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

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.

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

RIVER SAND MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT

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.

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:

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.

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.
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
field observation, which can be considered for mining concession after all the
parameters for statutory clearances are verified by consulting with concerned
authorities.

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.

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:

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.

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 –

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
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
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.

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 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.

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),
Kyanite, asbestos, steatite (soap stone) and quartzite constitute the principal mineral
resources of Mayurbhanj district, of these the iron-ore deposits of Gorumahisani,

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

7.4 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
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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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
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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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
KYANITE MINING DSR OF MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT.

constitute the principal mining activity of Bangirposi, Badasahi, Kaptipada, Kuliana
area etc. of Mayurbhanj district. Out of these huge granite stones deposits are
available near Badasahi, Kaptipada, Kuliana area and major potential sand in G.B
Nagar, Morada & Kaptipada area of the district, which have been provides
tremendous scope for development of few more industries based on this resources.
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

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.

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:

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.

7.4 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.

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.

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

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

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:

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

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
field observation, which can be considered for mining concession after all the
parameters for statutory clearances are verified by consulting with concerned
authorities.
