Working (Rule 13) Additional exploration was not proposed. Not applicable. Additional exploration was not carried out. Additional exploration was not carried out. 12 Bore Holes are proposed during a.number and size of each pit (LxWxH) b.bench size(lxwxh)length can be defined as regular/irregular c.ore to waste ratio pit wise if possible otherwise for mine d.total area covered under excavation/pits C. Waste disposal (Rule 13) Scattered working at four different pits/locations was proposed in Pit-1, 2, 3 and float ore by advancing western face of Pit-1, northeastern face of pit-2 and SE face of Pit-2 & north face of. Regular two benches of 6m height are proposed in all the pits. Waste generation is not there. Every year more than 3ha for insitu bauxite and 8ha for float ore mining was proposed. Bauxite deposit is 6-7m on platue. Mining operations are with deephole drilling & blasting, hydraulic excavators and mechanical screens. Float ore mining not started. There is one bench in all the pits. Advancement on western face in Pit-1 is more than planned, negligible advancement in Pit-2 & Pit-3 and a separate Pit-4 is developed towards NE side of Pit- 3. Pit-1 is of 350m X 150m X 5-7m, pit-2 of 420m X 85m X 7-8m, Pit-3 of 375m X 140m X 6m and Pit-4 of 130m X 75m X 5m. There is one-two benches in Pit-1, 2 & 3. Pit-4 is having one bench of 5-6m height. Top layer is aluminuous laterite, which is cherry red. The bauxite is comparative light in colour. Waste generation is not there. Float ore mining not started so far. Area covered under four different pits is 16.25ha. There is no possibility of 60m advancement on eastern face of Pit-2 for insitu bauxite mining as proposaed during to Maximum 10-15m advancement on eastern face of Pit-2 is possible. a.location of dumps e.yearly generation of waste quantity. Not applicable. Not applicable. Waste generation Waste generation is not was not there. However, anticipated. generation of 27000t subgrade mineral from ROM and salable 50000t Page 4 of 10

6 6 6. Conservation of Mineral - both quantitative and qualitative Beneficiation (Rule 20 and 26) Efforts for improving low grade and sub grade mineral. Efforts for improving percentage of recovery of ore. Minearl Rule 15 Percentage of recovery of ore pitwise w.r.t. ROM and total material Number of benches in ore and waste. Sub/grd mineral/fines (Rule16) Total ROM is Low grade bauxite and sold to cement plants through traders. Sub-grade generation is not there. Recovery is satisfactory, as it is more than 95%. Old stacks needs rehandling for salable mineral. Waste generation is nil and recovery is almost 100% from platue area. It is low cement grade bauxite. There are one to two benches in all the pits. Avg. Ht. of Bench in mineral is m. with Avg. Width of 5-10m. Qty of yearly generation and total qty available during inspection with grade Number and size of each stack Location of stacking. Separate stacking from waste Total area covered for stacking ROM handling of t was planned, but total production of t was achieved from ROM by excess handling and therefore violation was issued. Further, planning of recovery of 50000t from old stacks and 1,00,000t from float ore is not complied during the year. Three Stacks of 160m X 60m X 10m, 80m X 30m X 8-10m and 50m X 25m X 5-8m Mineral is feed to crusher & screen plants within pit. from where it is dispatched. Yes, ROM material is directly feed in crusher & screen plant for grade wise separation. It was proposed to recover 50000t salable mineral every year from old stacks lying near crusher plant. However it is not handled for recovery of mineral. Old stacks are over 4.36ha area.

Vegetation h. Public building, places and monuments (protected, historical), placec of worship and places of tourist B Water environment. a. Surface water b. Ground water c. Quality of water C. Air environment a. Noise b. Air c. Climatic condition D. Socio economic environment RL Minimum - 815m., Maximum - 985m. The Lease area is undulating in topography and mining of bauxite is carried out on plateau. Lease area is on high altitude compared to surrounding area. Platue is having barren land, whereas sloping part is having dense afforestation within lease area. Top of plateau is having laterite capping which is acting as topsoil for plantation on slope of hillock. Area under pits is around 16.25ha. The Lease area is mostly having shrubs. No agricultural area within lease. Rice, groundnut, Mango are agricultural crops cultivated in surrounding areas. The area is Private non-forest Land. Natural vegetation in the form of shrubs is there in lease area. Surrounding area occupied by vegetation like Mango, Tamarind, Bawne. There is no Public building, places and monuments (protected, historical), placec of worship and places of tourist within lease area and its buffer zone. Bauxite mining operation does not dispose off any effluent in the watercourses. The area receives normal mm rainfall & it is hilly terrain. Water is potable. The bauxite mining operations are confined to 5 to 8m from surface. The bauxite mining operations on the plateau does not have adverse impact on ground water. There are no any effluents generated from Mining Operations. Water is naturally flowing in nalah, although land degradation is causing errosion and washouts during monsoon. Mining operations are with excavators and jaw crusher with screen is used for separation of different grades of material. Noise level is within permissible limit, as no habitants are there within buffer zone. It is being monitored and reported within limit. Continuous air quality monitoring is carried out, proper maintenance of road is there for transportation of minerals from working pits to adjoining state highway road. Efforts are made to suppress the dust by water sprinkling on the haul roads and covering the trucks with tarpaulin. The area receives heavy rainfall with yearly average varying from 2500mm to 3000mm. The max temp in summer reaches to 38 degree celsius and min temp in winter falling to 10 to 15 degree celsius. Page 7 of 10

8 8 a. Social and demographic profile. b. Recommending health and safety. c. Human settlement d. Recreational facility. There are about six to seven villages within buffer zone. The main occupation in these villagers is agriculure along with animal rearing. Moderate amount of dust generated is being suppressed by water sprinkling by water tankers. Bauxite does not contain any toxic elements. Hence the possibility of any health hazards is minimum. Hospital and clinics are available at Bhudargadh, which is about 20km from the mine. There is No Human Settlement in Lease area. There are about six to seven villages within buffer zone the population of which varies from 500 to There is rest shelter, canteen, toilets constructed for mine officials in the mine. Peoples are residing in nearby villages and Bhudargarh. Cable TV is available every where now a days and this is kind of recreation to local villagers. 7.1 Comments on the steps taken by the lessee towards maintaining environment and monitoring of environmental parameters to ensure the qualitative improvement in the environment and ecology.
