Mirtirtg Plan and Mine Closure PlanBsnhardih Coal Mine
The Banhardih Coal Mine falls in the Auranga coalfield surrounded bythe oider metamorphics of the Chhotanagpur Gneissic Complexrepresented by the Palamau Plateau. The general topogmphy of theblock characterizes with rolling terrain u'ith low ridges anddepressions. Elevation level of boreholes reveals that the minimum of427.t7rl:. in borehole no 2W and maximum of 459.9om in borehole nozoE. Around z5o/" of the block is covered with Protected Forest locatedin the western part. Partly the villages like Udaytura, Jagaldagga,Banhardih, and Sabano are falling within the forest area. Rest of thearea within the block is covered with cultivated land and residentialhutments.The Bagdagga nala and Rajdaha nalas and their tributaries forms themain drainage system of the sector. The courses of nalas have beendeveloped into cultivated lands and some gully head bandhs have beenconstructed across the nalas for storage of water for irrigation. A canalpasses across the area from north to south at the Centre and parallel tomain connecting road passes through Surli, Huchlu and Bari viliages.Due to undulating nature of the land, a number of natural ponds havebeen formed and these ponds are aligned in a definite line indicating apossible presence of fault. Water level varies from r m to 5m. Nearly roboreholes drilled in the block are showing the artesian condition.The area is characterized by Sub-Tropical climate. April to June is thesummer season with temperature rises up to 4So C or even more. It isvery cold during the month of December and January whentemperature lowers down to as low as 40 C. The monsoon starts fromthe middle of June and continues up to mid-September. There is hearyrainfall during the rainy season. The average annual rainfall of thedistrict is less than rzoo mm. In 2oo9 it was recorded maximum i.e.1425 mm. whereas, in zorz it was 7So mm.A drainage plan of the block area with respect to the nearby prominentwaterbodies are depicted in figure no. 1.4.Please refer to Plate No. \{I for present Surface condition ofBanhardih Coal Mine.

2.2 EXPLORATION, GEOLOGYAND ASSESSMENT OF RESER\IE
,r1 Regional geological set up ofthe area, local geology,structure, stratigraphicsequence, characteristics ofthe litho-logical units (CoalSeams/partings/overburden).
Auranga Coalfield is the easternmost coal field of theNorth Koel Valley Gondwana Basin. Banhardih CoalMine is a part of Auranga Coal Field and is situated inthe eastern part of the Auranga Coalfield in Latehardistrict of Jharkhand. The regional geologicalexploration carried out by the Geological Survey oflndia has revealed five promising coal bearing sectorsin Auranga Coal Field. These sectors are Jagaldagga(rosq.km), Gowa (tS sq.km), Rajbar (So sq.km),Sabano (ro sq.km) and Banhardih (ro sq.km).Banhardih occupies t8 sq km area in the south easternpart of the coal field. The block is having Forrnations ofLower Gondwana Group unconformably overlying thePre-Cambrians rock. The potential coal horizons aremainly confined in the Barakar and RaniganjFormations. Metamorphics present in the block havebeen mapped. On the basis of data accrued throughdrilling and geological mapping of the block, it isinterpreted that the Talchir, the Barakar, the BarrenMeasures and the Raniganj Formations of the LowerGondwana Group lie unconformably over the PreCambrian Metamorphics.

The block is virgin and shall commence its production on receipt of allrequisite Statutoryr Permits/clearances.
3.1.2 Proposed methodof mining \^rithjustification onsuitability ofrnethod of mining.
The occurrence of Coal seams has been established in the part of theBlock covering an area of ro49 Ha upto a depth of rzoo n-leterthrough detail exploration with a borehole density of 7.Bz BH/Sq.Km. The depth of occurrence of the Coal seam suggests coal winningthrough both opencast and Underground methods. The nature ofcoal seams with numerous faults and steep seam gradient requiresfurther technical stud1, before planning of Underground coal minefeasibilitv. However, this Mining Plan is envisaged coal miningthrough opencast methodology upto a depth of 3oo meter from thesurface level. Liquidation plan for the UG sector will be assessed atlater phase when the mine parameters and other GeorniningCharacteristics will be assessed through due course of mining anddetailed exploration in the unexplored part. The comprehensive coalextraction program through underground method shall besubrnitted within 5 years from the date of commencement of theMining Operation.Key planning considerations for winning of coal from Banardih CoalBlock are described belorv:
1. A11 coal reserves of more than r meter thickness have beenconsidered for mining;
2. Seam R-3, having only four intersections have not consideredfor mining;
3. All faces are considered to be horizontal with multiple seamand parting exposures.
4. A village road passing through the central part of the Blockneed to be diverted and a proposed la5zout has been shornrr inthis mining plan.
5. Abox cut has been planned from the northern boundarv oftheblock, from Incrop zone of Seam IT and IB. Influence zones ofboreholes r5E, r6E, z6E, 13 E & + N are considered for initialplanning.

to. Concurrent backfilling wili commence from 6th year onwards.u. Re-handling of the temporary surface Dump will be done in the
post closure period of 3 years.Choice of Opencast Mining:Before selection of Mining technology, following methods ofOpencast Mining were compared.i. BucketWheel Mining.ii. Dragline Mining.iii. Shovel Dumper Combination; and,iv. Continuous Surface Mining.
Out of the four methods rnentioned above, Overburden removal has
been planned with Shovel-Dumper Combination due to itsoperational flexibiliqv. Considering developmenl of 17 number ofcoal seams, multi seam working is inevitable at Banhardih CoalMine. Shovel/Excavators of var-ving sizes are thus consideredcornmensurate with the parting variations as depicted in theGeological Report (GR). Selections of size of equipment are based onthe thickness range of parting & OB. Based on the wide variation ofparting thickness range, shovels of varying size - 5.5 cum bucketcapacity to 12 cum bucket capacity has been proposed in this miningplan. Combination of 6o- roo T RDT also considered for obtainingthe optimum productivity of the excavators.The average workable coal seam thickness are found to be 4.23meter (seam Rz) to 37.86 meters (Seam rB), however the seamgradients are found to be on much higher side upto 45o. Consideringthe Geo-mining parameters of the block, coal production has beenplanned both through Drilling and Blasting and deploy-rnent ofSurface Miner. There will be no drilling and blasting till 7tt' year ofmining operation. It is envisaged that the lower packet of coal seams
which is thick in nature will be exposed in the mining benches. Morethe mine progresses towards south and south west, probabilit"v ofoccurrence of Seam r and Seam z will be restricted and parting

Mine VentilationBanhardih Coai Mine is envisaged to be rnined by opencastmining method. The maximum depth envisaged duringproposed planned period of 3o years is 3oo m. No artificialventilation system will be required to establish for this depth.Natural ventilation will drive out the toxic gases generatedfrom the HEMM operation.
Mine DrainageThe planning of de-watering of the mine has been done insuch a way that as far as possible the working faces and hauiroads shall remain dry. The iayout of tire quarry providessuitable gradient along the quarry floors and the benches tofacilitate self-drainage of water to the lowest level of thequarry. The sump water will be collected through pumps andsirall be utilized for Plantation, Sprinkling and Workshop use
in the dry season. While the storm water will be channelizedto the adjacent streams after treatment in the monsoonperiod.
Excavation of Overburden:As it is well known, the combination of Shovel and Dumpertechnology offers convenient mining operations, to deal withsudden occurrence of unworkable and poor quality zones andoffers flexibility for easy up gradation. During the initial yearof quarry operation a temporary road will be deveioped nearthe access trench by dressing the top soil and some leveling ofthe undulating surfaces. The overburden from lower bencheswill be connected by ramps to the western dump road, duringthe first g years from the commencement of mining operation.By then central flank road rvill be developed gradually alongwith the mine advancement. Internal dumping will becontinued from the 6th year trom the commencement ofmining operation.Though equipment is pror,'ided separately under orrerburdenand coal, the same shovel working in coal or OB may excavate

the parting or coal seam below and above a particular horizondepending on workload and location.
Coal Winning:It is envisaged to deploy surface miner for coal excavation fornearly about 66% of the totai production throughout the lifeof the mine. In this technology blasting is not required forexcavation of coal. Surface miner wili be provided forproduction of coal of uniforrn size. The inseam bands of +3ocm size can also be removed separately. Due toimplementation of selective mining the grade of the coal couldbe improved. In this technoiogy the coal face will be clean andwear & tear of dump trucks will also get reduced. SurfaceMiner will be operated with a minimum face dimension of2oo meter x 2oo meter.The Geo-mining condition of the Block suggests to adoptcombination of both Drilling and Blasting along with thedeployment of Sur{ace Miner for Coal Production. The steeplydipping seam, confinement of the bulk reserves within thelower horizons, reiatively thin seam in the upper packet andthe production demand - all suggested to adopt drilling andblasting in coal production along with the Surface Minerdeployment. The blasted coal will be subjected to crushingand screening units (z X 5oo TPH) to be installed within theproject area. Drilling and blasting is suggested tentativelyfrom Bth year onward.
Transportation:Coal production is proposed through both Surface MinerDeplol,rnent and Conventional driliing & blasting. The blastedcoal will be subjected to primary crushing at mine mouth toreduce the size to (-) roo mm, while surface miner coal will bedirectly loaded to the rakes through Rapid Loading System(RLS). Primary crusher of tooo TPH is proposed for crushingof coal before it is despatched from the project site. All coaltransportation is conceptualized to be through railway (MGRsystem) and loading will be done through Rapid Loading

) From the Sub-station, 3.3 kV overhead transmission line willbe laid along the edge of the quarry to feed power to equipmentinside the quarry" The surface loads of workshop, Office, storesetc., will be fed by distribution transformers.
) The system of power supply at all the voltages in the projecti.e., 3.3 KV, 4r5 V and z3o V will be by earthing neutral as perstatutory regulations.
> Due to inductive loads of pumps etc., it is proposed to improveoverall power factor of the system above o.9 by manuallyoperated capacitor banks. No automatic power factorcorrection is proposed as the connected loads are less.
i The working areas of the quarry and haul road etc. will beilluminated with energy efficient Sodiurn Vapour lampsmounted on 15-meter-high towers, installed along the edge ofthe quarry. z Nos of 5o KVA transformers shall be provided formeeting the lighting loads of the quarry.
The power for lighting loads of roads, stores, workshop, Officeetc., will be drawn from 3r5 IC/A, 3.3 W l++o V transformersinstalled at the Sub-station.
Drainage & PumpingAssessment of volume ofWater for Pumping,Pumping Capacity andPump Selection.
The planning of de-watering of the mine has been done in sucha way that as far as possible the working faces and haul roadsremain dry. The layout of the quarry provides suitable gradientalong the quarry floors and the benches to facilitate self-drainage of water to the ]owest level of the quarry towards theeastern side.The maximum rain water intake will be during the period ofabout four months (June to September) in a year. During dryseason, say October to May, seepage from strata is expected tobe moderate and the same can be dealt by running a fewnumbers of pumps provided for monsoon pumping. Duringthis period repair & overhauling of the pumps will be done byrotation.Sump will be planned in the lowermost part of the mining faceat any given point of time.The western section of the quarry face is proposed to act as themine sump.

gravitate into this sump by natural drainage. The quantity ofwater inflow during a day of peak rainfall in monsoon in excessof sump capacity will be handled by the main pumps.Although there is a fair variation from year to year, the averageannual rainfali is around 13oo mm per annum as per datacollected from Hazaribagh.The following considerations have been made for calculatingthe purnping requirement and selection of pump for thisinterim period.
o Excavated mine area and its depth.. Geographical location of the project.. General climatic conditions, surface features of the terrain
beyond the boundary of the mine.. Calendar plan of excavation of quarry.. Geological characteristics of OB and Coal seams.r Meteorological data of nearest rain-gauge stations.. Catchment areas, mined out areas beyond excavation, spoil
dump area etc., maximum depth of the quarry during thisinterim period.
r Water garland drains shall be developed in advance for eachstage of mine working so that rain water is coliected by thegarland drains and get diverted to the adjoining nallah.
. Desired location at surface where quarry water can bedischarged after due settlement and considering the surfacedrainage system.
. Maximum rainfall per day (r7omm continuous rainfail for z4hours).
. Pumping requirement has been assessed on the basis that themake of water on the day of maximum rainfall will be pumpedout in subsequent seven days.
r Within the quarry, the faces shall be so laid that water from theworking areas shall flow into the sump by gravity. From thesump, the water would be pumped out to the surface and willflow into the surface drainage system.
. Concurrent backfilling will be done in the de-coaled areas ofthe quarries.

Theelevation difference within the block is only about 3o meter. Assuch, the physiography of the block doesn't have much controlover the surface run off neither on the water accumulationwithin the block.Assessment for dewatering has been done based on bothSurface and Ground water conditions. Surface waterassessment has been done based on the average annualrainfall and rainfall over a period of z4 hours while groundwater has been assessed through detail hydrogeological studyof the biock.The average annual rainfall in the area is about r3oomm ofwhich 9o% precipitation is during rainy season from June toSeptember. Maximum rainfall in day found to be aroundrTomm. For pumping of rainwater, a high of t7o mm of rainfall ina day has been considered. The volume of rain water enteringto the mine and accumulating in the quarry has beenestimated on the basis of direct catchment area, maximumdaily precipitation and the run-off coefficient.Volume of rain water entering to the mine and accumulatingin the quarry (make of water) has been assessed on the basis ofthe following formula:
e=AXHXAmS/day;Where, A - Catchment area in m2
H - Maximum dailyprecipitation in mm;0 - Run-offco-efficient;
The run-off co-efficient (0) has been considered as below:For mined out area : 0.60For area beyond excavation : o.1SFor internal dumped area : o.1oThe maximum broken area within the planned period isenvisaged in the 9th year from the commencement of miningoperation and estimation for make of water done on thequarry parameters for fifth year only.

As post mine period, aliof the broken areas will be backfilled anddevelopment of toxic water is not anticipated.The accumulated water wili be utilised for theiocal community for agriculture and otherusage. Regular monitoring of the waterquality will be carried out as per the CPCBnorms. Once the mine is closed, outside watershall be prevented to enter into the mined outpits which in turn will reduce the TDS andother solvents.The pit water will be utilized for agriculturaluse, supply as drinking water after treatment,and for pisciculture.Water quality analysis shall be carried out as
per CPCB guidelines 2oo9.
8.3Post Closure Air QualityManagernent:
The post closure activities will be restrictedto limited operation only in the followingareas:
1. Disrnantling of temporaryinfrastructures.
2. Dismantling of conveyor systems.3. Dismantling of electrical
infrastructures.4. Regular maintenance works in the
dumping ground.S. Regular maintenance job in the
embankment.6. Post plantation care.7. Maintenance of the main haul road.B. Cleaning of suture drains and garland
