Topography Based on the topographical map No.72P/12 the Dumka district, hills are widely scattered with adulatory topography. The general slope of the area towards east around ML area. The ML area is about 3.38 Km south of very prominent NE-SE running Dumka- Nalhati Hat road. The lease area has adulatory topography with altitude of 127 m from MSL. A major river Brahmani is flowing at a distance of 9.35 Km North-East from the lease area. 2.1.2. Geology of the precise area The CGGC comprises three main lithodemic suites namely a) b) c) The Enclave suite, The Chatra gneiss suite, The Intrusive suite, The Enclave suite comprises the Dumka Granulites including the charnockitic and khondalitic rocks exposed in Palamau and Dumka. The Chatra gneiss suite encompasses the Dhanwar gneiss, the Baradag gneiss, Lilajan Migmatites and Dhanwar Augen gneiss. The intrusive suite comprises of aplogranite, pegmatites and quartz veins. The ML area under consideration falls in Dhanwar gneiss suite and located at Dumka (24 19’30”:86 00’). The country rock in the ML area is biotite granite gneiss. The rock is well foliated. The foliation roughly strikes E-W and dips 60 South. The rocks are highly weathered. As the granite gneiss has been intruded by number of metabasites, dolerite gabbro, anorthosites etc in the area, the ML area is having intrusion of well defined dolerite dyke. The rock is very fine grained and dark gray in calour. The strike of the dolerite dyke is almost parallel to the strike of country rock. The rock indicates concoidal fracture. The Dolerite is in contact with the weathered granite gneiss is N50 E- S50 W and dipping 45 SE. However, the exposed dolerite is E-W with about 50 W and physically the rock appears to be horizontal. The rock is used as building stone <ul style="display: flex;"><li style="flex:1">APPLICANT </li><li style="flex:1">CONSULTANTS </li></ul>MD. ABDUS SALAM ANSARI S/O MD.GULAM RASUL SATHI PLANNERS PVT.

ABDUS SALAM ANSARI AT NEAR MOUZA– PAHARPUR, P.O.- BENAGARIA, P.S.– SHIKARIPARA, DISTRICT–DUMKA, STATE–JHARKHAND B2 CHAPTER 3 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN Impact of mining on environment will be Dust generation, Temporary storage and utilization of top soil, Land degradation, Stabilization and vegetation of dumps, Adverse effect on water regime, socio-economic benefits arising out of mining, Noise and Vibration. Major impacts, mitigation measures and good practices are discussed below. 3.1. AIR ENVIRONMENT 3.1.1 INTRODUCTION The ambient air quality monitoring with respect to the study area of Paharpur Stone Mine project site was done for the baseline information. The various sources of air pollution in the region are industrial, traffic, urban and rural activities. The data will also be useful for assessing the conformity to standards of the ambient air quality during the Mining operation. The study area represents mostly rural environment. AIR POLLUTION CONTROL MEASURE 1. Dust generation during drilling of shot holes, haul road, smoke from vehicles shall be controlled by following practices: 2. Dust extractor or wet drilling to be followed to control dust at source of emission during drilling. 3. Sharp drill bits will be used for drilling and regrinding will be done periodically to reduce the dust generation. 4. Emission level in all machineries and transport vehicles to be tested once in a year to keep them in control with proper maintenance. 5. Water sprinklers along the sides of haul road shall be fixed to control fly of dust while transporting minerals and waste. Provision for automatic water sprinkle system on permanent road and water spray by tankers on temporary road shall be made. 6. Avenue trees along roads and green belt around ML boundary shall be planted with density of 2000 trees per Hectare as per the norms of MoEF to control fly of dust, noise etc 7. Ambient air pollution monitoring will be carried out as per the regulations <ul style="display: flex;"><li style="flex:1">APPLICANT </li><li style="flex:1">CONSULTANTS </li></ul>MD.

WATER ENVIRONMENT. 3.2.1 Introduction Selected water quality parameters for ground water have been studied for assessment of ground water and surface water within the radius of 500 m radius around the proposed project site. The purpose of the study is to Assess the water quality characteristics for physical and chemical parameters; Analyze the impacts on agricultural productivity, habitat conditions, recreational resources and aesthetics in the vicinity; and predict impact of the project on water quality. Water pollution control Measure: Depth of Mining is planned to above the ground water table. Therefore pumping of ground water or surface water does not arise in this mine. The turbid rain water during rainy season is proposed to settle in a pit before discharging in to the natural stream for settling the suspended particles. Pump having required capacity is installed to lift accumulated rain water from working pit to the settling tank. The rain water should be collected by garland drain around the lease boundary/pit and allowed to settle in a small pit for settling suspended particles before passing to natural drainage system. It shall be ensured that quality of drinking water for the worker is hygienic and good sanitation system shall be made available. 3.3. Land Environment Significant impact on land occurs due to change in land use pattern, degradation of soil quality and dumping of waste. The project is site specific due to the availability of mineral resources. Hence there is no alternative location suggested for mining. Some of the measures followed to minimize the impacts are as follows: The mining activities will be restricted within the lease area only. The waste material will be utilized for the construction of road and also used by the local people for construction work. The surface run off from the lease area will be retain within the lease and used for plantation, dust suppression and block cutting. So there will be no soil erosion from the lease area and its surrounding due to mining activity. The dump will have inward slope with catch drains at inward side of the terrace and the catch drain of the individual terrace will be connected to the garland drain outside the periphery of the dump. Retaining wall and garland drain will be constructed around the dumps and the surface runoff water pass through the garland drain and finally settled in a settling pit before released outside. Retaining wall and garland drains for the proposed waste dump will be constructed to arrest wash offs from the dump. <ul style="display: flex;"><li style="flex:1">APPLICANT </li><li style="flex:1">CONSULTANTS </li></ul>MD.
