Information / Checklist Confirmation Yes/ Details Proposed mining site is rugged non-forested and non-arable, 1.1 which is currently not in use. Permanent or temporary change in After the commissioning of the land use, land cover or topography project, manual mining of sand including increase in intensity of land will be done under careful use (with respect to local land use manner to avoid any violation of plan) the recommendations of MoEF. The topography of the site will remain unaffected. There is no vegetation or building. 1.2 Clearance of existing land, vegetation Hence, no clearance of any and buildings? vegetation, building and land will be required. 1.3 Creation of new land uses? The mining activity will be confined to the stream bed. 1.4 There are no such investigations Pre-construction investigations e.g., causing physical changes of the bore houses, soil testing? lease area. 1.5 Construction works? construction work is required for the proposed activity except for temporary rest shelter for workers & ramps for movement of trucks near the mine area. 1.6 Demolition works? demolition is involved during the project.

Long-term dismantling or 1.26 decommissioning or restoration Yes works? Ongoing activity during 1.27 decommissioning which could have an impact on the environment? The project shall not affect the existing traffic status. As there will be no electricity or large scale water requirement for the project, therefore no transmission lines or pipelines are involved. impoundment, damming, culverting, realignment or other changes to the hydrology of watercourses or aquifers is envisaged. The site is located on the left bank (facing East) of the River Ganga and other stream crossing through the site. Water for drinking shall be brought from nearby places. The mining site will not affect natural drainage. In the operation phase sand will be excavated and transported to local markets using trucks. Plantation will be raised along the bank of the river, in the period of Monsoon. Being simple manual excavation process no decommissioning would be there which could have any Page 7

10 Details thereof (with approximate quantities / rates, wherever Information / Checklist Confirmation Yes/. possible) with source of information data 4.1 Spoil, overburden or mine wastes overburden will be generated due to the operation. Since no temporary or permanent residence facility will be provided 4.2 Municipal waste (domestic and or and 8 hrs. Working does not commercial wastes) anticipate any significant generation of Municipal Waste on the extraction site. 4.3 Hazardous wastes (as per Hazardous hazardous wastes are envisaged. Waste Management Rules) 4.4 Other industrial process wastes industrial process waste is envisaged. 4.5 Surplus product surplus products are expected as all production will be lifted side by side. 4.6 Sewage sludge or other sludge from effluent treatment involved. effluent treatment 4.7 Construction or demolition wastes construction or demolition wastes are expected. 4.8 Redundant machinery or equipment redundant machinery or equipment is involved. 4.9 Contaminated soils or other materials contaminated soils are generated Agricultural wastes agricultural wastes are produced Other solid wastes other solid wastes are generated. 5.0 Release of pollutants or any hazardous, toxic or noxious substances to air (kg/hr) Page 10

11 . Information / Checklist Confirmation Yes/ Emissions from combustion of fossil 5.1 fuels from stationary or mobile Yes sources 5.2 Emissions from production processes Yes 5.3 Emissions from materials handling including storage or transport Yes 5.4 Emissions from construction activities including plant and equipment Dust or odors from handling of 5.5 materials including construction materials, sewage and waste Details thereof (with approximate quantities / rates, wherever possible) with source of information data There are only mobile sources of fossil fuel consumption i.e., in tippers and water tankers. Since maintained vehicles will be used and continuous maintenance of the vehicles is being ensured by the proponent however; the emission of obnoxious gases cannot be ruled out completely. To control such emissions to the threshold limits proper green belt designing has been planned around the mining site and around the haulage roads. Particulate matter (Fugitive dust emission) will arise as a result of excavation further; it is being ensured that water sprinkling will be used as dust suppressor. Trucks and trolleys will be used for transporting sand duly covered with tarpaulin to minimize the loss of mineral during transportation. construction activity will be done. Dust emission is expected during handling of minerals i.e. during loading of minerals. This can be minimized by sprinkling water. Page 11
