8.2 Agriculture Land:

Mayurbhanj is surrounded by no of forest areas as well as Rocky Mountains. People

used to cultivate Paddy in most parts of the hill slopes and in plain lands. Most of the

cultivators grow short duration local paddy in the un-bonded upland during Kharif

season. The crop suffers moisture stress at different stages due to inadequate

rainfall. The primary objective of Agriculture Department is increase of production as

well as productivity of major crops like paddy, groundnut, mustard, Mung, Biri &

vegetables which is widely covered in this District in both Khariff & Rabi season.

Another key objective is the all round development of the farming community of the

District. The Deputy Director of Agriculture is the head of office so far as agriculture

is concerned & he is the Principal Agriculture Officer of the District. Under him there

are 5 District Agriculture Officers & the block under them. As already pointed out,

that agriculture is the main livelihood of the people in Mayurbhanj District. It is

therefore also designated as the food bowl of Odisha. Rice is the principal crop

grown in this district, followed by other cereals, pulses, oilseeds, vegetables, spices

and sugarcane. The agricultural statistics for the district is shown in subsequent

11.0 GEOLOGY AND MINERAL WEALTH OF THE DISTRICT:

11.1 Geology

Mayurbhanj is a unique district in Odisha with rich and varied geology. The major

rock types encountered in the district are Granite Gneiss, Quartzite, Orthoquartzite,

Arkose, Shale, Phyllite, Gabbro, Px-granite. The geology of the district is constituted

by the Similipal complex at its central part belonging the Archaean age,

unconformably lying over Singhbhum Granite and Banded Iron Formation (BIF). It

RIVER SAND MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT

21

consists of three alternate bands of volcano sedimentary units uniquely disposed in a

ring like circular pattern formed under sub-marine conditions. The sedimentary of

Similipal mostly comprise of orthoquartzite, Arkoses and minor band of ferruginous

shale and phyllite. The quartzites are devoid of any volcanic materials within it and

exhibit well-preserved cross-bedding and palaeo-current structures indicating

shallow water sub-marine origin. Important mineral resources include iron, copper,

itanium, vanadium, chinaclay, nickel, kyanite, quartz, talc, steatite, soapstone and

bauxite. Natural Emerald, green Beryl and opaque Beryl are reported to occur

around Jaraguda, Pokharidiha, Bahadurpur,

11.2 Geomorphology:

Geomorphological features of Mayurbhanj district are mainly attributed to Similipal

Complex being at its central part. The mountain ranges comprise mainly of highland

plateau and valleys with intrusive running through them. The second physiographic

unit is Tertiary Plain occurring in the eastern part of the district. The third

physiographic unit is Alluvial Plain .The drainage density is observed to be fairly

moderate and drainage pattern is dendritic in nature. It consists of three alternate

bands of volcano sedimentary units uniquely disposed in a ring like circular pattern

formed under sub- marine conditions. Baripada Beds outcrops of tertiary formation

occur around Baripada town. These comprise stratified clay and sand with marly clay

or limestone interbands. The alluvial plains owe their origin due to various fluviatile

actions of major rivers. The details of the geomorphic unit as identified are as below:

11.3 Stratigraphy:

The study area comprises the following distinct geomorphic units:

i) Younger alluvial plain

ii) Older alluvial plain

iii) Lateritic upload

11.4 Mineral Resources:

The earliest known geological survey in Mayurbhanj dates back to 1903, when P.N.

Bose brought to light the extensive iron-ore deposits of high quantity on the

Gorumahisani and Suleipat hills in Bamanghaty Sub-Division. These deposits were

considered to be almost inexhaustible and were pronounced to be of excellent

quality, perhaps second to none in the whole of Asia by the famous American and

English experts like M/s Perin, Weld and Colonel Staddart, who visited these deposits

during 1905-06. This discovery was a momentous one as the steel plant of the Tata

Iron & Steel Co. at Jamshedpur was entirely based on the exploitation of these

deposits. By 1915, important discoveries of Steatite near Lulung and placer gold

from the sands of Subarnarekha, Kharkhai and Barhai rivers had been made. The

placer gold deposits were being worked by M/s J.B. Bettie of Calcutta, Mr. V.G.

Piggot of Ghatsila and the Mayurbhanj Prospecting Concession Syndicate.

RIVER SAND MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT

23

Gold: The mid-Archaean Gorumahisani-Badampahar schist belt composed of basic

ultrabasic, volcanic rocks and volcanogenic sediments. This belt has been

prognosticated as a rift-type of volcanic dominated one and is highly potential for

economic grade gold mineralization. Likely targets include: a) auriferous quartz veins

close to the contact of sulphide chert volcanics, b) sheared and sulphidised Fe-rich

tholeiite with anomalous copper, c) epigenetic vein type of mineralization and BIF

volcanic association, and d) sulphidic conglomerate resting over the basic volcanics.

Placer gold occurrences are known from rivers and stream of Mayurbhanj district. An

area of about 5 square kilometers of alluvium at the headwaters of Sapgora and

Borai rivers near Kudersai was indicated as promising.

RIVER SAND MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT

24

Iron: Bose discovered iron ore deposits in Gorumahisani and Badampahar in the

eastwhile princely state of Mayurbhanj (now Mayurbhanj District). Gorumahisani

deposits were investigated by Perin & Weld (1905). Gorumahisani- Badampahar-

Suleipat deposits are associated with banded hematite / magnetite grunerite and

BHJ.

Vanadium Ores & Titanium: Vanadium is an important alloying element.

Magnetite associated with gabbro- anorthosite suite of rocks contains vanadium and

titanium. Deposits of vanadium-magnetite occur in association with gabbro-

Anorthosite suite of rocks in the precambrian metamorphites. Vanadium bearing

magnetite belts are :-

(a) Rairangpur – Bisoi belt (Kumardubi, Betjharan Amdabeda)

(b) Bisoi – Joshipur belt (Mayurbeka, Kesham, Sialnoi)

(c) Baripada – Podadiha belt (Andipur, Bahalda)

Pyrophyllite: is mainly used as a high grade ceramic product, electric insulator and

refractory material. The comp. is Al2O34SiO2 H20. It is formed as an alteration

product of feldspar. Pyrophyllite occurrences are reported at Kankrani, Jashipur,

Gorumahisani, Bangriposhi and Manada in Mayurbhanj dist. Ichinda, Khairakocha,

Jamukunda, Nakulkocha, Kapadiha, Dunguridiha, Maheshpur, Kashidiha, Sagragora

pyroxinite and dunite etc.

Bauxite: In Similipal complex (Mayurbhanj) aluminous laterite/ Bauxite are

observed around 1000 m AMSL. The spongy aluminous laterite/bauxite occurs as

sheets and boulders occupying the flat-topped hills made up of

metavolcanics. Both ultramafics and metavolcanics are lateritised giving rise to

nickeliferous laterite and aluminous laterite respectively.

China Clay: is clay like material approximating the mineral Kaolinite (Al2O3, 2SIO2,

2H2O). China clay is found to occur in a long belt stretching from Singhbhum to

Mayurbhanj. Badampahar-Joshipur- Karanjia – Ramachandrapur belt is the most

important china-clay producing area of the state. The important deposits in

Mayurbhanj district are found near Joshipur, Chanchbani, Dumuria, Jamda,

Kodadiha, Jamkeswar and Thakurmunda. China clay has many industrial applications

as filler in paper, textile, rubber, in the manufacture of potteries, ceramics, sanitary

wares, glazed tiles, white cement, insecticides, paints, cosmetics, refractory bricks

etc. Soap stone and Steatite Asbestos is mined from Mayurbhanj area.

Talc, steatite and soapstone: Important localities of these deposits in

Mayurbhanj dist are Tiring, Kendumundi and Kharidamak.

Kyanite: Kyanite deposits of refractory grade occur in Panijia area of Mayurbhanj

dist, where it is associated with dumortierite bearing rocks, qtz-veins, quartz-mica-

schists and talc-tremolite-schist. Other kyanite occurrence include Purnapani &

Similipal.

Quartz & Quartzite: Quartz and silica sand are mostly used in glass foundry,

ferrosilicon alloy, ceramic industry, abrasive, paint, rubber, textile industries.

Transparent varieties of quartz such as rock crystal, amethyst, citrine, Rosequartz

and smoky quartz are used as semi-precious gemstone. Quartz is a piezoelectric

material and is used in radio circuit, Radars and ultra-sonic devices. Quartzite is a

Salient Features of Important Rivers and Streams:

The Budhabalanga River (also called Balanga River) flows through the districts

of Mayurbhanj & Balasore and finally reached Bay of Bengal. The Budhabalanga,

rises from Similipal hills and plunges through Barehipani Falls, the second-highest

waterfall in India, located in Similipal National Park. It then flows in a northerly

direction up to the village Karanjiapal in Bangiriposi police-station. Thereafter, it

turns to the north-east and flows along the railway track up to the village

Jhankapahadi. There it changes its course to the south and meets the Katra nala.

The other tributaries are the Palpala and the Chipat both of which are hill streams

rising from the Similipal hills. Then the river passes through Baripada. It later flows

through Balasore district and into the Bay of Bengal. The Budhabalanga is about 175

kilometres (109 mi) long and has a total catchment area of 4,840 square kilometres

(1,870 sq mi). Its major tributaries are the Sona, Gangahar, and the Katra.

Burhabalang and its tributaries, viz. Sona Nadi, Amrutia Nadi, Gangahar Nadi drain

almost round the year in the present area. Sona Nadi receives the watery effluent

load through a nalah (Sankh nalah) from the Balgopalpur Industrial Estate and flows

from west to east. Amrutia Nadi flows from NNW to SSE and carries the waste water

load of East Coast. Subarnrekha originate from Nagri of Jharkhand and then enter

into Mayurbhanj district, very less portion of the river flows within Mayurbhanj

district, Major portion of Subarnarekha River passes in the Balasore district. Another

river Jambhira runs in Mayurbhanj district then enters into Balasore district and

Renamed as river Jalaka flows into Bay of Bengal. Other small rivers run in this

district like River Khadkhai originates from Tunhgru R.F. and plunges through

Suleipat Dam (Khadkhai Reserviour). It then runs towards Rairangpur, Bahalda,

Tiringi area of western direction of Mayurbhanj district and finally reached at River

Subarnarekha. River Deo rises from Similipal R.F. and runs towards western part of

the district and flows through Karanjia area and then joins with Baitarani River. River

Khairabandhan originates from Similipal R.F. and flows towards western part of the

Mayurbhanj district through Jashipur, Raruan, Sukruli area of district and then joins

with River Baitarani This river maintains a sluggish flow in the pre-monsoon period,

but swells menacingly with the onset of monsoon often flooding large tracts. Another

small tributary named as Kanhu starts from River Khadkhai and branched into

CONCLUSION:

Since it is an interim report, to meet the requirement of minerals in the present

scenario, it is proposed to identify such potential areas at certain interval and get

the data bank of DSR to be updated. The insitu mining activity in any area is on one

hand bring revenue and employment (Direct and indirect) and on other hand if not

done properly potential pollution and ecological imbalance increases, the ability of

the ecosystem can also be reduced. Particulate matter transported by the wind as a

result of excavations, blasting, transportation of materials, heavy equipments used

raise these particulate levels; and Gas emissions from the combustion of fuels in

stationary and mobile sources, explosions, and mineral processing. All these

activities indirectly affected the biodiversity of area. Larger potential and smaller

areas have been identified in Mayurbhanj district on the basis of geological study

carried out during field observation, which can be considered for mining concession

after all the parameters for statutory clearances are verified by consulting with

concerned authorities.

encountered in the district are Granite Gneiss, Quartzite, Orthoquartzite, Arkose,

Shale, Phyllite, Gabbro, Px-granite. The geology of the district is constituted by the

Similipal complex at its central part belonging the Archaean age, unconformably lying

over Singhbhum Granite and Banded Iron Formation (BIF). It consists of three

alternate bands of volcano sedimentary units uniquely disposed in a ring like circular

pattern formed under sub- marine conditions. Baripada Beds outcrops of tertiary

formation occur around Baripada town. These comprise stratified clay and sand with

marly clay or limestone interbands. Important mineral resources include iron, copper,

itanium, vanadium, chinaclay, nickel, kyanite ,quartz, talc, steatite ,soapstone and

bauxite.

4.1 Physiography & Geomorphology:

Mayurbhanj district presents diverse physiographic features, Physiographically the

study area can be divided into 3 categories. The first physiographic unit of the district

is high mountain ranges, Similipal Complex being at its central part (Figure 1). The

mountain ranges comprise mainly of highland plateau and valleys with intrusive

running through them. The second physiographic unit is Tertiary Plain occurring in the

eastern part of the district. The third physiographic unit is Alluvial Plain which lies

partly in Rasgovindpur, Morada, Samakhunta, Betnoti, Baripada, Badasahi and

Suliapada Blocks. The highest elevation of about 559m at Bahalda near Similpal hill

and higher elevations of the district, due to scarp landforms some waterfalls are

observed in the district. The general slope of the district is from north to south.

Geologically the area is comprised with Archean granites and gneisses.

Geomorphologically the district is divided into 3 units:

i) The denudational hills with moderate to high slope occurring in the western part of

the district.

ii) Dissected pediments having gentle slope.

4.3 Mineral Resources:

The earliest known geological survey in Mayurbhanj dates back to 1903, when P.N.

Bose brought to light the extensive iron-ore deposits of high quantity on the

Gorumahisani and Suleipat hills in Bamanghaty Sub-Division. These deposits were

considered to be almost inexhaustible and were pronounced to be of excellent quality,

perhaps second to none in the whole of Asia by the famous American and English

experts like M/s Perin, Weld and Colonel Staddart, who visited these deposits during

1905-06. This discovery was a momentous one as the steel plant of the Tata Iron &

Steel Co. at Jamshedpur was entirely based on the exploitation of these deposits. By

1915, important discoveries of Steatite near Lulung and placer gold from the sands of

Subarnarekha, Kharkhai and Barhai rivers had been made. The placer gold deposits

were being worked by M/s J.B. Bettie of Calcutta, Mr. V.G. Piggot of Ghatsila and the

Mayurbhanj Prospecting Concession Syndicate.

Gold: The mid-Archaean Gorumahisani-Badampahar schist belt composed of basic

ultrabasic, volcanic rocks and volcanogenic sediments. This belt has been

prognosticated as a rift-type of volcanic dominated one and is highly potential for

economic grade gold mineralization. Likely targets include: a) auriferous quartz veins

close to the contact of sulphide chert volcanics, b) sheared and sulphidised Fe-rich

tholeiite with anomalous copper, c) epigenetic vein type of mineralization and BIF

volcanic association, and d) sulphidic conglomerate resting over the basic volcanics.

Placer gold occurrence are known from rivers and stream of Mayurbhanj district. An

area of about 5 square kilometers of alluvium at the headwaters of Sapgora and Borai

rivers near Kudersai was indicated as promising.

Iron: Bose discovered iron ore deposits in Gorumahisani and Badampahar in the

eastwhile princely state of Mayurbhanj (now Mayurbhanj District). Gorumahisani

deposits were investigated by Perin & Weld (1905). Gorumahisani- Badampahar-

Suleipat deposits are associated with banded hematite / magnetite grunerite and BHJ.

associated with gabbro- anorthosite suite of rocks contain vanadium and titanium.

Deposits of vanadium-magnetite occur in association with gabbro-Anorthosite suite of

rocks in the precambrian metamorphites. Vanadium bearing magnetite belts are :-

(a) Rairangpur – Bisoi belt (Kumardubi, Betjharan Amdabeda)

(b) Bisoi – Joshipur belt (Mayurbeka, Kesham, Sialnoi)

(c) Baripada – Podadiha belt (Andipur, Bahalda)

Pyrophyllite : is mainly used as a high grade ceramic product, electric insulator and

refractory material. The comp. is Al2O34SiO2 H20. It is formed as an alteration product

of feldspar. Pyrophyllite occurrences are reported at Kankrani, Jashipur,

Gorumahisani, Bangriposhi and Manada in Mayurbhnaj dist. Ichinda, Khairakocha,

Jamukunda, Nakulkocha, Kapadiha, Dunguridiha, Maheshpur, Kashidiha, Sagragora

and Pokpoka. Dimension stone of the district are granite, granite-gneiss, migmatites,

syenite, gabbro, anorthosite, charnockite, leptynite, pyroxene granulite, dolerite,

pyroxinite and dunite etc.

Bauxite: In Similipal complex (Mayurbhanj) aluminous laterite/ Bauxite are observed

around 1000 m AMSL. The spongy aluminous laterite/bauxite occurs as sheets and

boulders occupying the flat-topped hills made up of metavolcanics. Both

ultramafics and metavolcanics are lateritised giving rise to nickeliferous laterite and

aluminous laterite respectively.

China Clay clay like material approximating the mineral Kaolinite (Al2O3, 2SIO2,

2H2O). China clay is found to occur in a long belt stretching from Singhbhum to

Mayurbhanj. Badampahar-Joshipur- Karanjia – Ramachandrapur belt is the most

important china-clay producing area of the state. The important deposits in

Mayurbhanj district are found near Jashipur, Chanchbani, Dumuria, Jamda, Kodadiha,

Jamkeswar and Thakurmunda. China clay has many industrial applications as filler in

paper, textile, rubber, in the manufacture of potteries, ceramics, sanitary wares,

glazed tiles, white cement, insecticides, paints, cosmetics, refractory bricks etc. Soap

stone and Steatite Asbestos is mined from Mayurbhanj area.

dist are Tiring, Kendumundi and Kharidamak.

Kyanite: Kyanite deposits of refractory grade occur in Panijia area of Mayurbhanj

dist, where it is associated with dumortierite bearing rocks, qtz-veins, quartz-mica-

schists and talc-tremolite-schist. Other kyanite occurrence include Purnapani &

Similipal.

Quartz & Quartzite: Quartz and silica sand are mostly used in glass foundry,

ferrosilicon alloy, ceramic industry, abrasive, paint, rubber, textile industries.

Transparent varieties of quartz such as rock crystal, amethyst, citrine, Rosequartz and

smoky quartz are used as semi-precious gemstone. Quartz is a piezoelectric material

and is used in radio circuit, Radars and ultra-sonic devices. Quartzite is a

monomineralic rock constituted predominantly of quartz. There are 6 mining leases

for quartz and quartzite in Mayurbhanj dist.

5.1 River System

The Budhabalanga River (also called Balanga River) flows through the districts

of Mayurbhanj & Balasore and finally reached Bay of Bengal. The Budhabalanga, rises

from Similipal hills and plunges through Barehipani Falls, the second-highest waterfall

in India, located in Similipal National Park. It then flows in a northerly direction up to

the village Karanjiapal in Bangiriposi police-station. Thereafter, it turns to the north-

east and flows along the railway track up to the village Jhankapahadi. There it

changes its course to the south and meets the Katra nala. The other tributaries are

the Palpala and the Chipat both of which are hill streams rising from the Similipal hills.

Then the river passes through Baripada. It later flows through Balasore district and

into the Bay of Bengal. The Budhabalanga is about 175 kilometres (109 mi) long and

has a total catchment area of 4,840 square kilometres (1,870 sq mi). Its major

tributaries are the Sona, Gangahar, and the Katra. Burhabalang and its tributaries, viz.

ROAD METAL/BUILDING STONE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

Sona Nadi, Amrutia Nadi, Gangahar Nadi drain almost round the year in the present

area. Sona Nadi receives the watery effluent load through a nalah (Sankh nalah) from

the Balgopalpur Industrial Estate and flows from west to east. Amrutia Nadi flows

from NNW to SSE and carries the waste water load of East Coast. Subarnrekha

originate from Nagri of Jharkhand and then enter into Mayurbhanj district, very less

portion of the river flows within Mayurbhanj district, Major portion of Subarnarekha

River passes in the Balasore district. Another river Jambhira runs in Mayurbhanj

district then enters into Balasore district and Renamed as river Jalaka flows into Bay

of Bengal. Other small rivers run in this district like River Khadkhai originates from

Tunhgru R.F. and plunges through Suleipat Dam (Khadkhai Reserviour). It then runs

towards Rairangpur, Bahalda, Tiringi area of western direction of Mayurbhanj district

and finally reached at River Subarnarekha. River Deo rises from Similipal R.F. and

runs towards western part of the district and flows through Karanjia area and then

joins with Baitarani River. River Khairabandhan originates from Similipal R.F. and

flows towards western part of the Mayurbhanj district through Jashipur, Raruan,

Sukruli area of district and then joins with River Baitarani This river maintains a

sluggish flow in the pre-monsoon period, but swells menacingly with the onset of

monsoon often flooding large tracts. Another small tributary named as Kanhu starts

from River Khadkhai and branched into Jalapa, Ghagera nala meets at Jharbeda area

of Mayurbhanj District.

6.2 Agriculture Land:

Mayurbhanj is surrounded by no of forest areas as well as Rocky Mountains. People

used to cultivate Paddy in most parts of the hill slopes and in plain lands. Most of the

cultivators grow short duration local paddy in the un-bonded upland during Kharif

season. The crop suffers moisture stress at different stages due to inadequate rainfall.

The primary objective of Agriculture Department is increase of production as well as

productivity of major crops like paddy, groundnut, mustard, Mung, Biri & vegetables

which is widely covered in this District in both Kharif & Rabi season. Another key

objective is the all round development of the farming community of the District. The

Deputy Director of Agriculture is the head of office so far as agriculture is concerned &

he is the Principal Agriculture Officer of the District. Under him there are 5 District

Agriculture Officers & the block under them. As already pointed out, that agriculture is

the main livelihood of the people in Mayurbhanj District. It is therefore also

designated as the food bowl of Odisha. Rice is the principal crop grown in this district,

followed by other cereals, pulses, oilseeds, vegetables, spices and sugarcane. The

agricultural statistics for the district is shown in subsequent tables below:

The occurrence of fresh water aquifers in coastal tract of Mayurbhanj restricted by

two important factors‐ (i) Occurrence of hard rocks in the western side and (ii) Salinity

hazard problems in the eastern part. The water bearing formation of the area can be

divided into (a) areas underlain by fractured, fissured and consolidated basement rock

formations (b) areas underlain by recent unconsolidated alluvial formations.

(a) Consolidated Formation - These are most predominant rock types occurring in

the undulating plains of the district. Groundwater occurs under unconfined condition

in the shallow weathered zone and circulates through fractures and joints. The

thickness of the weathered zone varies from 3 to 35 m. Depth of open wells in these

formations varies from 5 to 14 m below ground level.

(b) Unconsolidated alluvial formations - The unconsolidated formations consists of

laterite and alluvium. Laterites at places are highly consolidated and used as building

stones. The laterites have high degree of effective porosity and form potential

aquifers commonly tapped in dug wells. The alluvium comprises an admixture of clay,

silt, sand and calcareous concretions in varying proportions. The coarse sediments like

sand and gravel form the main repository of ground water. Ground water occurs

under both unconfined condition in shallow aquifers and in confined condition in

deeper parts.

7.2 Depth of water level:

The depth to water level map for pre and post monsoon periods 2011 are prepared

based on the ground water monitoring data of 77 Nos of National Hydrograph

Stations of C.G.W.B. monitored during the month of April and November 2006 are

presented below respectively. The pre and post monsoon depth to water levels in the

district range from 3.54 to 14.50 m below ground level and 1.39 to 8.20 m below

ground level respectively. It is observed that during pre monsoon about 75% of the

total areas show the water level varying between 5 to 10 m below ground level.

During post monsoon nearly 60% of the area has water levels within 2 to 5 m,

while the rest part has between 0 to 2 and 4 to 6 m below ground levels. In localized

part of Morada, Kaptipada and Thakurmunda the water level is > 5 mt.

7.3 Ground Water Quality

The chemical quality of ground water in the district has been assessed on the basis of

chemical analysis of ground water samples collected during groundwater monitoring,

Hydrogeological surveys and groundwater exploration. The results of the chemical

analysis are presented in Table.

7.4 Ground Water Development

In the rural areas the entire water supply is dependent on ground water. Ground

water development is mainly carried out in the district through dug wells and Hand

pumps. In general dug wells are of 2 m diameter and the depth ranges between 8 to

15 m depending on the thickness of the weathered zone, tapping the shallow aquifer

in the weathered zone and uppermost slice of the basement. Large number of dug

wells used for drinking water is under private ownership for which there is no reliable

data. Over the years Mark II/ Mark III hand pumps are being drilled in large numbers

for ground water development. These hand pumps have the following two major

advantages i) less susceptible to contamination from surface sources and ii) tap

fractures between 20-60m depth which have been found to be less affected by

seasonal water level fluctuation and thus have lesser chances of failure even during

extreme summer. Over all the present level of ground water development is only

27.21 percent in the district with the maximum in Badasahi Block viz. 64.65% and

minimum in Bijatala Block. Block wise development figure indicate that all the blocks

come under the white categories. Thus there is ample scope for development of

groundwater in the district to augment irrigation potentials through suitable ground

water abstraction structure

7.5 Ground Water Related Issue and Problems

Some of key ground water related issues are

I. Locating suitable sites for bore wells

II. Suitable design of dug wells and hand pumps

III. Taking up artificial recharge projects to augment the resource availability in

Mayurbhanj district.

IV. Optimal development of irrigation potential by developing ground water available

for future uses.

V. Creating public awareness for conserving ground water through awareness

camps, NGO’s and mass media.

7.8 RECOMMENDATIONS:

1) Intensive groundwater exploration should be taken up to delineate deeper

potential water saturated fracture zones and to compute aquifer parameter.

2) Large scale planning for ground water development should be preceded by

intensive hydrogeological and geophysical surveys aided by remote sensing

studies.

3) Effective measures may be taken to conserve the surface run off by contour

bonding at suitable sites. Also proper maintenance of reservoir, tanks and spring

channels by periodical disiltation should be carried out.

4) Existing dug-wells should be deepened to tap the maximum saturated thickness of

the weathered mantle or vertical bores may be drilled through the bottom to

enhance the well yield.

5) Energy station of wells already constructed should be stepped up to ensure

optimal utilization of the irrigation potential already created.

6) The farmers should be educated through agricultural extension services fro

adopting suitable cropping pattern for optimal utilization of available groundwater

resources.

7) Programmes for artificial recharge may also be taken up for augmentation of

groundwater through construction of percolation tanks, subsurface dykes, and

check dams and through contour bonding etc.

8) An intensive network of groundwater monitoring stations are required to be

ROAD METAL/BUILDING STONE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

31

established in the command areas of irrigation projects to monitor the changes in

groundwater regime consequent on application of surface water irrigation.

15. QUALITY/GRADE OF MINERAL AVAILABLE IN THE DISTRICT:

Rocks and Minerals found in Mayurbhanj District:-

The district is endowed with various types of mineral resources like Iron ore, China

Clay, Quartz, Soap stone, Granite, Manganese, etc. Due to presence of huge

mineral resources, mining activities have been undertaken in a big scale. Bahalda,

Jashipur, Karanjia, Koshorpur, Bisoi, Gorumahisani and Rairangpur are the places in

the district having deposits of the above mineral products. The availability of

mineral deposits is given in the table below. The district’s mineral deposits have not

been utilized to maximum extent for industrial purpose. Some of the items like

China clay, Soap stone, Asbestos, etc. can be used in small scale sector. So the

available resources of the district need harnessing properly for industrial and

productive use. Road metal/Building stone of the district are very much suitable for

various construction purposes after crushing and screening. The granite gneisses

are well foliated, jointed and weathered easily.

16. USE OF MINERAL:

Uses of Road Metal:

Building Stone:- Weathered granitic rocks having more cleavage and joints

have been extensively used as road metal/building stone for construction of roads,

ROAD METAL/BUILDING STONE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

38

buildings and various infrastructure development works.

Sub base and base material in road and highway construction:- Crushed

stone is the most basic use of granite. Crushed granite is used as a sub base and base

material in road, railway and highway construction. It is used as crushed stone media

in sewage system drain fields and as a base material for foundations and construction

slabs. Crushed granite in attractive colors is used as a landscape stone and in

planters. It also makes great railroad ballast, and in larger sizes it makes good riprap.

Granite Paving Stone:- Granite paving stones or "pavers" can make a colorful

and interesting way of paving a driveway or patio. The beauty of natural stone

combined with expert craftsmanship and design can produce a unique and lasting

result. In the past granite blocks were often used to pave city streets.

Engineering:- Engineers have traditionally used polished granite surface plates

to establish a plane of reference, since they are relatively impervious and inflexible.

Sandblasted concrete with a heavy aggregate content has an appearance similar to

rough granite, and is often used as a substitute when use of real granite is

impractical. Granite block is usually processed into slabs, which can be cut and shaped

by a cutting center. Granite tables are used extensively as bases for optical

instruments because of granite's rigidity, high dimensional stability, and excellent

vibration characteristics.

17. DEMAND AND SUPPLY OF THE MINERAL IN THE LAST THREE YEARS:

As such there are huge infrastructural activities such as road, building, railways are

coming up by Govt. of India & PSUs under “Make in India” programme. The Granitic

rocks are the main raw minerals for the above activities and considering the last three

years’ actual production of Mayurbhanj with respect to the requirement of the state

has a huge gap. It is proposed to start the stone production from larger block/area to

at least double the production of the district which will enhance the revenue of the

district and also support the livelihood of the local people.

LONGITUDE)

Currently there are two such clusters of mining leases in Kaptipada area of the district

(Enclosed as Annexure-II). However, it is proposed to consider the cluster of mining

lease while planning for new lease area in coming years.

20. DETAILS OF ECO-SENSITIVE AREA, IF ANY, IN THE DISTRICT:

Eco sensitive zone of Similipal wild life sanctuary is located within the district.

21. IMPACTS OF MINING ON ENVIRONMENT:

The most important environmental impact of mining projects is:-

Transportation sources:

Transportation sources of air pollutants include heavy vehicles used in excavation

operations, cars that transport personnel at the mining site, and trucks that transport

mining materials. The level of polluting emissions from these sources depends on the

fuel and conditions of the equipment. Even though individual emissions can be

relatively small, collectively these emissions can be of real concern. In addition,

mobile sources are a major source of particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and volatile

organic compounds that contribute significantly to the formation of ground-level ozone

Fugitive emissions:

Common sources of fugitive emissions include: storage and handling of materials;

mine processing; fugitive dust, blasting, construction activities, and roadways

associated with mining activities; leach pads, and tailing piles and ponds; and waste

rock piles. Sources and characteristics of fugitive emissions dust in mining operations

vary in each case, as do their impacts. Impacts are difficult to predict and calculate

but should be considered since they could be a significant source of hazardous air

pollutants.

Noise and vibration:

Noise pollution associated with mining may include noise from vehicle engines,

loading and unloading of rock into steel dumpers, chutes, power generation, and

ROAD METAL/BUILDING STONE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

40

other sources. Cumulative impacts of shoveling, ripping, drilling, blasting, transport,

crushing, grinding, and stock-piling can significantly affect wildlife and nearby

residents.

Vibrations are associated with many types of equipment used in mining operations,

but blasting is considered the major source. Vibration has affected the stability of

infrastructures, buildings, and homes of people living near large-scale open-pit mining

operations. According to a study commissioned by the European Union in 2000:

“Shocks and vibrations as a result of blasting in connection with mining can lead to

noise, dust and collapse of structures in surrounding inhabited areas. The animal life,

on which the local population may depend, might also be disturbed.”

22. REMEDIAL MEASURES TO MITIGATE THE IMPACT OF MINING ON THE

ENVIRONMENT:

1. Following are the remedial measures to mitigate the in Water sprinkling on haul

road, loading and unloading points.

2. Plantation along the safety zone and dump area.

3. Providing dust masks to workers.

4. Regular monitoring of ambient air quality.

5. Provision of air conditioned cabin of Excavators and Dumpers.

6. Regular and proper maintenance of working equipments.

7. Periodic medical examination of the workers and organize medical camp in the area.

8. Use Milli Second Delay Detonator in blasting operation.

9. Provisions of ear plug to the workers.

10. Regular training programme to the mines workers and operators.

23. RECLAMATION OF MINED OUT AREA

Necessity of Reclamation & Rehabilitation:

Exponential growth in mineral production since 1980.

Mining activities causes physical, chemical, biological and socio-economic changes in

the area.

Surface mining activities disturb the original land profile.

In India, mineral production comes mostly from opencast mines & hence land

ROAD METAL/BUILDING STONE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

41

degradation problems are of serious concern.

An intricate, in-depth and site-specified techniques involving integrated approach is

necessary.

Reclamation has three vital roles:

i. Reclamation – Reclamation means return the mined-out land with useful life. It

implies restoring the land to a form and productivity that is useful and inconformity

with a prior land use. Reclamation always may not be a single- phase operation.

ii. Rehabilitation – Rehabilitation is to bring batch the degraded land to a normal

stage by a special treatment. It is a process of taking some mitigation measures for

disturbed environmental condition created through mining activities.

iii. Restoration – Restoration is the process of returning the mined out land being

fit to an acceptable environmental condition. However, the general acceptable

meaning of the term is bringing the disturbed land to its original form. Restoration is

often used to indicate that biological properties of soil are put back to what they were.

This is a rate phenomenon.

iv. When active mining ceases, mine facilities and the site are reclaimed and closed.

The goal of mine site reclamation and closure should always be to return the site to a

condition that most resembles the pre-mining condition. Mines that are notorious for

their immense impact on the environment often made impacts only during the closure

phase, when active mining operations ceased. These impacts can persist for decades

and even centuries.

Mine reclamation and closure plans must describe in sufficient detail how the mining

company will restore the site to a condition that most resembles pre-mining

environmental quality; how it will prevent – in perpetuity – the release of toxic

contaminants from various mine facilities (such as abandoned open pits and tailings

impoundments); and how funds will be set aside to insure that the costs of

reclamation and closure will be paid for.

Proposed future land use after reclamation:

a. Forestry, b. Recreation, c. Water Reservoir, d. Crop Land,

e. residential/Commercial, f. Fish & wildlife Habitat, g. Undeveloped Land,

h. Grazing/Pasture Land

Statutory requirement:

ROAD METAL/BUILDING STONE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

42

As per the Mineral Conservation Development Rule, 2017, the following rules must be

bare in mind by the mine owner/agent/manager, which is a part of reclamation

activities –

Rule 22, Mine Closure Plan

Rule 23, Submission of Progressive Mine Closure Plan Rule 24, Submission of Final

Mine Closure Plan

Rule 26, Responsibility of holder of mining lease Rule 27, Financial Assurance

Rule 35, Sustainable Mining

24. RISK ASSESSMENT AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN:

Mining activity because of the very nature of the operation, complexity of the

systems, procedures and methods always involves some amount of hazards. Hazard

identification and risk analysis is carried for identification of undesirable events that

can leads to a hazard, the analysis of hazard mechanism by which this undesirable

event could occur and usually the estimation of extent, magnitude and likelihood of

harmful effects. The activities which can cause high risk related to face stability and

the person blasting the shots. It was observed that on a working face of the mine,

there were large cracks and unsupported rocks were present, which can lead to a

serious hazard and injure workers engaged in loading operation and machineries

because of rock falls or slides. This type of condition turn out because improper

dressing of the bench and improper supervision. To avoid the hazards due to fall of

rocks the face must be examined, made suitable for working and the remedial

measures must be taken to make it safe if there is any doubt that a collapse could

take place. Working of the face should be in the direction taking into account the

geology of the area such that face and quarry side remain stable. Another major risk

identified in mines is due to the firing of explosive by an unqualified person. In the

mines there is problem of fly rocks and the village is located close to the mine and so

it is rated high as it can affect may people. Explosives by nature have the potential for

the most serious and catastrophic accident. Planning of round of shots, holes correctly

drilled, direction logged, weight of explosive suitable for good fragmentation are the

few of the steps necessary to ensure its safe use and if the shots are not properly

designed can result in misfires, early ignition and flying rocks. No person is allowed to

use explosives without being properly trained in its handling. In the mine a large

numbers of heavy vehicles were in operation and the roads were not proper for

haulage purpose. The haulage roads were not even and were not wide enough for the

crossing purpose and hence the chances of hazards are very high. The main hazards

arising from the use large earth moving vehicles are incompetent drivers, brake

failure, lack of all-around visibility from the driver position, vehicle movements

particularly reversing, roll over, and maintenance. Those most at risk are the driver

and pedestrians likely to be struck by the vehicle, and drivers of smaller vehicles,

which cannot be seen from the cabs of large vehicles. Edge protection is always

necessary to prevent inadvertent movement over the edge of roadway or a bench.

Seatbelt will protect driver in case of roll. Good maintenance and regular testing are

necessary to reduce the possibility of brake failure. Access to the vehicles should

always be restricted to those people necessary for the work in hand. The use of

personal protective equipment and proper arrangements is essential to check if the

person is wearing protective equipment or not. The personal protective equipment

includes helmet, non-skid safety boots, safety glasses, earmuffs etc. The required

personal protective equipment should be provided and used in a manner that protects

the individual from injury. Few minor injuries which can be prevented are slip, trip, or

fall hazards; hazards due to rock falls and collapse of unstable rocks, atmosphere

containing toxic or combustible gases; protects from chemical or hazardous material

etc. A disaster management plan should be prepared for taking care of for any

disaster. Other risks which are included in this category are noise, as it occurs and it

can lead to permanent disability. There are problems related to road traffic in and out

issuers; inappropriate exposure of moving machines; mechanical failure and because

of large number of moving trucks and dumpers there is large quantity of dust present

in roadways which affects the operators and can lead to accidents causing injury.

They are in acceptable range because of precautions measures taken but no step is

taken it can cause hazard hence steps should be taken to reduce the hazards such as

for dust suppression system should be installed. Other problems like occurrence of

lots of mosquitoes in the area due to unhygienic conditions which affect the human

health causing malaria, dengue etc. and causing a person to be hospitalized.

Disaster in the mines like fires, explosions, entrapments, and inundations can occur

any time, so emergency preparedness is a must. The Disaster management plan and

risk assessment in the mines will include all sorts of above mentioned emergency and

the extent that this plan will be implemented will depend on the nature and scope of

the emergency. The basic purpose of Disaster management plan and risk assessment

to ensure that mine rescue and recovery activities are conducted safely for rescuer

and survivors. According to MMR act 1961 a standard operating procedure should be

drawn for involvement different category of staff and officers. The SOP should be

updated periodically to reduce the chaos and response to the emergency should be

quick and smooth. The responsible person should be familiar with his responsibility

during the mock drills. One or two standby should be there to replace the person in

Emergency situation. Rescue operations should not include the survivors for any

assistance.

First Information of Disaster / Emergency should go to the attendance clerk on duty.

Duties of attendance Clerk (Emergency Siren) the attendance clerk or other

designated person should on getting information of major accident, sound a hooter or

a siren immediately declaring a state of emergency at the mine and then to contact

the manager and on his advice to call key personnel using the information listed in the

Emergency Organization Chart. It is important that all telephone calls are recorded in

a telephone log book. Duties of Other Officials should be displayed and handed over

to all concerned. Copy the same should be kept at Manager’s Office for ready

reference. Establishment of Control Room at Unit Level, Area Level and Company

Level is essential. Control Room should keep the contact information about –

Company Manager

Company owner/ Administrative officer.

Attendance roaster and duty charge register should be properly maintained so the

record of missing people can be obtained.

25. DETAILS OF THE OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH ISSUE IN THE DISTRICT:

The persons employed in the mines are exposed to a number of hazards at work

which adversely affect their health. Some of the important ones are dust, noise, heat,

humidity, vibration etc. In recent times, there has been increasing awareness among

mining industry and the workers about occupational diseases like Pneumoconiosis,

Silicosis, Tuberculosis, Hearing Impairment etc. caused by exposure to health hazards

at work. Almost all occupational diseases can be prevented by adopting proper

occupational health measures and engineering control on airborne dust pollution at

workplace. Occupational Diseases in mines or industry is required to conduct medical

examinations and health surveillance of workers as per the provisions of Mines Act.

The present efforts of mines management are concentrated on detection of silicosis,

Pneumoconiosis and other notified diseases. The essential features of health

surveillance programme required to be carried out in mines are:

(a) Initial Medical Examination of persons to be conducted at the time of

appointment.

(b) Periodic Medical Examination or General physical examination to be conducted

once in every year.

(c) Maintenance of medical records and health services till the person is in service.

26. PLANTATION GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT IN RESPECT OF LEASE

ALREADY GRANTED IN THE DISTRICT:

During mining operation green belt development through plantation is most important

for environment safe guard, which should be supervision by mining department.

Different type of species should be planted near lease periphery to keep environment

clean at post mining period through reclamation. Where specific usefulness of land

could be decided, a forestation is normally planned through the site could have been

considered for better possibilities of land use.

27. CONCLUSION:

Since it is an interim report, to meet the requirement of minerals in the present

scenario, it is proposed to identify such potential areas at certain interval and get the

data bank of DSR to be updated. The insitu mining activity in any area is on one hand

bring revenue and employment (Direct and indirect) and on other hand if not done

properly potential pollution and ecological imbalance increases, the ability of the

ecosystem can also be reduced. Particulate matter transported by the wind as a result

of excavations, blasting, transportation of materials, heavy equipments used raise

these particulate levels; and Gas emissions from the combustion of fuels in stationary

and mobile sources, explosions, and mineral processing. All these activities indirectly

affected the biodiversity of area. Larger potential and smaller areas have been

identified in Mayurbhanj district on the basis of geological study carried out during

field observation, which can be considered for mining concession after all the

parameters for statutory clearances are verified by consulting with concerned

authorities.

encountered in the district are Granite Gneiss, Quartzite, Orthoquartzite, Arkose,

Shale, Phyllite, Gabbro, Px-granite. The geology of the district is constituted by the

Similipal complex at its central part belonging the Archaean age, unconformably lying

over Singhbhum Granite and Banded Iron Formation (BIF). It consists of three

alternate bands of volcano sedimentary units uniquely disposed in a ring like circular

pattern formed under sub- marine conditions. Baripada Beds outcrops of tertiary

formation occur around Baripada town. These comprise stratified clay and sand with

marly clay or limestone interbands. Important mineral resources include iron, copper,

itanium, vanadium, chinaclay, nickel, kyanite ,quartz, talc, steatite ,soapstone and

bauxite.

4.1 Physiography & Geomorphology:

Mayurbhanj district presents diverse physiographic features, Physiographically the

study area can be divided into 3 categories. The first physiographic unit of the district

is high mountain ranges, Similipal Complex being at its central part (Figure 1). The

mountain ranges comprise mainly of highland plateau and valleys with intrusive

running through them. The second physiographic unit is Tertiary Plain occurring in the

eastern part of the district. The third physiographic unit is Alluvial Plain which lies

partly in Rasgobindpur, Morada, Samakhunta, Betnoti, Baripada, Badasahi and

Suliapada Blocks. The highest elevation of about 559m at Bahalda near Similpal hill

and higher elevations of the district, due to scarp landforms some waterfalls are

observed in the district. The general slope of the district is from north to south.

Geologically the area is comprised with Archean granites and gneisses.

Geomorphologically the district is divided into 3 units:

i) The denudational hills with moderate to high slope occurring in the western part of

the district.

ii) Dissected pediments having gentle slope.

4.3 Mineral Resources:

The earliest known geological survey in Mayurbhanj dates back to 1903, when P.N.

Bose brought to light the extensive iron-ore deposits of high quantity on the

Gorumahisani and Suleipat hills in Bamanghaty Sub-Division. These deposits were

considered to be almost inexhaustible and were pronounced to be of excellent quality,

perhaps second to none in the whole of Asia by the famous American and English

experts like M/s Perin, Weld and Colonel Staddart, who visited these deposits during

1905-06. This discovery was a momentous one as the steel plant of the Tata Iron &

Steel Co. at Jamshedpur was entirely based on the exploitation of these deposits. By

1915, important discoveries of Steatite near Lulung and placer gold from the sands of

Subarnarekha, Kharkhai and Barhai rivers had been made. The placer gold deposits

were being worked by M/s J.B. Bettie of Calcutta, Mr. V.G. Piggot of Ghatsila and the

Mayurbhanj Prospecting Concession Syndicate.

Gold: The mid-Archaean Gorumahisani-Badampahar schist belt composed of basic

ultrabasic, volcanic rocks and volcanogenic sediments. This belt has been

prognosticated as a rift-type of volcanic dominated one and is highly potential for

economic grade gold mineralization. Likely targets include: a) auriferous quartz veins

close to the contact of sulphide chert volcanics, b) sheared and sulphidised Fe-rich

tholeiite with anomalous copper, c) epigenetic vein type of mineralization and BIF

volcanic association, and d) sulphidic conglomerate resting over the basic volcanics.

Placer gold occurrence are known from rivers and stream of Mayurbhanj district. An

area of about 5 square kilometers of alluvium at the headwaters of Sapgora and Borai

rivers near Kudersai was indicated as promising.

Iron: Bose discovered iron ore deposits in Gorumahisani and Badampahar in the east

while princely state of Mayurbhanj (now Mayurbhanj District). Gorumahisani deposits

were investigated by Perin & Weld (1905). Gorumahisani- Badampahar-Suleipat

deposits are associated with banded hematite / magnetite grunerite and BHJ.

Vanadium Ores & Titanium: Vanadium is an important alloying element. Magnetite

associated with gabbro- anorthosite suite of rocks contain vanadium and titanium.

Deposits of vanadium-magnetite occur in association with gabbro-Anorthosite suite of

rocks in the precambrian metamorphites. Vanadium bearing magnetite belts are :-

(a) Rairangpur – Bisoi belt (Kumardubi, Betjharan Amdabeda)

(b) Bisoi – Joshipur belt (Mayurbeka, Kesham, Sialnoi)

(c) Baripada – Podadiha belt (Andipur, Bahalda)

Pyrophyllite : is mainly used as a high grade ceramic product, electric insulator and

refractory material. The comp. is Al2O34SiO2 H20. It is formed as an alteration product

of feldspar. Pyrophyllite occurrences are reported at Kankrani, Jashipur,

Gorumahisani, Bangriposhi and Manada in Mayurbhanj dist. Ichinda, Khairakocha,

Jamukunda, Nakulkocha, Kapadiha, Dunguridiha, Maheshpur, Kashidiha, Sagragora

and Pokpoka. Dimension stone of the district are granite, granite-gneiss, migmatites,

syenite, gabbro, anorthosite, charnockite, leptynite, pyroxene granulite, dolerite,

pyroxinite and dunite etc.

Bauxite: In Similipal complex (Mayurbhanj) aluminous laterite/ Bauxite are observed

around 1000 m AMSL. The spongy aluminous laterite/bauxite occurs as sheets and

boulders occupying the flat-topped hills made up of metavolcanics. Both

ultramafics and metavolcanics are lateritised giving rise to nickeliferous laterite and

aluminous laterite respectively.

China Clay is clay like material approximating the mineral Kaolinite (Al2O3, 2SIO2,

2H2O). China clay is found to occur in a long belt stretching from Singhbhum to

Mayurbhanj. Badampahar-Joshipur- Karanjia – Ramachandrapur belt is the most

important china-clay producing area of the state. The important deposits in

Mayurbhanj district are found near Joshipur, Chanchbani, Dumuria, Jamda, Kodadiha,

Jamkeswar and Thakurmunda. China clay has many industrial applications as filler in

paper, textile, rubber, in the manufacture of potteries, ceramics, sanitary wares,

glazed tiles, white cement, insecticides, paints, cosmetics, refractory bricks etc. Soap

stone and Steatite Asbestos is mined from Mayurbhanj area.

5.1 River System

The Budhabalanga River (also called Balanga River) flows through the districts

of Mayurbhanj & Balasore and finally reached Bay of Bengal. The Budhabalanga, rises

from Similipal hills and plunges through Barehipani Falls, the second-highest waterfall

in India, located in Similipal National Park. It then flows in a northerly direction up to

the village Karanjiapal in Bangiriposi police-station. Thereafter, it turns to the north-

east and flows along the railway track up to the village Jhankapahadi. There it

changes its course to the south and meets the Katra nala. The other tributaries are

the Palpala and the Chipat both of which are hill streams rising from the Similipal hills.

Then the river passes through Baripada. It later flows through Balasore district and

into the Bay of Bengal. The Budhabalanga is about 175 kilometres (109 mi) long and

has a total catchment area of 4,840 square kilometres (1,870 sq mi). Its major

tributaries are the Sona, Gangahar, and the Katra. Burhabalang and its tributaries, viz.

Sona Nadi, Amrutia Nadi, Gangahar Nadi drain almost round the year in the present

area. Sona Nadi receives the watery effluent load through a nalah (Sankh nalah) from

the Balgopalpur Industrial Estate and flows from west to east. Amrutia Nadi flows

from NNW to SSE and carries the waste water load of East Coast. Subarnrekha

originate from Nagri of Jharkhand and then enter into Mayurbhanj district, very less

portion of the river flows within Mayurbhanj district, Major portion of Subarnarekha

River passes in the Balasore district. Another river Jambhira runs in Mayurbhanj

district then enters into Balasore district and Renamed as river Jalaka flows into Bay

of Bengal. Other small rivers run in this district like River Khadkhai originates from

Tunhgru R.F. and plunges through Suleipat Dam (Khadkhai Reserviour). It then runs

towards Rairangpur, Bahalda, Tiringi area of western direction of Mayurbhanj district

and finally reached at River Subarnarekha. River Deo rises from Similipal R.F. and

runs towards western part of the district and flows through Karanjia area and then

joins with Baitarani River. River Khairabandhan originates from Similipal R.F. and

flows towards western part of the Mayurbhanj district through Jashipur, Raruan,

Sukruli area of district and then joins with River Baitarani This river maintains a

sluggish flow in the pre-monsoon period, but swells menacingly with the onset of

monsoon often flooding large tracts. Another small tributary named as Kanhu starts

from River Khadkhai and branched into Jalapa, Ghagera nala meets at Jharbeda area

of Mayurbhanj District.

6.2 Agriculture Land:

Mayurbhanj is surrounded by no of forest areas as well as Rocky Mountains. People

used to cultivate Paddy in most parts of the hill slopes and in plain lands. Most of the

cultivators grow short duration local paddy in the un-bonded upland during Kharif

season. The crop suffers moisture stress at different stages due to inadequate rainfall.

The primary objective of Agriculture Department is increase of production as well as

productivity of major crops like paddy, groundnut, mustard, Mung, Biri & vegetables

which is widely covered in this District in both Kharif & Rabi season. Another key

objective is the all round development of the farming community of the District. The

Deputy Director of Agriculture is the head of office so far as agriculture is concerned &

he is the Principal Agriculture Officer of the District. Under him there are 5 District

Agriculture Officers & the block under them. As already pointed out, that agriculture is

the main livelihood of the people in Mayurbhanj District. It is therefore also

designated as the food bowl of Odisha. Rice is the principal crop grown in this district,

followed by other cereals, pulses, oilseeds, vegetables, spices and sugarcane. The

agricultural statistics for the district is shown in subsequent tables below:

6.3 Horticulture Land:

The primary objective of Horticulture Department is increase of production as well as

productivity of major fruits like Mango, Guava, Citrus etc., which is widely covered in

this District. Another key objective is the all round development of the farming

community of the District. The Deputy Director of Horticulture is the head of office.

7.0 SURFACE WATER AND GROUND WATER SCENARIO OF THE DISTRICT

7.1 Hydrogeology

Distribution of Saline / fresh water aquifers:

The occurrence of fresh water aquifers in coastal tract of Mayurbhanj restricted by

two important factors‐ (i) Occurrence of hard rocks in the western side and (ii) Salinity

hazard problems in the eastern part. The water bearing formation of the area can be

divided into (a) areas underlain by fractured, fissured and consolidated basement rock

formations (b) areas underlain by recent unconsolidated alluvial formations.

(a) Consolidated Formation - These are most predominant rock types occurring in

the undulating plains of the district. Groundwater occurs under unconfined condition

in the shallow weathered zone and circulates through fractures and joints. The

thickness of the weathered zone varies from 3 to 35 m. Depth of open wells in these

formations varies from 5 to 14 m below ground level.

(b) Unconsolidated alluvial formations - The unconsolidated formations consists of

laterite and alluvium. Laterites at places are highly consolidated and used as building

stones. The laterites have high degree of effective porosity and form potential

aquifers commonly tapped in dug wells. The alluvium comprises an admixture of clay,

silt, sand and calcareous concretions in varying proportions. The coarse sediments like

sand and gravel form the main repository of ground water. Ground water occurs

under both unconfined condition in shallow aquifers and in confined condition in

deeper parts.

7.2 Depth of water level:

The depth to water level map for pre and post monsoon periods 2011 are prepared

based on the ground water monitoring data of 77 Nos of National Hydrograph

MOORUM MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

26

Stations of C.G.W.B. monitored during the month of April and November 2006 are

presented below respectively . The pre and post monsoon depth to water levels in the

district range from 3.54 to 14.50 m below ground level and 1.39 to 8.20 m below

ground level respectively. It is observed that during pre monsoon about 75% of the

total areas show the water level varying between 5 to 10 m below ground level.

During post monsoon nearly 60% of the area has water levels within 2 to 5 m,

while the rest part has between 0 to 2 and 4 to 6 m below ground levels. In localized

part of Morada, Kaptipada and Thakurmunda the water level is > 5 mt.

7.3 Ground Water Quality

The chemical quality of ground water in the district has been assessed on the basis of

chemical analysis of ground water samples collected during groundwater monitoring,

Hydrogeological surveys and groundwater exploration. The results of the chemical

analysis are presented in Table.

7.4 Ground Water Development

In the rural areas the entire water supply is dependent on ground water. Ground

water development is mainly carried out in the district through dug wells and Hand

pumps. In general dug wells are of 2 m diameter and the depth ranges between 8 to

15 m depending on the thickness of the weathered zone, tapping the shallow aquifer

in the weathered zone and uppermost slice of the basement. Large number of dug

wells used for drinking water is under private ownership for which there is no reliable

data. Over the years Mark II/ Mark III hand pumps are being drilled in large numbers

for ground water development. These hand pumps have the following two major

advantages i) less susceptible to contamination from surface sources and ii) tap

fractures between 20-60m depth which have been found to be less affected by

seasonal water level fluctuation and thus have lesser chances of failure even during

extreme summer. Over all the present level of ground water development is only

27.21 percent in the district with the maximum in Badasahi Block viz. 64.65% and

minimum in Bijatala Block. Block wise development figure indicate that all the blocks

come under the white categories. Thus there is ample scope for development of

groundwater in the district to augment irrigation potentials through suitable ground

water abstraction structure.

7.5 Ground Water Related Issue and Problems

Some of key ground water related issues are

I. Locating suitable sites for bore wells

II. Suitable design of dug wells and hand pumps

III. Taking up artificial recharge projects to augment the resource availability in

Mayurbhanj district.

IV. Optimal development of irrigation potential by developing ground water available

for future uses.

V. Creating public awareness for conserving ground water through awareness

camps, NGO’s and mass media.

7.8 RECOMMENDATIONS

1) Intensive groundwater exploration should be taken up to delineate deeper

potential water saturated fracture zones and to compute aquifer parameter.

2) Large scale planning for ground water development should be preceded by

intensive hydrogeological and geophysical surveys aided by remote sensing

studies.

3) Effective measures may be taken to conserve the surface run off by contour

bonding at suitable sites. Also proper maintenance of reservoir, tanks and spring

channels by periodical disiltation should be carried out.

4) Existing dug-wells should be deepened to tap the maximum saturated thickness of

the weathered mantle or vertical bores may be drilled through the bottom to

enhance the well yield.

5) Energy station of wells already constructed should be stepped up to ensure

optimal utilization of the irrigation potential already created.

6) The farmers should be educated through agricultural extension services from

adopting suitable cropping pattern for optimal utilization of available groundwater

MOORUM MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

30

resources.

7) Programmes for artificial recharge may also be taken up for augmentation of

groundwater through construction of percolation tanks, subsurface dykes, and

check dams and through contour bonding etc.

8) An intensive network of groundwater monitoring stations are required to be

established in the command areas of irrigation projects to monitor the changes in

groundwater regime consequent on application of surface water irrigation.

15. QUALITY/GRADE OF MINERAL AVAILABLE IN THE DISTRICT:

Rocks and Minerals found in Mayurbhanj District:-

The district is endowed with various types of mineral resources like Iron ore, China

Clay, Quartz, Soap stone, Granite, Manganese, etc. Due to presence of huge

mineral resources, mining activities have been undertaken in a big scale. Bahalda,

Jashipur, Karanjia, Koshorpur, Bisoi, Gorumahisani and Rairangpur are the places in

the district having deposits of the above mineral products. The availability of

mineral deposits is given in the table below. The district’s mineral deposits have not

been utilized to maximum extent for industrial purpose. Some of the items like

China clay, Soap stone, Asbestos, etc. can be used in small scale sector. So the

available resources of the district need harnessing properly for industrial and

productive use. Moorum deposit of the district is very much suitable for various

road construction purposes.

16. USE OF MINERAL

Uses of Moorum:

Moorum of the district is very much suitable for road construction purposes. It is used

as a sub base and base material in road and highway construction.

17. DEMAND AND SUPPLY OF THE MINERAL IN THE LAST THREE YEARS:

As such there are huge infrastructural activities such as road, building, railways are

coming up by Govt. of India & PSUs under “Make in India” programme. The Granitic

MOORUM MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

37

rocks are the main raw minerals for the above activities and considering the last three

years’ actual production of Mayurbhanj with respect to the requirement of the state

has a huge gap. It is proposed to start the stone production from larger block/area to

at least double the production of the district which will enhance the revenue of the

district and also support the livelihood of the local people.

18. MAP OF EXISTING MINING LEASES IN THE DISTRICT:

Enclosed as Plate-I

19. DETAILS OF THE AREA OF WHERE THERE IS A CLUSTER OF MINING

LEASE VIZ. NUMBER OF MINING LEASES, LOCATION (LATITUDE AND

LONGITUDE)

Currently there are two such clusters of mining leases in Kaptipada area of the district

(Enclosed as Annexure-II). However, it is proposed to consider the cluster of mining

lease while planning for new lease area in coming years.

20. DETAILS OF ECO-SENSITIVE AREA, IF ANY, IN THE DISTRICT:

Eco sensitive zone of Similipal wild life sanctuary is located within the district.

21. IMPACTS OF MINING ON ENVIRONMENT:

The most important environmental impact of mining projects is:-

Transportation sources:

Transportation sources of air pollutants include heavy vehicles used in excavation

operations, cars that transport personnel at the mining site, and trucks that transport

mining materials. The level of polluting emissions from these sources depends on the

fuel and conditions of the equipment. Even though individual emissions can be

relatively small, collectively these emissions can be of real concern. In addition,

mobile sources are a major source of particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and volatile

organic compounds that contribute significantly to the formation of ground-level ozone

Fugitive emissions:

Common sources of fugitive emissions include: storage and handling of materials;

mine processing; fugitive dust, blasting, construction activities, and roadways

MOORUM MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

38

associated with mining activities; leach pads, and tailing piles and ponds; and waste

rock piles. Sources and characteristics of fugitive emissions dust in mining operations

vary in each case, as do their impacts. Impacts are difficult to predict and calculate

but should be considered since they could be a significant source of hazardous air

pollutants.

Noise and vibration:

Noise pollution associated with mining may include noise from vehicle engines,

loading and unloading of rock into steel dumpers, chutes, power generation, and

other sources. Cumulative impacts of shoveling, ripping, drilling, blasting, transport,

crushing, grinding, and stock-piling can significantly affect wildlife and nearby

residents.

Vibrations are associated with many types of equipment used in mining operations,

but blasting is considered the major source. Vibration has affected the stability of

infrastructures, buildings, and homes of people living near large-scale open-pit mining

operations. According to a study commissioned by the European Union in 2000:

“Shocks and vibrations as a result of blasting in connection with mining can lead to

noise, dust and collapse of structures in surrounding inhabited areas. The animal life,

on which the local population may depend, might also be disturbed.”

22. REMEDIAL MEASURES TO MITIGATE THE IMPACT OF MINING ON THE

ENVIRONMENT:

1. Following are the remedial measures to mitigate the in Water sprinkling on haul

road, loading and unloading points.

2. Plantation along the safety zone and dump area.

3. Providing dust masks to workers.

4. Regular monitoring of ambient air quality.

5. Provision of air conditioned cabin of Excavators and Dumpers.

6. Regular and proper maintenance of working equipments.

7. Periodic medical examination of the workers and organize medical camp in the area.

8. Use Milli Second Delay Detonator in blasting operation.

9. Provisions of ear plug to the workers.

MOORUM MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

39

10. Regular training programme to the mines workers and operators.

23. RECLAMATION OF MINED OUT AREA

Necessity of Reclamation & Rehabilitation:

Exponential growth in mineral production since 1980.

Mining activities causes physical, chemical, biological and socio-economic changes in

the area.

Surface mining activities disturb the original land profile.

In India, mineral production comes mostly from opencast mines & hence land

degradation problems are of serious concern.

An intricate, in-depth and site-specified techniques involving integrated approach is

necessary.

Reclamation has three vital roles:

i. Reclamation – Reclamation means return the mined-out land with useful life. It

implies restoring the land to a form and productivity that is useful and inconformity

with a prior land use. Reclamation always may not be a single- phase operation.

ii. Rehabilitation – Rehabilitation is to bring batch the degraded land to a normal

stage by a special treatment. It is a process of taking some mitigation measures for

disturbed environmental condition created through mining activities.

iii. Restoration – Restoration is the process of returning the mined out land being

fit to an acceptable environmental condition. However, the general acceptable

meaning of the term is bringing the disturbed land to its original form. Restoration is

often used to indicate that biological properties of soil are put back to what they were.

This is a rate phenomenon.

iv. When active mining ceases, mine facilities and the site are reclaimed and closed.

The goal of mine site reclamation and closure should always be to return the site to a

condition that most resembles the pre-mining condition. Mines that are notorious for

their immense impact on the environment often made impacts only during the closure

phase, when active mining operations ceased. These impacts can persist for decades

and even centuries.

Mine reclamation and closure plans must describe in sufficient detail how the mining

company will restore the site to a condition that most resembles pre-mining

MOORUM MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

40

environmental quality; how it will prevent – in perpetuity – the release of toxic

contaminants from various mine facilities (such as abandoned open pits and tailings

impoundments); and how funds will be set aside to insure that the costs of

reclamation and closure will be paid for.

Proposed future land use after reclamation:

a. Forestry, b. Recreation, c. Water Reservoir, d. Crop Land,

e. residential/Commercial, f. Fish & wildlife Habitat, g. Undeveloped Land,

h. Grazing/Pasture Land

Statutory requirement:

As per the Mineral Conservation Development Rule, 2017, the following rules must be

bare in mind by the mine owner/agent/manager, which is a part of reclamation

activities –

Rule 22, Mine Closure Plan

Rule 23, Submission of Progressive Mine Closure Plan Rule 24, Submission of Final

Mine Closure Plan

Rule 26, Responsibility of holder of mining lease Rule 27, Financial Assurance

Rule 35, Sustainable Mining

24. RISK ASSESSMENT AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN:

Mining activity because of the very nature of the operation, complexity of the

systems, procedures and methods always involves some amount of hazards. Hazard

identification and risk analysis is carried for identification of undesirable events that

can leads to a hazard, the analysis of hazard mechanism by which this undesirable

event could occur and usually the estimation of extent, magnitude and likelihood of

harmful effects. The activities which can cause high risk related to face stability and

the person blasting the shots. It was observed that on a working face of the mine,

there were large cracks and unsupported rocks were present, which can lead to a

serious hazard and injure workers engaged in loading operation and machineries

because of rock falls or slides. This type of condition turn out because improper

dressing of the bench and improper supervision. To avoid the hazards due to fall of

rocks the face must be examined, made suitable for working and the remedial

measures must be taken to make it safe if there is any doubt that a collapse could

take place. Working of the face should be in the direction taking into account the

MOORUM MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

41

geology of the area such that face and quarry side remain stable. Another major risk

identified in mines is due to the firing of explosive by an unqualified person. In the

mines there is problem of fly rocks and the village is located close to the mine and so

it is rated high as it can affect may people. Explosives by nature have the potential for

the most serious and catastrophic accident. Planning of round of shots, holes correctly

drilled, direction logged, weight of explosive suitable for good fragmentation are the

few of the steps necessary to ensure its safe use and if the shots are not properly

designed can result in misfires, early ignition and flying rocks. No person is allowed to

use explosives without being properly trained in its handling. In the mine a large

numbers of heavy vehicles were in operation and the roads were not proper for

haulage purpose. The haulage roads were not even and were not wide enough for the

crossing purpose and hence the chances of hazards are very high. The main hazards

arising from the use large earth moving vehicles are incompetent drivers, brake

failure, lack of all-around visibility from the driver position, vehicle movements

particularly reversing, roll over, and maintenance. Those most at risk are the driver

and pedestrians likely to be struck by the vehicle, and drivers of smaller vehicles,

which cannot be seen from the cabs of large vehicles. Edge protection is always

necessary to prevent inadvertent movement over the edge of roadway or a bench.

Seatbelt will protect driver in case of roll. Good maintenance and regular testing are

necessary to reduce the possibility of brake failure. Access to the vehicles should

always be restricted to those people necessary for the work in hand. The use of

personal protective equipment and proper arrangements is essential to check if the

person is wearing protective equipment or not. The personal protective equipment

includes helmet, non-skid safety boots, safety glasses, earmuffs etc. The required

personal protective equipment should be provided and used in a manner that protects

the individual from injury. Few minor injuries which can be prevented are slip, trip, or

fall hazards; hazards due to rock falls and collapse of unstable rocks, atmosphere

containing toxic or combustible gases; protects from chemical or hazardous material

etc. A disaster management plan should be prepared for taking care of for any

disaster. Other risks which are included in this category are noise, as it occurs and it

can lead to permanent disability. There are problems related to road traffic in and out

issuers; inappropriate exposure of moving machines; mechanical failure and because

MOORUM MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

42

of large number of moving trucks and dumpers there is large quantity of dust present

in roadways which affects the operators and can lead to accidents causing injury.

They are in acceptable range because of precautions measures taken but no step is

taken it can cause hazard hence steps should be taken to reduce the hazards such as

for dust suppression system should be installed. Other problems like occurrence of

lots of mosquitoes in the area due to unhygienic conditions which affect the human

health causing malaria, dengue etc. and causing a person to be hospitalized.

Disaster in the mines like fires, explosions, entrapments, and inundations can occur

any time, so emergency preparedness is a must. The Disaster management plan and

risk assessment in the mines will include all sorts of above mentioned emergency and

the extent that this plan will be implemented will depend on the nature and scope of

the emergency. The basic purpose of Disaster management plan and risk assessment

to ensure that mine rescue and recovery activities are conducted safely for rescuer

and survivors. According to MMR act 1961 a standard operating procedure should be

drawn for involvement different category of staff and officers. The SOP should be

updated periodically to reduce the chaos and response to the emergency should be

quick and smooth. The responsible person should be familiar with his responsibility

during the mock drills. One or two standby should be there to replace the person in

Emergency situation. Rescue operations should not include the survivors for any

assistance.

First Information of Disaster / Emergency should go to the attendance clerk on duty.

Duties of attendance Clerk (Emergency Siren) the attendance clerk or other

designated person should on getting information of major accident, sound a hooter or

a siren immediately declaring a state of emergency at the mine and then to contact

the manager and on his advice to call key personnel using the information listed in the

Emergency Organization Chart. It is important that all telephone calls are recorded in

a telephone log book. Duties of Other Officials should be displayed and handed over

to all concerned. Copy the same should be kept at Manager’s Office for ready

reference. Establishment of Control Room at Unit Level, Area Level and Company

Level is essential. Control Room should keep the contact information about –

25. DETAILS OF THE OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH ISSUE IN THE DISTRICT:

The persons employed in the mines are exposed to a number of hazards at work which adversely affect their health. Some of the important ones are dust, noise, heat, humidity, vibration etc. In recent times, there has been increasing awareness among mining industry and the workers about occupational diseases like Pneumoconiosis, Silicosis, Tuberculosis, Hearing Impairment etc. caused by exposure to health hazards at work. Almost all occupational diseases can be prevented by adopting proper occupational health measures and engineering control on airborne dust pollution at workplace. Occupational Diseases in mines or industry are required to conduct medical examinations and health surveillance of workers as per the provisions of Mines Act. The present efforts of mines management are concentrated on detection of silicosis, Pneumoconiosis and other notified diseases. The essential features of health surveillance programme required to be carried out in mines are:

(a) Initial Medical Examination of persons to be conducted at the time of

appointment.

(b) Periodic Medical Examination or General physical examination to be conducted

once in every year.

(c) Maintenance of medical records and health services till the person is in service.

26. PLANTATION GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT IN RESPECT OF LEASE

ALREADY GRANTED IN THE DISTRICT:

During mining operation green belt development through plantation is most important

for environment safe guard, which should be supervision by mining department.

Different type of species should be planted near lease periphery to keep environment

clean at post mining period through reclamation. Where specific usefulness of land

could be decided, a forestation is normally planned through the site could have been

considered for better possibilities of land use.

27. CONCLUSION:

Since it is an interim report, to meet the requirement of minerals in the present

scenario, it is proposed to identify such potential areas at certain interval and get the

data bank of DSR to be updated. The insitu mining activity in any area is on one hand

bring revenue and employment (Direct and indirect) and on other hand if not done

properly potential pollution and ecological imbalance increases, the ability of the

ecosystem can also be reduced. Particulate matter transported by the wind as a result

of excavations, blasting, transportation of materials, heavy equipments used raise

these particulate levels; and Gas emissions from the combustion of fuels in stationary

and mobile sources, explosions, and mineral processing. All these activities indirectly

affected the biodiversity of area. Larger potential and smaller areas have been

identified in Mayurbhanj district on the basis of geological study carried out during

field observation, which can be considered for mining concession after all the

parameters for statutory clearances are verified by consulting with concerned

authorities.

12

encountered in the district are Granite Gneiss, Quartzite, Orthoquartzite, Arkose,

Shale, Phyllite, Gabbro, Px-granite. The geology of the district is constituted by the

Similipal complex at its central part belonging the Archaean age, unconformably lying

over Singhbhum Granite and Banded Iron Formation (BIF). It consists of three

alternate bands of volcano sedimentary units uniquely disposed in a ring like circular

pattern formed under sub- marine conditions. Baripada Beds outcrops of tertiary

formation occur around Baripada town. These comprise stratified clay and sand with

marly clay or limestone interbands. Important mineral resources include iron, copper,

itanium, vanadium, chinaclay, nickel, kyanite ,quartz, talc, steatite ,soapstone and

bauxite.

4.1 Physiography & Geomorphology:

Mayurbhanj district presents diverse physiographic features, Physiographically the

study area can be divided into 3 categories. The first physiographic unit of the district

is high mountain ranges, Similipal Complex being at its central part (Figure 1). The

mountain ranges comprise mainly of highland plateau and valleys with intrusive

running through them. The second physiographic unit is Tertiary Plain occurring in the

eastern part of the district. The third physiographic unit is Alluvial Plain which lies

partly in Rasgobindpur, Morada, Samakhunta, Betnoti, Baripada, Badasahi and

Suliapada blocks. The highest elevation of about 559m at Bahalda near Similpal hill

and higher elevations of the district, due to scarp landforms some waterfalls are

observed in the district. The general slope of the district is from north to south.

Geologically the area is comprised with Archean granites and gneisses.

Geomorphologically the district is divided into 3 units:

i) The denudational hills with moderate to high slope occurring in the western part of

the district.

ii) Dissected pediments having gentle slope.

4.3 Mineral Resources:

The earliest known geological survey in Mayurbhanj dates back to 1903, when P.N.

Bose brought to light the extensive iron-ore deposits of high quantity on the

Gorumahisani and Suleipat hills in Bamanghaty Sub-Division. These deposits were

considered to be almost inexhaustible and were pronounced to be of excellent quality,

perhaps second to none in the whole of Asia by the famous American and English

experts like M/s Perin, Weld and Colonel Staddart, who visited these deposits during

1905-06. This discovery was a momentous one as the steel plant of the Tata Iron &

Steel Co. at Jamshedpur was entirely based on the exploitation of these deposits. By

1915, important discoveries of Steatite near Lulung and placer gold from the sands of

Subarnarekha, Kharkhai and Barhai rivers had been made. The placer gold deposits

were being worked by M/s J.B. Bettie of Calcutta, Mr. V.G. Piggot of Ghatsila and the

Mayurbhanj Prospecting Concession Syndicate.

Gold: The mid-Archaean Gorumahisani-Badampahar schist belt composed of basic

ultrabasic, volcanic rocks and volcanogenic sediments. This belt has been

prognosticated as a rift-type of volcanic dominated one and is highly potential for

economic grade gold mineralization. Likely targets include: a) auriferous quartz veins

close to the contact of sulphide chert volcanics, b) sheared and sulphidised Fe-rich

tholeiite with anomalous copper, c) epigenetic vein type of mineralization and BIF

volcanic association, and d) sulphidic conglomerate resting over the basic volcanics.

Placer gold occurrence are known from rivers and stream of Mayurbhanj district. An

area of about 5 square kilometers of alluvium at the headwaters of Sapgora and Borai

rivers near Kudersai was indicated as promising.

Iron: Bose discovered iron ore deposits in Gorumahisani and Badampahar in the

eastwhile princely state of Mayurbhanj (now Mayurbhanj District). Gorumahisani

deposits were investigated by Perin & Weld (1905). Gorumahisani- Badampahar-

Suleipat deposits are associated with banded hematite / magnetite grunerite and BHJ.

Vanadium Ores & Titanium: Vanadium is an important alloying element. Magnetite

associated with gabbro- anorthosite suite of rocks contains vanadium and titanium.

Deposits of vanadium-magnetite occur in association with gabbro-Anorthosite suite of

rocks in the precambrian metamorphites. Vanadium bearing magnetite belts are :-

(a) Rairangpur – Bisoi belt (Kumardubi, Betjharan Amdabeda)

(b) Bisoi – Joshipur belt (Mayurbeka, Kesham, Sialnoi)

(c) Baripada – Podadiha belt (Andipur, Bahalda)

Pyrophyllite : is mainly used as a high grade ceramic product, electric insulator and

refractory material. The comp. is Al2O34SiO2 H20. It is formed as an alteration product

of feldspar. Pyrophyllite occurrences are reported at Kankrani, Jashipur,

Gorumahisani, Bangriposhi and Manada in Mayurbhanj dist. Ichinda, Khairakocha,

Jamukunda, Nakulkocha, Kapadiha, Dunguridiha, Maheshpur, Kashidiha, Sagragora

and Pokpoka. Dimension stone of the district are granite, granite-gneiss, migmatites,

syenite, gabbro, anorthosite, charnockite, leptynite, pyroxene granulite, dolerite,

pyroxinite and dunite etc.

Bauxite: In Similipal complex (Mayurbhanj) aluminous laterite/ Bauxite are observed

around 1000 m AMSL. The spongy aluminous laterite/bauxite occurs as sheets and

boulders occupying the flat-topped hills made up of metavolcanics. Both

ultramafics and metavolcanics are lateritised giving rise to nickeliferous laterite and

aluminous laterite respectively.

China Clay is clay like material approximating the mineral Kaolinite (Al2O3, 2SIO2,

2H2O). China clay is found to occur in a long belt stretching from Singhbhum to

Mayurbhanj. Badampahar-Joshipur- Karanjia – Ramachandrapur belt is the most

important china-clay producing area of the state. The important deposits in

Mayurbhanj district are found near Joshipur, Chanchbani, Dumuria, Jamoda,

Kodadiha, Jamkeswar and Thakurmunda. China clay has many industrial applications

as filler in paper, textile, rubber, in the manufacture of potteries, ceramics, sanitary

wares, glazed tiles, white cement, insecticides, paints, cosmetics, refractory bricks etc.

Soap stone and Steatite Asbestos is mined from Mayurbhanj area.

Talc, steatite and soapstone : Important localities of these deposits in Mayurbhanj

dist are Tiring, Kendumundi and Kharidamak.

Kyanite: Kyanite deposits of refractory grade occur in Panijia area of Mayurbhanj

dist, where it is associated with dumortierite bearing rocks, qtz-veins, quartz-mica-

schists and talc-tremolite-schist. Other kyanite occurrence includes Purnapani &

Similipal.

Quartz & Quartzite: Quartz and silica sand are mostly used in glass foundry,

ferrosilicon alloy, ceramic industry, abrasive, paint, rubber, textile industries.

Transparent varieties of quartz such as rock crystal, amethyst, citrine, Rosequartz and

smoky quartz are used as semi-precious gemstone. Quartz is a piezoelectric material

and is used in radio circuit, Radars and ultra-sonic devices. Quartzite is a

monomineralic rock constituted predominantly of quartz. There are 6 mining leases

for quartz and quartzite in Mayurbhanj dist.

High Magnesia rock: are found in Notapahar, Thakurmunda, Amjori and

Badampahar of Mayurbhanj Dist.

5.1 River System

The Budhabalanga River (also called Balanga River) flows through the districts

of Mayurbhanj & Balasore and finally reached Bay of Bengal. The Budhabalanga, rises

from Similipal hills and plunges through Barehipani Falls, the second-highest waterfall

in India, located in Similipal National Park. It then flows in a northerly direction up to

the village Karanjiapal in Bangiriposi police-station. Thereafter, it turns to the north-

east and flows along the railway track up to the village Jhankapahadi. There it

changes its course to the south and meets the Katra nala. The other tributaries are

the Palpala and the Chipat both of which are hill streams rising from the Similipal hills.

Then the river passes through Baripada. It later flows through Balasore district and

into the Bay of Bengal. The Budhabalanga is about 175 kilometres (109 mi) long and

has a total catchment area of 4,840 square kilometres (1,870 sq mi). Its major

tributaries are the Sona, Gangahar, and the Katra. Burhabalang and its tributaries, viz.

LATERITE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

20

Sona Nadi, Amrutia Nadi, Gangahar Nadi drain almost round the year in the present

area. Sona Nadi receives the watery effluent load through a nalah (Sankh nalah) from

the Balgopalpur Industrial Estate and flows from west to east. Amrutia Nadi flows

from NNW to SSE and carries the waste water load of East Coast. Subarnrekha

originate from Nagri of Jharkhand and then enter into Mayurbhanj district, very less

portion of the river flows within Mayurbhanj district, Major portion of Subarnarekha

River passes in the Balasore district. Another river Jambhira runs in Mayurbhanj

district then enters into Balasore district and Renamed as river Jalaka flows into Bay

of Bengal. Other small rivers run in this district like River Khadkhai originates from

Tunhgru R.F. and plunges through Suleipat Dam (Khadkhai Reserviour). It then runs

towards Rairangpur, Bahalda, Tiringi area of western direction of Mayurbhanj district

and finally reached at River Subarnarekha. River Deo rises from Similipal R.F. and

runs towards western part of the district and flows through Karanjia area and then

joins with Baitarani River. River Khairabandhan originates from Similipal R.F. and

flows towards western part of the Mayurbhanj district through Jashipur, Raruan,

Sukruli area of district and then joins with River Baitarani This river maintains a

sluggish flow in the pre-monsoon period, but swells menacingly with the onset of

monsoon often flooding large tracts. Another small tributary named as Kanhu starts

from River Khadkhai and branched into Jalapa, Ghagera nala meets at Jharbeda area

of Mayurbhanj District.

6.2 Agriculture Land:

Mayurbhanj is surrounded by no of forest areas as well as Rocky Mountains. People

used to cultivate Paddy in most parts of the hill slopes and in plain lands. Most of the

cultivators grow short duration local paddy in the un-bonded upland during Kharif

season. The crop suffers moisture stress at different stages due to inadequate rainfall.

The primary objective of Agriculture Department is increase of production as well as

productivity of major crops like paddy, groundnut, mustard, Mung, Biri & vegetables

which is widely covered in this District in both Kharif & Rabi season. Another key

objective is the all round development of the farming community of the District. The

Deputy Director of Agriculture is the head of office so far as agriculture is concerned &

he is the Principal Agriculture Officer of the District. Under him there are 5 District

Agriculture Officers & the block under them. As already pointed out, that agriculture is

the main livelihood of the people in Mayurbhanj District. It is therefore also

designated as the food bowl of Odisha. Rice is the principal crop grown in this district,

followed by other cereals, pulses, oilseeds, vegetables, spices and sugarcane. The

agricultural statistics for the district is shown in subsequent tables below:

6.3 Horticulture Land:

The primary objective of Horticulture Department is increase of production as well as

productivity of major fruits like Mango, Guava, Citrus etc., which is widely covered in

this District. Another key objective is the all round development of the farming

community of the District. The Deputy Director of Horticulture is the head of office.

7.0 SURFACE WATER AND GROUND WATER SCENARIO OF THE DISTRICT

7.1 Hydrogeology

Distribution of Saline / fresh water aquifers:

The occurrence of fresh water aquifers in coastal tract of Mayurbhanj restricted by

two important factors‐ (i) Occurrence of hard rocks in the western side and (ii) Salinity

hazard problems in the eastern part. The water bearing formation of the area can be

divided into (a) areas underlain by fractured, fissured and consolidated basement rock

formations (b) areas underlain by recent unconsolidated alluvial formations.

(a) Consolidated Formation - These are most predominant rock types occurring in

the undulating plains of the district. Groundwater occurs under unconfined condition

in the shallow weathered zone and circulates through fractures and joints. The

thickness of the weathered zone varies from 3 to 35 m. Depth of open wells in these

formations varies from 5 to 14 m below ground level.

(b) Unconsolidated alluvial formations - The unconsolidated formations consists of

laterite and alluvium. Laterites at places are highly consolidated and used as building

stones. The laterites have high degree of effective porosity and form potential

aquifers commonly tapped in dug wells. The alluvium comprises an admixture of clay,

silt, sand and calcareous concretions in varying proportions. The coarse sediments like

sand and gravel form the main repository of ground water. Ground water occurs

under both unconfined condition in shallow aquifers and in confined condition in

deeper parts.

7.2 Depth of water level:

The depth to water level map for pre and post monsoon periods 2011 are prepared

based on the ground water monitoring data of 77 Nos of National Hydrograph

Stations of C.G.W.B. monitored during the month of April and November 2006 are

presented below respectively. The pre and post monsoon depth to water levels in the

district range from 3.54 to 14.50 m below ground level and 1.39 to 8.20 m below

ground level respectively. It is observed that during pre monsoon about 75% of the

total areas show the water level varying between 5 to 10 m below ground level.

During post monsoon nearly 60% of the area has water levels within 2 to 5 m,

while the rest part has between 0 to 2 and 4 to 6 m below ground levels. In localized

part of Morada, Kaptipada and Thakurmunda the water level is > 5 mt.

7.3 Ground Water Quality

The chemical quality of ground water in the district has been assessed on the basis of

chemical analysis of ground water samples collected during groundwater monitoring,

Hydrogeological surveys and groundwater exploration. The results of the chemical

analysis are presented in Table.

7.4 Ground Water Development

In the rural areas the entire water supply is dependent on ground water. Ground

water development is mainly carried out in the district through dug wells and Hand

pumps. In general dug wells are of 2 m diameter and the depth ranges between 8 to

15 m depending on the thickness of the weathered zone, tapping the shallow aquifer

in the weathered zone and uppermost slice of the basement. Large number of dug

wells used for drinking water is under private ownership for which there is no reliable

data. Over the years Mark II/ Mark III hand pumps are being drilled in large numbers

for ground water development. These hand pumps have the following two major

advantages i) less susceptible to contamination from surface sources and ii) tap

fractures between 20-60m depth which have been found to be less affected by

seasonal water level fluctuation and thus have lesser chances of failure even during

extreme summer. Over all the present level of ground water development is only

27.21 percent in the district with the maximum in Badasahi block viz. 64.65% and

minimum in Bijatala Block. Block wise development figure indicate that all the blocks

come under the white categories. Thus there is ample scope for development of

groundwater in the district to augment irrigation potentials through suitable ground

water abstraction structure

7.5 Ground Water Related Issue and Problems

Some of key ground water related issues are

I. Locating suitable sites for bore wells

II. Suitable design of dug wells and hand pumps

III. Taking up artificial recharge projects to augment the resource availability in

IV. Optimal development of irrigation potential by developing ground water available

for future uses.

V. Creating public awareness for conserving ground water through awareness

camps, NGO’s and mass media.

7.8 RECOMMENDATIONS:

1) Intensive groundwater exploration should be taken up to delineate deeper

potential water saturated fracture zones and to compute aquifer parameter.

2) Large scale planning for ground water development should be preceded by

intensive hydrogeological and geophysical surveys aided by remote sensing

studies.

3) Effective measures may be taken to conserve the surface run off by contour

bonding at suitable sites. Also proper maintenance of reservoir, tanks and spring

channels by periodical disiltation should be carried out.

4) Existing dug-wells should be deepened to tap the maximum saturated thickness of

the weathered mantle or vertical bores may be drilled through the bottom to

enhance the well yield.

5) Energy station of wells already constructed should be stepped up to ensure

optimal utilization of the irrigation potential already created.

6) The farmers should be educated through agricultural extension services from

adopting suitable cropping pattern for optimal utilization of available groundwater

resources.

7) Programmes for artificial recharge may also be taken up for augmentation of

groundwater through construction of percolation tanks, subsurface dykes, and

check dams and through contour bonding etc.

LATERITE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

8) An intensive network of groundwater monitoring stations are required to be

established in the command areas of irrigation projects to monitor the changes in

groundwater regime consequent on application of surface water irrigation.

15. QUALITY/GRADE OF MINERAL AVAILABLE IN THE DISTRICT:

Rocks and Minerals found in Mayurbhanj District:-

The district is endowed with various types of mineral resources like Iron ore, China

Clay, Quartz, Soap stone, Granite, Manganese, etc. Due to presence of huge

mineral resources, mining activities have been undertaken in a big scale. Bahalda,

Jashipur, Karanjia, Koshorpur, Bisoi, Gorumahisani and Rairangpur are the places in

the district having deposits of the above mineral products. The availability of

mineral deposits is given in the table below. The district’s mineral deposits have not

been utilized to maximum extent for industrial purpose. Some of the items like

China clay, Soap stone, Asbestos, etc. can be used in small scale sector. So the

available resources of the district need harnessing properly for industrial and

productive use. Road metal/Building stone of the district are very much suitable for

various construction purposes after crushing and screening. The laterite slabs are

used in wall of construction.

16. USE OF MINERAL

Uses of laterite:

Laterite slabs have been extensively used as a dimension stone for construction

of wall of house and construction of various infrastructures in public and commercial

buildings and monuments.

17. DEMAND AND SUPPLY OF THE MINERAL IN THE LAST THREE YEARS:

As such there are huge infrastructural activities such as road, building, railways are

coming up by Govt. of India & PSUs under “Make in India” programme. The Granitic

rocks are the main raw minerals for the above activities and considering the last three

years’ actual production of Mayurbhanj with respect to the requirement of the state

has a huge gap. It is proposed to start the stone production from larger block/area to

at least double the production of the district which will enhance the revenue of the

district and also support the livelihood of the local people.

18. MAP OF EXISTING MINING LEASES IN THE DISTRICT:

Enclosed as Plate-I

19. DETAILS OF THE AREA OF WHERE THERE IS A CLUSTER OF MINING

LEASE VIZ. NUMBER OF MINING LEASES, LOCATION (LATITUDE AND

LONGITUDE)

Currently there are two such clusters of mining leases in Kaptipada area of the district

(Enclosed as Annexure-II). However, it is proposed to consider the cluster of mining

lease while planning for new lease area in coming years.

20. DETAILS OF ECO-SENSITIVE AREA, IF ANY, IN THE DISTRICT:

Eco sensitive zone of Similipal wild life sanctuary is located within the district.

21. IMPACTS OF MINING ON ENVIRONMENT:

The most important environmental impact of mining projects is:-

Transportation sources:

Transportation sources of air pollutants include heavy vehicles used in excavation

operations, cars that transport personnel at the mining site, and trucks that transport

mining materials. The level of polluting emissions from these sources depends on the

fuel and conditions of the equipment. Even though individual emissions can be

relatively small, collectively these emissions can be of real concern. In addition,

mobile sources are a major source of particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and volatile

organic compounds that contribute significantly to the formation of ground-level ozone

LATERITE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

39

Fugitive emissions:

Common sources of fugitive emissions include: storage and handling of materials;

mine processing; fugitive dust, blasting, construction activities, and roadways

associated with mining activities; leach pads, and tailing piles and ponds; and waste

rock piles. Sources and characteristics of fugitive emissions dust in mining operations

vary in each case, as do their impacts. Impacts are difficult to predict and calculate

but should be considered since they could be a significant source of hazardous air

pollutants.

Noise and vibration:

Noise pollution associated with mining may include noise from vehicle engines,

loading and unloading of rock into steel dumpers, chutes, power generation, and

other sources. Cumulative impacts of shoveling, ripping, drilling, blasting, transport,

crushing, grinding, and stock-piling can significantly affect wildlife and nearby

residents.

Vibrations are associated with many types of equipment used in mining operations,

but blasting is considered the major source. Vibration has affected the stability of

infrastructures, buildings, and homes of people living near large-scale open-pit mining

operations. According to a study commissioned by the European Union in 2000:

“Shocks and vibrations as a result of blasting in connection with mining can lead to

noise, dust and collapse of structures in surrounding inhabited areas. The animal life,

on which the local population may depend, might also be disturbed.”

22. REMEDIAL MEASURES TO MITIGATE THE IMPACT OF MINING ON THE

ENVIRONMENT:

1. Following are the remedial measures to mitigate the in Water sprinkling on haul

road, loading and unloading points.

2. Plantation along the safety zone and dump area.

3. Providing dust masks to workers.

4. Regular monitoring of ambient air quality.

5. Provision of air conditioned cabin of Excavators and Dumpers.

6. Regular and proper maintenance of working equipments.

7. Periodic medical examination of the workers and organize medical camp in the area.

LATERITE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

40

8. Use Milli Second Delay Detonator in blasting operation.

9. Provisions of ear plug to the workers.

10. Regular training programme to the mines workers and operators.

23. RECLAMATION OF MINED OUT AREA

Necessity of Reclamation & Rehabilitation:

Exponential growth in mineral production since 1980.

Mining activities causes physical, chemical, biological and socio-economic changes in

the area.

Surface mining activities disturb the original land profile.

In India, mineral production comes mostly from opencast mines & hence land

degradation problems are of serious concern.

An intricate, in-depth and site-specified techniques involving integrated approach is

necessary.

Reclamation has three vital roles:

i. Reclamation – Reclamation means return the mined-out land with useful life. It

implies restoring the land to a form and productivity that is useful and inconformity

with a prior land use. Reclamation always may not be a single- phase operation.

ii. Rehabilitation – Rehabilitation is to bring batch the degraded land to a normal

stage by a special treatment. It is a process of taking some mitigation measures for

disturbed environmental condition created through mining activities.

iii. Restoration – Restoration is the process of returning the mined out land being

fit to an acceptable environmental condition. However, the general acceptable

meaning of the term is bringing the disturbed land to its original form. Restoration is

often used to indicate that biological properties of soil are put back to what they were.

This is a rate phenomenon.

iv. When active mining ceases, mine facilities and the site are reclaimed and closed.

The goal of mine site reclamation and closure should always be to return the site to a

condition that most resembles the pre-mining condition. Mines that are notorious for

their immense impact on the environment often made impacts only during the closure

phase, when active mining operations ceased. These impacts can persist for decades

LATERITE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

41

and even centuries.

Mine reclamation and closure plans must describe in sufficient detail how the mining

company will restore the site to a condition that most resembles pre-mining

environmental quality; how it will prevent – in perpetuity – the release of toxic

contaminants from various mine facilities (such as abandoned open pits and tailings

impoundments); and how funds will be set aside to insure that the costs of

reclamation and closure will be paid for.

Proposed future land use after reclamation:

a. Forestry, b. Recreation, c. Water Reservoir, d. Crop Land, e.

residential/Commercial, f. Fish & wildlife Habitat, g. Undeveloped Land,

h. Grazing/Pasture Land

Statutory requirement:

As per the Mineral Conservation Development Rule, 2017, the following rules must be

bare in mind by the mine owner/agent/manager, which is a part of reclamation

activities –

Rule 22, Mine Closure Plan

Rule 23, Submission of Progressive Mine Closure Plan Rule 24, Submission of Final

Mine Closure Plan

Rule 26, Responsibility of holder of mining lease Rule 27, Financial Assurance

Rule 35, Sustainable Mining

24. RISK ASSESSMENT AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN:

Mining activity because of the very nature of the operation, complexity of the

systems, procedures and methods always involves some amount of hazards. Hazard

identification and risk analysis is carried for identification of undesirable events that

can leads to a hazard, the analysis of hazard mechanism by which this undesirable

event could occur and usually the estimation of extent, magnitude and likelihood of

harmful effects. The activities which can cause high risk related to face stability and

the person blasting the shots. It was observed that on a working face of the mine,

LATERITE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

42

there were large cracks and unsupported rocks were present, which can lead to a

serious hazard and injure workers engaged in loading operation and machineries

because of rock falls or slides. This type of condition turn out because improper

dressing of the bench and improper supervision. To avoid the hazards due to fall of

rocks the face must be examined, made suitable for working and the remedial

measures must be taken to make it safe if there is any doubt that a collapse could

take place. Working of the face should be in the direction taking into account the

geology of the area such that face and quarry side remain stable. Another major risk

identified in mines is due to the firing of explosive by an unqualified person. In the

mines there is problem of fly rocks and the village is located close to the mine and so

it is rated high as it can affect may people. Explosives by nature have the potential for

the most serious and catastrophic accident. Planning of round of shots, holes correctly

drilled, direction logged, weight of explosive suitable for good fragmentation are the

few of the steps necessary to ensure its safe use and if the shots are not properly

designed can result in misfires, early ignition and flying rocks. No person is allowed to

use explosives without being properly trained in its handling. In the mine a large

numbers of heavy vehicles were in operation and the roads were not proper for

haulage purpose. The haulage roads were not even and were not wide enough for the

crossing purpose and hence the chances of hazards are very high. The main hazards

arising from the use large earth moving vehicles are incompetent drivers, brake

failure, lack of all-around visibility from the driver position, vehicle movements

particularly reversing, roll over, and maintenance. Those most at risk are the driver

and pedestrians likely to be struck by the vehicle, and drivers of smaller vehicles,

which cannot be seen from the cabs of large vehicles. Edge protection is always

necessary to prevent inadvertent movement over the edge of roadway or a bench.

Seatbelt will protect driver in case of roll. Good maintenance and regular testing are

necessary to reduce the possibility of brake failure. Access to the vehicles should

always be restricted to those people necessary for the work in hand. The use of

personal protective equipment and proper arrangements is essential to check if the

person is wearing protective equipment or not. The personal protective equipment

includes helmet, non-skid safety boots, safety glasses, earmuffs etc. The required

personal protective equipment should be provided and used in a manner that protects

LATERITE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

43

the individual from injury. Few minor injuries which can be prevented are slip, trip, or

fall hazards; hazards due to rock falls and collapse of unstable rocks, atmosphere

containing toxic or combustible gases; protects from chemical or hazardous material

etc. A disaster management plan should be prepared for taking care of for any

disaster. Other risks which are included in this category are noise, as it occurs and it

can lead to permanent disability. There are problems related to road traffic in and out

issuers; inappropriate exposure of moving machines; mechanical failure and because

of large number of moving trucks and dumpers there is large quantity of dust present

in roadways which affects the operators and can lead to accidents causing injury.

They are in acceptable range because of precautions measures taken but no step is

taken it can cause hazard hence steps should be taken to reduce the hazards such as

for dust suppression system should be installed. Other problems like occurrence of

lots of mosquitoes in the area due to unhygienic conditions which affect the human

health causing malaria, dengue etc. and causing a person to be hospitalized.

Disaster in the mines like fires, explosions, entrapments, and inundations can occur

any time, so emergency preparedness is a must. The Disaster management plan and

risk assessment in the mines will include all sorts of above mentioned emergency and

the extent that this plan will be implemented will depend on the nature and scope of

the emergency. The basic purpose of Disaster management plan and risk assessment

to ensure that mine rescue and recovery activities are conducted safely for rescuer

and survivors. According to MMR act 1961 a standard operating procedure should be

drawn for involvement different category of staff and officers. The SOP should be

updated periodically to reduce the chaos and response to the emergency should be

quick and smooth. The responsible person should be familiar with his responsibility

during the mock drills. One or two standby should be there to replace the person in

Emergency situation. Rescue operations should not include the survivors for any

assistance.

First Information of Disaster / Emergency should go to the attendance clerk on duty.

Duties of attendance Clerk (Emergency Siren) the attendance clerk or other

designated person should on getting information of major accident, sound a hooter or

a siren immediately declaring a state of emergency at the mine and then to contact

LATERITE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

44

the manager and on his advice to call key personnel using the information listed in the

Emergency Organization Chart. It is important that all telephone calls are recorded in

a telephone log book. Duties of Other Officials should be displayed and handed over

to all concerned. Copy the same should be kept at Manager’s Office for ready

reference. Establishment of Control Room at Unit Level, Area Level and Company

Level is essential. Control Room should keep the contact information about –

Company Manager

Company owner/ Administrative officer.

District Administration

Govt. Hospitals in Nearby Localities,

Private Nursing Homes of Localities

Attendance roaster and duty charge register should be properly maintained so the

record of missing people can be obtained.

25. DETAILS OF THE OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH ISSUE IN THE DISTRICT:

The persons employed in the mines are exposed to a number of hazards at work

which adversely affect their health. Some of the important ones are dust, noise, heat,

humidity, vibration etc. In recent times, there has been increasing awareness among

mining industry and the workers about occupational diseases like Pneumoconiosis,

Silicosis, Tuberculosis, Hearing Impairment etc. caused by exposure to health hazards

at work. Almost all occupational diseases can be prevented by adopting proper

occupational health measures and engineering control on airborne dust pollution at

workplace. Occupational Diseases in mines or industry are required to conduct

medical examinations and health surveillance of workers as per the provisions of

Mines Act. The present efforts of mines management are concentrated on detection of

silicosis, Pneumoconiosis and other notified diseases. The essential features of health

surveillance programme required to be carried out in mines are:

(a) Initial Medical Examination of persons to be conducted at the time of

appointment.

(b) Periodic Medical Examination or General physical examination to be conducted

once in every year.

(c) Maintenance of medical records and health services till the person is in service.

26. PLANTATION GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT IN RESPECT OF LEASE

ALREADY GRANTED IN THE DISTRICT:

During mining operation green belt development through plantation is most important

for environment safe guard, which should be supervision by mining department.

Different type of species should be planted near lease periphery to keep environment

clean at post mining period through reclamation. Where specific usefulness of land

could be decided, a forestation is normally planned through the site could have been

considered for better possibilities of land use.

27. CONCLUSION:

Since it is an interim report, to meet the requirement of minerals in the present

scenario, it is proposed to identify such potential areas at certain interval and get the

data bank of DSR to be updated. The insitu mining activity in any area is on one hand

bring revenue and employment (Direct and indirect) and on other hand if not done

properly potential pollution and ecological imbalance increases, the ability of the

ecosystem can also be reduced. Particulate matter transported by the wind as a result

of excavations, blasting, transportation of materials, heavy equipments used raise

these particulate levels; and Gas emissions from the combustion of fuels in stationary

LATERITE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

46

and mobile sources, explosions, and mineral processing. All these activities indirectly

affected the biodiversity of area. Larger potential and smaller areas have been

identified in Mayurbhanj district on the basis of geological study carried out during

field observation, which can be considered for mining concession after all the

parameters for statutory clearances are verified by consulting with concerned

authorities.

PREAMBLE

Odisha is the major mineral reach in India. Mayurbhanj is a unique district in Odisha

lies on the northern most part of the state with varied mineral resources. In

pursuance of the order of Hon’ble Supreme Court Petition (C) No. 19628-19629 of

2009, dated 27th Feb. 2012 in the matter of Deepak Kumar Vs State of Haryana and

others etc., prior environmental clearance has now become mandatory for mining of

minor minerals irrespective of the area of Mining Lease. And also in view of the

Hon’ble National Green Tribunal, order dated the 13th Jan. 2015 the matter regarding

Roadmetal/stone, Sand, Brick earth, & burrowed earth cutting for Road Construction

has to take prior Environmental Clearance. for Mining Lease area more or less than 5

hectares also suggested making a policy on Environmental Clearance for minor

minerals lease and leases in cluster. As per MOEF & CC Notification S.O.-1533(E)

dated 14th Sept. 2006 and subsequent MoEF & CC Notification S.O. 141(E) dated 15th

Jan. 2016, District Environment Impact Assessment Authority (DEIAA) & District level

Expert Appraisal Committee (DEAC) has been formed for Category –B2 Minor Minerals

having area less than or equal to 5 ha. In compliance to the notification issued by the

Ministry of Environment and Forest and Climate Change Notification no. S.O.3611 (E)

New Delhi dated 25-07-2018; the preparation of district survey report of road

metal/stone mining has been prepared in accordance with Clause II of Appendix X of the

notification.

Keeping in view of the prior information of Odisha Minor Mineral Concession Rule

2004, (OMMCR -2004) the mining operation for minor minerals was carried out in

unscientific manner. Identifying this fact in exercise of power, Conferred by Section 15

by Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act 1957 as amended in 2015

and all other powers enabling it in that behalf, the Mining & Geology Department,

Govt. of Odisha framed the aforementioned rule. Further, this report will act as a

compendium of available mineral resources, geological set up, environmental and

ecological set up of the district and based on data of various departments like

Revenue, Water Resources, Forest, Geology and Mining in the district as well as

statistical data uploaded by various state Government departments for preparation for

district survey report.

1. INTRODUCTION:

Mayurbhanj at a Glance:

1.1 Location and Geographical Area:

Mayurbhanj district is the largest among the thirty districts of Odisha and Baripada is

the District head quarter, spreading over an area of 10,418 sq.km lies between

latitudes 21° 17’ North and 22° 34’ North and longitudes 85°40’ East and 87°10’ East.

It is bounded on the north by the Singhbhum district of Jharkhand and Midnapore

district of West Bengal, on the south by the districts of Balasore and Keonjhar, on the

east by the Midnapore and Balasore districts and on the west by the districts of

Keonjhar and Singhbhum. Mayurbhanj occupies a unique position being endowed

with lush green vegetation, different fauna & flora and rich cultural heritage. The

district has a rich mineral base and is home to the Similipal Biosphere. Iron-ore

(hematite), vanadiferous and titaniferous magnetic, chaina clay, galena (lead ore),

12

encountered in the district are Granite Gneiss, Quartzite, Orthoquartzite, Arkose,

Shale, Phyllite, Gabbro, Px-granite. The geology of the district is constituted by the

Similipal complex at its central part belonging the Archaean age, unconformably lying

over Singhbhum Granite and Banded Iron Formation (BIF). It consists of three

alternate bands of volcano sedimentary units uniquely disposed in a ring like circular

pattern formed under sub- marine conditions. Baripada Beds outcrops of tertiary

formation occur around Baripada town. These comprise stratified clay and sand with

marly clay or limestone interbands. Important mineral resources include iron, copper,

itanium, vanadium, chinaclay, nickel, kyanite ,quartz, talc, steatite ,soapstone and

4.1 Physiography & Geomorphology:

Mayurbhanj district presents diverse physiographic features, Physiographically the

study area can be divided into 3 categories. The first physiographic unit of the district

is high mountain ranges, Similipal Complex being at its central part (Figure 1). The

mountain ranges comprise mainly of highland plateau and valleys with intrusive

running through them. The second physiographic unit is Tertiary Plain occurring in the

eastern part of the district. The third physiographic unit is Alluvial Plain which lies

partly in Rasgovindpur, Morada, Samakhunta, Betnoti, Baripada, Badasahi and

Suliapada blocks. The highest elevation of about 559m at Bahalda near Similpal hill

and higher elevations of the district, due to scarp landforms some waterfalls are

observed in the district. The general slope of the district is from north to south.

Geologically the area is comprised with Archean granites and gneisses.

Geomorphologically the district is divided into 3 units:

i) The denudational hills with moderate to high slope occurring in the western part of

the district.

ii) Dissected pediments having gentle slope.

4.3 Mineral Resources:

The earliest known geological survey in Mayurbhanj dates back to 1903, when P.N.

Bose brought to light the extensive iron-ore deposits of high quantity on the

Gorumahisani and Sulaipat hills in Bamanghaty Sub-Division. These deposits were

considered to be almost inexhaustible and were pronounced to be of excellent quality,

perhaps second to none in the whole of Asia by the famous American and English

experts like M/s Perin, Weld and Colonel Staddart, who visited these deposits during

1905-06. This discovery was a momentous one as the steel plant of the Tata Iron &

Steel Co. at Jamshedpur was entirely based on the exploitation of these deposits. By

1915, important discoveries of Steatite near Lulung and placer gold from the sands of

Subarnarekha, Kharkhai and Barhai rivers had been made. The placer gold deposits

were being worked by M/s J.B. Bettie of Calcutta, Mr. V.G. Piggot of Ghatsila and the

Mayurbhanj Prospecting Concession Syndicate.

Gold: The mid-Archaean Gorumahisani-Badampahar schist belt composed of basic

ultrabasic, volcanic rocks and volcanogenic sediments. This belt has been

prognosticated as a rift-type of volcanic dominated one and is highly potential for

economic grade gold mineralization. Likely targets include: a) auriferous quartz veins

close to the contact of sulphide chert volcanics, b) sheared and sulphidised Fe-rich

tholeiite with anomalous copper, c) epigenetic vein type of mineralization and BIF

volcanic association, and d) sulphidic conglomerate resting over the basic volcanics.

Placer gold occurrence is known from rivers and stream of Mayurbhanj district. An

area of about 5 square kilometers of alluvium at the headwaters of Sapgora and Borai

rivers near Kudersai was indicated as promising.

Iron: Bose discovered iron ore deposits in Gorumahisani and Badampahar in the

eastwhile princely state of Mayurbhanj (now Mayurbhanj District). Gorumahisani

deposits were investigated by Perin & Weld (1905). Gorumahisani- Badampahar-

Suleipat deposits are associated with banded hematite / magnetite grunerite and BHJ.

Vanadium Ores & Titanium: Vanadium is an important alloying element. Magnetite

associated with gabbro- anorthosite suite of rocks contains vanadium and titanium.

Deposits of vanadium-magnetite occur in association with Gabbro-Anorthosite suite of

rocks in the Precambrian Metamorphites. Vanadium bearing magnetite belts are:-

(a) Rairangpur – Bisoi belt (Kumardubi, Betjharan Amdabeda)

(b) Bisoi – Jashipur belt (Mayurbeka, Kesham, Sialnoi)

(c) Baripada – Podadiha belt (Andipur, Bahalda)

Pyrophyllite : is mainly used as a high grade ceramic product, electric insulator and

refractory material. The comp. is Al2O34SiO2 H20. It is formed as an alteration product

of feldspar. Pyrophyllite occurrences are reported at Kankrani, Jashipur,

Gorumahisani, Bangriposhi and Manada in Mayurbhanj Dist. Ichinda, Khairakocha,

Jamukunda, Nakulkocha, Kapadiha, Dunguridiha, Maheshpur, Kashidiha, Sagragora

and Pokpoka. Dimension stone of the district are granite, granite-gneiss, migmatites,

syenite, gabbro, anorthosite, charnockite, leptynite, pyroxene granulite, dolerite,

pyroxinite and dunite etc.

Bauxite: In Similipal complex (Mayurbhanj) aluminous laterite/ Bauxite are observed

around 1000 m AMSL. The spongy aluminous laterite/bauxite occurs as sheets and

boulders occupying the flat-topped hills made up of metavolcanics. Both

ultramafics and metavolcanics are lateritised giving rise to nickeliferous laterite and

aluminous laterite respectively.

China Clay is clay like material approximating the mineral Kaolinite (Al2O3, 2SIO2,

2H2O). China clay is found to occur in a long belt stretching from Singhbhum to

Mayurbhanj. Badampahar-Joshipur- Karanjia – Ramachandrapur belt is the most

important china-clay producing area of the state. The important deposits in

Mayurbhanj district are found near Joshipur, Chanchbani, Dumuria, Jamoda,

Kodadiha, Jamkeswar and Thakurmunda. China clay has many industrial applications

as filler in paper, textile, rubber, in the manufacture of potteries, ceramics, sanitary

wares, glazed tiles, white cement, insecticides, paints, cosmetics, refractory bricks etc.

Soap stone and Steatite Asbestos is mined from Mayurbhanj area.

Talc, steatite and soapstone : Important localities of these deposits in Mayurbhanj

dist are Tiring, Kendumundi and Kharidamak.

Kyanite: Kyanite deposits of refractory grade occur in Panijia area of Mayurbhanj

dist, where it is associated with dumortierite bearing rocks, qtz-veins, quartz-mica-

schists and talc-tremolite-schist. Other kyanite occurrence includes Purnapani &

Similipal.

Quartz & Quartzite: Quartz and silica sand are mostly used in glass foundry,

ferrosilicon alloy, ceramic industry, abrasive, paint, rubber, textile industries.

Transparent varieties of quartz such as rock crystal, amethyst, citrine, Rosequartz and

smoky quartz are used as semi-precious gemstone. Quartz is a piezoelectric material

and is used in radio circuit, Radars and ultra-sonic devices. Quartzite is a

monomineralic rock constituted predominantly of quartz. There are 6 mining leases

for quartz and quartzite in Mayurbhanj dist.

5.1 River System

The Budhabalanga River (also called Balanga River) flows through the districts

of Mayurbhanj & Balasore and finally reached Bay of Bengal. The Budhabalanga, rises

from Similipal hills and plunges through Barehipani Falls, the second-highest waterfall

in India, located in Similipal National Park. It then flows in a northerly direction up to

the village Karanjiapal in Bangiriposi police-station. Thereafter, it turns to the north-

east and flows along the railway track up to the village Jhankapahadi. There it

changes its course to the south and meets the Katra nala. The other tributaries are

the Palpala and the Chipat both of which are hill streams rising from the Similipal hills.

Then the river passes through Baripada. It later flows through Balasore district and

into the Bay of Bengal. The Budhabalanga is about 175 kilometres (109 mi) long and

has a total catchment area of 4,840 square kilometres (1,870 sq mi). Its major

tributaries are the Sona, Gangahar, and the Katra. Burhabalang and its tributaries, viz.

ORDINARY EARTH/BRICK EARTH MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

Sona Nadi, Amrutia Nadi, Gangahar Nadi drain almost round the year in the present

area. Sona Nadi receives the watery effluent load through a nalah (Sankh nalah) from

the Balgopalpur Industrial Estate and flows from west to east. Amrutia Nadi flows

from NNW to SSE and carries the waste water load of East Coast. Subarnrekha

originate from Nagri of jharkhand and then enter into Mayurbhanj district, very less

portion of the river flows within Mayurbhanj district, Major portion of Subarnarekha

River passes in the Balasore district. Another river Jambhira runs in Mayurbhanj

district then enters into Balasore district and Renamed as river Jalaka flows into Bay

of Bengal. Other small rivers run in this district like River Khadkhai originates from

Tunhgru R.F. and plunges through Suleipat Dam (Khadkhai Reserviour). It then runs

towards Rairangpur, Bahalda, Tiringi area of western direction of Mayurbhanj district

and finally reached at River Subarnarekha. River Deo rises from Similipal R.F. and

runs towards western part of the district and flows through Karanjia area and then

joins with Baitarani River. River Khairabandhan originates from Similipal R.F. and

flows towards western part of the Mayurbhanj district through Jshipur, Raruan, Sukurli

area of district and then joins with River Baitarani This river maintains a sluggish flow

in the pre-monsoon period, but swells menacingly with the onset of monsoon often

flooding large tracts. Another small tributary named as Kanhu starts from River

Khadkhai and branched into Jalapa, Ghagera nala meets at Jharbeda area of

Mayurbhanj District.

6.2 Agriculture Land:

Mayurbhanj is surrounded by no of forest areas as well as Rocky Mountains. People

used to cultivate Paddy in most parts of the hill slopes and in plain lands. Most of the

cultivators grow short duration local paddy in the un-bonded upland during Kharif

season. The crop suffers moisture stress at different stages due to inadequate rainfall.

The primary objective of Agriculture Department is increase of production as well as

productivity of major crops like paddy, groundnut, mustard, Mung, Biri & vegetables

which is widely covered in this District in both Kharif & Rabi season. Another key

objective is the all round development of the farming community of the District. The

Deputy Director of Agriculture is the head of office so far as agriculture is concerned &

he is the Principal Agriculture Officer of the District. Under him there are 5 District

Agriculture Officers & the block under them. As already pointed out that, agriculture is

the main livelihood of the people in Mayurbhanj District. It is therefore also

designated as the food bowl of Odisha. Rice is the principal crop grown in this district,

followed by other cereals, pulses, oilseeds, vegetables, spices and sugarcane. The

agricultural statistics for the district is shown in subsequent tables below:

6.3 Horticulture Land:

The primary objective of Horticulture Department is increase of production as well as

productivity of major fruits like Mango, Guava, Citrus etc., which is widely covered in

this District. Another key objective is the all round development of the farming

community of the District. The Deputy Director of Horticulture is the head of office.

7.0 SURFACE WATER AND GROUND WATER SCENARIO OF THE DISTRICT

7.1 Hydrogeology

Distribution of Saline / fresh water aquifers:

The occurrence of fresh water aquifers in coastal tract of Mayurbhanj restricted by

two important factors‐ (i) Occurrence of hard rocks in the western side and (ii) Salinity

hazard problems in the eastern part. The water bearing formation of the area can be

divided into (a) areas underlain by fractured, fissured and consolidated basement rock

formations (b) areas underlain by recent unconsolidated alluvial formations.

(a) Consolidated Formation - These are most predominant rock types occurring in

the undulating plains of the district. Groundwater occurs under unconfined condition

in the shallow weathered zone and circulates through fractures and joints. The

thickness of the weathered zone varies from 3 to 35 m. Depth of open wells in these

formations varies from 5 to 14 m below ground level.

(b) Unconsolidated alluvial formations - The unconsolidated formations consists of

laterite and alluvium. Laterites at places are highly consolidated and used as building

stones. The laterites have high degree of effective porosity and form potential

aquifers commonly tapped in dug wells. The alluvium comprises an admixture of clay,

silt, sand and calcareous concretions in varying proportions. The coarse sediments like

sand and gravel form the main repository of ground water. Ground water occurs

under both unconfined condition in shallow aquifers and in confined condition in

deeper parts.

7.2 Depth of water level:

The depth to water level map for pre and post monsoon periods 2011 are prepared

based on the ground water monitoring data of 77 Nos of National Hydrograph

Stations of C.G.W.B. monitored during the month of April and November 2006 are

presented below respectively. The pre and post monsoon depth to water level in the

district range from 3.54 to 14.50 m below ground level and 1.39 to 8.20 m below

ground level respectively. It is observed that during pre monsoon about 75% of the

total areas show the water level varying between 5 to 10 m below ground level.

During post monsoon nearly 60% of the area has water levels within 2 to 5 m,

while the rest part has between 0 to 2 and 4 to 6 m below ground levels. In localized

part of Morada, Kaptipada and Thakurmunda the water level is > 5 mt.

7.3 Ground Water Quality

The chemical quality of ground water in the district has been assessed on the basis of

chemical analysis of ground water samples collected during groundwater monitoring,

Hydrogeological surveys and groundwater exploration. The results of the chemical

analysis are presented in Table.

7.4 Ground Water Development

In the rural areas the entire water supply is dependent on ground water. Ground

water development is mainly carried out in the district through dug wells and Hand

pumps. In general dug wells are of 2 m diameter and the depth ranges between 8 to

15 m depending on the thickness of the weathered zone, tapping the shallow aquifer

in the weathered zone and uppermost slice of the basement. Large number of dug

wells used for drinking water is under private ownership for which there is no reliable

data. Over the years Mark II/ Mark III hand pumps are being drilled in large numbers

for ground water development. These hand pumps have the following two major

advantages i) less susceptible to contamination from surface sources and ii) tap

fractures between 20-60m depth which have been found to be less affected by

seasonal water level fluctuation and thus have lesser chances of failure even during

extreme summer. Over all the present level of ground water development is only

27.21 percent in the district with the maximum in Badasahi Block viz. 64.65% and

minimum in Bijatala Block. Block wise development figure indicate that all the blocks

come under the white categories. Thus there is ample scope for development of

groundwater in the district to augment irrigation potentials through suitable ground

water abstraction structure

7.5 Ground Water Related Issue and Problems

Some of key ground water related issues are

I. Locating suitable sites for bore wells

II. Suitable design of dug wells and hand pumps

III. Taking up artificial recharge projects to augment the resource availability in

Mayurbhanj district.

IV. Optimal development of irrigation potential by developing ground water available

for future uses.

V. Creating public awareness for conserving ground water through awareness

camps, NGO’s and mass media.

7.8 RECOMMENDATIONS

1) Intensive groundwater exploration should be taken up to delineate deeper

potential water saturated fracture zones and to compute aquifer parameter.

2) Large scale planning for ground water development should be preceded by

intensive hydrogeological and geophysical surveys aided by remote sensing

studies.

3) Effective measures may be taken to conserve the surface run off by contour

bonding at suitable sites. Also proper maintenance of reservoir, tanks and spring

channels by periodical disiltation should be carried out.

4) Existing dug-wells should be deepened to tap the maximum saturated thickness of

the weathered mantle or vertical bores may be drilled through the bottom to

enhance the well yield.

5) Energy-station of wells already constructed should be stepped up to ensure

optimal utilization of the irrigation potential already created.

6) The farmers should be educated through agricultural extension services from

adopting suitable cropping pattern for optimal utilization of available groundwater

resources.

7) Programmes for artificial recharge may also be taken up for augmentation of

groundwater through construction of percolation tanks, subsurface dykes, and

check dams and through contour bonding etc.

8) An intensive network of groundwater monitoring stations are required to be

established in the command areas of irrigation projects to monitor the changes in

groundwater regime consequent on application of surface water irrigation.

15. QUALITY/GRADE OF MINERAL AVAILABLE IN THE DISTRICT:

Rocks and Minerals found in Mayurbhanj District:-

The district is endowed with various types of mineral resources like Iron ore, China

Clay, Quartz, Soap stone, Granite, Manganese, etc. Due to presence of huge

mineral resources, mining activities have been undertaken in a big scale. Bahalda,

Jashipur, Karanjia, Koshorpur, Bisoi, Gorumahisani and Rairangpur are the places in

the district having deposits of the above mineral products. The availability of

mineral deposits is given in the table below. The district’s mineral deposits have not

been utilized to maximum extent for industrial purpose. Some of the items like

China clay, Soap stone, Asbestos, etc. can be used in small scale sector. So the

available resources of the district need harnessing properly for industrial and

productive use. Road metal/Building stone of the district are very much suitable for

various construction purposes after crushing and screening. The granite gneisses

are well foliated, jointed and weathered easily.

16. USE OF MINERAL

Uses of Soil/Brick earth:

Soil/Brick earth have been extensively used for making of raw bricks and filling of

new road construction and various public and commercial purposes.

ORDINARY EARTH/BRICK EARTH MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

38

17. DEMAND AND SUPPLY OF THE MINERAL IN THE LAST THREE YEARS:

As such there are huge infrastructural activities such as road, building, railways are

coming up by state govt. under Govt. of India & PSUs under “Make in India”

programme. The Granitic rocks are the main raw minerals for the above activities and

considering the last three years’ actual production of Mayurbhanj with respect to the

requirement of the state has a huge gap. It is proposed to start the production from

larger block/area to at least double the production of the district which will enhance

the revenue of the district and also support the livelihood of the local people.

18. MAP OF EXISTING MINING LEASES IN THE DISTRICT:

Enclosed as Plate-I

19. DETAILS OF THE AREA OF WHERE THERE IS A CLUSTER OF MINING

LEASE VIZ. NUMBER OF MINING LEASES, LOCATION (LATITUDE AND

LONGITUDE)

Currently there are no clusters of mining leases in the district. However, it is proposed

to consider the cluster of mining lease while planning for new lease area in coming

years.

20. DETAILS OF ECO-SENSITIVE AREA, IF ANY, IN THE DISTRICT:

Eco sensitive zone of Similipal wild life sanctuary is located within the district.

21. IMPACTS OF MINING ON ENVIRONMENT:

The most important environmental impact of mining projects is:-

Transportation sources:

Transportation sources of air pollutants include heavy vehicles used in excavation

operations, cars that transport personnel at the mining site, and trucks that transport

mining materials. The level of polluting emissions from these sources depends on the

fuel and conditions of the equipment. Even though individual emissions can be

relatively small, collectively these emissions can be of real concern. In addition,

ORDINARY EARTH/BRICK EARTH MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

39

mobile sources are a major source of particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and volatile

organic compounds that contribute significantly to the formation of ground-level ozone

Fugitive emissions:

Common sources of fugitive emissions include: storage and handling of materials;

mine processing; fugitive dust, blasting, construction activities, and roadways

associated with mining activities; leach pads, and tailing piles and ponds; and waste

rock piles. Sources and characteristics of fugitive emissions dust in mining operations

vary in each case, as do their impacts. Impacts are difficult to predict and calculate

but should be considered since they could be a significant source of hazardous air

pollutants.

Noise and vibration:

Noise pollution associated with mining may include noise from vehicle engines,

loading and unloading of rock into steel dumpers, chutes, power generation, and

other sources. Cumulative impacts of shoveling, ripping, drilling, blasting, transport,

crushing, grinding, and stock-piling can significantly affect wildlife and nearby

residents.

Vibrations are associated with many types of equipment used in mining operations,

but blasting is considered the major source. Vibration has affected the stability of

infrastructures, buildings, and homes of people living near large-scale open-pit mining

operations. According to a study commissioned by the European Union in 2000:

“Shocks and vibrations as a result of blasting in connection with mining can lead to

noise, dust and collapse of structures in surrounding inhabited areas. The animal life,

on which the local population may depend, might also be disturbed.”

22. REMEDIAL MEASURES TO MITIGATE THE IMPACT OF MINING ON THE

ENVIRONMENT:

1. Following are the remedial measures to mitigate the in Water sprinkling on haul

road, loading and unloading points.

2. Plantation along the safety zone and dump area.

3. Providing dust masks to workers.

4. Regular monitoring of ambient air quality.

5. Provision of air conditioned cabin of Excavators and Dumpers.

6. Regular and proper maintenance of working equipments.

ORDINARY EARTH/BRICK EARTH MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

40

7. Periodic medical examination of the workers and organize medical camp in the

area.

8. Use Milli Second Delay Detonator in blasting operation.

9. Provisions of ear plug to the workers.

10. Regular training programme to the mines workers and operators.

23. RECLAMATION OF MINED OUT AREA

Necessity of Reclamation & Rehabilitation:

Exponential growth in mineral production since 1980.

Mining activities causes physical, chemical, biological and socio-economic changes in

the area.

Surface mining activities disturb the original land profile.

In India, mineral production comes mostly from opencast mines & hence land

degradation problems are of serious concern.

An intricate, in-depth and site-specified techniques involving integrated approach is

necessary.

Reclamation has three vital roles:

i. Reclamation – Reclamation means return the mined-out land with useful life. It

implies restoring the land to a form and productivity that is useful and inconformity

with a prior land use. Reclamation always may not be a single- phase operation.

ii. Rehabilitation – Rehabilitation is to bring batch the degraded land to a normal

stage by a special treatment. It is a process of taking some mitigation measures for

disturbed environmental condition created through mining activities.

iii. Restoration – Restoration is the process of returning the mined out land being

fit to an acceptable environmental condition. However, the general acceptable

meaning of the term is bringing the disturbed land to its original form. Restoration is

often used to indicate that biological properties of soil are put back to what they were.

This is a rate phenomenon.

iv. When active mining ceases, mine facilities and the site are reclaimed and closed.

The goal of mine site reclamation and closure should always be to return the site to a

condition that most resembles the pre-mining condition. Mines that are notorious for

their immense impact on the environment often made impacts only during the closure

ORDINARY EARTH/BRICK EARTH MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

41

phase, when active mining operations ceased. These impacts can persist for decades

and even centuries.

Mine reclamation and closure plans must describe in sufficient detail how the mining

company will restore the site to a condition that most resembles pre-mining

environmental quality; how it will prevent – in perpetuity – the release of toxic

contaminants from various mine facilities (such as abandoned open pits and tailings

impoundments); and how funds will be set aside to insure that the costs of

reclamation and closure will be paid for.

Proposed future land use after reclamation:

a. Forestry, b. Recreation, c. Water Reservoir, d. Crop Land, e.

residential/Commercial, f. Fish & wildlife Habitat, g. Undeveloped Land,

h. Grazing/Pasture Land.

Statutory requirement:

As per the Mineral Conservation Development Rule, 2017, the following rules must be

based in mind by the mine owner/agent/manager, which is a part of reclamation

activities –

Rule 22, Mine Closure Plan

Rule 23, Submission of Progressive Mine Closure Plan Rule 24, Submission of Final

Mine Closure Plan

Rule 26, Responsibility of holder of mining lease Rule 27, Financial Assurance

Rule 35, Sustainable Mining

24. RISK ASSESSMENT AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN:

Mining activity because of the very nature of the operation, complexity of the

systems, procedures and methods always involves some amount of hazards. Hazard

identification and risk analysis is carried for identification of undesirable events that

can leads to a hazard, the analysis of hazard mechanism by which this undesirable

event could occur and usually the estimation of extent, magnitude and likelihood of

harmful effects. The activities which can cause high risk related to face stability and

the person blasting the shots. It was observed that on a working face of the mine,

there were large cracks and unsupported rocks were present, which can lead to a

serious hazard and injure workers engaged in loading operation and machineries

because of rock falls or slides. This type of condition turn out because improper

ORDINARY EARTH/BRICK EARTH MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

42

dressing of the bench and improper supervision. To avoid the hazards due to fall of

rocks the face must be examined, made suitable for working and the remedial

measures must be taken to make it safe if there is any doubt that a collapse could

take place. Working of the face should be in the direction taking into account the

geology of the area such that face and quarry side remain stable. Another major risk

identified in mines is due to the firing of explosive by an unqualified person. In the

mines there is problem of fly rocks and the village is located close to the mine and so

it is rated high as it can affect may people. Explosives by nature have the potential for

the most serious and catastrophic accident. Planning of round of shots, holes correctly

drilled, direction logged, weight of explosive suitable for good fragmentation are the

few of the steps necessary to ensure its safe use and if the shots are not properly

designed can result in misfires, early ignition and flying rocks. No person is allowed to

use explosives without being properly trained in its handling. In the mine a large

numbers of heavy vehicles were in operation and the roads were not proper for

haulage purpose. The haulage roads were not even and were not wide enough for the

crossing purpose and hence the chances of hazards are very high. The main hazards

arising from the use large earth moving vehicles are incompetent drivers, brake

failure, lack of all-around visibility from the driver position, vehicle movements

particularly reversing, roll over, and maintenance. Those most at risk are the driver

and pedestrians likely to be struck by the vehicle, and drivers of smaller vehicles,

which cannot be seen from the cabs of large vehicles. Edge protection is always

necessary to prevent inadvertent movement over the edge of roadway or a bench.

Seatbelt will protect driver in case of roll. Good maintenance and regular testing are

necessary to reduce the possibility of brake failure. Access to the vehicles should

always be restricted to those people necessary for the work in hand. The use of

personal protective equipment and proper arrangements is essential to check if the

person is wearing protective equipment or not. The personal protective equipment

includes helmet, non-skid safety boots, safety glasses, earmuffs etc. The required

personal protective equipment should be provided and used in a manner that protects

the individual from injury. Few minor injuries which can be prevented are slip, trip, or

fall hazards; hazards due to rock falls and collapse of unstable rocks, atmosphere

containing toxic or combustible gases; protects from chemical or hazardous material

ORDINARY EARTH/BRICK EARTH MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

43

etc. A disaster management plan should be prepared for taking care of for any

disaster. Other risks which are included in this category are noise, as it occurs and it

can lead to permanent disability. There are problems related to road traffic in and out

issuers; inappropriate exposure of moving machines; mechanical failure and because

of large number of moving trucks and dumpers there is large quantity of dust present

in roadways which affects the operators and can lead to accidents causing injury.

They are in acceptable range because of precautions measures taken but no step is

taken it can cause hazard hence steps should be taken to reduce the hazards such as

for dust suppression system should be installed. Other problems like occurrence of

lots of mosquitoes in the area due to unhygienic conditions which affect the human

health causing malaria, dengue etc. and causing a person to be hospitalized.

Disaster in the mines like fires, explosions, entrapments, and inundations can occur

any time, so emergency preparedness is a must. The Disaster management plan and

risk assessment in the mines will include all sorts of above mentioned emergency and

the extent that this plan will be implemented will depend on the nature and scope of

the emergency. The basic purpose of Disaster management plan and risk assessment

to ensure that mine rescue and recovery activities are conducted safely for rescuer

and survivors. According to MMR act 1961 a standard operating procedure should be

drawn for involvement different category of staff and officers. The SOP should be

updated periodically to reduce the chaos and response to the emergency should be

quick and smooth. The responsible person should be familiar with his responsibility

during the mock drills. One or two standby should be there to replace the person in

Emergency situation. Rescue operations should not include the survivors for any

assistance.

First Information of Disaster / Emergency should go to the attendance clerk on duty.

Duties of attendance Clerk (Emergency Siren) the attendance clerk or other

designated person should on getting information of major accident, sound a hooter or

a siren immediately declaring a state of emergency at the mine and then to contact

the manager and on his advice to call key personnel using the information listed in the

Emergency Organization Chart. It is important that all telephone calls are recorded in

a telephone log book. Duties of Other Officials should be displayed and handed over

ORDINARY EARTH/BRICK EARTH MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

44

to all concerned. Copy the same should be kept at Manager’s Office for ready

reference. Establishment of Control Room at Unit Level, Area Level and Company

Level is essential. Control Room should keep the contact information about –

Company Manager

Company owner/ Administrative officer.

District Administration

Govt. Hospitals in Nearby Localities,

Private Nursing Homes of Localities

Attendance roaster and duty charge register should be properly maintained so the

record of missing people can be obtained.

25. DETAILS OF THE OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH ISSUE IN THE DISTRICT:

The persons employed in the mines are exposed to a number of hazards at work

which adversely affect their health. Some of the important ones are dust, noise, heat,

humidity, vibration etc. In recent times, there has been increasing awareness among

mining industry and the workers about occupational diseases like Pneumoconiosis,

Silicosis, Tuberculosis, Hearing Impairment etc. caused by exposure to health hazards

at work. Almost all occupational diseases can be prevented by adopting proper

occupational health measures and engineering control on airborne dust pollution at

workplace. Occupational Diseases in mines or industry is required to conduct medical

examinations and health surveillance of workers as per the provisions of Mines Act.

The present efforts of mines management are concentrated on detection of silicosis,

Pneumoconiosis and other notified diseases. The essential features of health

surveillance programme required to be carried out in mines are:

(a) Initial Medical Examination of persons to be conducted at the time of

appointment.

(b) Periodic Medical Examination or General physical examination to be conducted

once in every year.

(c) Maintenance of medical records and health services till the person is in service.

(d) The Details of Tuberculosis cases in last 5 years is given below

26. PLANTATION GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT IN RESPECT OF LEASE

ALREADY GRANTED IN THE DISTRICT:

During mining operation green belt development through plantation is most important

for environment safe guard, which should be supervision by mining department.

Different type of species should be planted near lease periphery to keep environment

clean at post mining period through reclamation. Where specific usefulness of land

could be decided, a forestation is normally planned through the site could have been

considered for better possibilities of land use.

27. CONCLUSION:

Since it is an interim report, to meet the requirement of minerals in the present

scenario, it is proposed to identify such potential areas at certain interval and get the

data bank of DSR to be updated. The insitu mining activity in any area is on one hand

bring revenue and employment (Direct and indirect) and on other hand if not done

properly potential pollution and ecological imbalance increases, the ability of the

ecosystem can also be reduced. Particulate matter transported by the wind as a result

of excavations, blasting, transportation of materials, heavy equipments used raise

these particulate levels; and Gas emissions from the combustion of fuels in stationary

and mobile sources, explosions, and mineral processing. All these activities indirectly

affected the biodiversity of area. Larger potential and smaller areas have been

identified in Mayurbhanj district on the basis of geological study carried out during

ORDINARY EARTH/BRICK EARTH MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

46

field observation, which can be considered for mining concession after all the

parameters for statutory clearances are verified by consulting with concerned

authorities.

12

encountered in the district are Granite Gneiss, Quartzite, Orthoquartzite, Arkose,

Shale, Phyllite, Gabbro, Px-granite. The geology of the district is constituted by the

Similipal complex at its central part belonging the Archaean age, unconformably lying

over Singhbhum Granite and Banded Iron Formation (BIF). It consists of three

alternate bands of volcano sedimentary units uniquely disposed in a ring like circular

pattern formed under sub- marine conditions. Baripada Beds outcrops of tertiary

formation occur around Baripada town. These comprise stratified clay and sand with

marly clay or limestone interbands. Important mineral resources include iron, copper,

itanium, vanadium, chinaclay, nickel, kyanite ,quartz, talc, steatite ,soapstone and

bauxite.

4.1 Physiography & Geomorphology:

Mayurbhanj district presents diverse physiographic features, Physiographically the

study area can be divided into 3 categories. The first physiographic unit of the district

is high mountain ranges, Similipal Complex being at its central part (Figure 1). The

mountain ranges comprise mainly of highland plateau and valleys with intrusive

running through them. The second physiographic unit is Tertiary Plain occurring in the

eastern part of the district. The third physiographic unit is Alluvial Plain which lies

partly in Rasgovindpur, Morada, Samakhunta, Betnoti, Baripada, Badasahi and

Suliapada Blocks. The highest elevation of about 559m at Bahalda near Similpal hill

and higher elevations of the district, due to scarp landforms some waterfalls are

observed in the district. The general slope of the district is from north to south.

Geologically the area is comprised with Archean granites and gneisses.

Geomorphologically the district is divided into 3 units:

i) The denudational hills with moderate to high slope occurring in the western part of

the district.

ii) Dissected pediments having gentle slope.

4.3 Mineral Resources:

The earliest known geological survey in Mayurbhanj dates back to 1903, when P.N.

Bose brought to light the extensive iron-ore deposits of high quantity on the

Gorumahisani and Suleipat hills in Bamanghaty Sub-Division. These deposits were

considered to be almost inexhaustible and were pronounced to be of excellent quality,

perhaps second to none in the whole of Asia by the famous American and English

experts like M/s Perin, Weld and Colonel Staddart, who visited these deposits during

1905-06. This discovery was a momentous one as the steel plant of the Tata Iron &

Steel Co. at Jamshedpur was entirely based on the exploitation of these deposits. By

1915, important discoveries of Steatite near Lulung and placer gold from the sands of

Subarnarekha, Kharkhai and Barhai rivers had been made. The placer gold deposits

were being worked by M/s J.B. Bettie of Calcutta, Mr. V.G. Piggot of Ghatsila and the

Mayurbhanj Prospecting Concession Syndicate.

Gold: The mid-Archaean Gorumahisani-Badampahar schist belt composed of basic

ultrabasic, volcanic rocks and volcanogenic sediments. This belt has been

prognosticated as a rift-type of volcanic dominated one and is highly potential for

economic grade gold mineralization. Likely targets include: a) auriferous quartz veins

close to the contact of sulphide chert volcanics, b) sheared and sulphidised Fe-rich

tholeiite with anomalous copper, c) epigenetic vein type of mineralization and BIF

volcanic association, and d) sulphidic conglomerate resting over the basic volcanics.

Placer gold occurrence are known from rivers and stream of Mayurbhanj district. An

area of about 5 square kilometers of alluvium at the headwaters of Sapgora and Borai

rivers near Kudersai was indicated as promising.

Iron: Bose discovered iron ore deposits in Gorumahisani and Badampahar in the

eastwhile princely state of Mayurbhanj (now Mayurbhanj District). Gorumahisani

deposits were investigated by Perin & Weld (1905). Gorumahisani- Badampahar-

Suleipat deposits are associated with banded hematite / magnetite grunerite and BHJ.

associated with gabbro- anorthosite suite of rocks contain vanadium and titanium.

Deposits of vanadium-magnetite occur in association with gabbro-Anorthosite suite of

rocks in the precambrian metamorphites. Vanadium bearing magnetite belts are :-

(a) Rairangpur – Bisoi belt (Kumardubi, Betjharan Amdabeda)

(b) Bisoi – Joshipur belt (Mayurbeka, Kesham, Sialnoi)

(c) Baripada – Podadiha belt (Andipur, Bahalda)

Pyrophyllite : is mainly used as a high grade ceramic product, electric insulator and

refractory material. The comp. is Al2O34SiO2 H20. It is formed as an alteration product

of feldspar. Pyrophyllite occurrences are reported at Kankrani, Jashipur,

Gorumahisani, Bangriposhi and Manada in Mayurbhnaj dist. Ichinda, Khairakocha,

Jamukunda, Nakulkocha, Kapadiha, Dunguridiha, Maheshpur, Kashidiha, Sagragora

and Pokpoka. Dimension stone of the district are granite, granite-gneiss, migmatites,

syenite, gabbro, anorthosite, charnockite, leptynite, pyroxene granulite, dolerite,

pyroxinite and dunite etc.

Bauxite: In Similipal complex (Mayurbhanj) aluminous laterite/ Bauxite are observed

around 1000 m AMSL. The spongy aluminous laterite/bauxite occurs as sheets and

boulders occupying the flat-topped hills made up of metavolcanics. Both

ultramafics and metavolcanics are lateritised giving rise to nickeliferous laterite and

aluminous laterite respectively.

China Clay clay like material approximating the mineral Kaolinite (Al2O3, 2SIO2,

2H2O). China clay is found to occur in a long belt stretching from Singhbhum to

Mayurbhanj. Badampahar-Joshipur- Karanjia – Ramachandrapur belt is the most

important china-clay producing area of the state. The important deposits in

Mayurbhanj district are found near Jashipur, Chanchbani, Dumuria, Jamda, Kodadiha,

Jamkeswar and Thakurmunda. China clay has many industrial applications as filler in

paper, textile, rubber, in the manufacture of potteries, ceramics, sanitary wares,

glazed tiles, white cement, insecticides, paints, cosmetics, refractory bricks etc. Soap

stone and Steatite Asbestos is mined from Mayurbhanj area.

5.1 River System

The Budhabalanga River (also called Balanga River) flows through the districts

of Mayurbhanj & Balasore and finally reached Bay of Bengal. The Budhabalanga, rises

from Similipal hills and plunges through Barehipani Falls, the second-highest waterfall

in India, located in Similipal National Park. It then flows in a northerly direction up to

the village Karanjiapal in Bangiriposi police-station. Thereafter, it turns to the north-

east and flows along the railway track up to the village Jhankapahadi. There it

changes its course to the south and meets the Katra nala. The other tributaries are

the Palpala and the Chipat both of which are hill streams rising from the Similipal hills.

Then the river passes through Baripada. It later flows through Balasore district and

into the Bay of Bengal. The Budhabalanga is about 175 kilometres (109 mi) long and

has a total catchment area of 4,840 square kilometres (1,870 sq mi). Its major

tributaries are the Sona, Gangahar, and the Katra. Burhabalang and its tributaries, viz.

Sona Nadi, Amrutia Nadi, Gangahar Nadi drain almost round the year in the present

area. Sona Nadi receives the watery effluent load through a nalah (Sankh nalah) from

the Balgopalpur Industrial Estate and flows from west to east. Amrutia Nadi flows

from NNW to SSE and carries the waste water load of East Coast. Subarnrekha

originate from Nagri of Jharkhand and then enter into Mayurbhanj district, very less

portion of the river flows within Mayurbhanj district, Major portion of Subarnarekha

River passes in the Balasore district. Another river Jambhira runs in Mayurbhanj

district then enters into Balasore district and Renamed as river Jalaka flows into Bay

of Bengal. Other small rivers run in this district like River Khadkhai originates from

Tunhgru R.F. and plunges through Suleipat Dam (Khadkhai Reserviour). It then runs

towards Rairangpur, Bahalda, Tiringi area of western direction of Mayurbhanj district

and finally reached at River Subarnarekha. River Deo rises from Similipal R.F. and

runs towards western part of the district and flows through Karanjia area and then

joins with Baitarani River. River Khairabandhan originates from Similipal R.F. and

flows towards western part of the Mayurbhanj district through Jashipur, Raruan,

Sukruli area of district and then joins with River Baitarani This river maintains a

sluggish flow in the pre-monsoon period, but swells menacingly with the onset of

monsoon often flooding large tracts. Another small tributary named as Kanhu starts

from River Khadkhai and branched into Jalapa, Ghagera nala meets at Jharbeda area

of Mayurbhanj District.

6.2 Agriculture Land:

Mayurbhanj is surrounded by no of forest areas as well as Rocky Mountains. People

used to cultivate Paddy in most parts of the hill slopes and in plain lands. Most of the

cultivators grow short duration local paddy in the un-bonded upland during Kharif

season. The crop suffers moisture stress at different stages due to inadequate rainfall.

The primary objective of Agriculture Department is increase of production as well as

productivity of major crops like paddy, groundnut, mustard, Mung, Biri & vegetables

which is widely covered in this District in both Kharif & Rabi season. Another key

objective is the all round development of the farming community of the District. The

Deputy Director of Agriculture is the head of office so far as agriculture is concerned &

he is the Principal Agriculture Officer of the District. Under him there are 5 District

Agriculture Officers & the block under them. As already pointed out, that agriculture is

the main livelihood of the people in Mayurbhanj District. It is therefore also

designated as the food bowl of Odisha. Rice is the principal crop grown in this district,

followed by other cereals, pulses, oilseeds, vegetables, spices and sugarcane. The

agricultural statistics for the district is shown in subsequent tables below:

6.3 Horticulture Land:

The primary objective of Horticulture Department is increase of production as well as

productivity of major fruits like Mango, Guava, Citrus etc., which is widely covered in

this District. Another key objective is the all round development of the farming

community of the District. The Deputy Director of Horticulture is the head of office.

7.0 SURFACE WATER AND GROUND WATER SCENARIO OF THE DISTRICT

7.1 Hydrogeology

Distribution of Saline / fresh water aquifers:

The occurrence of fresh water aquifers in coastal tract of Mayurbhanj restricted by

two important factors‐ (i) Occurrence of hard rocks in the western side and (ii) Salinity

hazard problems in the eastern part. The water bearing formation of the area can be

divided into (a) areas underlain by fractured, fissured and consolidated basement rock

formations (b) areas underlain by recent unconsolidated alluvial formations.

(a) Consolidated Formation - These are most predominant rock types occurring in

the undulating plains of the district. Groundwater occurs under unconfined condition

in the shallow weathered zone and circulates through fractures and joints. The

thickness of the weathered zone varies from 3 to 35 m. Depth of open wells in these

formations varies from 5 to 14 m below ground level.

(b) Unconsolidated alluvial formations - The unconsolidated formations consists of

laterite and alluvium. Laterites at places are highly consolidated and used as building

stones. The laterites have high degree of effective porosity and form potential

aquifers commonly tapped in dug wells. The alluvium comprises an admixture of clay,

silt, sand and calcareous concretions in varying proportions. The coarse sediments like

sand and gravel form the main repository of ground water. Ground water occurs

under both unconfined condition in shallow aquifers and in confined condition in

deeper parts.

7.2 Depth of water level:

The depth to water level map for pre and post monsoon periods 2011 are prepared

based on the ground water monitoring data of 77 Nos of National Hydrograph

Stations of C.G.W.B. monitored during the month of April and November 2006 are

presented below respectively. The pre and post monsoon depth to water levels in the

district range from 3.54 to 14.50 m below ground level and 1.39 to 8.20 m below

ground level respectively. It is observed that during pre monsoon about 75% of the

total areas show the water level varying between 5 to 10 m below ground level.

During post monsoon nearly 60% of the area has water levels within 2 to 5 m,

while the rest part has between 0 to 2 and 4 to 6 m below ground levels. In localized

part of Morada, Kaptipada and Thakurmunda the water level is > 5 mt.

7.3 Ground Water Quality

The chemical quality of ground water in the district has been assessed on the basis of

chemical analysis of ground water samples collected during groundwater monitoring,

Hydrogeological surveys and groundwater exploration. The results of the chemical

analysis are presented in Table.

7.4 Ground Water Development

In the rural areas the entire water supply is dependent on ground water. Ground

water development is mainly carried out in the district through dug wells and Hand

pumps. In general dug wells are of 2 m diameter and the depth ranges between 8 to

15 m depending on the thickness of the weathered zone, tapping the shallow aquifer

in the weathered zone and uppermost slice of the basement. Large number of dug

wells used for drinking water is under private ownership for which there is no reliable

data. Over the years Mark II/ Mark III hand pumps are being drilled in large numbers

for ground water development. These hand pumps have the following two major

advantages i) less susceptible to contamination from surface sources and ii) tap

fractures between 20-60m depth which have been found to be less affected by

seasonal water level fluctuation and thus have lesser chances of failure even during

extreme summer. Over all the present level of ground water development is only

27.21 percent in the district with the maximum in Badasahi Block viz. 64.65% and

minimum in Bijatala Block. Block wise development figure indicate that all the blocks

come under the white categories. Thus there is ample scope for development of

groundwater in the district to augment irrigation potentials through suitable ground

water abstraction structure

7.5 Ground Water Related Issue and Problems

Some of key ground water related issues are

I. Locating suitable sites for bore wells

II. Suitable design of dug wells and hand pumps

III. Taking up artificial recharge projects to augment the resource availability in

IV. Optimal development of irrigation potential by developing ground water available

for future uses.

V. Creating public awareness for conserving ground water through awareness

camps, NGO’s and mass media.

7.8 RECOMMENDATIONS:

1) Intensive groundwater exploration should be taken up to delineate deeper

potential water saturated fracture zones and to compute aquifer parameter.

2) Large scale planning for ground water development should be preceded by

intensive hydrogeological and geophysical surveys aided by remote sensing

studies.

3) Effective measures may be taken to conserve the surface run off by contour

bonding at suitable sites. Also proper maintenance of reservoir, tanks and spring

channels by periodical disiltation should be carried out.

4) Existing dug-wells should be deepened to tap the maximum saturated thickness of

the weathered mantle or vertical bores may be drilled through the bottom to

enhance the well yield.

5) Energy station of wells already constructed should be stepped up to ensure

optimal utilization of the irrigation potential already created.

6) The farmers should be educated through agricultural extension services fro

adopting suitable cropping pattern for optimal utilization of available groundwater

resources.

7) Programmes for artificial recharge may also be taken up for augmentation of

groundwater through construction of percolation tanks, subsurface dykes, and

check dams and through contour bonding etc.

8) An intensive network of groundwater monitoring stations are required to be

31

established in the command areas of irrigation projects to monitor the changes in

groundwater regime consequent on application of surface water irrigation.

15. QUALITY/GRADE OF MINERAL AVAILABLE IN THE DISTRICT:

Rocks and Minerals found in Mayurbhanj District:-

The district is endowed with various types of mineral resources like Iron ore, China

Clay, Quartz; Soap stone, Granite, Manganese, etc. Due to presence of huge

mineral resources, mining activities have been undertaken in a big scale. Bahalda,

Jashipur, Karanjia, Koshorpur, Bisoi, Gorumahisani and Rairangpur are the places in

the district having deposits of the above mineral products. The availability of

mineral deposits is given in the table below. The district’s mineral deposits have not

been utilized to maximum extent for industrial purpose. Some of the items like

CHINA CLAY MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

36

China clay, Soap stone, Asbestos, etc. can be used in small scale sector. So the

available resources of the district need harnessing properly for industrial and

productive use. China clay deposits of the district are very much suitable for various

industrial uses.

16. USE OF MINERAL

Uses of China clay:-

Kaolin, also called china clay, soft white clay that is an essential ingredient in the

manufacture of china and porcelain and is widely used in the making of paper, rubber,

paint, and many other products. Kaolin is named after the hill in China (Kao-ling) from

which it was mined for centuries. In its natural state kaolin is a white, soft powder

consisting principally of the mineral kaolinite, which, under the electron microscope, is

seen to consist of roughly hexagonal, platy crystals ranging in size from about 0.1

micrometer to 10 micrometers or even larger. Kaolin as found in nature usually

contains varying amounts of other minerals such as muscovite, quartz and feldspar. In

addition, crude kaolin is frequently stained yellow by iron hydroxide pigments. It is

often necessary to bleach the clay chemically to remove the iron pigment and to wash

it with water to remove the other minerals in order to prepare kaolin for commercial

use. When kaolin is mixed with water in the range of 20 to 35 percent, it becomes

plastic (i.e., it can be molded under pressure). Approximately 40 percent of the kaolin

produced is used in the filling and coating of paper. In filling, the kaolin is mixed with

the cellulose fibre and forms an integral part of the paper sheet to give it body,

colour, opacity, and printability. In coating, the kaolin is plated along with an adhesive

on the paper’s surface to give gloss, colour, high opacity, and greater printability.

Kaolin is used extensively in the ceramic industry, where its high fusion temperature

and white burning characteristics makes it particularly suitable for the manufacture

of white ware (china), porcelain, and refractories. The absence of any iron, alkalies, or

alkaline earths in the molecular structure of kaolinite confers upon it these desirable

ceramic properties. In the manufacture of whiteware the kaolin is usually mixed with

approximately equal amounts of silica and feldspar and a somewhat smaller amount

of a plastic light-burning clay known as ball clay. Kaolin is generally used alone in the

manufacture of refractories.

Substantial tonnages of kaolin are used for filling rubber to improve its mechanical

CHINA CLAY MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

37

strength and resistance to abrasion. For this purpose, the clay used must be

extremely pure kaolinite and exceedingly fine grained. Kaolin is also used as an

extender and flattening agent in paints. It is frequently used in adhesives for paper to

control the penetration into the paper. Kaolin is an important ingredient in ink, organic

plastics, some cosmetics, and many other products where it’s very fine particle size,

whiteness, chemical inertness, and absorption properties give it particular value.

17. DEMAND AND SUPPLY OF THE MINERAL IN THE LAST THREE YEARS:

As such there are huge infrastructural and industrial activities are coming up by State

govt., Govt. of India & PSUs under “Make in India” programme. The main raw

minerals for the above activities and considering the last three years actual

productions with respect to the requirement of the state has a huge gap. It is

proposed to start the production from larger block/area to at least double the

production of the district which will enhance the revenue of the district and also

support the livelihood of the local people.

20. DETAILS OF ECO-SENSITIVE AREA, IF ANY, IN THE DISTRICT:

Eco sensitive zone of Similipal wild life sanctuary is located within the district.

21. IMPACTS OF MINING ON ENVIRONMENT:

The most important environmental impact of mining projects is:-

Transportation sources:

Transportation sources of air pollutants include heavy vehicles used in excavation

operations, cars that transport personnel at the mining site, and trucks that transport

mining materials. The level of polluting emissions from these sources depends on the

fuel and conditions of the equipment. Even though individual emissions can be

relatively small, collectively these emissions can be of real concern. In addition,

mobile sources are a major source of particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and volatile

organic compounds that contribute significantly to the formation of ground-level ozone

Fugitive emissions:

Common sources of fugitive emissions include: storage and handling of materials;

mine processing; fugitive dust, blasting, construction activities, and roadways

associated with mining activities; leach pads, and tailing piles and ponds; and waste

rock piles. Sources and characteristics of fugitive emissions dust in mining operations

vary in each case, as do their impacts. Impacts are difficult to predict and calculate

but should be considered since they could be a significant source of hazardous air

pollutants.

Noise and vibration:

Noise pollution associated with mining may include noise from vehicle engines,

loading and unloading of rock into steel dumpers, chutes, power generation, and

other sources. Cumulative impacts of shoveling, ripping, drilling, blasting, transport,

crushing, grinding, and stock-piling can significantly affect wildlife and nearby

residents.

Vibrations are associated with many types of equipment used in mining operations,

but blasting is considered the major source. Vibration has affected the stability of

infrastructures, buildings, and homes of people living near large-scale open-pit mining

operations. According to a study commissioned by the European Union in 2000:

CHINA CLAY MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

39

“Shocks and vibrations as a result of blasting in connection with mining can lead to

noise, dust and collapse of structures in surrounding inhabited areas. The animal life,

on which the local population may depend, might also be disturbed.”

22. REMEDIAL MEASURES TO MITIGATE THE IMPACT OF MINING ON THE

ENVIRONMENT:

1. Following are the remedial measures to mitigate the in Water sprinkling on haul

road, loading and unloading points.

2. Plantation along the safety zone and dump area.

3. Providing dust masks to workers.

4. Regular monitoring of ambient air quality.

5. Provision of air conditioned cabin of Excavators and Dumpers.

6. Regular and proper maintenance of working equipments.

7. Periodic medical examination of the workers and organize medical camp in the area.

8. Use Milli Second Delay Detonator in blasting operation.

9. Provisions of ear plug to the workers.

10. Regular training programme to the mines workers and operators.

23. RECLAMATION OF MINED OUT AREA

Necessity of Reclamation & Rehabilitation:

Exponential growth in mineral production since 1980.

Mining activities causes physical, chemical, biological and socio-economic changes in

the area.

Surface mining activities disturb the original land profile.

In India, mineral production comes mostly from opencast mines & hence land

degradation problems are of serious concern.

An intricate, in-depth and site-specified techniques involving integrated approach is

necessary.

Reclamation has three vital roles:

i. Reclamation – Reclamation means return the mined-out land with useful life. It

implies restoring the land to a form and productivity that is useful and inconformity

with a prior land use. Reclamation always may not be a single- phase operation.

CHINA CLAY MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

40

ii. Rehabilitation – Rehabilitation is to bring batch the degraded land to a normal

stage by a special treatment. It is a process of taking some mitigation measures for

disturbed environmental condition created through mining activities.

iii. Restoration – Restoration is the process of returning the mined out land being

fit to an acceptable environmental condition. However, the general acceptable

meaning of the term is bringing the disturbed land to its original form. Restoration is

often used to indicate that biological properties of soil are put back to what they were.

This is a rate phenomenon.

iv. When active mining ceases, mine facilities and the site are reclaimed and closed.

The goal of mine site reclamation and closure should always be to return the site to a

condition that most resembles the pre-mining condition. Mines that are notorious for

their immense impact on the environment often made impacts only during the closure

phase, when active mining operations ceased. These impacts can persist for decades

and even centuries.

Mine reclamation and closure plans must describe in sufficient detail how the mining

company will restore the site to a condition that most resembles pre-mining

environmental quality; how it will prevent – in perpetuity – the release of toxic

contaminants from various mine facilities (such as abandoned open pits and tailings

impoundments); and how funds will be set aside to insure that the costs of

reclamation and closure will be paid for.

Proposed future land use after reclamation:

a. Forestry, b. Recreation, c. Water Reservoir, d. Crop Land,

e. residential/Commercial, f. Fish & wildlife Habitat, g. Undeveloped Land,

h. Grazing/Pasture Land

Statutory requirement:

As per the Mineral Conservation Development Rule, 2017, the following rules must be

bare in mind by the mine owner/agent/manager, which is a part of reclamation

activities –

Rule 22, Mine Closure Plan

Rule 23, Submission of Progressive Mine Closure Plan Rule 24, Submission of Final

Mine Closure Plan

Rule 26, Responsibility of holder of mining lease Rule 27, Financial Assurance

CHINA CLAY MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

41

Rule 35, Sustainable Mining

24. RISK ASSESSMENT AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN:

Mining activity because of the very nature of the operation, complexity of the

systems, procedures and methods always involves some amount of hazards. Hazard

identification and risk analysis is carried for identification of undesirable events that

can leads to a hazard, the analysis of hazard mechanism by which this undesirable

event could occur and usually the estimation of extent, magnitude and likelihood of

harmful effects. The activities which can cause high risk related to face stability and

the person blasting the shots. It was observed that on a working face of the mine,

there were large cracks and unsupported rocks were present, which can lead to a

serious hazard and injure workers engaged in loading operation and machineries

because of rock falls or slides. This type of condition turn out because improper

dressing of the bench and improper supervision. To avoid the hazards due to fall of

rocks the face must be examined, made suitable for working and the remedial

measures must be taken to make it safe if there is any doubt that a collapse could

take place. Working of the face should be in the direction taking into account the

geology of the area such that face and quarry side remain stable. Another major risk

identified in mines is due to the firing of explosive by an unqualified person. In the

mines there is problem of fly rocks and the village is located close to the mine and so

it is rated high as it can affect may people. Explosives by nature have the potential for

the most serious and catastrophic accident. Planning of round of shots, holes correctly

drilled, direction logged, weight of explosive suitable for good fragmentation are the

few of the steps necessary to ensure its safe use and if the shots are not properly

designed can result in misfires, early ignition and flying rocks. No person is allowed to

use explosives without being properly trained in its handling. In the mine a large

numbers of heavy vehicles were in operation and the roads were not proper for

haulage purpose. The haulage roads were not even and were not wide enough for the

crossing purpose and hence the chances of hazards are very high. The main hazards

arising from the use large earth moving vehicles are incompetent drivers, brake

failure, lack of all-around visibility from the driver position, vehicle movements

particularly reversing, roll over, and maintenance. Those most at risk are the driver

and pedestrians likely to be struck by the vehicle, and drivers of smaller vehicles,

CHINA CLAY MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

42

which cannot be seen from the cabs of large vehicles. Edge protection is always

necessary to prevent inadvertent movement over the edge of roadway or a bench.

Seatbelt will protect driver in case of roll. Good maintenance and regular testing are

necessary to reduce the possibility of brake failure. Access to the vehicles should

always be restricted to those people necessary for the work in hand. The use of

personal protective equipment and proper arrangements is essential to check if the

person is wearing protective equipment or not. The personal protective equipment

includes helmet, non-skid safety boots, safety glasses, earmuffs etc. The required

personal protective equipment should be provided and used in a manner that protects

the individual from injury. Few minor injuries which can be prevented are slip, trip, or

fall hazards; hazards due to rock falls and collapse of unstable rocks, atmosphere

containing toxic or combustible gases; protects from chemical or hazardous material

etc. A disaster management plan should be prepared for taking care of for any

disaster. Other risks which are included in this category are noise, as it occurs and it

can lead to permanent disability. There are problems related to road traffic in and out

issuers; inappropriate exposure of moving machines; mechanical failure and because

of large number of moving trucks and dumpers there is large quantity of dust present

in roadways which affects the operators and can lead to accidents causing injury.

They are in acceptable range because of precautions measures taken but no step is

taken it can cause hazard hence steps should be taken to reduce the hazards such as

for dust suppression system should be installed. Other problems like occurrence of

lots of mosquitoes in the area due to unhygienic conditions which affect the human

health causing malaria, dengue etc. and causing a person to be hospitalized.

Disaster in the mines like fires, explosions, entrapments, and inundations can occur

any time, so emergency preparedness is a must. The Disaster management plan and

risk assessment in the mines will include all sorts of above mentioned emergency and

the extent that this plan will be implemented will depend on the nature and scope of

the emergency. The basic purpose of Disaster management plan and risk assessment

to ensure that mine rescue and recovery activities are conducted safely for rescuer

and survivors. According to MMR act 1961 a standard operating procedure should be

drawn for involvement different category of staff and officers. The SOP should be

CHINA CLAY MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

43

updated periodically to reduce the chaos and response to the emergency should be

quick and smooth. The responsible person should be familiar with his responsibility

during the mock drills. One or two standby should be there to replace the person in

Emergency situation. Rescue operations should not include the survivors for any

assistance.

First Information of Disaster / Emergency should go to the attendance clerk on duty.

Duties of attendance Clerk (Emergency Siren) the attendance clerk or other

designated person should on getting information of major accident, sound a hooter or

a siren immediately declaring a state of emergency at the mine and then to contact

the manager and on his advice to call key personnel using the information listed in the

Emergency Organization Chart. It is important that all telephone calls are recorded in

a telephone log book. Duties of Other Officials should be displayed and handed over

to all concerned. Copy the same should be kept at Manager’s Office for ready

reference. Establishment of Control Room at Unit Level, Area Level and Company

Level is essential. Control Room should keep the contact information about –

Company Manager

Company owner/ Administrative officer.

District Administration

Govt. Hospitals in Nearby Localities,

Private Nursing Homes of Localities

Attendance roaster and duty charge register should be properly maintained so the

record of missing people can be obtained.

25. DETAILS OF THE OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH ISSUE IN THE DISTRICT:

The persons employed in the mines are exposed to a number of hazards at work

which adversely affect their health. Some of the important ones are dust, noise, heat,

humidity, vibration etc. In recent times, there has been increasing awareness among

mining industry and the workers about occupational diseases like Pneumoconiosis,

Silicosis, Tuberculosis, Hearing Impairment etc. caused by exposure to health hazards

at work. Almost all occupational diseases can be prevented by adopting proper

CHINA CLAY MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

44

occupational health measures and engineering control on airborne dust pollution at

workplace. Occupational Diseases in mines or industry is required to conduct medical

examinations and health surveillance of workers as per the provisions of Mines Act.

The present efforts of mines management are concentrated on detection of silicosis,

Pneumoconiosis and other notified diseases. The essential features of health

surveillance programme required to be carried out in mines are:

(a) Initial Medical Examination of persons to be conducted at the time of

appointment.

(b) Periodic Medical Examination or General physical examination to be conducted

once in every year.

(c) Maintenance of medical records and health services till the person is in service.

26. PLANTATION GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT IN RESPECT OF LEASE

ALREADY GRANTED IN THE DISTRICT:

During mining operation green belt development through plantation is most important

for environment safe guard, which should be supervision by mining department.

Different type of species should be planted near lease periphery to keep environment

clean at post mining period through reclamation. Where specific usefulness of land

CHINA CLAY MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

45

could be decided, a forestation is normally planned through the site could have been

considered for better possibilities of land use.

27. CONCLUSION:

Since it is an interim report, to meet the requirement of minerals in the present

scenario, it is proposed to identify such potential areas at certain interval and get the

data bank of DSR to be updated. The insitu mining activity in any area is on one hand

bring revenue and employment (Direct and indirect) and on other hand if not done

properly potential pollution and ecological imbalance increases, the ability of the

ecosystem can also be reduced. Particulate matter transported by the wind as a result

of excavations, blasting, transportation of materials, heavy equipments used raise

these particulate levels; and Gas emissions from the combustion of fuels in stationary

and mobile sources, explosions, and mineral processing. All these activities indirectly

affected the biodiversity of area. Larger potential and smaller areas have been

identified in Mayurbhanj district on the basis of geological study carried out during

field observation, which can be considered for mining concession after all the

parameters for statutory clearances are verified by consulting with concerned

authorities.

PREAMBLE

Odisha is the major mineral reach in India. Mayurbhanj is a unique district in Odisha

lies on the northern most part of the state with varied mineral resources. In

pursuance of the order of Hon’ble Supreme Court Petition (C) No. 19628-19629 of

2009, dated 27th Feb. 2012 in the matter of Deepak Kumar Vs State of Haryana and

others etc., prior environmental clearance has now become mandatory for mining of

minor minerals irrespective of the area of Mining Lease. And also in view of the

Hon’ble National Green Tribunal, order dated the 13th Jan. 2015 the matter regarding

Road metal/stone, Sand, Brick earth, & burrowed earth cutting for Road Construction

has to take prior Environmental Clearance for Mining Lease area more or less than 5

hectares also suggested making a policy on Environmental Clearance for minor

minerals lease and leases in cluster. As per MOEF & CC Notification S.O.-1533(E)

dated 14th Sept. 2006 and subsequent MoEF & CC Notification S.O. 141(E) dated 15th

Jan. 2016, District Environment Impact Assessment Authority (DEIAA) & District level

Expert Appraisal Committee (DEAC) has been formed for Category –B2 Minor Minerals

having area less than or equal to 5 ha. In compliance to the notification issued by the

Ministry of Environment and Forest and Climate Change Notification no. S.O.3611 (E)

New Delhi dated 25-07-2018; the preparation of district survey report of road

metal/stone mining has been prepared in accordance with Clause II of Appendix X of the

notification.

Keeping in view of the prior information of Odisha Minor Mineral Concession Rule

2004, (OMMCR -2004) the mining operation for minor minerals were carried out in

unscientific manner. Identifying this fact in exercise of power, Conferred by Section 15

by Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act 1957 as amended in 2015

and all other powers enabling it in that behalf, the Mining & Geology Department,

Govt. of Odisha framed the aforementioned rule. Further, this report will act as a

compendium of available mineral resources, geological set up, environmental and

ecological set up of the district and based on data of various departments like

Revenue, Water Resources, Forest, Geology and Mining in the district as well as

statistical data uploaded by various state Government departments for preparation for

district survey report.

mineralized area coming under safety zone eco-sensitive zone, mining activity only

confined out of safety zone of eco-sensitive zone. The mining activity in the district is

not only restricted to minor minerals i.e. of sand, stone, granite and brick clays.

Altogether there are leases of Iron-ore (hematite), vanadiferous and titaniferous

magnetic, chaina clay, galena (lead ore), Kyanite, asbestos, steatite (soap stone) and

quartzite constitute the principal mineral resources of Mayurbhanj district, of these the

iron-ore deposits of Gorumahisani, Badampahar and Suleipat, which have been

exploited for a period of about half a century. Stone, granite and sand which has been

granted to the district is regulated as per minerals concession rules of Odisha. There

is no lease of major mineral in the district. At present Leases of stone, sand and bricks

making units are operational in the district. Stone chips, granite stones, ordinary sand

encountered in the district are Granite Gneiss, Quartzite, Orthoquartzite, Arkose,

Shale, Phyllite, Gabbro, Px-granite. The geology of the district is constituted by the

Similipal complex at its central part belonging the Archaean age, unconformably lying

over Singhbhum Granite and Banded Iron Formation (BIF). It consists of three

alternate bands of volcano sedimentary units uniquely disposed in a ring like circular

pattern formed under sub- marine conditions. Baripada Beds outcrops of tertiary

formation occur around Baripada town. These comprise stratified clay and sand with

marly clay or limestone interbands. Important mineral resources include iron, copper,

itanium, vanadium, chinaclay, nickel, kyanite ,quartz, talc, steatite ,soapstone and

bauxite.

4.1 Physiography & Geomorphology:

Mayurbhanj district presents diverse physiographic features, Physiographically the

study area can be divided into 3 categories. The first physiographic unit of the district

is high mountain ranges, Similipal Complex being at its central part (Figure 1). The

mountain ranges comprise mainly of highland plateau and valleys with intrusive

running through them. The second physiographic unit is Tertiary Plain occurring in the

eastern part of the district. The third physiographic unit is Alluvial Plain which lies

partly in Rasgovindpur, Morada, Samakhunta, Betnoti, Baripada, Badasahi and

Suliapada Blocks. The highest elevation of about 559m at Bahalda near Similpal hill

and higher elevations of the district, due to scarp landforms some waterfalls are

observed in the district. The general slope of the district is from north to south.

Geologically the area is comprised with Archean granites and gneisses.

Geomorphologically the district is divided into 3 units:

i) The denudational hills with moderate to high slope occurring in the western part of

the district.

ii) Dissected pediments having gentle slope.

4.3 Mineral Resources:

The earliest known geological survey in Mayurbhanj dates back to 1903, when P.N.

Bose brought to light the extensive iron-ore deposits of high quantity on the

Gorumahisani and Suleipat hills in Bamanghaty Sub-Division. These deposits were

considered to be almost inexhaustible and were pronounced to be of excellent quality,

perhaps second to none in the whole of Asia by the famous American and English

experts like M/s Perin, Weld and Colonel Staddart, who visited these deposits during

1905-06. This discovery was a momentous one as the steel plant of the Tata Iron &

Steel Co. at Jamshedpur was entirely based on the exploitation of these deposits. By

1915, important discoveries of Steatite near Lulung and placer gold from the sands of

Subarnarekha, Kharkhai and Barhai rivers had been made. The placer gold deposits

were being worked by M/s J.B. Bettie of Calcutta, Mr. V.G. Piggot of Ghatsila and the

Mayurbhanj Prospecting Concession Syndicate.

Gold: The mid-Archaean Gorumahisani-Badampahar schist belt composed of basic

ultrabasic, volcanic rocks and volcanogenic sediments. This belt has been

prognosticated as a rift-type of volcanic dominated one and is highly potential for

economic grade gold mineralization. Likely targets include: a) auriferous quartz veins

close to the contact of sulphide chert volcanics, b) sheared and sulphidised Fe-rich

tholeiite with anomalous copper, c) epigenetic vein type of mineralization and BIF

volcanic association, and d) sulphidic conglomerate resting over the basic volcanics.

Placer gold occurrence are known from rivers and stream of Mayurbhanj district. An

area of about 5 square kilometers of alluvium at the headwaters of Sapgora and Borai

rivers near Kudersai was indicated as promising.

Iron: Bose discovered iron ore deposits in Gorumahisani and Badampahar in the

eastwhile princely state of Mayurbhanj (now Mayurbhanj District). Gorumahisani

deposits were investigated by Perin & Weld (1905). Gorumahisani- Badampahar-

Suleipat deposits are associated with banded hematite / magnetite grunerite and BHJ.

associated with gabbro- anorthosite suite of rocks contain vanadium and titanium.

Deposits of vanadium-magnetite occur in association with gabbro-Anorthosite suite of

rocks in the precambrian metamorphites. Vanadium bearing magnetite belts are :-

(a) Rairangpur – Bisoi belt (Kumardubi, Betjharan Amdabeda)

(b) Bisoi – Joshipur belt (Mayurbeka, Kesham, Sialnoi)

(c) Baripada – Podadiha belt (Andipur, Bahalda)

Pyrophyllite : is mainly used as a high grade ceramic product, electric insulator and

refractory material. The comp. is Al2O34SiO2 H20. It is formed as an alteration product

of feldspar. Pyrophyllite occurrences are reported at Kankrani, Jashipur,

Gorumahisani, Bangriposhi and Manada in Mayurbhnaj dist. Ichinda, Khairakocha,

Jamukunda, Nakulkocha, Kapadiha, Dunguridiha, Maheshpur, Kashidiha, Sagragora

and Pokpoka. Dimension stone of the district are granite, granite-gneiss, migmatites,

syenite, gabbro, anorthosite, charnockite, leptynite, pyroxene granulite, dolerite,

pyroxinite and dunite etc.

Bauxite: In Similipal complex (Mayurbhanj) aluminous laterite/ Bauxite are observed

around 1000 m AMSL. The spongy aluminous laterite/bauxite occurs as sheets and

boulders occupying the flat-topped hills made up of metavolcanics. Both

ultramafics and metavolcanics are lateritised giving rise to nickeliferous laterite and

aluminous laterite respectively.

China Clay clay like material approximating the mineral Kaolinite (Al2O3, 2SIO2,

2H2O). China clay is found to occur in a long belt stretching from Singhbhum to

Mayurbhanj. Badampahar-Joshipur- Karanjia – Ramachandrapur belt is the most

important china-clay producing area of the state. The important deposits in

Mayurbhanj district are found near Jashipur, Chanchbani, Dumuria, Jamda, Kodadiha,

Jamkeswar and Thakurmunda. China clay has many industrial applications as filler in

paper, textile, rubber, in the manufacture of potteries, ceramics, sanitary wares,

glazed tiles, white cement, insecticides, paints, cosmetics, refractory bricks etc. Soap

stone and Steatite Asbestos is mined from Mayurbhanj area.

5.1 River System

The Budhabalanga River (also called Balanga River) flows through the districts

of Mayurbhanj & Balasore and finally reached Bay of Bengal. The Budhabalanga, rises

from Similipal hills and plunges through Barehipani Falls, the second-highest waterfall

in India, located in Similipal National Park. It then flows in a northerly direction up to

the village Karanjiapal in Bangiriposi police-station. Thereafter, it turns to the north-

east and flows along the railway track up to the village Jhankapahadi. There it

changes its course to the south and meets the Katra nala. The other tributaries are

the Palpala and the Chipat both of which are hill streams rising from the Similipal hills.

Then the river passes through Baripada. It later flows through Balasore district and

into the Bay of Bengal. The Budhabalanga is about 175 kilometres (109 mi) long and

has a total catchment area of 4,840 square kilometres (1,870 sq mi). Its major

tributaries are the Sona, Gangahar, and the Katra. Burhabalang and its tributaries, viz.

QUARTZ & QUARTZITE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

Sona Nadi, Amrutia Nadi, Gangahar Nadi drain almost round the year in the present

area. Sona Nadi receives the watery effluent load through a nalah (Sankh nalah) from

the Balgopalpur Industrial Estate and flows from west to east. Amrutia Nadi flows

from NNW to SSE and carries the waste water load of East Coast. Subarnrekha

originate from Nagri of Jharkhand and then enter into Mayurbhanj district, very less

portion of the river flows within Mayurbhanj district, Major portion of Subarnarekha

River passes in the Balasore district. Another river Jambhira runs in Mayurbhanj

district then enters into Balasore district and Renamed as river Jalaka flows into Bay

of Bengal. Other small rivers run in this district like River Khadkhai originates from

Tunhgru R.F. and plunges through Suleipat Dam (Khadkhai Reserviour). It then runs

towards Rairangpur, Bahalda, Tiringi area of western direction of Mayurbhanj district

and finally reached at River Subarnarekha. River Deo rises from Similipal R.F. and

runs towards western part of the district and flows through Karanjia area and then

joins with Baitarani River. River Khairabandhan originates from Similipal R.F. and

flows towards western part of the Mayurbhanj district through Jashipur, Raruan,

Sukruli area of district and then joins with River Baitarani This river maintains a

sluggish flow in the pre-monsoon period, but swells menacingly with the onset of

monsoon often flooding large tracts. Another small tributary named as Kanhu starts

from River Khadkhai and branched into Jalapa, Ghagera nala meets at Jharbeda area

of Mayurbhanj District.

6.2 Agriculture Land:

Mayurbhanj is surrounded by no of forest areas as well as Rocky Mountains. People

used to cultivate Paddy in most parts of the hill slopes and in plain lands. Most of the

cultivators grow short duration local paddy in the un-bonded upland during Kharif

season. The crop suffers moisture stress at different stages due to inadequate rainfall.

The primary objective of Agriculture Department is increase of production as well as

productivity of major crops like paddy, groundnut, mustard, Mung, Biri & vegetables

which is widely covered in this District in both Kharif & Rabi season. Another key

objective is the all round development of the farming community of the District. The

Deputy Director of Agriculture is the head of office so far as agriculture is concerned &

he is the Principal Agriculture Officer of the District. Under him there are 5 District

Agriculture Officers & the block under them. As already pointed out, that agriculture is

the main livelihood of the people in Mayurbhanj District. It is therefore also

designated as the food bowl of Odisha. Rice is the principal crop grown in this district,

followed by other cereals, pulses, oilseeds, vegetables, spices and sugarcane. The

agricultural statistics for the district is shown in subsequent tables below:

6.3 Horticulture Land:

The primary objective of Horticulture Department is increase of production as well as

productivity of major fruits like Mango, Guava, Citrus etc., which is widely covered in

this District. Another key objective is the all round development of the farming

community of the District. The Deputy Director of Horticulture is the head of office.

7.0 SURFACE WATER AND GROUND WATER SCENARIO OF THE DISTRICT

7.1 Hydrogeology

Distribution of Saline / fresh water aquifers:

The occurrence of fresh water aquifers in coastal tract of Mayurbhanj restricted by

two important factors‐ (i) Occurrence of hard rocks in the western side and (ii) Salinity

hazard problems in the eastern part. The water bearing formation of the area can be

divided into (a) areas underlain by fractured, fissured and consolidated basement rock

formations (b) areas underlain by recent unconsolidated alluvial formations.

(a) Consolidated Formation - These are most predominant rock types occurring in

the undulating plains of the district. Groundwater occurs under unconfined condition

in the shallow weathered zone and circulates through fractures and joints. The

thickness of the weathered zone varies from 3 to 35 m. Depth of open wells in these

formations varies from 5 to 14 m below ground level.

(b) Unconsolidated alluvial formations - The unconsolidated formations consists of

laterite and alluvium. Laterites at places are highly consolidated and used as building

stones. The laterites have high degree of effective porosity and form potential

aquifers commonly tapped in dug wells. The alluvium comprises an admixture of clay,

silt, sand and calcareous concretions in varying proportions. The coarse sediments like

sand and gravel form the main repository of ground water. Ground water occurs

under both unconfined condition in shallow aquifers and in confined condition in

deeper parts.

7.2 Depth of water level:

The depth to water level map for pre and post monsoon periods 2011 are prepared

based on the ground water monitoring data of 77 Nos of National Hydrograph

Stations of C.G.W.B. monitored during the month of April and November 2006 are

presented below respectively. The pre and post monsoon depth to water levels in the

district range from 3.54 to 14.50 m below ground level and 1.39 to 8.20 m below

ground level respectively. It is observed that during pre monsoon about 75% of the

total areas show the water level varying between 5 to 10 m below ground level.

During post monsoon nearly 60% of the area has water levels within 2 to 5 m,

while the rest part has between 0 to 2 and 4 to 6 m below ground levels. In localized

part of Morada, Kaptipada and Thakurmunda the water level is > 5 mt.

7.3 Ground Water Quality

The chemical quality of ground water in the district has been assessed on the basis of

chemical analysis of ground water samples collected during groundwater monitoring,

Hydrogeological surveys and groundwater exploration. The results of the chemical

analysis are presented in Table.

7.4 Ground Water Development

In the rural areas the entire water supply is dependent on ground water. Ground

water development is mainly carried out in the district through dug wells and Hand

pumps. In general dug wells are of 2 m diameter and the depth ranges between 8 to

15 m depending on the thickness of the weathered zone, tapping the shallow aquifer

in the weathered zone and uppermost slice of the basement. Large number of dug

wells used for drinking water is under private ownership for which there is no reliable

data. Over the years Mark II/ Mark III hand pumps are being drilled in large numbers

for ground water development. These hand pumps have the following two major

advantages i) less susceptible to contamination from surface sources and ii) tap

fractures between 20-60m depth which have been found to be less affected by

seasonal water level fluctuation and thus have lesser chances of failure even during

extreme summer. Over all the present level of ground water development is only

27.21 percent in the district with the maximum in Badasahi Block viz. 64.65% and

minimum in Bijatala Block. Block wise development figure indicate that all the blocks

come under the white categories. Thus there is ample scope for development of

groundwater in the district to augment irrigation potentials through suitable ground

water abstraction structure

7.5 Ground Water Related Issue and Problems

Some of key ground water related issues are

I. Locating suitable sites for bore wells

II. Suitable design of dug wells and hand pumps

III. Taking up artificial recharge projects to augment the resource availability in

QUARTZ & QUARTZITE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

Mayurbhanj district.

IV. Optimal development of irrigation potential by developing ground water available

for future uses.

V. Creating public awareness for conserving ground water through awareness

camps, NGO’s and mass media.

7.8 RECOMMENDATIONS:

1) Intensive groundwater exploration should be taken up to delineate deeper

potential water saturated fracture zones and to compute aquifer parameter.

2) Large scale planning for ground water development should be preceded by

intensive hydrogeological and geophysical surveys aided by remote sensing

studies.

3) Effective measures may be taken to conserve the surface run off by contour

bonding at suitable sites. Also proper maintenance of reservoir, tanks and spring

channels by periodical disiltation should be carried out.

4) Existing dug-wells should be deepened to tap the maximum saturated thickness of

the weathered mantle or vertical bores may be drilled through the bottom to

enhance the well yield.

5) Energy station of wells already constructed should be stepped up to ensure

optimal utilization of the irrigation potential already created.

6) The farmers should be educated through agricultural extension services fro

adopting suitable cropping pattern for optimal utilization of available groundwater

resources.

7) Programmes for artificial recharge may also be taken up for augmentation of

groundwater through construction of percolation tanks, subsurface dykes, and

check dams and through contour bonding etc.

8) An intensive network of groundwater monitoring stations are required to be

QUARTZ & QUARTZITE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

established in the command areas of irrigation projects to monitor the changes in

groundwater regime consequent on application of surface water irrigation.

36

Clay, Quartz, Soap stone, Granite, Manganese, etc. Due to presence of huge

mineral resources, mining activities have been undertaken in a big scale. Bahalda,

Jashipur, Karanjia, Koshorpur, Bisoi, Gorumahisani and Rairangpur are the places in

the district having deposits of the above mineral products. The availability of

mineral deposits is given in the table below. The district’s mineral deposits have not

been utilized to maximum extent for industrial purpose. Some of the items like

China clay, Soap stone, Asbestos, etc. can be used in small scale sector. So the

available resources of the district need harnessing properly for industrial and

productive use. Quartz of the district is very much suitable for various industrial

purposes after crushing and screening.

16. USE OF MINERAL

Uses of Quartz -

Quartz :

Quartz is one of the most well-known minerals on earth. It occurs in basically all

mineral environments, and is the important constituent of many rocks. Quartz is also

the most varied of all minerals, occurring in all different forms, habits, and colors.

There are more variety names given to Quartz than any other mineral. Although the

Feldspars as a group are more prevalent than Quartz, as an individual mineral Quartz

is the most common mineral. Most mineral reference guides list Chalcedony as an

individual mineral, but in reality it is a variety of Quartz. It is the microcrystalline form

of Quartz, forming only occurs in microscopic, compacted crystals. This page deals

only with the crystalline forms of Quartz. Chalcedony is listed on its own dedicated

page in this guide. Other important varieties of Quartz, such as Amethyst, Citrine, and

Agate, also have dedicated pages due to their popularity and individual varieties.

Some forms of Quartz, especially the gemstone forms, have their color enhanced.

Almost all forms of the yellow-brown variety Citrine are in fact heat treated. Much

Amethyst is also heat treated to intensify color, and a green transparent form known

as "Green Amethyst" or "Prasiolite" is formed by heat treating certain types of

Amethyst. There is also a transparent sky blue form of Quartz crystals, as well as a

wildly iridescent type that are synthetically colored by irradiation of gold. In some

localities, Hematite forms a thin red or brown layer internally in the Quartz crystal,

giving it a natural bright red to brown coloring, and sometimes even a mild natural

QUARTZ & QUARTZITE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

37

iridescence.

Quartz is an important mineral with numerous uses. Sand, which is composed of

tiny Quartz pebbles, is the primary ingredient for the manufacture of glass.

Transparent Rock Crystal has many electronic uses; it is used as oscillators in radios,

watches, and pressure gauges, and in the study of optics. In addition to all the

practical uses, Quartz is essential to the gem trade. Many varieties are faceted as

gems. Amethyst and Citrine are the most well-known gem varieties. Rose Quartz,

Smoky Quartz, Rock Crystal, and Aventurine are also cut or polished into gems.

Small colorless Quartz crystals are worn by some as pendants for good luck.

17. DEMAND AND SUPPLY OF THE MINERAL IN THE LAST THREE YEARS:

As such there are huge infrastructural and industrial activities are coming up by State

govt., Govt. of India & PSUs under “Make in India” programme. The main raw

minerals for the above activities and considering the last three years actual

productions with respect to the requirement of the state has a huge gap. It is

proposed to start the production from larger block/area to at least double the

production of the district which will enhance the revenue of the district and also

support the livelihood of the local people

coming years.

20. DETAILS OF ECO-SENSITIVE AREA, IF ANY, IN THE DISTRICT:

Eco sensitive zone of Similipal wild life sanctuary is located within the district.

21. IMPACTS OF MINING ON ENVIRONMENT:

The most important environmental impact of mining projects is:-

Transportation sources:

Transportation sources of air pollutants include heavy vehicles used in excavation

operations, cars that transport personnel at the mining site, and trucks that transport

mining materials. The level of polluting emissions from these sources depends on the

fuel and conditions of the equipment. Even though individual emissions can be

relatively small, collectively these emissions can be of real concern. In addition,

mobile sources are a major source of particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and volatile

organic compounds that contribute significantly to the formation of ground-level ozone

Fugitive emissions:

Common sources of fugitive emissions include: storage and handling of materials;

mine processing; fugitive dust, blasting, construction activities, and roadways

associated with mining activities; leach pads, and tailing piles and ponds; and waste

rock piles. Sources and characteristics of fugitive emissions dust in mining operations

vary in each case, as do their impacts. Impacts are difficult to predict and calculate

but should be considered since they could be a significant source of hazardous air

pollutants.

Noise and vibration:

Noise pollution associated with mining may include noise from vehicle engines,

loading and unloading of rock into steel dumpers, chutes, power generation, and

other sources. Cumulative impacts of shoveling, ripping, drilling, blasting, transport,

crushing, grinding, and stock-piling can significantly affect wildlife and nearby

residents.

Vibrations are associated with many types of equipment used in mining operations,

but blasting is considered the major source. Vibration has affected the stability of

infrastructures, buildings, and homes of people living near large-scale open-pit mining

QUARTZ & QUARTZITE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

39

operations. According to a study commissioned by the European Union in 2000:

“Shocks and vibrations as a result of blasting in connection with mining can lead to

noise, dust and collapse of structures in surrounding inhabited areas. The animal life,

on which the local population may depend, might also be disturbed.”

22. REMEDIAL MEASURES TO MITIGATE THE IMPACT OF MINING ON THE

ENVIRONMENT:

1. Following are the remedial measures to mitigate the in Water sprinkling on haul

road, loading and unloading points.

2. Plantation along the safety zone and dump area.

3. Providing dust masks to workers.

4. Regular monitoring of ambient air quality.

5. Provision of air conditioned cabin of Excavators and Dumpers.

6. Regular and proper maintenance of working equipments.

7. Periodic medical examination of the workers and organize medical camp in the area.

8. Use Milli Second Delay Detonator in blasting operation.

9. Provisions of ear plug to the workers.

10. Regular training programme to the mines workers and operators.

23. RECLAMATION OF MINED OUT AREA

Necessity of Reclamation & Rehabilitation:

Exponential growth in mineral production since 1980.

Mining activities causes physical, chemical, biological and socio-economic changes in

the area.

Surface mining activities disturb the original land profile.

In India, mineral production comes mostly from opencast mines & hence land

degradation problems are of serious concern.

An intricate, in-depth and site-specified techniques involving integrated approach is

necessary.

Reclamation has three vital roles:

i. Reclamation – Reclamation means return the mined-out land with useful life. It

implies restoring the land to a form and productivity that is useful and inconformity

QUARTZ & QUARTZITE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

40

with a prior land use. Reclamation always may not be a single- phase operation.

ii. Rehabilitation – Rehabilitation is to bring batch the degraded land to a normal

stage by a special treatment. It is a process of taking some mitigation measures for

disturbed environmental condition created through mining activities.

iii. Restoration – Restoration is the process of returning the mined out land being

fit to an acceptable environmental condition. However, the general acceptable

meaning of the term is bringing the disturbed land to its original form. Restoration is

often used to indicate that biological properties of soil are put back to what they were.

This is a rate phenomenon.

iv. When active mining ceases, mine facilities and the site are reclaimed and closed.

The goal of mine site reclamation and closure should always be to return the site to a

condition that most resembles the pre-mining condition. Mines that are notorious for

their immense impact on the environment often made impacts only during the closure

phase, when active mining operations ceased. These impacts can persist for decades

and even centuries.

Mine reclamation and closure plans must describe in sufficient detail how the mining

company will restore the site to a condition that most resembles pre-mining

environmental quality; how it will prevent – in perpetuity – the release of toxic

contaminants from various mine facilities (such as abandoned open pits and tailings

impoundments); and how funds will be set aside to insure that the costs of

reclamation and closure will be paid for.

Proposed future land use after reclamation:

a. Forestry, b. Recreation, c. Water Reservoir, d. Crop Land,

e. residential/Commercial, f. Fish & wildlife Habitat, g. Undeveloped Land,

h. Grazing/Pasture Land

Statutory requirement:

As per the Mineral Conservation Development Rule, 2017, the following rules must be

bare in mind by the mine owner/agent/manager, which is a part of reclamation

activities –

Rule 22, Mine Closure Plan

Rule 23, Submission of Progressive Mine Closure Plan Rule 24, Submission of Final

Mine Closure Plan

QUARTZ & QUARTZITE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

41

Rule 26, Responsibility of holder of mining lease Rule 27, Financial Assurance

Rule 35, Sustainable Mining

24. RISK ASSESSMENT AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN:

Mining activity because of the very nature of the operation, complexity of the

systems, procedures and methods always involves some amount of hazards. Hazard

identification and risk analysis is carried for identification of undesirable events that

can leads to a hazard, the analysis of hazard mechanism by which this undesirable

event could occur and usually the estimation of extent, magnitude and likelihood of

harmful effects. The activities which can cause high risk related to face stability and

the person blasting the shots. It was observed that on a working face of the mine,

there were large cracks and unsupported rocks were present, which can lead to a

serious hazard and injure workers engaged in loading operation and machineries

because of rock falls or slides. This type of condition turn out because improper

dressing of the bench and improper supervision. To avoid the hazards due to fall of

rocks the face must be examined, made suitable for working and the remedial

measures must be taken to make it safe if there is any doubt that a collapse could

take place. Working of the face should be in the direction taking into account the

geology of the area such that face and quarry side remain stable. Another major risk

identified in mines is due to the firing of explosive by an unqualified person. In the

mines there is problem of fly rocks and the village is located close to the mine and so

it is rated high as it can affect may people. Explosives by nature have the potential for

the most serious and catastrophic accident. Planning of round of shots, holes correctly

drilled, direction logged, weight of explosive suitable for good fragmentation are the

few of the steps necessary to ensure its safe use and if the shots are not properly

designed can result in misfires, early ignition and flying rocks. No person is allowed to

use explosives without being properly trained in its handling. In the mine a large

numbers of heavy vehicles were in operation and the roads were not proper for

haulage purpose. The haulage roads were not even and were not wide enough for the

crossing purpose and hence the chances of hazards are very high. The main hazards

arising from the use large earth moving vehicles are incompetent drivers, brake

QUARTZ & QUARTZITE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

42

failure, lack of all-around visibility from the driver position, vehicle movements

particularly reversing, roll over, and maintenance. Those most at risk are the driver

and pedestrians likely to be struck by the vehicle, and drivers of smaller vehicles,

which cannot be seen from the cabs of large vehicles. Edge protection is always

necessary to prevent inadvertent movement over the edge of roadway or a bench.

Seatbelt will protect driver in case of roll. Good maintenance and regular testing are

necessary to reduce the possibility of brake failure. Access to the vehicles should

always be restricted to those people necessary for the work in hand. The use of

personal protective equipment and proper arrangements is essential to check if the

person is wearing protective equipment or not. The personal protective equipment

includes helmet, non-skid safety boots, safety glasses, earmuffs etc. The required

personal protective equipment should be provided and used in a manner that protects

the individual from injury. Few minor injuries which can be prevented are slip, trip, or

fall hazards; hazards due to rock falls and collapse of unstable rocks, atmosphere

containing toxic or combustible gases; protects from chemical or hazardous material

etc. A disaster management plan should be prepared for taking care of for any

disaster. Other risks which are included in this category are noise, as it occurs and it

can lead to permanent disability. There are problems related to road traffic in and out

issuers; inappropriate exposure of moving machines; mechanical failure and because

of large number of moving trucks and dumpers there is large quantity of dust present

in roadways which affects the operators and can lead to accidents causing injury.

They are in acceptable range because of precautions measures taken but no step is

taken it can cause hazard hence steps should be taken to reduce the hazards such as

for dust suppression system should be installed. Other problems like occurrence of

lots of mosquitoes in the area due to unhygienic conditions which affect the human

health causing malaria, dengue etc. and causing a person to be hospitalized.

Disaster in the mines like fires, explosions, entrapments, and inundations can occur

any time, so emergency preparedness is a must. The Disaster management plan and

risk assessment in the mines will include all sorts of above mentioned emergency and

the extent that this plan will be implemented will depend on the nature and scope of

the emergency. The basic purpose of Disaster management plan and risk assessment

QUARTZ & QUARTZITE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

43

to ensure that mine rescue and recovery activities are conducted safely for rescuer

and survivors. According to MMR act 1961 a standard operating procedure should be

drawn for involvement different category of staff and officers. The SOP should be

updated periodically to reduce the chaos and response to the emergency should be

quick and smooth. The responsible person should be familiar with his responsibility

during the mock drills. One or two standby should be there to replace the person in

Emergency situation. Rescue operations should not include the survivors for any

assistance.

First Information of Disaster / Emergency should go to the attendance clerk on duty.

Duties of attendance Clerk (Emergency Siren) the attendance clerk or other

designated person should on getting information of major accident, sound a hooter or

a siren immediately declaring a state of emergency at the mine and then to contact

the manager and on his advice to call key personnel using the information listed in the

Emergency Organization Chart. It is important that all telephone calls are recorded in

a telephone log book. Duties of Other Officials should be displayed and handed over

to all concerned. Copy the same should be kept at Manager’s Office for ready

reference. Establishment of Control Room at Unit Level, Area Level and Company

Level is essential. Control Room should keep the contact information about –

Company Manager

Company owner/ Administrative officer.

District Administration

Govt. Hospitals in Nearby Localities,

Private Nursing Homes of Localities

Attendance roaster and duty charge register should be properly maintained so the

record of missing people can be obtained.

25. DETAILS OF THE OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH ISSUE IN THE DISTRICT:

The persons employed in the mines are exposed to a number of hazards at work

which adversely affect their health. Some of the important ones are dust, noise, heat,

humidity, vibration etc. In recent times, there has been increasing awareness among

QUARTZ & QUARTZITE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

44

mining industry and the workers about occupational diseases like Pneumoconiosis,

Silicosis, Tuberculosis, Hearing Impairment etc. caused by exposure to health hazards

at work. Almost all occupational diseases can be prevented by adopting proper

occupational health measures and engineering control on airborne dust pollution at

workplace. Occupational Diseases in mines or industry is required to conduct medical

examinations and health surveillance of workers as per the provisions of Mines Act.

The present efforts of mines management are concentrated on detection of silicosis,

Pneumoconiosis and other notified diseases. The essential features of health

surveillance programme required to be carried out in mines are:

(a) Initial Medical Examination of persons to be conducted at the time of

appointment.

(b) Periodic Medical Examination or General physical examination to be conducted

once in every year.

(c) Maintenance of medical records and health services till the person is in service.

26. PLANTATION GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT IN RESPECT OF LEASE

ALREADY GRANTED IN THE DISTRICT:

During mining operation green belt development through plantation is most important

for environment safe guard, which should be supervision by mining department.

Different type of species should be planted near lease periphery to keep environment

clean at post mining period through reclamation. Where specific usefulness of land

could be decided, a forestation is normally planned through the site could have been

considered for better possibilities of land use.

27. CONCLUSION:

Since it is an interim report, to meet the requirement of minerals in the present

scenario, it is proposed to identify such potential areas at certain interval and get the

data bank of DSR to be updated. The insitu mining activity in any area is on one hand

bring revenue and employment (Direct and indirect) and on other hand if not done

properly potential pollution and ecological imbalance increases, the ability of the

ecosystem can also be reduced. Particulate matter transported by the wind as a result

of excavations, blasting, transportation of materials, heavy equipments used raise

these particulate levels; and Gas emissions from the combustion of fuels in stationary

and mobile sources, explosions, and mineral processing. All these activities indirectly

affected the biodiversity of area. Larger potential and smaller areas have been

identified in Mayurbhanj district on the basis of geological study carried out during

field observation, which can be considered for mining concession after all the

parameters for statutory clearances are verified by consulting with concerned

authorities.

PREAMBLE

Odisha is the major mineral reach in India. Mayurbhanj is a unique district in Odisha

lies on the northern most part of the state with varied mineral resources. In

pursuance of the order of Hon’ble Supreme Court Petition (C) No. 19628-19629 of

2009, dated 27th Feb. 2012 in the matter of Deepak Kumar Vs State of Haryana and

others etc., prior environmental clearance has now become mandatory for mining of

minor minerals irrespective of the area of Mining Lease. And also in view of the

Hon’ble National Green Tribunal, order dated the 13th Jan. 2015 the matter regarding

Road metal/stone, Sand, Brick earth, & burrowed earth cutting for Road Construction

has to take prior Environmental Clearance for Mining Lease area more or less than 5

hectares also suggested making a policy on Environmental Clearance for minor

minerals lease and leases in cluster. As per MOEF & CC Notification S.O.-1533(E)

dated 14th Sept. 2006 and subsequent MoEF & CC Notification S.O. 141(E) dated 15th

Jan. 2016, District Environment Impact Assessment Authority (DEIAA) & District level

Expert Appraisal Committee (DEAC) has been formed for Category –B2 Minor Minerals

having area less than or equal to 5 ha. In compliance to the notification issued by the

Ministry of Environment and Forest and Climate Change Notification no. S.O.3611 (E)

New Delhi dated 25-07-2018; the preparation of district survey report of road

metal/stone mining has been prepared in accordance with Clause II of Appendix X of the

notification.

Keeping in view of the prior information of Odisha Minor Mineral Concession Rule

2004, (OMMCR -2004) the mining operation for minor minerals were carried out in

unscientific manner. Identifying this fact in exercise of power, Conferred by Section 15

by Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act 1957 as amended in 2015

and all other powers enabling it in that behalf, the Mining & Geology Department,

Govt. of Odisha framed the aforementioned rule. Further, this report will act as a

compendium of available mineral resources, geological set up, environmental and

ecological set up of the district and based on data of various departments like

Revenue, Water Resources, Forest, Geology and Mining in the district as well as

statistical data uploaded by various state Government departments for preparation for

district survey report.

12

encountered in the district are Granite Gneiss, Quartzite, Orthoquartzite, Arkose,

Shale, Phyllite, Gabbro, Px-granite. The geology of the district is constituted by the

Similipal complex at its central part belonging the Archaean age, unconformably lying

over Singhbhum Granite and Banded Iron Formation (BIF). It consists of three

alternate bands of volcano sedimentary units uniquely disposed in a ring like circular

pattern formed under sub- marine conditions. Baripada Beds outcrops of tertiary

formation occur around Baripada town. These comprise stratified clay and sand with

marly clay or limestone interbands. Important mineral resources include iron, copper,

itanium, vanadium, chinaclay, nickel, kyanite ,quartz, talc, steatite ,soapstone and

bauxite.

4.1 Physiography & Geomorphology:

Mayurbhanj district presents diverse physiographic features, Physiographically the

study area can be divided into 3 categories. The first physiographic unit of the district

is high mountain ranges, Similipal Complex being at its central part (Figure 1). The

mountain ranges comprise mainly of highland plateau and valleys with intrusive

running through them. The second physiographic unit is Tertiary Plain occurring in the

eastern part of the district. The third physiographic unit is Alluvial Plain which lies

partly in Rasgovindpur, Morada, Samakhunta, Betnoti, Baripada, Badasahi and

Suliapada Blocks. The highest elevation of about 559m at Bahalda near Similpal hill

and higher elevations of the district, due to scarp landforms some waterfalls are

observed in the district. The general slope of the district is from north to south.

Geologically the area is comprised with Archean granites and gneisses.

Geomorphologically the district is divided into 3 units:

i) The denudational hills with moderate to high slope occurring in the western part of

the district.

ii) Dissected pediments having gentle slope.

4.3 Mineral Resources:

The earliest known geological survey in Mayurbhanj dates back to 1903, when P.N.

Bose brought to light the extensive iron-ore deposits of high quantity on the

Gorumahisani and Suleipat hills in Bamanghaty Sub-Division. These deposits were

considered to be almost inexhaustible and were pronounced to be of excellent quality,

perhaps second to none in the whole of Asia by the famous American and English

experts like M/s Perin, Weld and Colonel Staddart, who visited these deposits during

1905-06. This discovery was a momentous one as the steel plant of the Tata Iron &

Steel Co. at Jamshedpur was entirely based on the exploitation of these deposits. By

1915, important discoveries of Steatite near Lulung and placer gold from the sands of

Subarnarekha, Kharkhai and Barhai rivers had been made. The placer gold deposits

were being worked by M/s J.B. Bettie of Calcutta, Mr. V.G. Piggot of Ghatsila and the

Mayurbhanj Prospecting Concession Syndicate.

Gold: The mid-Archaean Gorumahisani-Badampahar schist belt composed of basic

ultrabasic, volcanic rocks and volcanogenic sediments. This belt has been

prognosticated as a rift-type of volcanic dominated one and is highly potential for

economic grade gold mineralization. Likely targets include: a) auriferous quartz veins

close to the contact of sulphide chert volcanics, b) sheared and sulphidised Fe-rich

tholeiite with anomalous copper, c) epigenetic vein type of mineralization and BIF

volcanic association, and d) sulphidic conglomerate resting over the basic volcanics.

Placer gold occurrence are known from rivers and stream of Mayurbhanj district. An

area of about 5 square kilometers of alluvium at the headwaters of Sapgora and Borai

rivers near Kudersai was indicated as promising.

Iron: Bose discovered iron ore deposits in Gorumahisani and Badampahar in the

eastwhile princely state of Mayurbhanj (now Mayurbhanj District). Gorumahisani

deposits were investigated by Perin & Weld (1905). Gorumahisani- Badampahar-

Suleipat deposits are associated with banded hematite / magnetite grunerite and BHJ.

associated with gabbro- anorthosite suite of rocks contain vanadium and titanium.

Deposits of vanadium-magnetite occur in association with gabbro-Anorthosite suite of

rocks in the precambrian metamorphites. Vanadium bearing magnetite belts are :-

(a) Rairangpur – Bisoi belt (Kumardubi, Betjharan Amdabeda)

(b) Bisoi – Joshipur belt (Mayurbeka, Kesham, Sialnoi)

(c) Baripada – Podadiha belt (Andipur, Bahalda)

Pyrophyllite : is mainly used as a high grade ceramic product, electric insulator and

refractory material. The comp. is Al2O34SiO2 H20. It is formed as an alteration product

of feldspar. Pyrophyllite occurrences are reported at Kankrani, Jashipur,

Gorumahisani, Bangriposhi and Manada in Mayurbhnaj dist. Ichinda, Khairakocha,

Jamukunda, Nakulkocha, Kapadiha, Dunguridiha, Maheshpur, Kashidiha, Sagragora

and Pokpoka. Dimension stone of the district are granite, granite-gneiss, migmatites,

syenite, gabbro, anorthosite, charnockite, leptynite, pyroxene granulite, dolerite,

pyroxinite and dunite etc.

Bauxite: In Similipal complex (Mayurbhanj) aluminous laterite/ Bauxite are observed

around 1000 m AMSL. The spongy aluminous laterite/bauxite occurs as sheets and

boulders occupying the flat-topped hills made up of metavolcanics. Both

ultramafics and metavolcanics are lateritised giving rise to nickeliferous laterite and

aluminous laterite respectively.

China Clay clay like material approximating the mineral Kaolinite (Al2O3, 2SIO2,

2H2O). China clay is found to occur in a long belt stretching from Singhbhum to

Mayurbhanj. Badampahar-Joshipur- Karanjia – Ramachandrapur belt is the most

important china-clay producing area of the state. The important deposits in

Mayurbhanj district are found near Jashipur, Chanchbani, Dumuria, Jamda, Kodadiha,

Jamkeswar and Thakurmunda. China clay has many industrial applications as filler in

paper, textile, rubber, in the manufacture of potteries, ceramics, sanitary wares,

glazed tiles, white cement, insecticides, paints, cosmetics, refractory bricks etc. Soap

stone and Steatite Asbestos is mined from Mayurbhanj area.

5.1 River System

The Budhabalanga River (also called Balanga River) flows through the districts

of Mayurbhanj & Balasore and finally reached Bay of Bengal. The Budhabalanga, rises

from Similipal hills and plunges through Barehipani Falls, the second-highest waterfall

in India, located in Similipal National Park. It then flows in a northerly direction up to

the village Karanjiapal in Bangiriposi police-station. Thereafter, it turns to the north-

east and flows along the railway track up to the village Jhankapahadi. There it

changes its course to the south and meets the Katra nala. The other tributaries are

the Palpala and the Chipat both of which are hill streams rising from the Similipal hills.

Then the river passes through Baripada. It later flows through Balasore district and

into the Bay of Bengal. The Budhabalanga is about 175 kilometres (109 mi) long and

has a total catchment area of 4,840 square kilometres (1,870 sq mi). Its major

tributaries are the Sona, Gangahar, and the Katra. Burhabalang and its tributaries, viz.

Sona Nadi, Amrutia Nadi, Gangahar Nadi drain almost round the year in the present

area. Sona Nadi receives the watery effluent load through a nalah (Sankh nalah) from

the Balgopalpur Industrial Estate and flows from west to east. Amrutia Nadi flows

from NNW to SSE and carries the waste water load of East Coast. Subarnrekha

originate from Nagri of Jharkhand and then enter into Mayurbhanj district, very less

portion of the river flows within Mayurbhanj district, Major portion of Subarnarekha

River passes in the Balasore district. Another river Jambhira runs in Mayurbhanj

district then enters into Balasore district and Renamed as river Jalaka flows into Bay

of Bengal. Other small rivers run in this district like River Khadkhai originates from

Tunhgru R.F. and plunges through Suleipat Dam (Khadkhai Reserviour). It then runs

towards Rairangpur, Bahalda, Tiringi area of western direction of Mayurbhanj district

and finally reached at River Subarnarekha. River Deo rises from Similipal R.F. and

runs towards western part of the district and flows through Karanjia area and then

joins with Baitarani River. River Khairabandhan originates from Similipal R.F. and

flows towards western part of the Mayurbhanj district through Jashipur, Raruan,

Sukruli area of district and then joins with River Baitarani This river maintains a

sluggish flow in the pre-monsoon period, but swells menacingly with the onset of

monsoon often flooding large tracts. Another small tributary named as Kanhu starts

from River Khadkhai and branched into Jalapa, Ghagera nala meets at Jharbeda area

of Mayurbhanj District.

6.2 Agriculture Land:

Mayurbhanj is surrounded by no of forest areas as well as Rocky Mountains. People

used to cultivate Paddy in most parts of the hill slopes and in plain lands. Most of the

cultivators grow short duration local paddy in the un-bonded upland during Kharif

season. The crop suffers moisture stress at different stages due to inadequate rainfall.

The primary objective of Agriculture Department is increase of production as well as

productivity of major crops like paddy, groundnut, mustard, Mung, Biri & vegetables

which is widely covered in this District in both Kharif & Rabi season. Another key

objective is the all round development of the farming community of the District. The

Deputy Director of Agriculture is the head of office so far as agriculture is concerned &

he is the Principal Agriculture Officer of the District. Under him there are 5 District

Agriculture Officers & the block under them. As already pointed out, that agriculture is

the main livelihood of the people in Mayurbhanj District. It is therefore also

designated as the food bowl of Odisha. Rice is the principal crop grown in this district,

followed by other cereals, pulses, oilseeds, vegetables, spices and sugarcane. The

agricultural statistics for the district is shown in subsequent tables below:

6.3 Horticulture Land:

The primary objective of Horticulture Department is increase of production as well as

productivity of major fruits like Mango, Guava, Citrus etc., which is widely covered in

this District. Another key objective is the all round development of the farming

community of the District. The Deputy Director of Horticulture is the head of office.

7.0 SURFACE WATER AND GROUND WATER SCENARIO OF THE DISTRICT

7.1 Hydrogeology

Distribution of Saline / fresh water aquifers:

The occurrence of fresh water aquifers in coastal tract of Mayurbhanj restricted by

two important factors‐ (i) Occurrence of hard rocks in the western side and (ii) Salinity

hazard problems in the eastern part. The water bearing formation of the area can be

divided into (a) areas underlain by fractured, fissured and consolidated basement rock

formations (b) areas underlain by recent unconsolidated alluvial formations.

(a) Consolidated Formation - These are most predominant rock types occurring in

the undulating plains of the district. Groundwater occurs under unconfined condition

in the shallow weathered zone and circulates through fractures and joints. The

thickness of the weathered zone varies from 3 to 35 m. Depth of open wells in these

formations varies from 5 to 14 m below ground level.

(b) Unconsolidated alluvial formations - The unconsolidated formations consists of

laterite and alluvium. Laterites at places are highly consolidated and used as building

stones. The laterites have high degree of effective porosity and form potential

aquifers commonly tapped in dug wells. The alluvium comprises an admixture of clay,

silt, sand and calcareous concretions in varying proportions. The coarse sediments like

sand and gravel form the main repository of ground water. Ground water occurs

under both unconfined condition in shallow aquifers and in confined condition in

deeper parts.

7.2 Depth of water level:

The depth to water level map for pre and post monsoon periods 2011 are prepared

based on the ground water monitoring data of 77 Nos of National Hydrograph

Stations of C.G.W.B. monitored during the month of April and November 2006 are

presented below respectively. The pre and post monsoon depth to water levels in the

district range from 3.54 to 14.50 m below ground level and 1.39 to 8.20 m below

ground level respectively. It is observed that during pre monsoon about 75% of the

total areas show the water level varying between 5 to 10 m below ground level.

During post monsoon nearly 60% of the area has water levels within 2 to 5 m,

while the rest part has between 0 to 2 and 4 to 6 m below ground levels. In localized

part of Morada, Kaptipada and Thakurmunda the water level is > 5 mt.

7.3 Ground Water Quality

The chemical quality of ground water in the district has been assessed on the basis of

chemical analysis of ground water samples collected during groundwater monitoring,

Hydrogeological surveys and groundwater exploration. The results of the chemical

analysis are presented in Table.

7.4 Ground Water Development

In the rural areas the entire water supply is dependent on ground water. Ground

water development is mainly carried out in the district through dug wells and Hand

pumps. In general dug wells are of 2 m diameter and the depth ranges between 8 to

15 m depending on the thickness of the weathered zone, tapping the shallow aquifer

in the weathered zone and uppermost slice of the basement. Large number of dug

wells used for drinking water is under private ownership for which there is no reliable

data. Over the years Mark II/ Mark III hand pumps are being drilled in large numbers

for ground water development. These hand pumps have the following two major

advantages i) less susceptible to contamination from surface sources and ii) tap

fractures between 20-60m depth which have been found to be less affected by

seasonal water level fluctuation and thus have lesser chances of failure even during

extreme summer. Over all the present level of ground water development is only

27.21 percent in the district with the maximum in Badasahi Block viz. 64.65% and

minimum in Bijatala Block. Block wise development figure indicate that all the blocks

come under the white categories. Thus there is ample scope for development of

groundwater in the district to augment irrigation potentials through suitable ground

water abstraction structure

7.5 Ground Water Related Issue and Problems

Some of key ground water related issues are

I. Locating suitable sites for bore wells

II. Suitable design of dug wells and hand pumps

III. Taking up artificial recharge projects to augment the resource availability in

IV. Optimal development of irrigation potential by developing ground water available

for future uses.

V. Creating public awareness for conserving ground water through awareness

camps, NGO’s and mass media.

7.8 RECOMMENDATIONS:

1) Intensive groundwater exploration should be taken up to delineate deeper

potential water saturated fracture zones and to compute aquifer parameter.

2) Large scale planning for ground water development should be preceded by

intensive hydrogeological and geophysical surveys aided by remote sensing

studies.

3) Effective measures may be taken to conserve the surface run off by contour

bonding at suitable sites. Also proper maintenance of reservoir, tanks and spring

channels by periodical disiltation should be carried out.

4) Existing dug-wells should be deepened to tap the maximum saturated thickness of

the weathered mantle or vertical bores may be drilled through the bottom to

enhance the well yield.

5) Energy station of wells already constructed should be stepped up to ensure

optimal utilization of the irrigation potential already created.

6) The farmers should be educated through agricultural extension services fro

adopting suitable cropping pattern for optimal utilization of available groundwater

resources.

7) Programmes for artificial recharge may also be taken up for augmentation of

groundwater through construction of percolation tanks, subsurface dykes, and

check dams and through contour bonding etc.

8) An intensive network of groundwater monitoring stations are required to be

SOAP STONE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

31

established in the command areas of irrigation projects to monitor the changes in

groundwater regime consequent on application of surface water irrigation.

15. QUALITY/GRADE OF MINERAL AVAILABLE IN THE DISTRICT:

Rocks and Minerals found in Mayurbhanj District:-

The district is endowed with various types of mineral resources like Iron ore, China

Clay, Quartz, Soap stone, Granite, Manganese, etc. Due to presence of huge

mineral resources, mining activities have been undertaken in a big scale. Bahalda,

Jashipur, Karanjia, Koshorpur, Bisoi, Gorumahisani and Rairangpur are the places in

the district having deposits of the above mineral products. The availability of

mineral deposits is given in the table below. The district’s mineral deposits have not

SOAP STONE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

36

been utilized to maximum extent for industrial purpose. Some of the items like

China clay, Soap stone, Asbestos, etc. can be used in small scale sector. So the

available resources of the district need harnessing properly for industrial and

productive use. Soapstone of the district is very much suitable for various industrial

purposes after crushing and screening.

16. USE OF MINERAL

Uses Soapstone:

Soapstone is a natural quarried stone and is a metamorphic rock called steatite. This

is the material we use for our countertops, sinks, masonry heaters, flooring, and many

other architectural applications. A form of talc also known as "soapstone" is also

widely known. Soapstone, although soft, is a very dense (non-porous) stone. Most

people are surprised to learn it is more dense than marble, slate, limestone and even

granite. Since soapstone is impenetrable and it will not stain. No liquid will permeate

its surface. This is why through the years soapstone is widely used in chemistry lab

countertops and acid rooms. This soft rock is easily carved and has been used to

make ornamental and practical objects for thousands of years. It has been used to

make sculptures, bowls, countertops, sinks, hearths, pipe bowls, and many other

objects. Although talcum powder and soapstone are two of the more visible uses of

talc, they account for a very small fraction of talc consumption. Its hidden uses are far

more common. Talc's unique properties make it an important ingredient for making

ceramics, paint, paper, roofing materials, plastics, rubber, insecticides, and many

other products.

17. DEMAND AND SUPPLY OF THE MINERAL IN THE LAST THREE YEARS:

As such there are huge infrastructural and industrial activities are coming up by State

govt., Govt. of India & PSUs under “Make in India” programme. The main raw

minerals for the above activities and considering the last three years actual

productions with respect to the requirement of the state has a huge gap. It is

proposed to start the production from larger block/area to at least double the

production of the district which will enhance the revenue of the district and also

support the livelihood of the local people

coming years.

20. DETAILS OF ECO-SENSITIVE AREA, IF ANY, IN THE DISTRICT:

Eco sensitive zone of Similipal wild life sanctuary is located within the district.

21. IMPACTS OF MINING ON ENVIRONMENT:

The most important environmental impact of mining projects is:-

Transportation sources:

Transportation sources of air pollutants include heavy vehicles used in excavation

operations, cars that transport personnel at the mining site, and trucks that transport

mining materials. The level of polluting emissions from these sources depends on the

fuel and conditions of the equipment. Even though individual emissions can be

relatively small, collectively these emissions can be of real concern. In addition,

mobile sources are a major source of particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and volatile

organic compounds that contribute significantly to the formation of ground-level ozone

Fugitive emissions:

Common sources of fugitive emissions include: storage and handling of materials;

mine processing; fugitive dust, blasting, construction activities, and roadways

associated with mining activities; leach pads, and tailing piles and ponds; and waste

rock piles. Sources and characteristics of fugitive emissions dust in mining operations

vary in each case, as do their impacts. Impacts are difficult to predict and calculate

but should be considered since they could be a significant source of hazardous air

pollutants.

SOAP STONE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

38

Noise and vibration:

Noise pollution associated with mining may include noise from vehicle engines,

loading and unloading of rock into steel dumpers, chutes, power generation, and

other sources. Cumulative impacts of shoveling, ripping, drilling, blasting, transport,

crushing, grinding, and stock-piling can significantly affect wildlife and nearby

residents.

Vibrations are associated with many types of equipment used in mining operations,

but blasting is considered the major source. Vibration has affected the stability of

infrastructures, buildings, and homes of people living near large-scale open-pit mining

operations. According to a study commissioned by the European Union in 2000:

“Shocks and vibrations as a result of blasting in connection with mining can lead to

noise, dust and collapse of structures in surrounding inhabited areas. The animal life,

on which the local population may depend, might also be disturbed.”

22. REMEDIAL MEASURES TO MITIGATE THE IMPACT OF MINING ON THE

ENVIRONMENT:

1. Following are the remedial measures to mitigate the in Water sprinkling on haul

road, loading and unloading points.

2. Plantation along the safety zone and dump area.

3. Providing dust masks to workers.

4. Regular monitoring of ambient air quality.

5. Provision of air conditioned cabin of Excavators and Dumpers.

6. Regular and proper maintenance of working equipments.

7. Periodic medical examination of the workers and organize medical camp in the area.

8. Use Milli Second Delay Detonator in blasting operation.

9. Provisions of ear plug to the workers.

10. Regular training programme to the mines workers and operators.

SOAP STONE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

23. RECLAMATION OF MINED OUT AREA

Necessity of Reclamation & Rehabilitation:

Exponential growth in mineral production since 1980.

Mining activities causes physical, chemical, biological and socio-economic changes in

the area.

Surface mining activities disturb the original land profile.

In India, mineral production comes mostly from opencast mines & hence land

degradation problems are of serious concern.

An intricate, in-depth and site-specified techniques involving integrated approach is

necessary.

Reclamation has three vital roles:

i. Reclamation – Reclamation means return the mined-out land with useful life. It

implies restoring the land to a form and productivity that is useful and inconformity

with a prior land use. Reclamation always may not be a single- phase operation.

ii. Rehabilitation – Rehabilitation is to bring batch the degraded land to a normal

stage by a special treatment. It is a process of taking some mitigation measures for

disturbed environmental condition created through mining activities.

iii. Restoration – Restoration is the process of returning the mined out land being

fit to an acceptable environmental condition. However, the general acceptable

meaning of the term is bringing the disturbed land to its original form. Restoration is

often used to indicate that biological properties of soil are put back to what they were.

This is a rate phenomenon.

iv. When active mining ceases, mine facilities and the site are reclaimed and closed.

The goal of mine site reclamation and closure should always be to return the site to a

condition that most resembles the pre-mining condition. Mines that are notorious for

their immense impact on the environment often made impacts only during the closure

phase, when active mining operations ceased. These impacts can persist for decades

and even centuries.

Mine reclamation and closure plans must describe in sufficient detail how the mining

company will restore the site to a condition that most resembles pre-mining

environmental quality; how it will prevent – in perpetuity – the release of toxic

contaminants from various mine facilities (such as abandoned open pits and tailings

SOAP STONE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

40

impoundments); and how funds will be set aside to insure that the costs of

reclamation and closure will be paid for.

Proposed future land use after reclamation:

a. Forestry, b. Recreation, c. Water Reservoir, d. Crop Land,

e. residential/Commercial, f. Fish & wildlife Habitat, g. Undeveloped Land,

h. Grazing/Pasture Land

Statutory requirement:

As per the Mineral Conservation Development Rule, 2017, the following rules must be

bare in mind by the mine owner/agent/manager, which is a part of reclamation

activities –

Rule 22, Mine Closure Plan

Rule 23, Submission of Progressive Mine Closure Plan Rule 24, Submission of Final

Mine Closure Plan

Rule 26, Responsibility of holder of mining lease Rule 27, Financial Assurance

Rule 35, Sustainable Mining

24. RISK ASSESSMENT AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN:

Mining activity because of the very nature of the operation, complexity of the

systems, procedures and methods always involves some amount of hazards. Hazard

identification and risk analysis is carried for identification of undesirable events that

can leads to a hazard, the analysis of hazard mechanism by which this undesirable

event could occur and usually the estimation of extent, magnitude and likelihood of

harmful effects. The activities which can cause high risk related to face stability and

the person blasting the shots. It was observed that on a working face of the mine,

there were large cracks and unsupported rocks were present, which can lead to a

serious hazard and injure workers engaged in loading operation and machineries

because of rock falls or slides. This type of condition turn out because improper

dressing of the bench and improper supervision. To avoid the hazards due to fall of

rocks the face must be examined, made suitable for working and the remedial

measures must be taken to make it safe if there is any doubt that a collapse could

take place. Working of the face should be in the direction taking into account the

geology of the area such that face and quarry side remain stable. Another major risk

identified in mines is due to the firing of explosive by an unqualified person. In the

SOAP STONE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

41

mines there is problem of fly rocks and the village is located close to the mine and so

it is rated high as it can affect may people. Explosives by nature have the potential for

the most serious and catastrophic accident. Planning of round of shots, holes correctly

drilled, direction logged, weight of explosive suitable for good fragmentation are the

few of the steps necessary to ensure its safe use and if the shots are not properly

designed can result in misfires, early ignition and flying rocks. No person is allowed to

use explosives without being properly trained in its handling. In the mine a large

numbers of heavy vehicles were in operation and the roads were not proper for

haulage purpose. The haulage roads were not even and were not wide enough for the

crossing purpose and hence the chances of hazards are very high. The main hazards

arising from the use large earth moving vehicles are incompetent drivers, brake

failure, lack of all-around visibility from the driver position, vehicle movements

particularly reversing, roll over, and maintenance. Those most at risk are the driver

and pedestrians likely to be struck by the vehicle, and drivers of smaller vehicles,

which cannot be seen from the cabs of large vehicles. Edge protection is always

necessary to prevent inadvertent movement over the edge of roadway or a bench.

Seatbelt will protect driver in case of roll. Good maintenance and regular testing are

necessary to reduce the possibility of brake failure. Access to the vehicles should

always be restricted to those people necessary for the work in hand. The use of

personal protective equipment and proper arrangements is essential to check if the

person is wearing protective equipment or not. The personal protective equipment

includes helmet, non-skid safety boots, safety glasses, earmuffs etc. The required

personal protective equipment should be provided and used in a manner that protects

the individual from injury. Few minor injuries which can be prevented are slip, trip, or

fall hazards; hazards due to rock falls and collapse of unstable rocks, atmosphere

containing toxic or combustible gases; protects from chemical or hazardous material

etc. A disaster management plan should be prepared for taking care of for any

disaster. Other risks which are included in this category are noise, as it occurs and it

can lead to permanent disability. There are problems related to road traffic in and out

issuers; inappropriate exposure of moving machines; mechanical failure and because

of large number of moving trucks and dumpers there is large quantity of dust present

in roadways which affects the operators and can lead to accidents causing injury.

SOAP STONE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

42

They are in acceptable range because of precautions measures taken but no step is

taken it can cause hazard hence steps should be taken to reduce the hazards such as

for dust suppression system should be installed. Other problems like occurrence of

lots of mosquitoes in the area due to unhygienic conditions which affect the human

health causing malaria, dengue etc. and causing a person to be hospitalized.

Disaster in the mines like fires, explosions, entrapments, and inundations can occur

any time, so emergency preparedness is a must. The Disaster management plan and

risk assessment in the mines will include all sorts of above mentioned emergency and

the extent that this plan will be implemented will depend on the nature and scope of

the emergency. The basic purpose of Disaster management plan and risk assessment

to ensure that mine rescue and recovery activities are conducted safely for rescuer

and survivors. According to MMR act 1961 a standard operating procedure should be

drawn for involvement different category of staff and officers. The SOP should be

updated periodically to reduce the chaos and response to the emergency should be

quick and smooth. The responsible person should be familiar with his responsibility

during the mock drills. One or two standby should be there to replace the person in

Emergency situation. Rescue operations should not include the survivors for any

assistance.

First Information of Disaster / Emergency should go to the attendance clerk on duty.

Duties of attendance Clerk (Emergency Siren) the attendance clerk or other

designated person should on getting information of major accident, sound a hooter or

Attendance roaster and duty charge register should be properly maintained so the

record of missing people can be obtained.

25. DETAILS OF THE OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH ISSUE IN THE DISTRICT:

The persons employed in the mines are exposed to a number of hazards at work

which adversely affect their health. Some of the important ones are dust, noise, heat,

humidity, vibration etc. In recent times, there has been increasing awareness among

mining industry and the workers about occupational diseases like Pneumoconiosis,

Silicosis, Tuberculosis, Hearing Impairment etc. caused by exposure to health hazards

at work. Almost all occupational diseases can be prevented by adopting proper

occupational health measures and engineering control on airborne dust pollution at

workplace. Occupational Diseases in mines or industry is required to conduct medical

examinations and health surveillance of workers as per the provisions of Mines Act.

The present efforts of mines management are concentrated on detection of silicosis,

Pneumoconiosis and other notified diseases. The essential features of health

surveillance programme required to be carried out in mines are:

(a) Initial Medical Examination of persons to be conducted at the time of

appointment.

(b) Periodic Medical Examination or General physical examination to be conducted

once in every year.

(c) Maintenance of medical records and health services till the person is in service.

26. PLANTATION GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT IN RESPECT OF LEASE

ALREADY GRANTED IN THE DISTRICT:

During mining operation green belt development through plantation is most important

for environment safe guard, which should be supervision by mining department.

Different type of species should be planted near lease periphery to keep environment

clean at post mining period through reclamation. Where specific usefulness of land

could be decided, a forestation is normally planned through the site could have been

considered for better possibilities of land use.

27. CONCLUSION:

Since it is an interim report, to meet the requirement of minerals in the present

scenario, it is proposed to identify such potential areas at certain interval and get the

data bank of DSR to be updated. The insitu mining activity in any area is on one hand

bring revenue and employment (Direct and indirect) and on other hand if not done

properly potential pollution and ecological imbalance increases, the ability of the

ecosystem can also be reduced. Particulate matter transported by the wind as a result

of excavations, blasting, transportation of materials, heavy equipments used raise

these particulate levels; and Gas emissions from the combustion of fuels in stationary

and mobile sources, explosions, and mineral processing. All these activities indirectly

affected the biodiversity of area. Larger potential and smaller areas have been

identified in Mayurbhanj district on the basis of geological study carried out during

field observation, which can be considered for mining concession after all the

parameters for statutory clearances are verified by consulting with concerned

authorities.

PREAMBLE

Odisha is the major mineral reach in India. Mayurbhanj is a unique district in Odisha

lies on the northern most part of the state with varied mineral resources. In

pursuance of the order of Hon’ble Supreme Court Petition (C) No. 19628-19629 of

2009, dated 27th Feb. 2012 in the matter of Deepak Kumar Vs State of Haryana and

others etc., prior environmental clearance has now become mandatory for mining of

minor minerals irrespective of the area of Mining Lease. And also in view of the

Hon’ble National Green Tribunal, order dated the 13th Jan. 2015 the matter regarding

Road metal/stone, Sand, Brick earth, & burrowed earth cutting for Road Construction

has to take prior Environmental Clearance for Mining Lease area more or less than 5

hectares also suggested making a policy on Environmental Clearance for minor

minerals lease and leases in cluster. As per MOEF & CC Notification S.O.-1533(E)

dated 14th Sept. 2006 and subsequent MoEF & CC Notification S.O. 141(E) dated 15th

Jan. 2016, District Environment Impact Assessment Authority (DEIAA) & District level

Expert Appraisal Committee (DEAC) has been formed for Category –B2 Minor Minerals

having area less than or equal to 5 ha. In compliance to the notification issued by the

Ministry of Environment and Forest and Climate Change Notification no. S.O.3611 (E)

New Delhi dated 25-07-2018; the preparation of district survey report of road

metal/stone mining has been prepared in accordance with Clause II of Appendix X of the

notification.

Keeping in view of the prior information of Odisha Minor Mineral Concession Rule

2004, (OMMCR -2004) the mining operation for minor minerals were carried out in

unscientific manner. Identifying this fact in exercise of power, Conferred by Section 15

2. OVERVIEW OF MINING ACTIVITY IN THE DISTRICT:

Mayurbhanj district is land features of both plain and hilly region. Most of the

mineralized area coming under safety zone eco-sensitive zone, mining activity only

confined out of safety zone of eco-sensitive zone. The mining activity in the district is

not only restricted to minor minerals i.e. of sand, stone, granite and brick clays.

Altogether there are leases of Iron-ore (hematite), vanadiferous and titaniferous

magnetic, chaina clay, galena (lead ore), Kyanite, asbestos, steatite (soap stone) and

quartzite constitute the principal mineral resources of Mayurbhanj district, of these the

iron-ore deposits of Gorumahisani, Badampahar and Suleipat, which have been

exploited for a period of about half a century. Stone, granite and sand which has been

granted to the district is regulated as per minerals concession rules of Odisha. There

is no lease of major mineral in the district. At present Leases of stone, sand and bricks

making units are operational in the district. Stone chips, granite stones, ordinary sand

encountered in the district are Granite Gneiss, Quartzite, Orthoquartzite, Arkose,

Shale, Phyllite, Gabbro, Px-granite. The geology of the district is constituted by the

Similipal complex at its central part belonging the Archaean age, unconformably lying

over Singhbhum Granite and Banded Iron Formation (BIF). It consists of three

alternate bands of volcano sedimentary units uniquely disposed in a ring like circular

pattern formed under sub- marine conditions. Baripada Beds outcrops of tertiary

formation occur around Baripada town. These comprise stratified clay and sand with

marly clay or limestone interbands. Important mineral resources include iron, copper,

itanium, vanadium, chinaclay, nickel, kyanite ,quartz, talc, steatite ,soapstone and

bauxite.

4.1 Physiography & Geomorphology:

Mayurbhanj district presents diverse physiographic features, Physiographically the

study area can be divided into 3 categories. The first physiographic unit of the district

is high mountain ranges, Similipal Complex being at its central part (Figure 1). The

mountain ranges comprise mainly of highland plateau and valleys with intrusive

running through them. The second physiographic unit is Tertiary Plain occurring in the

eastern part of the district. The third physiographic unit is Alluvial Plain which lies

partly in Rasgovindpur, Morada, Samakhunta, Betnoti, Baripada, Badasahi and

Suliapada Blocks. The highest elevation of about 559m at Bahalda near Similpal hill

and higher elevations of the district, due to scarp landforms some waterfalls are

observed in the district. The general slope of the district is from north to south.

Geologically the area is comprised with Archean granites and gneisses.

Geomorphologically the district is divided into 3 units:

i) The denudational hills with moderate to high slope occurring in the western part of

the district.

ii) Dissected pediments having gentle slope.

4.3 Mineral Resources:

The earliest known geological survey in Mayurbhanj dates back to 1903, when P.N.

Bose brought to light the extensive iron-ore deposits of high quantity on the

Gorumahisani and Suleipat hills in Bamanghaty Sub-Division. These deposits were

considered to be almost inexhaustible and were pronounced to be of excellent quality,

perhaps second to none in the whole of Asia by the famous American and English

experts like M/s Perin, Weld and Colonel Staddart, who visited these deposits during

1905-06. This discovery was a momentous one as the steel plant of the Tata Iron &

Steel Co. at Jamshedpur was entirely based on the exploitation of these deposits. By

1915, important discoveries of Steatite near Lulung and placer gold from the sands of

Subarnarekha, Kharkhai and Barhai rivers had been made. The placer gold deposits

were being worked by M/s J.B. Bettie of Calcutta, Mr. V.G. Piggot of Ghatsila and the

Mayurbhanj Prospecting Concession Syndicate.

Gold: The mid-Archaean Gorumahisani-Badampahar schist belt composed of basic

ultrabasic, volcanic rocks and volcanogenic sediments. This belt has been

prognosticated as a rift-type of volcanic dominated one and is highly potential for

economic grade gold mineralization. Likely targets include: a) auriferous quartz veins

close to the contact of sulphide chert volcanics, b) sheared and sulphidised Fe-rich

tholeiite with anomalous copper, c) epigenetic vein type of mineralization and BIF

Placer gold occurrence are known from rivers and stream of Mayurbhanj district. An

area of about 5 square kilometers of alluvium at the headwaters of Sapgora and Borai

rivers near Kudersai was indicated as promising.

Iron: Bose discovered iron ore deposits in Gorumahisani and Badampahar in the

eastwhile princely state of Mayurbhanj (now Mayurbhanj District). Gorumahisani

deposits were investigated by Perin & Weld (1905). Gorumahisani- Badampahar-

Suleipat deposits are associated with banded hematite / magnetite grunerite and BHJ.

Vanadium Ores & Titanium: Vanadium is an important alloying element. Magnetite

associated with gabbro- anorthosite suite of rocks contain vanadium and titanium.

Deposits of vanadium-magnetite occur in association with gabbro-Anorthosite suite of

rocks in the precambrian metamorphites. Vanadium bearing magnetite belts are :-

(a) Rairangpur – Bisoi belt (Kumardubi, Betjharan Amdabeda)

(b) Bisoi – Joshipur belt (Mayurbeka, Kesham, Sialnoi)

(c) Baripada – Podadiha belt (Andipur, Bahalda)

Pyrophyllite : is mainly used as a high grade ceramic product, electric insulator and

refractory material. The comp. is Al2O34SiO2 H20. It is formed as an alteration product

of feldspar. Pyrophyllite occurrences are reported at Kankrani, Jashipur,

Gorumahisani, Bangriposhi and Manada in Mayurbhnaj dist. Ichinda, Khairakocha,

Jamukunda, Nakulkocha, Kapadiha, Dunguridiha, Maheshpur, Kashidiha, Sagragora

and Pokpoka. Dimension stone of the district are granite, granite-gneiss, migmatites,

syenite, gabbro, anorthosite, charnockite, leptynite, pyroxene granulite, dolerite,

pyroxinite and dunite etc.

Bauxite: In Similipal complex (Mayurbhanj) aluminous laterite/ Bauxite are observed

around 1000 m AMSL. The spongy aluminous laterite/bauxite occurs as sheets and

boulders occupying the flat-topped hills made up of metavolcanics. Both

ultramafics and metavolcanics are lateritised giving rise to nickeliferous laterite and

aluminous laterite respectively.

5.1 River System

The Budhabalanga River (also called Balanga River) flows through the districts

of Mayurbhanj & Balasore and finally reached Bay of Bengal. The Budhabalanga, rises

from Similipal hills and plunges through Barehipani Falls, the second-highest waterfall

in India, located in Similipal National Park. It then flows in a northerly direction up to

the village Karanjiapal in Bangiriposi police-station. Thereafter, it turns to the north-

east and flows along the railway track up to the village Jhankapahadi. There it

changes its course to the south and meets the Katra nala. The other tributaries are

the Palpala and the Chipat both of which are hill streams rising from the Similipal hills.

Then the river passes through Baripada. It later flows through Balasore district and

into the Bay of Bengal. The Budhabalanga is about 175 kilometres (109 mi) long and

has a total catchment area of 4,840 square kilometres (1,870 sq mi). Its major

tributaries are the Sona, Gangahar, and the Katra. Burhabalang and its tributaries, viz.

FIRECLAY MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

Sona Nadi, Amrutia Nadi, Gangahar Nadi drain almost round the year in the present

area. Sona Nadi receives the watery effluent load through a nalah (Sankh nalah) from

the Balgopalpur Industrial Estate and flows from west to east. Amrutia Nadi flows

from NNW to SSE and carries the waste water load of East Coast. Subarnrekha

originate from Nagri of Jharkhand and then enter into Mayurbhanj district, very less

portion of the river flows within Mayurbhanj district, Major portion of Subarnarekha

River passes in the Balasore district. Another river Jambhira runs in Mayurbhanj

district then enters into Balasore district and Renamed as river Jalaka flows into Bay

of Bengal. Other small rivers run in this district like River Khadkhai originates from

Tunhgru R.F. and plunges through Suleipat Dam (Khadkhai Reserviour). It then runs

towards Rairangpur, Bahalda, Tiringi area of western direction of Mayurbhanj district

and finally reached at River Subarnarekha. River Deo rises from Similipal R.F. and

runs towards western part of the district and flows through Karanjia area and then

joins with Baitarani River. River Khairabandhan originates from Similipal R.F. and

flows towards western part of the Mayurbhanj district through Jashipur, Raruan,

Sukruli area of district and then joins with River Baitarani This river maintains a

sluggish flow in the pre-monsoon period, but swells menacingly with the onset of

monsoon often flooding large tracts. Another small tributary named as Kanhu starts

from River Khadkhai and branched into Jalapa, Ghagera nala meets at Jharbeda area

of Mayurbhanj District.

6.2 Agriculture Land:

Mayurbhanj is surrounded by no of forest areas as well as Rocky Mountains. People

used to cultivate Paddy in most parts of the hill slopes and in plain lands. Most of the

cultivators grow short duration local paddy in the un-bonded upland during Kharif

season. The crop suffers moisture stress at different stages due to inadequate rainfall.

The primary objective of Agriculture Department is increase of production as well as

productivity of major crops like paddy, groundnut, mustard, Mung, Biri & vegetables

which is widely covered in this District in both Kharif & Rabi season. Another key

objective is the all round development of the farming community of the District. The

Deputy Director of Agriculture is the head of office so far as agriculture is concerned &

he is the Principal Agriculture Officer of the District. Under him there are 5 District

Agriculture Officers & the block under them. As already pointed out, that agriculture is

the main livelihood of the people in Mayurbhanj District. It is therefore also

designated as the food bowl of Odisha. Rice is the principal crop grown in this district,

followed by other cereals, pulses, oilseeds, vegetables, spices and sugarcane. The

agricultural statistics for the district is shown in subsequent tables below:

6.3 Horticulture Land:

The primary objective of Horticulture Department is increase of production as well as

productivity of major fruits like Mango, Guava, Citrus etc., which is widely covered in

this District. Another key objective is the all round development of the farming

community of the District. The Deputy Director of Horticulture is the head of office.

7.0 SURFACE WATER AND GROUND WATER SCENARIO OF THE DISTRICT

7.1 Hydrogeology

Distribution of Saline / fresh water aquifers:

The occurrence of fresh water aquifers in coastal tract of Mayurbhanj restricted by

two important factors‐ (i) Occurrence of hard rocks in the western side and (ii) Salinity

hazard problems in the eastern part. The water bearing formation of the area can be

divided into (a) areas underlain by fractured, fissured and consolidated basement rock

formations (b) areas underlain by recent unconsolidated alluvial formations.

(a) Consolidated Formation - These are most predominant rock types occurring in

the undulating plains of the district. Groundwater occurs under unconfined condition

in the shallow weathered zone and circulates through fractures and joints. The

thickness of the weathered zone varies from 3 to 35 m. Depth of open wells in these

formations varies from 5 to 14 m below ground level.

(b) Unconsolidated alluvial formations - The unconsolidated formations consists of

laterite and alluvium. Laterites at places are highly consolidated and used as building

stones. The laterites have high degree of effective porosity and form potential

aquifers commonly tapped in dug wells. The alluvium comprises an admixture of clay,

silt, sand and calcareous concretions in varying proportions. The coarse sediments like

sand and gravel form the main repository of ground water. Ground water occurs

under both unconfined condition in shallow aquifers and in confined condition in

deeper parts.

7.2 Depth of water level:

The depth to water level map for pre and post monsoon periods 2011 are prepared

based on the ground water monitoring data of 77 Nos of National Hydrograph

Stations of C.G.W.B. monitored during the month of April and November 2006 are

presented below respectively. The pre and post monsoon depth to water levels in the

district range from 3.54 to 14.50 m below ground level and 1.39 to 8.20 m below

ground level respectively. It is observed that during pre monsoon about 75% of the

total areas show the water level varying between 5 to 10 m below ground level.

During post monsoon nearly 60% of the area has water levels within 2 to 5 m,

while the rest part has between 0 to 2 and 4 to 6 m below ground levels. In localized

part of Morada, Kaptipada and Thakurmunda the water level is > 5 mt.

7.3 Ground Water Quality

The chemical quality of ground water in the district has been assessed on the basis of

chemical analysis of ground water samples collected during groundwater monitoring,

Hydrogeological surveys and groundwater exploration. The results of the chemical

analysis are presented in Table.

7.4 Ground Water Development

In the rural areas the entire water supply is dependent on ground water. Ground

water development is mainly carried out in the district through dug wells and Hand

pumps. In general dug wells are of 2 m diameter and the depth ranges between 8 to

15 m depending on the thickness of the weathered zone, tapping the shallow aquifer

in the weathered zone and uppermost slice of the basement. Large number of dug

wells used for drinking water is under private ownership for which there is no reliable

data. Over the years Mark II/ Mark III hand pumps are being drilled in large numbers

for ground water development. These hand pumps have the following two major

advantages i) less susceptible to contamination from surface sources and ii) tap

fractures between 20-60m depth which have been found to be less affected by

seasonal water level fluctuation and thus have lesser chances of failure even during

extreme summer. Over all the present level of ground water development is only

27.21 percent in the district with the maximum in Badasahi Block viz. 64.65% and

minimum in Bijatala Block. Block wise development figure indicate that all the blocks

come under the white categories. Thus there is ample scope for development of

groundwater in the district to augment irrigation potentials through suitable ground

water abstraction structure

7.5 Ground Water Related Issue and Problems

Some of key ground water related issues are

I. Locating suitable sites for bore wells

II. Suitable design of dug wells and hand pumps

III. Taking up artificial recharge projects to augment the resource availability in

7.8 RECOMMENDATIONS:

1) Intensive groundwater exploration should be taken up to delineate deeper

potential water saturated fracture zones and to compute aquifer parameter.

2) Large scale planning for ground water development should be preceded by

intensive hydrogeological and geophysical surveys aided by remote sensing

studies.

3) Effective measures may be taken to conserve the surface run off by contour

bonding at suitable sites. Also proper maintenance of reservoir, tanks and spring

channels by periodical disiltation should be carried out.

4) Existing dug-wells should be deepened to tap the maximum saturated thickness of

the weathered mantle or vertical bores may be drilled through the bottom to

enhance the well yield.

5) Energy station of wells already constructed should be stepped up to ensure

optimal utilization of the irrigation potential already created.

6) The farmers should be educated through agricultural extension services fro

adopting suitable cropping pattern for optimal utilization of available groundwater

resources.

7) Programmes for artificial recharge may also be taken up for augmentation of

groundwater through construction of percolation tanks, subsurface dykes, and

check dams and through contour bonding etc.

8) An intensive network of groundwater monitoring stations are required to be

31

established in the command areas of irrigation projects to monitor the changes in

groundwater regime consequent on application of surface water irrigation.

15. QUALITY/GRADE OF MINERAL AVAILABLE IN THE DISTRICT:

Rocks and Minerals found in Mayurbhanj District:-

The district is endowed with various types of mineral resources like Iron ore, China

Clay, Fireclay, Quartz; Soap stone, Granite, Manganese, etc. Due to presence of

huge mineral resources, mining activities have been undertaken in a big scale.

Bahalda, Jashipur, Karanjia, Koshorpur, Bisoi, Gorumahisani and Rairangpur are the

places in the district having deposits of the above mineral products. The availability

of mineral deposits is given in the table below. The district’s mineral deposits have

not been utilized to maximum extent for industrial purpose. Some of the items like

FIRECLAY MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

36

China clay, Soap stone, Asbestos, etc. can be used in small scale sector. So the

available resources of the district need harnessing properly for industrial and

productive use. Fireclay deposits of the district are very much suitable for various

industrial uses.

16. USE OF MINERAL

Uses of Fireclay:

Fire clay is resistant to high temperatures, having fusion points higher than 1,600 °C

(2,910 °F); therefore it is suitable for lining furnaces, as fire brick. Because of its

stability during firing in the kiln, it can be used to make complex items of pottery such

as pipes and sanitary ware. Fire clay is clay that has a high degree of resistance to

heat. The term fire clay is commonly held to exclude kaolin and other refractory

potter's clays. Fire clay should contain high percentages of silica and alumina, with as

little as possible of such impurities as lime, magnesia, soda, and potash, which lower

the fusion point of the clay. Fire clay often forms the bed layer of earth under seams

of coal. Two types are recognized—flint clay, exceedingly hard, nonplastic, and

resembling flint in appearance occurring in as plastic fire clay. The principal uses of

fire clay are in the manufacture of firebrick and of various accessory utensils, such as

crucibles, saggers, retorts, and glass pots, used in the metalworking industries.

17. DEMAND AND SUPPLY OF THE MINERAL IN THE LAST THREE YEARS:

As such there are huge infrastructural and industrial activities are coming up by State

govt., Govt. of India & PSUs under ―Make in India‖ programme. The main raw

minerals for the above activities and considering the last three years actual

productions with respect to the requirement of the state has a huge gap. It is

proposed to start the production from larger block/area to at least double the

production of the district which will enhance the revenue of the district and also

support the livelihood of the local people

LEASE VIZ. NUMBER OF MINING LEASES, LOCATION (LATITUDE AND

LONGITUDE)

Currently there is no cluster of Fireclay mining lease in the district. However, it is

proposed to consider the cluster of mining lease while planning for new lease area in

coming years.

20. DETAILS OF ECO-SENSITIVE AREA, IF ANY, IN THE DISTRICT:

Eco sensitive zone of Similipal wild life sanctuary is located within the district.

21. IMPACTS OF MINING ON ENVIRONMENT:

The most important environmental impact of mining projects is:-

Transportation sources:

Transportation sources of air pollutants include heavy vehicles used in excavation

operations, cars that transport personnel at the mining site, and trucks that transport

mining materials. The level of polluting emissions from these sources depends on the

fuel and conditions of the equipment. Even though individual emissions can be

relatively small, collectively these emissions can be of real concern. In addition,

mobile sources are a major source of particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and volatile

organic compounds that contribute significantly to the formation of ground-level ozone

Fugitive emissions:

Common sources of fugitive emissions include: storage and handling of materials;

mine processing; fugitive dust, blasting, construction activities, and roadways

associated with mining activities; leach pads, and tailing piles and ponds; and waste

rock piles. Sources and characteristics of fugitive emissions dust in mining operations

vary in each case, as do their impacts. Impacts are difficult to predict and calculate

but should be considered since they could be a significant source of hazardous air

pollutants.

FIRECLAY MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

38

Noise and vibration:

Noise pollution associated with mining may include noise from vehicle engines,

loading and unloading of rock into steel dumpers, chutes, power generation, and

other sources. Cumulative impacts of shoveling, ripping, drilling, blasting, transport,

crushing, grinding, and stock-piling can significantly affect wildlife and nearby

residents.

Vibrations are associated with many types of equipment used in mining operations,

but blasting is considered the major source. Vibration has affected the stability of

infrastructures, buildings, and homes of people living near large-scale open-pit mining

operations. According to a study commissioned by the European Union in 2000:

―Shocks and vibrations as a result of blasting in connection with mining can lead to

noise, dust and collapse of structures in surrounding inhabited areas. The animal life,

on which the local population may depend, might also be disturbed.‖

22. REMEDIAL MEASURES TO MITIGATE THE IMPACT OF MINING ON THE

ENVIRONMENT:

1. Following are the remedial measures to mitigate the in Water sprinkling on haul

road, loading and unloading points.

2. Plantation along the safety zone and dump area.

3. Providing dust masks to workers.

4. Regular monitoring of ambient air quality.

5. Provision of air conditioned cabin of Excavators and Dumpers.

6. Regular and proper maintenance of working equipments.

7. Periodic medical examination of the workers and organize medical camp in the area.

8. Use Milli Second Delay Detonator in blasting operation.

9. Provisions of ear plug to the workers.

10. Regular training programme to the mines workers and operators.

23. RECLAMATION OF MINED OUT AREA

Necessity of Reclamation & Rehabilitation:

Exponential growth in mineral production since 1980.

Mining activities causes physical, chemical, biological and socio-economic changes in

FIRECLAY MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

39

the area.

Surface mining activities disturb the original land profile.

In India, mineral production comes mostly from opencast mines & hence land

degradation problems are of serious concern.

An intricate, in-depth and site-specified techniques involving integrated approach is

necessary.

Reclamation has three vital roles:

i. Reclamation – Reclamation means return the mined-out land with useful life. It

implies restoring the land to a form and productivity that is useful and inconformity

with a prior land use. Reclamation always may not be a single- phase operation.

ii. Rehabilitation – Rehabilitation is to bring batch the degraded land to a normal

stage by a special treatment. It is a process of taking some mitigation measures for

disturbed environmental condition created through mining activities.

iii. Restoration – Restoration is the process of returning the mined out land being

fit to an acceptable environmental condition. However, the general acceptable

meaning of the term is bringing the disturbed land to its original form. Restoration is

often used to indicate that biological properties of soil are put back to what they were.

This is a rate phenomenon.

iv. When active mining ceases, mine facilities and the site are reclaimed and closed.

The goal of mine site reclamation and closure should always be to return the site to a

condition that most resembles the pre-mining condition. Mines that are notorious for

their immense impact on the environment often made impacts only during the closure

phase, when active mining operations ceased. These impacts can persist for decades

and even centuries.

Mine reclamation and closure plans must describe in sufficient detail how the mining

company will restore the site to a condition that most resembles pre-mining

environmental quality; how it will prevent – in perpetuity – the release of toxic

contaminants from various mine facilities (such as abandoned open pits and tailings

impoundments); and how funds will be set aside to insure that the costs of

reclamation and closure will be paid for.

Proposed future land use after reclamation:

a. Forestry, b. Recreation, c. Water Reservoir, d. Crop Land,

FIRECLAY MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

40

e. residential/Commercial, f. Fish & wildlife Habitat, g. Undeveloped Land,

h. Grazing/Pasture Land

Statutory requirement:

As per the Mineral Conservation Development Rule, 2017, the following rules must be

bare in mind by the mine owner/agent/manager, which is a part of reclamation

activities –

Rule 22, Mine Closure Plan

Rule 23, Submission of Progressive Mine Closure Plan Rule 24, Submission of Final

Mine Closure Plan

Rule 26, Responsibility of holder of mining lease Rule 27, Financial Assurance

Rule 35, Sustainable Mining

24. RISK ASSESSMENT AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN:

Mining activity because of the very nature of the operation, complexity of the

systems, procedures and methods always involves some amount of hazards. Hazard

identification and risk analysis is carried for identification of undesirable events that

can leads to a hazard, the analysis of hazard mechanism by which this undesirable

event could occur and usually the estimation of extent, magnitude and likelihood of

harmful effects. The activities which can cause high risk related to face stability and

the person blasting the shots. It was observed that on a working face of the mine,

there were large cracks and unsupported rocks were present, which can lead to a

serious hazard and injure workers engaged in loading operation and machineries

because of rock falls or slides. This type of condition turn out because improper

dressing of the bench and improper supervision. To avoid the hazards due to fall of

rocks the face must be examined, made suitable for working and the remedial

measures must be taken to make it safe if there is any doubt that a collapse could

take place. Working of the face should be in the direction taking into account the

geology of the area such that face and quarry side remain stable. Another major risk

identified in mines is due to the firing of explosive by an unqualified person. In the

mines there is problem of fly rocks and the village is located close to the mine and so

it is rated high as it can affect may people. Explosives by nature have the potential for

the most serious and catastrophic accident. Planning of round of shots, holes correctly

drilled, direction logged, weight of explosive suitable for good fragmentation are the

FIRECLAY MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

41

few of the steps necessary to ensure its safe use and if the shots are not properly

designed can result in misfires, early ignition and flying rocks. No person is allowed to

use explosives without being properly trained in its handling. In the mine a large

numbers of heavy vehicles were in operation and the roads were not proper for

haulage purpose. The haulage roads were not even and were not wide enough for the

crossing purpose and hence the chances of hazards are very high. The main hazards

arising from the use large earth moving vehicles are incompetent drivers, brake

failure, lack of all-around visibility from the driver position, vehicle movements

particularly reversing, roll over, and maintenance. Those most at risk are the driver

and pedestrians likely to be struck by the vehicle, and drivers of smaller vehicles,

which cannot be seen from the cabs of large vehicles. Edge protection is always

necessary to prevent inadvertent movement over the edge of roadway or a bench.

Seatbelt will protect driver in case of roll. Good maintenance and regular testing are

necessary to reduce the possibility of brake failure. Access to the vehicles should

always be restricted to those people necessary for the work in hand. The use of

personal protective equipment and proper arrangements is essential to check if the

person is wearing protective equipment or not. The personal protective equipment

includes helmet, non-skid safety boots, safety glasses, earmuffs etc. The required

personal protective equipment should be provided and used in a manner that protects

the individual from injury. Few minor injuries which can be prevented are slip, trip, or

fall hazards; hazards due to rock falls and collapse of unstable rocks, atmosphere

containing toxic or combustible gases; protects from chemical or hazardous material

etc. A disaster management plan should be prepared for taking care of for any

disaster. Other risks which are included in this category are noise, as it occurs and it

can lead to permanent disability. There are problems related to road traffic in and out

issuers; inappropriate exposure of moving machines; mechanical failure and because

of large number of moving trucks and dumpers there is large quantity of dust present

in roadways which affects the operators and can lead to accidents causing injury.

They are in acceptable range because of precautions measures taken but no step is

taken it can cause hazard hence steps should be taken to reduce the hazards such as

for dust suppression system should be installed. Other problems like occurrence of

FIRECLAY MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

42

lots of mosquitoes in the area due to unhygienic conditions which affect the human

health causing malaria, dengue etc. and causing a person to be hospitalized.

Disaster in the mines like fires, explosions, entrapments, and inundations can occur

any time, so emergency preparedness is a must. The Disaster management plan and

risk assessment in the mines will include all sorts of above mentioned emergency and

the extent that this plan will be implemented will depend on the nature and scope of

the emergency. The basic purpose of Disaster management plan and risk assessment

to ensure that mine rescue and recovery activities are conducted safely for rescuer

and survivors. According to MMR act 1961 a standard operating procedure should be

drawn for involvement different category of staff and officers. The SOP should be

updated periodically to reduce the chaos and response to the emergency should be

quick and smooth. The responsible person should be familiar with his responsibility

during the mock drills. One or two standby should be there to replace the person in

Emergency situation. Rescue operations should not include the survivors for any

assistance.

First Information of Disaster / Emergency should go to the attendance clerk on duty.

Duties of attendance Clerk (Emergency Siren) the attendance clerk or other

designated person should on getting information of major accident, sound a hooter or

a siren immediately declaring a state of emergency at the mine and then to contact

the manager and on his advice to call key personnel using the information listed in the

Emergency Organization Chart. It is important that all telephone calls are recorded in

a telephone log book. Duties of Other Officials should be displayed and handed over

to all concerned. Copy the same should be kept at Manager’s Office for ready

reference. Establishment of Control Room at Unit Level, Area Level and Company

Level is essential. Control Room should keep the contact information about –

Attendance roaster and duty charge register should be properly maintained so the

record of missing people can be obtained.

25. DETAILS OF THE OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH ISSUE IN THE DISTRICT:

The persons employed in the mines are exposed to a number of hazards at work

which adversely affect their health. Some of the important ones are dust, noise, heat,

humidity, vibration etc. In recent times, there has been increasing awareness among

mining industry and the workers about occupational diseases like Pneumoconiosis,

Silicosis, Tuberculosis, Hearing Impairment etc. caused by exposure to health hazards

at work. Almost all occupational diseases can be prevented by adopting proper

occupational health measures and engineering control on airborne dust pollution at

workplace. Occupational Diseases in mines or industry is required to conduct medical

examinations and health surveillance of workers as per the provisions of Mines Act.

The present efforts of mines management are concentrated on detection of silicosis,

Pneumoconiosis and other notified diseases. The essential features of health

surveillance programme required to be carried out in mines are:

(a) Initial Medical Examination of persons to be conducted at the time of

appointment.

(b) Periodic Medical Examination or General physical examination to be conducted

once in every year.

(c) Maintenance of medical records and health services till the person is in service.

26. PLANTATION GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT IN RESPECT OF LEASE

ALREADY GRANTED IN THE DISTRICT:

During mining operation green belt development through plantation is most important

for environment safe guard, which should be supervision by mining department.

Different type of species should be planted near lease periphery to keep environment

clean at post mining period through reclamation. Where specific usefulness of land

could be decided, a forestation is normally planned through the site could have been

considered for better possibilities of land use.

27. CONCLUSION:

Since it is an interim report, to meet the requirement of minerals in the present

scenario, it is proposed to identify such potential areas at certain interval and get the

data bank of DSR to be updated. The insitu mining activity in any area is on one hand

bring revenue and employment (Direct and indirect) and on other hand if not done

properly potential pollution and ecological imbalance increases, the ability of the

ecosystem can also be reduced. Particulate matter transported by the wind as a result

of excavations, blasting, transportation of materials, heavy equipments used raise

these particulate levels; and Gas emissions from the combustion of fuels in stationary

and mobile sources, explosions, and mineral processing. All these activities indirectly

affected the biodiversity of area. Larger potential and smaller areas have been

identified in Mayurbhanj district on the basis of geological study carried out during

field observation, which can be considered for mining concession after all the

parameters for statutory clearances are verified by consulting with concerned

authorities.

mineralized area coming under safety zone eco-sensitive zone, mining activity only

confined out of safety zone of eco-sensitive zone. The mining activity in the district is

not only restricted to minor minerals i.e. of sand, stone, granite and brick clays.

Altogether there are leases of Iron-ore (hematite), vanadiferous and titaniferous

magnetic, chaina clay, galena (lead ore), Kyanite, asbestos, steatite (soap stone) and

quartzite constitute the principal mineral resources of Mayurbhanj district, of these the

iron-ore deposits of Gorumahisani, Badampahar and Suleipat, which have been

exploited for a period of about half a century. Stone, granite and sand which has been

granted to the district is regulated as per minerals concession rules of Odisha. There

is no lease of major mineral in the district. At present Leases of stone, sand and bricks

making units are operational in the district. Stone chips, granite stones, ordinary sand

encountered in the district are Granite Gneiss, Quartzite, Orthoquartzite, Arkose,

Shale, Phyllite, Gabbro, Px-granite. The geology of the district is constituted by the

Similipal complex at its central part belonging the Archaean age, unconformably lying

over Singhbhum Granite and Banded Iron Formation (BIF). It consists of three

alternate bands of volcano sedimentary units uniquely disposed in a ring like circular

pattern formed under sub- marine conditions. Baripada Beds outcrops of tertiary

formation occur around Baripada town. These comprise stratified clay and sand with

marly clay or limestone interbands. Important mineral resources include iron, copper,

itanium, vanadium, chinaclay, nickel, kyanite ,quartz, talc, steatite ,soapstone and

bauxite.

4.1 Physiography & Geomorphology:

Mayurbhanj district presents diverse physiographic features, Physiographically the

study area can be divided into 3 categories. The first physiographic unit of the district

is high mountain ranges, Similipal Complex being at its central part (Figure 1). The

mountain ranges comprise mainly of highland plateau and valleys with intrusive

running through them. The second physiographic unit is Tertiary Plain occurring in the

eastern part of the district. The third physiographic unit is Alluvial Plain which lies

partly in Rasgovindpur, Morada, Samakhunta, Betnoti, Baripada, Badasahi and

Suliapada Blocks. The highest elevation of about 559m at Bahalda near Similpal hill

and higher elevations of the district, due to scarp landforms some waterfalls are

observed in the district. The general slope of the district is from north to south.

Geologically the area is comprised with Archean granites and gneisses.

Geomorphologically the district is divided into 3 units:

i) The denudational hills with moderate to high slope occurring in the western part of

the district.

ii) Dissected pediments having gentle slope.

4.3 Mineral Resources:

The earliest known geological survey in Mayurbhanj dates back to 1903, when P.N.

Bose brought to light the extensive iron-ore deposits of high quantity on the

Gorumahisani and Suleipat hills in Bamanghaty Sub-Division. These deposits were

considered to be almost inexhaustible and were pronounced to be of excellent quality,

perhaps second to none in the whole of Asia by the famous American and English

experts like M/s Perin, Weld and Colonel Staddart, who visited these deposits during

1905-06. This discovery was a momentous one as the steel plant of the Tata Iron &

Steel Co. at Jamshedpur was entirely based on the exploitation of these deposits. By

1915, important discoveries of Steatite near Lulung and placer gold from the sands of

Subarnarekha, Kharkhai and Barhai rivers had been made. The placer gold deposits

were being worked by M/s J.B. Bettie of Calcutta, Mr. V.G. Piggot of Ghatsila and the

Mayurbhanj Prospecting Concession Syndicate.

Gold: The mid-Archaean Gorumahisani-Badampahar schist belt composed of basic

ultrabasic, volcanic rocks and volcanogenic sediments. This belt has been

prognosticated as a rift-type of volcanic dominated one and is highly potential for

economic grade gold mineralization. Likely targets include: a) auriferous quartz veins

close to the contact of sulphide chert volcanics, b) sheared and sulphidised Fe-rich

tholeiite with anomalous copper, c) epigenetic vein type of mineralization and BIF

volcanic association, and d) sulphidic conglomerate resting over the basic volcanics.

Placer gold occurrence are known from rivers and stream of Mayurbhanj district. An

area of about 5 square kilometers of alluvium at the headwaters of Sapgora and Borai

rivers near Kudersai was indicated as promising.

Iron: Bose discovered iron ore deposits in Gorumahisani and Badampahar in the

eastwhile princely state of Mayurbhanj (now Mayurbhanj District). Gorumahisani

deposits were investigated by Perin & Weld (1905). Gorumahisani- Badampahar-

Suleipat deposits are associated with banded hematite / magnetite grunerite and BHJ.

Vanadium Ores & Titanium: Vanadium is an important alloying element. Magnetite

associated with gabbro- anorthosite suite of rocks contain vanadium and titanium.

Deposits of vanadium-magnetite occur in association with gabbro-Anorthosite suite of

rocks in the precambrian metamorphites. Vanadium bearing magnetite belts are :-

(a) Rairangpur – Bisoi belt (Kumardubi, Betjharan Amdabeda)

(b) Bisoi – Joshipur belt (Mayurbeka, Kesham, Sialnoi)

(c) Baripada – Podadiha belt (Andipur, Bahalda)

Pyrophyllite : is mainly used as a high grade ceramic product, electric insulator and

refractory material. The comp. is Al2O34SiO2 H20. It is formed as an alteration product

of feldspar. Pyrophyllite occurrences are reported at Kankrani, Jashipur,

Gorumahisani, Bangriposhi and Manada in Mayurbhnaj dist. Ichinda, Khairakocha,

Jamukunda, Nakulkocha, Kapadiha, Dunguridiha, Maheshpur, Kashidiha, Sagragora

and Pokpoka. Dimension stone of the district are granite, granite-gneiss, migmatites,

syenite, gabbro, anorthosite, charnockite, leptynite, pyroxene granulite, dolerite,

pyroxinite and dunite etc.

Bauxite: In Similipal complex (Mayurbhanj) aluminous laterite/ Bauxite are observed

around 1000 m AMSL. The spongy aluminous laterite/bauxite occurs as sheets and

boulders occupying the flat-topped hills made up of metavolcanics. Both

ultramafics and metavolcanics are lateritised giving rise to nickeliferous laterite and

aluminous laterite respectively.

China Clay clay like material approximating the mineral Kaolinite (Al2O3, 2SIO2,

2H2O). China clay is found to occur in a long belt stretching from Singhbhum to

Mayurbhanj. Badampahar-Joshipur- Karanjia – Ramachandrapur belt is the most

important china-clay producing area of the state. The important deposits in

Mayurbhanj district are found near Jashipur, Chanchbani, Dumuria, Jamda, Kodadiha,

Jamkeswar and Thakurmunda. China clay has many industrial applications as filler in

paper, textile, rubber, in the manufacture of potteries, ceramics, sanitary wares,

glazed tiles, white cement, insecticides, paints, cosmetics, refractory bricks etc. Soap

stone and Steatite Asbestos is mined from Mayurbhanj area.

Talc, Steatite and Soapstone: Important localities of these deposits in Mayurbhanj

dist are Tiring, Kendumundi and Kharidamak.

Kyanite: Kyanite deposits of refractory grade occur in Panijia area of Mayurbhanj

dist, where it is associated with dumortierite bearing rocks, qtz-veins, quartz-mica-

schists and talc-tremolite-schist. Other kyanite occurrence include Purnapani &

Similipal.

Quartz & Quartzite: Quartz and silica sand are mostly used in glass foundry,

ferrosilicon alloy, ceramic industry, abrasive, paint, rubber, textile industries.

Transparent varieties of quartz such as rock crystal, amethyst, citrine, Rosequartz and

smoky quartz are used as semi-precious gemstone. Quartz is a piezoelectric material

and is used in radio circuit, Radars and ultra-sonic devices. Quartzite is a

monomineralic rock constituted predominantly of quartz. There are 6 mining leases

for quartz and quartzite in Mayurbhanj dist.

High Magnesia rock: are found in Notapahar, Thakurmunda, Amjori and

Badampahar of Mayurbhanj Dist.

5.1 River System

The Budhabalanga River (also called Balanga River) flows through the districts

of Mayurbhanj & Balasore and finally reached Bay of Bengal. The Budhabalanga, rises

from Similipal hills and plunges through Barehipani Falls, the second-highest waterfall

in India, located in Similipal National Park. It then flows in a northerly direction up to

the village Karanjiapal in Bangiriposi police-station. Thereafter, it turns to the north-

east and flows along the railway track up to the village Jhankapahadi. There it

changes its course to the south and meets the Katra nala. The other tributaries are

the Palpala and the Chipat both of which are hill streams rising from the Similipal hills.

Then the river passes through Baripada. It later flows through Balasore district and

into the Bay of Bengal. The Budhabalanga is about 175 kilometres (109 mi) long and

has a total catchment area of 4,840 square kilometres (1,870 sq mi). Its major

tributaries are the Sona, Gangahar, and the Katra. Burhabalang and its tributaries, viz.

DECORATIVE STONE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

20

Sona Nadi, Amrutia Nadi, Gangahar Nadi drain almost round the year in the present

area. Sona Nadi receives the watery effluent load through a nalah (Sankh nalah) from

the Balgopalpur Industrial Estate and flows from west to east. Amrutia Nadi flows

from NNW to SSE and carries the waste water load of East Coast. Subarnrekha

originate from Nagri of Jharkhand and then enter into Mayurbhanj district, very less

portion of the river flows within Mayurbhanj district, Major portion of Subarnarekha

River passes in the Balasore district. Another river Jambhira runs in Mayurbhanj

district then enters into Balasore district and Renamed as river Jalaka flows into Bay

of Bengal. Other small rivers run in this district like River Khadkhai originates from

Tunhgru R.F. and plunges through Suleipat Dam (Khadkhai Reserviour). It then runs

towards Rairangpur, Bahalda, Tiringi area of western direction of Mayurbhanj district

and finally reached at River Subarnarekha. River Deo rises from Similipal R.F. and

runs towards western part of the district and flows through Karanjia area and then

joins with Baitarani River. River Khairabandhan originates from Similipal R.F. and

flows towards western part of the Mayurbhanj district through Jashipur, Raruan,

Sukruli area of district and then joins with River Baitarani This river maintains a

sluggish flow in the pre-monsoon period, but swells menacingly with the onset of

monsoon often flooding large tracts. Another small tributary named as Kanhu starts

from River Khadkhai and branched into Jalapa, Ghagera nala meets at Jharbeda area

of Mayurbhanj District.

6.2 Agriculture Land:

Mayurbhanj is surrounded by no of forest areas as well as Rocky Mountains. People

used to cultivate Paddy in most parts of the hill slopes and in plain lands. Most of the

cultivators grow short duration local paddy in the un-bonded upland during Kharif

season. The crop suffers moisture stress at different stages due to inadequate rainfall.

The primary objective of Agriculture Department is increase of production as well as

productivity of major crops like paddy, groundnut, mustard, Mung, Biri & vegetables

which is widely covered in this District in both Kharif & Rabi season. Another key

objective is the all round development of the farming community of the District. The

Deputy Director of Agriculture is the head of office so far as agriculture is concerned &

he is the Principal Agriculture Officer of the District. Under him there are 5 District

Agriculture Officers & the block under them. As already pointed out, that agriculture is

the main livelihood of the people in Mayurbhanj District. It is therefore also

designated as the food bowl of Odisha. Rice is the principal crop grown in this district,

followed by other cereals, pulses, oilseeds, vegetables, spices and sugarcane. The

agricultural statistics for the district is shown in subsequent tables below:

6.3 Horticulture Land:

The primary objective of Horticulture Department is increase of production as well as

productivity of major fruits like Mango, Guava, Citrus etc., which is widely covered in

this District. Another key objective is the all round development of the farming

community of the District. The Deputy Director of Horticulture is the head of office.

7.0 SURFACE WATER AND GROUND WATER SCENARIO OF THE DISTRICT

7.1 Hydrogeology

Distribution of Saline / fresh water aquifers:

The occurrence of fresh water aquifers in coastal tract of Mayurbhanj restricted by

two important factors‐ (i) Occurrence of hard rocks in the western side and (ii) Salinity

hazard problems in the eastern part. The water bearing formation of the area can be

divided into (a) areas underlain by fractured, fissured and consolidated basement rock

formations (b) areas underlain by recent unconsolidated alluvial formations.

(a) Consolidated Formation - These are most predominant rock types occurring in

the undulating plains of the district. Groundwater occurs under unconfined condition

in the shallow weathered zone and circulates through fractures and joints. The

thickness of the weathered zone varies from 3 to 35 m. Depth of open wells in these

formations varies from 5 to 14 m below ground level.

(b) Unconsolidated alluvial formations - The unconsolidated formations consists of

laterite and alluvium. Laterites at places are highly consolidated and used as building

stones. The laterites have high degree of effective porosity and form potential

aquifers commonly tapped in dug wells. The alluvium comprises an admixture of clay,

silt, sand and calcareous concretions in varying proportions. The coarse sediments like

sand and gravel form the main repository of ground water. Ground water occurs

under both unconfined condition in shallow aquifers and in confined condition in

deeper parts.

7.2 Depth of water level:

The depth to water level map for pre and post monsoon periods 2011 are prepared

based on the ground water monitoring data of 77 Nos of National Hydrograph

Stations of C.G.W.B. monitored during the month of April and November 2006 are

presented below respectively. The pre and post monsoon depth to water levels in the

district range from 3.54 to 14.50 m below ground level and 1.39 to 8.20 m below

ground level respectively. It is observed that during pre monsoon about 75% of the

total areas show the water level varying between 5 to 10 m below ground level.

During post monsoon nearly 60% of the area has water levels within 2 to 5 m,

while the rest part has between 0 to 2 and 4 to 6 m below ground levels. In localized

part of Morada, Kaptipada and Thakurmunda the water level is > 5 mt.

7.3 Ground Water Quality

The chemical quality of ground water in the district has been assessed on the basis of

chemical analysis of ground water samples collected during groundwater monitoring,

Hydrogeological surveys and groundwater exploration. The results of the chemical

analysis are presented in Table.

7.4 Ground Water Development

In the rural areas the entire water supply is dependent on ground water. Ground

water development is mainly carried out in the district through dug wells and Hand

pumps. In general dug wells are of 2 m diameter and the depth ranges between 8 to

15 m depending on the thickness of the weathered zone, tapping the shallow aquifer

in the weathered zone and uppermost slice of the basement. Large number of dug

wells used for drinking water is under private ownership for which there is no reliable

data. Over the years Mark II/ Mark III hand pumps are being drilled in large numbers

for ground water development. These hand pumps have the following two major

advantages i) less susceptible to contamination from surface sources and ii) tap

fractures between 20-60m depth which have been found to be less affected by

seasonal water level fluctuation and thus have lesser chances of failure even during

extreme summer. Over all the present level of ground water development is only

27.21 percent in the district with the maximum in Badasahi Block viz. 64.65% and

minimum in Bijatala Block. Block wise development figure indicate that all the blocks

come under the white categories. Thus there is ample scope for development of

groundwater in the district to augment irrigation potentials through suitable ground

water abstraction structure

7.5 Ground Water Related Issue and Problems

Some of key ground water related issues are

I. Locating suitable sites for bore wells

II. Suitable design of dug wells and hand pumps

III. Taking up artificial recharge projects to augment the resource availability in

IV. Optimal development of irrigation potential by developing ground water available

for future uses.

V. Creating public awareness for conserving ground water through awareness

camps, NGO’s and mass media.

7.8 RECOMMENDATIONS:

1) Intensive groundwater exploration should be taken up to delineate deeper

potential water saturated fracture zones and to compute aquifer parameter.

2) Large scale planning for ground water development should be preceded by

intensive hydrogeological and geophysical surveys aided by remote sensing

studies.

3) Effective measures may be taken to conserve the surface run off by contour

bonding at suitable sites. Also proper maintenance of reservoir, tanks and spring

channels by periodical disiltation should be carried out.

4) Existing dug-wells should be deepened to tap the maximum saturated thickness of

the weathered mantle or vertical bores may be drilled through the bottom to

enhance the well yield.

5) Energy station of wells already constructed should be stepped up to ensure

optimal utilization of the irrigation potential already created.

6) The farmers should be educated through agricultural extension services fro

adopting suitable cropping pattern for optimal utilization of available groundwater

resources.

7) Programmes for artificial recharge may also be taken up for augmentation of

groundwater through construction of percolation tanks, subsurface dykes, and

check dams and through contour bonding etc.

8) An intensive network of groundwater monitoring stations are required to be

31

established in the command areas of irrigation projects to monitor the changes in

groundwater regime consequent on application of surface water irrigation.

15. QUALITY/GRADE OF MINERAL AVAILABLE IN THE DISTRICT:

Rocks and Minerals found in Mayurbhanj District:-

The district is endowed with various types of mineral resources like Iron ore, China

Clay, Quartz, Soap stone, Granite, Manganese, etc. Due to presence of huge

mineral resources, mining activities have been undertaken in a big scale. Bahalda,

Jashipur, Karanjia, Koshorpur, Bisoi, Gorumahisani and Rairangpur are the places in

the district having deposits of the above mineral products. The availability of

DECORATIVE STONE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

36

mineral deposits is given in the table below. The district’s mineral deposits have not

been utilized to maximum extent for industrial purpose. Some of the items like

China clay, Soap stone, Asbestos, etc. can be used in small scale sector. So the

available resources of the district need harnessing properly for industrial and

productive use. Quartz of the district is very much suitable for various industrial

purposes after crushing and screening.

16.USE OF MINERAL

Uses of Decorative Stone (Granite rock):

Granite is the rock most often quarried as a "dimension stone or decorative stone" (a

natural rock material that has been cut into blocks or slabs of specific length, width,

and thickness). Granite is hard enough to resist abrasion, strong enough to bear

significant weight, inert enough to resist weathering, and it accepts a brilliant polish.

These characteristics make it a very desirable and useful dimension stone. Decorative

stone is natural rock that has multiple uses in and around home. Granite is a light-

colored igneous rock with grains large enough to be visible with the unaided eye. It

forms from the slow crystallization of magma below Earth's surface. Granite is

composed mainly of quartz and feldspar with minor amounts of mica, amphiboles, and

other minerals. This mineral composition usually gives granite a red, pink, gray, or

white color with dark mineral grains visible throughout the rock. Many people

recognize granite because it is the most common igneous rock found at Earth's

surface and because granite is used to make many objects that we encounter in daily

life. These include counter tops, floor tiles, paving stone, curbing, stair treads,

building veneer, and cemetery monuments. Granite is used all around us - especially if

you live in a city. It can be used for mulch, ground cover, driveways and filler around

pools and patios. At the surface, granite is exposed in the cores of many mountain

ranges within large areas known as "batholiths," and in the core areas of continents

known as "shields."

17. DEMAND AND SUPPLY OF THE MINERAL IN THE LAST THREE YEARS:

As such there are huge infrastructural and industrial activities are coming up by State

govt., Govt. of India & PSUs under “Make in India” programme. The main raw

minerals for the above activities and considering the last three years actual

productions with respect to the requirement of the state has a huge gap. It is

proposed to start the production from larger block/area to at least double the

production of the district which will enhance the revenue of the district and also

support the livelihood of the local people

LEASE VIZ. NUMBER OF MINING LEASES, LOCATION (LATITUDE AND

LONGITUDE)

Currently there is no cluster of Decorative Stone mining lease in the district. However,

it is proposed to consider the cluster of mining lease while planning for new lease area

in coming years.

20. DETAILS OF ECO-SENSITIVE AREA, IF ANY, IN THE DISTRICT:

Eco sensitive zone of Similipal wild life sanctuary is located within the district.

21. IMPACTS OF MINING ON ENVIRONMENT:

The most important environmental impact of mining projects is:-

Transportation sources:

Transportation sources of air pollutants include heavy vehicles used in excavation

operations, cars that transport personnel at the mining site, and trucks that transport

mining materials. The level of polluting emissions from these sources depends on the

fuel and conditions of the equipment. Even though individual emissions can be

relatively small, collectively these emissions can be of real concern. In addition,

mobile sources are a major source of particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and volatile

organic compounds that contribute significantly to the formation of ground-level ozone

Fugitive emissions:

Common sources of fugitive emissions include: storage and handling of materials;

mine processing; fugitive dust, blasting, construction activities, and roadways

DECORATIVE STONE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

38

associated with mining activities; leach pads, and tailing piles and ponds; and waste

rock piles. Sources and characteristics of fugitive emissions dust in mining operations

vary in each case, as do their impacts. Impacts are difficult to predict and calculate

but should be considered since they could be a significant source of hazardous air

pollutants.

Noise and vibration:

Noise pollution associated with mining may include noise from vehicle engines,

loading and unloading of rock into steel dumpers, chutes, power generation, and

other sources. Cumulative impacts of shoveling, ripping, drilling, blasting, transport,

crushing, grinding, and stock-piling can significantly affect wildlife and nearby

residents.

Vibrations are associated with many types of equipment used in mining operations,

but blasting is considered the major source. Vibration has affected the stability of

infrastructures, buildings, and homes of people living near large-scale open-pit mining

operations. According to a study commissioned by the European Union in 2000:

“Shocks and vibrations as a result of blasting in connection with mining can lead to

noise, dust and collapse of structures in surrounding inhabited areas. The animal life,

on which the local population may depend, might also be disturbed.”

22. REMEDIAL MEASURES TO MITIGATE THE IMPACT OF MINING ON THE

ENVIRONMENT:

1. Following are the remedial measures to mitigate the in Water sprinkling on haul

road, loading and unloading points.

2. Plantation along the safety zone and dump area.

3. Providing dust masks to workers.

4. Regular monitoring of ambient air quality.

5. Provision of air conditioned cabin of Excavators and Dumpers.

6. Regular and proper maintenance of working equipments.

7. Periodic medical examination of the workers and organize medical camp in the area.

8. Use Milli Second Delay Detonator in blasting operation.

9. Provisions of ear plug to the workers.

DECORATIVE STONE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

39

10. Regular training programme to the mines workers and operators.

23. RECLAMATION OF MINED OUT AREA

Necessity of Reclamation & Rehabilitation:

Exponential growth in mineral production since 1980.

Mining activities causes physical, chemical, biological and socio-economic changes in

the area.

Surface mining activities disturb the original land profile.

In India, mineral production comes mostly from opencast mines & hence land

degradation problems are of serious concern.

An intricate, in-depth and site-specified techniques involving integrated approach is

necessary.

Reclamation has three vital roles:

i. Reclamation – Reclamation means return the mined-out land with useful life. It

implies restoring the land to a form and productivity that is useful and inconformity

with a prior land use. Reclamation always may not be a single- phase operation.

ii. Rehabilitation – Rehabilitation is to bring batch the degraded land to a normal

stage by a special treatment. It is a process of taking some mitigation measures for

disturbed environmental condition created through mining activities.

iii. Restoration – Restoration is the process of returning the mined out land being

fit to an acceptable environmental condition. However, the general acceptable

meaning of the term is bringing the disturbed land to its original form. Restoration is

often used to indicate that biological properties of soil are put back to what they were.

This is a rate phenomenon.

iv. When active mining ceases, mine facilities and the site are reclaimed and closed.

The goal of mine site reclamation and closure should always be to return the site to a

condition that most resembles the pre-mining condition. Mines that are notorious for

their immense impact on the environment often made impacts only during the closure

phase, when active mining operations ceased. These impacts can persist for decades

and even centuries.

Mine reclamation and closure plans must describe in sufficient detail how the mining

company will restore the site to a condition that most resembles pre-mining

DECORATIVE STONE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

40

environmental quality; how it will prevent – in perpetuity – the release of toxic

contaminants from various mine facilities (such as abandoned open pits and tailings

impoundments); and how funds will be set aside to insure that the costs of

reclamation and closure will be paid for.

Proposed future land use after reclamation:

a. Forestry, b. Recreation, c. Water Reservoir, d. Crop Land,

e. residential/Commercial, f. Fish & wildlife Habitat, g. Undeveloped Land,

h. Grazing/Pasture Land

Statutory requirement:

As per the Mineral Conservation Development Rule, 2017, the following rules must be

bare in mind by the mine owner/agent/manager, which is a part of reclamation

activities –

Rule 22, Mine Closure Plan

Rule 23, Submission of Progressive Mine Closure Plan Rule 24, Submission of Final

Mine Closure Plan

Rule 26, Responsibility of holder of mining lease Rule 27, Financial Assurance

Rule 35, Sustainable Mining

24. RISK ASSESSMENT AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN:

Mining activity because of the very nature of the operation, complexity of the

systems, procedures and methods always involves some amount of hazards. Hazard

identification and risk analysis is carried for identification of undesirable events that

can leads to a hazard, the analysis of hazard mechanism by which this undesirable

event could occur and usually the estimation of extent, magnitude and likelihood of

harmful effects. The activities which can cause high risk related to face stability and

the person blasting the shots. It was observed that on a working face of the mine,

there were large cracks and unsupported rocks were present, which can lead to a

serious hazard and injure workers engaged in loading operation and machineries

because of rock falls or slides. This type of condition turn out because improper

dressing of the bench and improper supervision. To avoid the hazards due to fall of

rocks the face must be examined, made suitable for working and the remedial

measures must be taken to make it safe if there is any doubt that a collapse could

take place. Working of the face should be in the direction taking into account the

DECORATIVE STONE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

41

geology of the area such that face and quarry side remain stable. Another major risk

identified in mines is due to the firing of explosive by an unqualified person. In the

mines there is problem of fly rocks and the village is located close to the mine and so

it is rated high as it can affect may people. Explosives by nature have the potential for

the most serious and catastrophic accident. Planning of round of shots, holes correctly

drilled, direction logged, weight of explosive suitable for good fragmentation are the

few of the steps necessary to ensure its safe use and if the shots are not properly

designed can result in misfires, early ignition and flying rocks. No person is allowed to

use explosives without being properly trained in its handling. In the mine a large

numbers of heavy vehicles were in operation and the roads were not proper for

haulage purpose. The haulage roads were not even and were not wide enough for the

crossing purpose and hence the chances of hazards are very high. The main hazards

arising from the use large earth moving vehicles are incompetent drivers, brake

failure, lack of all-around visibility from the driver position, vehicle movements

particularly reversing, roll over, and maintenance. Those most at risk are the driver

and pedestrians likely to be struck by the vehicle, and drivers of smaller vehicles,

which cannot be seen from the cabs of large vehicles. Edge protection is always

necessary to prevent inadvertent movement over the edge of roadway or a bench.

Seatbelt will protect driver in case of roll. Good maintenance and regular testing are

necessary to reduce the possibility of brake failure. Access to the vehicles should

always be restricted to those people necessary for the work in hand. The use of

personal protective equipment and proper arrangements is essential to check if the

person is wearing protective equipment or not. The personal protective equipment

includes helmet, non-skid safety boots, safety glasses, earmuffs etc. The required

personal protective equipment should be provided and used in a manner that protects

the individual from injury. Few minor injuries which can be prevented are slip, trip, or

fall hazards; hazards due to rock falls and collapse of unstable rocks, atmosphere

containing toxic or combustible gases; protects from chemical or hazardous material

etc. A disaster management plan should be prepared for taking care of for any

disaster. Other risks which are included in this category are noise, as it occurs and it

can lead to permanent disability. There are problems related to road traffic in and out

issuers; inappropriate exposure of moving machines; mechanical failure and because

DECORATIVE STONE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

42

of large number of moving trucks and dumpers there is large quantity of dust present

in roadways which affects the operators and can lead to accidents causing injury.

They are in acceptable range because of precautions measures taken but no step is

taken it can cause hazard hence steps should be taken to reduce the hazards such as

for dust suppression system should be installed. Other problems like occurrence of

lots of mosquitoes in the area due to unhygienic conditions which affect the human

health causing malaria, dengue etc. and causing a person to be hospitalized.

Disaster in the mines like fires, explosions, entrapments, and inundations can occur

any time, so emergency preparedness is a must. The Disaster management plan and

risk assessment in the mines will include all sorts of above mentioned emergency and

the extent that this plan will be implemented will depend on the nature and scope of

the emergency. The basic purpose of Disaster management plan and risk assessment

to ensure that mine rescue and recovery activities are conducted safely for rescuer

and survivors. According to MMR act 1961 a standard operating procedure should be

drawn for involvement different category of staff and officers. The SOP should be

updated periodically to reduce the chaos and response to the emergency should be

quick and smooth. The responsible person should be familiar with his responsibility

during the mock drills. One or two standby should be there to replace the person in

Emergency situation. Rescue operations should not include the survivors for any

assistance.

First Information of Disaster / Emergency should go to the attendance clerk on duty.

Duties of attendance Clerk (Emergency Siren) the attendance clerk or other

designated person should on getting information of major accident, sound a hooter or

a siren immediately declaring a state of emergency at the mine and then to contact

the manager and on his advice to call key personnel using the information listed in the

Emergency Organization Chart. It is important that all telephone calls are recorded in

a telephone log book. Duties of Other Officials should be displayed and handed over

to all concerned. Copy the same should be kept at Manager’s Office for ready

reference. Establishment of Control Room at Unit Level, Area Level and Company

Level is essential. Control Room should keep the contact information about –

Attendance roaster and duty charge register should be properly maintained so the

record of missing people can be obtained.

25. DETAILS OF THE OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH ISSUE IN THE DISTRICT:

The persons employed in the mines are exposed to a number of hazards at work

which adversely affect their health. Some of the important ones are dust, noise, heat,

humidity, vibration etc. In recent times, there has been increasing awareness among

mining industry and the workers about occupational diseases like Pneumoconiosis,

Silicosis, Tuberculosis, Hearing Impairment etc. caused by exposure to health hazards

at work. Almost all occupational diseases can be prevented by adopting proper

occupational health measures and engineering control on airborne dust pollution at

workplace. Occupational Diseases in mines or industry is required to conduct medical

examinations and health surveillance of workers as per the provisions of Mines Act.

The present efforts of mines management are concentrated on detection of silicosis,

Pneumoconiosis and other notified diseases. The essential features of health

surveillance programme required to be carried out in mines are:

(a) Initial Medical Examination of persons to be conducted at the time of

appointment.

(b) Periodic Medical Examination or General physical examination to be conducted

once in every year.

(c) Maintenance of medical records and health services till the person is in service.

26. PLANTATION GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT IN RESPECT OF LEASE

ALREADY GRANTED IN THE DISTRICT:

During mining operation green belt development through plantation is most important

for environment safe guard, which should be supervision by mining department.

Different type of species should be planted near lease periphery to keep environment

clean at post mining period through reclamation. Where specific usefulness of land

could be decided, a forestation is normally planned through the site could have been

considered for better possibilities of land use.

27. CONCLUSION:

Since it is an interim report, to meet the requirement of minerals in the present

scenario, it is proposed to identify such potential areas at certain interval and get the

data bank of DSR to be updated. The insitu mining activity in any area is on one hand

bring revenue and employment (Direct and indirect) and on other hand if not done

properly potential pollution and ecological imbalance increases, the ability of the

ecosystem can also be reduced. Particulate matter transported by the wind as a result

of excavations, blasting, transportation of materials, heavy equipments used raise

these particulate levels; and Gas emissions from the combustion of fuels in stationary

and mobile sources, explosions, and mineral processing. All these activities indirectly

affected the biodiversity of area. Larger potential and smaller areas have been

identified in Mayurbhanj district on the basis of geological study carried out during

field observation, which can be considered for mining concession after all the

parameters for statutory clearances are verified by consulting with concerned

authorities.

PREAMBLE

Odisha is the major mineral reach in India. Mayurbhanj is a unique district in Odisha

lies on the northern most part of the state with varied mineral resources. In

pursuance of the order of Hon’ble Supreme Court Petition (C) No. 19628-19629 of

2009, dated 27th Feb. 2012 in the matter of Deepak Kumar Vs State of Haryana and

others etc., prior environmental clearance has now become mandatory for mining of

minor minerals irrespective of the area of Mining Lease. And also in view of the

Hon’ble National Green Tribunal, order dated the 13th Jan. 2015 the matter regarding

Road metal/stone, Sand, Brick earth, & burrowed earth cutting for Road Construction

has to take prior Environmental Clearance for Mining Lease area more or less than 5

hectares also suggested making a policy on Environmental Clearance for minor

minerals lease and leases in cluster. As per MOEF & CC Notification S.O.-1533(E)

dated 14th Sept. 2006 and subsequent MoEF & CC Notification S.O. 141(E) dated 15th

Jan. 2016, District Environment Impact Assessment Authority (DEIAA) & District level

Expert Appraisal Committee (DEAC) has been formed for Category –B2 Minor Minerals

having area less than or equal to 5 ha. In compliance to the notification issued by the

Ministry of Environment and Forest and Climate Change Notification no. S.O.3611 (E)

New Delhi dated 25-07-2018; the preparation of district survey report of road

metal/stone mining has been prepared in accordance with Clause II of Appendix X of the

notification.

Keeping in view of the prior information of Odisha Minor Mineral Concession Rule

2004, (OMMCR -2004) the mining operation for minor minerals were carried out in

unscientific manner. Identifying this fact in exercise of power, Conferred by Section 15

by Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act 1957 as amended in 2015

and all other powers enabling it in that behalf, the Mining & Geology Department,

Mayurbhanj district is land features of both plain and hilly region. Most of the

mineralized area coming under safety zone eco-sensitive zone, mining activity only

confined out of safety zone of eco-sensitive zone. The mining activity in the district is

not only restricted to minor minerals i.e. of sand, stone, granite and brick clays.

Altogether there are leases of Iron-ore (hematite), vanadiferous and titaniferous

magnetic, chaina clay, galena (lead ore), Kyanite, asbestos, steatite (soap stone) and

quartzite constitute the principal mineral resources of Mayurbhanj district, of these the

iron-ore deposits of Gorumahisani, Badampahar and Suleipat, which have been

exploited for a period of about half a century. Stone, granite and sand which has been

granted to the district is regulated as per minerals concession rules of Odisha. There

is no lease of major mineral in the district. At present Leases of stone, sand and bricks

making units are operational in the district. Stone chips, granite stones, ordinary sand

encountered in the district are Granite Gneiss, Quartzite, Orthoquartzite, Arkose,

Shale, Phyllite, Gabbro, Px-granite. The geology of the district is constituted by the

Similipal complex at its central part belonging the Archaean age, unconformably lying

over Singhbhum Granite and Banded Iron Formation (BIF). It consists of three

alternate bands of volcano sedimentary units uniquely disposed in a ring like circular

pattern formed under sub- marine conditions. Baripada Beds outcrops of tertiary

formation occur around Baripada town. These comprise stratified clay and sand with

marly clay or limestone interbands. Important mineral resources include iron, copper,

itanium, vanadium, chinaclay, nickel, kyanite ,quartz, talc, steatite ,soapstone and

bauxite.

4.1 Physiography & Geomorphology:

Mayurbhanj district presents diverse physiographic features, Physiographically the

study area can be divided into 3 categories. The first physiographic unit of the district

is high mountain ranges, Similipal Complex being at its central part (Figure 1). The

mountain ranges comprise mainly of highland plateau and valleys with intrusive

running through them. The second physiographic unit is Tertiary Plain occurring in the

eastern part of the district. The third physiographic unit is Alluvial Plain which lies

partly in Rasgovindpur, Morada, Samakhunta, Betnoti, Baripada, Badasahi and

Suliapada Blocks. The highest elevation of about 559m at Bahalda near Similpal hill

and higher elevations of the district, due to scarp landforms some waterfalls are

observed in the district. The general slope of the district is from north to south.

Geologically the area is comprised with Archean granites and gneisses.

Geomorphologically the district is divided into 3 units:

i) The denudational hills with moderate to high slope occurring in the western part of

the district.

ii) Dissected pediments having gentle slope.

4.3 Mineral Resources:

The earliest known geological survey in Mayurbhanj dates back to 1903, when P.N.

Bose brought to light the extensive iron-ore deposits of high quantity on the

Gorumahisani and Suleipat hills in Bamanghaty Sub-Division. These deposits were

considered to be almost inexhaustible and were pronounced to be of excellent quality,

perhaps second to none in the whole of Asia by the famous American and English

experts like M/s Perin, Weld and Colonel Staddart, who visited these deposits during

1905-06. This discovery was a momentous one as the steel plant of the Tata Iron &

Steel Co. at Jamshedpur was entirely based on the exploitation of these deposits. By

1915, important discoveries of Steatite near Lulung and placer gold from the sands of

Subarnarekha, Kharkhai and Barhai rivers had been made. The placer gold deposits

were being worked by M/s J.B. Bettie of Calcutta, Mr. V.G. Piggot of Ghatsila and the

Mayurbhanj Prospecting Concession Syndicate.

Gold: The mid-Archaean Gorumahisani-Badampahar schist belt composed of basic

ultrabasic, volcanic rocks and volcanogenic sediments. This belt has been

prognosticated as a rift-type of volcanic dominated one and is highly potential for

economic grade gold mineralization. Likely targets include: a) auriferous quartz veins

close to the contact of sulphide chert volcanics, b) sheared and sulphidised Fe-rich

tholeiite with anomalous copper, c) epigenetic vein type of mineralization and BIF

volcanic association, and d) sulphidic conglomerate resting over the basic volcanics.

Placer gold occurrence are known from rivers and stream of Mayurbhanj district. An

area of about 5 square kilometers of alluvium at the headwaters of Sapgora and Borai

rivers near Kudersai was indicated as promising.

Iron: Bose discovered iron ore deposits in Gorumahisani and Badampahar in the

eastwhile princely state of Mayurbhanj (now Mayurbhanj District). Gorumahisani

deposits were investigated by Perin & Weld (1905). Gorumahisani- Badampahar-

Suleipat deposits are associated with banded hematite / magnetite grunerite and BHJ.

Vanadium Ores & Titanium: Vanadium is an important alloying element. Magnetite

associated with gabbro- anorthosite suite of rocks contain vanadium and titanium.

Deposits of vanadium-magnetite occur in association with gabbro-Anorthosite suite of

rocks in the precambrian metamorphites. Vanadium bearing magnetite belts are :-

(a) Rairangpur – Bisoi belt (Kumardubi, Betjharan Amdabeda)

(b) Bisoi – Joshipur belt (Mayurbeka, Kesham, Sialnoi)

(c) Baripada – Podadiha belt (Andipur, Bahalda)

Pyrophyllite : is mainly used as a high grade ceramic product, electric insulator and

refractory material. The comp. is Al2O34SiO2 H20. It is formed as an alteration product

of feldspar. Pyrophyllite occurrences are reported at Kankrani, Jashipur,

Gorumahisani, Bangriposhi and Manada in Mayurbhnaj dist. Ichinda, Khairakocha,

Jamukunda, Nakulkocha, Kapadiha, Dunguridiha, Maheshpur, Kashidiha, Sagragora

and Pokpoka. Dimension stone of the district are granite, granite-gneiss, migmatites,

syenite, gabbro, anorthosite, charnockite, leptynite, pyroxene granulite, dolerite,

pyroxinite and dunite etc.

Bauxite: In Similipal complex (Mayurbhanj) aluminous laterite/ Bauxite are observed

around 1000 m AMSL. The spongy aluminous laterite/bauxite occurs as sheets and

boulders occupying the flat-topped hills made up of metavolcanics. Both

ultramafics and metavolcanics are lateritised giving rise to nickeliferous laterite and

aluminous laterite respectively.

China Clay clay like material approximating the mineral Kaolinite (Al2O3, 2SIO2,

2H2O). China clay is found to occur in a long belt stretching from Singhbhum to

Mayurbhanj. Badampahar-Joshipur- Karanjia – Ramachandrapur belt is the most

important china-clay producing area of the state. The important deposits in

Mayurbhanj district are found near Jashipur, Chanchbani, Dumuria, Jamda, Kodadiha,

Jamkeswar and Thakurmunda. China clay has many industrial applications as filler in

paper, textile, rubber, in the manufacture of potteries, ceramics, sanitary wares,

glazed tiles, white cement, insecticides, paints, cosmetics, refractory bricks etc. Soap

stone and Steatite Asbestos is mined from Mayurbhanj area.

Talc, Steatite and Soapstone: Important localities of these deposits in Mayurbhanj

dist are Tiring, Kendumundi and Kharidamak.

Kyanite: Kyanite deposits of refractory grade occur in Panijia area of Mayurbhanj

dist, where it is associated with dumortierite bearing rocks, qtz-veins, quartz-mica-

schists and talc-tremolite-schist. Other kyanite occurrence include Purnapani &

Similipal.

Quartz & Quartzite: Quartz and silica sand are mostly used in glass foundry,

ferrosilicon alloy, ceramic industry, abrasive, paint, rubber, textile industries.

Transparent varieties of quartz such as rock crystal, amethyst, citrine, Rosequartz and

smoky quartz are used as semi-precious gemstone. Quartz is a piezoelectric material

and is used in radio circuit, Radars and ultra-sonic devices. Quartzite is a

monomineralic rock constituted predominantly of quartz. There are 6 mining leases

for quartz and quartzite in Mayurbhanj dist.

5.1 River System

The Budhabalanga River (also called Balanga River) flows through the districts

of Mayurbhanj & Balasore and finally reached Bay of Bengal. The Budhabalanga, rises

from Similipal hills and plunges through Barehipani Falls, the second-highest waterfall

in India, located in Similipal National Park. It then flows in a northerly direction up to

the village Karanjiapal in Bangiriposi police-station. Thereafter, it turns to the north-

east and flows along the railway track up to the village Jhankapahadi. There it

changes its course to the south and meets the Katra nala. The other tributaries are

the Palpala and the Chipat both of which are hill streams rising from the Similipal hills.

Then the river passes through Baripada. It later flows through Balasore district and

into the Bay of Bengal. The Budhabalanga is about 175 kilometres (109 mi) long and

has a total catchment area of 4,840 square kilometres (1,870 sq mi). Its major

tributaries are the Sona, Gangahar, and the Katra. Burhabalang and its tributaries, viz.

KYANITE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

Sona Nadi, Amrutia Nadi, Gangahar Nadi drain almost round the year in the present

area. Sona Nadi receives the watery effluent load through a nalah (Sankh nalah) from

the Balgopalpur Industrial Estate and flows from west to east. Amrutia Nadi flows

from NNW to SSE and carries the waste water load of East Coast. Subarnrekha

originate from Nagri of Jharkhand and then enter into Mayurbhanj district, very less

portion of the river flows within Mayurbhanj district, Major portion of Subarnarekha

River passes in the Balasore district. Another river Jambhira runs in Mayurbhanj

district then enters into Balasore district and Renamed as river Jalaka flows into Bay

of Bengal. Other small rivers run in this district like River Khadkhai originates from

Tunhgru R.F. and plunges through Suleipat Dam (Khadkhai Reserviour). It then runs

towards Rairangpur, Bahalda, Tiringi area of western direction of Mayurbhanj district

and finally reached at River Subarnarekha. River Deo rises from Similipal R.F. and

runs towards western part of the district and flows through Karanjia area and then

joins with Baitarani River. River Khairabandhan originates from Similipal R.F. and

flows towards western part of the Mayurbhanj district through Jashipur, Raruan,

Sukruli area of district and then joins with River Baitarani This river maintains a

sluggish flow in the pre-monsoon period, but swells menacingly with the onset of

monsoon often flooding large tracts. Another small tributary named as Kanhu starts

from River Khadkhai and branched into Jalapa, Ghagera nala meets at Jharbeda area

of Mayurbhanj District.

6.2 Agriculture Land:

Mayurbhanj is surrounded by no of forest areas as well as Rocky Mountains. People

used to cultivate Paddy in most parts of the hill slopes and in plain lands. Most of the

cultivators grow short duration local paddy in the un-bonded upland during Kharif

season. The crop suffers moisture stress at different stages due to inadequate rainfall.

The primary objective of Agriculture Department is increase of production as well as

productivity of major crops like paddy, groundnut, mustard, Mung, Biri & vegetables

which is widely covered in this District in both Kharif & Rabi season. Another key

objective is the all round development of the farming community of the District. The

Deputy Director of Agriculture is the head of office so far as agriculture is concerned &

he is the Principal Agriculture Officer of the District. Under him there are 5 District

Agriculture Officers & the block under them. As already pointed out, that agriculture is

the main livelihood of the people in Mayurbhanj District. It is therefore also

designated as the food bowl of Odisha. Rice is the principal crop grown in this district,

followed by other cereals, pulses, oilseeds, vegetables, spices and sugarcane. The

agricultural statistics for the district is shown in subsequent tables below:

6.3 Horticulture Land:

The primary objective of Horticulture Department is increase of production as well as

productivity of major fruits like Mango, Guava, Citrus etc., which is widely covered in

this District. Another key objective is the all round development of the farming

community of the District. The Deputy Director of Horticulture is the head of office.

7.0 SURFACE WATER AND GROUND WATER SCENARIO OF THE DISTRICT

7.1 Hydrogeology

Distribution of Saline / fresh water aquifers:

The occurrence of fresh water aquifers in coastal tract of Mayurbhanj restricted by

two important factors‐ (i) Occurrence of hard rocks in the western side and (ii) Salinity

hazard problems in the eastern part. The water bearing formation of the area can be

divided into (a) areas underlain by fractured, fissured and consolidated basement rock

formations (b) areas underlain by recent unconsolidated alluvial formations.

(a) Consolidated Formation - These are most predominant rock types occurring in

the undulating plains of the district. Groundwater occurs under unconfined condition

in the shallow weathered zone and circulates through fractures and joints. The

thickness of the weathered zone varies from 3 to 35 m. Depth of open wells in these

formations varies from 5 to 14 m below ground level.

(b) Unconsolidated alluvial formations - The unconsolidated formations consists of

laterite and alluvium. Laterites at places are highly consolidated and used as building

stones. The laterites have high degree of effective porosity and form potential

aquifers commonly tapped in dug wells. The alluvium comprises an admixture of clay,

silt, sand and calcareous concretions in varying proportions. The coarse sediments like

sand and gravel form the main repository of ground water. Ground water occurs

under both unconfined condition in shallow aquifers and in confined condition in

deeper parts.

7.2 Depth of water level:

The depth to water level map for pre and post monsoon periods 2011 are prepared

based on the ground water monitoring data of 77 Nos of National Hydrograph

Stations of C.G.W.B. monitored during the month of April and November 2006 are

presented below respectively. The pre and post monsoon depth to water levels in the

district range from 3.54 to 14.50 m below ground level and 1.39 to 8.20 m below

ground level respectively. It is observed that during pre monsoon about 75% of the

total areas show the water level varying between 5 to 10 m below ground level.

During post monsoon nearly 60% of the area has water levels within 2 to 5 m,

while the rest part has between 0 to 2 and 4 to 6 m below ground levels. In localized

part of Morada, Kaptipada and Thakurmunda the water level is > 5 mt.

7.3 Ground Water Quality

The chemical quality of ground water in the district has been assessed on the basis of

chemical analysis of ground water samples collected during groundwater monitoring,

Hydrogeological surveys and groundwater exploration. The results of the chemical

analysis are presented in Table.

7.4 Ground Water Development

In the rural areas the entire water supply is dependent on ground water. Ground

water development is mainly carried out in the district through dug wells and Hand

pumps. In general dug wells are of 2 m diameter and the depth ranges between 8 to

15 m depending on the thickness of the weathered zone, tapping the shallow aquifer

in the weathered zone and uppermost slice of the basement. Large number of dug

wells used for drinking water is under private ownership for which there is no reliable

data. Over the years Mark II/ Mark III hand pumps are being drilled in large numbers

for ground water development. These hand pumps have the following two major

advantages i) less susceptible to contamination from surface sources and ii) tap

fractures between 20-60m depth which have been found to be less affected by

seasonal water level fluctuation and thus have lesser chances of failure even during

extreme summer. Over all the present level of ground water development is only

27.21 percent in the district with the maximum in Badasahi Block viz. 64.65% and

minimum in Bijatala Block. Block wise development figure indicate that all the blocks

come under the white categories. Thus there is ample scope for development of

groundwater in the district to augment irrigation potentials through suitable ground

water abstraction structure

7.5 Ground Water Related Issue and Problems

Some of key ground water related issues are

I. Locating suitable sites for bore wells

II. Suitable design of dug wells and hand pumps

III. Taking up artificial recharge projects to augment the resource availability in

IV. Optimal development of irrigation potential by developing ground water available

for future uses.

V. Creating public awareness for conserving ground water through awareness

camps, NGO’s and mass media.

7.8 RECOMMENDATIONS:

1) Intensive groundwater exploration should be taken up to delineate deeper

potential water saturated fracture zones and to compute aquifer parameter.

2) Large scale planning for ground water development should be preceded by

intensive hydrogeological and geophysical surveys aided by remote sensing

studies.

3) Effective measures may be taken to conserve the surface run off by contour

bonding at suitable sites. Also proper maintenance of reservoir, tanks and spring

channels by periodical disiltation should be carried out.

4) Existing dug-wells should be deepened to tap the maximum saturated thickness of

the weathered mantle or vertical bores may be drilled through the bottom to

enhance the well yield.

5) Energy station of wells already constructed should be stepped up to ensure

optimal utilization of the irrigation potential already created.

6) The farmers should be educated through agricultural extension services fro

adopting suitable cropping pattern for optimal utilization of available groundwater

resources.

7) Programmes for artificial recharge may also be taken up for augmentation of

groundwater through construction of percolation tanks, subsurface dykes, and

check dams and through contour bonding etc.

8) An intensive network of groundwater monitoring stations are required to be

KYANITE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

31

established in the command areas of irrigation projects to monitor the changes in

groundwater regime consequent on application of surface water irrigation.

15. QUALITY/GRADE OF MINERAL AVAILABLE IN THE DISTRICT:

Rocks and Minerals found in Mayurbhanj District:-

The district is endowed with various types of mineral resources like Iron ore, China

Clay, Quartz, Soap stone, Granite, Manganese, etc. Due to presence of huge

mineral resources, mining activities have been undertaken in a big scale. Bahalda,

Jashipur, Karanjia, Koshorpur, Bisoi, Gorumahisani and Rairangpur are the places in

the district having deposits of the above mineral products. The availability of

mineral deposits is given in the table below. The district’s mineral deposits have not

been utilized to maximum extent for industrial purpose. Some of the items like

KYANITE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

36

China clay, Soap stone, Asbestos, etc. can be used in small scale sector. So the

available resources of the district need harnessing properly for industrial and

productive use. Kyanite in the district is very much suitable for various industrial

purposes after crushing and screening.

16. USE OF MINERAL

Uses of Kyanite:

Kyanite is used to manufacture a wide range of products. An important use is in the

manufacture of refractory products such as the bricks, mortars, and kiln furniture

used in high-temperature furnaces. For foundries, the molds that are used for casting

high-temperature metals are often made with kyanite. Kyanite is a mineral found

mainly in metamorphic rocks. It most often forms from the high-pressure alteration of

clay minerals during the metamorphism of sedimentary rocks. It is found in

the schists and gneisses of regionally metamorphosed areas and less often

in quartzite or eclogite. Kyanite's typical habit is a bladed crystal, although it

sometimes occurs as radiating masses of crystals. Kyanite is often associated with

other metamorphic minerals such as garnet, staurolite, and corundum. Kyanite is a

mineral found mainly in metamorphic rocks. It most often forms from the high-

pressure alteration of clay minerals during the metamorphism of sedimentary rocks.

17. DEMAND AND SUPPLY OF THE MINERAL IN THE LAST THREE YEARS:

As such there are huge infrastructural and industrial activities are coming up by State

govt., Govt. of India & PSUs under “Make in India” programme. The main raw

minerals for the above activities and considering the last three years actual

productions with respect to the requirement of the state has a huge gap. It is

proposed to start the production from larger block/area to at least double the

production of the district which will enhance the revenue of the district and also

support the livelihood of the local people

20. DETAILS OF ECO-SENSITIVE AREA, IF ANY, IN THE DISTRICT:

Eco sensitive zone of Similipal wild life sanctuary is located within the district.

21. IMPACTS OF MINING ON ENVIRONMENT:

The most important environmental impact of mining projects is:-

Transportation sources:

Transportation sources of air pollutants include heavy vehicles used in excavation

operations, cars that transport personnel at the mining site, and trucks that transport

mining materials. The level of polluting emissions from these sources depends on the

fuel and conditions of the equipment. Even though individual emissions can be

relatively small, collectively these emissions can be of real concern. In addition,

mobile sources are a major source of particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and volatile

organic compounds that contribute significantly to the formation of ground-level ozone

Fugitive emissions:

Common sources of fugitive emissions include: storage and handling of materials;

mine processing; fugitive dust, blasting, construction activities, and roadways

associated with mining activities; leach pads, and tailing piles and ponds; and waste

rock piles. Sources and characteristics of fugitive emissions dust in mining operations

vary in each case, as do their impacts. Impacts are difficult to predict and calculate

but should be considered since they could be a significant source of hazardous air

pollutants.

KYANITE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

38

Noise and vibration:

Noise pollution associated with mining may include noise from vehicle engines,

loading and unloading of rock into steel dumpers, chutes, power generation, and

other sources. Cumulative impacts of shoveling, ripping, drilling, blasting, transport,

crushing, grinding, and stock-piling can significantly affect wildlife and nearby

residents.

Vibrations are associated with many types of equipment used in mining operations,

but blasting is considered the major source. Vibration has affected the stability of

infrastructures, buildings, and homes of people living near large-scale open-pit mining

operations. According to a study commissioned by the European Union in 2000:

“Shocks and vibrations as a result of blasting in connection with mining can lead to

noise, dust and collapse of structures in surrounding inhabited areas. The animal life,

on which the local population may depend, might also be disturbed.”

22. REMEDIAL MEASURES TO MITIGATE THE IMPACT OF MINING ON THE

ENVIRONMENT:

1. Following are the remedial measures to mitigate the in Water sprinkling on haul

road, loading and unloading points.

2. Plantation along the safety zone and dump area.

3. Providing dust masks to workers.

4. Regular monitoring of ambient air quality.

5. Provision of air conditioned cabin of Excavators and Dumpers.

6. Regular and proper maintenance of working equipments.

7. Periodic medical examination of the workers and organize medical camp in the area.

8. Use Milli Second Delay Detonator in blasting operation.

9. Provisions of ear plug to the workers.

10. Regular training programme to the mines workers and operators.

23. RECLAMATION OF MINED OUT AREA

Necessity of Reclamation & Rehabilitation:

Exponential growth in mineral production since 1980.

Mining activities causes physical, chemical, biological and socio-economic changes in

KYANITE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

39

the area.

Surface mining activities disturb the original land profile.

In India, mineral production comes mostly from opencast mines & hence land

degradation problems are of serious concern.

An intricate, in-depth and site-specified techniques involving integrated approach is

necessary.

Reclamation has three vital roles:

i. Reclamation – Reclamation means return the mined-out land with useful life. It

implies restoring the land to a form and productivity that is useful and inconformity

with a prior land use. Reclamation always may not be a single- phase operation.

ii. Rehabilitation – Rehabilitation is to bring batch the degraded land to a normal

stage by a special treatment. It is a process of taking some mitigation measures for

disturbed environmental condition created through mining activities.

iii. Restoration – Restoration is the process of returning the mined out land being

fit to an acceptable environmental condition. However, the general acceptable

meaning of the term is bringing the disturbed land to its original form. Restoration is

often used to indicate that biological properties of soil are put back to what they were.

This is a rate phenomenon.

iv. When active mining ceases, mine facilities and the site are reclaimed and closed.

The goal of mine site reclamation and closure should always be to return the site to a

condition that most resembles the pre-mining condition. Mines that are notorious for

their immense impact on the environment often made impacts only during the closure

phase, when active mining operations ceased. These impacts can persist for decades

and even centuries.

Mine reclamation and closure plans must describe in sufficient detail how the mining

company will restore the site to a condition that most resembles pre-mining

environmental quality; how it will prevent – in perpetuity – the release of toxic

contaminants from various mine facilities (such as abandoned open pits and tailings

impoundments); and how funds will be set aside to insure that the costs of

reclamation and closure will be paid for.

Proposed future land use after reclamation:

a. Forestry, b. Recreation, c. Water Reservoir, d. Crop Land,

KYANITE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

40

e. residential/Commercial, f. Fish & wildlife Habitat, g. Undeveloped Land,

h. Grazing/Pasture Land

Statutory requirement:

As per the Mineral Conservation Development Rule, 2017, the following rules must be

bare in mind by the mine owner/agent/manager, which is a part of reclamation

activities –

Rule 22, Mine Closure Plan

Rule 23, Submission of Progressive Mine Closure Plan Rule 24, Submission of Final

Mine Closure Plan

Rule 26, Responsibility of holder of mining lease Rule 27, Financial Assurance

Rule 35, Sustainable Mining

24. RISK ASSESSMENT AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN:

Mining activity because of the very nature of the operation, complexity of the

systems, procedures and methods always involves some amount of hazards. Hazard

identification and risk analysis is carried for identification of undesirable events that

can leads to a hazard, the analysis of hazard mechanism by which this undesirable

event could occur and usually the estimation of extent, magnitude and likelihood of

harmful effects. The activities which can cause high risk related to face stability and

the person blasting the shots. It was observed that on a working face of the mine,

there were large cracks and unsupported rocks were present, which can lead to a

serious hazard and injure workers engaged in loading operation and machineries

because of rock falls or slides. This type of condition turn out because improper

dressing of the bench and improper supervision. To avoid the hazards due to fall of

rocks the face must be examined, made suitable for working and the remedial

measures must be taken to make it safe if there is any doubt that a collapse could

take place. Working of the face should be in the direction taking into account the

geology of the area such that face and quarry side remain stable. Another major risk

identified in mines is due to the firing of explosive by an unqualified person. In the

mines there is problem of fly rocks and the village is located close to the mine and so

it is rated high as it can affect may people. Explosives by nature have the potential for

the most serious and catastrophic accident. Planning of round of shots, holes correctly

drilled, direction logged, weight of explosive suitable for good fragmentation are the

KYANITE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

41

few of the steps necessary to ensure its safe use and if the shots are not properly

designed can result in misfires, early ignition and flying rocks. No person is allowed to

use explosives without being properly trained in its handling. In the mine a large

numbers of heavy vehicles were in operation and the roads were not proper for

haulage purpose. The haulage roads were not even and were not wide enough for the

crossing purpose and hence the chances of hazards are very high. The main hazards

arising from the use large earth moving vehicles are incompetent drivers, brake

failure, lack of all-around visibility from the driver position, vehicle movements

particularly reversing, roll over, and maintenance. Those most at risk are the driver

and pedestrians likely to be struck by the vehicle, and drivers of smaller vehicles,

which cannot be seen from the cabs of large vehicles. Edge protection is always

necessary to prevent inadvertent movement over the edge of roadway or a bench.

Seatbelt will protect driver in case of roll. Good maintenance and regular testing are

necessary to reduce the possibility of brake failure. Access to the vehicles should

always be restricted to those people necessary for the work in hand. The use of

personal protective equipment and proper arrangements is essential to check if the

person is wearing protective equipment or not. The personal protective equipment

includes helmet, non-skid safety boots, safety glasses, earmuffs etc. The required

personal protective equipment should be provided and used in a manner that protects

the individual from injury. Few minor injuries which can be prevented are slip, trip, or

fall hazards; hazards due to rock falls and collapse of unstable rocks, atmosphere

containing toxic or combustible gases; protects from chemical or hazardous material

etc. A disaster management plan should be prepared for taking care of for any

disaster. Other risks which are included in this category are noise, as it occurs and it

can lead to permanent disability. There are problems related to road traffic in and out

issuers; inappropriate exposure of moving machines; mechanical failure and because

of large number of moving trucks and dumpers there is large quantity of dust present

in roadways which affects the operators and can lead to accidents causing injury.

They are in acceptable range because of precautions measures taken but no step is

taken it can cause hazard hence steps should be taken to reduce the hazards such as

for dust suppression system should be installed. Other problems like occurrence of

KYANITE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

42

lots of mosquitoes in the area due to unhygienic conditions which affect the human

health causing malaria, dengue etc. and causing a person to be hospitalized.

Disaster in the mines like fires, explosions, entrapments, and inundations can occur

any time, so emergency preparedness is a must. The Disaster management plan and

risk assessment in the mines will include all sorts of above mentioned emergency and

the extent that this plan will be implemented will depend on the nature and scope of

the emergency. The basic purpose of Disaster management plan and risk assessment

to ensure that mine rescue and recovery activities are conducted safely for rescuer

and survivors. According to MMR act 1961 a standard operating procedure should be

drawn for involvement different category of staff and officers. The SOP should be

updated periodically to reduce the chaos and response to the emergency should be

quick and smooth. The responsible person should be familiar with his responsibility

during the mock drills. One or two standby should be there to replace the person in

Emergency situation. Rescue operations should not include the survivors for any

assistance.

First Information of Disaster / Emergency should go to the attendance clerk on duty.

Duties of attendance Clerk (Emergency Siren) the attendance clerk or other

designated person should on getting information of major accident, sound a hooter or

a siren immediately declaring a state of emergency at the mine and then to contact

the manager and on his advice to call key personnel using the information listed in the

Emergency Organization Chart. It is important that all telephone calls are recorded in

a telephone log book. Duties of Other Officials should be displayed and handed over

to all concerned. Copy the same should be kept at Manager’s Office for ready

reference. Establishment of Control Room at Unit Level, Area Level and Company

Level is essential. Control Room should keep the contact information about –

Attendance roaster and duty charge register should be properly maintained so the

record of missing people can be obtained.

25. DETAILS OF THE OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH ISSUE IN THE DISTRICT:

The persons employed in the mines are exposed to a number of hazards at work

which adversely affect their health. Some of the important ones are dust, noise, heat,

humidity, vibration etc. In recent times, there has been increasing awareness among

mining industry and the workers about occupational diseases like Pneumoconiosis,

Silicosis, Tuberculosis, Hearing Impairment etc. caused by exposure to health hazards

at work. Almost all occupational diseases can be prevented by adopting proper

occupational health measures and engineering control on airborne dust pollution at

workplace. Occupational Diseases in mines or industry is required to conduct medical

examinations and health surveillance of workers as per the provisions of Mines Act.

The present efforts of mines management are concentrated on detection of silicosis,

Pneumoconiosis and other notified diseases. The essential features of health

surveillance programme required to be carried out in mines are:

(a) Initial Medical Examination of persons to be conducted at the time of

appointment.

(b) Periodic Medical Examination or General physical examination to be conducted

once in every year.

(c) Maintenance of medical records and health services till the person is in service.

26. PLANTATION GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT IN RESPECT OF LEASE

ALREADY GRANTED IN THE DISTRICT:

During mining operation green belt development through plantation is most important

for environment safe guard, which should be supervision by mining department.

Different type of species should be planted near lease periphery to keep environment

clean at post mining period through reclamation. Where specific usefulness of land

could be decided, a forestation is normally planned through the site could have been

considered for better possibilities of land use.

27. CONCLUSION:

Since it is an interim report, to meet the requirement of minerals in the present

scenario, it is proposed to identify such potential areas at certain interval and get the

data bank of DSR to be updated. The insitu mining activity in any area is on one hand

bring revenue and employment (Direct and indirect) and on other hand if not done

properly potential pollution and ecological imbalance increases, the ability of the

ecosystem can also be reduced. Particulate matter transported by the wind as a result

of excavations, blasting, transportation of materials, heavy equipments used raise

these particulate levels; and Gas emissions from the combustion of fuels in stationary

and mobile sources, explosions, and mineral processing. All these activities indirectly

affected the biodiversity of area. Larger potential and smaller areas have been

identified in Mayurbhanj district on the basis of geological study carried out during

field observation, which can be considered for mining concession after all the

parameters for statutory clearances are verified by consulting with concerned

authorities.

encountered in the district are Granite Gneiss, Quartzite, Orthoquartzite, Arkose,

Shale, Phyllite, Gabbro, Px-granite. The geology of the district is constituted by the

Similipal complex at its central part belonging the Archaean age, unconformably lying

over Singhbhum Granite and Banded Iron Formation (BIF). It consists of three

alternate bands of volcano sedimentary units uniquely disposed in a ring like circular

pattern formed under sub- marine conditions. Baripada Beds outcrops of tertiary

formation occur around Baripada town. These comprise stratified clay and sand with

marly clay or limestone interbands. Important mineral resources include iron, copper,

itanium, vanadium, chinaclay, nickel, kyanite ,quartz, talc, steatite ,soapstone and

bauxite.

4.1 Physiography & Geomorphology:

Mayurbhanj district presents diverse physiographic features, Physiographically the

study area can be divided into 3 categories. The first physiographic unit of the district

is high mountain ranges, Similipal Complex being at its central part (Figure 1). The

mountain ranges comprise mainly of highland plateau and valleys with intrusive

running through them. The second physiographic unit is Tertiary Plain occurring in the

eastern part of the district. The third physiographic unit is Alluvial Plain which lies

partly in Rasgovindpur, Morada, Samakhunta, Betnoti, Baripada, Badasahi and

Suliapada Blocks. The highest elevation of about 559m at Bahalda near Similpal hill

and higher elevations of the district, due to scarp landforms some waterfalls are

observed in the district. The general slope of the district is from north to south.

Geologically the area is comprised with Archean granites and gneisses.

Geomorphologically the district is divided into 3 units:

i) The denudational hills with moderate to high slope occurring in the western part of

the district.

ii) Dissected pediments having gentle slope.

4.3 Mineral Resources:

The earliest known geological survey in Mayurbhanj dates back to 1903, when P.N.

Bose brought to light the extensive iron-ore deposits of high quantity on the

Gorumahisani and Suleipat hills in Bamanghaty Sub-Division. These deposits were

considered to be almost inexhaustible and were pronounced to be of excellent quality,

perhaps second to none in the whole of Asia by the famous American and English

experts like M/s Perin, Weld and Colonel Staddart, who visited these deposits during

1905-06. This discovery was a momentous one as the steel plant of the Tata Iron &

Steel Co. at Jamshedpur was entirely based on the exploitation of these deposits. By

1915, important discoveries of Steatite near Lulung and placer gold from the sands of

Subarnarekha, Kharkhai and Barhai rivers had been made. The placer gold deposits

were being worked by M/s J.B. Bettie of Calcutta, Mr. V.G. Piggot of Ghatsila and the

Mayurbhanj Prospecting Concession Syndicate.

Gold: The mid-Archaean Gorumahisani-Badampahar schist belt composed of basic

ultrabasic, volcanic rocks and volcanogenic sediments. This belt has been

prognosticated as a rift-type of volcanic dominated one and is highly potential for

economic grade gold mineralization. Likely targets include: a) auriferous quartz veins

close to the contact of sulphide chert volcanics, b) sheared and sulphidised Fe-rich

tholeiite with anomalous copper, c) epigenetic vein type of mineralization and BIF

volcanic association, and d) sulphidic conglomerate resting over the basic volcanics.

Placer gold occurrence are known from rivers and stream of Mayurbhanj district. An

area of about 5 square kilometers of alluvium at the headwaters of Sapgora and Borai

rivers near Kudersai was indicated as promising.

Iron: Bose discovered iron ore deposits in Gorumahisani and Badampahar in the

eastwhile princely state of Mayurbhanj (now Mayurbhanj District). Gorumahisani

deposits were investigated by Perin & Weld (1905). Gorumahisani- Badampahar-

Suleipat deposits are associated with banded hematite / magnetite grunerite and BHJ.

associated with gabbro- anorthosite suite of rocks contain vanadium and titanium.

Deposits of vanadium-magnetite occur in association with gabbro-Anorthosite suite of

rocks in the precambrian metamorphites. Vanadium bearing magnetite belts are :-

(a) Rairangpur – Bisoi belt (Kumardubi, Betjharan Amdabeda)

(b) Bisoi – Joshipur belt (Mayurbeka, Kesham, Sialnoi)

(c) Baripada – Podadiha belt (Andipur, Bahalda)

Pyrophyllite : is mainly used as a high grade ceramic product, electric insulator and

refractory material. The comp. is Al2O34SiO2 H20. It is formed as an alteration product

of feldspar. Pyrophyllite occurrences are reported at Kankrani, Jashipur,

Gorumahisani, Bangriposhi and Manada in Mayurbhnaj dist. Ichinda, Khairakocha,

Jamukunda, Nakulkocha, Kapadiha, Dunguridiha, Maheshpur, Kashidiha, Sagragora

and Pokpoka. Dimension stone of the district are granite, granite-gneiss, migmatites,

syenite, gabbro, anorthosite, charnockite, leptynite, pyroxene granulite, dolerite,

pyroxinite and dunite etc.

Bauxite: In Similipal complex (Mayurbhanj) aluminous laterite/ Bauxite are observed

around 1000 m AMSL. The spongy aluminous laterite/bauxite occurs as sheets and

boulders occupying the flat-topped hills made up of metavolcanics. Both

ultramafics and metavolcanics are lateritised giving rise to nickeliferous laterite and

aluminous laterite respectively.

China Clay clay like material approximating the mineral Kaolinite (Al2O3, 2SIO2,

2H2O). China clay is found to occur in a long belt stretching from Singhbhum to

Mayurbhanj. Badampahar-Joshipur- Karanjia – Ramachandrapur belt is the most

important china-clay producing area of the state. The important deposits in

Mayurbhanj district are found near Jashipur, Chanchbani, Dumuria, Jamda, Kodadiha,

Jamkeswar and Thakurmunda. China clay has many industrial applications as filler in

paper, textile, rubber, in the manufacture of potteries, ceramics, sanitary wares,

glazed tiles, white cement, insecticides, paints, cosmetics, refractory bricks etc. Soap

stone and Steatite Asbestos is mined from Mayurbhanj area.

dist, where it is associated with dumortierite bearing rocks, qtz-veins, quartz-mica-

schists and talc-tremolite-schist. Other kyanite occurrence include Purnapani &

Similipal.

Quartz & Quartzite: Quartz and silica sand are mostly used in glass foundry,

ferrosilicon alloy, ceramic industry, abrasive, paint, rubber, textile industries.

Transparent varieties of quartz such as rock crystal, amethyst, citrine, Rosequartz and

smoky quartz are used as semi-precious gemstone. Quartz is a piezoelectric material

and is used in radio circuit, Radars and ultra-sonic devices. Quartzite is a

monomineralic rock constituted predominantly of quartz. There are 6 mining leases

for quartz and quartzite in Mayurbhanj dist.

5.1 River System

The Budhabalanga River (also called Balanga River) flows through the districts

of Mayurbhanj & Balasore and finally reached Bay of Bengal. The Budhabalanga, rises

from Similipal hills and plunges through Barehipani Falls, the second-highest waterfall

in India, located in Similipal National Park. It then flows in a northerly direction up to

the village Karanjiapal in Bangiriposi police-station. Thereafter, it turns to the north-

east and flows along the railway track up to the village Jhankapahadi. There it

changes its course to the south and meets the Katra nala. The other tributaries are

the Palpala and the Chipat both of which are hill streams rising from the Similipal hills.

Then the river passes through Baripada. It later flows through Balasore district and

into the Bay of Bengal. The Budhabalanga is about 175 kilometres (109 mi) long and

has a total catchment area of 4,840 square kilometres (1,870 sq mi). Its major

tributaries are the Sona, Gangahar, and the Katra. Burhabalang and its tributaries, viz.

Sona Nadi, Amrutia Nadi, Gangahar Nadi drain almost round the year in the present

area. Sona Nadi receives the watery effluent load through a nalah (Sankh nalah) from

the Balgopalpur Industrial Estate and flows from west to east. Amrutia Nadi flows

from NNW to SSE and carries the waste water load of East Coast. Subarnrekha

originate from Nagri of Jharkhand and then enter into Mayurbhanj district, very less

portion of the river flows within Mayurbhanj district, Major portion of Subarnarekha

River passes in the Balasore district. Another river Jambhira runs in Mayurbhanj

district then enters into Balasore district and Renamed as river Jalaka flows into Bay

of Bengal. Other small rivers run in this district like River Khadkhai originates from

Tunhgru R.F. and plunges through Suleipat Dam (Khadkhai Reserviour). It then runs

towards Rairangpur, Bahalda, Tiringi area of western direction of Mayurbhanj district

and finally reached at River Subarnarekha. River Deo rises from Similipal R.F. and

runs towards western part of the district and flows through Karanjia area and then

joins with Baitarani River. River Khairabandhan originates from Similipal R.F. and

flows towards western part of the Mayurbhanj district through Jashipur, Raruan,

Sukruli area of district and then joins with River Baitarani This river maintains a

sluggish flow in the pre-monsoon period, but swells menacingly with the onset of

monsoon often flooding large tracts. Another small tributary named as Kanhu starts

from River Khadkhai and branched into Jalapa, Ghagera nala meets at Jharbeda area

of Mayurbhanj District.

6.2 Agriculture Land:

Mayurbhanj is surrounded by no of forest areas as well as Rocky Mountains. People

used to cultivate Paddy in most parts of the hill slopes and in plain lands. Most of the

cultivators grow short duration local paddy in the un-bonded upland during Kharif

season. The crop suffers moisture stress at different stages due to inadequate rainfall.

The primary objective of Agriculture Department is increase of production as well as

productivity of major crops like paddy, groundnut, mustard, Mung, Biri & vegetables

which is widely covered in this District in both Kharif & Rabi season. Another key

objective is the all round development of the farming community of the District. The

Deputy Director of Agriculture is the head of office so far as agriculture is concerned &

he is the Principal Agriculture Officer of the District. Under him there are 5 District

Agriculture Officers & the block under them. As already pointed out, that agriculture is

the main livelihood of the people in Mayurbhanj District. It is therefore also

designated as the food bowl of Odisha. Rice is the principal crop grown in this district,

followed by other cereals, pulses, oilseeds, vegetables, spices and sugarcane. The

agricultural statistics for the district is shown in subsequent tables below:

6.3 Horticulture Land:

The primary objective of Horticulture Department is increase of production as well as

productivity of major fruits like Mango, Guava, Citrus etc., which is widely covered in

this District. Another key objective is the all round development of the farming

community of the District. The Deputy Director of Horticulture is the head of office.

7.0 SURFACE WATER AND GROUND WATER SCENARIO OF THE DISTRICT

7.1 Hydrogeology

Distribution of Saline / fresh water aquifers:

The occurrence of fresh water aquifers in coastal tract of Mayurbhanj restricted by

two important factors‐ (i) Occurrence of hard rocks in the western side and (ii) Salinity

hazard problems in the eastern part. The water bearing formation of the area can be

divided into (a) areas underlain by fractured, fissured and consolidated basement rock

formations (b) areas underlain by recent unconsolidated alluvial formations.

(a) Consolidated Formation - These are most predominant rock types occurring in

the undulating plains of the district. Groundwater occurs under unconfined condition

in the shallow weathered zone and circulates through fractures and joints. The

thickness of the weathered zone varies from 3 to 35 m. Depth of open wells in these

formations varies from 5 to 14 m below ground level.

(b) Unconsolidated alluvial formations - The unconsolidated formations consists of

laterite and alluvium. Laterites at places are highly consolidated and used as building

stones. The laterites have high degree of effective porosity and form potential

aquifers commonly tapped in dug wells. The alluvium comprises an admixture of clay,

silt, sand and calcareous concretions in varying proportions. The coarse sediments like

sand and gravel form the main repository of ground water. Ground water occurs

under both unconfined condition in shallow aquifers and in confined condition in

deeper parts.

7.2 Depth of water level:

The depth to water level map for pre and post monsoon periods 2011 are prepared

based on the ground water monitoring data of 77 Nos of National Hydrograph

Stations of C.G.W.B. monitored during the month of April and November 2006 are

presented below respectively. The pre and post monsoon depth to water levels in the

district range from 3.54 to 14.50 m below ground level and 1.39 to 8.20 m below

ground level respectively. It is observed that during pre monsoon about 75% of the

total areas show the water level varying between 5 to 10 m below ground level.

During post monsoon nearly 60% of the area has water levels within 2 to 5 m,

while the rest part has between 0 to 2 and 4 to 6 m below ground levels. In localized

part of Morada, Kaptipada and Thakurmunda the water level is > 5 mt.

7.3 Ground Water Quality

The chemical quality of ground water in the district has been assessed on the basis of

chemical analysis of ground water samples collected during groundwater monitoring,

Hydrogeological surveys and groundwater exploration. The results of the chemical

analysis are presented in Table.

7.4 Ground Water Development

In the rural areas the entire water supply is dependent on ground water. Ground

water development is mainly carried out in the district through dug wells and Hand

pumps. In general dug wells are of 2 m diameter and the depth ranges between 8 to

15 m depending on the thickness of the weathered zone, tapping the shallow aquifer

in the weathered zone and uppermost slice of the basement. Large number of dug

wells used for drinking water is under private ownership for which there is no reliable

data. Over the years Mark II/ Mark III hand pumps are being drilled in large numbers

for ground water development. These hand pumps have the following two major

advantages i) less susceptible to contamination from surface sources and ii) tap

fractures between 20-60m depth which have been found to be less affected by

seasonal water level fluctuation and thus have lesser chances of failure even during

extreme summer. Over all the present level of ground water development is only

27.21 percent in the district with the maximum in Badasahi Block viz. 64.65% and

minimum in Bijatala Block. Block wise development figure indicate that all the blocks

come under the white categories. Thus there is ample scope for development of

groundwater in the district to augment irrigation potentials through suitable ground

water abstraction structure

7.5 Ground Water Related Issue and Problems

Some of key ground water related issues are

I. Locating suitable sites for bore wells

II. Suitable design of dug wells and hand pumps

III. Taking up artificial recharge projects to augment the resource availability in

Mayurbhanj district.

IV. Optimal development of irrigation potential by developing ground water available

for future uses.

V. Creating public awareness for conserving ground water through awareness

camps, NGO’s and mass media.

7.8 RECOMMENDATIONS:

1) Intensive groundwater exploration should be taken up to delineate deeper

potential water saturated fracture zones and to compute aquifer parameter.

2) Large scale planning for ground water development should be preceded by

intensive hydrogeological and geophysical surveys aided by remote sensing

studies.

3) Effective measures may be taken to conserve the surface run off by contour

bonding at suitable sites. Also proper maintenance of reservoir, tanks and spring

channels by periodical disiltation should be carried out.

4) Existing dug-wells should be deepened to tap the maximum saturated thickness of

the weathered mantle or vertical bores may be drilled through the bottom to

enhance the well yield.

5) Energy station of wells already constructed should be stepped up to ensure

optimal utilization of the irrigation potential already created.

6) The farmers should be educated through agricultural extension services fro

adopting suitable cropping pattern for optimal utilization of available groundwater

resources.

7) Programmes for artificial recharge may also be taken up for augmentation of

groundwater through construction of percolation tanks, subsurface dykes, and

check dams and through contour bonding etc.

8) An intensive network of groundwater monitoring stations are required to be

31

established in the command areas of irrigation projects to monitor the changes in

groundwater regime consequent on application of surface water irrigation.

15. QUALITY/GRADE OF MINERAL AVAILABLE IN THE DISTRICT:

Rocks and Minerals found in Mayurbhanj District:-

The district is endowed with various types of mineral resources like Iron ore, China

Clay, Quartz, Soap stone, Granite, Manganese, etc. Due to presence of huge

mineral resources, mining activities have been undertaken in a big scale. Bahalda,

Jashipur, Karanjia, Koshorpur, Bisoi, Gorumahisani and Rairangpur are the places in

the district having deposits of the above mineral products. The availability of

mineral deposits is given in the table below. The district’s mineral deposits have not

TALC MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

36

been utilized to maximum extent for industrial purpose. Some of the items like

China clay, Soap stone, Asbestos, etc. can be used in small scale sector. So the

available resources of the district need harnessing properly for industrial and

productive use. Road metal/Building stone of the district are very much suitable for

various construction purposes after crushing and screening. The granite gneisses

are well foliated, jointed and weathered easily.

16. USE OF MINERAL

Uses of Talc:

Talc's unique properties make it an important ingredient for making ceramics, paint,

paper, roofing materials, plastics, rubber, insecticides, and many other

products. Talc: Talc is a phyllosilicate mineral that cleaves into thin sheets. Most

people are familiar with the mineral talc. It can be crushed into a white powder that is

widely known as "talcum powder." This powder has the ability to absorb moisture,

absorb oils, absorb odor, serve as a lubricant, and produce an astringent effect with

human skin. These properties make talcum powder an important ingredient in many

baby powders, foot powders, first aid powders, and a variety of cosmetics. Most

people use products made from talc every day; however, they don't realize that talc is

in the product or the special role that it plays.

Talc in Plastics

It is mainly used as filler. The platy shape of talc particles can increase the stiffness of

products such as polypropylene, vinyl, nylon and polyester. It can also increase the

heat resistance of these products and reduce shrinkage. Where the plastic is extruded

in the manufacturing process, talc's very low hardness produces less abrasion on

equipment than harder mineral fillers.

Talc in Ceramics

It used in the manufacturing of ceramics products such as bathroom fixtures, ceramic

tile, pottery, and dinnerware. When used as filler in ceramics, talc can improve the

firing characteristics of the green ware and the strength of the finished product.

Talc in Paint

Most paints are suspensions of mineral particles in a liquid. The liquid portion of the

paint facilitates application, but after the liquid evaporates, the mineral particles

remain on the wall. Talc is used as an extender and filler in paints. The platy shape of

TALC MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

37

talc particles improves the suspension of solids in the can and helps the liquid paint

adhere to a wall without sagging.

Powdered talc is a very bright white color. This makes talc excellent filler in paint

because it simultaneously serves to whiten and brighten the paint. Talc's low hardness

is valued because it causes less abrasion damage on spray nozzles and other

equipment when paint is applied.

Talc in Paper

Most papers are made from a pulp of organic fibers. This pulp is made from wood,

rags, and other organic materials. Finely ground mineral matter is added to the pulp

to serve as filler. When the pulp is rolled into thin sheets, the mineral matter fills

spaces between the pulp fibers, resulting in a paper with a much smoother writing

surface. Talc as a mineral filler can improve the opacity, brightness, and whiteness of

the paper. Talc also can also improve the paper's ability to absorb ink.

Talc in Cosmetics and Antiperspirants

Finely ground talc is used as the powder base of many cosmetic products. The tiny

platelets of a talc powder readily adhere to the skin but can be washed off easily.

Talc's softness allows it to be applied and removed without causing skin abrasion.

Talc also has the ability to absorb oils and perspiration produced by human skin. The

ability of talc to absorb moisture, absorb odor, adhere to the skin, serve as a

lubricant, and produce an astringent effect in contact with human skin make it an

important ingredient in many antiperspirants. Talc and asbestos occur naturally and

may occur in close proximity in some metamorphic rocks.

Talc in Roofing Materials

Talc is added to the asphaltic materials used to make roofing materials to improve

their weather resistance. It is also dusted onto the surface of roll roofing and shingles

to prevent sticking.

17. DEMAND AND SUPPLY OF THE MINERAL IN THE LAST THREE YEARS:

As such there are huge infrastructural and industrial activities are coming up by State

govt., Govt. of India & PSUs under “Make in India” programme. The main raw

minerals for the above activities and considering the last three years actual

productions with respect to the requirement of the state has a huge gap. It is

proposed to start the production from larger block/area to at least double the

production of the district which will enhance the revenue of the district and also

support the livelihood of the local people

18. MAP OF EXISTING MINING LEASES IN THE DISTRICT:

Enclosed as Plate-I

19. DETAILS OF THE AREA OF WHERE THERE IS A CLUSTER OF MINING

LEASE VIZ. NUMBER OF MINING LEASES, LOCATION (LATITUDE AND

LONGITUDE)

Currently there is no cluster of Talc mining lease in the district. However, it is

proposed to consider the cluster of mining lease while planning for new lease area in

coming years.

20. DETAILS OF ECO-SENSITIVE AREA, IF ANY, IN THE DISTRICT:

Eco sensitive zone of Similipal wild life sanctuary is located within the district.

21. IMPACTS OF MINING ON ENVIRONMENT:

The most important environmental impact of mining projects is:-

Transportation sources:

Transportation sources of air pollutants include heavy vehicles used in excavation

operations, cars that transport personnel at the mining site, and trucks that transport

mining materials. The level of polluting emissions from these sources depends on the

fuel and conditions of the equipment. Even though individual emissions can be

relatively small, collectively these emissions can be of real concern. In addition,

mobile sources are a major source of particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and volatile

organic compounds that contribute significantly to the formation of ground-level ozone

TALC MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

39

Fugitive emissions:

Common sources of fugitive emissions include: storage and handling of materials;

mine processing; fugitive dust, blasting, construction activities, and roadways

associated with mining activities; leach pads, and tailing piles and ponds; and waste

rock piles. Sources and characteristics of fugitive emissions dust in mining operations

vary in each case, as do their impacts. Impacts are difficult to predict and calculate

but should be considered since they could be a significant source of hazardous air

pollutants.

Noise and vibration:

Noise pollution associated with mining may include noise from vehicle engines,

loading and unloading of rock into steel dumpers, chutes, power generation, and

other sources. Cumulative impacts of shoveling, ripping, drilling, blasting, transport,

crushing, grinding, and stock-piling can significantly affect wildlife and nearby

residents.

Vibrations are associated with many types of equipment used in mining operations,

but blasting is considered the major source. Vibration has affected the stability of

infrastructures, buildings, and homes of people living near large-scale open-pit mining

operations. According to a study commissioned by the European Union in 2000:

“Shocks and vibrations as a result of blasting in connection with mining can lead to

noise, dust and collapse of structures in surrounding inhabited areas. The animal life,

on which the local population may depend, might also be disturbed.”

22. REMEDIAL MEASURES TO MITIGATE THE IMPACT OF MINING ON THE

ENVIRONMENT:

1. Following are the remedial measures to mitigate the in Water sprinkling on haul

road, loading and unloading points.

2. Plantation along the safety zone and dump area.

3. Providing dust masks to workers.

4. Regular monitoring of ambient air quality.

5. Provision of air conditioned cabin of Excavators and Dumpers.

6. Regular and proper maintenance of working equipments.

7. Periodic medical examination of the workers and organize medical camp in the area.

TALC MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

40

8. Use Milli Second Delay Detonator in blasting operation.

9. Provisions of ear plug to the workers.

10. Regular training programme to the mines workers and operators.

23. RECLAMATION OF MINED OUT AREA

Necessity of Reclamation & Rehabilitation:

Exponential growth in mineral production since 1980.

Mining activities causes physical, chemical, biological and socio-economic changes in

the area.

Surface mining activities disturb the original land profile.

In India, mineral production comes mostly from opencast mines & hence land

degradation problems are of serious concern.

An intricate, in-depth and site-specified techniques involving integrated approach is

necessary.

Reclamation has three vital roles:

i. Reclamation – Reclamation means return the mined-out land with useful life. It

implies restoring the land to a form and productivity that is useful and inconformity

with a prior land use. Reclamation always may not be a single- phase operation.

ii. Rehabilitation – Rehabilitation is to bring batch the degraded land to a normal

stage by a special treatment. It is a process of taking some mitigation measures for

disturbed environmental condition created through mining activities.

iii. Restoration – Restoration is the process of returning the mined out land being

fit to an acceptable environmental condition. However, the general acceptable

meaning of the term is bringing the disturbed land to its original form. Restoration is

often used to indicate that biological properties of soil are put back to what they were.

This is a rate phenomenon.

iv. When active mining ceases, mine facilities and the site are reclaimed and closed.

The goal of mine site reclamation and closure should always be to return the site to a

condition that most resembles the pre-mining condition. Mines that are notorious for

their immense impact on the environment often made impacts only during the closure

phase, when active mining operations ceased. These impacts can persist for decades

and even centuries.

TALC MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

41

Mine reclamation and closure plans must describe in sufficient detail how the mining

company will restore the site to a condition that most resembles pre-mining

environmental quality; how it will prevent – in perpetuity – the release of toxic

contaminants from various mine facilities (such as abandoned open pits and tailings

impoundments); and how funds will be set aside to insure that the costs of

reclamation and closure will be paid for.

Proposed future land use after reclamation:

a. Forestry, b. Recreation, c. Water Reservoir, d. Crop Land,

e. residential/Commercial, f. Fish & wildlife Habitat, g. Undeveloped Land,

h. Grazing/Pasture Land

Statutory requirement:

As per the Mineral Conservation Development Rule, 2017, the following rules must be

bare in mind by the mine owner/agent/manager, which is a part of reclamation

activities –

Rule 22, Mine Closure Plan

Rule 23, Submission of Progressive Mine Closure Plan Rule 24, Submission of Final

Mine Closure Plan

Rule 26, Responsibility of holder of mining lease Rule 27, Financial Assurance

Rule 35, Sustainable Mining

24. RISK ASSESSMENT AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN:

Mining activity because of the very nature of the operation, complexity of the

systems, procedures and methods always involves some amount of hazards. Hazard

identification and risk analysis is carried for identification of undesirable events that

can leads to a hazard, the analysis of hazard mechanism by which this undesirable

event could occur and usually the estimation of extent, magnitude and likelihood of

harmful effects. The activities which can cause high risk related to face stability and

the person blasting the shots. It was observed that on a working face of the mine,

there were large cracks and unsupported rocks were present, which can lead to a

serious hazard and injure workers engaged in loading operation and machineries

because of rock falls or slides. This type of condition turn out because improper

dressing of the bench and improper supervision. To avoid the hazards due to fall of

rocks the face must be examined, made suitable for working and the remedial

TALC MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

42

measures must be taken to make it safe if there is any doubt that a collapse could

take place. Working of the face should be in the direction taking into account the

geology of the area such that face and quarry side remain stable. Another major risk

identified in mines is due to the firing of explosive by an unqualified person. In the

mines there is problem of fly rocks and the village is located close to the mine and so

it is rated high as it can affect may people. Explosives by nature have the potential for

the most serious and catastrophic accident. Planning of round of shots, holes correctly

drilled, direction logged, weight of explosive suitable for good fragmentation are the

few of the steps necessary to ensure its safe use and if the shots are not properly

designed can result in misfires, early ignition and flying rocks. No person is allowed to

use explosives without being properly trained in its handling. In the mine a large

numbers of heavy vehicles were in operation and the roads were not proper for

haulage purpose. The haulage roads were not even and were not wide enough for the

crossing purpose and hence the chances of hazards are very high. The main hazards

arising from the use large earth moving vehicles are incompetent drivers, brake

failure, lack of all-around visibility from the driver position, vehicle movements

particularly reversing, roll over, and maintenance. Those most at risk are the driver

and pedestrians likely to be struck by the vehicle, and drivers of smaller vehicles,

which cannot be seen from the cabs of large vehicles. Edge protection is always

necessary to prevent inadvertent movement over the edge of roadway or a bench.

Seatbelt will protect driver in case of roll. Good maintenance and regular testing are

necessary to reduce the possibility of brake failure. Access to the vehicles should

always be restricted to those people necessary for the work in hand. The use of

personal protective equipment and proper arrangements is essential to check if the

person is wearing protective equipment or not. The personal protective equipment

includes helmet, non-skid safety boots, safety glasses, earmuffs etc. The required

personal protective equipment should be provided and used in a manner that protects

the individual from injury. Few minor injuries which can be prevented are slip, trip, or

fall hazards; hazards due to rock falls and collapse of unstable rocks, atmosphere

containing toxic or combustible gases; protects from chemical or hazardous material

etc. A disaster management plan should be prepared for taking care of for any

disaster. Other risks which are included in this category are noise, as it occurs and it

TALC MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

43

can lead to permanent disability. There are problems related to road traffic in and out

issuers; inappropriate exposure of moving machines; mechanical failure and because

of large number of moving trucks and dumpers there is large quantity of dust present

in roadways which affects the operators and can lead to accidents causing injury.

They are in acceptable range because of precautions measures taken but no step is

taken it can cause hazard hence steps should be taken to reduce the hazards such as

for dust suppression system should be installed. Other problems like occurrence of

lots of mosquitoes in the area due to unhygienic conditions which affect the human

health causing malaria, dengue etc. and causing a person to be hospitalized.

Disaster in the mines like fires, explosions, entrapments, and inundations can occur

any time, so emergency preparedness is a must. The Disaster management plan and

risk assessment in the mines will include all sorts of above mentioned emergency and

the extent that this plan will be implemented will depend on the nature and scope of

the emergency. The basic purpose of Disaster management plan and risk assessment

to ensure that mine rescue and recovery activities are conducted safely for rescuer

and survivors. According to MMR act 1961 a standard operating procedure should be

drawn for involvement different category of staff and officers. The SOP should be

updated periodically to reduce the chaos and response to the emergency should be

quick and smooth. The responsible person should be familiar with his responsibility

during the mock drills. One or two standby should be there to replace the person in

Emergency situation. Rescue operations should not include the survivors for any

assistance.

First Information of Disaster / Emergency should go to the attendance clerk on duty.

Duties of attendance Clerk (Emergency Siren) the attendance clerk or other

designated person should on getting information of major accident, sound a hooter or

a siren immediately declaring a state of emergency at the mine and then to contact

the manager and on his advice to call key personnel using the information listed in the

Emergency Organization Chart. It is important that all telephone calls are recorded in

a telephone log book. Duties of Other Officials should be displayed and handed over

to all concerned. Copy the same should be kept at Manager’s Office for ready

Attendance roaster and duty charge register should be properly maintained so the

record of missing people can be obtained.

25. DETAILS OF THE OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH ISSUE IN THE DISTRICT:

The persons employed in the mines are exposed to a number of hazards at work

which adversely affect their health. Some of the important ones are dust, noise, heat,

humidity, vibration etc. In recent times, there has been increasing awareness among

mining industry and the workers about occupational diseases like Pneumoconiosis,

Silicosis, Tuberculosis, Hearing Impairment etc. caused by exposure to health hazards

at work. Almost all occupational diseases can be prevented by adopting proper

occupational health measures and engineering control on airborne dust pollution at

workplace. Occupational Diseases in mines or industry is required to conduct medical

examinations and health surveillance of workers as per the provisions of Mines Act.

The present efforts of mines management are concentrated on detection of silicosis,

Pneumoconiosis and other notified diseases. The essential features of health

surveillance programme required to be carried out in mines are:

(a) Initial Medical Examination of persons to be conducted at the time of

appointment.

(b) Periodic Medical Examination or General physical examination to be conducted

once in every year.

(c) Maintenance of medical records and health services till the person is in service.

(d) The Details of Tuberculosis cases in last 5 years is given below

26. PLANTATION GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT IN RESPECT OF LEASE

ALREADY GRANTED IN THE DISTRICT:

During mining operation green belt development through plantation is most important

for environment safe guard, which should be supervision by mining department.

Different type of species should be planted near lease periphery to keep environment

clean at post mining period through reclamation. Where specific usefulness of land

could be decided, a forestation is normally planned through the site could have been

considered for better possibilities of land use.

27. CONCLUSION:

Since it is an interim report, to meet the requirement of minerals in the present

scenario, it is proposed to identify such potential areas at certain interval and get the

data bank of DSR to be updated. The insitu mining activity in any area is on one hand

bring revenue and employment (Direct and indirect) and on other hand if not done

properly potential pollution and ecological imbalance increases, the ability of the

ecosystem can also be reduced. Particulate matter transported by the wind as a result

of excavations, blasting, transportation of materials, heavy equipments used raise

these particulate levels; and Gas emissions from the combustion of fuels in stationary

and mobile sources, explosions, and mineral processing. All these activities indirectly

affected the biodiversity of area. Larger potential and smaller areas have been

identified in Mayurbhanj district on the basis of geological study carried out during

field observation, which can be considered for mining concession after all the

parameters for statutory clearances are verified by consulting with concerned

authorities.
