1 Reclamation of Mines and Mine-spoils K.D. Sharma Head Technical and R & D Greenfield Eco Solutions Pvt Ltd (GESPL) Mid Career Training Program for IFS Officers, 2013 IGNFA, Dehradun

2 Mining Leases in India Total area under mining leases in India is about 1 million ha. Out of this about 0.4 million ha area is under coal mines. This does not include individual leases under 10 ha area each.

3 Area-wise Distribution of Mining Leases* Frequency group area (ha) (Indian Bureau of Mines, Nagpur, 2010) # of mining leases % of leases Area ( 000 ha) All groups * Excluding fuel, atomic and minor minerals % of area

4 Denudation of Forest Cover Uneven Topography Depletion of Water Resources and Altered Water Quality / Contamination Well-being of Society Deleterious Impacts on Human and Livestock Health Waste / Spoil Piles Air, Noise and Water Pollution Impact of Mines and Mine-spoils and Environmental Damages

5 Hypothesis of Reclamation Conducting post-mining soil and mine-spoil inventories define the establishment of ecosystem stability. Understanding successful germ-plasm selection; characterizing physical and chemical properties of soil, mine-spoils and overburden; conserving and maximizing soil moisture storage through rainwater harvesting; and evaluating plant community sustainability are important.

6 Criteria for Evaluating Mine-land Reclamation Stabilization of surface materials through appropriate landscape reconstruction, and Establishment of long-term, sustainable vegetation communities. In general, a silvi-pastoral system is being designed for reclamation as it complements the needs of local population.

7 What is Required? Consultancy Advice and Guidance Planning Implementation and Execution Reclamation, Rehabilitation, Remediation and Restoration Projects on a TURN KEY BASIS Observation Evaluation Development Monitoring

8 Case Study 1: Reclamation of Lignite Mine-spoil Location: Giral Village, Barmer, Rajasthan Rainfall: 265 mm per year Type of Mining: Opencast Water Harvesting: MCWHS Amendments: Fine Sand, Caliche and FYM Plant Species: Indigenous, Naturalized and Exotic Leguminous and Indigenous Nonleguminous (15 species)

9 Coal/Lignite Mining (Giral,Rajasthan) Before Reclamation After Reclamation

10 Case Study 2: Reclamation of Limestone Mine-spoil Location: Gotan Village, Nagore, Rajasthan Rainfall: 424 mm per year Type of Mining: Opencast Water Harvesting: BTRHS Amendments: Bentonite, Fine Sand and FYM Plant Species: Indigenous, Naturalized and Exotic Leguminous and Indigenous Nonleguminous (19 species)

11 Limestone Mine Spoil: After Reclamation (JK White, Gotan, Rajasthan)

12 Case Study 3: Reclamation of Gypsum Mine-spoil Location: Kavas Village, Barmer, Rajasthan Rainfall: 265 mm per year Type of Mining: Strip Water Harvesting: MCWHS Amendments: Fine Sand & FYM in Auger Holes Plant Species: Indigenous, Naturalized and Exotic Leguminous and Indigenous Nonleguminous (23 species)

13 Gypsum Mine Spoil: After Reclamation (FCI, Kavas, Rajasthan)

14 Micro-catchment Rainwater Harvesting System (MCWHS) for Backfills (A variant of MCRHS is Ridge-Furrow System)

15 Bench Terracing Rainwater Harvesting System (BTRHS) for OB Dumps (A variant of BTRHS is Half Moon Terracing)

16 Soil Moisture Storage (% volume)* Mine-spoil With RWH Without RWH Lignite/Coal Limestone Gypsum * Monthly mean of 4 years ( )

17 Iron Ore Mining (Advalpal, Goa) Before Reclamation After Reclamation
