4 INTRODUCTION

5 Environmental Monitoring October 2011-March INTRODUCTION (EMIL), a company of Aditya Birla Group is operating KASIA IRON AND DOLOMITE MINES (KIDM) spreading over an area of ha at Kasia Village, Barbil Tehsil, Champua Sub Division, Keonjhar District, Odisha (EMIL) as part of statutory requirement is monitoring various environmental parameters in an around the Kasia Iron And Dolomite Mine on continuous basis. EMIL has retained M/s B S Environment Consultants Pvt Ltd. to carry out the Environmental monitoring in and around the Mine. This report presents the Half Yearly Environmental monitoring data for the period October, 2011 March, LOCATION OF THE MINE The Kasia Iron and Dolomite Mines is located near Kasia, Barbil Tehsil, Champua Subdivision, Keonjhar district in Odisha. Fig 1 shows the Location Map of the mine. The mining lease area is bounded by latitude N and longitude E and figures in the Survey of India Toposheet 73 F/8. The highest altitude is 612 m above MSL and the lowest altitude is 486 m above MSL. With high quality iron ore present in abundance in the surrounding areas, many mines are located in the adjacent hills and the largest amongst them are the SAIL Bolani mines lying about 5 km to the north-west and the Thakurani Mines lying 6 km to the north east of the mine. Additionally, the mining industry has provided fillip to a range of subsidiary industries like iron ore crushing and sponge iron units in the neighborhood areas The Kasia Iron and Dolomite Mine is bounded by the following: 1

6 Environmental Monitoring October 2011-March North: On the northern fringes of the mining lease, there is a open scrub jungle beyond which lies the village of Barpada. East: To the east of the mine site are located the villages of Kasia and Serenda. A seasonal nala runs about 500 m east of the mine site from the South to North direction before meeting the Karo River near Barbil. South: The southern side of the mine site is partially covered and bounded by the Siddhamath Reserve Forest. Beyond this, about 1 km to south, the NH 215 passes by the mine site roughly in the south-east direction. West: Forest tracts of the Siddhamath Reserve Forest bound the mining lease area on the western side. Two villages, Shankarjhor and Lotapani are present within the forest, about 3 km to the west of the mine site. The area falls within the watershed of the Karo River, which flows by within 4 km to the North-west of the mining lease. Fig 2 shows the Key Map of the mine. The nearest cities to the mine are the steel cities of Rourkela and Jamshedpur located at a distance of 135 km and 170 km respectively. The district town of Keonjhar is located 80 km to the South accessible by National Highway 215, which runs from the mine area at about 1 km south. The mining town of Barbil is located about 9 km away. The nearest railway station is located at Barbil, which is 9 km away and is connected to the metropolis of Kolkata by a South Eastern railway line. Barbil Howrah Rail Line is located 2.5 Km from the North -Western Boundary of ML Area 2
