Information/Checklist 4.1 Soil, overburden or mine wastes 4.2 Municipal waste(domestic and commercial waste) 4.3 Hazardous waste (as per hazardous waste management Rules) 4.4 Other industrial process wastes / Details thereof (with approximate quantities/ rates wherever possible) with source of information data This project area is covered with soil. The removed soil and about 10% generated waste will be stacked on lease boundary. There is no residential (1.5, 1.7) or commercial arrangement, in turn it would not generate any municipal waste. Release of any hazardous solid waste material is not at all expected during various stages of this mining project. industry or subsidiary of project exists and therefore would not generate any industrial waste. 4.5 Surplus product t applicable. 4.6 Sewage sludge or other sludge from effluent treatment There will not be any kind of sewage sludge or other sludge generation, therefore would not generate any effluent, which may require any type of treatment. 4.7 Construction or demolition Project does not involve any wastes construction or demolition activity ( 1.5 and 1.6) 4.8 Redundant machinery or equipment Redundant machinery or equipment not required. 9 P a g e

10 4.9 Contaminated soils or other materials Owing to nature of the project, it does not produce waste to contaminate any of the material by releasing harmful solid, liquid or emissions Agricultural wastes Being no requirement of agricultural material during any phase of project, no agriculturalwastes will be generated in this mining project Other solid wastes any other solid waste generation is expected or envisaged during various stages of the project. 5. Release of pollutants or any hazardous, toxic or noxious substances to Air (Kg/hr.) S.. Information/Checklist 5.1 Emissions from combustion of fossil fuels from stationary or mobile sources 5.2 Emissions from production processes 5.3 Emissions from materials handling including storage or transport / Details thereof (with approximate quantities/ rates wherever possible) with source of information data There will be small amount of exhaust emission from the machinery and vehicles utilized in quarry area. Such emissions will be kept within the permissible norms of limit with proper maintenance. Machinery used for excavation and loading purpose, generates someemission pollution which will be kept within the permissible norms of limit. Dust emission is envisaged due to vehicles movement. Due care will be taken by moving the vehicle at slow speed and also adequate dust suppression system will be installed on haulage road, if required. 10 P a g e

11 5.4 Emissions from construction activities including plant and equipment 5.5 Dust or odors from handling of materials including construction materials, sewage and waste 5.6 Emissions from incineration of waste construction (1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8), plant (4.6) and equipment (2.6, 4.8) are involved that may liberate harmful emissions. Some amount of dust will generate in quarring, and transportation of mined out flagstone. Due care will be taken for dust emanation. (5.3) t applicable. 5.7 Emissions from burning of waste in open air (e.g. slash materials, construction debris) 5.8 Emissions from any other sources There is no production or remains of the slash material or construction debris that may require burning therefore, no emission is expected from burning. There is no any other source of harmful emission is envisaged. 6. Generation of noise and vibration and Emissions of light and Heat: S.. Information/Checklist 6.1 From operation of equipment e.g. engines, ventilation plant, crushers 6.2 From industrial or similar processes / Details thereof (with approximate quantities/ rates wherever possible) with source of information data Transport vehicles may generate noise (50-55 db) during operation; the noise pollution will be maintained within the permissible norms of limit. However, personals working close to machines will be provided ear plugs/ear muffs for further protection. t applicable 11 P a g e

12 6.3 From construction or There is no construction (1.5) or demolition demolition (1.6) is not needed to attract this point. 6.4 From blasting or piling Blasting is not required. Quarring 6.5 From construction or operational traffic 6.6 From lighting or cooling systems activity will be done by manually. Vide reasons mentioned earlier (1.5, 1.17) no construction or operational traffic is expected to cause any noise,vibration, emissions of light or heat. The project requires no specific lighting or cooling systems. 6.7 From any other sources other source is envisaged to generate noise, vibration, emissions of light and heat. 7. Risks of contamination of land or water from releases of pollutant into the Ground or into sewers, surface water, groundwater, coastal water or the sea: S.. Information/Checklist 7.1 From handling storage, use or spillage of hazardous materials 7.2 From discharge of sewage or other effluent to water or the land (expected mode and place of discharge) 7.3 By deposition of pollutants emitted to air into the land or into water / Details thereof (with approximate quantities/ rates wherever possible) with source of information data The handled material (3.1) does not contain any hazardous material therefore its spillage is not possible. Since no sewage (4.6, 5.5) or other effluents are envisaged for discharge, it will not contaminate water or the land. Dust will be generated during excavation and loading of mined out flagstone. These effects are localized, transitory and intermittent in nature. Even thendue care will be taken for dust emanation by deployment of 12 P a g e

13 movable type of water sprinkling system. 7.4 From any other sources There will not be any other sources that may be expected to release any pollutants. 7.5 Is there a risk of long term There is no risk to build up pollutants buildup of pollutants in the in the environment as impact on air quality is localized; transitory and environment from these intermittent have no insignificant sources? effect on the environment. 8. Risk of accidents during construction or operation of the project, which could affect human health or environment S.. Information/Checklist 8.1 From explosions, spillages, fires etc. from storage, handling, use or production of hazardous substances / Details thereof (with approximate quantities/ rates wherever possible) with source of information data As there is no storage, spillage, fire, etc. therefore no production of any hazardous substance is expected from any activity at any stage of the project. 8.2 From any other causes There is no any other cause to have risk of accidents during the operation or any other stage of the project. 8.3 Could the project be affected by natural disasters causing environmental damage (e.g. floods, earthquakes, This quarring project is not located in earthquakes or landslide prone zone. It is located on hard and stable rock- safe zone. Although it is nonoperational during rainy days also,therefore no risk of accident is landslides, cloudburst etc.)? envisaged during any natural disasters. 13 P a g e

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. S.. Information/Checklist 9.1 Lead to development of supporting, lilies, ancillary development or development stimulated by the project which could have impact on environment e.g.: Supporting infrastructure (roads, power supply, waste or waste water treatment, etc.) Housing development Extractive industries Supply industries Others 9.2 Lead to after-use of the site, which could have an impact on the environment 9.3 Set a precedent for later developments 9.4 Have cumulative effects due to proximity to other existing or / Details thereof (with approximate quantities/ rates wherever possible) with source of information data The project has no conventional structures of developmental work, solid or fluidal wastes or harmful emissions therefore it would not have any impact on the environment of any type of existing, developmental or other planned activities. The project would not have any adverse impact on the environment after-use of the site as at the close of the mine under reclamation it is proposed that this mine area to be water filled and used for pisciculture as well as will help in recharging the ground water and can also be used as localizes irrigation purpose. A better after use scenario which is likely to increase aesthetic beauty of the area in addition to benefit of better greenery would set a precedent for subsequent entrepreneurs who venture such projects. There is no adversecumulative environmental effect envisaged due to proximity on other existing or planned 14 P a g e

15 planned projects with similar effects activities in the locality but a better planned and executed project will yield a better result individually, which in turn will give better cumulative effect also. (III) Environmental Sensitivity: S..
