the Management review meeting is also

being conducted on regular basis.

Copy of the ISO Certificate is attached

as Annexure # 4.

6 The mining operations shall be restricted to

above ground water table and it should

not intersect the groundwater table. In

case of working below the ground water

table, prior approval of the Ministry of

Environment and Forests and the Central

Ground Water Authority shall be obtained,

for which a detailed hydro-geological

study shall be carried out.

Our mining activity is not intersecting the

ground water table of the area. There

are two pits namely Lucky Pit & DN Pit,

are under operations. The ground water

table in the area is lying at 530 m above

MSL and the present lowest working

depth is at 630 m above MSL, which is

far above ground water table. The

ultimate working depth of the mines will

be 620 m above MSL in lucky pit and 640

m above MSL in DN pit. Therefore, the

mining operation will not intersect the

ground water table.

7 The project proponent shall ensure that no

natural watercourse and/or water

resources shall be obstructed due to any

mining operations. Adequate safeguard

measures shall be taken for protection of

the first order streams and the seasonal

nallahs originating from the mining lease

area.

The mining lease area is of hilly terrain

and undulated, the elevation ranging

from 585 aMSL and 920 aMSL. There is no

presence of any perennial watercourse

like river/stream etc. in the lease area.

However, for the dry nala/valley in the

lease area, through which the surface

run-off water passes only during rain,

necessary steps are being taken so that



the water flow is not obstructed due to

mining operation. Adequate protective

measures have been taken to control

sediment flow into the nearby water

bodies with the provisions of check

weirs, check dams, guards walls etc. at

the strategic locations for allowing the

natural flow. Check weirs have been

provided at the strategic points across

the flow direction to arrest the

wash-off if any. Photo of the same is

attached as # photo – 1a & b.

8 The top soil, if any shall temporarily be

stored at earmarked site(s) only and it

should not be kept unutilized for long. The

topsoil shall be used for land reclamation

and plantation.

The earlier generated top soil has

already been utilized for plantation.

However, in case of top soil generated

in future, it will be stored in an

earmarked area and necessary

precaution will be taken to preserve its

nutrient values so that it can be used for

land reclamation and raising of

plantations.

9 The over burden (OB) generated during

the mining operations shall be stacked at

earmarked dump site(s) only and it should

not be kept active for a long period of

time and their phase-wise stabilization

shall be carried out. Backfilling shall

commence from the 11th year onwards.

There shall be four external over burden

dumps. The maximum projected height of

the dumps shall not exceed 45 m in three

terraces of 15 m each and the overall

slope of the dumps shall be maintained to

280. The OB dumps should be scientifically

vegetated with suitable native species to

prevent erosion and surface run off. In

critical areas, use of geo textiles shall be

undertaken for stabilization of the dump.

Monitoring and management of

rehabilitated areas shall continue until the

Overburden is being stacked at

earmarked site as approved in the

Mining Plan/Scheme. At present there

is only one no. of active OB/Waste

dump. An area of 4.29 ha. of in-active

/dead dumping area has already been

reclaimed by plantation and mixed

grass seedlings applications has been

taken up on the dump slopes to prevent

the soil erosion. The dump slopes have

been terraced with the overall slope

angle at 28° at suitable interval and

stabilized properly. Coir mat applications

has been adopted for better

stabilization of soil and dump materials.

Garland drains and Retaining wall are

provided all along the toe of the dumps

to prevent the wash-off. Settling pits

have been constructed at the bottom

of the dump areas to arrest / control

flow of silts during monsoon. Photograph

is enclosed as photo # 2a, b& c.

10 Catch drains and siltation ponds of

appropriate size shall be constructed

around the mine working, soil, OB and

mineral dumps to prevent run off of water

and flow of sediments directly into water

bodies. The water so collected should be

utilized for watering the mine area, roads,

green belt development etc. The drains

shall be regularly de-silted particularly

after the monsoon and maintained

properly. Garland drains, settling tanks

and check dams of appropriate size,

gradient and length shall be constructed

around the mine pit, soil, OB and mineral

dumps to prevent run off of water and flow

of sediments directly into the water bodies

and sump capacity should be designed

keeping 50% safety margin over and

above peak sudden rainfall (based on 50

years data) and maximum discharge in

the area adjoining the mine site. Sump

capacity should also provide adequate

retention period to allow proper settling of

silt material. Sedimentation pits shall be

constructed at the corners of the garland

drains and de-silted at regular intervals

In the entire area, where ever possibility

of wash off or flow of sediments etc. is

anticipated, the retaining wall, garland

drain and check dam have been

provided at the strategic points. The

photo of the same as enclosed as photo

# 1a, 3a &3b.

Proper retaining wall and garland drain

followed and sumps/settling pits have

been constructed at the bottom of the

dump, stack-yard etc. areas to arrest /

control flow of silts during rain. The

sumps/settling ponds are de-silted

regularly after monsoon.

There is no perennial water source within

the mining lease area. Surface runoff

are properly directed and allowed to

settle in the settling pits constructed at

lower level. The surface run off from

other areas is controlled by providing

check dams and guard walls of gabion

mesh.

The sump have been constructed with

adequate capacity with safety margin

so that, the most of the surface run-off

water is percolated down in the settling

ponds during the rainy season and rest

quantity is passed through the proper

channel i.e. check dam, check weir etc.

to the mines pit areas.

11 Dimension of the retaining wall at the toe

of the over burden dumps and the OB

benches within the mine to check run-off

and siltation shall be based on the rainfall

12 Plantation shall be raised in an area of

149.518 ha including a 7.5 m wide green

belt in the safety zone around the mining

lease, over burden dumps, mine benches,

backfilled area, along the roads etc. by

planting the native species in consultation

with the local DFO/Agriculture

Department. The density of the trees

should be around 2500 plants per ha.

Greenbelt shall be developed all along

the mine lease area in a phased manner

and shall be completed within first five

years.

The plantation requirement to cover the

area of 149.518 ha will be at the end of

mine life after exhaustion of mineral

deposit. At present, no mining pit has

exhausted of mineral deposit and no

reclamation/ rehabilitation by plantation

could be taken up for the mining pit

area. However, we have taken up

plantation within the lease in the safety

zones along ML Boundary, Road Side

and dead dumps etc. An area of 1.74

ha. of safety zone and 4.29 ha. of

dumping area has been covered with

plantation in the lease area for a total

1,0,9125 nos. including gap filling over a

total area of 12.33 ha within the lease.
