within 10.0 km radius (buffer zone), both of which comprise the ‘study area’. The following data, through field survey and other sources, will be collected by the Consultancy firm for preparing the EIA/EMP for the proposed mine with related facilities:

i Details of fauna (wild and domestic), flora within a distance of 10 km

from the project site (including forest details).

ii Major habitat within 10 km radius.

iii Major industries within 10 km radius.


iv Sensitive places / historical monuments and sanctuaries within 10 km radius.

v Land use pattern within core zone and buffer zone (10 km radius around the core zone) including the cropping pattern.

vi Demography and Socio-economic based on last available Census data for entire study area. Sample survey near project site.

vii Relevant meteorological data, for previous decades from India Meteorological Department (IMD)

viii Study of present environmental protection and mitigation measures in nearby operating similar projects, if any.

ix Geo-hydrological aspects based on available data from various secondary sources.

x Identification of water bodies, hills, roads etc. within 10.0 km radius and collecting data regarding discharge of streams and flood levels etc. from existing records, if any river lies in study area.

4.0 PREPARATION OF EMP The EMP will include the following details a. Study of the reports like Geological report, FR or approved mining plan

for mine available with the client regarding the project. b. Present Environmental Setting The base line data being generated and collected as per para 1.0 and

2.0 will be used to establish the present environmental scenario. c. Identification, prediction and evaluation of Anticipated

Environmental Impacts due to the Proposed Mine and related facilities.

The environmental impacts will be anticipated in core and buffer zone on:

- Topography

- Climate

- Water Quality (Surface/ Ground)

- Hydro-geological Regime

- Air quality

- Noise Levels


- Flora and Fauna (terrestrial, aquatic)

- Traffic density

- Land-Use

- Socio-Economic Conditions

- Habitat

- Health, culture, human environment including public health, occupational health and safety

- Sensitive Places/Historical Monuments

- Aesthetics and Visual intrusion The impacts will be anticipated based on experience of similar projects d. Proposed Environmental Safeguards and Monitoring Mechanism

Relevant guidelines as per Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Notification issued in 2006 under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, standard TORs and the EIA manuals available on the MOEF website will be kept in mind while spelling out impact & its mitigation measures. The experience of similar project(s) will be made use of for envisaging the pollution control measures by pronouncing the success in the past.

The following aspects will be covered: i. Reclamation of disturbed areas, to the extent feasible

ii. Measures to control the surface and ground water pollution due to surface runoff and discharges

iii. Measures to control air pollution due to proposed activities/ operation.

iv. Green belt development plan and identification of flora species which can be planted in and around the project

v. Measures to control noise pollution and mitigate adverse impact on workers and habitat in core and buffer zone

vi. Pronounce the improvement in socio-economic conditions and benefits the people will get on implementation of the project

vii. Measures to control health hazard of workers and surrounding population.

viii. Total and specific cost of implementation of control measures

ix. Environmental monitoring, implementation organization and feedback mechanism to effect mid course corrections.
