    BASIS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT

    Water is not directly used during mining for coal production. It percolates into working area during mining operation. However, water is consumed for other purposes; mainly for domestic supply, industrial supply. Part B of the proforma contains detailed break-up of water consumption.

    2.0 Raw materials used in coal mining activities are explosives and POL for machines and automobiles, steel, timber, cement, etc.

    3.0 Pollution discharged into water has been calculated on the basis of water analysis and identified water pollutants. The main pollutants in mine water are suspended solids. The other sources of pollution in the effluent from various processes include oil and grease (from Workshop and CHP).

    2. Ambient air quality is monitored to study the level of air pollution. CHP has been indicated as fugitive source in reports and mobile sources are HEMM moving on haul road, blasting, exhaust from vehicles and HEMMs, loose materials of OB dumps and burning of coal.

    5.0 Mining activity produces less quantity of hazardous waste; and it is shown in Part D of Form V.

    6.0 Solid waste produced from mining activities is overburden (OB) material. Recycling process of this material is normally done by suitably backfilling the same in the extracted portion of the quarry.

    4.0 The pollution abatement measures for the sake of Environmental Statement are :

    - Dust suppression by water spray;- Afforestation;- OB Dump Reclamation;- Water spraying to prevent burning of coal.

    5.0 Items identical under Part H of the proforma are those items which the Consultants have felt necessary which is also true for Part I in order to help Western Coalfields Limited to organise their abatement efforts for performing mining activities without adversely affecting the environment.

    BASIS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT

    Water is not directly used during mining for coal production. It percolates into working area during mining operation. However, water is consumed for other purposes; mainly for domestic supply, industrial supply. Part B of the proforma contains detailed break-up of water consumption.

    2.0 Pollution discharged into water has been calculated on the basis of water analysis and identified water pollutants. The main pollutants in mine water are suspended solids. The other sources of pollution in the effluent from various processes include oil and grease.

    - Ambient air quality is monitored to study the level of air pollution.

    4.0 Mining activity produces less quantity of hazardous waste; and it is shown in Part D of Form V.

    3. Solid waste produced in case of underground mining is very negligible.

    7.0 The pollution abatement measures for the sake of Environmental Statement are :

    6.0 Dust suppression by water spray;7.0 Afforestation;

    - Items identical under Part H of the proforma are those items which the Consultants have felt necessary which is also true for Part I in order to help Western Coalfields Limited to organise their abatement efforts for performing mining activities without adversely affecting the environment.

  • CHAPTER IIIBASIS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT

    Water is not directly used during mining for coal production. It percolates into working area during mining operation. However, water is consumed for other purposes; mainly for domestic supply, industrial supply. Part B of the proforma contains detailed break-up of water consumption.

    2.0 Raw materials used in coal mining activities are explosives and POL for machines and automobiles, steel, timber, cement, etc.

    3.0 Pollution discharged into water has been calculated on the basis of water analysis and identified water pollutants. The main pollutants in mine water are suspended solids. The other sources of pollution in the effluent from various processes include oil and grease (from Workshop and CHP).

    (iii) Ambient air quality is monitored to study the level of air pollution. CHP has been indicated as fugitive source in reports and mobile sources are HEMM moving on haul road, blasting, exhaust from vehicles and HEMMs, loose materials of OB dumps and burning of coal.

    5.0 Mining activity produces less quantity of hazardous waste; and it is shown in Part D of Form V.

    8.0 Solid waste produced from mining activities is overburden (OB) material. Recycling process of this material is normally done by suitably backfilling the same in the extracted portion of the quarry.

    4. The pollution abatement measures for the sake of Environmental Statement are :

    - Dust suppression by water spray;- Afforestation;- OB Dump Reclamation;- Water spraying to prevent burning of coal.

    5. Items identical under Part H of the proforma are those items which the Consultants have felt necessary which is also true for Part I in order to help Western Coalfields Limited to organise their abatement efforts for performing mining activities without adversely affecting the environment.

    IMPACTS OF POLLUTION CONTROL MEASURES ON CONSERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND CONSEQUENTLY ON COAL PRODUCTION.

    The brief summary of Pollution Control Measures taken for this mine is as under :

    G.0 In order to carry out mining operations in an environmentally, friendly and planned manner, the sources of pollution were identified and measures were suggested to keep them within permissible limits.

    G.1 SOURCES OF AIR POLLUTION

    The likely sources of air pollution are as under :

    - Drilling operation;- Blasting operation;

    - Loading and transportation of Coal/OB;- Wind Erosion of Coal Stock/OB Dumps;- Haul Road/Coal Transportation Roads;- Exhaust from vehicular movement.

  • G.1.1 Measures for Control of Air Pollution

    For control of air pollution, measures suggested are :

    - Regular use of dust extraction devices while drilling holes for blasting;

    - Regular water sprinkling on coal faces, benches, coal stocks, black topped metal roads and haul roads;

    - Measures of reclaiming OB dumps (Biological Reclamation) and backfilling of the voids to the maximum possible extent.

    - Tree plantation along the periphery of the quarry, CHP, around other service buildings along the sides of permanent haul road and open land;

    - Regular cleaning of coal transportation road.

    G.1.2 Implementation Status

    - Water sprinkling is done on coal stock and before its transportation on coal faces, benches and haul roads;

    - 18,750 nos tree plantation will be done over 7.50 ha area.

    G.2 WATER POLLUTION

    G.2.1 Sources of Water Pollution

    The identified sources of water pollution are as under :

    - TDS and TSS due to mining operation present in the mine water (mainly coal particles);

    - Oil and Grease from Workshop/CHP Effluent.

    G.2.2 Water Pollution Control Measures

    - The main pollutant responsible for water pollution is suspended solids. Sedimentation pond should be provided to take care of this pollutant.

  • G.2.3 Implementation Status

    - A large portion of mine water is being utilised for dust suppression and fire fighting. The excess water is retained in the sump before discharged into surface body.

    - ETP has been provided for workshop effluents.

    G.3 NOISE POLLUTION

    G.3.1 Sources of Noise Pollution

    The sources of noise pollution are as under :

    - Drilling Operation;- Blasting Operation;- Operation of CHP;- Operation of Shovels and Dumpers;- Workshop.

    G.3.2 Noise Pollution Control Measures suggested

    The measures for reduction of noise level as envisaged in the EMP are as under :

    - Selection of mining equipments so as to keep noise level below 85 dB(A);

    - Provision of Ear Plugs for operators exposed for long duration of time;

    - Provision of green belt around Workshop, CHP and other sensitive areas;

    - Limitation of blasting operation between 12.00 Noon to 2.30 PM.

    G.3.3 Implementation Status

    - Mining equipment are kept in good condition to reduce noise level.

    - Blasting operation is done during 12.00 Noon to 2.30 PM;
