Agriculture and Land UseThe forest is full of variety of material plants, kendu leaves, bamboo, sal, teak and othertimber species. The district has considerable flat land which provide suitable site foragricultural use. The hilly area is mostly under forest with patches of cultivation on scrapareas. Major crops grown in the district are rice, wheat and pulses. The area dependsmainly on rain and only 23.24% area of agricultural land is irrigated and major source ofirrigation are wells and canals.

Regional Geology:The geological formation of the Palamu district comprise mainly rocks of Archaean, Vindhyanand Gondwana ages, the last cut by dykes of Deccan trap age. The Archaean rocks includeboth schists of Dharwar age and gneisses and granites. The schists, mainly horn-blendic andbiotitic, are the oldest rocks of the area and occur as parallel and lenticular bands in thegneisses. The schist’s are intruded by epidiorites, amphibolites, and gneisses. Garnetiferoussillimanite-graphite-schists, similar to the Khondalites, also occur near Daltonganj andLatehar. Smaller patches of these rocks are found in the manner of inclusions in the mostprevalent and the biotite and sillimanite schists are rare. The gneisses and granites are,however, the most predominant rocks of the district as in other parts of Chotanagpur. Theygive rise to prominent groups of hills in the northern and southern parts of the district (Fig. 3).

Fig. 3: Geological map of Palamu district




Geology and Mineral Resources: Following geological succession has been established byGeological Survey of India covering Palamu district as follows:

(1) Recent deposits of alluvium and laterite.(2) Post Gondwana Dykes of basic.

Cretaceo-Eocene, Igneous rocksDykes of basic Jurassic and Triassicand Ultrabasic assic. Igneous rocks.Upper Panchet or Lower JurassicMahadevas Lower TriassicPanchet series. Upper PermianRaniganj seriesIronstone shales

(3) Gondwana Middle Permian system.Lower Damodar Barakar SeriesLower Permian with Karharbari stage.Upper Talchir series carboniferousWith glacial boulder bed

(4) Basic intrusives, Meta dolerite, amphibolite and epidiorites(5) Mica pegmatites and granite pegmaties(6) Chotanagpur granite gneiss.(7) Dharwars-Crushed or fault breccia, garnet-amphibole schist, Granulites, schists, phyllites,

quartzites, etc.

The Damodar Valley Gondwanas dissects the CGGC into to broad belts. The southern bouldercomprises of a few districts of Jharkhand and extends towards the Purulia district of WestBengal. The Palamu highlands immediately to the north of coal basins share the geologicalformations exposed to the south of coal belt & comprise high grade schistose formation up tothe granulite facies. Palamu (North Palamu) - Palamu belt followed immediately to the northby Palamu Santhal Pargana Plains.

The southern belt comprises metamorphosis of low grade phyllites and schists in the southto upper amphibolites to granulite facies rocks in the north. The northern boulder is moreheterogeneous compared to the southern boulders.




Location & Accessibility of the Project:The applied area falls under the Survey of India Toposheet No. 73 A/5 having 23°57’13.25” to 23° 57’20.24” N latitude and 84° 16’37.40” to 84°16’48.12” E longitude, PlotNo. 1217 (Part), Khata No 72. The area is situated about 34 km north east of districtheadquarter Daltonganj and can be approached by NH-75 and subsequently by statehighway and village road. The nearest railway station is Daltanganj.

Topographical Plan & Geological Plan:The topographical plan of the lease area has been prepared on a scale of 1:2000 withcontour interval of 1 m (Plate 3). The plan has been taken as the base plan for preparationof geological plan (Plate 4). The details of exploration already carried out and theprocedure adopted for preparation of geological plan are described below.

Exploration Carried Out in the Area:The existence of stone in the ML area has been established based on the fieldobservations. It is found that stone is exposed upto the surface in the ML area in the formof a small hillock. A drill hole were made to establish extend of geological reserve ofstone deposit. Based on the above geological observations, proved and probablegeological reserve, and also reserve as per UNFC classification have been estimated. Thereserve of M/s Shri Vinayak Construction Stone Mines & Crusher has been estimated bycross sectional area method. A geological cross section has been taken on the grid linesfor estimating the reserve as shown in the geological plan. Geological plan and sections ofML area is shown in Plate 4. The following basic parameter has been considered forestimation of reserve of stone in the ML area.

1. Surface RL: 341 m to 320 m MSL2. Thickness of ore body 51 m3. Recovery factor (overall) - 95%4. Tonnage factor- 3 t/m3

5. Generation of waste- 5%

Method of Reserve Estimation:Considering the above parameters, the different categories of geological reserve haveestimated by cross sectional area method as follows:-

GR=A × L × RF × TF




Where,GR- Geological Reserve (t)A- Cross sectional Area (m2)L- Length of influence (m)RF- Recovery Factor (t/m3)TF- Tonnage factor (t/m3)

The mineral reserve has been arrived at after deducting reserves locked under the safety barrier(7.5 m from lease boundary) below the ground surface and under ultimate pit slope (45 degree)from the geological reserve. Geological reserve of stone is given in Table 2. Reserveestimations as per UNFC classification are given in Tables 3 and 4.

CHAPTER-VMINING

Proposed Method of Development & Working of the DepositProposed Method of Mining:The development of the area will be done by Wagon drills method and control blasting.Loading of stone to dumper/tippers will be done by hydraulic excavator. Hill top will beextracted by slicing method of maximum average 6 m height and the stone below ground levelwill be extracted by benching method after leaving 7.5 m safety zone inside the leaseboundary.

Mining StrategyAll drilling operation will be done mechanically by compressed air operated Wagon drill ofmaximum 6 m depth. After control blasting by millisecond delay detonation technique, theblasted material will be loaded from the blasted face by hydraulic excavator on dumper.Loaded material will be directly transported to crusher located away from the mine site. Therewill not be any stock yard. Little amount of waste will be generated, which will be used toconstruct approach road to the Mine.

Bench Design & Formation:Bench height will be restricted to 6 m and width will be 6 m or as per DGMS approval. Theproposed bench slope will be restricted to 70°. The anticipated production for 5 years willbe around 3675000 tonne with an average daily production rate of 2450 tonne. Overallpit slope will be restricted to 45°.

Year-wise Development (Reference to year-wise development plan & sections):

During First yearMining will be done by slicing/ benching of the hillock from all directions at a depth of firstbench portion will be up to 441 m 438 m RL with an average height of 3 m and subsequently asecond bench will be get started at a depth of 438 m to 432 m RL with an average height of 6m as shown in Plate 5. Further a few amount of waste available in the portion will be used forroad construction of the ML area. A temporary office-cum-rest shelter bore well and watertank will be constructed in the mine as shown in Plate 5.

Safe charge per delay:The damage criteria was proposed by various organizations including USBM, DGMS, CIMFRetc. based on the permissible PPV in mm/s and frequency of the ground vibrations for varioustypes of structures. The criteria based on the permissible PPV and frequency of the groundvibrations for various types of structures as per DGMS (Technical Circular Number 7 of 1997)is given in Table 13.

Study conducted by Dr. P. PalRoy, CSIR-CIMFR, Dhanbad and Prof. S. Jayanthu, NIT,Rourkela in similar conditions of the current stone mining area to estimate safe charge perdelay to limit the ground vibrations within safe limit of 5 mm/sec as the frequency was withinthe limits of 8 to 25 Hz considering the structures as sensitive and not belonging to the owner.Based on the several field observations of blast induced vibration, the predictor equation interms of the scaled distance and Peak Particle Velocity (PPV) was found to represent themeasured data (Table 14). The same predictor equation was suggested for utilization inestimation of safe explosive charge per delay to keep the vibration level within the safe limits.Accordingly, the safe charge per delay is recommended to keep the vibration level below 5mm/sec, which is presented in Table 14 for M/s Shri Vinayak Construction Stone Mines. Totalrequirement of explosive in the mine is only 828 kg per day which is much below the safecharge per delay limit; hence effect of ground vibration due to blasting in the mine will be veryless considering recommended safe charge per day as given in Table 14.

CHAPTER - VII

MINE DRAINAGE

MINE DRAINAGEThere is no river or stream flowing in the leasehold. Since a major portion of the lease areacomprises of gently sloping hillock surrounded with peripheral slope all around. There will beno problem of water drainage as the area is predominantly rocky. Due to peripheral slope, thenatural flow of water will be towards valley down below the hillock. River Koel is flowingapprox 32 Km from the mine site.

To avoid surface run-off going out of the ML area during the monsoon season settlingtank/sump shall be constructed within the open pit.




CHAPTER-VIII

USE OF MINERAL

Use of Stone

Finished Products:

Stone chunk (raw material for the production of stone chips) Hand hammered stone aggregate or stone ballast of different sizes.

Market

Stone chunk (raw material for the production of stone chips) will be sold direct to thecrusher owners located away from the mine.

Stone ballast of different size will be sold direct to the civil contractors and to thecommon person engage in construction of their own.

As all the finished product stone chunk, stone ballast and stone dust have naturalmarket so no disposal of any kind of solid waste will be done anywhere.

Marketing of all the finished product can be easily done in the radius of 50 km fromthe proposal mining site.




CHAPTER-IX

I. BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS1.2 MeteorologyThe climate of Palamu district is mainly dry and bracing. The year can be divided in to threemain seasons. The cold seasons from November to March, the hot season from March to Mayand the monsoon season from June to September, October is a transitional month betweenmonsoon and winter seasons. Climatically, the district comes under sub-tropical zone. In theDistrict, the only observatory station of Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) is located atDaltonganj. Meteorological data of this station can be taken as representative for the district

1.2.1 TemperatureThe cold season starts from November and continues till as out the middle of FebruaryDecember and January are the coolest month. In association with cold waves whichoccasionally pass over the area in the wake of western disturbances. In the southern part of thedistrict in the high Plateau, frost occurs in December of January by March temperature beginsto rise steadily. In May and early point of June the maximum temperature can be as high as 47°C on individual days (Table 12). The effect of the extreme summer heat is somewhatalleviated by dryness of air and strong breezes that blow in afternoons. In general daily rangeof temperature is of the order of 4 to 23 °C during the winter season.

1.4 Water Environment1.4.1 DrainageThe drainage of the district is mainly controlled by the river North Koel and itstributaries viz. Auranga and Amanat (Fig. 5). The Koel, Auranga and Amanat have the upperreaches characterized by high bank and rocky beds while the lower reaches by sandy beds.The river Chhotki originates slightly to the east of this village and runs to the east. The riverSurhar originates little to the south of this village and, after traveling north wards for aboutto 10 km rotates to the east and runs almost parallel to the Chhotki. The river Batane has itssources in the hills to the south of Saridih and runs on its western side going straight northinto Gaya district. The river Banki emerges slightly to the south of Chhatarpur and goes westto meet the Koel. Leabing the Auranga, the Koel and the Sone, which fall on the boundariesof this division, the biggest river falling it the area is the Amanat running east to west andfalling into the Koel at a distance of about 15 km from Daltonganj. Another important river, theJinjoi, also runs east to west and meets the Amanat near its confluence with the Koel. Exceptfor the Koel and the Sone all these are seasonal river and remain dry in the summer. Evenin the Koel the flow is confined to one or two very narrow channels during the hot moths.

1.4.2 GeologyThe geological formation of the Palamau district comprise mainly rocks of Archaean,Vindhyan and Gondwana ages, the last cut by dykes of Deccan trap age. The Archaean rocksinclude both schists of Dharwar age and gneisses and granites. The schists, mainly horn-blendic and biotitic, are the oldest rocks of the area and occur as parallel and lenticular bandsin the gneisses. The schists are intruded by epidiorites, amphibolites, and gneisses.Garnetiferous sillimanite-graphite-schists, similar to the Khondalites, also occur nearDaltonganj and Latehar. Smaller patches of these rocks are found in the manner of inclusionsin the most prevalent and the biotite and sillimanite schists are rare. Calc-silicate rocks andcrystalline limestones of Dharwar age are largely developed in certain areas. The gneisses andgranites are, however, the most predominant rocks of the district as in other parts ofChotanagpur. They give rise to prominent groups of hills in the northern and southern parts ofthe district.

1.4.3 GeomorphologyTopography of Palamu district is characterized by highly rugged landscape with green forestall over the area. Elevation of hill ranges in southern part of the district starts from 360 mabove mean sea level (msl). Master slope of the area in general tends towards north and east.In terms of physiography the district shows the following four broad categories of landforms:

East-west trending hill ranges, consisting of crystalline and metamorphic rocks in thesouthern part;

Flat topped hills in the south-eastern; The sub-plateau area lying south of the plains are separated by narrow valleys in parts

of Bishrampur block; and Narrow valleys along the course of the major rivers.

1.4.4 HydrogeologyThe district is covered by three major geological formations viz, the Precambriancrystalline, the Vindhyan and the Gondwana. Besides, the tertiary laterite and alluvium also coverpart of the district. The Alluvium cover of considerable thickness occurs in the northern part ofthe district along the Son and North Koel rivers. Ground water occurs mostly under phreaticcondition in all the lithological units and locally under semi-confined and confined condition.

1.4.5 Depth to Water levelDetailed study on ground water level, availability, quality and water resource accounting ofPalamu district has been carried out by Central Ground Water Board (CGWB), Patna. Theyhave monitored 15 wells located in plane area at different places of Palamu district for longduration. The depth to water levels in wells tapping shallow aquifer ranged from 5.1 to 12.9 mbgl during post-monsoon period and 7.1 to 16.5 m bgl during pre-monsoon period. Depth ofwater in wells located at slightly deeper aquifer ranged from 9.8 to 20.7 m bgl during post-monsoon period and 12.5 to 26.2 m bgl during pre-monsoon period. Categorization of depth towater level of post-monsoon period in Palamu district is depicted in Fig. 6. The proposedmining area is located in small hilly area where groundwater level during post-monsoonseason is 15-16 m bgl and pre-monsoon season is 18-20 m bgl.

1.4.6 Aquifer ParametersA total of 6 exploratory wells and 3 observation wells have been constructed byCGWB, Patna down to depth of 200 m in hard rock formation to decipher the potentialfracture zones with their yields. The exploratory data revealed presence of potentialfractures between 30 and 100 m below ground level (bgl). The yield of the well, ingeneral as evident from the exploratory data, was found to vary between 5 and 62 m3/hr.Piezometric level varied between 4 and 30 m bgl. Aquifers ( lying in depth range of 30-100 m) have moderate prospects of ground water development. Summarizedhydrogeological data of exploratory drilling in the district are given in Table 19.

1.4.7 Ground Water Quality of Palamu DistrictCGWB, Patna has been analyzing the water samples of 15 well for long time. Ground water inthe phreatic aquifers in Palamu district is alkaline in nature. The specific electricalconductance of ground water in phreatic zone during was in the range of 240-1340 µS/cmat 25ºC. The suitability of ground water for drinking purpose has been evaluated on thebasis of pH, Total hardness (TH), Ca, Cl, F and NO3. The chemical concentration of theseconstituents, when compared with the drinking water specification recommended byIS:10500, 1991 as given in Table 20, indicates that in two samples from HNS at Chandwaand Balumath pH exceeded the permissible limit of 8.5. Fluoride concentration above thepermissible limit of 1.5 mg/l exceeded in the samples from Bisrampur.Nitrate concentration above 45 mg/l has been found from samples at Latehar, Manika,Bhawanthpur, Patan and Daltonganj. At Bhawanthpur, Daltonganj and Manika the nitrateconcentration was found above 100 mg/l.

1.4.8 Status of Ground Water DevelopmentIn rural areas entire water supply is dependent on ground water. Ground water developmentis mainly carried out in the district through dug wells and hand pumps. Dug wells are ingeneral of 2 m diameter and between 8 to 15 m depth, depending on the thickness of theweathered zone, tapping the shallow ground water in the weathered zone and uppermost sliceof the basement. Large number of dug wells used for drinking water is under Governmentownership for which there is no reliable data. Over the years Mark II/ Mark III handpumps are being drilled in large numbers for ground water development. These hand pumpshave the following two major advantages i) are less susceptible to contamination fromsurface sources and ii) they tap fractures between 20-60m depth which have been found tobe less affected by seasonal water level fluctuation and thus have lesser chances of failureeven during extreme summer. In rural areas of Palamu district the number of hand pumpsdrilled by PHED is 15344 of which 12275 are under working condition. There are 380 dugwells constructed by government departments that are under regular use. In Daltonganj,there are 2 Deep tube wells under operation for supplementing the water supply. In urbanareas ground water plays a supplementary role in water supply, the major supply beingmade through dams, reservoirs or weirs across rivers or streams. As per the latest resourceestimation carried out by CGWB, Patna, the overall stage of ground water development inPalamu district is 26% indicating sufficient scope of development. Ground water resource ofPalamu district is given in Table 21. Stage of ground water development in different blocksof Palamu district is depicted in Fig. 6.

1.6.4 Soil Fertility Status

Soil fertility status of Palamu district has been studied by National Bureau of Soil Survey andLand Use Planning, Kolkata in association with Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi. Soilfertility status of Palamu district is summarized herewith.

The soil pH ranges from 4.8 to 8.9. The data reveals that soil of most of the area is acidic(47.8% of total area), in which 26.6% area is slightly acidic, 17.0% moderately acidic, 3.8%strongly acidic and 0.7% very strongly acidic in reaction. Soils of 27.1% area of thedistrict are neutral whereas 20.5% area is alkaline in reaction.

The organic carbon content in the district ranges from 0.10 to 1.64%. They are mappedinto three classes i.e., low (below 0.5%), medium (0.5-0.75%) and high (above 0.75%). It isseen that 42.6% area of the district have high organic carbon content. Medium and loworganic carbon content constitutes 37.4 and 15.4% area, respectively.

Available nitrogen content in the surface soils of the district ranges between 120 and 809kg/ha. Majority soils (68.3% of total area) of the district have medium availability status ofavailable nitrogen (280-560 kg/ha) and soils of 15.8% area have low available nitrogencontent (<280 kg/ha). Available phosphorus content in these soils ranges between 0.2 and38.2 kg/ha.

1.7 Biological Environment

Proposed lease hold area is barren and rock is exposed upto the surface. There is no rare orendangered plant and animal species found in core and buffer zones of the area.

1.7.1 Flora

Forest area located far away from the mining site has different tree species, namely, Mahua(Madhuca longifolia), Palas (Butea frondosa), Karanja (Pongamia glabra), Amm (Mangiferaindica), Jamun (Eugenia jamb), Bard (Ficus benghalensis), Imli (Tamarindus indica), Arjun(Terminalia arjuna), Bair (Zizyphus mauritiana), Neem (Azadirachta indica), Piple (Ficusreligiosa), Babul (Acacia Arabica), Khatal (Artocarpus heterophyllus), Eucalyptus(Eucalyptus globulus), Sal (Shorea robusta), Khair (Acacia catechu), Asan (Terminaliatomentosa), Karam (Adina cordifolia), Sidha (Lagerstroemia parviflora), Gamhar (Gmelinaarborea), Semal (Bombax malabaricum), Medh (Litsaea semifera), Bel (Aegle marmelos),Kedar (Garuga pinnata), Galgal (Cochlospetmum gosaypium), Kend (Diospyros tomentosa),Kusum (Schlfichera trijuga), Shisham (Dalbergia latifolia), Siris (Boswellia serrata),Bamboo (Dendrocalamus strictus) etc.

1.7.2 Fauna

Animals and birds found within the adjacent area are of very general type reported by thelocal people consisting of snacks, reptiles, rabbits, wild pigs, monkeys and jackals. Birdsinclude pigeons, parrots, crows, wild fowls and owls etc.

1.8 Socio-Economic EnvironmentThere is no human settlement within the proposed lease boundary as well as within 500 mfrom the mine site. Palamu district is spreading over an area of 5043.8 sq. km. The totalpopulation of Palamu district as per the 2011 census is 19, 36,319 persons with urbanpopulation of 2,25,693 persons and rural population of 17,10,612 persons. Density ofpopulation of the district is 381 per sq. km. There is no industry in the area. Local people aredependent on agriculture which is possible only once in a year due to lack of irrigationfacility. Local people are fully dependent of daily labour job, forest products, agriculture andemployment in mines. In general, people of the region are poor and mining will help them toget job in the mine to prevent migration. SC population is 27.59% and ST population is9.03%.




II. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

2.1 Impact on Air Environment

The proposed mine site is located in barren small hilly area located in remote village wherelimited agriculture is practiced during rainy season only. Only a few household are living inthe area and population density of village is very less. The area does not have any industrialactivity in the core/ buffer zone and hence the ambient air quality of the area is good. Miningwill be carried out in a small area and loading will be done manually. Impact on air qualitydue to mining will not be significant.

2.2 Impact on Water Environment

2.2.1 Surface Water

There is no surface water body in and around lease area. Hence, effect on surface waterquality will be negligible. In order to arrest rain water flowing from the lease boundary tosurrounding area, runoff water will be accumulated in the pit sump/water harvesting pit. KoelNadi is flowing around 02 km away from the mine site and effect on water quality of the riveris not expected as no water is allowed to flow directly from the mine site. The water qualityof pond water is within the surface water quality standard IS: 2296, 1992.

2.2.2 Ground WaterThe proposed mining operation will be carried out in limited scale on a small hilly area abovegroundwater level. The mineral formation does not contain any harmful elements; hence nocontamination will take place into ground water. Moreover, settling pond and pit sump willbe constructed for rain water harvesting and ground water recharge. Final mine pit will beconverted into pond after mine closure, which will further help in ground water recharge andutilization of pond water for irrigation and other domestic uses.

Water required for different mining uses will be around 236.00 Kl per annum (Table 30).This water requirement shall be met by constructing a bore well fitted with small dieseloperated pump (3.00 HP) and partly from pit sump. Water quality of the mining area will notbe affected.

Total annual water requirement for the mine 236,000 l




2.3 Impact on Noise LevelNoise will be created by the movement of the tractors/dumpers. However, noise generated bythese will be occurring at the very low level and ambient noise level in the buffer zone shallbe within permissible limit of CPCB. Noise level in the core zone shall be maintained as perDGMS standard for continuous noise exposure level. Controlled blasting is proposed, henceeffect of ground vibration and blasting generated noise shall be within in the DGMS standard.

2.4 Impact on Land EnvironmentThe proposed mining operation will be carried out in limited scale on a small barren hillyarea. Very little amount of soil is present in small patches. Soil within the leasehold area willbe used for plantation purpose. In order to arrest siltation during rainy season, a garland drainwill be constructed around the leasehold area and overburden dump, and runoff water will beaccumulated in the settling ponds/water harvesting pits/sump. Further, plantation/green beltshall be developed along lease boundary and transport road. The open pit will be convertedinto pond after mine closure, which will further help in use of water for agriculture for localpeople. Hence, no negative impact on land environment is expected.

2.5 Impact on Biological EnvironmentThe leasehold area is barren. Hence, impact on biological environment in not expected. Asmentioned earlier, it is proposed to develop a green belt around the lease boundary and alongboth sides of transport road. This will help in improving biological environment of the area.

2.6 Impact of Socio-economic EnvironmentThere is no habitat in the lease hold area as well as within 500 m from lease boundary. Therewill be no adverse impact of mining but up to some extent socio-economic environment ofthe area will improve as, the mining activity and green belt development will create new jobopportunities for the local people. The pit pond after mine closure shall be used foragricultural purpose, growing of fish, drinking water for animal and other domestic uses.Further applicant will provide the occupational health and safety by providing regularmedical check-up and medicine distribution. Proposed mining operation will improve thefinancial status of the local people.

Further a few amount of waste available in the portion will be usedfor road construction of the ML area. A temporary office-cum-rest shelter bore well andwater tank will be constructed in the mine as shown in Plate 5. Anticipated stone productionduring 1st year will be 735000 tonne with a daily production of around 2450 tonne,considering 300 working days in a year.

During Second YearDuring second year, third slice in whole of lease area will be excavated from 216 m to 213 mRL with 3 m depth will be excavated below the first slice and second slice as shown in Plate6. Further, forming fourth slice from 213 m to 210 m depth with an average height of 3 m.Anticipated stone production during 2nd year will be 735000 tonne with a daily production ofaround 2450 tonne, considering 300 working days in a year.

During Third YearDuring 3rd year, remaining part of fourth slice of maximum 6 m depth will be excavatedbelow the first slice, second slice and third slice in upto RL of 207 m in whole portion oflease area (Plate 7). Anticipated stone production during 3rd year will be 735000 tonne with adaily production of around 2450 tonne, considering 300 working days in a year.

During Fourth YearDuring 4th year, fifth and sixth slice with a maximum 3 m depth will be excavated below inup to RL of 204 m depth in lease area (Plate 8). Anticipated stone production during 4th yearwill be 735000 tonne with a daily production of around 2450 tonne, considering 300 workingdays in a year.

During Fifth YearDuring 5th year, remaining part of sixth slice and first bench with a maximum 3 m depth willbe excavated below the first, second, third, fourth fifth slice in whole area up to RL of 291 min lease area (Plate 9). Further, a third bench will be started from 204 m to 198 m with anaverage height of 6 m. Anticipated stone production during 5rd year will be 735000 tonnewith a daily production of around 2450 tonne, considering 300 working days in a year.

During Conceptual PeriodDuring conceptual period (6-13th year) mining will be done below ground level 198 mRL by benching method of 6 m height and 6 m width (Plate 12). A statutory/safetybarrier of 7.5 m will be left as un-mined within the lease boundary Average productionduring conceptual period (6-11th year) will be a daily production of around 2450 tonne.




Proposed Rate of Production When the Mine is fully developedDuring five years plan period the mining of saleable stone is proposed to be 2450 tonne ofROM stone per day. The life of mine at the proposed rate of production will be MineableReserve / yearly rate of production ~ 8069062.50/ (2450 x 300) = 10.97 years.

Ultimate extent & size of the pit:Ultimate extent and size of the mine is shown in Plates 12.

Final slope angle of the closure of the mine:The individual bench slope shall be kept around 70° with the height of each bench not morethan 3 m and width minimum of 3 m. The final slope of the quarry walls at the end of theclose of the mine shall be maintained at 45o.

Life of the Mine:Total Life of the mine will be 11 years.

Mineral Beneficiation:There will be no mineral beneficiation proposed during the plan period.

Review of Implementation of Mining Plan/ Scheme of Mining including five yearsprogressive closure plan up to the final closure of mine:Indicative in detail the various proposals committed with special emphasis on theproposals for protection of environment in the approved Mining Plan/ Scheme of Miningincluding five years.

Progressive Closure Plan up to the closure of mine vis-a-vis their status ofimplementation. Highlight the area, which might have been contaminated by miningactivities & type of contaminants that might be found there. The reasons for deviationfrom the proposals if any with corrective measures taken should also be given.The lease area is virgin as such there is no implementation of Mining Plan/Miningscheme previously. Thus, Mining Plan with a Progressive Mine Closure Plan is preparedby the applicant (lessee) for getting Mine approval and subsequently mining operationwill be started accordingly.

Mined Out land:Mined out land during plan period is 12.24 acre.

The Land use Pattern after Conceptual Plan Period would be as under

Reclamation & Rehabilitation Proposed of Mined out AreaNo reclamation is proposed as mine is not touching the ultimate pit limit during thepresent plan period. There is no habitation in the ML area, hence no rehabilitationprogram has been considered.

Water Quality ManagementThere is no river or nala flowing in the leasehold. Since a major portion of the lease areacomprises of gently sloping hillock surrounded with peripheral slope all around. Therewill be no problem of water drainage. This is all the more true as the area ispredominantly rocky. Due to peripheral slope, the natural flow of water will be towardsvalley down below the hillock.

Water Environment ManagementNo special arrangement is required to take care of ground water. To avoid surface run-offduring the monsoon season settling tank has been proposed in the lower portion of leaseboundary.

Air Quality Management:Impact on air quality: The contribution of fugitive dust generation is very marginal dueto the manual mining operations within the ML area created by digging. Loading ofmineral will be done manually and water spraying on transport road will be practiced.

Air Quality Management:Following air pollution control measures will be taken to suppress fugitive emission:

All service roads shall be boulder packed and maintained properly. Dispatch Tractors carrying stone shall be maintained and cleaned regularly. Haul roads will be compacted and water spraying arrangement shall be made to

suppress fugitive emission.Waste Management Nature of wasteSmall amount of overburden material will be generated.

Disposal & locationOverburden material will be dumped in the south-east corner of leasehold area.

Top-Soil Management:Top soil (wherever available) shall be stacked separately with proper slope and adequate




safeguards, and shall be utilized for biological reclamation and rehabilitation of mined outarea in the later stage. A stone wall shall be constructed around the soil dump to controlerosion and grass plants (Bamboo and Kashi grasses) shall be seeded in the inactive side ofsoil dump.

Tailing Dam Management:Not applicable.

InfrastructureExistence of Public Road/Railway Line if Any Nearby And Approximate Distance:M/s Shri Vinayak Constructin Stone Mines & Crusher lease area is situated in the villageRewaratu, Thana Lessliganj, Palamu district, Jharkhand. The lease area is approachable fromthe Daltanganj railway station at a distance of 34 km, and from NH-75 around 05 km by statehighway and village road around 02 km.

AirportThe nearest airport from the area is Ranchi which is 245 km from the Stone Mine.

Nearest RailwayDaltonganj 34 km distance

Nearest HighwayNH-75, 05 km distance.

Disposal of Mining MachineryThere is no requirement of decommissioning of the mining machineries, as the miningmachineries are movable and will be used in the next mining site.

Safety and Security:The active opencast working will be properly fenced off from the surface as per DGMSstatutory provision to avoid any unforeseen accident due to unauthorized entry of person.At the end of the life of the mine when the mine will be abandon it will be properlyfenced off from all entries as per statute.

Disaster Management and Risk AssessmentThe area is hilly area. No possibility to flooding the area. Since the pits are developed onthe hard compact and medium grain rocks hence, there are no possibilities of slopefailure. The Risk Assessment & Risk Management Plan will be prepared for safety ofman & machinery deployed in the mining activities as per Mining Act, Rules, andRegulations & DGMS circulars.

Care & Maintenance during Temporary DiscontinuanceThere is no discontinuance possibility.




Economic Repercussion of Closure of Mine and Manpower Retrenchment:Not applicable.

Envisaged Repercussions on the Expectation of the Society Around Due to Closure ofMineNot applicable.

Time Scheduling for AbandonmentThe Mine will be closed after 11 years of mining operation.

Reclamation & Rehabilitation of Mine-Out landMined out area will be converted into pond by filing thin layer of soil at the bottom ofpit. Surrounding area within lease boundary will be covered into green belt. As there isno habitation in the ML area, hence no rehabilitation program has been considered.

Measure to be taken for protection of water bodies available in the lease area includingcontrol of erosion, sedimentation and siltation, water treatment, diversion of watercourses, protection of contamination of ground water from leaching, treatment of acidmine drainage etc –

There is no river or stream flowing in the leasehold. Major portion of the lease areacomprises of gently sloping hillock surrounded with peripheral slope all around. Therewill be no problem of water drainage as the area is predominantly rocky.Due to peripheral slope, the natural flow of water will be towards valley down below thehillock.No significant arrangement is required to take care of ground water as ground water willbe recharged by constructing sump/recharge pit/siltation pond. To avoid surface run-offduring the monsoon season peripheral/garland drain connected with settling tank hasbeen proposed around lower portion of lease boundary.




Corrective Measures Taken For Prevention of Pollution of Air QualityImpact on air quality: The contribution of fugitive dust generation is very marginal dueto the manual mining operations within the ML area created by loading andtransportation.

Air Quality Management:Following air pollution control measures will be taken to suppress fugitive emission:

All service roads shall be boulder packed and maintained properly. Dispatch Tractors and tippers carrying stone shall be maintained and clean

regularly. Haul roads will be compacted and water spraying arrangement shall be made to

suppress fugitive emission.

Disposal of Waste Material and protective measures to be taken from generation of air,water and land pollutants while handling of waste materialDisposal & locationOverburden material will be dumped in the south-east corner of leasehold area.

Dump ManagementFew amount of waste will be generated, which is used for approach road constructions.
