2.1. Identification of project and project proponent The proposed Limestone (Burning) mining is at Village: Lakheri, Tehsil: Indragarh, District: Bundi (Rajasthan). The mine area is proposed for KHASRA No. 553,565,566,562 & 561 having a total area 1.02 ha. Shri Mohammad Hussain, POA-Shri Anas Ali S/O Shri Yunus Ali has involved in the Limestone (Burning) mining activities of this project. The applicant/project proponent is working as proprietor.
2.2. Brief description of nature of the project The proposed Limestone (Burning) mining is at Village: Lakheri, Tehsil: Indragarh, District: Bundi (Rajasthan). The mine area is proposed for KHASRA No. 553,565,566,562 & 561 having a total area 1.02 ha. Now, considering the demand and supply of Limestone (Burning), lessee wants to apply fresh environmental clearance for his mine lease for Limestone (Burning) production. Hence he has applied as a new project and sought environmental clearance for this project from SEIAA, Rajasthan.

2.3. Need for the project and its importance to the country The economy of India is the eleventh largest in the world by nominal GDP and the third largest by purchasing power parity. The primary reason for the economic growth can be attributed to the growth in infrastructural facilities such as roads, highways & buildings. Infrastructural growth is directly proportional to the availability of raw materials such as soil, stone, Limestone (Burning), sand etc. Limestone (Burning) are amongst the main industries of the district. The mining project will contribute to some extent the supply of raw material on demand by these industries.
2.4 Demand – Supply Gap The growth in India’s economy and population, coupled with urbanization, has resulted in an increasing demand for residential, commercial, industrial as well as other physical infrastructure. Considering the demand of the mineral and its sufficient availability in this area, it is essential to have limestone mine to sustain the demand and supply gap.
2.5 Imports vs. Indigenous Production
Page2 Pre-feasibility Report for Limestone (Burning) Mining Project at ML No. 03/1998 having Area: 1.02 ha in Village: Lakheri, Tehsil: Indragarh, District: Bundi (Rajasthan)
There will be no imports for the proposed project. All the mined limestone will be used in developing the infrastructure.
2.6 Export Possibility The present project does not seek the export possibility as it is a cheap mineral and the demand is high in the local area.
2.7 Domestic/Export Markets Excavated limestone will be used for domestic market.
2.8. Employment generation (direct and indirect) due to the project. The proposed Limestone (Burning) mining activity is envisaged to improve the socio-economic condition on a micro-economic scale by generating local employment of approximately 19 peoples directly and indirectly.

9. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 9.1. Air Environment Management Water sprinkling on haul road and approach road. Plantation around the mining lease area will be provided to arrest dust emissions. Monitoring of Air quality will be done on regular basis. Tractors/Trolleys will be covered by tarpaulin sheets during transportation. Regular maintenance of vehicles. Sharp drill bits will be used for drilling to reduce generation of dust and noise level. Drilling machines will be equipped with water injecting system to prevent dust to get air borne. Rock breaker will be used for breaking over size boulders in order to reduce dust and noise generation, which otherwise generates due to secondary blasting.
Page15 Pre-feasibility Report for Limestone (Burning) Mining Project at ML No. 03/1998 having Area: 1.02 ha in Village: Lakheri, Tehsil: Indragarh, District: Bundi (Rajasthan)
Controlled blasting and optimization of use of explosive energy will be done which helps in reducing the above emissions All the vehicles that will be used for transportation i.e. trucks, tippers, and dumpers will be maintained regularly and checked for Pollution under Control. Personal Protective Equipment like dust mask will be provided to all employees working in the likely dusty areas.
9.2. Water Environment Management No wastewater will be generated in mining activities except sanitary waste. Sanitary wastewater will be treated in septic tank/soak pits. Garland drains will be created around mine area and dump area. The wash off and leachates from dump sites will be collected by providing garland drains around the dump sites and they will be de-silted in these drains. The drains will be cleaned regularly before onset of monsoon. Surface runoff will be discharged through sedimentation tank.
9.3. Noise Environment Management Mitigation measures to control ambient noise levels: Green Belt/Green Cover will be developed around mine pits to attenuate noise levels. Employees will be provided with personal protection equipment (PPE’s) at high noise area. Operator enclosure will be provide with aquatics prove cabin. Drilling will be carried out with the help of sharp drill bits which will help in reducing noise. Controlled blasting will be done to minimize noise, ground vibration, fly rock and air overpressure. Proper maintenance, oiling and greasing of machines at regular intervals will be done to reduce generation of noise. Mitigation measures to control vibrations and fly rock: Blasting will be performed strictly as per the guidelines specified under blasting technology. Blasting operations will be carried out only during daytime as per mine safety guidelines. Proper warning signals will be used.
Page16 Pre-feasibility Report for Limestone (Burning) Mining Project at ML No. 03/1998 having Area: 1.02 ha in Village: Lakheri, Tehsil: Indragarh, District: Bundi (Rajasthan)
Adequate safe distance from centre of blasting will be maintained. During blasting, other activities in the immediate vicinity will be temporarily stopped. Overcharging will be avoided. Optimization of blasting Usage of staggered pattern Supervision of drilling and blasting operations to ensure design blast geometry. Sub-drilling will be kept just adequate to tear-off the bench bottom.
9.4. Soil Proper mitigation measures will be adopted to control dust emissions like water sprinkling. There will be no outside discharge from mining lease area. There is no toxic element present in the mineral which may contaminate the soil.
9.5. Occupational Health and Safety Measures The fugitive dust emission will be suppressed by water sprinkling on haul and transportation road. The level of dust emissions will be controlled as per permissible limit. All workers (regular and daily) will be registered under ESIC for regular monitoring of their health and occupational diseases. All employees regular or contractual will be selected for complete health check and occupational disease check in ESIC hospital which comes under Ministry of Labor. Any suspected case will be further examined by ESIC occupational health detection center.

10. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL (FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS) 10.1. Financial and social benefits with special emphasis on the benefit to the local people including tribal population, if any, in the area The project will bring economical benefits to the state by the way of royalty for mineral and people by the way of direct (19 people) and secondary employment (5 persons for transport) opportunities. The mine management will be helping nearby villages by providing aid to school, conducting medical and social awareness camps, helping in formation of self help groups etc especially keeping in the view the tribal and economically backward population in the area as part of its corporate social responsibility. Thus the project will bring out socio-economic improvement of the area and will prove beneficial to the area.
