5.2 Emissions from production
processes.
No Dust is the main pollutant which will be
generated from vehicle movement, blasting of
rocks, crushing of ores. The dust particles shall
be so small to be suspended or carried by wind.
Deposited dust particles of different sizes that
are greater than about 10 to 20 microns settle
17
out of the air.
Suspended particulate matter remains
suspended in the air for significant period of
time, for several minutes.
Dust is managed by the following methods:-
Watering haul roads.
Wet drilling.
Water sprays where required.

5.3 Emissions from materials
handling including storage or
transport
Yes There will be fugitive emission generated during
material handling, drilling, blasting,
transportation etc. Dust will be generated while
handling material by shovels/ excavators,
transportation by dumpers on haul roads and
unloading at mineral stacks and waste dumps.
Regular water sprinkling on haul roads will
suppress the dust particles and prevent them
from getting air-borne.
Transportation
Movement of vehicles like dumper trucks,
tankers etc. will also generate dust from the
agitation of unpaved surface. The transportation
activities on unpaved area results in fugitive
emissions to the tune of 0.108 kg/sq.m/hr.
Loading
Dust emission is generated as the material is
loaded into dumpers by excavators.
Haul road/ Overburden handling
The mineral mass will be fragmented and
released by blasting and carried over to stacks
loaded into haulage trucks. These operations will
produce dust emissions during loading,
unloading and transportation of the material
from the pit.
5.4 Emissions from construction
activities including plant and
equipment
Yes The level of construction in the area will be
around 40,000 sq. meters, which will generate
fugitive emission during the construction phase
only to the tune of 0.000805 kg/sq.m/hr (USEPA
standards for fugitive emissions during
construction) .This will be controlled by
cordoning the construction area.
5.5 Dust or odors from handling of Yes The sewage treatment plant will be of anaerobic
19
materials including construction
materials, sewage and waste.
nature followed by aerobic process, which will
have negligible odour. The dust generation
during construction activities will be restricted
within permissible limits.
5.6 Emissions from incineration of
waste
No No waste will be incinerated.
5.7 Emissions from burning of waste
in open air (e.g. slash materials,
construction debris)
No None.

crushers
Yes The major sources of noise will be during
operation of D.G. sets, crushers, transportation,
drilling, loading and unloading of minerals and
waste.
The following measures will be adopted to
control the noise and vibration : -
a. Regular maintenance of machinery.
b. Tree plantation along haul road and around
beneficiation plant.
c. Equipments like earmuffs, ear plugs are
commonly used devices for hearing
protection.
d. Controlled blasting will be practiced, which
produces very less noise.
e. Blasting will be avoided in the morning and
evening hours, on foggy days, at night time
and at the times of high wind velocity and
low cloud cover.

will be blasted in the mine. Blasting will be done
in sequence by delay detonators, one for each
row and having different delay numbers for
controlling blasting and vibration.
6.5 From construction or
operational traffic
yes Due to vehicular traffic and material
transportation within the lease area, noise will
be generated. However, the expected noise levels
will be well maintained within the DGMS and
21
CPCB norms.
6.6 From lighting or cooling systems Yes The area is devoid of any kind of industrial
activities in the area, however, coming up of the
project will cause night illumination in the area
causing:
• Light pollution which will be restricted using
cut-off shield fixtures on site.
• Ensuring that all lights strike a surface
directly and do not point at the sky or
surroundings. It will be kept minimum,
conforming to safety norms.
• EMF radiations at site will be reduced by
ensuring that construction supply
connection is adequate for the task, using
line filters on the mains connecting cables,
installing power factor correction
equipments.
