16 spillage of hazardous materials involve handling, storage and use of hazardous materials. Oiling and lubrication of hauling vehicles will be done by using oil tray to prevent spillage on soil. Occasional blasting will be carried out. Vehicles and machinery will be well maintained to prevent leakage of oil. 7.2 From discharge of sewage or other effluents to water or the There is no risk of contamination of land or water. land (expected mode and place of discharge) 7.3 By deposition of pollutants emitted to air into the land or into water Dust generated during the mining process, loading and transportation may cause impact on the air but the measures followed will control the air pollutions. 7.4 From any other sources other sources are there. 7.5 Is there a risk of long term build - up of pollutants in the environment from these sources 8. Risk of accidents during construction or operation of the Project, which could affect human health or the environment S.. Information/Checklist confirmation Yes/ Details thereof (with approximate quantities /rates, wherever possible) with source of information data 8.1 From explosions, spillages, fires Yes Very occasionally blasting will be etc from storage, handling, use or production of hazardous substances done for loosen of hard rock. Explosives will be handled with utmost care in compliance to rules 15

17 and regulations and as per provisions of MMR1961. Precautionary measures taken shall be by using the sand bags over the blast for the protection and on drill hole to control the fly rock. 8.2 From any other causes Yes Accidents by transport vehicles due to negligence and/or ignoring the safety aspects. Accidents during mining caused due to negligence of workers or bad mining practice. loose stone or debris will be allowed to remain near the edges of excavation and along the sides of road. However, to deal the minor incidences and accidents, first aid measures at site will be provided. 8.3 Could the project be affected by The project is located in the Seismic natural disaster causing Zone II. There has been no flood, environmental damage (e.g. cloudbursts and landslide reported so floods, earthquake, landslides, far. cloudburst etc)? 9. Factors which should be considered (such as consequential development) which could lead to environmental effects or the potential for cumulative impacts with other existing or planned activities in the locality S.. Information/Checklist confirmation Yes/ Details thereof (with approximate quantities /rates, wherever possible) with source of information data 16

18 9.1 Lead to development of supporting. Cities, ancillary development or development stimulated by the project which could have impact on the environment *Supporting infrastructure (roads, power supply, waste or waste water treatment, etc) * Housing development * Extractive industries * Supply industries * Other 9.2 Lead to after use of the site, which could have an impact on the environment 9.3 Set a precedent for later developments 9.4 Have cumulative effects due to proximity to other existing or planned projects with similar effects The project will improve the socioeconomic status of villages around the mine area. The project will also benefit the local people by generating the employment. Improvement in educational facilities. Provision of Health facilities will be implied. Conditions of the nearby village Roads will be improved. The lease area is located in the remote area with very little vegetation. The after use of site planned would be better than the present, owing to existing & proposed green belt development in lease area. A better after use scenario with increase in greenery. major industries except few mines of mineral masonry stone and other minerals are located in the 10 km area. Thus there is likelihood of cumulative effect due to the transportation of masonry stone. A better planned and executed project has to yield a better result individually; which in turn has to give better cumulative effect also. 17
