SCHEME FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR VILLAGE TEHSIL DISTRICT AREA MINERAL : Parsen : Gwalior : Gwalior (M.P.) : 3.345 Hectare : Stone KHASRA No : 4154 PRODUCTION CAP : 50,000 Cu.mt/year (avg.) 1. INTRODUCTION Nature is very kind on the human to provide all kind of materials on earth. All kinds of minerals are available in their raw form in the earth. Mining operations disturb the terrestrial configuration and natural beauty of the area. The magnitude of disturbance depends upon how the minerals are extracted from the mining area and the environmental impact depends upon the location and size of deposits and the methods adopted for its exploration. By adopting good mining practices it is moving towards harmonious development where both the operational and environmental aspects are accorded due weightage. Every quarry lease holder shall take all possible precautions for the protection of environment and control of pollution while conducting quarry operation. Under the mining operation the this management plan is required. The mining plan has been approved by Directorate of Geology & Mining Regional Office Gwalior vide letter no. 1126 on dtd. 19-09-2017. The lease has been sanctioned from Directorate of Geology & Mining Bhopal vide letter No. 18269/Khanij/2017, dated-29/09/2017. Page 3 of 16

DETAILS OF MACHINE TO BE USED IN MINING OPERATION: Proposed Mining/excavation will be done according to the proposed manner of Manual, Dumpers, Tractor & Water Tank, Jack, Hammer, Wagon Drill will be required to deploy on hire basis for transport purpose. Details given in Mining Plan. 5. DETAILS OF MEASUREMENT OF QUARRY PIT EARLIER EXCAVATION IN THE AREA TO BE SANCTIONED AND DETAILS OF MINERAL CONCESSIONS SITUATED WITHIN 100 METER PERIPHERY OF THIS AREA Page 7 of 16
No seasonal perennial drainage exists within the lease area No pit was excavated in the past since this is new lease quarry. The area in surroundings up to 100meters forms a plain topography with miner undulations of waste land form. 6.. SCHEME OF TREE PLANTATION: Main objective of green belt is to provide a barrier between the source of pollution and the surrounding areas. Green belt helps to capture the fugitive emission and to attenuate the noise generated apart from improving the aesthetics. While making choice of plant species for cultivation in green belts priority is to be given to create bio climate. The authorities responsible for making green belt must ensure proper selection of plant species and adequate provision of watering and protection of saplings exist at site. Healthy tree species will be recommends for plantation. Each plant must cover 3.0 x 3.0 meter and its 80 % survival should be achieved Suitable Mali will take care of survival conditions. The lease area is marked by large exposure of barren land. The lease area is rocky terrain so it is only feasible to undertake the plantation with in lease hold area under 7.5 m barrier after spreading top soil over the strip plantation shall also be undertaken over complete benches. 150 no. trees will be planted per year. The tree species recommended are Tactonagrandis (Teak), Azadirachtaindica (Neem), Mangiferaindica (Aam), Acacia Catechu (Khair), Emblicaofficinalis (Amla), MahuncaLatitolia (Mahua), planting should be done in large sized 90 cm x 90 cm. pits dug in advance and filled with manure about 50 days before planting. The plantation raised earlier should be carefully maintained. Mortalities should be replaced by fresh saplings. Page 8 of 16
Post Plantation Care: Green belt area must be guarded by suitable fencing to avoid damage by cattle grazing.

PROPOSED ANNUAL PRODUCTION OF MINERAL -The yearly production from the quarry is proposed Crusher Stone is 50,000 Cu.mt/year (Avg.) with manual and Semi Mechanical opencast mining system. -Entire details are given in the mining plan. 9. EFFECT ON GROUND WATER LEVEL DUE TO MINING OPERATION AND ITS PREVENTIVE MEASURES: It is a surface mining up to the depth of 30 meters Mining will not be done below the water table. Mining will be done in non- monsoon period. There is no perennial water body in the area. Therefore mining activities will not cause adverse impacts as the mineral is non toxic in nature. Lease area is fairly flat reducing the possibility of soil erosion. Garland drain will be properly channelized so that the rain water and wash offs goes into in sedimentation ponds. As the manpower likely to be deployed from nearby village, therefore discharge of domestic waste water is not much and will be easily controlled with the provision of septic tank and soak pit. The stored water will be used for dust suppression and greenbelt development, etc. The pit exposed due to mining will become a source for catchment of rain water and in future it will be helpful to improve the water table of the area.

10. DETAILS OF SCHEME OF CONTINUOUS RECLAMATION AND REHABILITATION OF THE LAND DEGRADATION DUE TO MINING OPERATION: Land degradation is one of the major adverse impacts of open cast mining activities and any effort to control adverse impacts would be incomplete without appropriate land reclamation strategy. It is a mining below five hectares lease area, which is very small in nature therefore no damage of the land is anticipated. The area is likely to be degraded due to quarrying, pitting & roads. The impact on the land form or Physiography will be limited to the modification of the slope. The landscape and land use will undergo a radical change due to open cast mining. The impact during plan period is limited as benches will be formed on the already degraded land. Besides these benches, roads will also modify the Physiography. By the completion of project period plantation will grow up and will form green belt around the Quarry Land area. During the plan period, benches will reach the ultimate pit limit. The total exploited Crusher Stone shall be transported to crusher plant of making aggregates therefore no waste shall be generated. Reclamation and rehabilitation will be started at the end of mine life which required sufficient quantity of waste etc. for back filling. Availability of waste at the closing time of mine will be very less to meet requirement; hence the mined out pit will be developed as water reservoir in future. Experience of scientific mining work will be achieved by the applicant and workers which can be utilized for further achievements related to mining. 11. DETAILS OF PREVENTIVE AND CONTROL SCHEME OF AIR AND WATER POLLUTION: Air Pollution Control: The proposed site is located in the remote area having a clean atmosphere. Therefore the quality of ambient air will be as good as heaven. As the mining is of small scale, the potential sources of air pollution arising from mining operations would be Drilling, haul roads, exhaust fumes of internal combustion machines, combusting of fuel oil and transportation of Page 11 of 16
Due to this mining activities air quality will undergo certain significant change. Air pollution caused by mining and associated activities can be classified into the following categories: Gaseous Pollutants (Nitrogen Oxides, Sulphur Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide) Suspended Particulate Matter. The present level of mining is not anticipated to raise the concentration of the pollutants beyond the prescribed limits. However, the following measures are being adopted in the proposed mining activity to mitigate the PM levels in ambient air. Mitigation Measure: Mining activities will generate certain quantities of dust during drilling, blasting, loading and transportation operations. The following measures will be taken to mitigate the fugitive dust from different operations: To avoid the dust generation from the drilling operations, wet drilling method will be adopted. Drill machines will be equipped with dust collectors. Dust mask will be provided to all workers. Provision of dust filters/ mask to workers working at highly dust prone and affected areas. Provision of green belt all along the periphery of the lease area. Periodical monitoring of ambient air quality in and around the lease area. Lying of haul road as per the standards Regular maintenance of haul road and service road to reduce air borne dust. Watering of haul road and other road at regular intervals. Dense plantation being carried in and around the proposed mines will help in combating air pollution. In case of long transportation the trucks after loading will be covered with tarpaulin sheets. Speed of the vehicles will be maintained within the prescribed limits. Trucks will not be over loaded and will be maintained to the optimum body level. Page 12 of 16
Water Management and Water Pollution Control: Mining activities will not cause adverse impacts as the mineral is non toxic in nature. Lease area is fairly flat reducing the possibility of soil erosion. Garland drain will be properly channelized the rain water and wash offs in sedimentation ponds. As the manpower is likely to be deployed from nearby village, therefore the discharge of domestic waste water will not be much and will be easily controlled with the provision of septic tank and soak pit. The stored water will be used for reduction of Particular Matter of Ambient Air, and for the development of greenbelt etc. Following control measures will be taken to minimize water Pollution due to mining activity; The stored water will be used for reduction of Particular Matter of Ambient Air, and for the development of greenbelt etc. A drain should be created around the quarry land and connected to the proposed water body. Water Consumption (Avg.) Waste Water Generation Source of water 8-10 kld Only from domestic section, taken care by Soak pit/ Septic tank arrangement Nearby Village Noise Environment: Movement of truck/ dumper will create the transitional noise level. However noise generated by these will be of low level and will be within the prescribed desired limit. Following control measures will be taken to minimize negative impact due to mining activity. Machinery and equipments of improved designs Proper maintenance of all machines will be carried out which will reduce noise generation during operations. Use of PPE,s personal protective devices i.e. earmuffs and earplugs by workers, working in high noise areas. Page 13 of 16
Provision of green belt all along the periphery of the lease area. Conducting periodical medical checkup of all workers for any noise related health problems Proper training to personnel to create awareness about adverse noise level effects. Noise barriers, silencers and enclosures shall be incorporated in the equipments, which emit noise levels. Unnecessary use of horns by the drivers of the vehicles shall be avoided. 12. PROVISIONS FOR SEPARATE STACKING OF SURFACE SOIL EXCAVATED FROM MINING OPERATION AND IT S UTILITY: Top soil in the lease area is very scanty. Available soil will be removed and kept stacked for utilizing for plantation in the backfilled area, when the mine reaches the ultimate limits. Grasses will be planted on the soil along the slopes to prevent wash offs during monsoon and prevent landslides. 13. DETAILS OF SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC UP GRADATION OF MINING EFFECTED AREA DUE TO PROPOSED PROJECT: 3.345 Hectares of Shri Ramkumar Singh Mine has undertaken community development works in order to improve the amenities in nearby villages as a part of commitment towards social and economic up liftment of the area. Mining is expected to have positive impact on socio-economic life of people living in nearby villages. No impact on agricultural lands has been reported due to mining, nor has mining affected the climate of the area. There has been rather an improvement in the status of the people because of increase in income due to direct or indirect employment Mining has created awareness amongst the people for education and general upliftment particularly in the womenfolk. 14.
