It was surrendered to the state government of Bihar. The surrendered Notification was published in the notification of Bihar vide Gazette no-l l , dated 14th March 1984. (Copy enclosed as annexure -1). (2) On the basis ofthe aforesaid notification, Mis Sharda Mica Mining Co. was applied for Mining lease for the part of same area i.e Chatkari village only in thana No.-290 (Rajouli), District: Nawada, Bihar for the area of 842.00 acres or (340.752hactares) and Mining Lease was granted & executed on 5th March, 1986 for the period of 20 years (Copy of Mining Lease deed is enclosed as annexure-2). After grant of mining lease area, mining was consisted in block no-G/3 i.e. 40.00 acres (16.189 hectares) only, due to reach deposition ofmica. However, signing of pegmatite & mica schist is also observed in rest of the lease area i.e. 202.752hactares. The period of20 years of the mining lease was expired on 04/03/2006. Therefore, APPROVAL application was applied for the area of 501.00 acres or (202.752hactares) on 03/03/2005 to the state Government Bihar. The photo copy of Renewal application in Form- J & D is enclosed as annexure-3. And Renewal application is still pending to the State Government of Bihar. (3) Law & order was very poor in the area as well as no any demand in the market ofthe said minerals during the period of 1986 (or before) to 2003, therefore, mine was temporarily discontinued. Again mining operations was started during the year 2003 2004.The detail ofNon Mineralized & Mineralized area is given below: Details of Mineralized area and Non Mineralized area.

CHAPTER -3, (GEOLOGY AND EXPLORATION) PART-A

3. GEOLOGY AND EXPLORATION:

3.1.(a): Briefly describe the topography and general geology and local 1 mine geology of the mineral deposit including drainage pattern.

3.1. Topography:

3.2: REGIONAL GEOLOGY:

The Koderma district and the lokai-Indarwa area cover the southern part of Great Mica Belt of Jharkhand and Bihar. Previously the Mica belt was known as Bihar mica belt which extends for a distance of 160 km having an average width of 25 kms. The mica belt stretches from Gurpa in Gaya district in the west through Nawada, Koderrna, Hazaribag, Giridih in Jharkhand and Jamui as well as Bhagalpur district of the Bihar state in the east. Its maximum width is about 40 km at Koderma- Hazaribagh-Nawada area. The whole belt encompasses roughly 4,000 sq. km. around area and lies on the north fringe of Chotanagpur plateau and runs in an east-north east to west south west direction. The type of rock exposed in the region consists of a series of meta- sediments like Mica-schist, quartz-schist, Micaceous-quartz-schist, hornblende schist and para amphibolite. The group of gneissic rocks consists of granite-gnesis, biotite-gnesis of chhotanagpur granite gneissic complex which are younger to Meta sediments in age and are also occurring in association with the above rocks. The Mica schist is inter- beded with a bands of hornblende schist, talc schist, granulite and gnesis, Micaceous quartzite, several granitic bodies intruded all these rocks. The coarsed granite rocks are showing chilled contact effect with the adjoining gneisses rocks and show a faint foliation near the contact. On the other hand the granite & schist are traversed by the dykes, quartz veins and pegmatite & mica schist. The pegmatite & mica schist penetrates the schistose & gneissose rocks used as tools of Mica search on

8 surface. Mostly the Mica is occurring in the pegmatite & mica schist's. The majority of the pegmatite & mica schist originates through the digestion & re-crystallizations of mica schist. The pegmatite & mica schist generally consists of plagioclase feldspar, quartz but in few cases it also contains garnet, tourmaline, and beryl. In Mica belt the granitic rocks constitute about 33% of the total area; some are Dome shaped and lie in the surrounding area of the belt, whereas the metamorphic rocks is situated about 67% oftotal Mica belt.

General Geology :- Alluvium/soil.-Unconformity Dolerite Pegmatite & mica schist & quartz verns. Intrusive granite. Chotanagpur granite gneiss- Porphyroblastic granite gneiss. Complex:Granite gneiss. Migmatitic granite gneiss. Unclassified meta sedimentary: Amphibolites, harnblende schist Mica schist, quartz Mica schist Micacious quartz schist,quartzite

3.3: LOCAL GEOLOGY:

The entire area is covered with two litho logical units namely mica schist and pegmatite & mica schist. The occurrence of major part of the area is recorded as mica schist with the emplacement of mica at places. Mineralogical the mica schist is comprised of quartz biotite and muscovite with garnet and tourmaline at some places. Mica schists are altered much by heavy weathering and that has created problems to ascertain its behavior and trace its continuity in the surface. Pegmatite & mica schists are emplaced in the favorable locale such as schistosity plane, joints and hinge area of folds. In general the pegmatite & mica schists are comprised of medium to coarse grained quartz, feldspar (both plagioclase and potash), muscovite, biotite, tourmaline and garnet. The pegmatite & mica schist's which are associated with muscovite mineralization are designated as mica-bearing pegmatite & mica schist and the pegmatite & mica schist which are devoid of mica mineralization are designated as barren pegmatite & mica schist. Structurally it appears that some pegmatite & mica schist's are emplaced as pre-tectonic masses whereas the other type is found to be post-tectonic bodies. The major planar structure of the area is schist which is well defined by the preferred orientation ofplaty minerals. Geology of applied area follows the same trend of regional geology of the area. Stratigraphically the area belongs to M.H. Vaishnanarea and proved by exploitation of Pegmatite & mica schist's over the previous lease period & as per geological plan and section. The massive pegmatite & mica schist has already been opened in the hill towards north east portion i.e. block no.-G/3 . Mica schist is altered much by heavy weathering and that has created problems to ascertain its behavior and trace its continuity in the surface in peripheral part of the area but in this position, deposits ofmica debra is more chances in quantity in this situation. Presently two pits are working in the lease area i.e. pit no-I & pit no-2. Both the pits are situated in the slope of the hill. Pit no-I is south east and another is eastern side around the hill slope. The overall thickness of massive pegmatite & mica schist is exposed up to the hill top i.e. 24.00 m. General strike direction of massive pegmatite & mica schist is ISS-m NW-SE

Waste Material:

All the materials not conforming to the specifications ofrequired grade of mica and which are required to be handled for mining out the are, have been termed as waste material. The waste materials may be classified into the following forms: (i) Overburden, overlying the are body and the barren portion within the are body. (ii) Mica & Mica waste/ Dibra filled within the granite & schist are traversed by the dykes, quartz veins and pegmatite & mica schist and barren portion in between the are body. (iii) Stripping waste to be handled in the pit/bench slopes during excavations for maintaining the 3m high benches. Quantum of waste: Total quantum of the waste required to be handled in respect of the total proved reserved has been computed under two heads: (i) Soil cover or overburden (O.B) (ii) Inter-burden including within the granite & schist are traversed by the dykes, quartz veins and pegmatite & mica schist and barren portion in between the are body. The quantum of the total stripping waste depends upon the actual total extent of the quarries to be finally explored. Hence there is a scope of enhancement of the total waste material in future depending upon the extent ofexcavations.

3.6. Geological Reserved and Resource: (Computation of reserved by area of influence method);

The mineralization in pegmatite & mica schist varies widely and the available present day exploration techniques have not been able to predict the degree of mineralization, with any level of confidence. The pegmatite & mica schist under consideration has not been explored at all. Reserved estimated on any assumption will not be a representative one. Thus estimation of reserved & grade of mica cannot be possible to assess in the pegmatite & mica schist vein. However, in view of the massive pegmatite & mica schist is deposited in the hilloek & method of mining was carried out by opencast mining, it has estimated the reserved as per seen in quarry of the hillock. The pegmatite & miea schist vein has been considered for development has got surface exposure at 133m R.L. It is expected that the strike length will increase and a strike length of 155m has been considered up to depth of 24m & 109m RL. Some amount of pitting has been done on this pegmatite & mica schist. In absence of any exploration its strike length could not be ascertained but from the locations of the pits and from the behavior of the parallel pegmatite & mica schist in the depth of present working an average strike length of 155m it considered to be a reasonable assumption. (All the reduced levels mentioned in drawings and reports are based on the assumed reduced levels of 24m in depth for the proved of the leasehold. It has got no relation with the bench mark). The width as observed in both the pits and surface varies from 14m to 40m and for the purpose of planning an average width of27m has been considered. As per above stated in the geological reserved as per UNFC classification for mica mine cannot be possible to assess in the pegmatite & mica schist vein. However, Geological reserved are assessed in view of the past five year production achieved in the pegmatite & mica schist vein& schist as shown in the Yeses Plan. (Enclosed as Plate No-Z and accordingly Feasibility study Report has been prepared, which is enclosed as Annexure-7

3.6.1: RESERVED:

Geological reserved are assessed in view of the past five year production achieved in the pegmatite & mica schist vein & schist as shown in the Yeses Plan. (Enclosed as Plate No-Z). All the R.O.M (waste or dibhra) is manual dressing, sizing & sorting etc is done at the mine site and waste or dibhra mica is packed in gunny bags and transported to the beneficiation plant at Jhumri Telaiya, District - Koderma, By processing Mica waste/waste/r.o.m. waste or dibhra mica are processed & upgraded. A Chemical analysis of the produet is not required in mica. So upgraded mica or in form mica powder is sold to the consuming industries as per requirements ofmarket or dealers/exporters.

3.6.2: Recovery with cut-off grade & tonnage factor, method of assessment. a): Cut - off grade:

There is no cut- off grade because all the waste or dibhra mica raised from the pit shall be treated in the beneficiation plant & pulverising to make powder form. Further, the mica powder product is being sold on the basis of sample and not on the basis of any fixed analysis. 12 b): Recovery:

Based on the experience ofmining operation oflast few years, it is observed that recovery of Mica waste/waste/ r.o.m. waste or dibhra mica is -1.5% from the pegmatite & mica schist and schist zone whereas 98.5% is intercalated waste. c): Conversion factor of waste mica: Specific gravity- wastes mica: 1.5

3.7: Method of assessment:

The total lease area is 202.75ha out of that 16.187 hectare mineralization Zone area has been considered in the block no: G/3. This area is considerably explored and economic viability and feasibility study have been carried out based on previous mining or mined out area i.e. yeses plan. The economic axis, feasibility axis and geological axis have been categorized and based on this UNFC codification the reserved and a resource is made. There is no non- mineable part of the reserved in the lease area due to statutory barriers and U.P.L. The resources and reserved estimated is given below:-

Considering the above parameters, the different categories of geological reserved have estimated by cross sectional area method as follows.

GR= A x Lx RF x TF Where: GR= Geological Reserved (MT) A= Cross sectional Area (Sq.m) L= Length ofinfluence (m) RF= Recovery Factor (%) TF= Tonnage factor (MT/cum)

3.7.1: CLASSIFICATION OF RESERVED AS PER UNFC SVSTEM

(a) Proved Mineral Reserved (111):

Detailed geological survey has been carried out, exposures have been found, exploration by previous mining was carried out, two pits were opened which later on converted into 14 ill,\}' ,,,'nINliUr fJU:,,'.'1J !i'QP//-tNC !-':;;)//01.';4 rAUl.' II!"IO I iiiil!'!)?,: :\ \; i' i\ 1

quarries. The proved reserved has been estimated based on the actual thickness of the ore body as exposed in quarry faces. Thus, geological axis can be brought under OJ. The massive pegmatite & mica schist body considered under proved category has been estimated with full confidence and there is no statutory restriction. Infrastructure resources are already available. Thus, the reserved can be bronght under F J. On economic front, the end use, land use pattern, working plan is already known or designed, the ore ofthis area is commercial as to the demand of buyers, thus, and the reserved can be bronght under EI. Thus proved reserved can be classified under III groups.

The total lease area is 202.75ha ont of that 16.187 hectare mineralization Zone area has been considered in the block no: 0/3. This area is considerably explored and economic viability and feasibility study have been carried out based on previous mining or mined out area i.e. yeses plan. The economic axis, feasibility axis and geological axis have been categorized and based on this UNFC codification the reserved and a resource is made.

(b) Probable Mineral Reserved (122).

As the floor and side walls of the existing pits and trial pits are in ore zone, a further influence np to 109 m R L depth and 5m laterally has been considered. This lateral extension of the ore body is kept nnder probable category assuming that the ore body may continue further. Thus the geological axis can be brought under 02. On feasibility axis, there will be no displacement but the lease period has expired and area is under APPROVAL, mining operation is being carried out under deemed extension period. Thus, the reserved can be bronght under F2 On the economic front, based on previous extraction ofmica from pegmatite & mica schist vein in the area, the grade of waste or dibhra mica is assumed to be the same. Hence it can be gronped under E I. Thus probable reserved can be classified under 122 groups.

The total lease area is 202.75ha ont of that 16.187 hectare mineralization Zone area has been considered in the block no: 0/3. But rest area I87.563hectare has not been explored but pegmatite & mica schist vein is exposed in several places with in the lease area. Therefore, mica is not exhansted in the lease area. In view of that the mica is available in pegmatite & mica schists, which are exposed in several places. But presently grade & qnality of mica is un-known. The present market scenario this mica is not profit marketable so we keep it in E3. It also found that the quality of pegmatite & mica schist deposit is gradually low in depth wise. So we keep it 03 and F3 category. In this area there is only pegmatite & mica schist vein is exposed and it is failure of mineralization, thus inferred can be classified nnder 333 group has not been estimated.

PRODUCTION SCHEDULE

Due to good market condition, the proposed production target has been planned to the ton of 750tonnes/year (max). To meet this requirement, existing quarry no. I &2 have been considered for the planed period. The total recoverable waste or dibhra mica of the area is 153569.36 tones. So, taking the maximum production target of 750 tones per year, the life ofthe mine will be 205 years.

Intercalated waste:

The waste materials being generated from the working Quarry is mainly weathered soil and shiest etc. Besides that, there is a generation of intercalated waste which constitutes about 98.5% of the excavation in pegmatite & mica schist zone. These waste materials shall be dumped in the earmarked site which will later on utilized to reclaim the mined out area by backfilling & mine Road also

Because of the erratic distribution of mica in pegmatite & mica schist which can not be predicted by any exploration technique available as on date it is not possible to assess the reserved. In absence of the reserved estimate, the life of the mine cannot be determined. However, as per assessment of reserved as given in the para 3.6, Mine life has been estimated as: Production targeted - 615tonnes /annum. Reserved estimated as per UNFC: 153569tonnes Mine life: 153569/615= 250 years

The Conceptual dumping area is chosen within the block no G/3 ultimate pit limit on ground which may not cause any land or water pollution. a) Following OB dumps are available in the area

Presently there is 81258cum OB dumps within the block noG/3 or lease area b) Following OB dumps will be available at the end ofproposal period: During the proposal period 114586cum waste will be generated & dumped within the block no-3 and part of it's will be used for road construction and its maintenance c) Following OB dumps will be available at the end of conceptual period:

Present day exploration techniques have not been able to predict the degree of mineralization, with any level of confidence. The pegmatite & mica schist under consideration has not been explored at all. Dump estimated on any assumption will not be a representative one. Thus estimation of dumps cannot be possible to assess in the pegmatite & mica schist vein. However, in view of the massive pegmatite & mica schist is deposited in the hillock & method ofmining was carried out by opencast mining, however, all the generated waste will be used at the time ofstopping stage of the mine.

4.1.10: Disposal of Sub grade mineral:

No Sub grade mineral will be generated; all the ROM will be sold out.

Environmental monitoring:

Noise, air, water and other environmental parameters will be monitored periodically to have a close check on the environmental pollution. Spraying of water on haul roads, dust arrester on drills, prevention of vibration by utilization of minimum quantity of explosive per delay, massive plantation along road and other areas will be taken up to restrict the nuisance caused by mining activities. At the end of conceptual period the area will have water logged pits surrounded from all the sides by plantation, afforested dumps and minimum ofroads with avenue plantation to reach the sites. As reflected in the table -10: Table -10: (Afforestation plan upto conceptual period)

CHAPTER -8 (USE OF MINERAL)

8.0 USE OF MINERAL & MINERAL BENEFICIATION:

Mica is mainly used as an insulating material in electrical goods and as a substitute for glass. It is impervious to heat and hence used in the peep-holes of furnaces, tanks and fighting planes. It serves as an insulating medium in high power motors in air-craft. It is also used in the radio industry and in radar.

Large and clear sheets of muscovite are used in stoves, windows, lamps and marine compass. Mica waste and waste of mica in form of mica powder are used in paints, lubricants, wall-paper, rubber and fire-resisting waif boards. Mica is also used in medicines. Mica splitting is used for manufacture of mica tape and cloth.

Presently substitutes of mica are more used in the world in place of Natural mica. Substitutes of mica are very cheap in place of natural mica due to that presently; natural Mica in form ofpowdered is used in the pent and its demands.

open jungle and one mixed jungle. The average elevation of the area is 320m above mean sea level. Open jungles and mixed jungle are having mainly sal trees whereas mixed jungles are having besides sal, other trees like Bamboo, Karanji etc. Though the concemed forest officials could not fumish the actual forest density of the area, but from mere observations crown density appears to be around 0.4 with mostly class II! to class IV categories trees. In the applied area towards NE boundary is having semi structures for office, residence. Area of about 9000 sq.m. has been cleared of trees for the erection of above structures. ii) Water Regime: The area represents a rugged topography with a number of hillocks and has the radial drainage and water flow direction is in all direction but major sloping towards southwestem direction which joins in main sources during rainy session. There is no natural source of water in the applied area. However, the water resource is available in the form of hand pump dependency of people in core zone; there are two hand pumps near the mine site. Applied area general Ground water table: - 40M from the top of the hill in block G/3. (post monsoon) & 45m BGL (summer) BGL: 35M. The proposal are given quite above to GWT.

III) FLORA AND FAUNA

FLORA : Mostly sal trees occur in the area. The area is categorized as mixed jungle. Besides sal trees other trees like Sakhua, Karanji occur abundantly in the area. Towards the northern part of the area Bamboo forest is observed. Babul trees in plenty are noticed towards west. Another important and costly tree i.e. Khair is also observed at some places in limited numbers. FAUNA: The area contains both camivorous and herbivorous animals. Domestic animals viz, Cow, Govt. etc. are seen grazing in the area. Amongst wild animals bear, deer and wolf are very common. Leopards are also reported on rare occasions in the forest. There is no wild life sanctuary or national park in the area.

CLIMATE CONDITIONS:

The area has a Salubrious climate which in general, can broadly be divided in to following three district seasons: November to February Winter March to June Summer July to September Rain October to remains the transition period. Summer is very severe, maximum temperature is attained in late May and early June. In summer the maximum temperature rises to 35 to 40C. In winter the weather remains dry. Nights are coldest during late December and early January with a temperature around 30to 35C or so. Most of the precipitation occurs during the rainy season from south-west monsoon. Pre monsoon shower occurs in June, December, February and March also experience rainfalls. The rainfall data is enclosed in Annexure-I 6

HUMAN SETTLEMENTS:

Being located in the Reserved forest, there is no human settlement over there. There are a few semi permanent and temporary hutments in area of Sharda Mica Mine in the block of 0/3. Staff and security guards are living in the temporary hutments and also used as office in the block of 0/3. The nearest habitant in Chatkari village where people regularly live is locate about 1.0 kms away from the area. Sharda Mica Mine of Mis. Sharda mica Mining Company is situated in the village Chatkari , Dist -Nawada, State- Bihar. But District head quarter Nawada is not directly approachable. The lease area is approachable from the Jhumri Telaiya.(NH-31) to Niru Pahari towards East (about 14 Km) and Niru Pahari to Chatkari village towards North up to 20 KM through tar road. Human settlements are generally controlled by the chatkari village and river valleys. Cultivation and firewood selling are the main livelihood of the local villagers. Then total population ofchatkari village is 3112 out of which 1500 are male and rest 1612 are female. About 50% of the total population belonging to Bhuiyan, Rajbarand Turiya caste falls under schedule caste category and 30 belonging to Munda community come under scheduled tribe category. All these 30 persons are employed in local mines. Only twelve scheduled caste persons are engaged in agriculture. Nearly 10% of total male populations are literate. Amongst the female population only 4 are literate. A primary health centre in the village is functioning regularly to look after the primary medical needs of the people in the nearby areas.

VII) PUBLIC BUILDING, PLACES OF WORSHIP AND MONUMENT: There are no public buildings, monuments, places of worships and any establishment of tourist interest in the area applied for mining lease. However, in the nearby Chatkari village there is one temple.

11(b) ATTACH AN ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESMENT STATEMENT DESCRIBING THE IMPACT OF MINING AND BENEFICIATION ON ENVIRONMENT ON THE FOLLOWING OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS (AND UPTO CONCEPTUAL PLAN PERIOD FOR 'A' CATEGORY MINES) i) LAND AREA INDICATING THE AREA LIKELY TO BE DEGRADED DUE TOQUARRYING /PITTNG, DUMPING, ROAD, WORKSHOP, PROCESSING PLAN, TOWNSHIP ETC.

I) LANDSCAPE AND LAND SUBSIDENCE

The area represents a rugged topography with a number of hillocks and very small nullahs in a repetitive manner. The highest hillocks are situated towards NE of the lease area. The maximum and minimum heights attained by the area are 323m and 220m from the M.S.L. respectively. No exploratory work from surface is contemplated to be carried out. Presently mining will be carried out in the massive pegmatite & mica schist vein deposited in the hill portion through opencast mining, after finished of massive pegmatite & mica schist vein deposited in the hill portion than mining working will be converted in to underground mining along with massive pegmatite & mica schist vein in future. When the levels will be formed extension holes will be put across the pegmatite & mica schist in both footwall and hanging wall on each level to prove the existence of any parallel pegmatite & mica schist. After sorting out mica within the quarry, the generated waste will consist of mica schist. This will be disposed of at surface. This waste as it is does not support any plant growth. The maximum quantity of waste which will be generated during first five years will be 139800 nr', The average height will be available for dump up to 2 15m. Thus the spread will be about 27087m . All the generated waste will be used at the time stopping stage of the mine. No development is expected from the mine and the waste generated out of stopping will be packed in the stops in future. However, the landscape over 15% of total area will be altered due to surface structure like office buildings, head frame etc. and by dumping of waste. To minimize the impairment to the vision it is proposed to plant the trees of the local species all around the waste dump and the surface structures. Besides, it will be tried to plant Bouganvilla creeper in the office and residential areas for beautification. The resident of officials and office of Sharda mica mine has already been setup near the mine. These are located at a safe distance away from the mine, thus eliminating dust and noise.

V) FOREST:

The area is located in the Reserved forest. Some amount of deforestation shall have to be carried out to accommodate surface structures like head frame, office buildings, quarry area etc. however, the total excavated Idegraded land during past & present mining operations 16.188 ha is covered within entire lease area i.e. block No. 0/3 including certain areas where waste dumping will be built up may damage vegetation and all the mining activities will be carried out in 0/3 block only.

VI) Agriculture:

There is no any agricultural land in the lease area.

VII) PUBLIC BUILDINGS, PLACES AND MONUMENTS INCLUDING ARCHAELOGICAL SITES.

\i). There are no public building, places and monuments including archaeological sites in and around 500 m. radius ofthe applied lease area.

Mining activity is planned to be carried out in small scale and there will be no major impact on atmospheric air. However, certain amount of air pollution, though insignificant will take place by the following two ways:-

A. FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO AIR POLLUTION

1. Dust 2. Fumes of blasting and Exhaust (Noxious Gases) of machinery 41 iljAV SlJrJNj{j;{( 1?l:'D,iW, i?\)P/UNC/ffi9/::'Uf. /'1 (to (lP/(! \lli\JINC: I ,:!tH;\

As earlier said mining activity dust generation will be due to movements of trucks and by mining activity, may pollute the air to some extent but spraying of water on road and faces before blasting and loading will control its generation. B. Sources of their generation like, 1. Dust: Traffic & Transport Drilling, blasting Loading, Waste dumps This will be contained within permissible limit by spraying water on road and providing avenue plantation. Like adopting wet drilling, using sharp bits and dust collectors providing dust mark to operators, water infusion of benches before and after blasting adopting adequate blasting and drilling parameters and using proper explosive, spraying water on muck pile during loading, water spraying and use of bag filters in screening and plantation will further reduce the propagation 0 f airbome dust.

iii) WATER QUALITY:

In the applied area there is no water stream course or springs .The mining will be done on the hill so it will not affect the ground water quality. Even the conceptual pit limit is not reaching below the GWT hence ground water quantity Iquality will not be adversely affected.

iv) NOISE LEVEL

It will be created by movement of truck! dumper drilling & blasting etc. However noise generated by these will be occurring at very low level as it being small nature ofworking. v) VIBRATION LEVEL (DUE TO BLASTING) Proposed mining operations will be done in small scale and Blasting is proposed which will be used on the hill. So it will affect the of ground vibration in transient nature. Provision ofdelays in firing sequence will also minimize the noise pollution.

vi) WATER REGIME IMPACT OF MINING ON WATER ENVIRONMENT ON FOLLOWING HEADS:

I) SURFACE WATER: The extent of mining excavation is too small to have any significant effect on the water regime. However, during rains, some amount of waste from dump will run down the nearby nullahs causing silting over there. But considering the total silt load in nullah water in rains, the additions will be insignificant. It dumps and growing vegetation over the dump surface.

I) GROUND WATER:

Use of water for mining purpose will be around 2KL for workers which will be managed by hand pump near the mine site. (The photo copy of the water analysis report is enclosed as annexure -10.) 42 HA.I~P!\ Hie \ .\Ht\T (LI:/\:~L Lt::;;:Li

III) WATER QUALITY:

From present status to conceptual period the proposal are given on the relatively at higher level which is quite above to GWT and the collected water during rainy or post monsoon season will be negligible. If any mines water discharge or dump wash will further pass to the settling tank for settling down the heavy suspended particles then lastly it will drained to the nearby area. vii) SOCIO-ECONOMICS

The impact on socio economics has already been a positive one because of the generation ofseveral hundred unskilled/ semi-skilled jobs for which the local villagers are well suited. Additionally, villages) in the core zone have much better support facilities than those in the buffer zone. Similarly, educational levels are much higher in the core zone. As no agricultural land has been affected by mining & allied operations, there has been no adverse impact on agricultural activity. As part of it SOCIa economic concern activity, the management is helping out neighboring villages in respect to their day to day problems through installing hand pumps, constructing! repairing approach roads and school buildings and helping in health care & family welfare activites. i), SOCIAL AND DEMOGRAPHIC

The lease area is under forest area, therefore, no any parental human population are living within the applied area. But near the mine , only one village is situated i.e. Chatkari village. This village has the mixed population of adivasis, Harijans & Others. The demographic profile for this region shows on an average the population having cultivation -40% Agriculture Labour 30% Under Industrial employment. nil Marginal workers 10% Unemployed 20% About 85% of the cultivating land is poorly fertile and 40% of which cannot be used for regular cultivation. 20 % workers employed at this mine are all local villagers. Though the strength of workers employed at the mine is very low, but they will have a regular source of earning. Thus the mine has given a beneficial impact of improving upon the socio economic conditions ofthe villagers.

II) OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY

This being an opencast mine the workers are exposed to the vagaries of weather. During summer there is likelihood of sunstroke and during winter there is effect of cold. Injuries to workers by slipping are sometimes reported, First-Aid facilities are available immediately at the mine. III) HUMAN SETTLEMENT There is no human settlement within the area but there are three villages within core zone with a total population comprise Adivasis (about 26% harizans, about 18%) and other class 43

/[Ji\ V SU/jiVJ(U: JlA\:t!Ji\ iVliCj\ [;\IN{,

of people. The demographic data of the population for the core zone are given in Table. The villagers have cultivation as basic source of livelihood. But services mostly as workers in mines, road building and other related activities provide substantial contribution to their economy. About 19% average of the total population is literate. Primary education facility is available in Chatkari villages. There is one middle school in the core zone at Chatkari. There is one Primary Health Centers at Chatkari. Demographic Profile:

Name of population Literacy Cultivation Agriculture Marginal Un- the (%) (%) Labour (%) workers. Employed Village I 2 3 4 5 7 8 Chatkari 1444 26 52 22 16 10 Baratanr 576 17 36 47 26 07 Simratari 43 13 28 59 16 15

IV) RECREATIONAL FACILITIES.

There will be no adverse impact of mining but up to some extent socio-economic environment of the area will improve as, the mining activity has already given the job to local people and will assure the job security of already engaged workers and it may create further new job opportunities for the local people. Further applicant will provide the occupational health and safety by providing regular medical checkup and medicine distribution. Further applicant will provide the recreational facility at the local people permissible demand. Proposed mining operations may improve the financial status of the local people. viii) HISTORICAL MONUMENTS ETC There are no historical monuments in and around SOO m. radius ofthe lease area.

II.C ATTACH AN ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN (SUPPORTED BY APPROPRIATEE PLANS AND SECTION) DEFINING THE TIME BOUND ACTION PROPOSED TO BE TAKEN WITH SEQUENCE AND TIMING IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN ENCLOSED PLATE NO.IX. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN: 1. TEMPORARY STORAGE AND UTILISATION OF TOP SOIL In general there is no any quantity of top soil will be generated only occasional cover is there which is negligible in quantum hence no stacking is required of top soil. However, about 80968 M3 will be generated ensuing period, it will be used for plantation only.

2.YEAR WISE PROPOSAL FOR RECLAMATION / REHABILITATION OF LAND AFFECTED BY ABANDONED QUARRIES AND OTHER MINING ACTIVITIES DURING FIRST FIVE YEARS (AND UPTO CONCEPTUAL PLAN PERIOD FOR 'A' CATEGORY MINES) CLARIFYING THE EXTENT OF BACK FILLING AND RECONTOURING AND/OR ALTERNATIVE USE OF

RECLAMATION AND REHABILITATION STATUS: a)Present reclamation and rehabilitation is nil. b) Area under reclamation and rehabilitation by the end ofproposal period is nil c) No backfilling will be available at the end oflease period. Presently, massive pegmatite & mica schist vein has already been seen in the hill and working is carried out through open cast mining and same pegmatite & mica schist vein will be worked in future also till the continuity of the pegmatite & mica schist to some extent by underground development also. All the generated waste materials will be kept safely & utilized at the time of stopping stage ofthe mine.

3. PROGRAMME OF AFFORESTATlON

Progressive (Afforestation): This is a APPROVAL case for ML, in ensuing years 1.0ha area will be afforested in green belt by 1250 plantations.

4. STABILISATION AND VEGETATION OF DUMPS Certain amount ofdeforestation will take place for construction of surface structure and for old dumping of waste. Care has been taken to dump the waste on areas having shrubs and Construction of Parapet wall. Compensatory a forestation programme will be undertaken near Sharda mica mine. A forestation also will be taken up all around the waste dumps as given above.

5. MEASURES TO CONTROL EROSION/SEDIMENTATION OF WATER COURSES.

The mining operations will not have any adverse effect on ground water and surface water in the core/buffer zone, because during the next five years and conceptual period mining

will be carried out above the ground water level. Although one settling tank has been proposed which will take of any sedimentation before discharging to main nallah course.

6. TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL OF WATER FROM MINE

Rain water will not be accumulated in the working pit because proposals ofmining will be carried out on the hill. If any circumstances rain water will be accumulated around the working pit than rain water will be pumped out to the surrounding through settling tank to the nallah.

7. MEASURES FOR MINIMISING ADVERSE EFFECTS ON WATER REGIME

No adverse effect on water regime is expected as mining will be on small scale and there is no water body in the surrounding.

8. PROTECTIVE MEASURES FOR GROUND VIBRATIONS/ AIR BLAST CAUSED BY BLASTING

Blasting proposal as given on para 5 will be strictly followed with all precautionary measures. Due to blasting ground vibration will generate which will be transient in nature as proposed mining is of small scale therefore this vibration will not have much impact. The protective measures will be taken by informing during blasting. The dust generated by occasional movement of blasting, trucks and by other mining activity, may pollute the air to some extent but it will be controlled by spraying of water, whenever necessary.

9. MEASURES FOR PROTECTING HISTORICAL MONUMENTS AND FOR REHABILITATION OF HUMAN SETTLEMENT LIKELY TO BE DISTURB DUE TO MINING ACTIVITY

There is no human settlement or historical monument in 500 m. radius of the area, therefore proposed mining will not disturb the human settlement or historical monuments.

10. SOCIO-ECONOMIC BENEFITS ARISING OUT OF MINING.

There will be positive effect to some extent on socio-economic environment of the area as mining activity will assure job continuity of already engaged people also it may cause further job opportunities for additional people, which ultimately will improve the financial status ofthe local people. *****

As per present knowledge of the deposit presently mmmg will be carried out in the massive pegmatite & mica schist vein deposited in the hill portion through opencast mining, after finished of massive pegmatite & mica schist vein deposited in the hill portion than mining working will be converted in to underground mining along with massive pegmatite & mica schist vein. When the bench levels will be formed extension holes will be put across the pegmatite & mica schist in both footwall and hanging wall on each level to prove the existence of any parallel pegmatite & mica schist. Therefore, no opencast method of mining was adopted in past. Presently all the mining is carried out in the massive pegmatite & mica schist vein deposited in the hill portion through opencast mining. Keeping in view of the present knowledge of the area there will be no mined land at the end of ensuing five year proposal.

14.04.2 WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT:

There will be no contamination of the water body as the water body is away from the proposed area for working. The area represents a rugged topography with a number of hillocks and has the radial drainage and water flow direction is in all direction but major sloping towards southwestern direction which joins in main sources during rainy session. There is no natural source of water in the applied area. There will be no any problem of water drainage during rainy session.

Water Environment Management:

No arrangement is required to take care of ground water because the ground water level is below the conceptual pit depth proposed as per the present knowledge of deposit. After the completion of mining operations in this area the surface water is likely to be contaminated due to wash off from the waste dumps however these dumps will be stabilized and secured by shrubs and Construction of Parapet wall and also against dust being air borne by adequate plantation before the conceptual period is over. During present PMCP period area of Mining operation will not pose any problem to general water table of area. In this area no acid mine drainage could be seen so no proposal is proposed for this purpose. The water sample is taken from tube well, which is situated nearby mine office and it is potable. The photo copy ofthe water analysis report is enclosed as annexure -10.

14.04.2.1 AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT: -

Once the mining operation in this area is over the ambient air can only be polluted by dust raised from the movement oftrucks and blasting. As stated dust generating parameters will be controlled by water sprinkling and adequate plantation before the conceptual period is over.

14.04.3 WASTE MANAGEMENT

14.04.4 TOP SOIL MANGEMENT:

Please referin para 7(a) ofchapter-VII of Mining Plan

14.04.5 TAILING DAM MANAGEMENT:

There is no tailing generation during the mining operation hence tailing dam management is not required.

14.04.6 INFRASTRUCTURE

The lessee has constructed the pit office cum attendance room and first aid center, work shop as per the site selection in the leas area towards eastern side of Blogk-G/3. A rest shelter is provided near working quarry. Provision of potable water has already been made from tube well which, in generally is used by the officials & other publics also. At the final closure stage the infrastructure shall be handed over to the local authority after negotiation. In case of failure, which has very remote chances, the infrastructure shall be dismantled.

(i) Any decommissioning proposal: No

14.04.7 DISPOSAL OF MINING MACHINERY

The mine is presently in operation and no closure is apprehended in near future. Hence there is no proposal for disposal of mining machinery at the present. However, whenever the mine operations are permanently closed, than it is no requirement of decommissioning of the mining machineries, as the mining machineries are movable and will be used in the next mining plan & other use also.

14.04.8 SAFETY AND SECURITY

The mining lease area is free from habitation and villages are situated at a very considerable distance from the mining lease area. In order to prevent entry of outsiders into the mining lease area, solid masonry wall will be provided at entrance. Top of opencast working will be provided with facing. All entries to mining area are restricted to people working in the mine. Signboards have been displayed at various entry points to check the entry of unauthorized persons into mining area. During mining operations & blasting all safety precautions are strictly carried out as per statutory provision provided under MMR, 1961 and allied circulars and MCDR, 1988 under the guidance of statutorily qualified persons such as Mining Engineer, Mines Manager, Mines Foreman, and Blaster etc. Security is also provided round the clock to check any inadvertent entry of unauthorized person into the mining area. The facility provided shall continue person into the mining area. The facility provided shall continue to be available during progressive mine closure stage.

14.04.9 DISASTER MANAGEMENT: -

However, the working is being carried out at shallow high on the small hill therefore; no risk assessment or disaster management is required. High risk factors such as landslide, subsidence flood, fire, tailing dam failure etc are not encountered nor anticipated during proposed plan period. As such, emergency plan for quick evacuation, protective measures are not proposed. Also, no local habitant exists as the working area is far away from the locality.

14.04.10 CARE AND MAINTENANCE DURING TEMPORARY DISCONTINUANCE

When the mine is temporarily discontinued due to any unforeseen circumstances the following care and maintenance shall be carried out: • Notice to be served to all the concerned authority. • Temporary fencing shall cover the mining pit area. • All access roads/openings to the pit / face shall be closed by parapet wall as per rule. • Warming shall be displayed on the 'Notice Board' at appropriate places. • Security personnel shall be posted at every danger point. • No unauthorized person shall be allowed to enter into the mine without prior permission of the management. • Mine benches shall be dressed and properly sloped for its stability. • Garland drain shall be made all around the mine and dumps to prevent water flow towards mine for prevention of landslide/side fall and siltation etc. • All men and machinery shall be withdrawn from the mine and shall be kept in a compound and safe place. • All safety precautions shall be taken care ofas per rule.

14.5 ECONOMIC REPERCUSSION OF CLOSURE OF MINE AND MANPOWER RETRENCHMENTS

Local population has been engaged in workers category. The manpower provided for carrying out mining activity shall continue to be employed during this progressive mine closure stage. At this stage there will be no manpower retrenchment etc. in the area, hence, no proposal for these have been discussed.

14.5.1 Number of local residents employed in the mine, status of the continuation family occupation and scope of joining the occupation:

The number of local resident are propose to employ will be around 15-20 from the near by areas and these local people have already their own traditional and family occupations like agriculture, sun dry jobs and having their huts and in future when mine totally closed down due to exhaustion of reserved or other reason, they can easily join to their respective employments.

14.5.2 Compensating given or to be given to the employees connecting with sustenance of himself and their family members:

For employees the retrenchment compensations to the workers, as and when required will be done as per the Central Labor Legislations applicable to Metalliferrous Mines Regulation.

14.5.3 Satellite occupation connected to the mmmg industry-number of person engaged therein -continuance of such business after mine close:

Presently, there is no proposal for mine closing of mining operation during the plan period or up to lease period. Presently, mining operation is limited within the one block i.e.G/3 only and rest blocks are not touched as mentioned in the para no- 2.0 ofthe mining plan, so it will be also operation in the vicinity of the area. The workers mostly woks in seasonal agriculture and hence satellite occupations connected to the mining industry are not considered. Hence, after the mines closes there will not be any adverse effect. Therefore, question ofaffecting satellite occupation does not arise.

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

This is very little chance of Mining Lease area getting rehabilitated as the land IS Government ofBIHAR Forest land.

14.5.5 Envisaged repercussions on the expectation of the society around due to closure of mine:

Continuance of mining activity in the area has resulted into overall improvement of society due to direct / indirect job opportunities, improved communication, education, medical facilities, transport, drinking water, road networking. This is likely to continue during future progressive mine closure plan also. During final closure plan expectation of society shall be taken care of on mutual basis.

14.6.0 TIME SCHEDULING FOR PROGRESSIVE RECLAMATION AND REHABLITATION

The details of time schedule of all abandonment operations as lease in Para 4 should be described here. The manpower and other resources required for completion of lease job should be described. The schedule 0 such operation should also supplement by PERT (Programme Evaluation and Review Technique) Bar chart etc.: Time schedule of all abandonment operations as proposed is given below in self explanatory in bar chart,

Monitoring of air ------> & water Disposal of Mining machineries are movable and will be used in the next mining plan or mining m / c. other mine.

14.07 : Abandonment Cost:

Cost to be estimated based on the activities required for implementing the protective and rehabilitation measures including their maintenance and monitoring programme:- The lessee has applied for APPROVAL of mining lease and mining operation will be continued till the mine life and presently, massive pegmatite & mica schist vein has already been seen in the hill and working is carried out through open cast mining on the hill and same pegmatite & mica schist vein will be worked in future also till the continuity of the pegmatite & mica schist to some extent by underground development also. Therefore at this stage it is not possible reclamation and rehabilitation by the end of lease period as well as assesses the abandonment cost. However for first five year the abandonment cost for implementation the protective and measures including their maintenance and monitoring programmed will be about Rs.1545001-per year, which is discussed as below:

ABANDONMENT COST:

There is no possibility of closure of mine during this plan period. However, tentative cost of each ofimportant activity of abandonment e.g., decommissioning, plantation around the dumps & settling tank, etc. have been indicated to have the idea about the funds that may be required for the final closure.

(1) Decommissioning / Demolition: Not applicable (2) Removal of infrastrnctnre: Not applicable (3) Removal of eqnipments and heavy machineries: Not applicable during this scheme period.

Site Safety:

Barbet Fencing will be done around the around the working zone area. Therefore, an amount ofRs. 20,000.00 1- will be required for the purpose.
