The sequence of unit operations in open cast semi mechanized mining consists of
removal of soil and waste material i.e. overburden and dumping at suitable site,
fragmentation of mineral from in-situ formation, excavation, sizing and sorting, loading and
hauling and some other miscellaneous work. Removal of soil and waste material will
carried out using shovel dumper combination and production of Dolomite ore by manual
means. Drilling of shot holes and blasting would be carried out by engaging private
licensed agency.
The Dolomite mine will be developed as Opencast semi- Mechanized Mine for the
production of Dolomite @ 34337 TPA. It is also proposed to obtain recovery of ore from
old dumps. Commercially exploitable Dolomite deposits occur in this proposed mining
lease.
While mining the dolomite, the waste material likely to be generated as shale chips and
chert boulder sand are sorted. The 10% waste from ROM is separately stacked as reject
dumps.
The water requirement of the project is estimated to be 25 m3/day of the water is required
for drinking/domestic purpose. Water requirement for dust suppression (within the lease
and outside the lease in nearby villages), plantation will be met from mine water and from
rainwater collected in mining pit.
The power requirement will be met from adjoining from State electricity board.
Ground water table is expected to be at more than 20-25 m depth from surface level.
The mining will be carried out as per the approved mining plan. During Mining Plan period,
the mining operation will be done by development of semi-mechanized opencast method.
The plantation program will be taken up in the areas in future in a systematic manner and
plantation will be carried out, starting with soil binding grasses and shrubs followed by
larger trees species. Local varieties of plants shall be given predominance along with
introduction of some exotic species.
Uncontaminated topsoil, will be meticulously removed and transported to the non
mineralized zone for future plantation.

At present the working is in progress in one large pit by developing the complete section of
ore body by removing the overburden by shovel dumper combination by OTFM means
and production, sorting etc. is by manual means.
Considering the proposed production the pit configuration would be as shown in the
Conceptual Section given at Map-4 and development plan and proceed further towards
south in depth and eastwards along the strike direction to achieve the required production.
Conceptual plan: The mining operation by means of opencast method will be continued
Conceptual plan at the end of the 20 year and at the end of lease period is prepared.
At the end of first five years: At the end of first five years, about 17000 m2 area would be
covered under mining pit. Total, 2500 m2 of area will be required to accommodate 16738
m3 of waste rock and waste material from ore zone will be generated, keeping in view the
production target of about 34337 tonnes yearly during the modified plan period up to 2016-
17. The ore to overburden ratio will be 1:9.5

The details of production & development, afforestation etc. during the modified mining plan
period is tabulated below;
At the end of Conceptual period:
After taking the production of about 50,800 tonnes during the modified plan period from
the estimated quantity of 1,66,665 tonnes about 1,15,865 tonnes of Dolomite ore remain to
be exploited from the proved, probable and float ore reserves will be available as on
01.04.2017. The area will be further explored by drilling and the reserves will be re-
assessed in the year 2015-16 but considering the present reserves about 17000 M2 area
would be covered under mining pit and 2500 M2 area would be required to accommodate
the waste rock and waste material. As these dumps would be utilized for reclamation of
mined out land during the conceptual period the dumping pattern would be simple.
The ultimate pit limit has been shown in the conceptual section and UPL depth would be
333 mRL. For plantation 1125 m2 area would be required considering 25 plants per year
up to this plan period and 1125 m2 in the conceptual period i.e. up to the next scheme
period considering the present estimated reserves and proposed production of about
34337 tonnes annually.
Post Mining Land use pattern: The waste material generation would be about 90% of
the total excavation including overburden and soil cover. These wastes would be used for
reclamation of worked out are in future. Most of the area worked out would be reclaimed
with slight depression. Over this reclaimed land plantation will be carried out to enhance
the environment.
Final slope of faces: Final slope of faces: before closing and reclaiming the mined out
land would be 90 % so that maximum ore can be recovered. Ultimate dump capacity & its
design.

From the hydrological conditions prevailing in the surrounding area the water level in
the proposed area is about 20-25 mt. below the general ground surface as such the
problem of mine drainage would not be faced while mining of Dolomite up to 7.5 mts.
depth. Generally the parent rocks phyllite and quartz mica schist are not good aquifer
hence the seepage of underground water in the mining pit will be less.
The mine water due to seepage and the rain water accumulated during monsoon in the
pits would be pumped out by means diesel operated pump and drained out through
gravity drainage.

9. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS
i) Financial and social benefits with special emphasis on the benefit to the local
people including tribal population, if any, in the area.
The liberalization of the Indian economy has catapulted the Indian industry into new realms of
development through global thinking and related progress. The policies of Government on
economic development have given various subsidies like slashing import duties and
provisions for the Indian industry to grow indigenously, also there are clearly spelled
guidelines for environmental management. The project under consideration aims to contribute
in the national objective of economy and ecology developing hand in hand. The region, where
the project is situated is mostly dependant on agriculture forest and mineral resources where
Dolomite has a major share. The development of mining in the area is directly and indirectly
going to contribute in increasing employment, infrastructure, communication, and
socioeconomic infrastructure. It is proposed to employ the local population wherever possible
in the proposed project activities directly or indirectly. The proposed Dolomite mine would
naturally have implications on the neighborhood with reference to socio-economic aspects of
society, environmental attributes such as land, water, air, aesthetics, flora and fauna. In
assessing the environmental impact, collection, collation and interpretation of baseline data is
of prime importance. Environmental impact analysis and assessment, which is required for
every industrial project, should preferably be carried out at the planning stage itself.
In compliance with the environmental procedure the environmental clearance application is
made. Necessary scientific studies will be undertaken as per the guidelines set by the Ministry
of Environment and Forests (MoEF) and prescribed Terms of Reference. The
suggestions/recommendations of all the experts, competent authorities, and government
officials are being sought for the impacts of the proposed project. Views and guidance of the
local residents, community based organizations, social organizations are extremely important
in order to devise a full proof Environment Management Plan for the proposed mining project
and also mitigate the damages caused due to the project. Allocation of necessary funds,
manpower and machinery will be made to for the protection and conservation of all the
components of environment. It is ensured that all mandatory clearances will be sought from
respective competent authorities before operating the proposed Dolomite Mine.
