4 respect to local land use plan) 1.2 Clearance of existing land, vegetation and buildings? river bed only no other area disturbed. Proposed mine is a part of river bed with Ordinary Sand reaches. Ordinary Sand mining will be done up to a depth of 2.15m. The activity will take place on the river bed. The excavated Ordinary Sand from mine lease area will be naturally replenished with the flow of water Mining will be restricted to the allotted area only keeping the shores unaffected, thus does not involve any change in existing topography or land use.

There is no such risk. 8. Risk of accidents during construction or operation of the Project, which could affect human health or the environment. Information/Checklist Yes/ Details thereof (with approximate quantities/rates, wherever possible) with source of information data 11

12 8.1 From explosions, spillages, fires etc from storage, handling, use or production of hazardous substances storage is proposed at site, material will directly transported to the market. 8.2 From any other causes t Applicable 8.3 Could the project be affected by natural disasters causing environmental damage (e.g. floods, earthquakes, landslides, cloudburst etc)? Mining activities are being done in dry season only. In fact the project helps to protect the banks of river and nearby villages from flooding and erosion by maintains the natural course and flow of river. Thus the impact will be positive in term of protection by natural hazards causing environmental damage. 9. Factors which should be considered (such as consequential development) which could lead to environmental effects or the potential for cumulative impacts with other existing or planned activities in the locality. Information/Checklist 9.1 Lead to development of supporting. Lights, ancillary development or development stimulated by the project which could have impact on the environment e.g.: Supporting infrastructure (roads, power supply, waste or waste water treatment, etc.) Housing development Extractive industries Supply industries Other 9.2 Lead to after-use of the site, which could have an impact on the environment. Yes/ Details thereof (with approximate quantities/rates, wherever possible) with source of information data Project proponent will organize regular medical checkup camps and recreational activities. Employment to local people will be generated. Overall living standard of nearby people will have positive impact. supporting infrastructure is required since the site has good connectivity with local roads, MDR and highways. Also the laborers will be hired locally thus no permanent or temporary housing is required at site. Since it is a river bed excavation, arrival of monsoon every year will replenish the excavated site. Hence there will be no change in land use pattern. 12

13 9.3 Set a precedent for later developments Have cumulative effects due to proximity to other existing or planned projects with similar effects. The project will cause positive, long term impact.
