In pursuance MOEF&CC Notification S.O. 141(E) dated L5th Jan 20L6,District Environment lmpact Assessment Authority (DEIAA) & District level Expert Appraisal Committee (DEAC) has been forined for Category -82 Minor Minerals having area less than or equal to 5 ha. ln line with above guideline Chief Secretary of Government of Jharkhand issued a letter to all Deputy Commissioner's Vide letter No. -1874/Cs dated 0L-08-20L7 & Notification No. Khani(vivid) -67/20L7/L905 dated L6-08-20L7 by Secretary, Department of Industries, Mines & Geology, Government of Jharkhand, to prepare a District Survey Report for all minor minerals as per guideline of sustainable Sand Mining guidelines with the assistance of lrrigation department (Minor), Forest department , Mining & Geology Departments. The District Survey Report (DSR) for sand had already been prepared and submitted to the Government. Considering the extent of deposit of stone in Pakur, it is very difficult to prepare DSR in a very short while with the available resources. The effort made by the DEIAA committee and with the constant support from Forest Department Pakur, Mining Office Pakur, Executive Engineers from road and Minor lrrigation to prepare this DSR in short while is commendable. This is an interim report prepared to meet the requirement of minor minerals for the state and same shall be updated with a time.

It is clear from the report that most of the existing operative mines are having a lease period upto the year 2O2O and the livelihood of Pakur district is depend on mining and its related industries. Hence, it is recommended to initiate the process of auctioning in accordance with the existing rules/laws to meet the requirement of stone for the state and earn the revenue and support the livelihood of Pakur, even after the year 2020.

I wish that DEIAA will make allthe efforts to complete the DSR in all respect in near future.

With Warm Regards

Dy. Commissioner cum Chairman DEIAA, Pakur PAKUR, District of Black Stone

6. GENERAL PROFILE OF THE DISTRICT

6.1 River System

PAKUR, District of Black Stone

Pakur is surrounded by three main rivers namely Bansloi, Torai & Brahmini. Bansloi and Torai rivers flows in the middle while Brahmini flows in the southern part of the district. The river Ganges passes at a little distance away, along the north eastern boundary of the district. The other rivers of the district are Gumani, Torai, Bansloi and Brahmni. All the rivers flow from west to east direction except river Gumani which flows from SW to NE direction. The drainage pattern of the district is dendritic. All the rivers are tributaries of river Ganga and are seasonal in nature.

6.2 Climate The district is characterized by humid to sub-humid climate. During summer the hot spell prevails from March to middle of June. Rainy season started from middle of June to end to September. Winter starts from the middle of November and continues till the end of February. The district experiences great heat from March to May, when the maximum temperature reaches up to 400C. December is the coldest month when the minimum temperatures fall down up to 40C 6.3 Geomorphology Major part of the district is characterized by undulating topography covered by basaltic flows of Rajmahal Trap. The district is mainly drained by the river Bansloi, Brahmani, Torai and Gumani. All these rivers are seasonal in nature. Major drainages of the district appear to have a west to easterly flow direction. The main geomorphological features of the district are the rolling peneplain in the south with numerals remnants of ancient ridges and resistant lava plateau of Rajmahal. These plateaus rise above the general level and occupy major part of the district. The general elevation of the hills and plateau varies from 70 to 371 m above MSL. 6.4 Soil The major soil type of the district is the Rajmahal type soil which is derived from basaltic lava. These soils black in colour are very fertile and restricted to Rajmahal lava areas. The other soil type of the district are Red soil, eroded scarp soil, foothill soils, Tal soil and alluvial soil. The red soils are light to medium and are red to yellow or light grey in colour. The eroded scarp soil occurs in transverse section of dissected, descending scarp land at various altitude of upland. The yellowish red foothill soils occur in the eastern fringe of the district. The al soil is found in the back water belt of the Ganga araund Pakur when the rain water remains collected in the rainy season. The major part of the district being rocky, it is difficult to dig wells. Where there exists facility for irrigation during Rabi season from the ponds, Wheat is the major crop growing in that area. 6.5 Irrigation

Undulating topographic features characterize the district. The agricultural activity of the district is solely dependent upon the monsoon rainfall and the Kharif crops mainly paddy and maize are grown extensively. Irrigational facilities are not adequate in the district. Dug well is the most

PAKUR, District of Black Stone

common source of irrigation, but this is not very dependable source. The major part of the district being rocky, it is difficult to dig wells. Where there exists facility for irrigation during Rabi season from the ponds, wheat is the major crop grown in that area.

6.6 Physiography The district contains three distinct tracts viz. portion of Domini Koh, Pargana Ambar and Pargana Sultanabad. Damini Koh in the north western corner is hilly tract and covers 31 percent area of the district. Pargana Ambar and Paragana Sultanabad are rice plains. Geologically the area has basaltic trap and sedimentary beds. Quartz and gneisses are found in some places. The principal rivers flowing are Bansloi, Brahamani, Pagla, Torai and Gimani.

6.7 Demography In the absence of major industries and employment opportunities, the economic options are limited to agriculture. Stone chips, rice milling, biri rolling, manufacturing of gur from sugarcane and date (Khajur), forest produce such as Mahua, Sabai grass, tasser, and bamboo are the sources of generating income for a significant proportion of the people of the district. Barbatti (vegetable) is also good source of income for the Paharia tribe. Poultry farming, piggery, animal husbandry and fisheries also provide supplementary income.

8. Ground Water Scenario

8.1 Hydrogeology

Rajmahal Trap is the major rock type in the district. The other geological formation of the district are alluvium, Laterite and Gondwana. In the eastern part of the district, recent alluvium occurs in patches, which is mainly composed of sand and sub ordinate clay. Laterites are mainly of in situ origin and have been formed by sub-aerial erosion of underlying basalts under favourable climatic conditions. Laterites provide a productive ground water reservoir due to very good porous and permeable nature. The most significant Barakar coal measures of Gondwana formation occurs in western part of the district. Rajmahal traps having a large thickness of basaltic lava flows occur in the major part of the district. The different units of the lava flows are the main water bearing horizons in basaltic formation. The basic properties such as the ability to receive recharge, holding capacity of water to take into storage and transmit it as ground water by gravity are different for different litho units of the trappean flows. The massive basaltic unit is hard and compact in nature with negligible primary porosity and permeability. But the process of weathering and structural deformations, development of secondary porosity such as joints and fractures make it to act as good ground water reservoir. The vesicular units have abundant vesicles that contribute to high degree of porosity and permeability to serve as potential aquifers. The ground water occurs under water table conditions in near surface weathered, jointed and fractured basaltic zone. The water bearing zone occurring between depths of 15-40 m are either interflow weathered shear zones or directly connected to shallow aquifer in widely spaced major joints and fractures. These forms semi confined aquifer. Below the depth of 40 m, where the fracture porosity is insignificant, the weathered flow contacts are completely cut-off from lower aquifer on account of intervening high impermeable massive basalts and intertrappean beds give rise to confining conditions. The hydro-geological map is shown in Figure -3.

Exploratory wells: To understand the sub surface geology, identify the various water bearing horizons including their depth, thickness, etc. and for computing the hydraulic characteristics such as Transmissivity and Storability of the aquifers, exploratory drilling programme was carried out under AAP 1982 – 83. There are 05 exploratory wells and 04 observation wells were drilled in the district. The depth of exploratory wells ranges between 80.0 to 200.00 mbgl. The static water level of these exploratory wells varies from 1.55 to 11.36 mbgl. The Transmissivity value varies from 2.00 to 86.29 m2/ day, while the Storability values varying from 01.30 X 10-5 to 06.6 X 10-4.

8.2 Depth to Water Level: -

There are 7 numbers of permanent observation well. National Hydrograph stations (NHS) of Central Ground Water Board is located in the district for monitoring of ground water regime. During the year 2012, the pre monsoon depth to water level was monitored between 5.44 to 13.10 mbgl, while the post monsoon water level observed between 1.80 to 7.03 mbgl. The pre

PAKUR, District of Black Stone monsoon and post monsoon depth to water level maps (2012) of the district prepared and shown in Figure 1 and 2 (at the end of this chapter) respectively.

8.3 Seasonal Fluctuation: - From the pre monsoon and post monsoon depth to water level data collected during May 2012 and November 2012 respectively, water level fluctuations were computed for all NHS located in the district. The water level fluctuation of the district varies from 1.59 to 6.65 m.

8.4 Long term water level trend: - Water level of an area depends upon various factors like the storage of ground water development and variation in rainfall over a long period. Central Ground Water Board has established seven National Hydrograph stations (NHS) for the study of water level behaviour in the district. The water level data of each station has been analysed. The pre monsoon and post monsoon long term water level trend has been calculated for the period of 2002 – 2011 (Table 4). The long term water level trend is showing rising trend between 0.017 – 0.125, 0.437 and 0.011 – 0.287 m/ year for pre monsoon, post monsoon and all period respectively. Similarly, the long term water level trend is showing falling trend between 0.062 – 0.223, 0.071 – 0.335 and 0.196 – 0.300 m/ year for pre monsoon, post monsoon and all period respectively. About 42.86% of NHS showing rising trend of ground water while 57.14% of NHS showing falling trend for pre monsoon period. About 14.28 % of NHS showing rising trend of ground water while 85.72% of NHS showing falling trend for post monsoon period. Similarly, about 71.43 % of NHS showing rising trend and rest 28.27% showing declining trend for all seasons.

8.5 Ground Water Resources Based on the recommendation of the Ground Water Estimation Committee – 1997 (GEC – 1997), Block wise the ground water resource assessment has been evaluated.. The net ground water availability of the district is 12684.77 ham. The gross ground water draft for all uses of the district is 1713.56 ham. All blocks of the district falling under “Safe” category. The stage of ground water development varies from 8.52% to 29.78 %. (Table – 5, Fig. 4). The net ground water availability for future irrigation development for the district is 10520.82 ham. 8.6 Ground Water Quality To evaluate the quality of ground water, samples have been collected from NHS during the May – 2011. These samples have been considered to assess the chemical quality of ground water and its suitability for drinking and irrigation purposes. The samples represent the phreatic aquifer or the shallow aquifer. The water samples were analysed for major chemical constituents by using standard methods at chemical laboratory in CGWB, MER, Patna. Analysed results are given in Table 4. The EC value ranges from 434 – 1014 micro Siemens/cm at 250c.

The results of ground water samples were evaluated in accordance with the ISI – 1993 standard for drinking purpose. In general the quality of ground water in the phreatic aquifer is acceptable except few samples, which are showing nitrate concentration more than permissible

PAKUR, District of Black Stone limit. As per the ground water management study (2006 – 07), the nitrate concentration more than permissible limit has been observed in the villages namely Bannawgram, Kaira Chhatar, Parerkola, Litipara and Tarai. The Fluoride concentration more than permissible limit (bore well samples) has been observed in the villages – Dharampur Morh, Amrapara, Bannawgram, Dhekiduba, Jatang Khakhsa and Rajdaha. The EC value ranges from 280 – 2160 micro Siemens/cm at 250c.

8.7 Status of Ground Water Development There is sufficient scope for development of ground water through shallow as well as deep bore wells. State Govt. department has been constructed a large number of bore wells to mitigate the drinking water problem in the district. Central Ground Water Board has drilled 7 exploratory wells and 5 observation wells in the district. The depth of bore wells ranges between 80.00 – 200.00 mbgl. The yield of bore wells ranges from 1.08 to 30.00 m3/hr. The Transmissivity and Storability value ranges from 2 to 86.29 m2/day and 01.30 x 10-5 to 06.6 x 10-4 respectively (Table 2).

9. Ground Water Management Strategy

9.1 Ground Water Development Dug wells and shallow to medium deep (upto 50 m) bore wells are the main ground water extraction structures in the area to meet the increasing demand of domestic water supply and irrigation. The overall stage of ground water development in the district is 13.91% only. Thus, there is sufficient scope for development of ground water through dug wells, shallow and medium deep bore wells. Construction of dug cum bore well structure is also suitable for enhancing the yield of dug wells which will vary much coast effective. The ground water development varies in different places depending on the availability of favourable potential zones/ aquifers. For the construction of ground water structures, knowledge of the local as well as regional hydrogeological condition of the area is necessary. Ground water potential available for the future development, considering the ground water draft has been worked out as per norms of Ground Water Estimation Committee – 1997 (GEC – 1997) and the details of ground water recharge, net annual ground water availability, annual draft, net ground water balance and stage of ground water development has been assessed and presented in table – 5 (at the end of this chapter). 9.2 Water Conservation and Artificial Recharge In view of the increasing thrust on development of ground water resources, there is urgent need to augment the depleting ground water resources. This gets augmented through natural recharge and can be augmented in an increased scale through artificial recharge. From hydrogeological point of view, rain water conservation is needed to arrest decline in ground water levels and to improve ground water quality by dilution. From hydrogeological point of view, rain water conservation is needed for arrest decline in ground water levels and to improve ground water quality by dilution. The construction of water conservation structures, artificial recharge structures, depends on the topographic features, hydrological and hydrogeological conditions of the area.

From this point of view, the Pakur district may be divided into two parts – 1) Western part of the district which is having undulating topography with hills is suitable for check dam, gabion structures and contour bunding and trenching 2) Middle and eastern part is suitable for percolation tanks and nala bunds.

9.3 Ground Water Related Issue and Problems The Flouride concentration has been found more than permissible limit in some villages like Dharampur Morh, Amrapara, Bannawgram, Dhekiduba, Jatang Khakhsa and Rajdaha.

9.4 Area Notified by CGWB As per the ground water resource assessment report of Jharkhand state, all blocks of the district fall under the safe category. Thus, the authority has not been notified any of the blocks.

9.5 RECOMMENDATION:- 1. Flouride concentration in ground water (bore well ) exceeds the permissible limits in/around villages Dharampur Morh, Amrapara, Bannawgram, Dhekiduba, Jatang Khakhsa and Rajdaha. In fluorideaffected area, the ground water must be used after deflouridation through fluoride removal plants. Alternative source may be identified. The existing fluoride affected sources may be sealed. 2. Nitrate concentration in shallow aquifer (dug well) is found more than permissible limit in/around villages Bannawgram (Pakuria Block), Kairachhatar (Maheshpur Block) and Litipara (Litipara Block). The bore well may be a better alternate option for the drinking water purposes for the above villages. 3. The exploration data indicate that poor success rate of bore wells in the district. Thus geophysical survey may be adopted for selection of suitable sites for ground water exploration and drilling of production bore wells. 4. Rooftop rain water harvesting and artificial recharge practice may be adopted in the Pakur town where the post monsoon water level (NHS) has been found upto 13.10 mbgl. 5. In order to conserve run off water during monsoon, it is suggested to construct the water conservation structures at suitable places to facilitate the ground water recharge. These recharge structure may be constructed in and around Amrapara, Maheshpur and Pakuria blocks, where the long term (2002 – 2011) water level trend is showing declining trend for the pre-monsoon as well as post-monsoon period.

11. GEOLOGY AND THE MINERAL WEALTH OF THE AREA

Major part of the district is characterized by undulating topography covered by basaltic flows of Rajmahal Trap. The main geomorphological features of the district are the rolling pen plain in the south with numerous remnants of ancient ridges and resistant lava plateau of Rajmahal. These plateaus rise above the general level and occupy major part of the district. The general elevation of the hills and plateau varies from70 to 371 m above MSL.

Rajmahal Trap is the major rock type in the district. The other geological formations of the district are alluvium, Laterite and Gondwana. In the eastern part of the district, recent alluvium occurs in patches, which is mainly composed of sand and sub ordinate clay. Laterites are mainly of in situ origin and have been formed by sub-aerial erosion of underlying basalts under favourable climatic conditions. Laterites provide a productive ground water reservoir due to their very porous and permeable nature. The most significant Barker coal measures of Gondwana formation occurs in western part of the district.

The district of Santhal Paragons is mainly a dissected upland of ancient crystalline rocks which are covered with thick flows of volcanic lava. The ancient crystalline rocks, collectively called the Archaean gneisses, cover the greater part of the district. The principal rock is a granitoid gneiss earlier known as the Bengal gneiss.

12.2 Mine disaster Thousands of miners die each year around the globe due to mining accidents, especially from underground coal mining, although hard rock mining is not immune from accidents. A number of coal mines in the state are affected by fires leading to steady destruction of precious energy resource. The reason for mine fires presumably involves the phenomenon of spontaneous heating through two interrelated processes viz., the oxygen coal interaction or oxidative process and the thermal process. It is estimated that about 10% of total national coal resources are in the fire-affected areas. Although underground mining has considerably less impact than opencast mining on land, it causes enough damage through subsidence as observed in Jharia and Raniganj coalfields. Apart from this, leaks of poisonous gases such as hydrogen sulphide or explosive natural gases, especially firedamp or methane, dust explosions, collapsing of mine stopes, mining-induced seismicity, flooding, or general mechanical errors from improperly used or malfunctioning mining equipments and improper explosives underground can also cause to catastrophe.

The Chasnala mining disaster happened on 27 December 1975 in a coal mine near Dhanbad caused by an explosion in the mine followed by flooding which killed 372 miners.

The Dhanbad coal mine disaster occurred on May 28, 1965, in a coal mine near Dhanbad. On the fateful day, there was an explosion in Ghori Dhori colliery near Dhanbad, which led to fire in the mines which killed 375 miners.

13. OVERVIEW OF IMPACT OF MINING ON ENVIRONMENT

Impact on Environment due to mining activities varies based on the quantam of production rate proposed. The different activities envolved before & during mining are narrated below, which helps to asses the impact on environment.

• Exploration:

A mining project can only commence with knowledge of the extent and value of the mineral ore deposit. Information about the location and value of the mineral ore deposit is obtained during the exploration phase. This phase includes surveys, field studies, and drilling test boreholes and other exploratory excavations.

The exploratory phase may involve clearing of wide areas of vegetation (typically in lines), to allow the entry of heavy vehicles mounted with drilling rigs. Many countries require a separate EIA for the exploratory phase of a mining project because the impacts of this phase can be profound and because further phases of mining may not ensue if exploration fails to find sufficient quantities of high-grade mineral ore deposits of economical values.

• Development

If the mineral ore exploration phase proves that there is a large enough mineral ore deposit, of sufficient grade, then the project proponent may begin to plan for the development of the mine. This phase of the mining project has several distinct components.

• Site preparation

If a mine site is located in a remote, undeveloped area, the project proponent may need to begin by clearing land for the construction of staging areas that would house project personnel and equipment. Even before any land is mined, activities associated with site preparation and clearing can have significant environmental impacts, especially if they are within or adjacent to ecologically sensitive areas. The EIA must assess, separately, the impacts associated with site preparation and clearing.

• Active mining

Once a mining company has constructed access roads and prepared staging areas that would house project personnel and equipment, mining may commence. All types of active mining share a common aspect, i.e. the extraction and concentration (or beneficiation) of a metal from the earth. Proposed mining projects differ considerably in the proposed method for extracting and concentrating the metallic ore. In almost every case, metallic

PAKUR, District of Black Stone ores are buried under a layer of ordinary soil or rock (called ‘overburden’ or ‘waste rock’) that must be moved or excavated to allow access to the ore deposit. The first way in which proposed mining projects differ is the proposed method of moving or excavating the overburden. What follows are brief descriptions of the most common methods.

• Open-pit mining

Open-pit mining is a type of strip mining in which the ore deposit extends very deep in the ground, necessitating the removal of layer upon layer of overburden and ore.

In many cases, logging of trees and clear-cutting or burning of vegetation above the ore deposit may precede removal of the overburden. The use of heavy machinery, usually bulldozers and dump trucks, is the most common meas of removing overburden. Open- pit mining often involves the removal of natively vegetated areas, and is therefore among the most environmentally- destructive types of mining, especially within tropical forests.

• Underground mining

In underground mining, a minimal amount of overburden is removed to gain access to the ore deposit. Access to this ore deposit is gained by tunnels or shafts. Tunnels or shafts lead to a more horizontal network of underground tunnels that directly access the ore. In an underground mining method called ‘stoping’ or ‘block caving,’ sections or blocks of rock are removed in vertical strips that leave a connected underground cavity that is usually filled with cemented aggregate and waste rock.

Although underground mining is a less environmentally-destructive means of gaining access to an ore deposit, it is often more costly and entails greater safety risks than strip mining, including open-pit mining. While most large- scale mining projects involve open- pit mining, many large underground mines are in operation around the world.

• Disposal of overburden and waste rock

In almost every project, metallic ores are buried under a layer of ordinary soil or rock (called ‘overburden’ or ‘waste rock’) that must be moved or excavated to allow access to the metallic ore deposit. For most mining projects, the quantity of overburden generated by mining is enormous. The ratio of the quantity of overburden to the quantity of mineral ore (called the ‘strip ratio’) is usually greater than one, and can be much higher. For example, if a proposed mining project involves the extraction of 100 million metric tons of mineral ore, then the proposed mining project could generate more than one billion metric tons of overburden and waste rock.

These high-volume wastes, sometimes containing significant levels of toxic

PAKUR, District of Black Stone

substances, are usually deposited on-site, either in piles on the surface or as backfill in open pits, or within underground mines. Therefore, the EIA for a proposed mining project must carefully assess the management options and associated impacts of overburden disposal. • Site reclamation and closure

When active mining ceases, mine facilities and the site are reclaimed and closed. The goal of mine site reclamation and closure should always be to return the site to a condition that most resembles the pre-mining condition. Mines that are notorious for their immense impact on the environment often made impacts only during the closure phase, when active mining operations ceased. These impacts can persist for decades and even centuries. Therefore, the EIA for every proposed mining project must include a detailed discussion of the mine Reclamation and Closure Plan offered by the mining proponent.

Mine reclamation and closure plans must describe in sufficient detail how the mining company will restore the site to a condition that most resembles pre-mining environmental quality; how it will prevent – in perpetuity – the release of toxic contaminants from various mine facilities (such as abandoned open pits and tailings impoundments); and how funds will be set aside to insure that the costs of reclamation and closure will be paid for.

• Human displacement and resettlement

According to the International Institute for Environment and Development: The displacement of settled communities is a significant cause of resentment and conflict associated with large-scale mineral development. Entire communities may be uprooted and forced to shift elsewhere, often into purpose-built settlements not necessarily of their own choosing. Besides losing their homes, communities may also lose their land, and thus their livelihoods. Community institutions and power relations may also be disrupted. Displaced communities are often settled in areas without adequate resources or are left near the mine, where they may bear the brunt of pollution and contamination. Forced resettlement can be particularly disastrous for indigenous communities who have strong cultural and spiritual ties to the lands of their ancestors and who may find it difficult to survive when these are broken.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACTS OF MINING The most impotant important environmental impact of mining projects are:- • Acid mine drainage and contaminant leaching

Acid mine drainage is considered one of mining most serious threats to water resources. A mine with acid mine drainage has the potential for long-term devastating impacts on rivers, streams and aquatic life.

PAKUR, District of Black Stone

HARM TO FISH & OTHER AQUATIC LIFE:

If mine waste is acid-generating, the impacts to fish, animals and plants can be severe. Many streams impacted by acid mine drainage have a pH value of 4 or lower – similar to battery acid. Plants, animals, and fish are unlikely to survive in streams such as this.

PERPETUAL POLLUTION:

Acid mine drainage is particularly harmful because it can continue indefinitely causing damage long after mining has ended. Due to the severity of water quality impacts from acid mine drainage, many hardrock mines across the west require water treatment in perpetuity. Even with existing technology, acid mine drainage is virtually impossible to stop once the reactions begin. To permit an acid generating mine means that future generations will take responsibility for a mine that must be managed for possibly hundreds of years.”

Impacts of mining projects on air quality:-

The largest sources of air pollution in mining operations are:

Particulate matter transported by the wind as a result of excavations, blasting, transportation of materials, wind erosion (more frequent in open-pit mining), fugitive dust from tailings facilities, stockpiles, waste dumps, and haul roads. Exhaust emissions from mobile sources (cars, trucks, heavy equipment) raise these particulate levels; and gas emissions from the combustion of fuels in stationary and mobile sources, explosions, and mineral processing. Once pollutants enter the atmosphere, they undergo physical and chemical changes before reaching a receptor. These pollutants can cause serious effects to people’s health and to the environment.

Human health, Environment (water, soil, wildlife), Infrastructure,

Large-scale mining has the potential to contribute significantly to air pollution, especially in the operation phase. All activities during ore extraction, processing, handling, and transport depend on equipment, generators, processes and materials that generate hazardous air pollutants such as particulate matter, heavy metals, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides.

PAKUR, District of Black Stone

Transportation sources

Transporation sources of air pollutants include heavy vehicles used in excavation operations, cars that transport personnel at the mining site, and trucks that transport mining materials. The level of polluting emissions from these sources depends on the fuel and conditions of the equipment. Even though individual emissions can be relatively small, collectively these emissions can be of real concern. In addition, mobile sources are a major source of particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and volatile organic compounds that contribute significantly to the formation of ground-level ozone.

Stationary sources

The main gaseous emissions are from combustion of fuels in power generation installations, and drying, roasting, and smelting operations. Many producers of precious metals smelt metal on-site, prior to shipping to off-site refineries. Typically, gold and silver is produced in melting/fluxing furnaces that may produce elevated levels of airborne mercury, arsenic, sulfur dioxide, and other metals.

Fugitive emissions

Common sources of fugitive emissions include: storage and handling of materials; mine processing; fugitive dust, blasting, construction activities, and roadways associated with mining activities; leach pads, and tailing piles and ponds; and waste rock piles. Sources andcharacteristics of fugitive emissions dust in mining operations vary in each case, as do their impacts. Impacts are difficult to predict and calculate but should be considered since they could be a significant source of hazardous air pollutants.

Noise and vibration

Noise pollution associated with mining may include noise from vehicle engines, loading and unloading of rock into steel dumpers, chutes, power generation, and other sources. Cumulative impacts of shoveling, ripping, drilling, blasting, transport, crushing, grinding, and stock-piling can significantly affect wildlife and nearby residents.

Vibrations are associated with many types of equipment used in mining operations, but blasting is considered the major source. Vibration has affected the stability of infrastructures, buildings, and homes of people living near large-scale open-pit mining operations. According to a study commissioned by the European Union in 2000: “Shocks and vibrations as a result of blasting in connection with mining can lead to noise, dust and collapse of structures in surrounding inhabited areas. The animal life, on which the local population may depend, might also be disturbed.”

PAKUR, District of Black Stone

Conclusion 13 nos new potential areas have been identified that are found to be out of Reserved Forest or Protected Forest or Jhangal Jhari or Damin area as per data provided by Forest Department of Pakur. It is recommended to get those areas verified by consulting with DFO, CO, Gram Sabha/other authorities befor opting for EC or any other statutory clearances. Since it is an interim report, to meet the requirement of stone in the present scenario due to expiry of majority of existing operating mines lease by 2020, it is proposed to identify such potential areas at certain interval and get the data bank of DSR to be updated.
