4 KEY PLAN FOR LOCATION OF PARASWAHA FURSHI-PATTHAR MINE Mine Area 4

5 ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN: FOR PARASWAHA FURSHI- PATTHAR MINE Awareness regarding environment impact has assumed a greater dimension particularly in developed countries. This is evident from the stringent law in countries Open cast mining operation comprises of various activities related to blasting and material handling is also potential source of environmental pollution. We are discussing in the following chapters potential effect of the mining activities on environment; (A) Proposed renewal of 1.0hectare in khasra no.22/1 at PARASWAHA village of Jabera- Tehsil, District Damoh. Environment management plan is prepared on following grounds and guidelines, hole on the status of the base line information with regarded to the following : Existing land use pattern The proposed quarry lease area is gentle sloping flat ground and having undulating topography surrounded by agricultural land the area is mostly covered with thin black cotton soil. There is no other activity in the area excepting proposed quarry operation and the area is at present barren. As the deposit is in a small ground and the surrounding area is agricultural land of single crop pattern depending on proper and sufficient rainfall. The surrounding area is mostly private land occupied by private individual. In the proposed lease area as well as in surrounding area there is no sufficient cover of alluvial soil so that agricultural activity cannot be carried out properly. The applied area is a govt. land recorded as grassing land. The present land use pattern is as follows: 5

6 Activities Forest Land ( ha/acre) Waste barren land (ha/acre) Agriculture Land (ha/acre) Grazing land (ha/acre) Mining pit/ Quarry Nil 0.0 Nil Nil Crusher Nil Outside the Lease Nil Nil infrastructure facilities (Work shop, office Magazine shade) Nil 0.0 Nil Nil Undisturbed land Nil 1.0 Nil Nil Total Nil 1.0 Nil Nil Water regime: The water table is m below ground level. The water table fluctuation is between 100 m during summer rising up to 80 m during rainy season. The main drainage of the area is through different seasonal water sources. Flora & Fauna: Flora: There is no natural flora of national importance very less quantity of flora is seen in the lease area. 6

7 Fauna: Red ant, cricket and blank ant etc. have been noticed. The birds and common in the lease area Owl, kite, Cuckoo, Indian myna etc., have also been noticed. Domestic cattle may be present. Quality of air, ambient noise level and water Air: The air may be polluted due to generation of dust by plying of vehicle operations, crusher and extraction process. There is no other source of air pollution except wind may carry dust from external dumps and occasional drilling and blasting. Air quality monitoring was carried out by MP. Pollution control board. The suspended particulate matter is in permitted parameter. All the parameters are within the permissible limits. Regular monitoring suggested. Ambient noise level: In the mining noise pollution is generally caused due to drilling, blasting and movement of truck. Since mechanized mining will be done, noise pollution cannot be ruled out entirely. The noise pollution may be due to running of excavator DG set pumps, and running of trucks. The noise level was monitored & it is 59 db. Water: The Source of water is ground water and surface water through dug wells and river there is no adverse effect on water quality due to mining water available in the village and sample was collected and analyzed from MP Pollution control Board. Meteorology data for Damoh Stations: Meteorology plays a vital role in affecting the description of pollutants into the environment after their discharge into atmosphere. 7

8 The only source of a long term meteorically data is the Indian meteorological Department (IMD) which maintains a network to meteorological station at several important locations. Jabera IMD station is the closest IMD station from PARASWAHA mine. Being at far distance the meteorological data of Jabera IMD station may not truly reflect the condition at mine site. Meteorological data for PARASWAHA Furshi Pattthar Furshi- Patthar mine: In view of the limitation of the meteorological data of IMD station of Jabera it is essential to obtain more exhaustive meteorological data within the study area and preferably inside the premise of the mine site. Accordingly half hourly monitoring from metrological parameters was carried out during the study/ period. Wind velocity: July appears to be the most windily month showing averages of maximum, minimum and average wind velocity as 2.2, 5.5 and 7.0 km/ hr. respectively and October appease to be least windily month showing average of maximum, minimum and average wind velocity appears to decrease up to October and then starts rising tills it reaches its maximum value in July. Temperature: June appears to be the hottest month with average of maximum minimum and average temperature as 44, 25 and 35 0 C respectively. There are very little changes in monthly 8

9 average temperature during July to October period but after that temperatures start dropping and tent to reach minimum value in January. Relative Humidity: August appears to have the highest relative humidity. Average of maximum minimum and average is at 75, 17 and 43 percent respectively. Average of relative humidity show minimum value during may and then start rising again till they reach the maximum values in August. Rain fall: The rainfall is the only source for the regeneration of surface and ground water resources study area receives maximum of the rainfall during monsoon period that is June to September Rainfall data for Damoh Tehsil headquarter. The average rainfall is found to be around 1100 mm. The rainfall during monsoon months that is June to September is found to be more that 80% to 90% of the total rainfall. This indicates that very little rainfall occurs during non-monsoon months. Human Settlement The area under the mining lease is not habituated. Nearest human settlement in buffer zone giving population directions and distance is given below: S. No Name of village Distance (km) Direction Population 1 Paraswaha 1.56km SW

10 2 Jamnera 1.3 SE PatiNandlal 1.9 NE Larguwan 1.2 NW Khamariya 2.3 SW 775 Public Building: There is no public building places and monuments in the core zone. Does the area fall under notification area under water (Prevention and Control Pollution act 122/14) No Environment Impact Assessment Statement: (i) Land area indicating the area likely to be degraded due to mining dumping roads, workshop etc. Proposed control measures of Air Pollution: 1. Frequent water spraying on haul roads, services roads and overburden dumps 10

11 2. Regular maintenance of vehicles and machineries are carried out in order to control Emissions 3. Cabins for excavators loaders and dumpers and dust masks to work men are provided 4. A good housekeeping and proper maintenance is practiced which will help in Controlling pollution 5. Periodical monitoring of air samples will be carried out at various locations Plantation of trees of carried put along the haul road. Water quality This is transported in suspended situation and solution state to meet different water bodies such as pond, stream River etc. especially during rainy season. There is very small effect by the mining activity at the excavation of Finished Sandstone increase the participation ratio of partials during running of water in the rainy season. Noise Level: Noise is also produced due to movements of dumpers and other vehicle. Present noise level in mine as well as nearest villages are discussed in previous pares. This noise may have adverse effect on mine workers especially for those who are working in high noise areas. The general noise level in mining area at stage of mining operation is in the range of 70 to 100 db (A) Mitigation measures to reduce ambient noise levels & measures to protect workers from high noise levels: 1- A thick green belt in phased manner to be provided around the periphery of the lease area to screen the noise 11

12 2- Trees to be planted on both sides of the roads used for transported vehicle 3- Silencers to be provided to modulate the noise generated by machines 4- Provision of protective devices like ear muffs/ ear plugs 5- Provision of sound proof cabins for operation workers deployed on machines producing higher levels of noise 6- Reducing the exposure time of workers to the higher noise level Vibration Levels: There is no pollution due to ground vibration because there is no blasting activities Water regime There is no any stream or nalas or reservoir in the lease area as such no adverse impact. The water regime of buffer zone will not be affected due to simple and small extent of mining. Due to mining quality of water will not be affected adversely. Socio- economic study: Socio economic study of the area given an opportunity to assess the socio economic conditions of an area and the changes likely to occur in living and social standards of the area due to the existence of medium scale operations in mine. It can be undoubtedly said that due to operations of mine, the gross economics production of the area has substantially increased. The mining operations have proved direct and indirect employment and improved infrastructure facilities and standard of living in the area. Historical monuments: There is no public building place and monuments of historical importance in the lease area. The public building in buffer zone will not be affected due to small extent of mining 12

13 ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN Temporary storage & utilization of top soil: No soil is available in the lease area & as such is not applicable Year will be proposal for reclamation of land affected by the mining activities during first five years No backfilling has been proposed during the ensuring mining plan period of ten years. In case of abandoned quarries / pits are proposed to be used as reservoir their size water holding capacity & proposal for utilization of such water. No applicable Program of afforestation : Year No. of trees Area m2 Survival rate % % % % 1- The species of Babool, Palas, Lentena, Ukliptus, Subabool, Mango trees have been proposed to be planted watering arrangement during dry season will be provided as for as practicable. 13

14 Stabilization and vegetation of dumps along with waste dump management: The waste will be dumped outside the lease area. Company has produced waste land for accumulation of waste material. Retaining wall of boulders having width and height 1.0m shall be provided at the base of dump for its stabilization. In addition to this fast growing local species shall be planted for its stabilization. The dumps will be stabilized with fast growing grasses and various mulches and shrubs. The sides will be slopped to 36 degree. Measures to control erosion/ sedimentation of water courses: In order to control the erosion/ sedimentation of agricultural land drain will be provided around the dump. However there is o surface within the core zone or in nearby buffer zone. Treatment and disposal by water from the mine: There will be no pumping in the min. The mining will be done much above the ground water table. There will be no water logging in the pits as the proposed working site is on the top of mound. Measures for minimizing adverse effects on water regime: Surface water will not be affected because there is no nala or tank or reservoir in the lease area. Ground water regime will be affected in view of mining proposed much above the ground water table Protective measure for ground vibration / air blast caused by blasting Not applicable 14

15 Measure for protecting historical and for rehabilitation of human settlements likely to be disturbed due to mining activity There is no historical monument or any human settlement in the applied area. Hence question of rehabilitation and protection does not arise Socio- economic benefits arising out of mining: The region is basically backward poor area. Main economic activity is agriculture. Severe unemployment problem exists. Literacy rate is low. The mining will generate new employment opportunity which will have beneficial impact transportation facility and awareness in the region will improve considerably Any other relevant information Compliance of safety rules and regulations whether there are any serious violations of safety rules and regulation which may jeopardize human health and safety No If, so give details of the violation and state this steps proposed to be taken up with schedule to rectify the violations Not applicable 15
