Specific Conditions:- i) Mining shall be carried out as per statuette at a safe distance from the seasonal nallah/stream flowing within the lease boundary. ii) iii) iv) An embankment of 3 m height shall be constructed along the bank of the stream/ nallah. The slope of the embankment shall be at least 2:1 towards the ML. The height of the embankment shall be at least 5 m higher than the HFL of the stream/ nallah. Top soil shall be stacked properly with proper slope at earmarked site(s) and should not be kept active and shall be used for reclamation and development of green belt. OB should be stacked at earmarked one external OB dumpsite within ML area only for the first 6 years of mining operation. Mining is being carried out keeping safe distance from seasonal nallah/ stream. Embankment has been constructed along the nallah so that no rain water enters into the mine. Photo has been provided in Annexure-I. Top soil stacked separately as per approved mining Plan. Photo has been provided in Annexure-I. Overburden (OB) is being stacked at earmarked external dump.

3 vi) vii) viii) ix) should be constructed to arrest silt and sediments flow from soil, OB, and mineral dumps. The water so collected should be utilized for watering the mine area, roads, green belt development etc. The drains should be regularly desilted and maintained properly. Garland drains (size, gradient and length) and sump capacity should be designed keeping 50% safety margin over and above the peak sudden rainfall and maximum discharge in the area adjoining the mine site. Sump capacity should also provide adequate retention period to allow proper settling of silt material. Dimension of retaining wall at the toe of the dumps and OB benches within the mine to check the runoff and siltation should be based on the rainfall data. High efficiency bag filters/water sprinkling system should be provided to check fugitive emission from lignite handling Plant, crushing operations, conveyors system, haulage roads, transfer points etc. Mining shall not involve drilling and blasting operations. The total area brought under afforestion at the end of mine life (post mining land use) shall be not less than ha and shall include reclaimed external OB dump (104.69ha), reclaimed quarry area ( ha), green belt including plantation along ML boundary (200 ha), roads (4 ha), dismantled and reclaimed infrastructure area (36ha) and vacant /undisturbed area ( ha) by planting native species in consultation with the local DFO/ Agriculture Department. Density of the trees should be around 2000 plants /ha. x) Backfilling shall begin from 6 th years of mining operations. A progressive mine closure plan shall be implemented from the 6 th years of mining operations and the OB generated shall be concurrently backfilled covering a total area of ha. Plantation shall be developed over the backfilled area and the balance of excavated area (void) covering an area of ha shall be used as a water reservoir, the higher benches of which shall catch drains along the mining dump area has been created. The drains are being maintained properly. Retention wall has been created at toe of dump and Overburden (OB) benches to check run off and siltation. Water sprinkling is being done to control fugitive emissions from haulage roads. Fixed water sprinklers have been installed to check fugitive emission from crushing operations & conveyors belts & transfer points. Photo has been provided in Annexure-I. There is no drilling and blasting involved in the mining operations. Plantation has been carried out along the periphery of the Overburden, Clay and Top soil dumps and along both sides of the road. Since the climatic conditions (arid climate with very less rainfall) are not conducive for plantation. The greenbelt plantation in mine lease area is 93.7 hectare in which nos. (Trees: nos. & Shrubs: nos.) plantation has been carried out till However our mined out area is hectare till hence the percentage (%) of existing greenbelt is 51.9% w.r.t. mined out area. Photographs of the plantation are attached as Annexure-III. Back filling have started and other compliances will be complied as suggested and as per approved mine plan.

4 xi) be gently sloped. The project authorities shall provide for grazing, if required in the reclaimed land /quarry area in the consultation with the local villagers. xii) No groundwater shall be used for mining operations. Prior approval of the competent authority such as the SGWB/CGWA shall be obtained for using ground water for the project. xiii) Regular monitoring of ground water level and quality should be carried out by establishing a network of existing wells and construction of new peizometers. The monitoring for quantity should be done four times a year in the pre-monsoon (May), Monsoon (August), Post monsoon (November) and winter (January) seasons and for quality in May. Data thus collected should be submitted to the MoEF and to the CPCB quarterly within one month of monitoring. Presently the mine is in operation stage and hence after reclamation provision for grazing will be made in consultation with local villagers. No Ground water is being used for mining operations. Water/ treated waste water from Power plant are being used. At present no groundwater has been intercepted as mining depth is 90 m only. The Ground water level is 100 m below ground level (bgl). Monitoring will be carried out after intercepting the groundwater in the Mine. Monitored groundwater quality report from nearby areas is attached as Annexure-IVA, IVB and IVC. xiv) xv) xvi) The company shall put up artificial ground water recharge measures for augmentation of ground water resource. The project authorities should meet water requirement of nearby village in case the village wells go dry due to dewatering of mine ETP should also be provided for workshop and CHP wastewater. Digital processing of entire lease area using remote sensing technique should be done regularly once 3 years for monitoring land use pattern and report submitted to MoEF and its regional office at Baseline ground water quality from nearby areas is saline in nature and also current ground water monitoring shows Total dissolved solids in the range of mg/l and hardness (as CaCO3) is in the range of mg/l respectively. Hence mining activity has not affected the ground water quality. Presently dewatering of mine in not being done and hence no effect on village wells. Existing wells present in mine lease area are being protected and maintained for ground water recharging. Treated waste water from power plant is sprayed through fixed sprinklers to control fugitive emission from different points in CHP. The mining machineries and vehicles deployed are new and under warranty. The same are being sent to Local dealer for maintenance purpose. There is no work shop for vehicles, hence ETP is not applicable. The report prepared by M/s.
