project proponent is intending to

retain 10 percent of total excavated

pit as rain water storage area. The

remaining area will be reclaimed

with stacked dumping of

overburden and top soil. As part of

its eco- restoration plan, the project

will plant indigenous plant species

that are eco-friendly on the

reclaimed areas.

The project proponent shall ensure that

no natural water course and/or water

resources shall be obstructed

due to any mining operations.

Necessary safeguard measures to

protect the first order streams, if any,

originating from the mine lease shall be

There is no such natural water

course or thodu is flowing along

the project site. The project will

ensure the natural runoff of storm

water. No stream is originating

from the lease area.

C-42

Monitoring of Ambient Air Quality to

be carried out based on the Notification

2009, as amended from time to time by

the Central Pollution Control Board.

Water sprinkling should be increased at

places loading and unloading points &

transfer point to reduce fugitive dust

emissions.

The project proponent has been

monitoring the ambient air quality

as per National Ambient Air quality

standard (NAAQS) by a NABL

approved laboratory. The project is

intending to increase the splashing

of water at unloading and transfer

point. This activity can reduce the

fugitive emission.

C-43

The top soil, if any, shall temporarily

be stored at the places earmarked

site(s) only for the topsoil shall be used

for land reclamation and plantation.

during the mining operations shall be

stacked at earmarked dumpsite(s) only.

The maximum height of the dumps

shall not exceed 8m and width 20m

and Over all slope of dumps shall be

maintained to 45⁰.The OB dumps

should be scientifically vegetated with

suitable native species to prevent

erosion and surface runoff. In critical

areas, use of geo textiles shall be

undertaken for stabilization of the

dump. The entire excavated area shall

be backfilled. Monitoring and

management of rehabilitated areas

should continue until the vegetation

becomes self- sustaining.

To prevent the soil erosion, the top soil

and overburden is stacking in a

designated place within the project site.

Only topsoil will be used for

plantation. Overburden will be used for

landfill and to construct haulage roads

in the mining area. The excess will be

stored in a designated place. The

Environment Monitoring Cell will

monitor the execution of eco

restoration.

C-44

Catch drains and siltation ponds of

appropriate size shall be constructed

around the m i n e w o r k i n g ,

m i n e r a l and OB dumps to prevent

run off water and flow of sediments

directly in to the river and other water

bodies. The water so collected should

be utilized for watering the mine area,

roads, green development etc. The

drains shall be regularly desalted

particularly after monsoon and

maintained properly.

The project proponent will

construct effective garland drains to

catch all the storm water during the

time of monsoon season. These

channels directed the water to the

rain water collection pond. All

sediments and silts are settling at

the bottom of the pond and only

cleared water is letting out.

C-45

Effective safeguard measures such as

regular water sprinkling shall be

carried out in critical areas prone to air

pollution and having high levels of

PM1O and PM2.5 such as haul road,

loading and unloading point and

transfer points - it shall be ensured that

the ambient air quality parameters

conform to the norms prescribed by the

central pollution control board in this

regard.

The project proponent is regularly

checking the pollution of all

vehicles in the site and spraying

water in critical areas. The project

proponent is intending increase the

number of sprinklers in critical area

to reduce the dust emission such as

loading and unloading point, haul

roads and transfer points. The

ambition air quality will be

monitored with the help of an

approved laboratory.

C-46

Fugitive dust emissions from all the

sources should be controlled regularly.

Water spraying arrangement on haul

roads, loading and unloading and at

transfer points should be provided and

properly maintained.

To prevent dust emission, the

project proponent has installed

sprinklers in critical area to reduce

the dust emission such as loading

and unloading points, haul roads

and transfer points. The water

spraying has been carried out

regularly to arrest the dust emission.

C-47

Measures should be taken for control of

noise levels below 85dBA in the work

environment.

The noise level from all activities

will not go beyond 85dBA. The

project proponent will take

appropriates action to reduce the

sound by employing possible

measure. These are mentioned

under the condition number 11.

C-48

A separate environmental management

cell with suitable qualified personnel

should be set-up under the control of a

Senior Executive, who will report

directly to the Head of the

Organization.

To monitor all condition stipulated

in the Environment Clearance and

environment Management Plan, the

project will constitute an

Environment Monitoring cell with

Mr. V. Somasekharan Nair as the

head of the cell.

C-49

The funds earmarked for environmental

protection measures and CSR activities

should be kept in separate account and

should not be diverted for other

purposes. Year wise expenditure should

be reported to the District Environment

Impact Assessment Authority

(SEIAA) office.

The project proponent could

execute many activities under

Corporate Social Responsibility

(CSR) for community development.

To implement these activities in a

good manner, the project proponent

will open an account for keeping

the funds earmarked for

environmental protection and CSR.
