CHAPTER - I

INTRODUCTION

Mining Environment and development have become complimentary to each

other. As a result of developmental activities visible ill-effects of the

environmental degradation are clear and give signals of the concern.

Therefore a sustainable development of the area involving extraction of

mineral wealth vis-à-vis protection of environment is the ultimate

solution for betterment of mankind.

1.1 PURPOSE OF REPORT

The Environmental Impact Assessment has been prepared to assess the

current environmental scenario of the area and then based on the activities of

mining proposed, to carry out Environmental Management Plan. The plan will

identify and address the impacts, where these are adverse in nature, and

thereafter design mitigative measures to manage such impacts in a

manner as to conserve environment and ecology of the area. The EMP

has been prepared with a view to ultimately ensure that the adverse

impacts are minimized if these cannot be prevented altogether.

method. Proposed production is 75, 00,000 MTPA of Sand.

2.2 NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE

COUNTRY AND OR REGION:

The basic objective of the project is to effective utilization of Mineral in the

country and /or region. With the development and industrialization has

enhanced the demand of building material in last 10-15 years. Mainly in

infrastructure projects like highways, buildings, township etc., which has raised

the demand of Sand beside of the mineral. Sand mining not only provides the

building material but also employment, economic growth of the state that will

ultimately enhance the socio-economic status of the people of the region / area.

The production of minerals will benefit to the State in the form of Royalty. Apart

from this, the project will generate direct and indirect employment opportunities

from the nearby villages. Also, the mine management will conduct medical

camps at regular interval in the nearby villages and will help in providing

infrastructure like school furniture, water tankers, etc.

2.4 DEMANDS-SUPPLY GAP:

There is large demand of sand for construction activities in the region. Demand

of the sand is fulfilled by these project end users in the open market. The

entire Sand produced will be used in the construction of roads, building and

other infrastructures.

2.5 PHYSIOGRAPHY

The topography of the applied area is mainly part of river with shallow depth

and undulations. The highest elevation of the applied lease area is 245 mRL

and lowest being 300 mRL. The drainage pattern of this area in general

flowing from NE to SW direction.

2.6 DRAINAGE:

The district area is occupied by Indo-Gangetic alluvim. There are no surface

features worth to mention except that the area is traversed and drained by

seasonal streams namely, Beghna and Markanda. The Major River Markanda

flows from NE to SW which originates in Nahan hills.Chautang, Khand and

Omla nalas of local existence also drain the district. The general slope of the

land surface is From NE to SW and elevation of the lease area varies from

296m above msl near, Noorgarh in north east to Rajoli 292m amsl in north.

The general level near Mullana is about 277m amsl and 269m amsl in the

extreme SE of the lease area The River Markanda provides the major drainage

in the lease area. The general phygiograpy of the Lease area is gently sloping

from NE to SW side indicating the flow direction of river.

Physiographic ally the area is slightly slopping NE to SW. However a little

part in the extreme northeastern area of the district is occupied by Siwalik

hills, and falls in the zone of “Dissected Rolling Plain”. The area slopes towards

southwest with an average gradient of 1.5m/km. The general elevation in the

district varies between 245m to 300m above MSL. The soils are non-calcareous



37

and sandy loam on the surface, and loam to clayey loam at depth, and placed

under the classification of soil as Udipsamments/Udorthents.

Soil/Alluvium

Sand

Gravel

Boulder

There is no clear demarcation between the litho units. They have been deposit

in a mixed form. The Litho- units exposed around the riverbed belong to

Shivalik Super- Group. The mineral Boulders, Gravel and sand have formed by

weathering of rocks and then deposition on the flood plains of the rivers

originated from the Shivaliks. These have been washed by rainwater during

rainy season and deposited in river bed in the form of boulders, gravels and

sand of different sizes and shapes. These minerals are sorted by screening. The

max depth of the minerals is not known.

Soil/ alluvium varying in thickness from 2-4m constitute the top horizons in

the area suitable for agriculture. Markanda & Begna Rivers meanders through

the area exposing the alluvium and soil at the banks. Boulder, gravel & sand is

found in the river bed. Thickness of Boulder, gravel & sand is more than

10meters. This bed is presently dry and water flows only during the rainy

season The Sand exposed in the River bed of Markanda and its tributaries

surrounding areas is the product of the deposition of the sediments brought

and deposited in the flood plains of River Markanda. These sediments are of

recent geological formation. The litho-units exposed within the river and

surrounding areas have formed as water borne sediments brought by flood

water during rainy season every year and deposited in riverbed.

Life of Mine;

The lease area shall be replenished with minerals every year during rainy season in

the catchment area of Markanda and Begna Rivers.

2.10 METHOD OF MINING

The method of mining is semi-mechanized; a loading of Bajri with the help of

light wait excavator’s to Truck or Dumper of 25 ton capacity. This will ensure

supply to the consumer or buyer directly from the mine.

The vehicle for transport of sand from mine to the destination is will be

towards both sides through approach roads connecting to tar roads. Well

connected to main highways. No proessing of mineral will be done at site.



43

2.11 REPLENISHMENT IN MINING AREA

Replenishment Study of the area:

A. Dendy-Bolton formula for calculation of Sediment Yeild

Dandy Bolton formula is often used to check whether the sedimentation yield

exceeds the replenishment rate but the whole question is whether there is

adequate monitoring of the river basin, the answer is no as hydrological

stations are sparsely spread. The formula uses catchment area and mean

annual runoff as key determinants to give a yield value. It does not

differentiate in basin wide smaller streams and their characteristics. CWC

distinguishes river basins as classified and nonclassified, as per the latest

hydrological data for unclassified River basins; there are 122 GDSW (Gauge,

Discharge, Sediment & Water Quality) sites in 12 such basins, the number was

147 in 2005. This brings in context the whole issue of scientific mining, thereby

indicating that the monitoring of sediment yield in rivers / streams within the

river basins is essential to arrive at extraction rates and express and conduct

environmental studies based on these basin wide characteristics which should

become part of the‘Terms of Reference’.

B. Sediment Yield versus Drainage Area

Dandy and Bolton studied sedimentation data from about 1500 reservoirs,

ponds, and sediment detention basins. In developing their formulas, they used

data from about 800 of these reservoirs with drainage areas greater than or

equal to 1 mi2. The smaller watersheds-those of drainage area less than 1 mi2-

were excluded because of their large variability of sediments yield, reflecting

the diverse effects of soils, local terrain, vegetation, land use, and agricultural

practices. For drainage areas between 1 and 30,000 mi2,Dandy and Bolton

found that the annual sediment yield per unit area was inversely related to the

0.16 power of the drainage area: In which S= sediment yield in tons per square

mile per year; SR = Reference sediment yield corresponding to a 1- mi2

drainage area, equal to 1645 tons per year; A = drainage area in square miles;

and AR = reference drainage area (1 mi2)



44

Annual sediment deposition at the place of mining:

Ambala Unit-2 comprises of 23 mining quarries of total production of 75,

00,000 MTPA. Drainage basin area of river Markanda and Begna is 1547

Suqare kilo meter and average annual rainfall of area 925 mm is consider for

sediment calculation.

This is accomplished by taking the converted dimensionless ratio flow-duration

curve and multiplying increments/duration of time in days by the sediment

yield associated with that flow. The computations for total annual suspended

and bed load sediment yield are given below:

Sediment yield:

Formula

For Q < 2 in:

S = 1280 Q 0.46 [1.43-0.26 log (A)]

For Q > 2 in:

S = 1965 e -0.055Q [1.43-0.26 log (A)]

Here:

Q (in) = Mean Annual run off = 925 mm

A (mi2) = Catchment area= 1547 km2

Sediment yield S= (tons/yr)

S= 1965 e-0.055x925[1.43 - 0.26 log (1547)]

S = 101792.6 MT/Year

Thus, 101792.6 MT/Year sediment will be regenerated every year in the

catchment area increasing the mineable reserves.

*source: - Calculation of sediment yield by the Dendy-Bolton formula

Dendy-Bolton formula also says that actual sediments yield from individual

drainage basins may vary 10 fold or even 100 fold from computed yields. Since

itinerary of river Markanda and Begna indicates that its basin comprises of

sediment rock with good average rainfall there will be fair chances of yield of

sediments to be 50 fold of computed results. Hence actual sediment yield will

be 101792.6 X 50= 5089630 MT/Year.



45

Significant feature of Mining

The removal of sand shall be done opencast semi-mechanized method

The working period for removal of sand will be restricted to 300 days and

during rainy season no mining shall be undertaken.

The mining operations in the applied lease area would be confined to day

light hours, from 9 A.M. to 5 P. M.

Thus virtually each block would be rested for replenishment for two

consecutive monsoons.

The Bajri will be loaded into trolleys by excavator and transported to directly

sell.

2.12 EMPLOYMENT GENERATION:

The removal of sand in the applied lease area will involve contractual labor.

About 199 persons will be engaged in mining of Bajri; loading of material into

trucks/dumpers. The Bajri will be loaded and sold directly. The vehicle for

transport of Bajri from mine to the destination is provided by the proponents

and will also engaged labors for loading and un-loading of Bajri.

2.13 WASTE GENERATION

There is no top soil, overburden or waste to be encountered in the area. Waste

disposal is not required and not proposed.

2.14 TRANSPORTATION

The removed sand will be loaded in tractor trolleys by excavator and will

directly be sold to the buyers. About 25000 metric tons of Bajri would be

required to be moved daily.



46

FIGURE 2.1: TRANSPORTATION ROUT MAP



47

2.15 ANTICIPATED LIFE OF MINE

There is no specific life of the applied mine area as the area under reference is

open and barren river bed of the river and whatever quality of sand minerals

are extracted during one year; more than the extracted quantity will be

replenished every year during monsoon.

2.16 THE QUANTUM OF DEVELOPMENT AND TONNAGE OF

PRODUCTION:

There is no development required in the section under removal of Bajri. This

could be a levelling operation of the floor of river to a length of about 30-40 m

for positioning of vehicle at the loading point.

Mining Process:

Lease has been allotted for a period of 10 years and it is proposed to work the

mine simultaneously so that there is no pressure of mining in one particular

area, year wise proposed production details is as follows.

FIVE YEARS PROPOSED PRODUCTION DETAILS IN MT

Year Total Production(MT)

1 75,00,000

2 75,00,000

3 75,00,000

4 75,00,000

5 75,00,000

Total 37,500,000

2.17 USE OF MINERAL

Sand is mainly consumed by infrastructure & housing industries and

development.

Sand is used for mainly for construction work with cement of lime mortar.

The specifications of average grade of Bajri is that it should be gravel free

and of desired porosity. It should be siliceous in nature.



48

2.18 UTILITIES

A. Power Supply:

The electric power supply is not available at river site, while in the nearby

area (huts, villages) electricity is available. During the removal of sand, no

power supply will be required.

B. Water:

Water requirement for domestic/drinking purpose is fulfilled through the

nearby villages from hired tankers. The total water requirement for the project

is estimated 100 KLD. Water for mining operation (dust suppression) and for

domestic & drinking purpose will be supplied with the help dug well situated

in the nearby village and water tankers.

3.4 PHYSIOGRAPHY

3.4.1 Relief

Physiographic ally the area is slightly slopping NE to SW. However a little

part in the extreme northeastern area of the district is occupied by Siwalik

hills, and falls in the zone of “Dissected Rolling Plain”. The area slopes



55

towards southwest with an average gradient of 1.5m/km. The general

elevation in the district varies between 245m to 300m above MSL. The

soils are non-calcareous and sandy loam on the surface, and loam to clayey

loam at depth, and placed under the classification of soil as

Udipsamments/Udorthents.

3.4.2 Drainage:

The district area is occupied by Indo-Gangetic alluvim. There are no

surface features worth to mention except that the area is traversed and

drained by seasonal streams namely, Beghna and Markanda. The Major

River Markanda flows from NE to SW which originates in Nahan

hills.Chautang, Khand and Omla nalas of local existence also drain the

district. The general slope of the land surface is From NE to SW and

elevation of the lease area varies from 296m above msl near Noorgarh in

north east to Rajoli 292m amsl in north. The general level near Mullana

is about 277m amsl and 269m amsl in the extreme SE of the lease area

The River Markanda provides the major drainage in the lease area. The

general phygiograpy of the Lease area is gently sloping from NE to SW

side indicating the flow direction of river.

Refer Figure 3.2: Drainage Pattern of the Study Area.

57

3.5 REPLENISHMENT OF THE AREA

The rotational mining shall be adopted to facilitate the replenishment of the

excavated part of river during rainy season. Thus the mineable area has

been divided in two parts i.e. the upstream part and the downstream part.

The mining of these two part is suggested on rotation basis in such a way

that working site of previous year mining will act as depository for the

monsoon season.

3.6 HUMAN SETTLEMENT

There is no human settlement within the applied lease area. Total 476

villages with 224334 household within the study area with population of

1128350.

3.7 HYDROLOGICAL ASPECTS

The district is occupied by Indo-Gangetic alluvial plain of Quaternary age.

The Central Ground Water Board has drilled 20 exploratory borehole, 3 slim

holes, and 13 piezometers to delineate and determine potential aquifer

zones, evaluation of aquifer characteristics etc. Seismic surveys conducted in

the area reveal that alluvial thickness in the district is large and the

basement rock is estimated to be encountered at 3000m depth below MSL.

And thickness of alluvium thins down towards southwest. In south west and

western parts of the district the sediments are more fine grained in nature,

and constituted of fine to medium grained sands, clays, silts and kankars

with occasional gravel. The clays are usually brown to yellowish in colour

and sticky to silty in nature.

The sands are usually fine grained, hence it becomes difficult to develop

wells so as to give sand free water with conventional well designs. Towards

east and south eastern part of the district the clays are cream or light grey

coloured and are soft and silty. The sands are also mostly medium to coarse

grained in nature in comparison to the fine texture of sands in south

western and western part of the district. The ground water exploration

revealed the presence of 3 aquifer groups down to a depth of 450 m.



58

comprising fine to medium grained sand, clay, silt and kankar with

occasional gravel. The formation in general is fine grained in nature. The

first granular zone forms the water table aquifer and occurs upto 167 m

depth and is underlain by 10 to 15m thick clay bed. The second aquifer

occurs at a depth ranging between 65 to 294m with varying thickness of 26

to 152m.

This aquifer constitutes comparatively less coarse material than the first

group and is characterised by presence of Kankar. The third one is

characterised by fine sandy beds alternating with thick clay beds at a depth

ranging from 197 to 385m. Exist between 180 and 205 m depth. The fourth

aquifer occurs below 212 m onwards. Shallow tubewells are generally

constructed upto a depth of 40 m. The discharge of shallow tubewells ranges

100 to 600 litres per minutes for a moderate drawdown. Deep tubewells

constructed to a depth of 150m.yield upto 2000 to 3000 litres per minutes for

6m to 10m drawdown. However deeper tubewells tapping aquifer zones

between150m to 400m depth, discharge ranges from 248 to3293 LPM for a

drawdown ranging from 2.84 to 12.93m. Transmissivity values ranges

from154 to 4900 m2 /day, storativity1.39x10-4 to 1.01x10-1.

In general hydraulic conductivity values of aquifer zones decreases with depth,

with in 150m depth it is around 10m/day and for deeper horizons between

150m to 400m was around 6m/day.

Water level behavior:

The depth to water level ranges from less than 3 m bgl to 14 m bgl and

water level of deeper aquifer is reported up to 50 m bgl during pre monsoon

period in Saha block.The water level is deep in a small area occupied by

bouldary formation in the extreme north east corner of the district. The

water logging condition exists in the area south west of Ambala city. The

long-term water levels trend during pre monsoon period indicates in general

average decline of 0.36 m per year with a range of 0.078m to 1.875m. The

long-term water level trend is showing a rise in little area falling in

northern part of Ambala block and not of much significance being 0.10 m per

year.



59

Ground water flow:

The elevation of the water table in the district varies from 245 m to 300 m

above mean sea level. The average gradient of the water table is of the order

of 1 m/km. The overall flow of ground water is from north east to southwest

direction.

3.8 ATMOSPHERIC CONDITION

Atmospheric conditions include meteorological condition and ambient air

quality of the study area. Meteorological conditions with respect to wind

velocity and direction in the study area was determined by IMD station

Ambala. The required data for interpretation the ambient air quality of the

study area was generated by establishing a monitoring network. Regular

field observations as per the norms of MOEF and CPCB were taken from the

established monitoring stations.

3.9 METEOROLOGY

Introduction

Meteorological factors such as wind speed; direction variation in

temperature, humidity etc. play a direct role in dispersion of pollutants

atmospheric pressure, rainfall and cloud cover also govern this activity.

Other factors such as terrain and local topography also take part in

atmospheric dispersion. Meteorology plays a vital role in affecting the

dispersion of pollutants. Since meteorological factors show wide fluctuations

with time, meaningful interpretation can be drawn only from long term

reliable data. Such source of data is the Indian meteorological Department

(IMD), which maintains a network of meteorological stations at several

important locations. The nearest IMD stations Delhi, Meteorological

information available for this station is temperature, humidity, rainfall,

wind speed and wind direction. The data recorded at Delhi IMD station for

the period March, 14 to May, 14 are summarized in below table.

Wind Rose

Wind speed of a site plays a vital role in predicting the extent of air

pollution. It gives a clear view about the extent to which air pollutants are

carried before they touch the ground. Wind rose is diagrammatic

representation of wind speed in a specified direction with its arms

representing sixteen directions; each arm gives a clear frequency

distribution of wind speed.

Wind roses are generated with the site meteorological information’s initially

collected. These raw data are processed with certain interpolation and

stability classes and joint frequency function are developed to eventually

reach to the development of wind roses.

Refer Figure 3.2: Wind Rose Diagram

Baseline Scenario

Ambient Air Quality Monitoring reveals that the minimum & maximum

concentrations of PM10 amongst all the 19 AQ monitoring stations were

found to be 62.24/m3 at AQ12 and 78.76 µg/m3 at AQ16, respectively. As far

as the gaseous pollutants SO2 and NO2 are concerned, the prescribed

CPCB limit of 80µg/m3 for residential and rural areas has never surpassed

at any station. The minimum concentrations of SO2 were found to be 8.2

µg/m3 at AQ12 and however maximum concentration of SO2 was found to

be 15.98 µg/m3 at AQ9.

The minimum & maximum concentrations of NO2 were found to be 22.7

µg/m3 at AQ19 and 32.97 µg/m3 at AQ6 respectively.

3.11 NOISE ENVIRONMENT

Mining and allied activities are usually noise-prone activities. Excessive

noise levels may cause adverse effects on human being and its associated

environment including domestic animals, wild life, natural ecosystem and

structure.

The noise problem is said to exist when the sound level in the air causes

interference in human activities such as disturbance in sleep, work and

speech communication leading to annoyance. Perception of noise by

individuals varies depending on number of factors such as natural

sensitivity / hearing ability, level of exposure, time of the day, socio-cultural

activities etc. at the time of exposure to sound. The impact of noise at

community level can have different effects varying from aesthetic

impairment such as annoyance, frequent hypertension to as high as loss of

hearing. The health impact of noise on individual depends on several

factors, viz. physical dose (intensity of sound pressure level and duration of

exposure), frequency spectrum, intermittency etc. as well as human factors

like sex, age, health condition, occupational exposure etc. The background

noise levels within the mine and around it were recorded using sound meter

to establish the existing scenario.



72

3.11.1 Monitoring Methodology of Noise Level

Noise standards have been designated for different types of land use, i.e.

residential, commercial, industrial and silence zones, as per ‘The Noise

Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000, Notified by the Ministry of

Environment and Forests, New Delhi on February 14, 2000’. Different

standards have been stipulated during day time (6 am to 10 pm) and night

time (10 pm to 6 am).

The noise analysis within the study area was recorded using 4-20, sound

level meter. The analysis reveals that the noise’s well within the permissible

range.

The noise rating method as Leq i.e. equivalent sound pressure level has

been adopted for the measurement of noise level in various selected

sampling locations of this region. It is the energy means of the noise level

over a specified period and is expressed in terms of decibels. Methodology for

monitoring of noise levels is given in below table.

3.11.2 Location of Noise Monitoring Stations

3.12 SOIL ENVIRONMENT

Soil is defined as a thin layer of earth's crust which serves as a natural

medium for the growth of plants. It is the unconsolidated mineral matter

that has been subjected to and influenced by genetic and environmental

factors, such as, parent material, climate organism and physiochemical

action of wind, water and sum light an acting over a long period of time.

Soil differs from the parent materials in the morphological, physical,



77

chemical and biological properties. Also soils differ among themselves in

some or all the properties depending on the differences in the gothic and

environmental factors. The soil samples were analyzed for physical and

chemical characteristics.

3.12.1 Methodology for Soil Monitoring

Soil samples from depth (0-15 cm) were collected from these villages area

for estimation of the physicochemical characteristics of soil. Air-dried and

Sieved samples have been used for determination of physical properties of

soil. Standard methods were followed for the analysis of soil samples.

3.12.2 Soil Sampling Location

Soil survey was carried out by Environmental Expert Team, while

conducting the studies for preparing the report for the main plant of the

applicant, by drawing samples from various locations in pre-monsoon

seasons 2014 and analyses the same for physical and chemical

parameters.

Results of Analysis of the Soil

Soil is the media for supplying the nutrients for plant growth. Nutrients

are available to plants at certain pH and pH of soils can reflect by addition

of pollutants in it either by air, or by water or by solid waste or by all of

these. In order to establish the baseline status of soil characteristics, soil

samples were collected at 19 sampling locations.

The analysis results show that soil is basic in nature as pH value ranges

from 6.65 to 8.03, which shows that the soil is alkaline in nature.

Potassium is found to be from 74.31 mg/kg to 186.48 mg/kg. The water

holding capacity is found in between 18.79 to 38.45.

3.13 WATER ENVIRONMENT

In order to conduct EIA Studies, baseline data pertaining to water

environment of the existing project was carried out evaluating the basin

characteristics, drainage pattern, and hydrology.

3.13.1 Surface Water Quality

The project itself is a part of surface water body. The applied lease falls in

Beghna and Markanda River, will not get polluted and bears a lot of

dissolved oxygen in it. The natural treatment of the water current takes

places for a considerable length from the place of origin as the ultraviolet

radiation due to sun is quite high in the upper reaches. The applied lease

area is free of industrial pollutants.

3.13.2 Ground Water Quality Assessment

The sources of potable water are the hand pumps, tub-wells & dug well in

the area. Samples were collected from the available water resources

around the applied mine lease area. The samples were collected & tested

from different sites.

The quality of ground water was studied by collecting water samples from

representative open dug wells, tube wells & hand pumps. The details of



85

water quality sites are given in below table. The samples were collected

during winter season (March., 2014 to May. 2014).

3.13.3 Ground Water Monitoring Methodology

To evaluate the physico-chemical characteristics of the water resources

existing in the study area, water samples from surface and ground water

sources were collected during the pre-monsoon season and characterized

for physico-chemical parameters. Water samples from 10 ground water

source and three surface water sources were characterized. There samples

were taken as grab sample and were analyzed for various parameters and

compared with standards IS: 10500. The locations of water sampling

stations have been shown in below table.

A review of the above chemical analysis that there is some variation in chemical composition of water tapped from

different open wells, tube wells and hand pumps, but the ground water from all sources remains suitable for drinking

purposes as all the constituents are within the limits prescribed for drinking water standards promulgated by Indian

standard IS:10500.

The analysis results indicate that the pH ranges between 7.06 and 8.25.

Dissolved Oxygen (DO) was observed in the range of 5.8 to 7.3 mg/l against the minimum requirement of 4 mg/l. BOD

values were observed to be in the range of 14.2 to 25.03 mg/l.

The chlorides and Sulphates were found to be in the range of 403.51 – 615.32 mg/l and 303.41-475.02 mg/l respectively.

Bacteriological examination of surface water samples revealed the presence of total coliform in range of 172 MPN/100

ml to 186 MPN/100 ml against the limit of 5000 MPN/100 ml.

Based on the results it is evident that most of the parameters of the samples comply with ‘Category C’ standards of CPCB,

indicating drinking water source after conventional treatment and disinfection.

arh,Ganheri,Kakar,Kunda,BinjhalpurJaffarpur,Nurhad,Nahoni,Paplautha,Patti,

Bagradu,Mullana,Hema,Majra,Harra,Ghelri,Haryoli,Sabga

Climate

The climate of the study area can be classified as subtropical monsoon, mild &

dry winter, hot summer and sub-humid which is mainly dry with very hot

summer and cold winter except during monsoon season when moist air of oceanic

origin penetrate into the district. The hot weather season starts from mid March

to last week of the June followed by the south west monsoon which lasts up to

September. The transition period from September to November forms the post

monsoon season. The winter season starts late in November and remains up to

first week of March.

The normal annual rainfall of the district is 1076 mm, and is unevenly

distributed over the area. The average rainy days are 44. Generally rainfall in

the district increases from southwest to northeast. Minimum temperature during

the winter season goes down up to 6.8 degree Celsius and the maximum

temperature during the summer exceeds even 40.8 degree celsius.

Survey was conducted in the proposed area of Markanda River and 10 km buffer

area for the present biodiversity study. The study was under taken during



100

summer season, 2014. No reserves or protected forest is present within the

applied area. No National Park, Sanctuary exists within 10 km of the applied

area.

Survey methodology

Flora

The present study on the floral assessment for the proposed project activity is

based on extensive field survey of the area. The study has been conducted in

summer season. The plant species were identified during floral survey and with

the help of nearby institutions / University and by secondary sources. Besides the

collection of plant species, information was also collected with vernacular names

of plant species made by local inhabitants. In this process the whole study area

was divided into different sections to get the maximum diversity of plant species.

The sampling sites were selected based on land use pattern, topography and

floristic composition of the study area. Data on forest type, legal status and their

extent in the study area has been collected from forest department. The other

relevant data on biodiversity, economically important plant species and

medicinal plant, rare and endangered species in the study area have been

collected during site visit and from different secondary sources.

Fauna

The study of fauna takes substantial amount of time to understand the specific

faunal characteristics of the area. The assessment of fauna has been done by

extensive field survey of the area. During survey, Line Transect method was used

for the study of mammals and Transact & Patch sampling was used for

Amphibians. In addition the following sources were also used during survey.

Sighting during ecological studies

Animal call

Foot mark and excreta

During survey, the presence of wildlife was also confirmed from the local

inhabitants depending on the animal sightings and the frequency of their visits



101

in the project area which was later confirmed from different government offices

like forest department, wildlife department etc.

Avifauna

During Birds survey actual counts of birds were made following the standard

survey technique. Observations were made during a walk through in the chosen

transect for sighting birds. The number of birds observed in each sampling

location was directly counted and listing was made. Birds were noted, counted

and identified with the help of 8X40 “Optima Zenith” binocular and standard

field identification guides.

Forest and forest types in the study area

Tropical dry deciduous forests

These forests are found in the areas where wet season is followed by a relatively

long period of dryness during which trees remain leafless. These forests are

dominated by smaller trees and shrubs and have abundance of shrubs or

sometimes grasses. These forests are found in areas having temperature of 25-

32oC and annual rainfall of 75-125 cm along with a dry season of about six

months. Chief characteristic feature of the forests is open canopy of small (10-15

m high) trees and abundance of shrubs.

Dominant species of the forests in north India are Anogeissus spp., Terminalia,

Buchnnania, Somocarpus, Carissa, Emblica, Madhuca, Acacia, Aegle, Diospyros,

Bauhinia, Eugenia, Zyzyphus, Lannea, Dendrocalamus, Salmelia, Adina, Grewia,

Adathoda and Helicteres, Tectona grandis, Dalbergia. Subdominant species in

these forests are Bambusa, Lantana and grasses like Panicum,

Andropogon and Heteropogon.

Floral Investigation

Core zone (ML area)

The general slope of the mine lease area is from NE to SW and elevation. The

river Markhanda provides the major drainage in the lease area. The general

physiography of the Lease area is gently sloping from NE to SW side indicating

the flow direction of river. Physiographically the lease area is flat terrain. The



102

general elevation of the lease area varies between 245m to 300m above MSL. The

soils are non-calcareous and sandy loam on the surface, and loam to clayey loam

at depth.

The lease area is naturally reclaimed area with no tree species in the lease area.

During dry period in the year, some herb and shrub species observed in the lease

area. Land on both sides is the private agriculture land. Vegetation is limited to

the edges of agriculture land.

The species observed along the boundary of the lease area are Azadirachta

indica, Mangifera indica, Dalbergia sissoo, Ficus religiosa, Acacia nilotica,

Tectona grandis, Ziziphus mauritiana, Pongamia pinnata, Prosopis juliflora,

Albizia lebbeck, Moringa oleifera, Phoenix sylvestris, Tamarindus indica, Albizia

procera, and Bombax ceiba etc.

Some herbs and shrubs were also observed in and around the lease area. These

are Calotropis procera, Lantana camara, Tribulus terrestris, Parthenium

hysterophorus, Tridax procumbens, Argemone Mexicana, Sida acuta, Cassia tora,

Datura stramonium, etc.

Buffer zone (10 km Study area)

The buffer zone of 10 km is dominated by agriculture fields and sparse thorny

scrub vegetation. Common tree species observed during the site visit are Albizia

lebbeck, Albizia procera, Azadirachta indica, Dalbergia sissoo, Ficus

benghalensis, Ficus religiosa, Mangifera indica, Tectona grandis, Acacia nilotica,

103

Parthenium hysterophorus, Euphorbia neriifolia and Tridax procumbens. A

detailed List of Floral Species observed in the study area is given in Table 3.17.

The study area is having lesser amount of plant diversity. The plants observed in

the study area having some medicinal properties are presented in Table no 18.

Faunal Investigation

Mammals

Faunal assessment provides a basis for determining relative abundance and

rarity of each species which is important for assessing the diversity of fauna of a

particular area. Since animals are capable of movements from one place to

another, this makes their study entirely different. Different animals prefer

different types of habitat for food and shelter. During survey species like Indian

Hare (Lepus nigricollis), Five Striped Palm Squirrel (Funambulus pennanti) and

Mangoose (Herpestes edwardsi) were observed in the study area. During the

faunal investigation no Schedule-I species observed in the study area. The list of

fauna/ reptiles/Amphibians found in the study area is given in Table 3.19.

Avifauna

Diversity of avifauna is one of the most important ecological indicators to

evaluate the quality of habitats. Now-a-days, avifaunal diversity has been

decreasing due to the destruction of natural habitats and human disturbances.

Both plant and bird diversity has an important role in maintaining the ecological

balance and these are the indicator of health of the ecosystem. Bird diversity has

a direct relationship with plant diversity. Plant diversity provides a space to

birds for nesting, feeding and breeding.

Different land use in the study area was identified to get maximum bird

diversity. The species observed in the study area are Common Myna

(Acridotheres tristis), Small Blue Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis), Cattle Egret

(Bubulcus ibis), Purple Sunbird (Cinnyris asiaticus), Blue Rock Pigeon (Columba

livia), Magpie Robin (Copsychus saularis), Indian Roller (Coracias benghalensis),

House Crow (Corvus splendens), Little Egret (Egretta garzetta), Koel

(Eudynamys scolopaceus), Small Green Bee Eater (Merops orientalis), White



104

Wagtail (Motacilla alba), Golden Oriole (Oriolus oriolus), House Sparrow(Passer

domesticus), Rose Ringed Parakeet (Psittacula krameri), Red Vented Bulbul

(Pycnonotus cafer), Indian Robin (Saxicoloides fulicatus), Common Babbler

(Turdoides caudate), Jungle Babbler (Turdoides striata).

List of birds observed in the study area are presented in Table 20.

Greenbelt Development

The lease area is in the river bed and devoid of any vegetation. Mining activities

will not cause any harm to riparian vegetation cover as the working will not

extend beyond the offset left against the banks in the river. Land on both sides is

the private agriculture land. Link road from the active zone pass through the

areas. It is proposed to have plantation on both sides of the roads as greenbelt to

provide cover against dust dissemination. River banks will be strengthened by

way of plantation on the banks. Plantation will also be carried out as social

forestry programme in villages, school and the areas allocated by the Panchayat/

State authorities.

Native plants like Neem, Pipal, Khejri, Mango and other local species will be

planted. A suitable combination of trees that can grow fast and also have good

leaf cover shall be adopted to develop the greenbelt. It is proposed to plant 30,000

no’s of native species along with some fruit bearing and medicinal trees during

the plan period.

The expected rate survival is assumed at 80%. To improve the survival rate in

the adverse climate condition necessary consultation would be taken from the

Forest department. Proposed plantation area shall be fenced properly for

improving the survival rate. Plantation will be carried out in the lease area in

phased manner.



118

Criteria for selection of species for greenbelt

The plant species suitable for greenbelt development need to be selected based on

the following criteria:

Fast growing

Thick canopy cover

Perennial and evergreen

Large leaf area index

High sink potential

Guidelines for plantation

The plant species identified for greenbelt development should be planted using

dug-pit technique. The pit size should be in between 45 cm x 45 cm x 45 cm to 60

cm x 60 cm x 60 cm depending on the soil quality. Soil proposed to be used for

filling the pit should be mixed with well decomposed farm yard manure or

sewage sludge at the rate of 3.6 kg (on dry weight basis).The filling of soils should

be completed at least 5-10 days before the actual plantation. Healthy seedlings

of identified species should be planted in each pit. Proper density of plants (no.

per hectare) should be maintained within the greenbelt.

The minimum distance between two plantations should be dependent on the

choice of species and compatibility of different species to grow together. The

distance should be in between 2.5m to 5m for plantation in greenbelt.

Roadside plantation

Minimum of two rows of plants are required for plantation on roadside to

minimize the pollution effects. While planting, care should be taken to ensure

that plants in second row fall in between the two plants of first row.

Selection of plant species

Keeping in view the climatic condition status of soil (Agro climatic zone) and

vegetation types the following plant species are suitable for plantation for the

proposed project site. Plant species for green belt development are given in Table

3.23

3.15 LAND ENVIRONMENT

3.15.1 Land use of Study Area (Buffer Zone)

The total and of the study area is divided into following categories:-

i. Open land

ii. Scrub land

iii. River

iv. Forest

v. Settlement

vi. Agriculture

3.15.1.1 DATA INPUT

IRS LISS3 Multispectral digital FCC (False Color Composite) data from NRSC

Bhuwan Portal has been used for preparation of Land use/ Land cover

thematic map of study area. Project site mine plan map & Google maps and

Toposheet has been used as a reference map for preparation of base layer map

like road, rail network, project site boundary, landmarks point etc.

Technical Details

Satellite Image IRS LISS3

Band Combination 2,3,4

DIP Software ERDAS Imagine 9.2 & Arc GIS 9

3.15.1.2 METHODOLOGY

Land use / Land cover map preparation, Base map creation; and Geometric

correction of satellite image has been processed using ERDAS Imagine 9.2

Software.

The methodology used for Land use pattern of study area is explained in

following headings.



3.15.1.3 GEOREFERENCING OF TOPOMAPS

SOI toposheet has been geo-referenced in geographic lat/long coordinate

system using ERDAS Imagine Software.

3.15.1.4 BASE MAP LAYER CREATION

Project site mine plan map & Google maps and geo-referenced toposheet has

used as a reference map for base layer creation. In base layer linear, polygon

and point feature like road, rail, canal, village location and project site have

been created in vector data format. Base map layer information has been used

for analysis of surrounding feature like road, rail, and village location near

project site activity through superimposed on thematic map for data

integration.

3.15.1.5 INTERPRETATION OF SATELLITE IMAGE

Hybrid technique has been used i.e. visual interpretation and digital image

processing for identification of different land use and vegetation cover classes

based on spectral signature of geographic feature. Spectral signature

represents various land use class. Image interpretation keys are developed,

based on image characteristics like color, tone, size, shape, texture, pattern,

shadow, association etc, which enables interpretation of satellite images for

ground feature.

For validation of Land Use Plan Ground truth data on geographic features of

the study area has been collected by site visit to the area for verification of

information of the different doubtful features of the study areas, which were

found to be responsible for the occurrence of specific spectral reflectance

behavioral patterns. Ground truth data has been carried out for verification of

the ground features (esp. one in doubt) interpretation accuracy and reliability

of remotely sensed data.



CONCLUSION

All vector layer superimposed on land use land cover map for final map

composition and used for analysis and study of area.

It is river bed mining project. River bed will be excavated upto a depth of 3m

thickness leaving statutory barrier. Material will be replenished every year

during the Monsoon. So no change in form of dig will occur. Applied Lease

area will change in form of plantation done during the year.

3.16 SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

The economy of India is mainly based on agriculture sector and the main activity

of rural population being agriculture; the entire infrastructure is oriented

towards this activity.

An area is said to be developed, if it contains the facilities like pakka houses,

metalled roads, hospitals, qualified private doctors, higher secondary schools and

degree colleges, adequate water supply, electric supply, easily available transport

and recreational facilities etc.

Socio-economic study of an area gives an opportunity to assess the socio-economic

conditions of an area. By this study, the changes likely to occur in living and

social standards of the study area due to this mine can also be assessed. It can

undoubtedly be said that due to this mine area gross economic production of the

area will increase substantially. This Mine may provide direct and indirect

employment and will improve the infrastructural facilities and standards of

living of the area. An integral part of environmental study, which deals with the

total environment, is socio- economic environment incorporating various facts

related to socio-economic condition in the area. These includes demographic

structure of the area, provision of basic amenities viz., housing, education, health

and medical services, occupation, water supply, sanitation, communication,

transportation, prevailing diseases, pattern as well as feature of aesthetic

significance such as temples, historical monuments, etc. at the baseline level.

This would help in visualizing and predicting the likely impact depending upon

the nature and magnitude of the project.

3.1.7.5 Socio-economic Survey

A) Sampling Method

A judgmental and purposive sampling method was used for choosing respondents of

various sections of the society i.e. Sarpanch, adult males and females, teachers,

medical practitioners, businesspersons, agriculture laborers, fishermen, unemployed

group etc. Judgmental and purposive sampling method includes the right cases from

the total population that helps to fulfill the purpose of research needs.

Data Collection Method

Data collection is a term used to describe a process of preparing and collecting data,

for example, as part of a process improvement or similar project. The purpose of data

collection is to obtain information to keep on record, to make decisions about

important issues, to pass information on to others. Primarily, data are collected to

provide information regarding a specific topic. Data collection usually takes place

early on in an improvement project, and is often formalized through a data collection

plan which often contains the following activity.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_improvement

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_collection_plan

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_collection_plan



245

Main types of data collection include census, sample survey, and administrative by-

product and each with their respective advantages and disadvantages. A census

refers to data collection about everyone or everything in a group or population and

has advantages, such as accuracy and detail and disadvantages, such as cost and

time.

Field Survey and Observations

Field research involves the collection of primary data or information that is new. This

is collected through surveys and questionnaires that are made out specifically for a

purpose Observations can be conducted on nearly any subject matter and the kinds of

observations will do depend on survey question. Field Survey and Observations were

made at each sampling village and the quality of life of that region is studied. Visits

were made at hospitals, primary health centers and sub-centers to know the health

status of the region. Various governmental organizations such as statistical

department, department of census operations are visited to collect the population

details of that region.

Interview Method

Interview is verbal questioning. Surveys are also conducted through interviews.

Interviews consist of asking questions, listening to individuals and recording their

responses. At times, you may find it more profitable to ask questions to a few

individuals instead of carrying out a large-scale questionnaire based survey. The

interview can be done very informally, e.g. as conversations with people met in the

fields, co-operative stores or block offices. In these settings, one question leads to the

next based on. The responses given to the previous one. At the other end of the scale,

highly structured interviews often rely on questionnaires or interview schedules with

mostly closed-ended questions that allow the respondents only a limited range of

possible answers. Structured interview method is used to collect data regarding the

awareness and opinion from the sample selected of the various socio- economic

sections of the community. The questionnaire mainly highlights the parameters of

primary needs.



246

The interview method has the advantage that almost all perfect sample of the

general population can be reached and respond to the approach. Interview method

helps to collect more correct and accurate information as the interviewer is present

during the field survey.

Socio-economic survey was conducted in 476 villages/ urban areas within the study

area located in all directions with reference to the project site.

The respondents were asked for their awareness/opinion about the project and their

opinion about the impacts of the project, which is an important aspect of socio-

economic environment, viz. job opportunities, education, health care, transportation

facility and economic status.

The salient observations recorded during survey in the study area:

According to survey done in the study area, survey observation as per below:

In the study area main occupation of the populationwere labour work, small

business and private jobs. In a very small quantity agricultural activity is performing

by farmers.

Most of the houses are in pakka form. Very few houses were kaccha.

Roads were well constructed and in the form of pakka road.

Transportation facility is satisfied in the study area. All modes of

transportation facility is existing in the study area

Sanitation facility was satisfied in the study area. Near about 70% population

Major water source in the study area were Hand pumps, Tap water and Bore

well water

Market facilities were available at district/town places

Farmers were depend on mainly monsoon for agricultural activity

The main crops grown in the study area were gram, wheat, barley and oil

seeds

Communication facility is good with mobile network and transportation facility

All villages/ urban areas were well electrified and electricity used for all

purposes



247

Official language in the study area was Hindi while local as well as mother

tongue in the study area is Haryanvi

Mainly firewood was used by villagers for cooking purpose. Other sources are

LPG, kerosene etc.

For education purpose there were many good institutes were found

B) Awareness and Opinion

Awareness is the state or ability to perceive, to feel, or to be conscious of

events, objects or sensory patterns. In this level of consciousness, sense data can be

confirmed by an observer without necessarily implying understanding. In general,

an opinion is a subjective belief, and is the result of emotion or interpretation of facts.

An opinion may be supported by an argument, although people may draw opposing

opinions from the same set of facts. For assessing the awareness and opinion about

the project activity socio-economic survey was conducted in the sampling villages.

The salient observations drawn through survey are described below:

Very few respondents were aware about the project activity.

Some of the respondents have very good opinion about the project and they opined

that due to proposed project activity, quality of life of the villages / urban areas will

improve.

Respondents asked to give employment to local people

Villagers asked better infrastructure facility

CHAPTER – IV

ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

AND MITIGATION MEASURES

4.1 INTRODUCTION

Any human activity in any environment produces impact, modifying it to a

status which is considered adverse or beneficial according to the damage

or improvement it brings about in physical, chemical and biological status

of air, water, land including biota and in socio-cultural life styles and

economy of the populace it affects. Depending on the nature of activities

and existing status, the impacts are assessed for their importance. On the

basis of the impact analysis, the mitigating action and future monitoring

requirement are focused in the Environmental Management Plan for

counting or minimizing adverse impacts.

Effects of this mining project on each of the environmental parameters are

detailed below in accordance with the parameter of environment likely to be

affected.

- Climate

- Air environment

- Land environment

- Ecology

- Water environment

- Noise levels

- Soil

- Socio-economic environment

- Cultural and Heritage environment



249

Generally, the environmental impacts can be categorized as either primary or

secondary. Primary impacts are those which can be attributed directly to the

project. On the indirect or induced and typically include the associated

investments and change patterns of social and economic by the proposed actions.

4.2 TOPOGRAPHY & DRAINAGE

4.2.1 Topography

Topography of the surrounding area will remain unchanged. No change in

topography of applied mining lease area, beacause due to removal of sand,

temporary pits will be generated and it will be replenished during the monsoon.

4.2.2 Drainage

Drainage pattern of the area is dendritic. The applied lease area is part of

Beghna and Markanda river. The drainage pattern of the lease area is from NW

to SE. Systematic mining i.e. removal of sand will be done as per approved

mining plan. So there will be no impact on the drainage pattern.

Mitigation Measures

The mine working will be confined to river bed only and in no case disturbing

any surface area outside which may affect topography or drainage.

Proposed Mining blocks for removal of sand will change the topography of river

bed on temporary basis, which will be temporary and in monsoon itself will be

restored to original position.

Mining will be done in a planned way i.e. removal and collection of

minerals/working shall be started from the center part and then laterally in 3

meter thickness, so that the river course will not get affected.

Unwanted material including mineral or spillage (if any) will not be stacked on

the bank side as it will hinder the flow of water in monsoon season.

The removal and collection of sand from river bed will not have any impact on

natural drainage of surrounding area as the removed Bajri from river bed is

filled with flow in river during monsoon season.



250

4.4 IMPACTS ON CLIMATE

4.4.1 Temperature

The temperature pattern is a regional behavior and is not likely to be

affected by the river bed mining activity over a small area. Some local effect

may be perceived due to mining, afforestation and creation of voids in the

applied lease area.

4.4.2 Rainfall

The trend of rainfall, as studied and discussed in last chapter, forms part

of a regional pattern, not dependent on the relatively small area of river bed

mining activity. The mining operation, therefore, is not likely to have any

adverse impact on rainfall pattern.

4.4.3 Wind Speed

The wind speed in any area is dependent upon local topography and

generation of elevation and depression of pressure changes in the region.

The controlling factors for the pressure changes lie much beyond the

control of small area under mining operations. Thus, no adverse impact on

the regional wind speed is anticipated due to the mining operations.

However, some local ground level changes may take place due to the

buildings, green belt developed around the mine, etc.

4.4.4 Humidity

The pattern of relative humidity depends mainly on the rainfall, wind,

temperature and other weather phenomenon that regional in behavior. The

mining operation is not likely to have any impact on the relative humidity in the

surrounding.

4.5 IMPACT ON AIR ENVIRONMENT

4.5.1 Impact through Mathematical Modeling for Sand Mining Project

As explained in the previous chapter, the ambient air quality monitoring

results show that all the parameters such as PM10, SO2, and NOx are within

the limits prescribed by CPCB for “Industrial and Mixed use” areas as well as

areas meant for “Residential and Rural” areas.



251

The major contribution of air pollution is by river bed mining, such as

excavation, loading, transportation, and handling of Bajri. This will lead to

momentary rise in the particulate matter (PM10). The dust liberated in mining

and other related operations is injurious to heath if inhaled in sufficient

quantity.

4.5.2 Air Quality Modeling

The impact of the expansion on the air quality has been predicated using

Fugitive Dust Model (FDM) ,which is a computerized air quality model

specifically designed for computing concentration and deposition impacts

from fugitive dust sources. The sources may be point, line or area sources. The

model has not been designed to compute the impacts of buoyant point sources,

thus it contains no plume rise algorithm. The model is generally based on the

well-known Gaussian Plume formulation for computing concentrations, but

the model has been specifically adapted to incorporate an improved

gradient transfer deposition algorithm. Emissions for each source are

apportioned by the user into a series of particle size classes. A

gravitational setting velocity and a deposition velocity are calculated by

FDM for each class.

4.5.3 Pollutants / Model Options Considered for Computations

The model simulations deal with major Pollution Particulate Matter (PM10) and

gaseous emissions viz. SO2 & NO2.

4.5.4 Meteorological Data

Data recorded by continuous weather monitoring station on wind speed,

direction, and temperature at one hour interval for the monitoring period was

used as meteorological input.



252

Mitigation measures

To control the emissions regular preventive maintenance of transportation

vehicle will be carried out on contractual basis.

Proper mitigation measures like water sprinkling will be adopted to control

dust emissions.

Plantation will be carried out on approach roads & nearby vicinity of river

bank.

It is being ensured that all transportation vehicles will carry a valid PUC

certificate.

There is no toxic element present in the mineral which may contaminate the

soil.

(a) During Drilling & Blasting

No drilling & blasting is involved in this project.

(b) During Transport Operations

All the haul roads will be kept leveled, wide and compacted.

Regular water spraying will be done on haul roads in the applied mining area.

In order to reduce dust pollution, green belt will be developed.

4.6 IMPACT ON NOISE LEVEL

The exposures to excessive noise levels can lead to:

Prevention of sleep, insomnia and fatigue.

Decrease in speech reception, communication, distraction and diminished

concentration thus adversely affecting job performance efficiency.

Chronic psychological disturbance including impaired hearing.

Irreparable cardiovascular, respiratory and neuralgic damages in certain

extreme cases.



253

The area is general represents calm surroundings. There is no heavy traffic,

industries or noisy habitation in the applied area. With the increase in scale of

mining operations, vehicles operation and men, noise levels are expected to be

increased.

Mitigation Measures

Periodical monitoring of noise will be done.

No other equipment’s except the transportation vehicles (truck trolley) will be

allowed.

Noise generated by the transportation vehicles shall be intermittent and does

not cause much adverse impact.

Proper maintenance of transportation vehicles will be carried out which help in

reducing noise during operations.

Plantation will be taken up along the approach roads and vicinity of river

bank. The plantation minimizes propagation of noise and also arrests dust.

4.7 IMPACT ON HYDROLOGICAL CONDITIONS

The applied lease area itself being part of River Beghna and Markanda. The

flow of surface/ground water (sub surface flow) is following the trend of

topography, which is in the NW to SE.

The proposed working area remains dry for more than nine months in a year

except for the rainy season. The mining of Bajri will be done up to a depth of

3mt, which will have insignificant impact on water regime.

The ground water table in the applied area is about 13.39-13.61mbgl meters

below the surface of river bed. It will not be disturbed as ultimate working depth

will be 3.0 m from the surface level. Thus the mine operation will not affect the

hydrological conditions of the area. Every year during the monsoon season, the

rain water would replenish the removed material, thus it will be positive impact

on the ground water scenario in the subsequent mining period.



254

4.8 IMPACT ON WATER QUALITY

The proposed project is for removal of bajari from the river bed up to a depth of

3 mtrs only, which will not have any impact on the water quality.

Mitigation Measures

Removal of sand in the area will be done well above the water table as well as

river bed water level therefore; no impact on water regime is anticipated. The

river bed level while the workings in the area are proposed up to a max. depth of

3m. So that water level is not touched.

No waste water will be generated from the proposed activity, as the project only

involves removal/collection of Bajri from river bed.

4.9 IMPACT ON FLORA (Core & Buffer Zone)

4.9.1 Impacts

As the mining activities will be confined to core zone only, no adverse

impact is foreseen on the flora of buffer zone.

The proposed project involves removal/collection of sand from river bed,

construction of approach road & office which will not have any impact on the

flora of core zone.

4.9.2 Mitigation Measures

Working will be done in such a way that it will not affect the flora.

Plantation will be carried out on approach roads and nearby vicinity at river

banks areas will, over a period of time, to upgrade the flora.

4.10 IMPACT ON FAUNA (Core & Buffer Zone)

4.10.1 Impact

No impact on the fauna is anticipated as removal/collection of sand will be done

in the dry part of the proposed blocks of applied area. No endangered species

found in the applied lease area.

4.10.2 Mitigation Measures

The impact on the fauna due to the removal/ collection of sand will be negligible.

Working will be confined to core zone only by manual means and fauna in the



255

core zone is minimal. Even so, by restricting mining at any time to small

areas, impact on fauna will be kept to the minimum. However, progressive

plantation activity being undertaken will over a period of time create

conditions favorable for fauna.

4.11 IMPACT ON LAND ENVIRONMENT

4.11.1 Land Use in Buffer Zone

No adverse impact is anticipated on land use of buffer zone due to the

proposed mining operations, as all the related activities are confined to

the core zone.

4.11.2 Impact on land use pattern including change of river course

If the mining is not carried out in a systematic manner by leaving sufficient

safety barriers from bank then it may disturb the river flow/course.

Stacking of unwanted material including mineral or spillage (if any) on the

bank side of the river will hinder the flow of water in monsoon season, raise

water level upstream, which may lead to bank cutting or flouting.

Deviation from planned mining procedures can lead to river channel shifting

as well as degradation of surrounding land, causing loss of properties and

degradation of landscape.

Removal/collection of sand within a river bed may have some impact on the

stream’s physical characteristics, such as channel geometry, bed elevation in

stream roughness of the bed, flow velocity, discharge capacity, sediment

transportation capacity etc.

Alteration or modification of the above attributes may cause noticeable

hazardous impact on ecological equilibrium of riverine regime.

Mitigation Measures

Removal/collection of sand will be done from central part of river bed and

sufficient safety barrier say 10% of width will be left towards bank side. So that

the river flow/course will not get disturbed.



256

Removal/collection of sand will be started from dip side towards rise at the

center and also laterally in 3 meter slice so that the river course will not get

affected. Unwanted material or spillage (if any) will not be stacked by the side of

the excavation voids created. This is to be done so, because it will otherwise

hinder the flow of water in monsoon season.

Removal/collection of sand will be done by leaving safety barrier on both sides

and maximum barrier should be on concave side of river preferably the flow

channel (excavation void created) should be kept straight so as to help avoid

erosion as side cutting.

4.11.3 Land Degradation Control Measures

The present land use, land use after 5 years working land use of the applied

leasehold area is given in below table.

257

4.12 IMPACT ON SOIL

No soil cover exists in the core zone so there will be impact.

No impact on soil of the buffer zone is envisaged due to Removal/collection of

sand, as fugitive emission shall remain confined within working area/haul road

and emission will be controlled by water sprinkling and plantation.

4.13 IMPACT ON SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

4.13.1 Human Settlement

The villages and their inhabitants in the buffer zone will not be disturbed

from their settlements due to the proposed project

There is no inhabitation within the applied lease area. Therefore neither

villages nor any part of village or any hamlet will be disturbed during the

operational phase. So no adverse impact is anticipated on human settlement.

4.13.2 Employment

The proposed project will provide employment to the 199 persons. The various

indirect employment opportunities have also been generated. Several persons

of the neighboring villages have been benefited with loading/uploading,

contract works, employment through contractors, running of jeeps, trucks,

tractors and buses on hire, different kind of shops and transport related

business avenues.

4.13.3 Economic Status

Due to proposed project direct and in-direct employment, business opportunities

and other earing resources will be generated, which will improve the economic

status of the local people. Other then this welfare amenities such as medical

facilities, conveyance, free education, drinking water supply etc. will be provided

to the workers.



258

4.13.4 Sensitive Targets

There are no places of Tourist, religious & Historical importance in core zone.

Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.

4.13.6 Impact on Occupational Health & Safety

The possible impact on occupational health & safety in the proposed project may

be Inhalation of dust, Accident due to transportation vehicles, bed mining

practices etc.

4.13.7 Measures to Control Occupational Health Hazard & Safety

The letter of Intent has been granted by State Govt.

The proposed mining lease area has following advantages:-

_ The applied mining area occurs in a non-forest area.

_ The required material is found in the sound quality/quantity in the applied

area.

_ There is no habitation within the applied lease area; hence no R & R issues

exist.

_ The river bed (proposed mining blocks of applied mining lease area) remains

dry excepts the monsoon season.

_ Availability of skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled workers in this region.

_ All the basic amenities such as medical, firefighting, education,

transportation, Communication and infrastructural facilities are accessible.



261

_ Applied area has good connectivity through road and rail. The nearest

highway is NH-72 is approx. 13 km in NW direction and NH-73 is about 3.5 km

in West direction

_ The proposed mining operations will be restricted up to a depth of 3 mtr which

will not intersect the ground water level. Hence, no impact on ground water

environment.

5.3. ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVE SITE

No alternatives are suggested as the proposed project is site specific as per the

occurrence of material.

5.4. FACTOR BEHIND SELECTION OF PROPOSED TECHNOLOGY

Open cast manual mining operation method will be used for the removal of sand

from the proposed blocks. The proposed method is suitable for the area as:-

As the material deposition is superficial and not deeply embedded, therefore

opencast method of working is preferred.

There is lesser chance of subsidence in case of opencast mining.

As there is no soil cover/OB in the area.

The material will be loaded manually in the tractor trolley & will be sold

directly to the buyers.

5.5. ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGY

Open cast manual method has been selected for this project. This technology is

having least gestation period, economically viable, safest and less labour

intensive. The method has inbuilt flexibility for increasing or decreasing the

production as per market condition.

7.3 RISK ASSESSMENT AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

All types of industries face certain types of hazards which can disrupt normal

activities abruptly, similarly River Bed Mining also has impending dangers or

risk which need be addressed for which a disaster management plan has been

formulated with an aim of taking precautionary steps to avert disasters and also

to take such action after the disaster which limits the damage to the minimum.

Nevertheless, the following natural problems may be encountered during the

mining operation.

1. Increase in gradient of the river – One of the most frequently occurring

hazards of the river bed mining is the increase of river gradient due to

haphazard mining practices. Due to selective mining in vast patches of the bed,

the amount of suspended load, turbidity and velocity of the water may increase

which may affect the overall behavior of the stream.

2. Dumping of waste material – the waste left from the river bed mining consists

of unusable aggregates and mainly clay. The clay is generally dumped back in

the mined out areas. Subsequently the clay gets mixed with stream water to

results in increased turbidity and siltation downstream.

3. Water pollution – The left over aggregates are fine grained particles that are

lifted easily by increase of stream water velocity. Retention times of these

particles are long and quality of water is affected consequently.

As per proposal made under the mining plan, during proposed working the area

will be developed by means of semi-mechanized opencast mining method.

Exploitation and transportation of minerals are to be carried out by excavator

means. Water table will not be touched during processed working. No high risk

accidents like landslides, subsidence flood etc. have been apprehended.

But possibility of accidental disaster is also not ruled out. Therefore, all the

statutory precautions should be taken for quick evacuation as per the Mines Act

1952, the Mines Rules 1955, MMR-1961 and MCDR-1988.

The possible risks in the case of river bed mining project are bank erosion,

floods, accidents due to transportation etc.



272

Mining and allied activities are associated with several potential hazards to

both the employees and the public at large. A worker in a mine should be able to

work under condition, which are adequately safe and healthy. At the same time

the environmental condition should be such as not to impair his working

efficiency. This is possible only when there is adequate safety in mines. Hence,

safety is one of the most essential aspects of any working mine. safety of the

mine and the employees will be taken care according to the mining rules &

regulations, which are well defined with laid down procedure for safety, which

when scrupulously followed safety is ensured not only to manpower but also to

working environment.

7.3.1 Possible Risks Due To Inundation & Its Control

Mining will be done during the non-monsoon periods; therefore problem of

inundation is not likely to happen.

7.3.2 Dewatering

Depth of mine is limited to 3m depth only from the river bed level whereas the

ground water level varies from 13.39-13.61 mbgl.

Hence no dewatering is required.

7.3.3 Possible Risks Due To Failure of Pit Slope & Its Control

Pit will be created of limited depth only i.e. 3m thus the chance of failure of pit

slope does not exist.

7.3.4 Possible Risks Due To Failure of Waste Dump & Its Control

No waste dump is created therefore the question of failure of waste dump does

not exist.

7.3.5 Possible Risks Due To Fire & Its Control

The operation does not anticipate any fire disaster.



273

7.3.6 Measures to Prevent Accidents Due to Tractors

All transportation within applied mining lease working should be carried out

directly under the supervision and control of the management.

The vehicles will be maintained in good condition and checked thoroughly at

least once a month by the competent person authorized for the purpose by the

management.

Road signs will be provided at each and every turning point up to the main

road (wherever required).

To avoid danger while reversing the equipment’s/ vehicles especially at the

working place / loading points, stopper should be posted to properly guide

reversing/ spotting operating, otherwise no person should be there within 10 km

radius of machine.

A statutory provision of the fences, constant education, training etc. will go a

long way in reducing the incidents of such accidents.

7.2.6 Other Possible Measures to Avoid Risks/ Disaster Due to River Bed

Mining.

Unwanted material including mineral or spillage (if any) should not be stacked

on the banks as it will hinder the flow of water in monsoon season.

Mining of minerals / working shall be started from the center from dip to rise

and then laterally in 1 Meter slice so that the river course could not get affected.

Removal/collection of sand in a uniform way so that the river flow/ course shall

not get disturbed.

River banks will not be excavated to from access ramps.

Only excavated river gravel should be used to deposit against the river bank to

form access ramps.



274

Maintenance and monitoring:

The area will be monitored every week by competent person and if maintenance

is needed will be done as per requirement.

7.4 SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT, R&R ACTION PLAN

There will be the positive impact on the villagers of the nearby villages in the

form of employment, business promotion and social welfare. There is no human

settlement in the applied lease area. Thus there is no impact on the human

settlement and thus no R & R plan is required.

279

CHAPTER-IX

ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

9.1 INTRODUCTION

The environmental impact assessment presented in previous chapter is based on

the control measures. It is concluded that the mining activities having

substantial, but reversible impact on environment and the suggestive measures

should be taken so as to minimize the impacts.

Environmental management plan details the environmental quality control

measures which are proposed for this project to achieve the production of

75,00,000 TPA of ordinary sand (Bajri) by complying with the stipulated

standard limit specified by state pollution control board and CPCB.

Environment Management Plan, which is to be implemented in the project has

detailed under the following heads:

River course environment

Air Environment

Water Environment

Noise Environment

Solid waste Management

Biological Environment including Plantation Development

Implementation of EMP and monitoring Programme

9.2 RIVER COURSE ENVIRONMENT

Land degradation is one of the major adverse impact of opencast mining

activities related to mining and any effort to control adverse impacts would

be incomplete without appropriate land reclamation strategy.



280

Deviation from planned mining procedure can lead to bank erosion/cutting and

thereby river channel shifting degradation of land, causing loss of properties

and degradation surrounding of landscape. Thus for environment friendly river

bed mining the following control/abatement measures will be followed:

Removal/collection of Sand (Bajri) will be done in central part of river and

sufficient safety barrier say 10% of width will be left towards bank side. So that

the river flow / course will not get disturbed.

Removal/collection of sand will be started from dip side towards rise at the

center and also laterally in 3 meter slice so that the river course will not get

affected. Unwanted material including mineral or spillage (if any) will not be

stacked by the side of the excavation area. If need be done then it should be

dozed afterwards in excavation voids created. This is to be done so, because it

will otherwise hinder the flow of water in monsoon season.

Leaving safety barrier on both sides and maximum barrier should be on

concave side of river preferably the flow channel (excavation void created)

should be kept straight so as to help avoid erosion as side cutting.

In the first five years, removal/collection will be done, which will be

replenishment with monsoon season.

9.3 AIR ENVIRONMENT

In order to minimize impacts of mining on air and to maintain it within the

prescribed limits of CPCB/SPCB, an Environment Management Plan (EMP) has

been prepared. This will help in resolving all environmental and ecological

issues likely to cause due to removal of sand in the area.

During the course of mining no toxic substances are released into the

atmosphere as such there seems to be no potential threat to health of human

beings.



281

In river bed mining activities, the only source of gaseous emission is from the

tractor trolley. The reasons may be quality of fuel, improper operation of the

engine, etc. proper maintenance of engines will improve combustion process and

brings reduction in pollution. The fugitive dust generation during mining and

transportation requires some mitigation.

Measures to Prevent Generation & Dispersal of Dust

Dust particles that are normally generated during mining operations when

become airborne lead to increase in PM10 level in the ambient air. Another

source of dust generation is the transport of material by tractor trolley. Dust

suppression by water spraying is adopted on the roads. Maintenance of

transported vehicles and maintenance of kutchha road on regular basis. Regular

water spraying on haulage roads during transportation of sand and waste by

water sprinklers.

Plantation will be carried out on approach roads & nearby vicinity of river

bank.

To control the emissions regular preventive maintenances of equipment’s will

be done to adopt corrective actions wherever needed.

It is being ensured that all transportation vehicles will carry a valid PUC

certificate.

Dust mask will be provided to the workers.

9.4 NOISE ENVIRONMENT

The noise level monitoring carried out in the area has indicated that the

present noise levels in mine site are generally within limits. The

deployments of vehicles for transport and other auxiliary operations have

increased the noise level but are naturally attenuated within applied lease area

itself.



282

9.4.1 Noise Abatement and Control

Proper maintenance of transportation vehicles will be carried out, which help

in reducing generation of noise during operations.

No other equipment’s accept the transportation vehicles as tractor trolley is

allowed.

Noise generated by these transportation vehicles is intermittent and does not

cause much adverse impact.

Periodical monitoring of noise will be done to adopt corrective actions wherever

needed.

Plantation will be taken up along the approach roads and on river bank. The

plantation minimizes propagation of noise and also arrests dust.

General precaution for blasting will be taken up as following:-

No drilling and blasting involved in this project.

9.5 WATER MANAGEMENT

Removal/collection of sand in the area will be done well above the water table;

therefore impact on water regime is not anticipated. The ground water level of

lease area is 13.39-13.61mbgl from the surface level. The removal/collection of

sand from river bed does not have any impact on natural drainage of

surrounding area as no mining will be carried out, outside the lease area.

Removal/collection of sand will be done up to a depth of 3m in the river bed,

which will be replenished during monsoon season, more or less restoring to

original position thus not affecting normal drainage in the river channel also.

9.5.2 Waste Water Management

No waste water is generated due to proposed working as project only involves

removal/ collection of sand from river bed in dry state.



283

9.6 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

No solid waste is generated from the said mining operations.

There is no toxic element present in the mineral which may contaminate the

soil.

9.7 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT

The mining activity will have insignificant effect on the existing flora and fauna

in the core/buffer zone. Flora & fauna found in the buffer zone will not get

affected because mining activities will be confined to core zone only by manual

means.

The purpose of the project itself is to save the flora around the project area from

river widening, excessive erosion and floods. It was found that the removal/

collection of sand will not have any significant impact on the flora and fauna of

the region. The aquatic flora & fauna is also not likely to be affected as proposed

mining blocks remains dry except the rainy season.

There is a requirement to establish a stable ecosystem with both ecological and

economic returns. Minimization of soil erosion and dust pollution enhances the

beauty of the core and the buffer zone. To achieve this it is planned to increase

plantation activities. The basic objectives of

Plantations are as follows:-

• Improvement of Soil quality

• Quick vegetative cover to check soil erosion

• Improvement in river bank stability

• Conservation of biological diversity

• Provide forage and browse for wild life



284

9.7.2 Plantation Development

The main aim of plantation of mine area is to control dust/noise in the area,

and to protect land from erosion and provide an aesthetic landscape.

Keeping the up to the plan period in mine the stage wise plantation will

be done.

Total 30 hectare are will be covered by the plantation. It will arrest

environmental pollution, erosion and upgrade the scenic beauty of the area.

Planting and sowing operations are followed up with adequate post

plantation care, which includes replacement of casualties.

Protection of Plantation Sites

The afforested areas have to be protected from cattle menace, human

interference, soil erosion, plant diseases, etc. Check bunds, masonry chutes,

protected drains, etc. will be constructed wherever required to control and

regulate the water flow to prevent soil erosion and washing away of

nutrients. Plants will be protected from diseases by the application of

proper pesticides. Soil manuring etc. will be done whenever necessary. Plants

will be protected from cattle menace and human interference by providing

fencing and proper watch and ward.



285

9.7.3 Guidelines for Plantation Development

In order to facilitate the proper growth of vegetation, limited measures involving

preparation of seedbed with suitable amount of fertilizers and treatment with

mulches will be taken.

Vegetation cover generally helps in:

Stabilizing erodible slopes to minimize pollution.

Control of dust.

Enhancement of aesthetic value.

Maximizing evpo-transpiration, which helps minimizing run off.

Reducing noise.

For revagetation, the plants and saplings suitable for the existing soils and site

condition may consider. It is recommended to plant fast growing local plant

species, which can adapt to the local climate.

This has to be done in consultation with local Government Horticulturist.

9.8 SOCIO – ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

9.8.1 Management Plan for Socio-Economic Environment

The environmental management plan has been developed with a view to

bring down the levels of impacts as discussed in the last chapter within

limits. In each of the areas of impact, measures have to be taken to reduce

potentially significant adverse impacts and where these are beneficial in

nature, such impacts are to be enhanced/augmented so that the overall

adverse impacts are reduced to as low level as possible.

For the socio economic development about 45 lacs will be spent up to operational

phase.



286

There will be over all positive effect on social life on the local people, as they will

get job opportunity, transport and medical facilities so the mining activities will

benefit them directly or indirectly.

1. Ordinary sand production and employment opportunities.

2. Reduction in the migration of jobless laborers from native place to other

distant places.

3. Interaction of local people with outsides, and improvement in

communication, which will enhance their present status of knowledge and

confidence.

Employment

The mining operations will employ about total 199 persons. Preference will be

given to the local population while inducting any manpower. The future

mining activity would provide indirect employment to a large number of

9.10 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT CELL

Apart from having an EMP, it is also necessary to have a permanent

organizational set up charged with the task of ensuring its effective

implementation.

The applicant will undertake to monitor the environmental pollution levels

by measuring ambient air quality, water and effluent quality, noise levels

etc., by appointing external agencies. The applicant will ensure that the

pollution is limited to allowable values and to take corrective action if

required.

In case the monitored results of environmental pollution are found to

exceed the allowable values, the Environmental Management Cell will

suggest remedial action and get these suggestions implemented through

the concerned departments.

The Environmental Management Cell will also co-ordinate all the related

activities such as collection of statistics of health of workers and population

of the region, afforestation and green belt development.

10.7 RECOMMENDATION

M/s Udaipur Min –Tech Pvt. Ltd. survey reveals that the management will

stress on improvement of Environment. Regular water spraying will be

practiced. The management will provide ear muffs, shoes, trained the person for

their use and helmets to the workers in the mine.

The regular medical check-up of workers will be carried out. Green belt

development is to be stressed and workers must be motivated for plantation

care. The general environmental awareness is given to the local workers.

Regular maintenance of vehicles will be carried out. Slogans of Environment,

health & safety will be displayed in the local language.

The verbal interactions with neighboring villagers reveals that due to river

bed mining no impact on water level is antibuted. Hence significantly no impact

will be there due to mining activity. However, the mine is fresh area and no

significant problems are reported by the villagers. The management must

keenly celebrate the importance of World Environment Day to create

awareness amongst the workers. Conservation of soil and water must be

emphasized not only at works but also at their own place. With the

proposal of Environment management plan and intention of continual

improvement the mine may be accorded environmental clearance.
