Singareni Collieries Company Limited Annexure - III BRIEF SUMMARY OF JALAGAM VENGAL RAO OPENCAST MINE - II EXPANSION The Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) is operating Jalagam Vengal Rao Opencast Project - II (JVR OCP - II), Coal Mining Project located in Kommepalli Village, near Sathupalli Town, Sathupalli Mandal in Khammam District of Telangana State for which MoEF&CC, GoI accorded environmental clearance vide letter No.J-11015/268/ 2007-IA.II(M) dated 28 th March 2010 for the production capacity of 4.00 MTPA Normative (Peak 5.00 MTPA) in ML area of 1409.81 ha over a period of 54 years. Jalagam Vengala Rao Opencast Project-II and Jalagam Vengala Rao Opencast-I Expansion Project are existing opencast coal mine projects located adjacent to each other at Ayyagaripeta and Kommepalli Villages near Sathupalli town in Sathupalli Mandal, Khammam District of Telangana State. The present proposal is for expansion of JVR OCP - II for enhancing coal production from the existing normative capacity of 4.00 MTPA (Peak 5.00 MTPA) in a Project area of 1409.81 ha to a capacity of 10.00 MTPA in a Project area of 1910.09 ha (Total Land requirement is 1953.46 ha which includes 43.37 ha of Colony Area) by annexing the adjacent Jalagam Vengala Rao Opencast - I Expansion Project, under the of name of Jalagam Vengal Rao Opencast Mine - II Expansion . Further, it is also proposed to construct a Coal Washery with in the project area with 4.00 MTPA capacity to wash the average G-12 grade coal to attain G-9 grade coal with 65.89% yield. This project is planned to extract 245.51 MT of coal by removing total overburden of 1046.89 M.Cum (1032.70 M.Cum. is hard OB and 14.19 M.Cum is topsoil ) with a stripping ratio of 4.26 Cum OB/tonne of coal, by using shovel dumper combination with an estimated life of 28 years. Out of 1910.09 ha of project area, 1156.72 ha of forest land was already diverted for mining purpose. Some of the salient features of the project are as given below. 1 Name of the Project Jalagam Vengal Rao Opencast Mine - II Expansion 2 Type of the Project Opencast Coal Mining Project 3 New / Expansion Expansion 4 Location Village Kommepalli Tehsil Sathupalli District Khammam State Telangana Latitude N 17 o13’01.70” to N 17 o09’54.59” Longitude E 80 o45’43.38” to E 80 o49’20.86” Topo sheet No. 65 C/16 5 Name of the Organization Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) Brief Summary of JVR OCP - II Singareni Collieries Company Limited 6 Coal Field Godavari Valley Coal Field 7 Coal Belt Sattupalli - Chintalapudi Coal belt 8 Borehole density (No/Sq.km) 25.26 Nos./Sq.km 9 No. of coal seams present 6 Seams (D, C, B, Index - II , Index - I & A 10 Seams considered for Opencast 6 11 Coal Reserves Geological reserves 309.55 MT Extractable Reserves 291.97 MT Balance Extractable Reserves 245.51 MT 12 Average grade of Coal G9 & G 13 13 Average gradient of seams 1 in 11 to 1 in 1.25 14 Overburden from this project 1046.89 M.Cum (Hard OB 1032.70 + Top Soil 14.19) 15 Average Stripping Ratio 4.26 m3 OB : 1 Tonne of Coal 16 Rated Capacity 10.00 MTPA 17 Life of the Mine 28 Years (Excluding construction period) 18 Land requirement (i) Forest land 1156.72 ha (already diverted for mining purpose) (ii) Non forest land 753.37 ha Total Project Area 1910.09 ha (iii) Land for colony Purpose 43.37 ha Total Land requirement 1953.46 ha 19 R& R Involved Yes Name of the Villages Kommepalli village PDFs 198 (Non-STs) and 27 (STs) 20 Cost of R&R Package Rs. 34.69 Crores 21 Technology Shovel - Dumper Combination 22 Area of Excavation 1030.87 ha 23 Depth range of the quarry 25.50 m - 363.45 m 24 Coal Linkage Basket Linkage 25 Employment potentiality Direct: 493 Persons, Contractual: 800 Persons 26 Capital Requirement Rs 437.51 Crores 27 Fund Provision for Environment Rs 1.80 Crores Brief Summary of JVR OCP - II Singareni Collieries Company Limited Brief Summary of Coal Washery MoEF&CC accorded environmental clearance for Jalagam Vengalrao Opencast Project-II (JVR OCP - II) for 4.00 MTPA normative (5.00 MTPA peak) in an area of 1409.81 ha , located in village Kommepalli, Mandal Sathupalli, district Khammam, Telangana (erstwhile Andhra Pradesh) vide its letter no: J-11015/268/2007-IA.II(M ) dated 28 th March, 2010. The Stage - II forest clearance was obtained by SCCL vide G.O.Ms.No.24 dated 6 th July, 2017. Now, It is proposed for expansion from 4.00 MTPA (Peak 5.00 MTPA) to 10.00 MTPA and Project area from 1409.81 ha to 1910.09 ha. It is also planned to establish an integrated coal washery of 4 MTPA capacity in 13.03 ha to wash the coal having an average grade of G12 to get G9 grade with 65.89% yield within the project area. The estimated cost of the project is around Rs.70 crores. Washery has been awarded for establishment of continuous operation and with zero effluent discharge system at the site. The proposed washing technique is "Jig & Drum Washing" an internationally accepted ‘state of art technology’ to deal with weighted average ash content of 47 % (ranges from 40 to 52%), non-coking coals of SCCL on Build Operate Own (BOO) basis.
