1 Annexure 1 Category of proposals for which Cost Benefit Analysis are applicable at Penganga Opencast Mine, Village Wirur (Gadegaon), Tah. Korpana, Dist. Chandrapur (M.S.) Sr. No. Nature of proposal 1 All categories of proposals involving forest land up to 20 Ha in Plains and up to 5 Ha in hills. 2 Proposals for defense installation purposes and oil prospecting (Prospecting only) 3 Habitation, establishment of industrial units, tourist lodges/ complex and other building constructions. 4 All other proposals involving forest land more than 20 Ha in plain and more than 5 Ha in hills including roads, transmission lines, minor medium and major irrigation projects, hydel projects, mining activities, Railway lines, location specific installation like Micro-wave station, auto repeater center, TV towers, etc. 5 Proposal for renewal of Mining Lease for forest land. Applicable/ applicable applicable applicable applicable Applicable Applicable Remarks These are cases where a cost benefit analysis is necessary to determine whether diverting the forest land to non forest use is in the overall public interests.

2 COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS Annexure-II PARAMETER FOR EVALUATION LOSS OF FOREST HAS BEEN ACCORDED FOR A PERIOD OF 50 YEARS AS PER GOVERNMENT DIRECTIVES Mining of Mine Quantum of forest land applied for Life of Project Division : Penganga Opencast Mine of WCL, Wani Area : Ha (All rights) : 14 years : Central Chanda Division, Chandrapur (MS) 1. Forest Loss Calculations Present NPV for 1 Ha of forest land Present NPV for Ha forest land Rate of C.A. for 1 Ha of forest land Value of C.A. for Ha forest land Double the amount of C.A. Total loss = 6.26 = X 6.26 = = ( ) = X = = 2 X = = = Loss of animal husbandry productivity including loss of fodder There is no any loss of animal husbandry productivity. 3. Loss of human re-settlement Due to diversion of forest land in this project, there is no loss involved on account of human resettlement. 4. Loss of public facilities and administrative infrastructure (roads, buildings, schools, dispensaries, electric line, railway, etc) on forest land or which would require forest land if these facilities were diverted due to this project. 5. Environmental losses (soil erosion effect on hydrological cycle, wild life habitat, microclimate, upsetting of geological balance) No administrative infrastructures such as roads, buildings, schools, dispensaries, electric line, railway, etc are affected due to diversion of forest land to this project. There will be no loss involved on this account. The details of environmental losses are determined as per given thumb rule for the forest area required for the project and are as follows: i) Density of the forest 0.2 ii) Average density for the area

3 proposed to be acquired for the project iii) Environmental value per hectare for density 1.0 (Rs in ) iv) Environmental loss per hectare for forest of density to be acquired (Rs in ) 0.2 X = v) Total forest area required for the project Ha vi) Total environmental loss for the forest area to be acquired for the project X = Suffering of oustees. There will not be any losses on this account as diversion of the forest land to this project will not affect any house or structure.

4 Annexure-III COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS I CALCULATION OF COST PARAMETERS FOR EVALUATION OF LOSS OF FOREST Nam of Mine Quantum of forest land applied for Life of Project Division : Penganga Opencast Mine, Wani Area : Ha : 14 years : Central Chanda Division, Chandrapur Particulars Evaluation of losses Annual losses () PARAMETER NO. 1 Loss of value of Timber, fuel wood and minor forest produce on an annual basis including loss of Man hours per annum of people who derive livelihood & wages from harvest of these commodities (to be quantified and expressed in Monitory terms) The details of loss of timber, fuel wood and minor forest produce etc. for the forest land required for Penganga Opencast Project. A) Timber, fuel wood & Bamboo B) Minor forest produce Tendu Leaves (Annually) C) Loss of mandays of employment to people dependent on this forest patch for livelihood (Annually). (Due to no trees available in the proposed land) Qualified in monitory terms for a period of 50 years (in ) PARAMETER NO. 2 Loss of animal husbandry productivity including loss of fodder There is no any loss of animal husbandry productivity. PARAMETER No. 3 Loss due to Human resettlement As there is no human resettlement due to diversion of forest land, hence there will not be

5 any loss on this account. PARAMETER No. 4 Loss of public facilities and administrative infrastructure. PARAMETER No. 5 Environmental losses. No public facility and administrative infrastructure like road, etc exists on forest land which is proposed to be diverted in this project. Average Density of forest area proposed to be acquired for the project is 0.2 Environmental value per Ha for average density (0.2) Rs per Ha X 0.2 X = X 50 = lakh PARAMETER No. 6 Suffering to oustees. No human habitation exist on forest land proposed to be diverted, hence no loss on account of suffering to oustees from forest land. Grand Total Rs Rs

6 COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS II CALCULATION OF BENEFITS PARAMETERS FOR EVALUATION OF BENEFIT ( withstanding loss of forest) Mining of Mine Quantum of forest land applied for Life of Project Parameters for calculation : Penganga Opencast Mine of WCL, Wani Area : Ha (All rights) : 14 years : Total Mineable Reserve Mt Coal price for PROM coal has been uniformly adopted Sl No Parameters Evaluation benefits Qualified in Monitory terms per annum (4.0 Mt per yr) 1. Increasing of productivity attributed to specific project. 2. Benefit of Company Sale price of Rs per Tonne a) Rs / Te. b) Rs. 10 per Tonne c) Sales Rs per Tonne d) Clean energy Rs. 100 per Tonne e) Total IB) Electricity Generation 1Te = 1248 Rs. 5.00/ unit I(A&B) Total II) Other benefits not qualified in monitory terms a) Growth of ancillary industries. b) Development of surrounding area. Rs Rs Rs Rs Rs lakh Rs Rs Rs Cannot be expressed in monetary terms Qualification of Benefit in monitory terms connected to the period (50 yrs) evaluation of coal benefit ratio Rs Rs Rs Rs lakh Rs Rs Rs Rs

7 c) Increased per capita income d) Compensatory afforestation 3. Population benefited Population is indirectly benefited 4. Employment 307 persons Rs potential 5. Cost of Occurrence of coal is acquisition of a natural phenomena facility on non and alternate site is forest land not feasible. wherever feasible. 6. Loss of (a) A) Agricultural agricultural and B) Animal husbandry (b) husbandry production due to diversion of forest land. 7. Cost of Forest land applied rehabilitation of for diversion is devoid displaced of any human persons as habitation. different from compensatory amount given for displacement. 8. Cost of supply of The user agency is tree fuel wool to giving the cost of one workers residing gas cylinder to the in or near forest workers for domestic area during the use as such supply of period of fire wood does not construction. arise. 9. Total Rs Rs Rs

8 COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS III CALCULATION OF BENEFIT/ COST RATIO Total Benefits (As per II calculations) = Rs Total Losses (As per I calculations) = Rs Hence, Benefit/ Cost Ratio = = Thus, the project gives positive Benefit/ Cost Ratio. The monetary returns of the project are positive over the environmental losses.
