Due to mining activities This there will be slight changes in topographical features because proposed mining confined to river bed only. other area disturbed. Proposed mine is a part of river bed with sand reaches. Sand/Morrum mining will be done up to a restricted depth in river bed or as per approved Mining Plan. The activity will take place on the river bed. The excavated sand/morrum from mine lease area will be naturally replenished with the flow of water. Mining will be restricted to the allotted area only keeping the shores unaffected, thus does not involve any change in existing topography or land use. The area is non forest waste land, not covered with any vegetation. 1.3 Creation of new land uses? LOI is issued dated 27/01/2018 vide letter no. 843/Khanij-MMC-30(E-tender/2018).

Water sprinkling will be done on haulage roads for suppression of dust which will be generated by vehicular movement. t applicable 8. Risk of accidents during construction or operation of the Project, which could affect human health or the environment 8.1 From explosions, spillages, fires etc from storage, handling, use or production of hazardous substances / 8.2 From any other causes t applicable 8.3 Could the project be affected by natural disasters causing environmental damage (e.g. floods, earthquakes, landslides, cloudburst etc)? storage is proposed at site, material will directly transported to the market. The proposed mining area is a slightly undulated, river bed land which falls in seismic zone II, where chances of severe earth quakes are very low. In order to further safeguard the disasters described under the column, mining activities will be carried out in the day time and in the lean period (dry season) only. 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 / F1-9

Also the laborers will be hired locally thus no permanent or temporary housing is required at site. Since it is an open cast excavation, arrival of monsoon every year will replenish the excavated site. Hence there will be no change in land use pattern. t applicable The project will cause positive, long term impact.
