water level ranges from less than 3 m bgl to 14 m bgl and water level of deeper aquifer is reported up to 50 m bgl during pre monsoon period in Saha block.The water level is deep in a small area occupied by bouldary formation in the extreme north east corner of the district. The water logging condition exists in the area south west of Ambala city. The long-term water levels trend during pre monsoon period indicates in general average decline of 0.36 m per year with a range of 0.078m to 1.875m. The long-term water level trend is showing a rise in little area falling in northern part of Ambala block and not of much significance being 0.10 m per year.

Ground water flow: The elevation of the water table in the district varies from 245 m to 300 m above mean sea level. The average gradient of the water table is of the order of 1 m/km. The overall flow of ground water is from north east to southwest direction. Source –CGWB, Haryana

3.8 ATMOSPHERIC CONDITION Atmospheric conditions include meteorological condition and ambient air quality of the study area. Meteorological conditions with respect to wind velocity and direction in the study area was determined by IMD station Ambala. The required data for interpretation the ambient air quality of the study area was generated by establishing a monitoring network.

3.9 METEOROLOGY Introduction Meteorological factors such as wind speed; direction variation in temperature, humidity etc. play a direct role in dispersion of pollutants atmospheric pressure, rainfall and cloud cover also govern this activity. Other factors such as terrain and local topography also take part in atmospheric dispersion. Meteorology plays a vital role in affecting the dispersion of pollutants. Since meteorological factors show wide fluctuations with time, meaningful interpretation can be drawn only from long term reliable data. Such source of data is the Indian meteorological Department (IMD), which maintains a network of meteorological stations at several important locations. The nearest IMD stations Delhi, Meteorological information available for this station is temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed and wind direction. The data recorded at Delhi IMD station for the period March, 14 to May, 14 are summarized in below table.

Wind Rose Wind speed of a site plays a vital role in predicting the extent of air pollution. It gives a clear view about the extent to which air pollutants are carried before they touch the ground. Wind rose is diagrammatic representation of wind speed in a specified direction with its arms representing sixteen directions; each arm gives a clear frequency distribution of wind speed.

Wind roses are generated with the site meteorological information’s initially collected. These raw data are processed with certain interpolation and stability classes and joint frequency function are developed to eventually reach to the development of wind roses.

3.11 NOISE ENVIRONMENT Mining and allied activities are usually noise-prone activities. Excessive noise levels may cause adverse effects on human being and its associated environment including domestic animals, wild life, natural ecosystem and structure. The noise problem is said to exist when the sound level in the air causes interference in human activities such as disturbance in sleep, work and speech communication leading to annoyance. Perception of noise by individuals varies depending on number of factors such as natural sensitivity / hearing ability, level of exposure, time of the day, socio-cultural activities etc. at the time of exposure to sound. The impact of noise at community level can have different effects varying from aesthetic impairment such as annoyance, frequent hypertension to as high as loss of hearing. The health impact of noise on individual depends on several factors, viz. physical dose (intensity of sound pressure level and duration of exposure), frequency spectrum, intermittency etc. as well as human factors like sex, age, health condition, occupational exposure etc. The background noise levels within the mine and around it were recorded using sound meter to establish the existing scenario.

3.11.1 Monitoring Methodology of Noise Level Noise standards have been designated for different types of land use, i.e. residential, commercial, industrial and silence zones, as per ‘The Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000, Notified by the Ministry of Environment and Forests, New Delhi on February 14, 2000’. Different standards have been stipulated during day time (6 am to 10 pm) and night time (10 pm to 6 am). The noise analysis within the study area was recorded using 4-20, sound level meter. The analysis reveals that the noise’s well within the permissible range. The noise rating method as Leq i.e. equivalent sound pressure level has been adopted for the measurement of noise level in various selected sampling locations of this region. It is the energy means of the noise level over a specified period and is expressed in terms of decibels. Methodology for monitoring of noise levels is given in below table. 3.11.2 Location of Noise Monitoring Stations The location of Noise level monitoring is presented in below table.

Results of Analysis of the Soil

Soil is the media for supplying the nutrients for plant growth. Nutrients are available to plants at certain pH and pH of soils can reflect by addition of pollutants in it either by air, or by water or by solid waste or by all of these. In order to establish the baseline status of soil characteristics, soil samples were collected at 19 sampling locations. The analysis results show that soil is basic in nature as pH value ranges from 6.65 to 8.03, which shows that the soil is alkaline in nature. Potassium is found to be from 74.31 mg/kg to 186.48 mg/kg. The water holding capacity is found in between 18.79 to 38.45.

3.13 WATER ENVIRONMENT In order to conduct EIA Studies, baseline data pertaining to water environment of the existing project was carried out evaluating the basin characteristics, drainage pattern, and hydrology.

3.13.1 Surface Water Quality The project itself is a part of surface water body. The applied lease falls in Beghna and Markanda River, will not get polluted and bears a lot of dissolved oxygen in it. The natural treatment of the water current takes places for a considerable length from the place of origin as the ultraviolet radiation due to sun is quite high in the upper reaches. The applied lease area is free of industrial pollutants.

3.13.2 Ground Water Quality Assessment The sources of potable water are the hand pumps, tub-wells & dug well in the area. Samples were collected from the available water resources around the applied mine lease area. The samples were collected & tested from different sites.

The quality of ground water was studied by collecting water samples from representative open dug wells, tube wells & hand pumps. The details of

The study area is having lesser amount of plant diversity. The plants observed in the study area having some medicinal properties are presented in Table no 18. Faunal Investigation Mammals Faunal assessment provides a basis for determining relative abundance and rarity of each species which is important for assessing the diversity of fauna of a particular area. Since animals are capable of movements from one place to another, this makes their study entirely different. Different animals prefer different types of habitat for food and shelter. During survey species like Indian Hare (Lepus nigricollis), Five Striped Palm Squirrel (Funambulus pennanti) and Mangoose (Herpestes edwardsi) were observed in the study area. During the faunal investigation no Schedule-I species observed in the study area. The list of fauna/ reptiles/Amphibians found in the study area is given in Table 3.19. Avifauna Diversity of avifauna is one of the most important ecological indicators to evaluate the quality of habitats. Now-a-days, avifaunal diversity has been decreasing due to the destruction of natural habitats and human disturbances. Both plant and bird diversity has an important role in maintaining the ecological balance and these are the indicator of health of the ecosystem. Bird diversity has a direct relationship with plant diversity. Plant diversity provides a space to birds for nesting, feeding and breeding. Different land use in the study area was identified to get maximum bird diversity. The species observed in the study area are Common Myna (Acridotheres tristis), Small Blue Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis), Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis), Purple Sunbird (Cinnyris asiaticus), Blue Rock Pigeon (Columba livia), Magpie Robin (Copsychus saularis), Indian Roller (Coracias benghalensis), House Crow (Corvus splendens), Little Egret (Egretta garzetta), Koel (Eudynamys scolopaceus), Small Green Bee Eater (Merops orientalis), White

Mining activities will not cause any harm to riparian vegetation cover as the working will not extend beyond the offset left against the banks in the river. Land on both sides is the private agriculture land. Link road from the active zone pass through the areas. It is proposed to have plantation on both sides of the roads as greenbelt to provide cover against dust dissemination. River banks will be strengthened by way of plantation on the banks. Plantation will also be carried out as social forestry programme in villages, school and the areas allocated by the Panchayat/ State authorities. Native plants like Neem, Pipal, Khejri, Mango and other local species will be planted. A suitable combination of trees that can grow fast and also have good leaf cover shall be adopted to develop the greenbelt. It is proposed to plant 30,000 no’s of native species along with some fruit bearing and medicinal trees during the plan period. The expected rate survival is assumed at 80%. To improve the survival rate in the adverse climate condition necessary consultation would be taken from the Forest department. Proposed plantation area shall be fenced properly for improving the survival rate. Plantation will be carried out in the lease area in phased manner.

Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd. Criteria for selection of species for greenbelt The plant species suitable for greenbelt development need to be selected based on the following criteria:  Fast growing  Thick canopy cover  Perennial and evergreen  Large leaf area index  High sink potential Guidelines for plantation The plant species identified for greenbelt development should be planted using dug-pit technique. The pit size should be in between 45 cm x 45 cm x 45 cm to 60 cm x 60 cm x 60 cm depending on the soil quality. Soil proposed to be used for filling the pit should be mixed with well decomposed farm yard manure or sewage sludge at the rate of 3.6 kg (on dry weight basis).The filling of soils should be completed at least 5-10 days before the actual plantation. Healthy seedlings of identified species should be planted in each pit. Proper density of plants (no. per hectare) should be maintained within the greenbelt. The minimum distance between two plantations should be dependent on the choice of species and compatibility of different species to grow together. The distance should be in between 2.5m to 5m for plantation in greenbelt. Roadside plantation Minimum of two rows of plants are required for plantation on roadside to minimize the pollution effects. While planting, care should be taken to ensure that plants in second row fall in between the two plants of first row. Selection of plant species Keeping in view the climatic condition status of soil (Agro climatic zone) and vegetation types the following plant species are suitable for plantation for the proposed project site. Plant species for green belt development are given in Table 3.23

3.1.7.5 Socio-economic Survey A) Sampling Method A judgmental and purposive sampling method was used for choosing respondents of various sections of the society i.e. Sarpanch, adult males and females, teachers, medical practitioners, businesspersons, agriculture laborers, fishermen, unemployed group etc. Judgmental and purposive sampling method includes the right cases from the total population that helps to fulfill the purpose of research needs. Data Collection Method Data collection is a term used to describe a process of preparing and collecting data, for example, as part of a process improvement or similar project. The purpose of data collection is to obtain information to keep on record, to make decisions about important issues, to pass information on to others. Primarily, data are collected to provide information regarding a specific topic. Data collection usually takes place early on in an improvement project, and is often formalized through a data collection plan which often contains the following activity.

Main types of data collection include census, sample survey, and administrative by- product and each with their respective advantages and disadvantages. A census refers to data collection about everyone or everything in a group or population and has advantages, such as accuracy and detail and disadvantages, such as cost and time. Field Survey and Observations Field research involves the collection of primary data or information that is new. This is collected through surveys and questionnaires that are made out specifically for a purpose Observations can be conducted on nearly any subject matter and the kinds of observations will do depend on survey question. Field Survey and Observations were made at each sampling village and the quality of life of that region is studied. Visits were made at hospitals, primary health centers and sub-centers to know the health status of the region. Various governmental organizations such as statistical department, department of census operations are visited to collect the population details of that region. Interview Method Interview is verbal questioning. Surveys are also conducted through interviews. Interviews consist of asking questions, listening to individuals and recording their responses. At times, you may find it more profitable to ask questions to a few individuals instead of carrying out a large-scale questionnaire based survey. The interview can be done very informally, e.g. as conversations with people met in the fields, co-operative stores or block offices. In these settings, one question leads to the next based on. The responses given to the previous one. At the other end of the scale, highly structured interviews often rely on questionnaires or interview schedules with mostly closed-ended questions that allow the respondents only a limited range of possible answers. Structured interview method is used to collect data regarding the awareness and opinion from the sample selected of the various socio- economic sections of the community. The questionnaire mainly highlights the parameters of primary needs.

CHAPTER – IV ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

4.1 INTRODUCTION Any human activity in any environment produces impact, modifying it to a status which is considered adverse or beneficial according to the damage or improvement it brings about in physical, chemical and biological status of air, water, land including biota and in socio-cultural life styles and economy of the populace it affects. Depending on the nature of activities and existing status, the impacts are assessed for their importance. On the basis of the impact analysis, the mitigating action and future monitoring requirement are focused in the Environmental Management Plan for counting or minimizing adverse impacts.

Effects of this mining project on each of the environmental parameters are detailed below in accordance with the parameter of environment likely to be affected. - Climate - Air environment - Land environment - Ecology - Water environment - Noise levels - Soil - Socio-economic environment - Cultural and Heritage environment

Applicant - M/s Astin Excavation & Mining Pvt. Ltd River Bed Mining

248 Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

Generally, the environmental impacts can be categorized as either primary or secondary. Primary impacts are those which can be attributed directly to the project. On the indirect or induced and typically include the associated investments and change patterns of social and economic by the proposed actions.

4.2 TOPOGRAPHY & DRAINAGE 4.2.1 Topography Topography of the surrounding area will remain unchanged. No change in topography of applied mining lease area, beacause due to removal of sand, temporary pits will be generated and it will be replenished during the monsoon.

4.2.2 Drainage Drainage pattern of the area is dendritic. The applied lease area is part of Beghna and Markanda river. The drainage pattern of the lease area is from NW to SE. Systematic mining i.e. removal of sand will be done as per approved mining plan. So there will be no impact on the drainage pattern.

Mitigation Measures  The mine working will be confined to river bed only and in no case disturbing any surface area outside which may affect topography or drainage.  Proposed Mining blocks for removal of sand will change the topography of river bed on temporary basis, which will be temporary and in monsoon itself will be restored to original position.  Mining will be done in a planned way i.e. removal and collection of minerals/working shall be started from the center part and then laterally in 3 meter thickness, so that the river course will not get affected.  Unwanted material including mineral or spillage (if any) will not be stacked on the bank side as it will hinder the flow of water in monsoon season.  The removal and collection of sand from river bed will not have any impact on natural drainage of surrounding area as the removed Bajri from river bed is filled with flow in river during monsoon season.

4.4 IMPACTS ON CLIMATE 4.4.1 Temperature The temperature pattern is a regional behavior and is not likely to be affected by the river bed mining activity over a small area. Some local effect may be perceived due to mining, afforestation and creation of voids in the applied lease area. 4.4.2 Rainfall The trend of rainfall, as studied and discussed in last chapter, forms part of a regional pattern, not dependent on the relatively small area of river bed mining activity. The mining operation, therefore, is not likely to have any adverse impact on rainfall pattern. 4.4.3 Wind Speed The wind speed in any area is dependent upon local topography and generation of elevation and depression of pressure changes in the region. The controlling factors for the pressure changes lie much beyond the control of small area under mining operations. Thus, no adverse impact on the regional wind speed is anticipated due to the mining operations. However, some local ground level changes may take place due to the buildings, green belt developed around the mine, etc. 4.4.4 Humidity The pattern of relative humidity depends mainly on the rainfall, wind, temperature and other weather phenomenon that regional in behavior. The mining operation is not likely to have any impact on the relative humidity in the surrounding. 4.5 IMPACT ON AIR ENVIRONMENT 4.5.1 Impact through Mathematical Modeling for Sand Mining Project As explained in the previous chapter, the ambient air quality monitoring

results show that all the parameters such as PM10, SO2, and NOx are within the limits prescribed by CPCB for “Industrial and Mixed use” areas as well as areas meant for “Residential and Rural” areas.

The major contribution of air pollution is by river bed mining, such as excavation, loading, transportation, and handling of Bajri. This will lead to

momentary rise in the particulate matter (PM10). The dust liberated in mining and other related operations is injurious to heath if inhaled in sufficient quantity.

4.5.2 Air Quality Modeling The impact of the expansion on the air quality has been predicated using Fugitive Dust Model (FDM) ,which is a computerized air quality model specifically designed for computing concentration and deposition impacts from fugitive dust sources. The sources may be point, line or area sources. The model has not been designed to compute the impacts of buoyant point sources, thus it contains no plume rise algorithm. The model is generally based on the well-known Gaussian Plume formulation for computing concentrations, but the model has been specifically adapted to incorporate an improved gradient transfer deposition algorithm. Emissions for each source are apportioned by the user into a series of particle size classes. A gravitational setting velocity and a deposition velocity are calculated by FDM for each class. 4.5.3 Pollutants / Model Options Considered for Computations

The model simulations deal with major Pollution Particulate Matter (PM10) and

gaseous emissions viz. SO2 & NO2. 4.5.4 Meteorological Data Data recorded by continuous weather monitoring station on wind speed, direction, and temperature at one hour interval for the monitoring period was used as meteorological input.

Mitigation measures  To control the emissions regular preventive maintenance of transportation vehicle will be carried out on contractual basis.  Proper mitigation measures like water sprinkling will be adopted to control dust emissions.  Plantation will be carried out on approach roads & nearby vicinity of river bank.  It is being ensured that all transportation vehicles will carry a valid PUC certificate.  There is no toxic element present in the mineral which may contaminate the soil.

(a) During Drilling & Blasting No drilling & blasting is involved in this project. (b) During Transport Operations  All the haul roads will be kept leveled, wide and compacted.  Regular water spraying will be done on haul roads in the applied mining area.  In order to reduce dust pollution, green belt will be developed.

4.6 IMPACT ON NOISE LEVEL The exposures to excessive noise levels can lead to:  Prevention of sleep, insomnia and fatigue.  Decrease in speech reception, communication, distraction and diminished concentration thus adversely affecting job performance efficiency.  Chronic psychological disturbance including impaired hearing.  Irreparable cardiovascular, respiratory and neuralgic damages in certain extreme cases.

Applicant - M/s Astin Excavation & Mining Pvt. Ltd River Bed Mining

252 Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

The area is general represents calm surroundings. There is no heavy traffic, industries or noisy habitation in the applied area. With the increase in scale of mining operations, vehicles operation and men, noise levels are expected to be increased.

Mitigation Measures  Periodical monitoring of noise will be done.  No other equipment’s except the transportation vehicles (truck trolley) will be allowed.  Noise generated by the transportation vehicles shall be intermittent and does not cause much adverse impact.  Proper maintenance of transportation vehicles will be carried out which help in reducing noise during operations.  Plantation will be taken up along the approach roads and vicinity of river bank. The plantation minimizes propagation of noise and also arrests dust.

4.7 IMPACT ON HYDROLOGICAL CONDITIONS

The applied lease area itself being part of River Beghna and Markanda. The flow of surface/ground water (sub surface flow) is following the trend of topography, which is in the NW to SE. The proposed working area remains dry for more than nine months in a year except for the rainy season. The mining of Bajri will be done up to a depth of 3mt, which will have insignificant impact on water regime.

The ground water table in the applied area is about 13.39-13.61mbgl meters below the surface of river bed. It will not be disturbed as ultimate working depth will be 3.0 m from the surface level. Thus the mine operation will not affect the hydrological conditions of the area. Every year during the monsoon season, the rain water would replenish the removed material, thus it will be positive impact on the ground water scenario in the subsequent mining period.

253 Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

4.8 IMPACT ON WATER QUALITY The proposed project is for removal of bajari from the river bed up to a depth of 3 mtrs only, which will not have any impact on the water quality. Mitigation Measures Removal of sand in the area will be done well above the water table as well as river bed water level therefore; no impact on water regime is anticipated. The river bed level while the workings in the area are proposed up to a max. depth of 3m. So that water level is not touched. No waste water will be generated from the proposed activity, as the project only involves removal/collection of Bajri from river bed.

4.9 IMPACT ON FLORA (Core & Buffer Zone) 4.9.1 Impacts As the mining activities will be confined to core zone only, no adverse impact is foreseen on the flora of buffer zone. The proposed project involves removal/collection of sand from river bed, construction of approach road & office which will not have any impact on the flora of core zone. 4.9.2 Mitigation Measures Working will be done in such a way that it will not affect the flora. Plantation will be carried out on approach roads and nearby vicinity at river banks areas will, over a period of time, to upgrade the flora.

4.10 IMPACT ON FAUNA (Core & Buffer Zone) 4.10.1 Impact No impact on the fauna is anticipated as removal/collection of sand will be done in the dry part of the proposed blocks of applied area. No endangered species found in the applied lease area. 4.10.2 Mitigation Measures The impact on the fauna due to the removal/ collection of sand will be negligible. Working will be confined to core zone only by manual means and fauna in the

Applicant - M/s Astin Excavation & Mining Pvt. Ltd River Bed Mining

254 Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

core zone is minimal. Even so, by restricting mining at any time to small areas, impact on fauna will be kept to the minimum. However, progressive plantation activity being undertaken will over a period of time create conditions favorable for fauna.

4.11 IMPACT ON LAND ENVIRONMENT 4.11.1 Land Use in Buffer Zone No adverse impact is anticipated on land use of buffer zone due to the proposed mining operations, as all the related activities are confined to the core zone.

4.11.2 Impact on land use pattern including change of river course If the mining is not carried out in a systematic manner by leaving sufficient safety barriers from bank then it may disturb the river flow/course.  Stacking of unwanted material including mineral or spillage (if any) on the bank side of the river will hinder the flow of water in monsoon season, raise water level upstream, which may lead to bank cutting or flouting.  Deviation from planned mining procedures can lead to river channel shifting as well as degradation of surrounding land, causing loss of properties and degradation of landscape.  Removal/collection of sand within a river bed may have some impact on the stream’s physical characteristics, such as channel geometry, bed elevation in stream roughness of the bed, flow velocity, discharge capacity, sediment transportation capacity etc.  Alteration or modification of the above attributes may cause noticeable hazardous impact on ecological equilibrium of riverine regime.

Mitigation Measures  Removal/collection of sand will be done from central part of river bed and sufficient safety barrier say 10% of width will be left towards bank side. So that the river flow/course will not get disturbed.

Applicant - M/s Astin Excavation & Mining Pvt. Ltd River Bed Mining

255 Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

 Removal/collection of sand will be started from dip side towards rise at the center and also laterally in 3 meter slice so that the river course will not get affected. Unwanted material or spillage (if any) will not be stacked by the side of the excavation voids created. This is to be done so, because it will otherwise hinder the flow of water in monsoon season.  Removal/collection of sand will be done by leaving safety barrier on both sides and maximum barrier should be on concave side of river preferably the flow channel (excavation void created) should be kept straight so as to help avoid erosion as side cutting.

4.11.3 Land Degradation Control Measures The present land use, land use after 5 years working land use of the applied leasehold area is given in below table.

7.3 RISK ASSESSMENT AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN All types of industries face certain types of hazards which can disrupt normal activities abruptly, similarly River Bed Mining also has impending dangers or risk which need be addressed for which a disaster management plan has been formulated with an aim of taking precautionary steps to avert disasters and also to take such action after the disaster which limits the damage to the minimum. Nevertheless, the following natural problems may be encountered during the mining operation. 1. Increase in gradient of the river – One of the most frequently occurring hazards of the river bed mining is the increase of river gradient due to haphazard mining practices. Due to selective mining in vast patches of the bed, the amount of suspended load, turbidity and velocity of the water may increase which may affect the overall behavior of the stream. 2. Dumping of waste material – the waste left from the river bed mining consists of unusable aggregates and mainly clay. The clay is generally dumped back in the mined out areas. Subsequently the clay gets mixed with stream water to results in increased turbidity and siltation downstream. 3. Water pollution – The left over aggregates are fine grained particles that are lifted easily by increase of stream water velocity. Retention times of these particles are long and quality of water is affected consequently. As per proposal made under the mining plan, during proposed working the area will be developed by means of semi-mechanized opencast mining method. Exploitation and transportation of minerals are to be carried out by excavator means. Water table will not be touched during processed working. No high risk accidents like landslides, subsidence flood etc. have been apprehended. But possibility of accidental disaster is also not ruled out. Therefore, all the statutory precautions should be taken for quick evacuation as per the Mines Act 1952, the Mines Rules 1955, MMR-1961 and MCDR-1988. The possible risks in the case of river bed mining project are bank erosion, floods, accidents due to transportation etc.

Mining and allied activities are associated with several potential hazards to both the employees and the public at large. A worker in a mine should be able to work under condition, which are adequately safe and healthy. At the same time the environmental condition should be such as not to impair his working efficiency. This is possible only when there is adequate safety in mines. Hence, safety is one of the most essential aspects of any working mine. safety of the mine and the employees will be taken care according to the mining rules & regulations, which are well defined with laid down procedure for safety, which when scrupulously followed safety is ensured not only to manpower but also to working environment.

7.3.1 Possible Risks Due To Inundation & Its Control Mining will be done during the non-monsoon periods; therefore problem of inundation is not likely to happen.

7.3.2 Dewatering Depth of mine is limited to 3m depth only from the river bed level whereas the ground water level varies from 13.39-13.61 mbgl. Hence no dewatering is required.

7.3.3 Possible Risks Due To Failure of Pit Slope & Its Control Pit will be created of limited depth only i.e. 3m thus the chance of failure of pit slope does not exist.

7.3.4 Possible Risks Due To Failure of Waste Dump & Its Control No waste dump is created therefore the question of failure of waste dump does not exist.

7.3.5 Possible Risks Due To Fire & Its Control The operation does not anticipate any fire disaster.

272 Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

7.3.6 Measures to Prevent Accidents Due to Tractors  All transportation within applied mining lease working should be carried out directly under the supervision and control of the management.  The vehicles will be maintained in good condition and checked thoroughly at least once a month by the competent person authorized for the purpose by the management.  Road signs will be provided at each and every turning point up to the main road (wherever required).  To avoid danger while reversing the equipment’s/ vehicles especially at the working place / loading points, stopper should be posted to properly guide reversing/ spotting operating, otherwise no person should be there within 10 km radius of machine.  A statutory provision of the fences, constant education, training etc. will go a long way in reducing the incidents of such accidents.

7.2.6 Other Possible Measures to Avoid Risks/ Disaster Due to River Bed Mining.  Unwanted material including mineral or spillage (if any) should not be stacked on the banks as it will hinder the flow of water in monsoon season.  Mining of minerals / working shall be started from the center from dip to rise and then laterally in 1 Meter slice so that the river course could not get affected.  Removal/collection of sand in a uniform way so that the river flow/ course shall not get disturbed.  River banks will not be excavated to from access ramps.  Only excavated river gravel should be used to deposit against the river bank to form access ramps.

CHAPTER-IX ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

9.1 INTRODUCTION The environmental impact assessment presented in previous chapter is based on the control measures. It is concluded that the mining activities having substantial, but reversible impact on environment and the suggestive measures should be taken so as to minimize the impacts.

Environmental management plan details the environmental quality control measures which are proposed for this project to achieve the production of 75,00,000 TPA of ordinary sand (Bajri) by complying with the stipulated standard limit specified by state pollution control board and CPCB.

Environment Management Plan, which is to be implemented in the project has detailed under the following heads:  River course environment  Air Environment  Water Environment  Noise Environment  Solid waste Management  Biological Environment including Plantation Development  Implementation of EMP and monitoring Programme

9.2 RIVER COURSE ENVIRONMENT Land degradation is one of the major adverse impact of opencast mining activities related to mining and any effort to control adverse impacts would be incomplete without appropriate land reclamation strategy.

Applicant - M/s Astin Excavation & Mining Pvt. Ltd River Bed Mining

279 Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

Deviation from planned mining procedure can lead to bank erosion/cutting and thereby river channel shifting degradation of land, causing loss of properties and degradation surrounding of landscape. Thus for environment friendly river bed mining the following control/abatement measures will be followed:

 Removal/collection of Sand (Bajri) will be done in central part of river and sufficient safety barrier say 10% of width will be left towards bank side. So that the river flow / course will not get disturbed.  Removal/collection of sand will be started from dip side towards rise at the center and also laterally in 3 meter slice so that the river course will not get affected. Unwanted material including mineral or spillage (if any) will not be stacked by the side of the excavation area. If need be done then it should be dozed afterwards in excavation voids created. This is to be done so, because it will otherwise hinder the flow of water in monsoon season.  Leaving safety barrier on both sides and maximum barrier should be on concave side of river preferably the flow channel (excavation void created) should be kept straight so as to help avoid erosion as side cutting.  In the first five years, removal/collection will be done, which will be replenishment with monsoon season.

9.3 AIR ENVIRONMENT In order to minimize impacts of mining on air and to maintain it within the prescribed limits of CPCB/SPCB, an Environment Management Plan (EMP) has been prepared. This will help in resolving all environmental and ecological issues likely to cause due to removal of sand in the area.

During the course of mining no toxic substances are released into the atmosphere as such there seems to be no potential threat to health of human beings.

Applicant - M/s Astin Excavation & Mining Pvt. Ltd River Bed Mining

280 Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

In river bed mining activities, the only source of gaseous emission is from the tractor trolley. The reasons may be quality of fuel, improper operation of the engine, etc. proper maintenance of engines will improve combustion process and brings reduction in pollution. The fugitive dust generation during mining and transportation requires some mitigation.

Measures to Prevent Generation & Dispersal of Dust Dust particles that are normally generated during mining operations when

become airborne lead to increase in PM10 level in the ambient air. Another source of dust generation is the transport of material by tractor trolley. Dust suppression by water spraying is adopted on the roads. Maintenance of transported vehicles and maintenance of kutchha road on regular basis. Regular water spraying on haulage roads during transportation of sand and waste by water sprinklers.  Plantation will be carried out on approach roads & nearby vicinity of river bank.  To control the emissions regular preventive maintenances of equipment’s will be done to adopt corrective actions wherever needed.  It is being ensured that all transportation vehicles will carry a valid PUC certificate.  Dust mask will be provided to the workers.

9.4 NOISE ENVIRONMENT The noise level monitoring carried out in the area has indicated that the present noise levels in mine site are generally within limits. The deployments of vehicles for transport and other auxiliary operations have increased the noise level but are naturally attenuated within applied lease area itself.

Applicant - M/s Astin Excavation & Mining Pvt. Ltd River Bed Mining

281 Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

9.4.1 Noise Abatement and Control  Proper maintenance of transportation vehicles will be carried out, which help in reducing generation of noise during operations.  No other equipment’s accept the transportation vehicles as tractor trolley is allowed.  Noise generated by these transportation vehicles is intermittent and does not cause much adverse impact.  Periodical monitoring of noise will be done to adopt corrective actions wherever needed.  Plantation will be taken up along the approach roads and on river bank. The plantation minimizes propagation of noise and also arrests dust.

General precaution for blasting will be taken up as following:- No drilling and blasting involved in this project.

9.5 WATER MANAGEMENT Removal/collection of sand in the area will be done well above the water table; therefore impact on water regime is not anticipated. The ground water level of lease area is 13.39-13.61mbgl from the surface level. The removal/collection of sand from river bed does not have any impact on natural drainage of surrounding area as no mining will be carried out, outside the lease area. Removal/collection of sand will be done up to a depth of 3m in the river bed, which will be replenished during monsoon season, more or less restoring to original position thus not affecting normal drainage in the river channel also.

9.5.2 Waste Water Management No waste water is generated due to proposed working as project only involves removal/ collection of sand from river bed in dry state.

Applicant - M/s Astin Excavation & Mining Pvt. Ltd River Bed Mining

282 Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

9.6 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT  No solid waste is generated from the said mining operations.  There is no toxic element present in the mineral which may contaminate the soil.

9.7 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT The mining activity will have insignificant effect on the existing flora and fauna in the core/buffer zone. Flora & fauna found in the buffer zone will not get affected because mining activities will be confined to core zone only by manual means.

The purpose of the project itself is to save the flora around the project area from river widening, excessive erosion and floods. It was found that the removal/ collection of sand will not have any significant impact on the flora and fauna of the region. The aquatic flora & fauna is also not likely to be affected as proposed mining blocks remains dry except the rainy season.

There is a requirement to establish a stable ecosystem with both ecological and economic returns. Minimization of soil erosion and dust pollution enhances the beauty of the core and the buffer zone. To achieve this it is planned to increase plantation activities. The basic objectives of Plantations are as follows:- • Improvement of Soil quality • Quick vegetative cover to check soil erosion • Improvement in river bank stability • Conservation of biological diversity • Provide forage and browse for wild life

283 Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

9.7.2 Plantation Development The main aim of plantation of mine area is to control dust/noise in the area, and to protect land from erosion and provide an aesthetic landscape. Keeping the up to the plan period in mine the stage wise plantation will be done.

Total 30 hectare are will be covered by the plantation. It will arrest environmental pollution, erosion and upgrade the scenic beauty of the area. Planting and sowing operations are followed up with adequate post plantation care, which includes replacement of casualties.

Protection of Plantation Sites The afforested areas have to be protected from cattle menace, human interference, soil erosion, plant diseases, etc. Check bunds, masonry chutes, protected drains, etc. will be constructed wherever required to control and regulate the water flow to prevent soil erosion and washing away of nutrients. Plants will be protected from diseases by the application of proper pesticides. Soil manuring etc. will be done whenever necessary. Plants will be protected from cattle menace and human interference by providing fencing and proper watch and ward.

284 Prepared by M/s Udaipur Min-Tech Pvt. Ltd.

9.7.3 Guidelines for Plantation Development In order to facilitate the proper growth of vegetation, limited measures involving preparation of seedbed with suitable amount of fertilizers and treatment with mulches will be taken.

Vegetation cover generally helps in:  Stabilizing erodible slopes to minimize pollution.  Control of dust.  Enhancement of aesthetic value.  Maximizing evpo-transpiration, which helps minimizing run off.  Reducing noise. For revagetation, the plants and saplings suitable for the existing soils and site condition may consider. It is recommended to plant fast growing local plant species, which can adapt to the local climate. This has to be done in consultation with local Government Horticulturist.

9.8 SOCIO – ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT 9.8.1 Management Plan for Socio-Economic Environment The environmental management plan has been developed with a view to bring down the levels of impacts as discussed in the last chapter within limits. In each of the areas of impact, measures have to be taken to reduce potentially significant adverse impacts and where these are beneficial in nature, such impacts are to be enhanced/augmented so that the overall adverse impacts are reduced to as low level as possible. For the socio economic development about 45 lacs will be spent up to operational phase.

There will be over all positive effect on social life on the local people, as they will get job opportunity, transport and medical facilities so the mining activities will benefit them directly or indirectly. 1. Ordinary sand production and employment opportunities. 2. Reduction in the migration of jobless laborers from native place to other distant places. 3. Interaction of local people with outsides, and improvement in communication, which will enhance their present status of knowledge and confidence.

Employment The mining operations will employ about total 199 persons. Preference will be given to the local population while inducting any manpower. The future mining activity would provide indirect employment to a large number of local population in activities like planting and watering of trees for green belt development.

Business Promotion While offloading the jobs to outside parties’ preference will be given to the local people.

9.9 OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY & HEALTH Safety of employee during mining operation and maintenance of mining equipment will be taken care as per MMR 1961 & MCDH 1988. To avoid any adverse effect on the health of workers due to dust, noise sufficient measures have been provided in the mining project. These include:  Provision of rest shelters for mine workers with amenities like drinking water, toilets etc.  Provision of personal protection devices to the workers.  Dust suppression on haul road.  First-aid box with all necessary facilities will be provided at the mining area.

The general environmental awareness is given to the local workers. Regular maintenance of vehicles will be carried out. Slogans of Environment, health & safety will be displayed in the local language.

The verbal interactions with neighboring villagers reveals that due to river bed mining no impact on water level is antibuted. Hence significantly no impact will be there due to mining activity. However, the mine is fresh area and no significant problems are reported by the villagers. The management must keenly celebrate the importance of World Environment Day to create awareness amongst the workers. Conservation of soil and water must be emphasized not only at works but also at their own place. With the proposal of Environment management plan and intention of continual improvement the mine may be accorded environmental clearance.
