Background and context

India currently is the 3rd largest producer of coal with a production of around 638.05

(Prov.) million tonnes in 2015-161 and contributes significantly to the production of other

mined commodities such as mineral fuels, metallic minerals, indu strial materials, and metal

alloys (Khullar 2006; Kuo 2005). India produces as many as 84 minerals comprising 4 fuel, 11

metallic, 49 nonmetallic industrial and 20 minor minerals2. The mining sector (including

fuel, atomic, major and minor minerals) contributed to about 2.4% of GDP in 2014-153.

Increasing demand in the infrastructure sector has seen an enhancement of mining

operations in India which has led to more than a two fold increase in crude steel production

from 32.6 million tonnes (MT) in 2004 to 81 MT in 20134. Moreover, the demand for coal in

India is poised to increase which may create a large demand -supply gap of 266MT by 2017

leading to increased extraction of coal5. Similarly, the production for aluminium was around

1483000 tonnes in India mainly from the 4 key states Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha

and Uttar Pradesh6. Limestone is an important non-metallic mineral for India consisting of

important constituents such as calcite and dolomite. Despite the importance of the mining

sector to the economy, in the absence of adequate rehabilitation and restoration measures,

land degradation can result. Hence adequate and effective mine reclamation and land

rehabilitation is critical to the future sustainability of the industry and in the interest s of

human health.

According to the harmonised atlas of land degradation (ICAR, 2010), mining contributes to

land degradation accounting for an area of 0.26mha in the country or 0.08% of the

geographical area. Although the share of mining is small compared to the other causes of

land degradation in India, mining and quarrying inevitably result in land degradation

particularly if inadequate land restoration measures are taken. Mine overburden and waste

are erosion-prone, choking drainage and producing acid drainage water. Red mud resulting

from extraction of aluminium from bauxite, for example, contains a concentration of

caustics, sodium aluminates and sodium carbonate, which are alkaline in nature and pose

serious environmental problems. During the dry season particles of red mud become air

borne and during the wet season the soda leaches from the mud and contaminates the

groundwater. Mining can consequently have multiple effects resulting in forest

degradation, loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services, depletion and alteration of the

quality of water resources, impacts on livestock and for human health as well as pollution of

the air, water and soil. Consequently, mine reclamation which aims to convert a site as far as

possible to pre-mining conditions ensures the future sustainability of the site and has

important ecological, social and economic benefits. From the vegetation perspective,

rehabilitation of mined areas in general requires the development of cost -effective and

sustainable vegetation protocols, standardization of plantation techniques and identification

of suitable tree, shrub and grass species to reclaim areas. However, the Indian context

imposes several constraints on effective reclamation due to a range of micro-climates and

local land-use requirements necessitating site-specific vegetation strategies. There is thus, a

huge requirement in the country to understand and promote the use of best practices in

rehabilitation of mined areas in a cost-effective and timely manner.

To address these issues, a well-attended workshop was held on 19th December, 2016 to carry

out a status assessment of the rehabilitation of mined areas in the country including a review

of successful strategies and techniques that mitigate land degradation and maximise the

rehabilitation and restoration of areas. This workshop helped to d istil the wisdom gained

over the years on rehabilitation of mined areas, reviewed information on the cost -benefits of

various strategies and paves the way for d isseminating information to the mining sector and

ensuring capacity build ing and technology transfer to achieve the best restoration results at

the lowest costs and in the shortest time frame. The workshop brought together the Ministry

of Mines, the Indian Bureau of Mines, representatives of the mining industry and concerned

cititizens, restoration experts and practitioners. The proceedings of the workshop are

presented in the following pages. Here we present the highlights of the workshop and major

recommendations.

Major recommendations emerging from the workshop

1. An action plan for mined-out areas and abandoned mines of the country

An action plan for rehabilitating mined -out areas should be prepared at national level

mentioning the area under various categories of mines, the status of rehabilitation, gaps in

knowledge, and the compilation of best practices at the national and international level. In

addition a proposal and time line for rehabilitation and source of funds for rehabilitation of

mines should be prepared at the earliest. (Action: TERI and IBM).

2. A monitoring system at national level

A monitoring system at national level must be put into place to ensure adherence to the

closure plan of mined-out areas on the principle of sustainable mining (Action: IBM).

3. Appropriate plan for waste management

There is a need to have a plan for waste management in mining areas as well as in mined-

out areas. (Action: IBM).

4. Monitoring system for minor minerals

The State Governments should be encouraged to follow the practices of susta inable mining,

and also to set up a monitoring system for the rehabilitation of minor minerals. (Action:

State Governments, MOM and IBM).

5. Knowledge bank at national level

There is a need to have a knowledge bank at the national level in the context of technology

and methods for the rehabilitation of mined-out areas. (Action: IBM).

6. Capacity Building

Capacity build ing of stakeholders is required with respect to the social and environmental

impacts of mining of major and minor minerals.

8. Start of a dialogue process

There is a need to start a continuous d ialogue and have follow up workshops on the

rehabilitation of mined-out areas at national level, state level and local level. NGOs and civil

society organizations should also be involved in the worksh ops, training sessions and

seminars (Action: State Governments, MOM and IBM, TERI).

7. Focus on socio-economic opportunities for local communities

The livelihood of local communities must be taken care-for example through tourism and

stakeholders must be exposed to the best practices for the rehabilitation of mined-out areas.

This will help enhance the image of the mining industry (Action: Mining Industry and

State Governments).

8. Plantation of multi-purpose species

Remediation and rehabilitation must emph asize the plantation of native, multi-purpose

species that facilitate ecological succession, natural regeneration but also cater to the needs

of local communities by provid ing them with fuel, fodder, timber, fruit and other non -

timber forest products. In addition, such remediation should focus on build ing up local

biodiversity and enhance opportunities for tourism (Action: MOM and IBM).

9. Dovetailing of DMR and CSR funds for mine reclamation

There is a need to dovetail the District Mine Funds (DMR) and CSR (corporate social

responsibility) funds to ensure appropriate mine reclamation (Action: MOM and IBM)

Inaugural Session

The session started with an address by Dr J V Sharma, IFS, Senior Fellow, TERI. He

welcomed the guests and gave an overview of the contribution of the mining sector in India,

and its impact on forest degradation. He also said that we need to address the issues and

challenges of the mined-out areas.

Shri R K Sinha, Controller-General, Indian Bureau of Mines gave an overview on the

reclamation and rehabilitation of mines and mentioned that extent of mining is only 0.1% of

the total geographic area of the country. He pointed out the importance of the initial stag es

in the reclamation process. He also said that reclamation and rehabilitation of smaller mines

is required and these may require d ifferent technologies than those of the major minerals.

He pointed out the enormous potential of reclaimed areas-for example in Canada and

Australia these areas are used for tourism . Shri Sinha mentioned that minor minerals are

under the domain of State Governments and they have to be brought to the mainstream.

There are 1868 operating mines at present. Star-rated mines have to come forward and serve

as a model for others. He also talked about FMCP and that progressive closure has to be

done in rigorous manner. He concluded his remarks by saying that the workshop would

help in describing the best practices in mine reclamation and would help provide a

framework for the mining sector.

Shri Subhash Chandra, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Mines gave his remarks on issues and

challenges in the remediation and rehabilitation of mined out areas. He said that the



Ministry is concerned about the closure of mines as the mining industry provides essential

goods required by the industrial sector. But safeguarding the environment is the main

concern and for this effective and timely rehabilitation measures are required . Non

availability of reliable data related to mining is a major issue and there is an urgent need to

have scientific data for the remediation and rehabilitation of mined-out areas. Better cost-

effective approaches are required for this purpose and we have to use eco-friendly and

sustainable practices. There is also a need for recording the status of rehabilitated mines in

the country. Professional agencies must be employed for this purpose along with local

agencies and the local community.

Shri Balvinder Kumar, Secretary, Ministry of Mines said that this topic is gaining

momentum in our country and a blue print to address this issue should be drafted after the

workshop. He emphasized how man has ruthlessly destroyed his environment for

development and continues to do so. However, he mentioned that countries are working to

find measures to achieve sustainable development. He mentioned that States have been

asked to carry out an exercise for the rehabilitation of areas mined for minor minerals. He

suggested that TERI should help IBM in formulating an action plan for rehabilitation of

abandoned mines. He also pointed out the need to address issues of waste and dumps in the

large mining area which is a big challenge at present. He emphasized the role of some

industries and organizations like Bharat Gold , and FIMI that are taking action to process

mine overburden and extracting useful minerals from it.

In his special address, Dr Ajay Mathur, Director General, The Energy and Resources

Institute said that mining has a disproportionate impact on forest resources, water and air

quality as well as transportation infrastructure. He mentioned the high level of air pollutants

which are region-based and which emanate from mining areas. He made the point that

mining is a predominant factor for air pollution in Eastern India. He further emphasized the

use of mycorrhizae in mined-out areas for nutrient uptake and TERI’s development of

mycorrhizal inoculum for rehabilitating degraded areas. Dr Mathur, highlighted the need

for action, for environmental well-being as well as for human health, and emphasized the

role TERI needs to play in this process.

The vote of thanks was proposed by Shri AB Panigrahi, Controller of Mines, Ministry of

Mines. He summarized the session and d iscussed the availability of funds for the present

system and emphasized the need to generate funds for old , abandoned mines.

Technical Session I: Techniques for mine rehabilitation

Prof V.K Sharma, Indian Institute of Public Administration chaired the session and Shri AK

Srivastava, Former ADG, MoEF&CC was the co-chair. Prof V. K. Sharma set the backdrop

for the session and introduced the topic. Dr. J V Sharma made a presentation on the

rehabilitation of red mud in bauxite-mined areas and explained TERI’s protocols and

experience with soil remediation, tree species plantation and best practices . This research

establishes a methodology to rehabilitate red mud ponds/ dumps through a biological

reclamation process. He also highlighted the need for capacity building and for replication

of this process in other areas mined for bauxite. Prof V K Sharma mentioned the need for

TERI to be involved in more such projects, given their successful approach.

Shri AK Diwakar, Senior Manager, CMPDIL, Dhanbad made a presentation on mine water

utilisation and d iscussed issues related to water stress and the growing demand for water.

Dr Pia Sethi, Fellow, TERI also made a presentation on the restoration of areas mined for

iron ore. She mentioned that there is no recent information available in the land degradation

atlas (SAC, 2016) on the contribution of mining to lan d degradation and the available

information dates back to 2010 (ICAR, 2010). She outlined the d ifferent approaches used , the

efficacy of various approaches including cost efficacy, the need for soil and water

conservation measures and the judicious use of both trees and grasses for soil reclamation.

Dr Sethi emphasized the need to plant multi-purpose species that provide local communities

with a range of products, apart from those species that regenerate well and facilitate

ecological succession. She mentioned that such reclamation needs to be self-sustaining in the

long term and must promote biodiversity.

Shri A.K Srivastava, Former ADG, MoEF&CC spoke on issues of funding which is very

important for effective mine rehabilitation and the responsibility of mine lease holders to

ensure their restoration. He also pointed out that mining is an important economic activity

and this sector requires a positive image. He suggested that all rehabilitation activities must

be supported by a well-made action plan for which the help of institutions like TERI can be

taken. He also emphasized the need to carefully select the trees and plants used for

remediation of mined areas, the need for them to be native species and to avoid the use of

monocultures. Instead the species should enhance local biodiversity. He emphasized the

need to ensure that water is used in a sustainable way, and efforts be enhanced to ensure

survival of the trees that are planted .

Technical Session II: Industry viewpoint

The second technical session was on the industry viewpoint and was chaired by Dr S K

Sarkar, Director, Water Resources and Forestry Division, TERI and Former Secretary, DOPT

and Water Resources and co-chaired by Shri TK Chand, CMD, NALCO. Several industry

representatives made excellent presentations on the best practices adopted by the industry

for the remediation of mined -out areas. Several of the areas had regenerated into forests, or

had been transformed into formal gardens and areas of tourism value. Many innovative

techniques had been utilized , and these rehabilitated areas were some of the best examples

from across India, many of which had been awarded star ratings. In this session,

presentations were made by Shri Pankaj Satija, GM, Novamundi Iron Ore Mines, Tata Steel,

Shri Saleem, Company Secretary, SMOIR , Shri HS Rathore, Vice President, Jamul Cement

Works of M/ s ACC, Shri DK Mohanty, GM Mines, NALCO, Shri Krishna Kulkarni, HSC

Head, SESA Goa, Ms Akansha Gupta, Environmental Engineer, FIMI, Shri Rajesh Ambastha,

AGM Mines, HINDALCO, and Shri RPS Bhatia, CGM, Century Cement.

Dr S K Sarkar concluded the session by lauding the excellent work done by the industries.

He mentioned that after seeing these excellent examples of remediation, it seemed

unfortunate that there was a reluctance to carry out remediation work on mines in the

country. He underlined the need for a dialogue amongst all stakeholders including an

understanding of the d ifficulties faced and ways to overcome the hurdles in the process of

mine reclamation.

Panel discussion on statutory framework and identification of issues for mine rehabilitation

The panel d iscussion was chaired by Shri S. Vijay Kumar, Distinguished Fellow, TERI and

Former Secretary, Ministry of Mines and co-chaired by Shri AK Srivastava, Former ADG,

MoEFCC.



Shri Vijay Kumar introduced the importance of a d iscussion on the statutory framework. He

mentioned that following the requirements of the new mineral concession framework in

2015, a proper blueprint for mine planning and closure needs to be developed . The mined-

out areas must be put to productive use, for the betterment of local communities. There is a

need to bridge the disconnect between the miners and the local communities, and for enhanced trust building between stakeholders. Only a limited number of mine owners have

the potential to close mines in a scientific manner, and hence a way should be identified

which would help the majority of the miners to close the mines in a scientific way.

Moreover, the regulatory procedure for mine owners needs to be practical and

implementable since it must be recognized that the mining industry contributes significantly

to the country’s economy.

Auctioning of the mine before lease is a key issue identified as it is d ifficult to identify the

responsible person to close the mine if the mine is leased out for a second time. The last

lessee may not be willing to bear the cost of mine closure. Based on all these issues, the

Ministry should d irect States to develop a sustainability framework related to closure of

mines.

Mr. A B Panigrahi, Controller of Mines, Indian Bureau of Mines, made a detailed theme

presentation on the statutory framework. He provided definitions of all the ‘Rs’ of mining

including restoration, reclamation, remediation and rehabilitation. He discussed the legal

and regulatory provisions related to reclamation of mines, requirements, responsibility and

accountability in mine closure. His presentation set the tone of the subsequent d iscussions

The Co-Chair Shri A. K. Shrivastava underlined the need for all mines to follow the

principles of sustainable development and for them to strictly comply with all the rules and

regulations. He mentioned the huge gap in the monitoring of mine closure and

rehabilitation. He emphasized the need for adequate remediation to be carried out and

concluded by saying that not just the tree cover but the whole ecosystem must be restored .

Shri R. K. Sinha, Controller-General, Indian Bureau of Mines d iscussed the need to inventory

the old/ abandoned/ orphaned mines of the country by developing a link between the

Central and State governments. Most importantly, the funds and resources available for

closure of mine should be properly identified and tapped. A key concern remains the

closure of mines for minor minerals as scientific closure rarely results.

Dr J V Sharma, Senior Fellow, TERI, addressed the need for the authorities to rethink the

mining statutes and to design compliable conditions for forest and environment approval.

This is because in his opinion few mining lessees completely comply with the current legal

environmental prerequisites. Ecological issues also need to be addressed and the concept of

succession needs to be understood to ensure proper rehabilitation and restoration of mines.

Finally, the best practices for successful mine rehabilitation should be made available in the

public domain to ensure mass d issemination.

Following the d iscussion, three representatives of State Governments, Ms. Sushri Reena

Kangale, Director, Directorate of Geology and Mining, Chhattisgarh , Shri MK Somasekhar,

Joint Director, Department of Geology and Mining, Tamil Nadu , Shri M. Nagaraju, Joint

Director, Department of Mines and Geology, gave their views on the mining situation in

their d istricts and on issues of concern.

Ms. Kangale (Chhattisgarh) outlined what had been achieved in the d istricts she had

worked in for mine rehabilitation and for the local communities. She s tressed the need for

States to help the Ministry with the restoration of mines. She mentioned the lack of

communication on good practices and that it was the responsibility of the miners to

guarantee sustainable livelihood s for the local communities as they are d irectly or indirectly

impacted by the mine. The mining lessees should also help the communities build their

capacity to ensure proper livelihood s.

Shri Somesekhar (Tamil Nadu) said that Tamil Nadu is not dependent on mining income.

He d iscussed the issue of closure of mines and the issues for 2nd or 3rd lessees for mine

closure. The Centre should regularly help the States to decide the time of mine closure

through proper geological studies.

Shri M. Nagaraju (Andhra Pradesh) highlighted the issue of abandoned mines and lack of

availability of funds for remediation work. He suggested the use of DMF funds for mine

reclamation and the need for guidelines to be drafted to ensure usage of these funds for this

purpose.

Concluding Session

In the final session, the group deliberated on some specific aspects of mine remediation

raised during the day, and arrived at decisions to move ahead . Shri Vijay Kumar,

Distinguished Fellow, TERI and Former Secretary, Ministry of Mines, Shri Subhash

Chandra, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Mines and Shri NK Singh, Joint Secretary, Ministry of

Mines gave the concluding remarks. Shri R K Sinha Controller -General, Indian Bureau of

Mines made a presentation of the day’s proceedings and summarised the important issues

raised . It was suggested that the Indian Bureau of Mines set up institutions to facilitate and

ensure regular interaction with the stakeholders. In addition, the Ministry highlighted the

need to develop proper rehabilitation and remediation plans for mines. It was decided that

the mines should not just be closed but must be properly reclaimed to reduce its impacts on

the environment. Both District Mine Funds (DMR) and CSR (corporate social

responsibility?) funds should be dovetailed and used for mine reclamation. Civil society also

needed to be efficiently involved and good practices marketed and publicised . The

workshop ended with a vote of thanks by Mr. Yatish Lele of TERI.
