ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

Environmental Management Measures specific to the above subject

mine are detailed under the following heads

Air Environment

Noise Environment

Water Environment

Land Environment

Socio Welfare Measures

Occupation Safety and Health Measures

Monitoring Programme

Budget for Environmental Protection/management Measures

2.0 AIR ENVIRONMENT

2.1 SOURCES OF AIR POLLUTION

Main pollutant from the subject Mine is Dust/Particulate

Matter/Fugitive dust. The following are the identified sources of

emission of dust during mining activity:



Drilling

Wire Saw cutting

Excavation

Dressing

Loading and Transportation

Dumping

Production per annum : 1,500 m3 of Colour Granite

Total Waste generation : 2,16,000 m3 for Life of Mine of 18 years.

(*Source: Approved Mining Plan).

2.2 AIR POLLUTION CONTROL MEASURES

The measures proposed for implementation are listed below

Water Sprinkling will be done for dust suppression using Water

tankers having provision of sprinkling on dump yards and haul

roads.

Dust Masks will be provided for the workers based on work

area.

In emergency one DG set of 25 kVA will be provided at site. Low noise

DG set (with noise absorbing enclosures) will be considered. DG set

will be operated based on the operation activity i.e wire saw cutting

and is not continuous operation.

3.0 NOISE ENVIRONMENT

3.1 SOURCES OF NOISE

Noise produced from mining operations is not continuous. The levels

of noise are different based on the activity workers are exposed to.

Identified sources of noise from the mine are listed below.

Drilling Operations

Wire saw Cutting Operations

Dressing Operations

Machinery operation i.e Excavator, tipper movement and

DG Set.



3.2 NOISE PROTECTION MEASURES

Hearing protection devices (Ear plugs and ear muffs) will be provided

to the drill machine operators and dumper drivers.

Green belt will be developed all along the periphery of mine covering

width of 7.5 m to act as barrier between core and buffer zones.

4.0 WATER ENVIRONMENT

The areas which can have effect on water environment are listed

below:

Water Consumption

Ground water level

4.1 WATER CONSUMPTION

Water consumption in the mine is estimated to be about 20 m3/day as

detailed below in table. Source of water is from bore well/local

purchase.

WATER BALANCE (m3/day)

Requirement Loss Wastewater

Dust suppression 5.0 5.0 -

Greenbelt 12.8 12.8 -

Drinking Water 2.2 0.4 1.8

Total 20.0 18.2 1.8

The only wastewater generation from the Mine is from domestic use.

Septic tank followed by soak pit will be provided for treating the

domestic wastewater.

4.2 GROUND WATER LEVEL

The topography of the mine varies from 100m to 180m RL. As per

estimated mineral reserves vide Mining plan, the depth of mining will

be upto 75m RL. Based on information collected from nearby

borewells, the water table is at 55 m RL. It is noted that the mining

depth is above ground water level. Hence mining will not intersect

ground water table.



5.0 LAND ENVIRONMENT

The identified aspects which can cause impact due to mining

operations on land environment are listed below.

Landuse

Solid waste generation

Transportation

Greenbelt Development

5.1 LANDUSE

The category of the mining lease area is govt. land and is occupied by

boulders. No habitation within the mine lease area. The nearest village

is Venkatapuram at 0.6 km in South direction with the habitation of

1481 persons as per census 2011.

Mine will be operated for 18 years and the land use pattern for next

five year is as below:

LANDUSE PATTERN (Ha.)

Five year Plan Life of mine

Area of excavation 1.24 3.92

Temporary dump 0.18 -

Greenbelt

Development 0.08 0.08

Undisturbed area 2.5 -

Total 4.00 4.00

Conceptually during mine closure mined out area will be backfilled

with the waste generated during mining activity. Phased plantation

will be taken up in the 7.5 m buffer zone.

5.2 SOLID WASTE GENERATION

Solid waste generation from the mine in the next five years and for the

life of mine is given below

SOLID WASTE GENERATION (m3)

Annual Next Five years Life of the Mine

Waste 4,500 22,500 2,16,000



5.2.1 NATURE OF SOLID WASTE

Solid waste is mainly waste rock.

Total waste generation from mine during first five years is 22,500 m3

and for life of mine of 18 years is 2,16,000 m3. A temporary dump

yard is proposed in an area of 0.18 Ha on SE of the Quarry lease area

to accommodate the waste generated during the first five years of

mine operation. The remaining waste quantity will be concurrently

backfilled. The dump will be having ground footage periphery of 186.7

m for which garland drain with check dam will be provided.

A garland drain of 176m length and 0.7m width is proposed. Depth of

the drain will be designed such that gravity flow following the ground

gradient profile will be considered with maximum depth of 0.5m (176

L x 0.7 W x 0.5 D in meters). Garland drain will be provided with

sedimentation pits along the length and check dam at discharge end.

5.3 TRANSPORTATION

5.3.1 WITHIN THE MINE

Transportation activity within the mining lease area is mainly for

transportation of waste rock by trucks from the mine pit to the dump

yard. The length of the haulage road is approximately 312.6 m and

varies with progress/increase of mine area.

Total waste generation from the mine is estimated to be about

76,500 m3 for life of the mine. A total of 1 trip/day is required for

transport of the same. No impact due to truck plying is anticipated as

the truck movement within the mining lease area is minimal.

5.3.2 OUTSIDE THE MINING LEASE AREA

Transportation of Colour granite from the mining lease area will be

through trucks.

Considering annual production of 1,500 m3 /Annum of Colour

Granite, maximum 1 trucks /day will be transported and the impact

due to this transportation will be minimal.



5.4 GREENBELT DEVELOPMENT

As per the conservation of Mineral and Mines Act, it is required to

leave a barrier of 7.5 m width all along the mining lease area. But the

applied lease area is scanty suitable for plantation as entire area is

rocky.

There are absolutely no chances of any tree growing in the quarry

area. However it is proposed to plant a few trees in the nearby village

area in the place shown by the village panchayat. The details of

proposed plantation are shown below.

6.0 SOCIAL WELFARE MEASURES

The mine will provide employment to 40 persons and equal number of

persons will be employed indirectly for transportation and other

activities. Local persons will be given preference.

The project is a small scale operation and proposed production is

1,500 m3 /Annum of Colour Granite.

The maximum revenue which will be generated by production of

1,500 m3 of granite is Rs 120 Lakhs considering average prevailing



rate of Rs 8000 per m3. The expenditure for production of the 1 m3 of

granite is estimated to be about Rs 5000 including royalty. Of the

total profit of Rs 3000 per m3, 1% of the profit which is about Rs 0.45

Lakhs /annum will be spent for welfare of the nearest villages which

are located within 2 km of the project site.

7.0 OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH MEASURES

Fugitive dust, noise and fines may affect the health of workers. Safety

of employee during operation will be taken care as per mine

regulations act 1961. To avoid any adverse effects on the health of

workers due to dust & noise, the following measures will be

implemented:

Provision of rest shelters for mine workers with amenities like

drinking water, fans, toilets etc.

Provision of personal protection devices to the workers;

Dust suppression of haul road.

First-aid facilities within lease area.

Height, slope and width of dump development as per the

approved mining plan.

Regular medical examination for the employees.

The following Personnel protective equipment (PPE) based on the

nature of job of the worker will be provided

Eye & Face Protection – Spectacles & Goggles

Respiratory Protection – Dust Masks

Head Protection - Helmets

Foot Protection – Safety Shoes

Hearing Protection – Ear Muffs
