The Mitigatory measures for the above anticipated polluters will be as discussed under the EMP of the EIA report of the project Mining process involves drilling, blasting, excavation, material handling, transportation and storage which will give rise to dust generation. Adequate control measures will be adopted for the prevention and control. The said emissions are already discussed as above under 5.1. Dust and vehicular emission For dust pollution proposed Mitigatory measures will looked into EMP of the draft EIA report of the project. Since, no labor camps are proposed therefore the generation of odour caused by municipal waste will be only feable and insignificant. t envisaged t envisaged 5.8 Emissions from any other sources t envisaged 6.

Page 11

12 6.2 From industrial or similar processes t envisaged 6.3 From construction or demolition t envisaged 6.4 From blasting or piling The project involves drilling and blasting, which may cause the said pollution however mitigatory measures will be taken to minimize the impact under EMP. 6.5 From construction or operational traffic, construction is proposed. Only vehicular movement for transportation of mining material from site may generate noise. The mitigatory measures will be taken care of to minimize the impact under EMP EIA report. 6.6 From lighting or cooling systems From any other sources D.G Set is also a major contributor of noise and vibration.
