3.3 Give review of earlier approved proposal (if any) in respect of exploration, excavation, reclamation etc.

3.3.1(a):Exploration:

Director of Geology & Mining along with TANCEM carried out systematic exploration of the

area in the year 1984-85. By exploratory core & Noncore boreholes were drilled covering

almost the entire strike length. The drill holes were drilled regular grid pattern.

The geological mapping was done on the topographic plan, which is the base map, prepared

on a scale of 1: 4000, with a contour interval of 1 meter. .

Diamond drill holes and Wagon drill holes were placed at closer intervals (i.e.) 400 M and

200M respectively. The bore holes within the lease area were drilled in grid pattern running

NE-SW direction. Geological cross sections were prepared, on a scale of 1: 2000, along -the

dip direction, joining the diamond drill holes drilled along the grid line (Please refer Plate-3 &

3a).

The details of drilling, sampling and other exploration done in the area of GO MS 624 are given

below.

The exploration of the area reveals the presence of limestone and associated litho units of

varying thickness throughout the area.

During the scheme period 2016-17 to 2020-2021, the exploration proposals has been made in

the regular grid and will be put in between the earlier bore holes to know the deposit and

further enhancement of reserves. As per the discussions had the company officials, at the

present period of scheme of mining the company has proposed the total of 20 nos. coring bore

holes from the year 2017-18 to 2020-21 at the rate of 5 bore holes in every proposal period as

per the UNFC guidelines.

there was no production during the year 2016-17 and at the end of year 2017-18 in the month

of February second 2018; the company has started mining operation.

During scheme mining period, the production was commenced in the year 2016-17 to tune of

previous land owners and demanding their permanent employment with the company. Due to

employment / agitation made by land given people and local villagers to the company, there

was no production during the year 2016-17 and at the end of year 2017-18 in the month of

February second 2018; the company has started mining operation.

3.3.1C: Exploitation of Mineral:



In the previous approved scheme of mining, the production was projected as 2.60 lakh Tons

It may be seen from above that production could not be achieved as per the targeted

production of the previous scheme period year 2016-17 and 2017-18, are due to the following

reasons

---Cost of Mining & Transportation

---Administrative issues of M/s. TANCEM due to the local social problem by previous land

owners and demanding their permanent employment with the company. Due to employment /

agitation made by land given people and local villagers to the company, there was no

production during the year 2016-17 and at the end of year 2017-18 in the month of February

second 2018; the company has started mining operation.

3.3.1(d): Method of mining:

The method of working is opencast (A category fully mechanized) adopting non-conventional

method by deploying rock breaker for primary and secondary breaking eliminating drilling and

blasting thus adopting eco-friendly mining.

Primary and Secondary Breaking: Mega Rock Breaker of 150 TPH capacity will be deployed

for primary breaking and dilution of oversize boulders which will totally eliminate drilling and

blasting.



Loading and hauling: Excavator will be used for loading the material on to the tippers

(hauling units) which will be used for transportation of mineral from the mines to crusher at

plant site and for handling the overburden / reject.

Rock breaker will be used for primary breaking wherever required and also for reduction of

oversize boulders instead of secondary blasting.

No drilling and blasting is envisaged during the modifications to the approved mining plan

during 2018-19 to 2020-21.

3.3.1(f): Disposal of waste:

The nature of top soil is Black cotton soil and has been removed and dumped all along the

mine lease boundary for the Afforestation purposes. No sub-grade ore or mineral rejects is

generated during the scheme period.

During the year 2016-17 to year 2017-18 of the plan period, no top soil was proposed. The

entire topsoil in the mineable area of the lease area will be removed and will be utilised

straight away for afforestation/ green belt purpose.

The mineral reject generated during mining will also be stacked along the western boundary in

a separate dump yard.

Dimensions of the waste dump are given below :

3.3.1(g): Environment Management:

There is no production from this lease due to local social problem by previous land owners and

demanding their permanent employment with the company.

During scheme of mining period, impact of mining activities on the environment was very less.

The mining operation was started in the year 03.02.2018; subsequently the production was

commenced in the year 2018-19 to the tune of 260000 tons only.

During the previous scheme period of mining afforestation proposals were made, however it

Resources and Reserves within the lease may be arrived after applying results feasibility/pre-

feasibility study and economic evaluation of deposit based on various factors such as:

a) Mining method, Recovery factor, mining losses, processing loss etc.

b) Cut off grade, Ultimate pit depth proposed.

Cut-off grade

The Mining Lease area is located in the state of Tamil nadu the threshold value and cut off grade of

limestone as per circular 3/2010 of IBM (Indian Bureau of Mines) is given below:

Limiting Values CaO% MgO% SiO2

Threshold values 35.00 4.00 18.00

Cut Off Grades 35.00 1.00 18.00

Keeping in view the exploitation of limestone for the manufacture of cement, the process parameters

of LSF (Lime Saturation Factor), SM (Silica Modulus) and AM (Alumina Modulus) should also be

satisfied from the material being fed to the plant. The expected range of the as above parameters is

as follows:

Parameters Range

LSF 0-85 – 1.10

SM 2.20 – 2.80

AM 1.20 – 2.50

From the grade of limestone given above it can be observed that the limestone from this leasehold

satisfied all the requisite parameters required for manufacture of cement.

Grade control:



As per the norms prescribed by NCBM (National council for Cement and Building Materials) the broad

chemical specifications of cement grade ROM limestone are as follows:

CaO%

Acceptable range for manufacture of OPC 44-52

Limiting values taking into consideration Min. 40

type of cements, scope of beneficiation and blending

Thus, limestone with at least 44% CaO is required in the ROM for manufacture of cement and

limestone above 40% CaO can be used if beneficiation is provided or higher grade limestone is

available which can be blended to upgrade the lower grade limestone upto 44% CaO. The quality of

available high grade ore in Anandavadi limestone is of 47.5% CaO content and having less Fe2 O3 &

MgO, and this can be blended well with the Kallankurichi deposit limestone materials which are having

high Fe2 O3 and less SiO2. The present blending technique and raw mix design is given below.

During the enhancement of limestone production and Cement capacity of plant, the blending

technique and raw mix design will be modified according to the available grade of limestone and

limestone from new mining leases in future.

Grade of Limestone:

The limestone is yellow color fine to medium grain bedded in nature and fossiliferous. The marl is pale

yellow and powder in nature overlained by red soil. The purity of limestone is about 70 to 80% TCO3

with little MgCO3. The SiO2 content is ranging from 10-18% in the entire mining area.

The variation in the chemical behavior of this limestone & marl is summarized below

Category of mine.

The method of working is opencast mining considering various technical parameters like

surface topography, continuation of limestone deposit, quality variations, geo-technical

aspects, required rate of production etc.,

The method of working is opencast (A Category fully mechanized) adopting non-

conventional method by deploying rock breaker for primary and secondary breaking

to be shown for identification of the suitable dumping site.

Present Pit dimension as follows:

For North pit:

For South pit:

A sump is being developed in the Eastern side of the pit to collect the surface water.

Presently in view of supplying raw material to the cement field, yearly production from this mine is

proposed to adopt A category fully mechanized method of mining.

The nature of top soil is Black cotton soil and the same has been removed and dumped all along the

mine lease boundary. No sub-grade ore or mineral rejects is generated during the modifications to

the approved mining plan period.

Refer Plate No.8

The following factors have been considered for arriving at the ultimate pit limits.

Ultimate pit limit has been determined based on the mineral economics and quality of limestone from

the bore hole data. The ultimate size of the pit is ------- ha.

This ultimate pit limit is marked on the Geological plan and conceptual plan.

Ultimate pit Dimension :

Leaving safety barriers on all sides as per rules, the rest of the lease area will be worked out.

South 1100 M 700 M 3 25M 450

The total excavated area shall be around 60.685Ha at the end of mining operations. It is proposed

to convert part of the mined out area as an artificial pond to store rainwater and the remaining by

back filling with rejects (sandstone). The area is arid and has a low rainfall about 900mm/yr.

Therefore the water stored from rainfall could be used as reservoir in the locality helping the

neighboring villagers. The reservoir will have an enough potential to store water. The water in the

reservoir thus located shall improve bore well irrigation.

The undisturbed virgin lease area along the mining lease boundary shall be utilized for agricultural

purposes by developing the area with eucalyptus and causurina plants with co ordination of Forest

department and TNPL. This work shall be done after the cessation of mining operations.

This aspect has been considered in detail. Accordingly conceptual mining plan is drawn. There is

adequate space for dumping waste rock. After the mine reaches the ultimate depth waste stacked

in the ear marked location will be spread as top capping in the reclaimed area to improve the

growth of vegetation.

The total quantity of top soil black cotton soil material has been stacked all along the mining lease

boundary and in the eisting top soil dump location area earmarked in the plated no. 6A to 6C



As the mining has not yet reached the ultimate pit limit, there is no proposal for reclamation during

this modification period.

Mineable reserve and anticipated life of the mines:

The proved mineral reserves are 18.58 Mil.T of limestone, having the proposed exploitation fo

mineral of 1.5 million tons per annum, the life of the mine will come around 12.38 years, say 13

years. Hence the life of mine is 13 years only with respect to the proposed production rate..

However the life of the mining may be extended in future depending upon the availability of other

fresh leases.

intersected 30 to 35 meters from the surface

b) Indicate maximum and minimum depth of Workings.

Minimum depth of mine working is 21 m and maximum depth 25m

c) Quantity and quality of water likely to be encountered, the pumping arrangements and

places where the mine water is finally proposed to be discharged .

The main source of ground water in the area is rainfall. The average rainfall per year in the area is

900mm. At the end of the plan period of excavated area, the water encountered in the mine shall be

collected in a sump which shall be at a level lower then the actual mine floor and the collected water

sump shall be utilized for spraying on the haul roads and for plantation. The resident water shall be

pumped out in to a channel to the nearby pond.

d) Describe regional and local drainage pattern. Also indicate annual rain fall, catchments

area, and likely quantity of rain water to flow through the lease area, arrangement for arresting

solid wash off etc.

Ground water is the main source in this area, apart from rain in the monsoon period. The water table is

intersected 40 to 45 meters from the surface. The ground water will be collected in the sump for the

deposition of solid particles. Once the suspended particles are deposited it will be pumped out for

domestic purpose, dust suppression system, gardening and Afforestation purpose. The excess water

only will be pumped out to the nalla /closer water bodies – pond after the deposition of solid particles.

There are no toxic elements found in the sump water.

The water table is found at a depth of 30 metres in rainy season and at 35m in dry season. To cope up

with storm water and seepage water, an energy efficient electrical pump of 20H.P capacity will be

installed and the discharge will be let-out in the nallah/Pond.

Garland drains will be made all along the periphery of dumpsites to prevent the water carrying the



wash-offs from the dumps and topsoil yard entering into the mines. The water collected in the garland

drains will flow towards a settling tank formed near by the dumpsite. The water will be allowed to settle

the wash offs from the dumps in the settling tank and pure & clear water will be utilized for

afforestation purposes and for wetting of haul roads to arrest the dust generation.

Average rainfall in this area during Northeast Monsoon is around 900 mm.

4.0 STACKING OF MINERAL REJECT /SUB GRADE MATERIAL AND DISPOSAL OF WASTE

a) Indicate briefly the nature and quantity of top soil, overburden / waste and Mineral

Reject to be disposed off.

The mining lease area is covered by Red soil of 0.0 to o.50 Mtrs. thickness. The test results of soil

samples collected from this area prove that the soil cover over is suitable for agriculture and for

afforestation purpose.

The chemical composition of top soil and waste rock as follows.

Nature and Quality of Top soil

There will be no handling of Topsoil & overburden during the scheme period. The top soil of very

meager quantity encountered will be temporarily stacked along the mining lease boundary and

consumed parallely for the afforestation purposes.

The waste generated during the mining operations is topsoil & waste rock sandstone. The nature of

the waste is sandstone. The chemical composition of waste is as follows.

LOI SiO2 Al2O3 Fe2O3 CaO MgO 13.80 59.50 11.70 7.20 5.20 1.30

The Topsoil removed during the year 2000-01 to 2010-11 around 1.12 lakh Tons is dumped in the

existing dumpyard given in the eastern side of the lease area. During the last scheme fperiod no top

soil and waste has been generated due to the quality and technical constriants of the deposit.

yard as well as in the proposed dump yard with in the mining lease area. The location of existing and

proposed dump yards is shown in the plate No.3, 4 & 6.

b) The proposed dumping ground within the lease area be proved for presence or

absence of mineral and be outside the UPL unless simultaneous backfilling is

proposed or purely temporary dumping for a short period is proposed in mineralized area

with technical constraints & justification.

Dumping will be done in advancing method. During the last Eleven-year plan 1.12 lakh tons of Top soil

/ waste rock has been removed and has been stacked in the existing dump in non mineral bearing

area earmarked in the lease hold area and top soil has been utilized for stacking in the safety barrier

zone all along the mining lease boundary for Afforestation purpose. The total quantity of about

2250000 tons of waste will be generated during the proposed production of limestone in this

modification to the approved mining plan period. This quantity will be stacked in the existing dump

yard as well as in the proposed dump yard with in the mining lease area. The location of existing and

proposed dump yards is shown in the plate No.3 & 5 to 9.

c) Attach a note indicating the manner of disposal of waste, configuration and sequence of

year wise build up of dumps along with the proposals for protective measures.

Dumping will be done in advancing method. During the last Eleven-year plan 1.12 lakh tons of Top soil

/ waste rock has been removed and has been stacked in the existing dump in non mineral bearing

area earmarked in the lease hold area and top soil has been utilized for stacking in the safety barrier

zone all along the mining lease boundary for Afforestation purpose.

Location of Dump:

The overburden and the interstitial rejects are disposed by dumping them in the dump yards. The

reject dump yards are located in the barren, non-mineral bearing areas in the mining lease area. The

dump yards have been planned and formed in such a manner so as to facilitate safe and convenient

dumping operations as per the guidelines give by IBM.

The angle of repose of the dump yard is 450. The proposed dumps are located within the distance of

about 100 to 200 mts from the respective working mines. The proposed dumps are shown in the year



wise production and development plan (Plate No. 6A to 6C).

Maximum Spread and Height of Dumps:

The total quantity of Top soil / waste rock of about 1.12 Lakh Ton ( 75000 M3) generated during the

last 11 years period and it was used concurrently for the afforestation purpose and the remaining

quantity is stacked temporarily in the dump yard and Safety Zone.

Existing top soil / waste rock Dump Configuration along the periphery.

Dump Length (m) Width (m) Height (m)



Proposed Top soil and waste dump configurations are shown in the year wise and developmental

plans and sections in plate nos. 6A to 6C.

Stabilization and vegetation of dumps

During the previous years of operation, the quantity of topsoil / waste rock dumped is meager and with

minimum height of 1 metre to 1.5 metre there will not be possibility for slope instability. Hence the

question of vegetation of dumps does not arise. Moreover, the dumped topsoil during mining operation

will be removed and used for afforestation purposes.

Measures to control erosion / sedimentation

There is no any major nallahs nearby the workings. So there will not be any problem regarding

erosion. Moreover there is no major dumps, which may be exposed to erosion, and hence no

sedimentation also. If at all the water course filled with sediments, it will be cleared every year after

monsoon. Only the surface wafer, which is a source of erosion, is diverted by forming the bunds.

5.0 USE OF MINERAL AND MINERAL REJECT

The following are to be furnished in the interest of mineral conservation.

a) Describe briefly the requirement of end-use industry specifically in terms of physical and

chemical composition.



The entire mineral mined will be used for the manufacture of different types of cements in the our own

b) Give brief requirement of intermediate industries involved in up gradation of mineral before

its end-use.

The entire limestone is used for own cement manufacturing purpose and the end product is cement

c) Give detail requirements for other industries, captive consumption, export, associated

industrial use etc.

The mined out limestone will be exclusively for captive use in the company’s cement plant.

d) Indicate precise physical and chemical specification stipulated by buyers .

The mineral limestone to be raised from this mine shall be solely for captive use for the manufacture of

cement. The limestone is not for sale nor shall it be exported

e) Give details of processes adopted to upgrade the ROM to suit the user requirements.

The limestone is of cement grade and no sub-grade mineral is encountered. Hence, the company will

consume it in it’s own cement plant.

6.0 PROCESSING OF ROM AND MINERAL REJECT

a) If processing / beneficiation of the ROM or Mineral Reject is planned to be conducted, briefly

describe nature of processing / beneficiation. This may indicate size and grade of feed

material and concentrate (finished marketable product), recovery etc.



No processing or beneficiation of the ore or mineral mined is planned to be conducted on site or

adjacent to the extraction areas. The mined material shall be loaded and transported to the crusher

located at the plant. Apart from crushing no processing or beneficiation of the mineral is involved.

b) Give a material balance chart with a flow sheet or schematic diagram of the processing

procedure indicating feed, product, recovery, and its grade at each stage of processing.

before their disposal and dealing of excess water from the tailings dam.

No processing or beneficiation of the mineral is involved.

e) Specify quantity and type of chemicals if any to be used in the processing plant.

No processing / beneficiation is proposed to be conducted, therefore, no chemical(s) shall be used

f) Specify quantity and type of chemicals to be stored on site / plant.

No chemicals shall be stored at site / plant

g) Indicate quantity (cum per day) of water required for mining and processing and sources of

supply of water, disposal of water and extent of recycling Water balance chart may be given.

No water shall be required for processing. Water shall be required in mining for dust suppression at

faces and on the haul roads, cleaning and washing of HEME and plantation. Apart from the above

water shall also be required for drinking and cleaning purposes. The estimated quantum of water

requirement shall be to the tune of 40 m3/day. Ground water pumped out through tube wells and as

the mine develops the water accumulated in the dump shall be utilized to meet the above requirement.

No waste water is likely to be generated from the mines. Only water used under high pressure for

cleaning of HEME in the workshop can be guided and passed into the green belt. The water used for

spraying the mine face or haul road shall either absorbed by the ground or get evaporated. Thus no

recycling of water in the mines is foreseen.

Information with regard to the following.

Hence environmental impact due to limestone production up to 15.0 lakh tons / annum during the

forthcoming years, M/S Tamilnadu Cement Corporation Ltd has engaged an environmental

consultant for seasonal monitoring. The company has appointed the environmental consultant for

preparing the EIA report for the enhanced quantity of 15.0 lakhs tons per annum of limestone. The

.copy of work order issued to environmental consultant for preparing EIA / MOEF report is

enclosed as Annexure-.14.

(ii) Water regime

The Nallah is passing across the lease area and flowing from NNE to SW of the lease area. It

drains the area and joins the local water body in the south and western portion of the ML area.

The Nallah is not perennial. It is dry during the major part of the year but is subject to occasional

flash floods.

The ground water table is about 30 to 35 metres below the ground during the summer and it

raises during rainy season.

(iii) Flora & Fauna:

Flora: The area adjacent to the mining lease is occupied by vegetation and other species. In the

buffer-zone area of five kilometers, we find neem, babul etc., on bunds. Natural vegetation like

grasses and wild shrubs grow during the monsoon, which is useful for grazing and in the summer,

they dry out. Density of flora will be around 100 trees / hectare.

Fauna: The fauna that is obtained within the buffer zone are common varieties like foxes,

jackals, mongoose and rats etc. In the amphibian and reptile category monitor lizard, cobra, viper,

krait, chameleons are found. The insects are honey bee, wasp, beetle, termites, bugs,

mosquitoes, scorpion, red ants etc.

The fauna found in the area are of common variety and thus no endangered species are found in

the study area.

Base line data generation for air, noise level, ground vibration will be discussed in detail after the

completion of one season monitoring. Presently the various environmental parameters are

discussed based on the available data.

(iv) Quality of air:

Generally the dust level in the air is kept within the limit. The maximum concentration of air

pollutants at different- stations during the study indicates that the highest 24 hour concentration of

S P.M. was 260.6mg/m3 at TAI Station (Anandavadi village) and well within the CPCB limits .

The maximum 24 hour concentration of SO2 was 7.6 mg/m3 at station TA4 (Sendurai) and is well

within the prescribed limits of CPCB (80mg/m3).

Similarly the maximum 24 hour concentration of NOX was 16.8 mg/m3 at station TA2 (Maruvathur)

and is well within the prescribed CPCB limits (120 mg/m3).

Hence there will not be any bad impact on Air quality by mining, to the entire life of the mine.

In case of source samples, the SPM level recorded has been a maximum of 1659.6.50

micrograms /m3 near haulage road (source sample) requiring suitable management measures.

The CO level in the ambient air samples was found to be below detecting level.

(v) Noise level:

Noise level is kept under check. Adequate measures will be taken up to control the noise level and

also to provide appliances to the operators to avoid noise pollution if any.

The maximum and average of this noise levels in the 0 - 3 KM zone are 90 dB(A) and 74 dB(A)

respectively. Whereas in 3-8 KM zone the same have been reported to be 71 dB(A) and 52 dB(A)

respectively. In the 8-10 KM zone the maximum noise level recorded is 68 dB(A) and the average

is 51 dB(A).

Hence there will not be any damage risk for hearing loss, by the mining activities, upto the mine life

period.

To reduce the noise level efforts will be made by proper maintenance schedule, placement of

compressors away from the workers. However, in addition to this, earmuffs are also being provided

to the workers to prevent them from the noisy environment.

(vi)Ground vibrations:

Three number of blasts have been conducted at source area from close distances and found that

the peak particle velocities were found to be less than 3mm / sec. The readings are taken from the

blast site at different distance in the three blasts. During the first blast, around 600 kgs of

explosives were blasted with a charge per delay of 202 kgs, the PPV value was measured at a

distance of 500m from the blasting site, which showed a value of 1.5 mm/sec. During the second

and third blast, the ppv values were measured at a distance of 150m and 75m respectively, in

which we recorded a PPV value of 1.5 and 2.9 mm/sec.

Ground vibrations were measured near the mine site at different directions at the time of blasting

and readings were found to be very less.All the mining area is isolated, and no residential

structures are nearby. Due to ground vibrations while blasting, nearby dwellings will not be affected

because of very low particle velocity.

Protective measures for ground vibrations / airblast

Ground vibration is an important consideration, so that public should not be affected. The following

measures are taken to minimize ground vibrations and air blast by blasting.

1. A delay interval of 25 milliseconds, between holes is maintained using delay detonators.

2. Individual delays for each hole is used with card relays.

3. We will minimize the use of detonating fuse within the hole and other portions will be covered

with drill cuttings and there will not be air blast.

4. Peak particle velocity will be kept very low, by using non-el-system as a special case.

5. For larger blasts, sequential timer will be used in the blasting operations to avoid noise and

vibration.

6. Proper spacing and burden is maintained according to the bench heights to control blasting

with low particle velocity and low noise.



7. Adequate care is taken to minimize the ground vibration by proper selection and usage of

explosive depending upon the strata to be blasted.

However, displacement due to blasting was measured using a vibration meter at a distance of 500

m from the mine and the displacement noticed was only 0.2 micron which is very minimal which

will not cause any damage.

Monitoring Locations and Methodology

Water samples from surface water source and ground water sources were collected from identified

locations as per details given in following table in sterilized plastic cans to assess the existing

water quality of the study area twice during the study period. The samples were analyzed for

physical, chemical and bacteriological parameters as per the bureau of India Standards IS:10500

specifications, However, additional parameters like chemical and Bio chemical Oxygen Demand,

Total suspended solids, Oil & Grease, and Ferric and Ferrous ion were also analyzed. The

samples were analyzed as per standard procedure / method given in IS : 3025 (different parts) and

standard method for examination of water and waste water ED 20, published jointly by

APHA,WWA and WPCF.

From the above results, the prescribed limit of IS 10500, it is found that ground water of the study

area is fit for drinking purposes as alternate source.

There would not be any toxic effluent from mine hence there in no need for any treatment of water

from mine.

Control measures to be adopted are

The peripheral bunds will help that soils is not carried away by storm water. Stabilization of bund

slope to prevent erosion and this shall be done by providing dense plantation along the bund

slopes.

During dewatering operations the pumped out water will be let out in the nearby natural courses.

(viii) Climatic conditions

A meteorological station was set up in all three season to collect micro meteorological data for the

area.

The average annual rain fall in this area is about 900 mm. The area receives maximum rainfall

during N.E. Monsoon (i.e.) between October to December and precipitation also occur during S.W.

monsoon between July and September.



The rains are not generally heavy enough to hamper mining operations for more than one or two

days at a time. Ho disastrous floods have been recorded in this area. The maximum temperature

in summer months is 40° C. In the winter months (December to February) the minimum

ternperature would be about 300 C. Cyclone and storms are rare in this area. The main wind

directions are as follows. Winds are mainly from directions between North and North East from

November to February. In March winds are mostly from directions North East and South East, to

the morning and afternoon they are either Northerly to North Easterly or Southerly to South

Easterly. During April to October winds blow mostly from directions between South and South

Western in the morning, in the afternoons they are between South West and South East.

The area is well outside the known earthquake belt of the country and no earthquakes or

sympathetic shocks have been reported since historical times.

(ix) Human settlements:

The mining lease area is surrounded by few small villages. The main occupation of the people in

this part is agriculture. The lands in these areas are very fertile. Besides agriculture there are no

major industries.

.Rehabilitation

Within the Mine lease area, there is no a village or human settlement. Hence there is no

question of any evacuation and resettlement of people elsewhere.

Socio Economic Studies

It is well known fact, that industrialization will affect directly or indirectly the life styles, social

structure and economics of the persons who are living in the region. A study of the existing

baseline date on these aspects will help to force the impact of mining in future.

For this study the area has been divided into 2 zones namely core and buffer, while the 5KMs belt

around the mine lease area constituted the core zone the area up to 10 Kms distance from the

periphery of the lease has been considered as buffer zone. Baseline data and socioeconomic

environment in the core and buffer zone were combined from the senses. The data covers various

constituents such as demo graphs, literacy, employment, land classification, availability of

educational, medical and communication facilities etc.

8.2 Impact Assessment: Attach an Environmental Impact Assessment Statement describing

the impact of mining and beneficiation on environment on the following:

ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT STATEMENT

The environmental impact due to the enhancement of limestone production up to 15.0 lakhs tons

per Annum during the proposed modification period has been taken in to considerations while

preparing impact assessment statement.

Due to the increase in the cement production from 5 lakhs to 15 lakhs tons, the company has

engaged the EIA consultant for the enhanced proposed production of limestone from this G.O. 624

will be 15.0 lakhs tons per annum.

The address of the EIA consultant who prepares the EIA report for the MOEF clearance is as

follows,

M/s Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd, D-35 & 36, sector-6, Noida, Pin- 201 301 India. Tel: +91 1412751801/802/803, Fax: 2751806 E-Mail: [email protected] url: www.cegindia.com

The copy of work order issued to EIA consultant is enclosed as annexure no.15, the same after

completion will be submitted to IBM.

ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT STATEMENT:

i) LAND ENVIRONMENT:

Land use pattern after five years


http://www.cegindia.com/



a) Land and Land Subsidence:

Any mining operation is likely to alter the already existing topography. Scheduled reclamation of

the mined out areas will eventually represent a better landscape with even topography, which

would be amenable for farming etc.

b) Aesthetic Environment and Tourist Spots (if any)

The Mining lease area neither endowed with environmentally aesthetic attributes not is an

attractive place for tourists.

c) Soil and Land use Pattern

Opencast mechanized mining operations in this area would not cause discernible changes in the

soil characteristics since mining operations will not result in any kind of toxic effluents nor would

there be any solid waste generation.

The existing land use pattern is mainly cultivation for rotational/seasonal crop harvest. In the M.L.

area, most of the area is agricultural land and the remaining part comprises of grazing lands and

scrub jungle. Most of the plants are armed with spines and hooks. The prevailing land use pattern

in the post-mining period would not altogether get altered. Novel and extensive schemes of

afforestation will be implemented so as to minimize the effect of current land use.

d) Agriculture

The proposed mining methods will not cause any harm to the agricultural field in the surroundings.

With the commencement of mining operations employment (both direct and indirect) opportunities

will inherently force a change in the occupational structure partially. Consequently with increased

economic status, modernized agricultural practices would be adopted which will result in not only

better crop yield, but also reduce the pressure on particular operation.

Additionally, the wastelands and fallow lands upon mining and suitable reclamation will result in

beneficial rehabilitation of the derelict lands. Emphasis will be on restoration of mined out lands

to agricultural practices.

e) Forest

The Mining lease area does not include any forest area.

f) Flora and Fauna

The area under mining lease is not a habitat for wild life or bird sanctuary etc. Therefore mining

would not cause any effect on existing flora and fauna. There is no rare/endangered species of

flora in the area. Mining operations will not involve any felling of trees etc. as most of the area

selected for mine working is devoid of trees/plants etc. There is no wild life sanctuary in the vicinity

of mining lease area. So no rare/endangered or wild species is likely to be affected by the mining

project.

AIR:

A number of activities have an impact of ambient air quality of the area. These includes industries,

domestic fuel consumption, traffic emission etc. Major pollutants are SPM, Nox and So2. The main

source of air pollutant in SPM is mining activities. The generation of Nox and So2 results obtained

are well within the limits prescribed by CPCB for areas meant for industrial use.

Air pollution impact analysis is of prime concern. Dust is a particulate contaminant suspended in

the atmosphere. The upper size limit of dust particles is governed by gravitational effects. While

the distinction between the respirable and non respirable dust is scientifically valid it is clear that

both sizes can impair lung functions when inhaled over a time.

Deployment of diesel powered equipment for mining may produce emissions that are known to be

hazardous, viz unburnt hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen, particulates, phynols, aldehydes, oxides



of sulphur, trace elements, smoke and hydrocarbons. These pollutants are known to cause

respiratory ailments.

Use of protective equipments to reduce the exposure of personnel to excessive concentrations of

dust, dust suppressive techniques along haul tracks and drilling sites are practiced to minimize

negative impacts.

Ambient air quality Monitoring was carried out for summer season (April, May and June). The

parameters selected for analyzing ambient air quality status were Respirable Particulate Matter

(RPM), Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) Oxides of Nitrogen (Nox), Sulphur diaoxide (SO2). A

summary of ambient quality monitoring results for 24 hours average concentration are given below:

Mean 71.57 38.98 9.63 8.13

Control Measures for Air Quality / Dust Suppression

The main activities for air pollution are drilling, Blasting, loading, unloading, transportation and

heavy duty mobile equipments. Suppression measures like water spraying along haul road,

roadside plantation to provide canopy of foliage and regular use of water ejecting system to

dampen and control the dust during the course of drilling will be undertaken.

The proposed measures to control air quality within the limits are detailed below,

Mobile equipments

Dust emanated due to the movement of equipments is generally suppressed by the

following ways:

Surfacing of internal roads.

Dust suppression by water sprays

Dust generated in the mines will be suppressed by sprinkling water on haul roads with the help of

mobile water tanker with sprinkling arrangement. As there is not much of water seepage and

accumulation in the pits, permanent pipe line connection for spraying water on haul road for dust

suppression cannot be carried out immediately. However your advice & suggestion will be



considered in future.

Rows of trees would be planted

ii) WATER ENVIRONMENT:

a) Surface Water:

The Nallah is passing across the lease area and flowing from NNE to SW of the lease area. It

drains the area and joins the local water body in the south and western portion of the ML area.

The Nallah is not perennial. It is dry during the major part of the year but is subject to occasional

flash floods.

The ground water table is about 15 to 20 metres below the ground during the summer and it raises

during rainy season.

b) Ground Water

Ground water is the main source in this area, apart from rain in the monsoon period. The water

table is intersected 15 to 20 meters the surface. The ground water will be collected in the sump for

the deposition of solid particles. Once the suspended particles are deposited it will be pumped out

for domestic purpose, dust suppression system, gardening and Afforestation purpose. The excess

water only will be pumped out to the nalla /closer water bodies – pond after the deposition of solid

particles. There are no toxic elements found in the sump water.

The water table is found at a depth of 15metres in rainy season and at 20m in dry season. To cope

up with storm water and seepage water, an energy efficient electrical pump of 20H.P capacity will

be installed and the discharge will be let-out in the nallah/Pond.

Garland drains will be made all along the periphery of dumpsites to prevent the water carrying the

wash-offs from the dumps and topsoil yard entering into the mines. The water collected in the

garland drains will flow towards a settling tank formed near by the dumpsite. The water will be

allowed to settle the wash offs from the dumps in the settling tank and pure & clear water will be

utilized for afforestation purposes and for wetting of haul roads to arrest the dust generation.

(v) Noise level:

Noise level is kept under check. Adequate measures will be taken up to control the noise level and

also to provide appliances to the operators to avoid noise pollution if any.

The maximum and average of this noise levels in the 0 - 3 KM zone are 90 dB(A) and 74 dB(A)

respectively. Whereas in 3-8 KM zone the same have been reported to be 71 dB(A) and 52 dB(A)



respectively. In the 8-10 KM zone the maximum noise level recorded is 68 dB(A) and the average

is 51 dB(A).

Hence there will not be any damage risk for hearing loss, by the mining activities, upto the mine life

period.

To reduce the noise level efforts will be made by proper maintenance schedule, placement of

compressors away from the workers. However, in addition to this, earmuffs are also being provided

to the workers to prevent them from the noisy environment.

(vi)Ground vibrations:

Three number of blasts have been conducted at source area from close distances and found that

the peak particle velocities were found to be less than 3mm / sec. The readings are taken from the

blast site at different distance in the three blasts. During the first blast, around 600 kgs of

explosives were blasted with a charge per delay of 202 kgs, the PPV value was measured at a

distance of 500m from the blasting site, which showed a value of 1.5 mm/sec. During the second

and third blast, the ppv values were measured at a distance of 150m and 75m respectively, in

which we recorded a PPV value of 1.5 and 2.9 mm/sec.

As such there is no need to go for 30 readings to be taken, as the values in either in the village or

in the close vicinity do not warrant such an exercise.

Monitoring Locations and Methodology

Water samples from surface water source and ground water sources were collected from identified

locations as per details given in following table in sterilized plastic cans to assess the existing



water quality of the study area twice during the study period. The samples were analyzed for

physical, chemical and bacteriological parameters as per the bureau of India Standards IS:10500

specifications, However, additional parameters like chemical and Bio chemical Oxygen Demand,

Total suspended solids, Oil & Grease, and Ferric and Ferrous ion were also analyzed. The

samples were analyzed as per standard procedure / method given in IS : 3025 (different parts) and

standard method for examination of water and waste water ED 20, published jointly by

APHA,WWA and WPCF.

letter is enclosed as annexure no.14.



8.3 Progressive reclamation Plan:

In the preceding chapter, an attempt was made to assess the likely impact on the environment due

to various mining activities. This chapter describes the scheme for environmental management,

the proposed abatement measures to minimize the likely environmental degradation that may be

caused due to the mining operations at proposed Mining Project.

Considering the scale and methodology of mining operations in the project area as discussed

earlier, no significant environmental degradation is expected. The micro level eco system and

socio economic setup of the villages is likely to improve. Environmental control measures and

techniques are discussed below to mitigate any adverse effect owing to the mining activities.

8.3.1. Mined-Out Land:

The total excavated area shall be around 60.685 Ha at the end of mining operations. It is

proposed to convert the mined out area as an artificial pond to store rainwater and as well as part

of the area will be refilled and subsequently afforested. The area is arid and has a low about

900mm/yr. Therefore the water stored from rainfall could be used as reservoir in the locality

helping the neighboring villagers. The reservoir will have an enough potential to store water. The

water in the reservoir thus located shall improve bore well irrigation.


purposes by developing the area with guava, straw berry, fig fruit plants etc. This work shall be

done after the cessation of mining operations.

Justification Artificial Pond to Store Rain Water:

The sub-surface of the area is composed of hard rocky strata. So the rainwater is not directly and

effectively absorbed into the ground. Since no major water resources / reservoirs / lakes / ponds

etc, are present in the area, if we fully reclaim the mined out pits we would completely loose the

entire rainwater instead of being harvested in the mined out pits thereby increasing the level of the

water table in the area will get increased.


purposes by developing the area with guava, straw berry, fig fruit plants etc. This work shall be

done after the cessation of mining operations.

Therefore, by proposing to utilize the mined out pits as water reservoirs, after entire mining

operations gets completed, we would be able to serve the following purposes:



1) Sustain the water resources for the drought prone area of local villages.

2) Increase the level of water table in the adjacent area.

3) To meet the drinking water requirement of local villagers.

4) To afforestate the non-mining leases areas (earmarked for afforestation) with the

Stored water from these pits.

Therefore, considering the above facts, we propose not to reclaim the mined out pits after entire

mining is completed instead we would utilize them as water reservoirs which would be the need of

the prevailing hydrological atmosphere in the mining lease area.

Post Mining after cessation of mining activities

8.3.2 Topsoil Management:

During the three year modification period no topsoil will be generated and it will be in meager

quantity will be stacked all along the safety barriers of the lease area, and it will be utilized for the

afforestation purposes.separately in the 50M safety zone area along the odai.

The average thickness of the top soil is varying in thickness 1 to 0.5M in the mining lease area for

mining. The upper layer of top soil, which is oxidized and contains organic matter will be stripped

and used for spreading over the slopes of the peripheral bund to facilitate revegetation and also for

tree plantation over areas beyond the peripheral bund. Excess quantity of top soil remaining will

be stacked separately in a dump yard for the above stated purpose. The slopes of the dumpsites
