2. NEED / JUSTIFICATION FOR THE PROJECT The consumers of MCL are linked to the company and not to any specific

coalfield ( i.e Talcher & Ib valley). The actual supply from any coalfield of MCL will

depend upon the production and transport logistics. Under the above circumstances

coalfield wise demand has been assessed based on the production share of these

two coalfield which is as below:

Projected coal demand on MCL from Ib-valley coalfield

(Fig. in Mt) Sl. No

Particulars 2021-22 2026-27

1 Total Demand on MCL 244.83 274.134 2 Projected coal demand on Ib-valley

coalfield 97.93 120.56

3 Coal Availability 73.82 85.32 Gap (-)24.11 (-)35.24

It is proposed that the coal produced from the proposed project will be linked

to Thermal Power Stations for power generation, both within the state and outside the

state.

The proposed PR of Lakhanpur OCP (21 Mty) will be linked to the existing

consumers. In addition a basket of new consumers may be linked to the project who

have been issued LOA (Letter of Assurances) by MCL under NCDP-2007

As per above table, the projected gap between demand and availability is

projected to be 35.24 Mt from Ib-valley coalfield. Further new coal linkages have

been given to MCL for which MCL has already issued LOA. The proposed Lakhanpur

(21 Mty) project will meet the coal demand from the coalfield, especially to the new

consumers and reduce the gap between demand and availability.

3. LOCATION AND COMMUNICATION (PLATE IA & IB) Lakhanpur opencast expansion (Phase-II) project (21.0 Mty) Revision -1 is

proposed in Belpahar-III geological block of Rampur tract of Ib-valley coalfield, falling

in the south of Lilari nallah.

The block area falls between latitudes 21o42'15" N to 21o47'10"N and

longitudes 83o48'11"E to 83o52'38"E and is included in Survey of India topo sheet

CMPDI


no.64/O/13 of 1:50,000 RF. It is situated to the south of Howrah-Mumbai Railway

line, between Belpahar and Brajrajnagar railway stations. The nearest railway station

is Belpahar at a distance of about 8 kms.

The project is connected by road to Brajrajnagar & Jharsuguda in Orissa and

Raigarh in Chhatisgarh. Jharsuguda is connected to Sambalpur by SH-10 and NH-6

& NH-42.

4. TOPOGRAPHY, DRAINAGE AND CLIMATE • The topography of the block is plain to moderately undulating.

• The area is gently sloping towards east.

• The highest and lowest elevations of the area are 250 m and 198 m above

mean sea level respectively.

• The drainage is controlled by Lilari nullah which discharges into Hirakud

reservoir. One tributary (seasonal) of Lilari nullah namely, Pulijhore flows

from west to east within the mine area with its catchment area to the west

of the block.

5. MINE BOUNDARY

Quarry-1 This is the northern quarry. Lilari nala separates it from the workings of Lilari Opencast project. Southern boundary is fixed such that the immediate diversion of Pulijhar nala does not become necessary. North : Floor boundary is fixed after considering the present surface boundary and leaving a surface barrier of approximately 60m against Lilari nullah. East : 1 m thick coal line in the incrop of Lajkura seam. South : Floor boundary is fixed considering existing embankment against the Pulijhore nullah. West : Floor boundary is almost fixed along block boundary.

Quarry-2

Quarry-2 forms the central part of the selected quarry area and is adjacent to

quarry-1. Pulijore nala which flows on the northern side of the quarry will have

to be diverted before starting of this quarry.

CMPDI


North : Shares the southern boundary of Quarry-1. East : 1m thick coal line in the incrop of Lajkura seam South : An arbitrary line midway between final southern boundary & northern boundary of Quarry-2. West : 70m / 80m floor contour.

Quarry-3

This is the last quarry in sequence and coal production starts from the 17th

year and continues upto the 25th year i.e. the terminal year of the project.

North : Shares the southern boundary of Quarry-2 East : 1m thick coal line in the incrop of Lajkura seam. South : Approximate 6-7 m Iso-thickness line of dirt bands. West : 90m floor contour. However due to land constraints, non-availability of forest land and difficulty in

diversion of Phulijhor nala existing sequence of working has been modified.

Quarry-1 has been extended towards south upto temporary diversion route of

Phuljhor nala, part of quarry-2 as per 15 Mty PR, has also been opened

towards south of Phulijhor nala and it’s southern limit is restricted upto a road

connecting village Khaliapali. In future quarry-2 &3 will be advanced as a

single quarry and quarry-1 will be connected to quarry-2 after diversion of

Phulijhor nala.

Mining has been proposed in two phases in present mining plan of 21 Mty, in

Phase-I mining has been restricted to the approved lease area as per

approved EMP of 18.75 Mty ( excluding area of non diverted forest)(shown in

Min-I), in phase-II mining will be taken up in remaining area after getting forest

clearance ).

6. GEOLOGY

STATUS OF EXPLORATION

Detailed exploration of the block projected for mine planning has been carried

out by CMPDI (CMIB series boreholes) & GSI (IBR series boreholes) through 111

boreholes involving 13963.97m of drilling out of which 4 boreholes have been drilled

by Geological Survey of India. The area for geological exploration is 14.44 sq. Km.

and bore hole density is 7.69 boreholes /sq. Km.

GEOLOGICAL STRUCTURE The beds strike in a NE-SW direction in the northern part, assume a N-S

trend in the central part and SSE-NNW in the southern part. The overall configuration

is thus of a broad antiform. The dip of the strata varies from NW in northern part, due

west in the central part and WSW in southern part. The dip ranges from 4o to 6o. The

block has been traversed by 8 normal faults ranging in throw from 2m to 70m.

However, within the mining block 2 nos. of faults (F3F3 & F11F11) have been

deciphered and ranging in throw from 2m to 5m.

COAL SEAMS

All the three main coal seams of the Ib-River coalfield viz. Ib, Rampur and

Lajkura seams have been encountered within the block besides Parkhani and

Belpahar seams which occur in the downdipside. Only Lajkura seam has been

described in details as only Lajkura seam has been considered for mine planning.

The proposed mining block represents presence of moderately flat single

coal seam with intermediate varying parting. Thick seams occur at shallow depth in

wide area having power grade coal reserve. So this will make the project most viable

by adopting opencast mining method.

Geo-mining characteristics of different quarry sections are given in table.

Reserve has been assessed considering general practice of 10% geological loss and

around 5% mining loss. Around 45 to 46 Mt additional reserve can be extracted in

absence of these losses.

The seam gradient varies from 3.7o to 5o and thickness, including all bands, ranges

from 21.84m to 31.11m in the full thickness area. Though the seam gradient is

favourable for application of dragline in overburden it has not been considered in the

approved report for the following reasons:

i) The coal seam is thick and has to be worked in a number of benches.

ii) The presence of separable bands in the seam makes the system rigid

and complicated. Further, if the bands are not separated and bulk

mining is adopted, there will be deterioration in the coal quality.

iii) Initial lead-time for procurement of dragline is more and it will also be

under utilised during the initial years due to shallow cover.

Therefore, it is envisaged to adopt shovel-dumper combination as per the existing

practice in overburden. Considering the high annual production capacity of 21.0Mt

and corresponding yearly overburden removal, higher capacity of shovel and

dumpers are suggested for overburden removal.

SEWAGE SYSTEM Sewage treatment plant exist in Lakhanpur Colony.

11. COAL WINNING, OB REMOVAL AND TRANSPORTATION Shovel-dumper system of mining for overburden removal has been already

adopted for running mine. This system is very flexible and also offers convenient

mining operations to deal with sudden occurrences of unworkable or poor quality

patches and change of floor position due to repeated faulting and varying seam

gradient and thickness. It also offers flexibility for easy transition to any other

CMPDI


technology or equipment configuration. The technology is well known and

advantageous to get skilled manpower. So shovel-dumper mining method has been

adopted for overburden removal and the same has been suggested for remaining life

of the mine. Considering the annual target of 21.0Mt and corresponding yearly

overburden removal, higher capacity of shovel and dumpers are suggested for

overburden removal.

The top soil of 30cm will be excavated and stacked separately or utilized directly for

covering the backfill. At present 5.0 cum electric rope shovels, 5.1cum hydraulic

shovels and 3.7/2.7 hydraulic shovels or backhoes are deployed for overburden

removal. As per earlier approved mining plan, considering large quantity of

overburden to be removed (about 40-50Mcum/year) it was proposed to deploy 8.5-10

cum hydraulic shovels/ backhoe for top overburden removal. 3.7cum/2.7cum

hydraulic shovels and backhoes would be generally deployed for removal of bands.

However in recent years, 2 working patches in quarry-1 and one patch in quarry-2

overburden is being excavated & transported through outsourcing means. Increase in

production will be done through deployment of more departmental HEMM or

increasing load of outsourcing agencies.

In the present mine coal is being extracted either by using surface miner through

outsourcing agencies or by departmental surface miner. Any additional coal

production will be done by using surface miner through outsourcing agencies or by

departmental means.

Surface miners will be working in windrowing method, In windrowing mode the cut

material is directly discharged behind the machine without using a conveyor.

Therefore the cutting operation is independent from the truck loading operation, but

the coal has to be rehandled by the front end loader which in turn loads the coal into

the dump truck. For many reasons, the higher productivity in windrowing method

compensates the rehandling cost. In addition, no belt wear and operating cost for

conveyor will arise when working with windrowing mode of operation.

CMPDI


While working the barrier between quarry-1 & quarry-2, it will be necessary to

rehandle some overburden already backfilled along common boundaries. HEMM

deployed for overburden removal will also rehandle this overburden.

12. MANPOWER No additional manpower is required for this project.

13. POWER SUPPLY The power supply to the project will come from Jurabaga Sub-station of MCL

through 33 kV double circuit overhead line.

14. COAL HANDLING & DESPATCH ARRANGEMENT At present, the coal produced from the mine is dispatched to OPGC and to Y-

curved siding for basket linkage for further dispatch though Howrah-Mumbai main

line.

A Coal handling plant for Lakhanpur open cast project was constructed and

commissioned. The CHP consisted of crushing complex (Feeder breakers), conveyor

and truck loading hopper for dispatch to Y-curve siding. Subsequent to introduction of

Blast Free coal production, the Feeder Breakers and other accessories have been

shifted to other mines for their better utilisation. Out of total production approximately

3.50 Mty of coal is dispatched through MGR for OPGC. Part of remaining coal

(around 7.0 Mty for year 2016-17) is being transported through Y-curve siding which

is located at a distance of 14-15 km, remaining part of coal production is also being

transported through Lakhanpur siding no-7 and Belpahar siding no 3 & 6 near

eastern side of Belpahar OCP. Coal transportation from pit top/stock to the siding is

being done through outsourcing transport arrangement.

Around 10 Mty coal from pit bottom will be transported up to pit top by

departmental/ out sourcing dumpers. From pit top through reclaim feeder the coal will

be transported by conveyor to washery, then washed coal will be transported by

conveyor to SILO for further rail transport. For the above proposal tendering is in

advance stage.

CMPDI


15. WORKSHOP AND STORE Two-tier system of maintenance had been envisaged in the existing project

(21.0 Mty) for the plant and machinery one as the unit workshop located at the quarry

mouth to cater to the needs of day-to-day maintenance work and the other at Central

Workshop for major overhauls and capital repairs. The unit workshop for HEMM and

E&M equipment (like CHP, pumps, electrical, etc.) were envisaged to be separate.

The workshop facilities created already as per the approved PR are meeting the

present maintenance requirements of the mine.

No additional provision for E&M workshop has been given in this report since

no such remarkable additional E&M input like CHP, pumps, etc. has been provided.

The existing E&M workshop will serve the purpose.

16. CIVIL CONSTRUCTION Existing arrangement for 18.75.0 Mty project will take care for expansion

project. Workshop (H.E.M.M. and E&M) has been made for 18.75 Mty projects will

suffice for expansion project.

17. ROUTINE ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING Routine environmental monitoring is being carried out every fortnight in each

month in and around of Lakhanpur OCP.

21. RAIN WATER HARVESTING

Rain water is naturally pure water except where it becomes acidic due to

industrial pollution. The rapid exploitation of ground water as well as surface water

due to the industrial developmental projects, increase in population resulted in acute

scarcity of fresh water availability. It has become necessary to conserve this valuable

natural resource for sustainable development.

Conservation of this valuable natural resource can be done by collecting this

rain water scientifically and utilizing it either for drinking purposes or ground water

recharging purposes.

Scientifically & technically designed system which helps us to collect and

utilize the rain water effectively through various steps and collectedly termed as “Rain

Water Harvesting”.

The various steps/methods are roof top catchments, check dams, percolation

pond, storage tanks, etc.

Job No.706137 Addendum Report, Page - 1

Addendum report on the likely increase in pollution,

existing and proposed protection measures etc. while increasing production from 18.75 Mty to 21.00 Mty

for Lakhanpur OCP Expn. Ib Valley Coalfield.

1.0 INTRODUCTION The pollution impacts of coal mining and its allied activities of the projects

have been assessed for incremental effects from 18.75 Mty to production of 21.00

Mty. The environmental attributes like air, water, land resource and rehabilitation &

resettlement have been taken for impact assessment.

AIR ENVIRONMENT

1.1 AIR POLLUTION IMPACT ASSESSMENT

The main pollutant on ambient air quality is PM10. Dust (PM10) is the major

emission from mining activities in coalfield area. Impact has been predicted for air

quality taking PM10 into consideration in and around the project area. The impact

assessment has been carried out considering the following points:

(i) Calculation of rate of generation of PM10 using empirical formulae and

emission factors for different mining operations developed by USEPA &

Environment Australia:2001

(ii) Air quality impact prediction (AQIP) using AERMOD of Lakes View

Environment.

(iii) The AQIP modeling has been carried out for incremental capacity of

2.25 MTPA (i.e from present capacity of 18.75 MTPA to peak capacity

of 21.00 MTPA).

CMPDI


CALCULATION OF RATE OF GENERATION OF AIR POLLUTION FROM LAKHANPUR EXPANSION OCP (CAPACITY 21.0 MTY i.e. 2.25 MTY INCREMENTAL) USING EMPIRICAL EQUATION

Activity-wise emission rates have been estimated using the above mentioned

empirical formulae and emission factors. The formulae have been used to evaluate

the emission rate for the mining activities and locations e.g. drilling, haul road,

transportation road, loading, unloading, and dozing on dumps, etc. Based on the

above study, rate of generation of PM10 from Lakhanpur Expansion OCP considering

the incremental project of 2.25 MTPA has been calculated.

Consideration of production and population of equipment

(i) The production schedule of peak 21 MTPA with corresponding mine life of 13 years has been considered.

(ii) Total OB removal is 682.39 M.Cum. (III) The total equipment, their capacity and population for

incremental 2.25 MTPA production schedule have been considered.

AIR QUALITY IMPACT PREDICTION (AQIP) OF PM10 USING AERMOD MODEL

Air quality impact prediction (for PM10) for this mine was carried out using

“AERMOD Model” considering area sources. The model was applied to Incremental production of 2.25 Mty (i.e. from 18.75 MTPA to peak production 21.0 MTPA) for

with control measures.

The average PM10 at Monitoring stations, predicted incremental PM10

concentration and absolute PM10 at various receptors are given in the following table: (Values in µg/cu. m)

Note : Predominant wind direction is from South -West to North-East RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

The AQIP analysis using AERMOD revealed that the incremental PM10 levels

of Lakhanpur OC Expansion Project for incremental production of 2.25.0 MTPA will

be 10.00 µg/cu.m at West Side Of Quarry No 4 with control measures.

It has been observed that due to increment in production the increase in pollutant

levels is not very high and absolute value is well within the permissible limits of GSR

742(E) 2000.
