March 3 was World Wildlife Day.

This year, the theme is The future

of wildlife is in our hands, with

the African and Asian elephants

being the main focus.

The National Oceanic Atmospheric

Administration and NASA have

announced that 2015 was by far the

hottest year in 136 years of record

keeping.

A 75-seater solar-powered passenger ferry, the

first of its kind in the country, is quietly taking

shape at Aroor in Alappuzha district. The boat

is expected to be commissioned within the next

three months.

The World Wetlands Day was

celebrated on February 2, marking

the signing of the convention on

wetlands or better known as the

Ramsar Convention, from the town

in Iran where the convention was

adopted in 1971. This year the

theme is Wetlands for the future

Sustainable Livelihoods. Wetlands

harbour a tremendous biodiversity

of plants and animals, and are also

called the kidneys of the world

because they clean up water as a

natural function.

The National Green Tribunal has

directed the Union Environment Ministry

and the Delhi government to initiate

programmes to provide alternative modes

of cremation of human remains, saying

the traditional method of burning wood

emitted hazardous pollutants in the

environment.

The World Economic Forum and

the Ellen MacArthur Foundation,

with McKinsey & Co. as a

knowledge partner, released a new

report which forecast that oceans

will contain more plastic than fish by

2050, by weight.

Birds of 11 rare species thought to be

extinct have been found during a survey

of the water bodies in Jharkhand, a state

forest department official said. The

water bodies of Jharkhand managed to

draw as many as 37,000 migratory birds

belonging to 29 species last year, the

survey carried out on behalf of the

Jharkhand forest department found.

N. KUMARCHAIRMAN-CUM MANAGING DIRECTOR


FROM THE CHAIRMAN's DESK

Greetings !!!!

The financial year 2015-2016 has ended and has ended well. BCCL achieved its production target

and at the same time it has been one of the foremost subsidiaries of CIL in improving the

environment. Achieving these targets inspires us to take BCCL to newer heights. The environment

department of BCCL has been doing good work and it really makes me happy to see their work

reflect positivity on BCCL's image.

There is still a long way to go and I am glad that BCCL is taking all the initiatives to garner the

technological changes. Digitization of mining and the forest/ecologically restored land is underway

which will enhance the company's credibility globally, making us at par with the technologically

developed industries. Surplus mine water utilization is another arena where BCCL's environment

department is working earnestly and the day is not far when every drop of water will be gainfully

utilized by BCCL and provided to the surrounding water scarce areas. Care is being taken for proper

preparation and implementation of the Mine Closure Plan wherein attention is being given to all the

facets of mine closure.

We are moving ahead on the right track. It goes without doubt that the success of BCCL as a company

dedicated to mining & environment will depend upon each one of our work & contribution. This

company stands on the hard work of each of its employee and it will reach greater heights only

through sheer hard work & dedication.

I wish you all a very HAPPY LABOR DAY and hope that each one of you continue to play your part

in the growth story of BCCL.!


FROM THE DIRECTOR'S DESK

Way back in September 2015 ParyavaranDarpan started as an idea and today it is on the journey to the third edition. Appreciation has been pouring in from all quarters on the success of this newsletter. I congratulate the environment team of BCCL for this initiative.To see this fledging grow fills me with a deep sense of contentment & pride. As I always say

BCCL has been redefining the perception of mining. Earlier mining meant coal extraction but today mining means extracting the coal with due care of Mother Nature. I don't speak only about myself but all the mining engineers working in BCCL. Rather than flaunting the production figures, each area is now in a race to have the best eco-restoration site. Environment along with production has been the centre of discussion at all forums in the closing month of 2015-2016. Sri Anil Swarup, Coal Secretary (Government of India) visited Rajapur Open Cast Project's (ROCP) Ecological Restoration Site at Bastacolla Area and appreciated the ecological restoration of fire affected area by BCCL. His appreciation is no less than a gold medal for us.

Meeting the environment compliances, had this been our sole motive then things wouldn't have shaped up so well. It is rather the commitment and promise of BCCL to give more than what it has taken that motivates us to work for the environment.

wish you all a very happy labor day. May we all be destined to do true labor and contribute to the growth of our Nation.

Lord Krishna told Arjuna

Perform your bounden duty, for action is superior to inaction and even the maintenance of the body would not be possible for you by inaction!The above word of Lord Krishna was a message to all. Working and working earnestly is very important. Our labor should be a source of joy & happiness to others. I take this opportunity to

Paryavaran Darpan Vol 1 Issue 3 1

The Earth houses more than 6 billion human beings and each one of us has been endowed with the faculty of making choices. Most of us feel pretty comfortable making the choices that are necessary to live our lives without taking in cognizance their effect on the cosmos.It is often more difficult, however, when it is up to society to make choices. We often feel we don't know enough to make the choice, and it sometimes feels as though we are making choices for other people and most of the time we shirk from taking the responsibility of making a choice. It is rather the indecision which harms more than wrong decision and choice.Today we have to make a choice and mind my friends it is not a choice between development and environment but a choice between senseless development and sustainable development. We Indians have a habit of looking up to the western world as the epitome of development, copying their glass buildings and concrete jungle. Following the western notion of development, somewhere we have lost the whole essence of development. A few days ago, news was flashing about scientists in Hong Kong developing leak proof leaf bowls to replace foam containers. Well, we Indians had the tradition of using leaf as plates and bowls which we discarded in the name of development. The same goes for the Earthen Kulhar replaced by plastic cups and Earthen Surahi being replaced by refrigerators. In the race to be developed we have already destroyed what was sustainable.Very small changes in our choices will have far reaching impact on our mother nature. If we gift plant saplings instead of gifting flowers on any occasion, then imagine the greenery on our planet, even if 30% of the saplings survive. Bhutan may be a very poor country but their celebration of the birth of their prince by planting 1,08,000 saplings is one of the most expensive gift they have given to the world.A time has come to revisit and redefine our choices. Maybe a time has come to undo the senseless development and usher into an era of sustainable development. A time has come to choose again and act wisely. It is upto us whether we want a burning world or a greener world-THE CHOICE IS OURS!!!We wish you all a very happy labor day and hope that all our labor result into a beautiful green world.

Inception of logical Restoration in BCCL Part-1

Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL),A Mini Ratna Company (A Subsidiary of Coal India

Ltd.), Government of India undertaking, is the major coal mining company and only producer

of prime coking coal in India. A long history of more than 125 years of coal mining also

includes the history of damage to its land and environment. Prior to nationalization of coal

mines, JCF was in the hands of private mine owners until it was nationalized by the

Government of India in 1971-73. The mining methods then were, by and large unscientific

compared to the present day technology. Mining was carried out with the sole motto of profit

making and 'more hole, more coal' without any regard to safety, conservation and

environment. Such type of 'slaughter mining' and un-systematic mining over a long period

resulted in change of the original land-use and severe land degradation in the form of quarries,

subsidence depressions, coal mine fires, spoil dumps, loss of soil, original topography as well

as drainage pattern.

Biological reclamation of degraded mining land by way of plantation was the first effort of

BCCL to tackle land degradation. Large scale afforestation program was started by BCCL in

1986. The plantation has been done through State Forest Department of Bihar/ Jharkhand,

and that of West Bengal.

The forest department has done plantation with mono culture single tier species or with only

few common species, which are fast growing but not suitable for ecological restoration.

These plantation sites do not attract fauna and birds, micro-organisms etc. The canopy of

mono-culture plants as such is green, but hardly with any ground cover vegetation. Soil is

almost naked subject to erosion, sterile without much microbial activity. Bio-diversity is

either insignificant or absent. OBDs were invaded by some of the worst weeds of the region

and these include Chromalaenasp., Partheniumhysterophorus, Hyptissuaveolens, besides

Lantana camara, Croton bonplandianumand other noxious weeds such as Xanthium

strumarium. There is no grass cover, litter fall or native trees on the OBDs

Inception of Ecological Restoration in BCCL

MoU for preparing Road map for ecological restoration of BCCL mine areas

To resolve the issues which were not addressed by mono-culture single tier plantation and to

restore the biodiversity, BCCL approached Forest Research Institute (FRI), Dehradun for

preparing Road map for ecological restoration of BCCL mine areas. Establishing

biodiversity in a barren mined out degraded land is a highly technical job, and BCCL wasn't

having such expertise. An expert team of scientists from FRI, Dehradun visited Jharia

coalfield in March 2011 for conducting a 'Rapid Ecological Appraisal' to develop the Road

Map for Eco-restoration of degraded mined out land/OB dumps of BCCL. They interacted

with local people for assessing their needs and acceptability for forestry. As per the FRI

experts, the prevailing practice of plantation being done in BCCL was not ecologically

appropriate. BCCL have done plantation with mono culture single tier species or with 3-4

species, which are fast growing, not suitable for eco-restoration. These plant species do not

attract fauna, birds, micro-organisms etc. As per FRI's opinion, plantation should be a 3-tier

method. The lower cover should constitute grasses which will provide bio-mass to soil and

home to worms, insects and micro-organisms. The middle tier shall be shrubs and the third

tier shall be trees. This 3-tier system will attract fauna, birds and other organisms and will be

developed into full-fledged forest eco-system. Food chains will be established by

inhabitation of different kinds of fauna on these ecologically restored sites. The FRI team has

expressed that though eco-restoration in a highly degraded area like Jharia coalfield is a

challenging task but with proper scientific approach positive results can be achieved and

much of the degraded land in the coalfield can be restored.


Expert appraisal survey team from FRI, Dehradun, March 2011

A MoU was signed between FRI and BCCL on 22nd Feb, 2011 for preparation of a road map/

action plan for ecological restoration of BCCL

mine areas. The job had been done by Ecology

and Environment Division of Forest Research

Institute Dehradun and prepared a road map in July

2011. The road map includes soil working

methods, soil and moisture conservation

measures, and choice of ecologically and socio-

economically viable plant species, methods of

preparation of seed mix, methods of seeding and

planting for ecological restoration of degraded

mine areas and nursery development. The Road

map recommended for ecological restoration of

about 226 ha. of mined out degraded land over a

period of 10 years, including development of a

model restoration plantation at one of the BCCL's

overburden dump site by FRI. Other objectives

being, awareness and capacity building initiatives;

intensification of the availability of fuel wood, fodder, grasses and other forest usufructs from the

restored areas; securing people's participation in planning and restoration efforts in the

surrounding villages to ensure sustainability. Further, FRI, Dehradun was roped in to develop a

model ecological restoration site over 8 Ha OB dump at Tetulmari colliery, Sijua Area

Simultaneously, BCCL roped in Centre for Environmental Management of Degraded

Ecosystems (CEMDE), Delhi University, a Centre of Excellence of Ministry of Environment,

July


Forests and Climate Change, Government of India for guiding and implementation of ecological

restoration of mined out and degraded lands of BCCL. An expert team from MoEFCC had visited

BCCL mine sites in July 2011 for conducting a Rapid Ecological Appraisal for strategizing

ecological restoration of mined out degraded lands of BCCL, Prof. C R Babu, CEMDE selected 7

Ha site at Damoda colliery, Barora Area for developing model ecological restoration site. There

was a scientific and logical reason for selecting the DamudaGhutway OB dump site as a model for

ecological restoration. This OB dump is on the northern fringe of Jharia Coalfield and also adjacent

to a natural forest which is beyond coal bearing area. The model ecological restoration site can

visually be compared to the adjacent existing natural forest. Therefore, through ecological

restoration of this dump by BCCL, it would be possible to restore and replicate it similar to the

adjacent native forest, which is 3-storied and establish biodiversity.

14-18 MARCH 2016~TRAINING ON "ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION OF MINED LAND FOR EMPLOYEES OF BHARAT COKING COAL LIMITED, DHANBAD", AT FRI DEHRADUN

Forest Research Institute (FRI), Dehradun has been as integral part of the success story of Ecological restoration being taken up by BCCL. Way back in 2011, anMoU was signed between FRI and BCCL for developing a Model Eco-restoration site & preparing a Road map for ecological restoration over all the degraded and mined out lands of BCCL.

The training was very comprehensive and included visits to ecological restoration sites taken up by eco-task force of Indian Army, nurseries, medicinal plant units, museums and demonstration of various techniques like bamboo grafting, seed preservation&seed sowing.

A short training on "Ecological restoration of mined land for employees of Bharat Coking Coal Limited, Dhanbad", organized by "Forest Ecology and Environment Division of FRI from 14th o 18th March 2016, was attended by 30 personnel of BCCL. The team visiting FRI had a fair representation from General Managers to General Mazdoors, dedicated to ecological restoration.

The training lectures were interactive processes where industry and research met at a common platform and practical problems of ecological restoration were discussed and solved. The lectures were well distributed over the five days and diverse topics like Bio-engineering's measures for treatment of degraded lands in watershed, Management of soils for ecological restoration of coal mine spoils, Planting techniques of important tree species, The techniques of seed collection, handling and storage, Nursery techniques and operations, Common disease problems and their management in nursery were discussed and deliberated upon.

WASTE TO WEALTH: TURNING SOURCE OF POLLUTION

INTO SOURCE OF ENERGY

North India and, in particular, has its own version of this public-health disaster unfolding

right now. Once winter sets in, the pollution levels across Delhi are routinely more than 20

times above safe levels mandated by the World Health Organization. In October and November,

farmers in and burn their fields as this is the cheapest and easiest way to clear paddy

stubble after harvest. This practice has been steadily rising since the advent of mechanized

harvesting in the mid 1980s. Due to this, Indian scientist and industry have come together to set up a

plant that uses home grown technology that converts agricultural refuse into a valuable bio fuel

resource. The technology developed by scientist from Institute of Chemical Technology(ICT)

which is capable of converting any agricultural waste into ethyl alcohol or bio-ethanol , which can

be converted into petrol to be used in vehicle as fuel. A plant based on this technology is capable of

using 10 Tonnes of agricultural waste as a raw material every day. This technology has several

advantages over similar second generation bio-ethanol technology. It is also capable of using a

wide range of agricultural residues sugarcane bagasse, rice and wheat straw etc. It yields bio-

ethanol in less than 24 hours and besides this, it is capable of recycling 90 percent of enzymes and

water used by the plant. Farmers particularly in the Indo- Gangetic Plain, where substantial

quantity of wheat and rice crops are produced, burn away most of the agricultural residues, leading

to wastage of resources and also polluting the ambient air. As this worsens the air quality in winter

due to weak winds in the region, the National Green Tribunal recently banned the above burning.

Bio-Fuel is the only existing liquid alternative to fossil fuels available at scale today and holds

potential to provide 30 percent of all transportation fuels by 2050. In fact, bio-fuels from waste and

agricultural residue can reduce emission by 80-90 percent compared to gasoline (petrol). India has

a total of 600 million Tonnes of agricultural wastes available annually. Out of this, only 15 percent

is currently used for fodder and firewood. Even if the country can tap 50 percent of the total, 300

million Tonnes, nearly 100 billion liters of bio-ethanol can be produced which can be used as

source of fuel in the vehicles.

DIGITIZATION

BCCL is in process to Digitize the

Surface Plans/Location Maps of all its

mines, which will aid the monitoring

of the reclamation work and Green-

Belt development in the mining areas.

Post completion, the maps can be

accessed through Google Maps.

MINE CLOSURE PLANFor the 22 non- producing mines,

Mine Closure Plans are being

prepared by RI-II, CMPDIL. A total

of 53 no. of Mine Closure Plans

have already been prepared and

approved by BCCL Board.

Action plan is being prepared

which incorporates the progressive

closure plan for producing as well

as non-producing mines, taking due

care of environment.

ISO COMPANY WIDEBCCL is presently having ISO 9001,

ISO 14001 & OHSAS 18001

certification in five units namely

Muraidih OCP, Block II OCP, Sinidih

Central Workshop, AKWMC OCP,

Moonidih U/G mines. However now

BCCL is going for companywide

Integrated Management System (IMS

integrating ISO 9001, ISO 14001 &

OHSAS 18001) certification. In this

regard corporate management policy

and manuals (Integrated Operational

Manual, Integrated Maintenance

manual & Integrated Management

Manual) have been prepared by

CMPDI & approved by competent

authority of BCCL. The process for

tendering of ISO Certification work,

to award the work to Certification

body is in process.

MINE WATER UTILIZATIONA scheme for complete mine water

utilization is being worked out

encompassing the survey of mines/

collieries from where water is being

pumped out and assessment of

inventory of quantity of water

discharged, treatment of mine water &

complete utilization (by BCCL & Non-

BCCL both).

WASTE TO WORTHWe decided to put some of the most creative and useful ideas reusing plastic bottles. It is always important to remember that a plastic bottle takes 700 years to start the decomposition process and more than a century to

fully disappear in the environment. So, go green!

Use two plastic bottles to make canisters to store food as rice, beans, noodles and sugar. You will need to cut the bottles in different sizes: a longer one (to be the base) and a smaller one (to be the cover) and fit them together.

Perfect for waiting rooms and offices this idea is

very creative. Cut the upper part of some plastic

bottles and nail them in a board (can be a piece of

wood or a metal bar). In offices this idea can work

as a mail organizer as well.

The bottom part of plastic bottles can be perfectly used as snack bowls. Cut the bottom part of the bottle and use a clothes iron to remove any imperfection (only press the edge gently against the iron for some seconds). Use it to put small snacks

If you have a garden and like to have birds flying in it a good idea is to place some feeders to attract them. You can make creative birds feeder using plastic bottles.

You can easily transform a plastic bottle in a watering can. You only need to make some holes on the cap using a nail and a hammer.
