1.0 ORDINARY EARTH EXCAVATION

1.1 INTRODUCTION:

The land area of the Ordinary Earth excavation project is 0.975 hect. The Project site is located at

Khasra No.- 2467 Kha, 2490 Ga, 1212, 1213, Village- Thari, Tehsil- Malihabad, District- Lucknow,

Uttar Pradesh. The topography of the land is undulated and is not suitable for agriculture and this

land in Khasra/Khatauni mentioned as Agricultural land, so there is a need to excavate the Ordinary

Earth (14326.08 cubic meters) and to make the agricultural land as a recharge pit for ground water

and other purpose like Fish farming.

2.0 IMPACTS OF ORDINARY EARTH EXCAVATION & MITIGATION

The severity of the impact of Ordinary Earth excavation activities on environment may be

considered to be next only to that on maintenance of Agricultural land. No doubt, minerals are

indispensable for development and sustenance for the quality of life. At the same time, it is essential

that the Ordinary Earth excavation activities need to be continuously monitored and kept under

control for the management of the environment.

Most of the developmental activities generate environmental problems, but people do not

give due regard and attention to those problems. The question to be addressed with regard to

environmental issues of Ordinary Earth excavation pertains to conservation of minerals on the one

hand, and the environmental problems on the other. Depending on the location and the type of

excavation, the magnitude and the importance of environmental impact would vary. The impacts

can be broadly classified into four categories:

(1) Impact on Land

(2) Impact on air Environment

(3) Impact on Noise Environment

(4) Impact on Biological Environment

The first three impacts are often categorized collectively as physical impacts. All these impacts need

to be addressed properly to minimize the associated impacts. Depending on the nature of activities

and environmental screening, the impacts have been identified for their importance. Mitigating &

monitoring requirement are focused in the Environmental Management Plan for countering or

minimizing the potential environmental impacts associated with Ordinary Earth excavation. Impact

on various environmental parameters and likely mitigation measures to be adopted are described

below.

2.1 AIR ENVIRONMENT

2.1.1 Anticipated impacts

Although Ordinary Earth excavation does not cause any direct change in air environment,

transportation could cause atmospheric pollution. In Ordinary Earth excavation operations, the

source of air pollution may cause deterioration of air quality due to the fugitive dust emission

during scooping, loading-unloading operations, of Ordinary Earth and transportation. Loading and

unloading of Ordinary Earth would be associated with the fugitive emission in the active area

whereas fugitive emission during transportation would affect the areas/villages situated adjacent

to road side. Another source of air pollution would be emission from the trucks/tractor vehicles to

be used for transportation of Ordinary Earth.

2.1.2 Mitigation Measures:

2.1.2.1 For Fugitive dust Emission:

a) All trucks tractors will be covered by tarpaulin to prevent dust emission.

b) Water will be sprayed after loading activity (if Ordinary Earth would be in dry condition)

c) The dust suppression measures like water spraying will be done on the excavation site.

d) Overloading of trucks and trolleys will be prevented.

2.1.2.2 For Vehicular Emission:

a) Vehicular emission can pose serious health hazard. During the Ordinary Earth

excavation, tractor/truck would be used for transportation. Tractor/truck comprises of

diesel engine produce particles are dangerously fine of PM10 & PM2.5. It is well known fact

that combustion of diesel generates small particulate matter, nitrogen oxides and

sulphur dioxide (NO2, SO2).

b) Ultra low sulphur diesel would be used in vehicle. CPCB prescribed emission Standards

for the vehicle would be followed.

2.2 LAND ENVIRONMENT

Ordinary Earth excavation is the process of scooping of Ordinary Earth that actively

supports the Restoration and conservation of agricultural land in the area. The entire process is a

kind of man made erosion of materials otherwise segregated by the Mother Earth through its

geologic processes. The top Ordinary Earth is usually fertile in nature. The surface (top) layer is

several folds richer in N, P, K and other micro-nutrient elements than subsurface layers. But

according to some farmers of the region, the top Ordinary Earths of certain areas of the agricultural

land are unsuitable for agricultural activity. But the subsurface layers seem to be more fertile and

good for cultivation. In such cases, removal of a layer or two from the surface would be a beneficial

act.

2.2.1 Anticipated impacts

The major impacts of Ordinary Earth excavation on land are changes in land stability and

Ordinary Earth loss. Due to continued and unscientific Ordinary Earth excavation, pits of different

dimensions would be formed in the affected areas. Some of the pits may later be covered with water

to form irregular shape of agricultural lands. The irregular shape of agricultural lands created in

random locations due to indiscriminate Ordinary Earth excavation may lead to land stability

problems in the adjoining areas.

2.2.2 Mitigation measures

a) Ordinary Earth excavation depth will be limited to 2.0 mt along the topography. Only from

the surface.

b) No foreign material like polythene bag, jute bag and useless articles should be allowed to

remain/spill on the land, or no pits/pockets will be allowed to be filled with such material.

c) Excavation will not exceed beyond the agreed extraction depth.

d) No open bore hole is left.

2.3 NOISE ENVIRONMENT 2.3.1 Anticipated impacts

As far as noise pollution is concerned, Ordinary Earth excavation does not contribute much

to noise pollution, except the noise generated from the vehicles that transport excavated Ordinary

Earth from the lands. Noise level in the working environment is compared with the standards

prescribed by Central Pollution Control Board which has been adopted and enforced by the Govt. of

India through The Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000.

2.3.2 Mitigation measures

a) Well maintained vehicles will be used in order to reduce the noise during movement of

vehicles.

b) Regular and proper maintenance of transportation vehicles (trucks, tractor etc) would be

ensured.

c) There would be restriction on vehicular movement during night time.

2.4 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT

The area where Ordinary Earth excavation is practiced on agricultural land which are

generally devoid of any natural vegetation. The magnitude of which is proportional to the area

under brought under reclamation. There will not be any impacts on the biological environment in

the surrounding area. The land returned to a form and productivity in conformity with a prior land

use plan including a stable ecological state that does not continue substantially to environmental

deterioration and is consistent with surrounding aesthetic value.

2.4.1 CONSERVATION AND PROTECTION OF FLORA & FAUNA

Ordinary Earth excavation from the project site will not have any ecological impact. No

endangered and rare species of flora and fauna are found at the project site. The implementation for

development of green belt will be of paramount importance as it will not only add up as an aesthetic

feature, but also act as a pollution sink. a) The species to be grown in the area should be dust tolerant and fast growing species.

b) Apart from the green belt and aesthetic plantation for elimination fugitive of emission and

noise control, all other plantation efforts shall be decided and executed with the assistance

and co-operation of the local community.

2.5 SAFETY MEASURES DURING EXCAVATION

a) Trained the staff and other workers on safety measures and conduct safety drills to educate

them.

b) First-aid facilities would be provided to the laborer at the project site.

c) Conduct safety programs to create safety awareness among workers/staff.

2.6 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN IMPLEMENTATION

Environmental Management Plan serves no purpose if it is not implemented with true spirit.

Thus, an implementation and monitoring programme has to be prepared. Implementation of

proposed control measures and monitoring programme has an implication on the surrounding area

as well as for the region. Therefore, Ordinary Earth excavation management should be strengthen

the existing control measures as elaborated earlier in this report and monitor the efficacy of the

control measures implemented within the Ordinary Earth excavation area relating to the following

specific areas:

Regular visual examination will be carried out to look for possibilities of erosion. Any

abnormal condition, if observed should be taken care of.

Examination of noise levels at excavation site, stationary and mobile sources, and adjacent villages would be done.

Conduct environmental awareness program to the workers, supervisory staff and contract

laborers during the excavation period.

Recommend necessary measures to improve Environmental conditions.

No need of temporary toilets as the workers will be hired from the nearby villages.

2.7 Solid Waste Management

Disposal of packing material, carried by the workers at the project site. This packing material

would include used sachet/gutka/pan masala pouches. Polythene bag used by the workers

to bring their foods etc. would be separately stored in bins and managed as per Solid Waste

Management Rules.

2.8 Information Record

Daily data of Ordinary Earth excavation at the project site would be recorded in the register

by the supervisory staff.

Number of employed workers would be entered in the register by the supervisory staff daily.

Number of vehicles used for the transportation of excavated Ordinary Earth should be

mentioned in the record register.

Category Area in Ha

Area Left in Berm 750.501

Quarrying 8549.5

Total Mining Area 0.975

Land Ownership:

Private Land - Required lands are followed by agreement among project proponent and land

owner. The proposed activity is to take place in the Plot(s) as per agreement and hence there will be

no change in land use.

4.3 Topography

The district forms a part of Ganga basin with flat alluvial terrain. Geomorphologically the district is

divided into two geomorphic units (i) Older flood plains & (ii) Active flood plain. Older flood plains

are represented by two level of terraces viz Erosional terrace (Te) occupying at higher level and

Depositional terrace (Td) at lower depressions. Older flood plain exists between elevation of 103

and 110 mamsl. Both the terraces are developed on the either side of Gomti river. Erosional Terrace

is also developed along Sai Nadi. Active flood plains are restricted to present day bank line of the

rivers. These are represented by land forms like point bars channel bars and lateral bars.

Quaternary sediments have been divided upto older & newer alluvium. The older alluvium is

comprised of grey to brown coloured silt clay and sand with or without Kankar of middle to late

Pleistocene age. The Newer alluvium overlies the older alluvium and has been sub divided into

terrace alluvium and channel alluvium & belongs to Holocene age. The newer alluvium comprises of

light Khaki grey silt, clay and fine to medium and coarse grained grey sand which is micaceous in

nature. Earths in the district exhibits a wide variation in composition texture and appearance. The

major position of the district is occupied by Earths locally known as "Bhur" or "Silty Sand" on the

ridges. "Matiyar" or "Clay Earths" occurs along topographic lows and "Dumat or Loamy Earths" in

the level lands. Clay is dominant in the areas where "Reh" (Usar) prevails. Along the river valleys, a

very fertile Earth called "Dumat" is prevalent which is youngest.

The average elevation of the area is 116.0 mRl & general slope of the area is from

south to north directions.

4.4 Existing land use pattern

Not Applicable, There is no forest land in the proposed mine lease area. The existing land use

pattern of the area is agricultural.

4.5 Ordinary Earth classification

Ordinary Earth is characterized mainly by yellow Ordinary Earths.

4.6 Climatic data from secondary sources

Climate:

Lucknow has a warm humid subtropical climate with cool, dry winters from December to

February and dry, hot summers from April to June. The rainy season is from mid-June to mid-

September, when Lucknow gets an average rainfall of 1010 mm (40 in) mostly from the south-west

monsoon winds. In winter the maximum temperature is around 25° Celsius and the minimum is in

the 6° to 8° Celsius range. Fog is quite common from late December to late January. Summers are

very hot with temperatures rising to the 40° to 45° Celsius range.

The district receives a normal rainfall of 1019 mm with 47 rainy days experiences sub-

tropical climate. The district is mainly drained by river Gomti and its tributary Sai which are

perennial in nature.

Date: 24/10/2019

1.0 Disaster Management and Risk Assessment: The mining is proposed in a gentler agricultural field. The mining will go up to the economical depth of 2.0 m and thereafter backfilling will commence to restore the topography of the area. The mining faces shall be dressed properly because any hanging boulders/loose material may create fatal accidents to the laborers while working in the pit. The area falls in Seismic Zone-III (low damage risk zone). Although complete precautions will be taken during the project activity to suppress the chances of any accident. Therefore precautionary measures shall be adopted. Tin shaded wooden houses shall be constructed in place of cemented houses in and around the area & lessee shall provide the sufficient amount of funds for these activities.

Some of the aspects to be included in emergency plan are as follow: 1. Organization-details of command structure, working systems, implementation procedures,

and emergency control centre & have of incident controller, site main controller, their duties & other key personnel.

2. Communication centers & persons involved call signs & list of telephone numbers. 3. Availability of special emergency equipment e.g. heavy lifting gear, bulldozers, trucks, special

firefighting equipment. 4. Details of voluntary organizations with names of organizers, telephone numbers, resources

etc. 5. Humanitarian arrangements e.g. transport evacuation centers, emergency feeding, treatment

of injured, first aid, ambulances etc. 6. No other accidents like subsidence of flood, tailing dam failure etc. shall be observed during

mining in hilly region. 1.2 Care & maintenance during temporary discontinuance:

During monsoon period (i.e. from June to September) every year mining operations shall be temporarily discontinued and. Local person shall be employed to supervise the area fencing around pit, etc shall be repaired immediately.

2.0 Economic repercussions of closure of mine and manpower retrenchments: All the workers to be employed are contractor labours. Any industry will provide direct and indirect employment. The local residents will earn tremendous amount of money due to mining activities. It will change their life style. Due to closure of mine, it will create very negative impact on the economy of the workers for their survival. Those earning good money will get some occupation for survival of their families. The literate workers will move here and there for the search of job. In the overall view the closure of mine will give very bad impact on the society and surrounding areas. Page 3 Project: Proposed Ordinary Soil Excavation at Gata No.- 2467 Kha, 2490 Ga, 1212, 1213, Village- Thari, Tehsil- Malihabad, District- Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.. (Lease Area: 0.975 Ha.) Disaster Management & Risk Assessment.

2.1 Mining shall be carried out through contractor in the proposed area & likely to be continued in the same manner. So no retrenchment of manpower is envisaged. Status of joining the family business back on the event of closure of mine & will depend on the circumstances prevailing at that time. However, chances of joining the family business back will not be so bright. 2.2 The compensation to given will depend on the labour laws prevalent at that time. Since 80% employees will be contract. They will not be compensated. Other will get benefit of compensation as per labor laws, while the staff will get only notice pay. 2.3 There are some satellite occupations connected to mining operations at present with in a distance of 5km. e.g. workshop/truck repair shops, tyre shops, general stores, small restaurants, fruit shops, tea shops etc. Such business at the time of closure is likely to get closed down, however the effect of single mine closure may not be fell at all. 2.4 Since the lessee will hand over the lease area to State Govt. there are no chances of continued engagement in the backfilled/reclaimed status. Once the lease is determined then all the remnant activities will come to an end barring the period of reclamation period. 2.5 The closure of mine will have grave repercussion on the expectations of society since the obvious advantages received will cease & the closure will directly affect their livelihood. Land owners will cease to get compensation in lien of surface rights. The local habitant in general will feel insecure as their education, health standards & life expectancy will be badly affected.
