5 Google Image of the mining area: As the proposed quarry is a Sand Auction Quarry and mining will be done by manual method, so there will be no adverse impact in any manner due to mining activity. Further for the safety purpose a code of traffic is proposed to be maintained strictly and supervisors will be appointed to control the traffic if passing from the populated area. Transportation from the densely populated area will be avoided. 3. DETAILS OF MACHINE TO BE USED IN MINING OPERATION The mining method will be done by opencast manual method and tractor trolley, Fawda and Tasla will be used.

6 4. DETAILS OF MEASUREMENT OF QUARRY PIT EARLIER EXCAVATION IN THE AREA TO BE SANCTIONED AND DETAILS OF MINERAL CONCESSIONS SITUATED WITHIN 100 METER PERIPHERY OF THIS AREA In sand quarry no pit will be visible after the rainy season hence measurement of dimension is not possible. Up to the 100 meters the area forms a plain topography with minor undulations of waste land form. 5. SCHEME OF TREE PLANTATION Plantation is proposed at the river banks to prevent the river bank erosion and it is also recommended to lessee for plantation both side of the approach road with tree guard as required. The Lessee will plant 120 local species per year. The tree species recommended are Tactona grandis (Teak), Azadirachta indica (Neem), Mangifera indica (Aam), Acacia Catechu (Khair), Emblica officinalis (Amla), Mahunca Latitolia (Mahua). The pit will dug approx. 90cm X 90 cm and filled with complete organic manure for 50 days. Mortalities should be replaced by fresh saplings. Post Plantation Care: Following precaution to be undertaken for the survival of the plants: The saplings will be undertaken for the survival of the plants. Healthy tree species will be recommends for plantation. Every sapling will be covered by a tree guard to avoid damage through cattle grazing. Necessary arrangement will be provided for watering tree species planted in different parts. 6. DETAILS AND APPROXIMATE DISTANCE OF NATIONAL PARK, SANCTUARY, BIODIVERSITY AREA, INTERSTATE BOUNDARY SITUATED WITHIN PERIPHERY OF 10 KM. FROM THE AREA TO BE SANCTIONED Proposed project does not located in whole or in part within 10 km. from the boundary of: (Protected areas notified under the Wild Life (Protection) Act, : No National Park : No Critically polluted areas as notified by the Central Pollution Control Board from time to time : No Notified Eco-sensitive areas : No Inter-state boundaries and international boundaries: No.

7 7. PROPOSED ANNUAL PRODUCTION OF MINERAL The yearly proposed production of the quarry is m3. 8. EFFECT ON GROUND WATER LEVEL DUE TO MINING OPERATION AND ITS PREVENTIVE MEASURES The annual deposition of the sand during flooding is natural phenomenon and sand is excavated for the fresh deposition only. The sand mining activity is carried out during the dry season when there is no water in the river bed. Hence, water quality impacts are not anticipated. The mining at 2 m depth will not intercept the groundwater table hence no impact on groundwater table is anticipated. (i) Ground Water: The ground water is available below 5 to 10 meters of the surface level and available in nearby well, bore well etc. As the proposed working will be above ground water table, so there will be no effect on the ground water. At the same time as per rule the pit depth will not go beyond 2 mts. depth or the groundwater limit cross then mining will be stopped. (ii) Water quality: The ground water available in the nearby well, bore-well etc. is of potable in nature and no adverse effect has been noticed in the past due to human consumption and in future also there will not be any change in quality due to future mining activity. 9. DETAILS OF SCHEME OF CONTINUOUS RECLAMATION AND REHABILITATION OF THE LAND DEGRADATION DUE TO MINING OPERATION Environmental Management Plan is being made by considering implementation and monitoring the protection measure during and after the mining operation. (i) Proposal for Reclamation of land affected by mining activitiesduring and at the end of mining: Reclamation of mined out area is the most important activity of. Since every year after the rainy season the pit will be filled once again with sand, so reclamation of land is not needed. (ii) Dust Suppression: The points of dust generation are:

8 i) Loading of sand ii) Haulage of sand. Dust suppression of these points will be ensured by a) Sprinkling with water. b) Sand will be covered by tarpaulins to prevent spread of dust from it during transportation. c) Regular maintenance of vehicles and machineries will be carried out in order to control emissions. d) Dust generated due to traffic on haul roads would be reduced by water spraying at regular intervals; e) Green belt development would be taken up all along the haul roads and overburden dumps. (iii) Measures to minimize vibrations due to blasting and check noise pollution: Sand mining does not require any kind of blasting. Hence no noise pollution will be generated from this work. (iv) Stabilization and vegetation of dump: No waste material will be generated. (v) Treatment and disposal of water from mine and beneficiation plan: No waste water will be generated. (vi) Measures for minimizing adverse effects on the water regime: The surface mining at 3 m depth is not going to intercept the groundwater table hence no impact on groundwater table is anticipated. (vii) Afforestation of tailing ponds: No Pond will be generated because in the next rainy season the pit will again filled with sand.

9 (viii) Afforestation Program: The afforestation is an effective measure to restore the environment and ecological balance in the area affected by mining. Afforestation program will be carried out along the mining boundaries. (viii) Preparation of dumping ground for stacking toxic mineral substance: No toxic mineral will be produced. (x) Environment monitoring Cell: The proposed mining operation is very small in nature and it is not possible to set up an environment cell. (xi) Socio-economic Benefits arising out of Mining: With the increase in mining activity over the last ten years in the mining belt, there has been a considerable change in the socio-economic status of the people around the mining zone. The following facts come after the survey of the area: a) Direct and indirect employment has been provided. b) More people have started opting for mining as a profession and migration to towns in search of employment has been reduced. c) Public transport system has improved tremendously. d) Living standard has improved and most of the people using the modern life gadgets like TV, refrigerator, telephones, cars etc. e) In addition to the benefits to the local habitat mining has also contributed to the growth of govt. economic by way of royalty, sales tax, road tax, income tax, committee tax etc. 10. DETAILS OF PREVENTIVE AND CONTROL SCHEME OF AIR AND WATER POLLUTION Negligible air pollution will be created and no water pollution will be happened as this mine will be above the ground water table and also not in the running water. (i) Water Environment : There is no source of water within the lease area nor is any water likely to be encountered while carrying out mining operations. The only source of water is

10 rainwater, which will flow downhill through natural water channels. Thus mining activities will not have any adverse effect on surface or subsurface water sources. (ii) Air Environment : (a) Noise: The proposed method of mining is almost manual in nature. The noise level may not exceed the level of 75 db. (b) Air: The proposed mining operation is almost manual in nature, so there will not be any deployment of large machinery or blasting which will create dust or air pollution. The points of dust generation are: i) Loading of sand ii) Haulage of sand. Dust suppression of these points will be ensured by a) Sprinkling with water. b) Sand will be covered by tarpaulins to prevent spread of dust from it during transportation. c) Regular maintenance of vehicles and machineries will be carried out in order to control emissions. d) Dust generated due to traffic on haul roads would be reduced by water spraying at regular intervals; e) Green belt development would be taken up all along the haul roads and overburden dumps. (c) Climatic Condition: The climatic condition of the area is sub - tropical with 1200 mm average rain fall, so it will not help any pollution making activities. The area involved in the proposed mining operation is too small compared to the regional extent; therefore, there will be hardly any impact on climate.

11 11. PROVISIONS FOR SEPARATE STACKING OF SURFACE SOIL EXCAVATED FROM MINING OPERATION AND IT S UTILITY It is a sand quarry. No separate stacking of soil and mineral rejects are required. 12. DETAILS OF SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC UP GRADATION OF MINING EFFECTED AREA DUE TO PROPOSED PROJECT Socio-economic Environment: (i) Socio-demographic profile: The local inhabitant is predominantly dependent on agriculture for their livelihood. The mining operation will provide employment for the local people. It will improve the living condition of the poor people. The mining will give positive impact on socio economic life of the people. (ii) Occupational Health and Safety: The health and safety of the workers will be the main priority and responsibility of the proponent. Safety measures will be provided to the workers. (iii) Human Settlement: Due to this proposed mining activities, possibility of migration of labor will be reduced from the surrounding areas. For this reason there will be increase in human settlement of the area. Due to increased revenue earning in the area there will be development of infrastructure facilities such as transport, road, housing, schooling as well as hospital etc. (iv) Recreation Facilities: Due to improved earning there will be improvement in entertainment facilities and marketing facilities. (v) Impact of Mining and Beneficiation on environment: Mining operation is small in nature and open cast method does not effect on the environment on remarkable scale.
