CHAPTER–I

INTRODUCTION

1.1 PURPOSE OF THE REPORT

Economic, social and environmental change is inherent to development. Whilst

development aims to bring about positive change it can lead to conflicts. In the past, the

promotion of economic growth as the motor for increased well-being was the main

development thrust with little sensitivity to adverse social or environmental impacts. The

need to avoid adverse impacts and to ensure long term benefits led to the concept of

sustainability. This has become accepted as an essential feature of development if the

aim of increased well-being and greater equity in fulfilling basic needs is to be met for this

and future generations.

Mankind, as it is developed today, cannot live without taking up developmental activities

for his food, security and other needs. Consequently, there is a need to harmonize

developmental activities with the environmental concerns. Environmental Impact

Assessment (EIA) is one of the tools available with the planners to achieve the above-

mentioned goals.

An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) may be defined as:

“A formal process to predict the environmental consequences of human development activities and to plan appropriate measures to eliminate or reduce adverse effects and to augment positive effects”.

EIA is an assessment of the possible impact—positive or negative—that a project may

have on the environment, together consisting of the natural, social and economic

aspects.

The purpose of the assessment is to ensure that decision makers consider the ensuing

environmental impacts when deciding whether to proceed with a project or not.

EIA, thus, has three main functions:

To predict problems/impacts

To find ways to avoid them, and

To enhance positive effects.

Law requires that every project proponent must take Environmental Clearance from

MoEFCC, New Delhi/State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA) before

starting up any project. The environmental clearance is also mandatory for the expansion,

modernization projects. The conditions are applicable as per the SEAC/MoEFCC

guidelines and EIA notifications issued and amended from time to time.

To keep the environment congenial for better standard of living, the provisions have

been made in the constitution of India and many Enactments have taken place, so that,

industrialization may not have adverse impact on the environment. There are many Acts /

Rules / Notifications issued by MoEFCC, few of them are mentioned below:

Environment (Protection) Act, 1986;

Page 49: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT ...

Proposed RBM (River Bed Material) Gravel Minor Mineral Mining Project, Block No.–1, Area 8.86 ha. at Hadbast No. –478 River Soan, Near village- Mahindpur, Tehsil-Nangal & District- Ropar (Rupnagar), Punjab.

Draft EIA/EMP Report

Shri Rakesh Kumar Choudhary 2

Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986;

Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974;

Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981;

Sustainable Sand Mining Management Guidelines, 2016;

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Notification, dated 14th September 2006 amended time to time.

As per the EIA Notification dated 14th September 2006, it is mandatory to have the

Environmental Clearance for any new industry or the expansion of the industry from

Ministry of Environment, Forests Climate Change, Government of India, New Delhi.

The process involves an analysis of the likely impacts on the environment, recording

those effects and appropriate control measures and management to ensure a secure,

hale and healthy environment in a report, undertaking a public consultation exercise on

the report, taking into account the comments and the report when making the final

decision and informing the public about that decision afterwards.

The sole purpose of the EIA report is to provide a coherent statement of the potential

impacts of a proposal and the measures that can be taken to reduce and remedy them. It

contains essential information for:

The proponent to implement the proposal in an environmentally and socially responsible way;

The responsible authority to make an informed decision on the proposal, including the terms and conditions that must be attached to an approval or authorization; and

The public to understand the proposal and its likely impacts on people and the

environment.

2.6 TOPOGRAPHY & DRAINAGE PATTERN

Topography–`

Topographically the area is uneven river bed. The highest elevation is 285.896 mRL and

lowest elevation is 283.210 mRL.

Drainage Pattern:

There is Soan River water bodies exist within the mine area. General drainage of the area is towards SE-NW.

The study area is having water bodies like Sutlej River at a distance of about ~4.80 km in

East direction from mine site which controls the drainage of study area.

2.7 DETAILS OF MINING

2.7.1 Method of Estimation of Reserves& Resources as per UNFC: -

Method of Estimation of Reserves

The Mineable reserves are estimated by following formula:

Volume of mineral = Area of Section x Sectional influence length

Mineral in tones= Volume of mineral x Recovery percentage x Bulk density 1.8 tones per

cu. Meter).

The reserves are computed for proved, probable and possible categories.

Proved category (111+211):

The mineral is exposed in the applied area up to below 3 mtr. and is continuing in depth.

The working mines are also observed in nearby area.

Mineable Reserve:-

Mineable reserves have been considered up to the depth of 3.0 m which calculates as

63,991 MT/Annum.

Area (ha.) Total Proved Geological Reserves MT= Cross-Sectional area (in sqm) x

influence length (in mts) x Bulk Density (1.8 t/m3) (MT) (UNFC code 111)

Reserves in Blocked 7.5m. Safe ty Barrier

Area (UNFC Code 211 X 222)

Mineable Reserves

(MT)

8.86 76507.64 12516.64 63991

2.7.3 Anticipated Life of Mine

As river bed material deposition is a continuous process depending on the rainfall and

monsoon. The material reserves replenished every year, hence life of mine cannot be

computed. The quantification of mineable reserves may increase or decrease

accordingly.

2.7.4 Use of Mineral

The mined-out mineral from the applied area is sorted manually at mine site & Gravel us

separated from sand, Boulder & Gravel. Boulder & Gravel will be transported to the

crusher site for crushing & and will be sold out in the market.

2.8 METHOD OF MINING

a. The Mining will be done by deploying earthmovers like excavator, Backhoe loaders

for loading of mineral into trucks, tippers and tractor/trolleys.

b. Mining will be restricted within the central 3/4th width of the river. Manual

excavation will be carried out where ever the channel width is less than 478 mtrs.

c. The slope is maintained at 45° from the horizontal width & bench height has been

taken 3 meter. Mining operation will be restricted to 3 meter.

d. No working shall be made within a distance of 7.5 meter of the lease boundary as

required under MMR 1961 and no mining operation shall be carried out of any point

within 75 meter of railway line or 60 mtr. from National Highway or 50 meter from

H.T Line any public works, reservoirs, tank, canal, public roads and buildings or

inhabited or 10 meter of outer edge of any village road.

e. No mining shall be carried out 478 meter in side and 500 meter outside of the flood

protecting bandh of Major River and No mining shall be carried out within 500m on

the upper side and lower side of the high-level bridge on the rivers. Similarly, no

mining shall be carried out within 250 mtr. of upper side and lower side of other

bridges.

f. When the mining will be carried out in the river bed, the LOI holder will intimate it 7

days in advance to Chief Engineer, Drainage and carry out the operation such that it

doesn’t affect the flow of river or damage embankments and will ensure that

Gravel excavation is carried out strictly in accordance with advice of the Chief

These are the following LU/LC Classes: -

Water Bodies, Crop land, Fallow Land, Human Settlement, Industrial Area, Mine Quarry, Scrub Land, Plantation, Railway Line, Road Network, Forest Land, Stony Waste Land, Open Land etc. as per NRSC Guide Line.

3.3.4.2 Generation & Analysis of Data

Geo-referencing of the Survey of India Toposheet

Scanned surveys of India Toposheets were registered in geographic latitude / longitude projection system with the help of ERDAS imagine software and re-project in UTM WGS 84 with respective zone.

Geo-Referencing of the Satellite Imagery

Registered Toposheets is used as a reference map for Geo-Referencing of Raw satellite imagery by taking suitable Ground Control Points (GCP) like intersection point of railway, Road network, Canal intersection and some other permanent features.

Enhancement of Satellite Image

Satellite data is composed of substantial noise and haze errors due to various environmental factors, which affect the amount of reflectance (information) that can be deciphered. Since mapping of satellite images is based on spectral signatures, it is necessary to normalize the redundant values into near true values. This process of deriving true reflectance values is known as normalization. This enhances interpretability of the satellite image thereby facilitating better identification of land features viewed on satellite imagery. Histogram equalization and radiometric correction has been used for satellite image enhancement.

Base Map Layer Creation

Base map has been prepared using Survey of India Toposheet as a reference map on 1:50000 scale. In base layer linear and point feature like road, rail, canal, village location and other secondary information have been created in vector data format with the help of ArcGIS Software.

Data Analysis and Classification Using Digital Interpretation Technique

Image interpretation is the process of identifying objects or conditions in images and determining their meaning or significance. Satellite imagery are composed of array of grid, each grid has a numeric value that is known as digital number. Smallest unit of this grid is known as a pixel that captures reflectance of ground features represented in terms of Digital number, which represent a specific land feature. Using image classification technique, the satellite data is converted into thematic information map based on the user’s knowledge about the ground area.

Hybrid technique has been used i. e. visual interpretation and digital image processing for identification of different land use and vegetation cover classes based on spectral signature of geographic feature. Spectral signature represents various land use classes. Image interpretation keys are developed for better Interpretation/Classification scheme which is Shape, Size, Color, Tone, Texture Pattern, Association etc. Based on the Interpretation key and Spectral signature Entire satellite imagery is classified in different classes like Water Bodies, Crop land, Fallow Land, Human Settlement, Industrial Area, Mine Quarry, Scrub Land, Plantation, Railway Line, Road Network, Forest Land, Stony Waste Land, Open Land etc.

Ground Data Collection and Verification

Ground truth/ field verification is an important component in mapping and its validation exercise. Utmost care and planning is required for collecting ground data and verification. To facilitate a good ground truthing exercise the following steps were followed:

Identifying and listing all the doubtful areas for the ground verification and referring all such areas with respect to the toposheet to know their geographical location and accessibility on the ground.

Field traverse plan was prepared to cover maximum doubtful areas in the field in such a way that each traverse covers, as many land use and land cover classes as possible, apart from the doubtful areas

The sufficient number of points was covered for each Land Use Class as required for quality checking as well as accuracy assessment.

Error Fixing / Reclassification

Reclassification of Land Use classes was done on the basis of data collected / verified during ground truthing.

Final Map Generation

Final maps are generated for the core area as well as Buffer area. 3 Pixels is Filtered using Clump and Eliminate Process after ensuring to maintain crucial classes of importance. Base map layers is overlaid on the classified raster data and then thematic maps is generated on the layout consisting of Project name, legend, source of data, Index map, scale bar and North arrow.

A hybrid technique has been used i. e. visual interpretation and digital image processing to generate output Land use & Land cover map of the 10 km buffer area on 1:50000 scale.

3.3.6 Observation of the LU/LC Data

The study area of the buffer zone mainly comprises of crop land with 40.44 % cover. The second largest area is covered by Forest Land i.e., 15.80 %. About 2.33 % area is under mining area.

There are water bodies in the study area forming 6.00 % of study area.

There is no National Park, Biosphere Reserve, Tiger Reserve, Wildlife Corridor, etc. within 10 km radius.

3.3.7 Identification of Impacts on Land Use Pattern due to Project Activity

Impact on Core Zone:

This is a proposed mine; there will be change in the land use of core zone due to the proposed project from mining activities.

At the conceptual stage total excavated area will be 7.70 ha. which will be

converted into Replenished area, 1.16 Ha. area will be undisturbed area (buffer

zone). Green Belt/ Plantation will be done outside the lease area on land

identified by DFO Social Forestry concerned in consultation with village

panchayat. The trees will be planted @2000 saplings per hectare of land species

will be like: Azadirachta indica (Neem), Ficus religiosa (Peepal), Ficus benghalensis

(Bargad), Tamarindus indica (Imli), Terminalia arjuna (Arjun).

Impact on Buffer Zone:

People, who migrate from the near-by villages for employment, may depend on the local resources available in that area.

Additional infrastructure may be developed in the surrounded area, which may also change the present land use of the area i. e. agricultural to hutments, shops etc.

Draft EIA/EMP Report

Shri Rakesh Kumar Choudhary 23

In the M.L. area, mining activity will be confined to the mineralized zone & proper pollution control measures will be adopted to restrict the pollution load within the active zone in order to prevent any negative impact on nearby crop fields due to mining operation.

3.3.8 Recommendations

As per present land use, various patches of stony area are found near to the M.L. area. Thus, migrants may be relocated on the stony area.

Additional infrastructure may be developed on the stony area; so that there may not be any impact on the agricultural land.

The following practices shall be carried out to increase the productivity of the study area:

Awareness for new methodologies of the agricultural practices viz. mixed farming, crop rotation and agricultural cropping pattern suitable for the lease area.

Providing seeds, manure and fertilizers from different sources.

Rainwater harvesting practices shall be encouraged which will lead to ground water recharge and ultimately increased productivity in the study area.

Construction of the Garland drains along the temporarily Dump area can minimize the water contamination.

3.3.9 Conclusion

Remote Sensing data provides real time information pertaining to aspects of Land use & Land cover. Precise quantitative information could be extracted about existing land use & land cover in context to spatial dimension. Integration of various data layers gives proper understanding of the problem.

3.4 SEISMICITY OF THE AREA

Many parts of the Indian subcontinent have historically high Seismicity. Seven catastrophic earthquakes of magnitude greater than 8 (Richter scale) have occurred in the western, northern and eastern parts of India and adjacent countries in the past 100 years.

By contrast, peninsular India is relatively less seismic, having suffered only infrequent earthquakes of moderate strength. The main seism genic belts are associated with the collision plate boundary between the Indian and Eurasian plates.

The project site as well as study area lies in Zone-II of Seismic Zoning Map, and thus can be said to be located in an area of low seismic hazard by national standards. Hence the risk of earthquake at the site is minimal and so the site is safe.

3.8 METEOROLOGY

Meteorology plays a vital role in determining the transport and diffusion pattern of air pollutants released into atmosphere. The principal variables include horizontal convective transport (average wind speed and direction), vertical convective transport (atmospheric stability) and topography of the area.

Meteorological characteristics of an area are very much important in assessing possible environmental impacts and in preparing environmental management plan.

Since meteorological factors show wide fluctuations with time, meaningful interpretation can be drawn only from long-term reliable data. Such source of data is India Meteorological Department (IMD), which maintains a network of meteorological stations at several important locations.

The nearest IMD station to the study area is located at Bilaspur (approx. 33 km, ENE). The Meteorological data i.e. wind speed, and wind direction, recorded maximum & minimum from this IMD station for Winter Season (Dec. 2020 to Feb. 2021) and was used to study the meteorology of the area.

3.8.1 Micro-Meteorology at Site

Meteorological station was set-up at site to record surface meteorological parameter

during Winter Season (Dec. 2020 to Feb. 2021).

Wind speed and wind direction data recorded during the study period has enabled identifying the influence of meteorology on the air quality of the area. Based on the collected meteorological data, relative percentage frequencies of different wind directions were calculated and plotted as wind roses for twenty-four-hour duration. Maximum and minimum temperatures including percentage relative humidity were also recorded simultaneously. It was observed that the predominant over all wind

patterns for the study period was from.

3.8.2 Mixing Height & Inversion Height

Mixing height is the height to which significant mixing of added pollutants occurs within the atmosphere. Mixing height depends on basic meteorological parameters,

surface turbulent fluxes and physical parameters, and follows a diurnal cycle.

Inversion may be defined as the “departure from the usual increase or decrease of atmospheric conditions with altitude.” It usually refers to an increase in temperature with increasing altitude, which is in contrast to usual decrease of temperature with

height.

In the absence of onsite data, IMD publication, “Atlas of Hourly Mixing Height and Assimilative Capacity of Atmosphere in India”, has been used for the study area.

Mixing height is given in the table no. 3.4:

Assimilative Capacity of Atmosphere in India”

3.9 AMBIENT AIR ENVIRONMENT

Ambient air quality monitoring is done to determine the general background concentration levels. Samples were collected in the 10 km study area to observe pollution trends throughout the region. It helps in providing a data base for evaluation of effects of a project activity in that region. It will be also useful in ascertaining the quality of air environment in conformity to standards of the ambient

air quality during operation of mine.

3.9.1 Sampling Methodology

The air quality monitoring was done during Winter Season, (Dec. 2020 to Feb. 2021) within 10 km radius study area.

The samples were collected for the following air quality determinants:

Draft EIA/EMP Report

Shri Rakesh Kumar Choudhary 36

As far as the gaseous pollutants SO2 and NOx are concerned, the prescribed CPCB limit of

80 g/m3 has never surpassed at any station. The concentrations of SO2were found to be

in range of 14.6g/m3 to 5.9 g/m3. The concentrations of NOx were found to be in range of 13.4 g/m3 to 25.4 g/m3.

3.10 NOISE ENVIRONMENT

Noise often defined as unwanted sound, interferes with speech communication, causes annoyance, distracts from work, disturb sleep, thus deteriorating quality of human environment.

3.10.1 Source of Noise

At Mine - Many mine workers will be exposed not only to loud but sustained noise levels. At mines, most of the large excavation equipment utilized in open pits are not said to be responsible for the excessive noise levels as they are mostly equipped with noise-protected operator cabins. However, excavators with lower capacity and mobile diesel - powered machines have been accepted as the primary noise sources in surface mining activities.

Study Area - There will be several sources in the study area, which contribute to the local noise level of the area. Ambient noise sources in the vicinity of the project include the noise from traffic from rail and road, human activities in villages and agricultural fields. Noise level measurement is therefore essential to assess noise pollution.

3.10.2 Ambient Noise Level

In order to know the baseline noise levels, in and around the mine sites, noise levels were measured at nearby sites and villages in the study area. Tables showing the locations of the noise monitoring stations are given in below Table no.3.8 & 3.9.

3.14.6 Baseline Data & Analysis

The socio-economic study was conducted on the basis of secondary data prepared including Demography, Education, Medical & Health, Occupation, Agriculture & Cropping pattern, Basic Amenities and Religious Rituals details. The study area (buffer zone) was categorized on the basis of the distance of the villages from mine site. Primary zone was identified from the core zone 0 to 3 km radius core area, Secondary zone in 3-5 km, Tertiary zone 5-7 km and Outer zone in 7-10 km radius area from the mine site.

3.14.7 Population Distribution

On the basis of secondary data, the total population of study area is 48,604 and comprises of 9678 Households (Table– 3.21). The population distribution varies from place to place (as shown in figure 3.13).

Figure –3.13: Population Distribution of the Study Area

3.14.8 Vulnerable Group

While developing an Action Plan, it is very important to identify the population who fall under the marginalized and vulnerable groups and special attention has to be given towards these groups while making action plans. Special provisions should be made for them.

In the Study Area, Schedule Caste (SC) population is 8818 (18.14% of total population) and Schedule Tribe (ST) population is 0 (0 % of the total population) in study area (Table–3.21). 39786 (81.84%) population observed as others. SC & ST population varies village to village. The village in which SC population is most dominant is Brahampur {Figure – 3.14}.

3.14.9 Religion

The religion of the majority of the population in the Study Area is Hindu.

3.14.10 Literacy Rate

Literacy Rate is the amount of people in a country with the ability to read and write. The analysis of the literacy levels is done in the study area. The 10 km radius study area demonstrates a literacy rate of 81.83% as per census 2011. The male literacy rate in the study area works out to be 88.69% whereas the female literacy rate, which is an important indicator for social change, is observed to be 74.78 % in the study area. This indicates that there is a need to focus in sociological aspect in the region and enhance further development. The distribution of literacy rates in the villages is given in Figure: 3.15.

In the present study, the literacy rate is quiet moderate in the study area. Male and Female literacy rate of villages are varying place to place. Although Female literacy an alarming situation.

3.14.11 Economic Activities

The economy of an area is defined by the occupational pattern and income level of the people in the area. The occupational structure of residents in the study area is studied with reference to work category. The population is divided occupation wise into three categories, viz., main workers, marginal workers, and non-workers. The workers include cultivators, agricultural laborers, those engaged in household activities and other services.

The marginal workers are those workers engaged in some work for a period of less than 180 days during the reference year. The non-workers include those engaged in unpaid household duties, students, retired persons, dependents, beggars, vagrants etc. besides institutional inmates or all other non-workers who do not fall under the above categories.

CHAPTER–IV

ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

4.1 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

The environmental parameters likely to be affected by mining are related to many

factors, i.e. physical, social, economic, agriculture and aesthetic. Opencast mining

involves extraction of underneath minerals and dumping of waste along with other

operations and other vehicular movements. All the operations can disturb environment

of the area in various ways such as removal of mass, change of landscape,

displacement of human settlement, impact on flora and fauna of the area and on

surface drainage and change in air, water and soil quality. While for purpose of

development and economic upliftment of people, there is need for establishment of

industries and mining, but these have to be environmental friendly. Therefore, it is

essential to assess the impacts of mining on different environmental parameters,

before starting the mining operations, so that abatement measures could be planned

in advance for eco-friendly mining in the area.

4.2 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT & MITIGATION MEASURES

The mining activities cause environmental problems such as degradation of land,

deteriorating air, water and soil quality, affecting the biological and socio-economic

environment of the area. The impacts of mining on various environmental parameters

were assessed and are given below.

4.3 CUMULATIVE IMPACT THROUGH MATHEMATICAL MODELING FOR MINING PROJECT

Prediction of impacts on air environment has been carried out employing mathematical

model based on a steady state Gaussian plume dispersion model designed for multiple

point sources for short term. In the present case, AERMOD version 8.1 dispersion

model based on steady state Gaussian plume dispersion, designed for multiple point

sources and developed by United States Environmental Protection Agency [USEPA]

was used for simulations from different sources.

Existing industries within 10km radius of proposed mine site has been taken into

consideration while calculating cumulative impact.

4.3.1 Pollutants/ Model Options Considered for Computations

The model simulations deal with major pollutant Particulate Matter (PM) emitted from

the proposed mine project.

4.3.1.1 Model Options Used for Computations

The options used for short-term computations are:

The plume rise is estimated by Briggs formulae, but the final rise is always limited

to that of the mixing layer;

Stack tip down-wash is not considered;

Buoyancy Induced Dispersion is used to describe the increase in plume dispersion

during the ascension phase;

Calms processing routine is used by default;

River Soan, Near village- Mahindpur, Tehsil-Nangal & District- Ropar (Rupnagar), Punjab.

EIA/EMP Report

Shri Rakesh Kumar Choudhary 74

Wind profile exponents is used by default, 'Irwin';

Flat terrain is used for computations;

It is assumed that the pollutants do not undergo any physico-chemical

transformation and that there is no pollutant removal by dry deposition;

Washout by rain is not considered;

Cartesian co-ordinate system has been used for computations; and

The model computations have been done for 10 km distance with 500-m interval

4.3.1.2 Modelling Procedure

Prediction of ground level concentrations (glc’s) due to the proposed mining project has

been made by AERMOD version 8.1. It is USEPA approved model to predict the air quality.

The model uses rural dispersion and regulatory defaults options. For this study uniform

polar receptors on flat terrain have been assumed.

Meteorological inputs required are wind speed, direction, ambient temperature, stability

classes, and mixing height. The model details are as follows.

4.3.1.3 Gaussian Plume Model

The AERMOD version 8.1 model is based on a numerical integration over the area in the

upwind and cross wind directions of Gaussian plume formula. This can be applied to the

Point, Area, Line, Volume sources (& other forms of area sources) simultaneously and

their resultant incremental concentration of the pollutant can be predicted.

4.3.1.4 Stability Classification

Hourly stability is determined by wind direction fluctuation method as suggested by Slade

(1965) and recommended by CPCB (PROBES/70/1997-1998).

a = Wdr/6

a, is standard deviation of wind direction fluctuation, Wdr is the overall wind direction

fluctuation or width of the wind direction in degrees. The table for stability classes is given

as under:

Stability Class a (degree) Stability Class a (degree)

A > 22.5 D 12.4 – 7.5

B 22.4 – 17.5 E 7.4 – 3.5

C 17.4 – 12.5 F < 3.5

4.3.1.5 Dispersion Parameters

Dispersion parameters y and z for open country conditions (Briggs, 1974) are used as the

project is located on a flat terrain in a rural area. Atmospheric dispersion coefficients vary

with downwind distance (x) from emission sources for different atmospheric stability

conditions. (CPCB – PROBES/70/1997-98)

4.3.1.6 Mixing Height

As site specific mixing heights were not available, mixing heights based on IMD publication, “Atlas of Hourly Mixing Height and Assimilative Capacity of Atmosphere in India”, has been considered for Industrial Source Complex model to establish the worst case scenario.

TABLE: 4.1 Mixing Height for Winter- Season

Source: IMD publication, “Atlas of Hourly Mixing Height and

Assimilative Capacity of Atmosphere in India”

4.3.1.7 Meteorological Data

Data recorded at the continuous weather monitoring station on wind speed, direction,

and temperature at one hour interval for the monitoring period was used as

meteorological input.

4.3.1.8 Presentation of Results

In the present case model simulations have been carried using the hourly Triple Joint

Frequency data. Short-term simulations were carried to estimate concentrations at the

receptors to obtain an optimum description of variations in concentrations over the site in

10 km radius covering 16 directions.

The concentration of PM10 is ranging from 63.4 g/m3 to 79.6 g/m3 well below the limits

of NAAQS (Industrial Area, Residential Rural & Other Areas) at all locations.

The increment in the fugitive emissions will be due to mineral handling and

transportation activity. These will be restricted to the lease area only by adopting

proper mitigation measures, which will be practiced at the mine site to control air

pollution load below the prescribed limits.

4.3.2 Air Pollution Due To Mining

(i) Gaseous Pollution

The gaseous pollutants (SO2 & NOx) will be anticipated by mining machineries.

The ambient air quality was measured on 24 hourly basis for the gaseous

pollutants.

(ii) Particulate Matter

The generation of dust will be anticipated from various mining activities i.e.

loading, haulage and other transport activities related to mining. These will

increase PM10 in the area if no mitigative measures are taken.

4.3.3 Prevention and Control of Air Pollution

A. Dust Pollution

One of the main pollutants in air particulate matter (PM), which will be generated

during various activities of mining such as removal of overburden, extraction of

mineral, movement of mining machinery and vehicles. Following measures are

adopted to minimize air pollution:-

Sharp drill bits will be used for drilling to reduce generation of dust.

Operators will be provided with suitable air respirators.

Blasting will be done as and when required for breaking the hard strata & it

will be proposed in small scale with low charge.

Regular water spraying on the haul roads will be done.

Green belt development will be done around the lease boundary to control

dust pollution.

Periodical monitoring will be carried out.

B. Prevention and control of Gaseous pollutants

In mining activities, the only source of gaseous emissions is the diesel engines

of vehicles and equipments.

Proper maintenance of machine will be done, which will be minimizes the

pollutants.

4.4 IMPACT OF NOISE & MITIGATION MEASURES

4.4.1 Impact of Noise on Working Environment

Noise level will be increases due to excavation and transportation of mineral.

However, the expected noise levels will not be likely to have any adverse effect from

the occupational health point of view.

7.3.8 Off-Site Emergency Planning

7.3.8.1 Introduction

The off-site emergency plan is an integral part of any hazard control system. It would

be based on those accidents identified by the works management, which could affect

people and the environment outside the works. Thus, the off-site plan follows

logically from the analysis that took place to provide the basis for the on-site plan and

the two plans should, therefore, complement each other. The key feature of a good

off-site emergency plan is flexibility in its application to emergencies other than those

specifically included in the formation of the plan. The roles of the various parties that

may be involved in the implementation of an off-site plan are described below. The

responsibility for the off-site plan will be likely to rest either with the works

management or with the local authority.

Either way, the plan must identify an emergency coordinating officer who would take

overall command of the off-site activities. As with the on-site plan, an emergency

control center will be required within which the emergency coordinating officer can

operate. An early decision will be required in many cases on the advice to be given to

people living “within range” of the accident – in particular whether they should be

evacuated or told to go indoors. Consideration of evacuation may include the

following factors:

DraftEIA/EMP Report

Shri Rakesh Kumar Choudhary 94

a. In the case of a major fire but without explosion risk (e.g. an oil storage tank),

only persons close to the fire are likely to need evacuation, although a severe

smoke hazard may require this to be reviewed periodically.

b. But if the fire escalates it might be necessary to evacuate people nearby, but

only if there is time; if insufficient time exists, people would be advised to stay

indoors and shield themselves from the fire while measures are taken by those

outside to douse fire.

7.3.8.2 Aspects to be Included in An Off-Site Emergency Plan

Some of the aspects to be included in off-site emergency plan are as follows:

a) Organization

Details of command structure, warning systems, implementation procedures,

emergency control centers, name and appointments of incident controller, site

main controller, their deputies and other key personnel.

b) Communications

Identification of personnel involved, communication center, call signs, network,

list of telephone numbers.

c) Special Emergency Equipment

Details of availability and location of heavy lifting gear, bulldozers, specified

fire-fighting equipment, fireboats.

d) Voluntary Organizations

Details of organizers, telephone numbers, resources, etc.

e) Meteorological information

Arrangements for obtaining details of weather conditions prevailing at the time

and weather forecasts will be made.

f) Humanitarian Arrangements

Transport, evacuation centers, emergency feeding, treatment of injured, first

aid, ambulances, temporary mortuaries.

g) Public Information

Arrangements for: -

(i) Dealing with the media-press office

(ii) Informing relatives, etc.

h) Assessment

Arrangements for: -

(i) Collecting information on the causes of the emergency

(ii) Reviewing the efficiency and effectiveness of all aspects of the emergency

plan.

Shri Rakesh Kumar Choudhary 95

7.3.8.3 Other Aspects due to River Bed Mining Project: -

Mining Operation will be done Manual cum Semi-Mechanized Method. There is no

land degradation due to mining activities as mining is done only on river bed surface.

There will be no Over Burden (OB) or waste generation as the river bed material is

exposed in the river bed.

Accident during river bed material loading, transportation and dumping

Accident due to vehicular movement

Inundation/ Flooding

Quick Sand Condition

Mitigation Measures: -

Measures to prevent accidents during loading: -

At the time of loading no person will be there within the swing radius of the

excavator.

The dumpers/ trucks will stand near the loading equipment and fully braked

when the muck is filled in it.

The truck would be brought to a lower level so that the loading operation suits

to the ergonomic condition of the workers.

The workers will be provided with gloves and safety shoes during loading.

Opening of the side covers (pattas) should be done carefully and with warning

to prevent injury to the loaders.

Mining activities in daylight only.

Measures to prevent accidents during vehicular movement &transportation: -

The truck will be covered with tarpaulin and maintained to prevent any spillage.

To avoid danger while reversing the trackless vehicles especially at the

embankment and tipping points, all areas for reversing of Lorries should be

made man free as far as possible.

The vehicles must be maintained in good conditions and checked thoroughly at

least once in a week.

All transportation within the main working will be carried out directly under the

supervision and control of the management.

Overloading should not be permitted and the maximum permissible speed limit

should be ensured.

The truck drivers should have proper driving license.

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

long way in reducing the incidents of such accidents

Measures to prevent incidents during Inundation/ Flooding: -

During monsoon months and heavy rains, the mining operations are ceased.

There should be mechanism/ warning system of heavy rains and discharges from

the Up-stream of water.

Inundation of flooding is expected and beneficial for these mines as during this

time only the mineral reserve gets replenished

DraftEIA/EMP Report

Shri Rakesh Kumar Choudhary 96

Precautionary Measure for Sudden Release of Water from Upstream: -

Mining activities should be avoided during monsoon season.

Exist zones should be clearly marked and made aware to the mine workers.

Deep water areas must be identified.

Measures to prevent sudden increase in water level

Following activities will be done to minimize the risk are: -

The mining activities will be restricted to 1.0 m depth from river bed surface.

Mining activities will be avoided during monsoon season.

Mining will be done as per the approved Mining Plan and it will be ensured to

avoid the pounding effect

7.3.8.4 Role of The Emergency Coordinating Officer

The various emergency services will be coordinated by an Emergency Coordinating

Officer (ECO) who is likely to be a senior police officer but, depending on the

circumstances, could be a senior fire officer. The ECO will liaise closely with the site

main controller. Again, depending on local arrangements, for very severe incidents

with major or prolonged off-site consequences, the external control may pass to a

senior local authority administrator or even an administrator appointed by the Central

or State Government.

7.3.8.5 Roles of Major Hazard Managements

Where the local authority has the organization to formulate the plan, the role of

management in off-site emergency planning will be to establish liaison with those

preparing the plans and to provide information appropriate to such plans. This will

include a description of possible on-site accidents with potential for off-site harm,

together with their consequences and an indication of the relative likelihood of the

accidents.

Advice should be provided by works managements to all the outside organizations

which may become involved in handling the emergency off-site and which will need

previously to have familiarized themselves with some of the technical aspects of the

works activities, e. g. emergency services, medical departments, etc.

7.3.8.5.1 Role of The Local Authority

In some places the duty to prepare the off-site plan lies with the local authorities.

They may have appointed an emergency planning officer (EPO) to carry out all this

duty as part of the EPO’s roles in preparing for a whole range of different

emergencies within the local authority area. The EPO will need to obtain the

information to provide the basis for the plan.

Rehearsals for off-site plans are important for the same reasons as on-site plans and

will need to be organized by the EPO.

7.3.8.5.2 Role of The Police

The police normally assume the overall control of an emergency, with a senior officer

designated as emergency coordinating officer.

Page 144: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT ...

Proposed RBM (River Bed Mineral) Gravel Minor Mineral Mining Project, Block No.–1, Area 8.86 ha, at Hadbast No. –478 River Soan, Near village- Mahindpur, Tehsil-Nangal & District- Ropar (Rupnagar), Punjab.

DraftEIA/EMP Report

Shri Rakesh Kumar Choudhary 97

Formal duties of the police during an emergency include protecting life and property

and controlling traffic movements.

The functions include controlling bystanders, evacuating the public, identifying the

dead and dealing with casualties and informing relatives of dead or injured.

7.3.8.5.3 Role of The Fire Authorities

The control of a fire is normally the responsibility of the senior fire brigade officer

who would take over the handling of the fire from the site incident controller on

arrival at the site. The senior fire brigade officer may also have a similar responsibility

for other events. Fire authorities having major hazard works in their area should have

familiarized themselves with the location on site of all stores of flammable materials,

water and foam supply points and fire-fighting equipment’s.

7.3.8.5.4 Role of The Health Authorities

Health authorities, including doctors, surgeons, hospitals, ambulances and so on,

have a vital part to play following a major accident and they should form an integral

part of any emergency plan.

For major fires, injuries will be the result of the effects of thermal radiation to a

varying degree and the knowledge and experience to handle this in all, but extreme,

cases may be generally available in most hospitals.

7.3.8.5.5 Roles of The Government Safety Authority

The Inspectors of Director General of Mines Safety may want to satisfy themselves

that the organization responsible for including the off-site plan has made adequate

arrangements for handling emergencies of all types including major emergencies.

In the event of an accident, local arrangements regarding the role of the factory

inspector will apply. In the aftermath, factory inspectors may wish to ensure that the

affected areas are rehabilitated safely.

7.4 DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

This should deal with action plan for high-risk accidents like Landslides, Earthquakes,

subsidence, Avalanches & Snow Blizzards, Drought, Wind Strom, Cloudburst, flood,

inundation, fire, seismic activities, tailing dam failures etc. and emergency plan

proposed for quick evacuation, ameliorative measures to be taken etc. The capability

of lessee to meet such eventualities and the assistance to be required from the local

authorities should be described.

The shallow depth of activities in river bed mining will not involve any high-risk accident due to side falls/collapse.

The complete mining operation will be carried out under the Management and

control of experienced and qualified Mines Manager having Certificate of

Competencyto manage the mines granted by DGMS.

o All the provisions of Mines Act 1952, MMR 1961 and Mines Rules 1955 and other

laws applicable to mine will strictly be complied with.

o During heavy rainfall the mining activities will be closed.

o All persons in supervisory capacity will be provided with proper communication

facilities.

o Proper coordination with Irrigation Department will be maintained so that at the

time of releasing water, if any, from the dam suitable warning/information is given

in advance.

o Disaster Warning System” as developed will be strictly implemented

7.5 REPLENISHMENT STUDY: -

Sedimentation- In the geological sciences is a process of deposition of a solid material from a state of suspension or solution in a fluid (usually air or water). Broadly defined it also includes deposits from glacial ice and those materials collected under the impetus of gravity alone as in talus deposits, or accumulations of rock debris at the base of cliffs. The term is commonly used as a synonym for sedimentary petrology and sediment logy. Sedimentation is generally considered by geologists in terms of the textures, structures, and fossil content of the deposits lay down in different geographic and geomorphic environments. Rupnagar district holds a distinct place in the state with respect to strategic geographical position in the state and the availability of minor mineral resources from the bed of River Sutlej, Sirsa and Soan. The presences of minor mineral are suitable for mining. Mining of sand/gravel is being done since long time therefore no specific method of exploration is required as the sand/Gravel, deposited all along the bed is very well exposed on surface moreover, the excavated minerals are accumulated/replenished every year during rainy season by flow of water depending on intensity of rains on the upstream side. Adequate quantity of sand/gravel in reserved is available for meeting consumer demand. Mainly three types of Minor Minerals constituents such as Stone Bajri are required for any type of construction apart from other material like cement and steel. In the earlier time the mudhouses/buildings were constructed with the use of mud. However, with the passage of time, new techniques of development activities were started. As such the demand of Minor Mineral started on an increasing trend. In order to meet the requirement of raw material for construction, the extraction of sand carried out manually / semi- mechanized process from the river beds.The local residents used to lift sand etc. from the river beds to meet out their bonafide requirement. However, after coming into being the Punjab Minor Mineral rules 1964, and amended rules in 2013. The mining is regulated in accordance with the rules. Apart from the above mining operations, mining of brick earth and ordinary earth is also carried out at many areas of the district which requires digging earth only up to a certain depth of 1 m to 1.5 m by individual brick kiln owners. As Punjab is primarily an agricultural state and land is scarce thus many small/marginal farmers give their land on lease for mining of brick earth/ ordinary earth and same is restored as early as possible after mining to make it fit for agricultural purposes. Mining of sand/gravel is being done since long times therefore no specific method of exploration is required as the sand/gravel, deposited all along the bed is very well exposed on the surface. Moreover, the excavated minerals are accumulated /replenished every year during rainy season by flow of water depending on the intensity of rains on the upstream side. There is as such no specific life of the mine as the area under reference is open and barrel bed of the river and whatever quantity of minor minerals are extracted from

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

10.1 INTRODUCTION

The environmental management plan consists of a set of mitigation, management,

monitoring and institutional measures to be taken during implementation and

operation of the project, to eliminate adverse environmental impacts or reduce them

to acceptable levels. The environmental management plan addresses, the

components of environment, which are likely to be affected by the different

operations in a mine.

The Objectives of EMP are:

Overall conservation of environment.

Minimization of waste generation and its proper use.

Judicious use of natural resources and water.

Safety, welfare and good health of the work force and others.

Ensure effective operation of all control measures.

Vigilance against probable hazards and risk assessment.

Monitoring of cumulative and long term impacts.

Ensure effective operation of all control measures.

Environmental Management Plan, which is to be implemented in the project, is

detailed under the following heads:

Air Pollution Control

Noise Mitigation

Water Management

Land Reclamation

Greenbelt Development

10.2 AIR ENVIRONMENT

In order to minimize impacts of mining on different environmental parameters and to

keep air and water quality within prescribed limits of PPCB, an Environmental

Management Plan (EMP) has been prepared. This will be help in resolving all

environmental and ecological issues due to mining in the area.

The environmental management plan will be include all preventive as well as

mitigation measures to minimize impact on environment along-with reclamation and

rehabilitation measures for mined out land.

The individual operations which will be generate particulate matter drilling, blasting,

excavation, loading, unloading and transportation etc. The general air pollution in

Page 152: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT ...

Proposed RBM (River Bed Mineral) Gravel Minor Mineral Mining Project, Block No.–1, Area 8.86 ha., at Hadbast No. –478 River Soan, Near village- Mahindpur, Tehsil-Nangal & District- Ropar (Rupnagar), Punjab.

Draft EIA/EMP Report

case of mining operation includes dust, smoke, Sulphur dioxide, nitrates etc. Gaseous

emission due to blasting and exhaust from diesel engines of the machinery deployed

also pollute the atmosphere marginally. These can have adverse effects on the

human health conditions, depending upon the concentration, particle size and

duration of exposure with the above pollutants.

However, proper precautions will be help in minimizing the adverse impact due to air

pollution.

10.2.1 Prevention and Control of Air Pollution

A. Dust Pollution

One of the main pollutants in air will be particulate matter (PM), which will be

generated during various activities of mining such as removal of overburden,

extraction of mineral, movement of mining machinery and vehicles. Following

measures will be adopted to minimize air pollution:-

Wet Drilling will be done with sharp drill bits.

Blasting will be done for breaking the hard strata & it will be proposed in

small scale with low charge.

Green belt development will be done periphery of the lease area to

control dust pollution.

Periodic air quality monitoring will be carried out to ensure that the

concentration of pollutants is within prescribed limits.

B. Prevention and Control of Gaseous Pollution

Proper maintenance of machine will be done, which minimizes the pollutants.

10.3 NOISE & GROUND VIBRATION MITIGATION

10.3.1 Noise Abatement and Control

Proper maintenance of all machineries carried out which will be help in reducing

generation of noise during operations.

Workers exposed to high noise levels provided with ear muffs/plugs & will be

persuaded to use the same.

Adequate silencers will be provided in all the diesel engines.

Green belt will be developed around the lease boundary to minimize noise

propagation.

Periodic noise level monitoring will be done.

10.4 WATER MANAGEMENT

10.4.1 Surface Water Management

There is no water body exists within the lease area.

Garland drains will be provided around the working pits.

Draft EIA/EMP Report

Shri Rakesh Kumar Choudhary 125

At the end of life of mine 7.70 ha. ha which will be converted into Replenished

area.

There will be any impact on surface water.

10.4.2 Ground Water Management

Mining in the area will be above ground water table. The water table range from

285.896 m RL – 283.210 mRL, while ultimate working depth 1.0 mtr.

There will be no toxic element in the mined-out material, which may contaminate

ground/ surface water.

There will be no significant impact on groundwater resources of buffer zone

envisaged due to mining activity, as it is confined to a proposed mining area and

above water table.

10.4.3 Waste Water Management

No waste water will be generated during the mining activities.

Domestic sewage water generated from rest shelter disposed in soak pits.

10.4.3.1 Water Conservation Measures

Optimum utilization of ground water

Initially, Water for drinking purpose, mining work, spraying and for plantation

will be purchased from nearby villages. But later on, when the mine sump will

be developed, rain water accumulated in sump is being used for dust

suppression, plantation etc.

Water Recycling – In this mine, recycling of water will not be possible, as no

waste water treatment is proposed.

10.5 Solid Waste Management

No waste will be generated.

10.6 LAND ENVIRONMENT

10.6.1 Reclamation Plan for Land

At the conceptual stage total excavated area will be 7.70 ha which will be converted

into Replenished area, 1.16 Ha. area will be undisturbed area (buffer zone). 2.92 Ha.

plantation will be done outside the lease area, which will be equivalent to 33 % of the

10.8 GREENBELT DEVELOPMENT & PLANTATION PROGRAMME

Green belt development programme will be designed within the natural constraints

of the site and in particular species selection reflects flora known to be resistant to

the local conditions. A Greenbelt development is necessary for:

1. Landscaping and providing shelter.

2. Surface air purification by providing oxygen and letting SPM to settle on the

leaves.

3. To attenuate noise generation by movement of vehicles and other machinery.

4. To check soil erosion.

5. At the conceptual stage total excavated area will be 7.70 ha which will be

converted into Replenished area, 1.16 Ha. area will be undisturbed area (buffer

zone). 2.92 Ha. plantation will be done outside the lease area, which will be

equivalent to 33 % of the lease area., which will be equivalent to 33 % of the

lease area.

The plant species will be selected in consultation with forest department.

The following characteristics will be taken into consideration while selecting plant

species for green belt development and tree plantation.

I. They should be local indigenous and drought resistant species.

II. They should be fast growing and tall trees.

10.8.2 General Guidelines for Green Belt Development

i. Trees growing up to 5 m. or more in height will be planted around the

installation.

ii. Plantation of trees will be done outside the lease periphery.

iii. Trees will be planted along roadsides, to arrest auto-exhaust and noise

pollution, and in such a way that there is no direct line of sight to the mine

when viewed from a point outside the foliage perimeter.

In order to facilitate the proper growth of vegetation, limited measures involving

preparation of seedbed with suitable amount of fertilizers and treatment with

mulches will be taken. The topsoil will be used for green belt development /

plantation.

Vegetation covers in and around the mine workings generally helps in:

Stabilizing erodible slopes to minimize pollution.

Control of dust.

Enhancement of aesthetic value.

Maximizing evapo-transpiration, which helps minimizing run off.

Reducing noise.

For revegetation, the plants and saplings suitable for the existing soils and site

conditions may be considered. It is recommended to plant fast growing local species,

which can adapt to the local climate.

This will be done in consultation with local government horticulturist.

10.9 CORPORATE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

Better education facilities, proper health care, road infrastructure and drinking water

facilities will be basic social amenities for standard of living for any human being

project proponent will provide basic facilities in the area. Details of Proposed CER

plan is given in Chapter- VIII, table no. 8.1, Page no. 118-121

10.10 INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE, OCCUPATIONAL HAZARDS AND SAFETY

The clirnrte of Rupnagar Distrid ls chancterhed by its genenl dryness (except in the south-

west monsosr season), a hot summer and a bncing cold winter. The year may be divided into

four seasons. Thc period from about middle of Novernber to February is the cold season. This is

followed bry the summer season from March to about the end of June. The south'west

tnonsoon ieason oommenoes hte in June and continues up to about middle of September. The

period from mid September to the middle of November constitute the post-monsoon or

transition season. The tempenture Gnges from minimum of 4' C in winter to 45' C in summer.

May and Jun€ are genenlly honest months and December and January are the coldest months.

Rehtive humidity is high, avenging about 70 percent during monsoon. The average annual

rain'l"all in district b 775.6 mm. About 78 percent of the annual ninfull is received during the

period frorn June to S€ptember. The soils of the Oistrlct vary in texture generally from loam to

silty clay loam except along the Sutlej River and choes where some sandy patches may be

found. Chamkaur Sahib and (harar block have sodic soils. The soils of Anandpur Sahib and

Rupnagar blocls are undulating.

2. Overvlew of Mlnlng Acdvlty in the DlsEict

Rupnagar district hoHs a distinA place in the state with respect to strategic geographical

position in the state and the availability of minor mineral resources from the bed of River Sutlej,

Sirsa and Soan. The presences of minor mineral are suitable for mining. Mining of sand/gravel is

being done sinca long time therefore no specific method of exploration is required as the

sand/6ravel, deposited all along the bed is very well exposed on surface moreover, the

excavated minanh are accrmulated/replenished every year during rainy season by flow of

water dependlng on intensity of rains on the upstream side . Adequate quantity of sand/gravel

in reserved is available for meeting consumer demand. ln district Rupnagar 16 quarry of

sandlgravel are wo*ing in Oyapur, Bhallan, Pllasi, Sureywal, Kiratpur, Ailgran, Harsabela,

Nangnn, Raipr Saini, Bhallari, Chandpur, Baihara, Lodhipur, Majri Sarsa, Swara, Bela Ramgarh

and 02 are under process for getting environment clearance.

Mainly three types of Minor Minerals constituents such as Stone Bajri are required for any type

of construction apart from other material like cement and steel. ln the earlier time the mud

houses/buildings wrre constructed with the use of mud. However with the passage of time,

new techniques of development activities were started. As such the demand of Minor Mineral

started on an lncreasing trend. lh order to meet the requirement of raw material for

construction, the ertraction of sand carried out manually / semi- mechanized process from the

river beds .'Ihe local residents used to lift sand etc. from the river beds to meet out their

bonafide requiremenL However after coming into belng the Punjab Minor Mineral rules 1964,

and amended rules in 2013. The mining is regulated in accordance with the rules.

Apart from the aborre mining operations, mining of brick earth and ordinary earth is also carried

out at many areas of the district which requires digging earth only up to a certain depth of 1 m

to 1.5 m by individual brick kiln owne6. As Punjab is primarily an agricultural state and land is

scarce thus many smalfmarginal farmers give their land on lease for mining of brick earlhl

ordinary errth and same is restored as early as possible after mining to make it fit for

agricultural purpo*s.

6. Process of Deposition of Sediments in the rivers of tlo Dictrict

l* Distrirt Rupnagar water action is perhaps the only agency respon$ble for erosion,

transportstion and deposition of sand/gravel and aggregates. The rive rr are the most important

source of sandlgravel in the district. Sutlej, Sirsa snd Soan stream are the source of sand/gravel

and tssociated aggregater in the District Rupnagar. The passage of these riven ln distrirt is

initially through sandy and clay stone gravel rich terrain, where erosion of country rocks and

transponation may be high but may result in the sand/gravel formatlon. lt is the lower

Himalaya and Shiwalik terrains which produce bulk quantity of sand/gnvel and associated

asgregates. Thus, geology plays a major role. They coupled with minei"al compasirior

sandstone; comprises essentially brownish-yellow and of grayish green medium to

grained hard compact sandstone with sub coordinated yellowish green and purple shale

scorerl bases and cobbles within the sandstone. lts basal part is dominated by fla8&y,

sandstones. fhe sandstone$ are generally coarser grained and more.rn icaceous " Thit lithnlagyI

h rclat*d to development to a large floodplain that shows a number of split channels.

Depositirn of muhistoried sandstones is associated to rapid change of slope {as evidenced by

scouring), deepening of base level and cutting into older formations (evidenced by presence of

cobblec and pebblcs of older fomration in sandstones. The boulder conglomerate formation of

upper Shiwalik mnAining boulders, pebbles and cobbles of granites, quartzites, slates and

limestone. The procxs of sand /gravelformatlon. Moreover, climatic conditions, waterload and

vebcity of river and ninfall have a vital role in the entire process of transportation and

d eposition of sa nd/g ravel a nd associated a ggregates.

" ln order to calculate the mineral deposits in the stream beds, the mineral constituents have

been categorized as clay, silt, sand, bajri and boulder. Howeyer during present calculation, the

wastB material i.e., silt which vary from 10 to 2S6 in different strearns has also been included in

the total production. Further, the Survey of lndia Topo-sheets is used as base map to know the

enent of river counte. The minenl reseryes have been calculated only up to 1.00 m depth

ahhough therp are some portions in the river beds such as channel bars, point bars and central

islards where the annual deposition is raising the level of river bed thus causing shifting of the

river: towards banks resulting in to cutting of banks and at such locations, removal of this

material up lo the bed level is essential to control the river flow in its central part to check the

bank cutting. While calculating the mineral potentials, the mineral deposits lying in the sub-

tributaries of that particular stream/river has not been taken into consideration. Since these

mineral deposits are adding annually to the main river, the mineral deposits will be much more^

Energy, environment and time are the three factors which determine the process of deposition

by sreams. Thus, when enerBy decreases to transport the load {by reduction in velocity or

volume of waterl, a part of material can no longer be transported and hence deposited.

Sirnilarly, the ftctor of environment influences the deposition through configuration or shape of

the channel. Uneven surface ofthe channel check the velocity and hence cause deposition. The

tim* factor actually op€rates through the above two factors. Thus, when a stream would

perform the act of deposition may be explained by a statement like, whenever and wherever its

vehcity b apprechbil checked. The deposits that are laid down by running water are called

allwial, ffwhl or ffwiatile deposits. They all vary greatly in size, shape and mode of origin.

late of PunJab forms a part of lndo-Gangetic alluvial plain and is composed of sediments of

shir"rahk hills and Himarayas brought down and raid by the rivers of rndus system,

The *tate can be divided into the foilowing major physiographic units:

$iwalik hills

Piedmont plain

The siwalik Hills in the north-east are steeply slbping. Numbers of choes originate in theShiuralik lone and drain the excess storm water. The shiwalik hills occupy nearly 2.6 per centarea o{the state and coyersizeable area of Gurdaspur, Hoshiarpur, S.B.S, Nagar, Rupnagar and5'A$ Nagar districts of the state. The hiils have dense to open scrub forest.

thtsc sedimen$ ane depusited in the form of alluvlalfans at the foot hills and finer fractions are

depositad rling the choes within the piedmont area.

Tht flood phins of Ravi, Beas, Sutlej and Ghaggar rivers and many seasonal rivulets cover nearly

10.0 per cent anea of the state. The flood plain soils are young and stntlfied without appreciable

attention of sediments. The continuous eroslon cum deposition keeps the soils young as time

bemrnes r limiting factor for the consolidation of sediments into pedogenic horizons. The

palaeochrnnets are believed to be the remanants of the old active channels. The origin of these

chrnnels may be due to the frequent changes in the courses of Ravi, Beas, Sutlej and Ghaggar

rivers ard thelr tributaries, which became defunct and silted up. These areas occupy a low'lying

topognphh position on the landscape.

The district ls situated in the east-central peripheral parts of Punjab; Rupnagar is one of the

smallast districts in the state. The district displays the Breatest physiographic diversity.

Consistent with tnnsitional location between the outer Himalayas and the Puniab plains, the

district has r whole rante of physiographic features which has made its impact on the

characteristics of the human landscape of this region. on the basis of relief, slope, drainage and

overlain material, the district may be divided into following five physiographic units;

r The AnandPur Dun

r The HillY tracts

r The Foothill Dissected Plain

r The UPland Plain

r 'ltre FloodPtain of the Sutlei

Based on the physiognphy, the area can be divided lnto 4 un.ru.siwalik Hills,

11. Geologyand Mineral Wealth "

Based on geomorphology the entire district can be grouped lnto 4 units such as Siwalik Hills,

lntermontane valley, alluvial fan and alluvial plain. The Siwalik Hills separates the main

Himalayan ranges from the lndo-Gangetic alluvial plain. The area is highly dissected and has an

uneven topognphy. Adjacent to the hills is a long nanow intermontane valley, which extends

from Nangal to Ropar trending northwest to southeast. Anandpur Sahib tehsil of the district lies

in the intermontane valley and occupies a lenglh of 40 km. The average width of the valley in

the district ls 5 km. Sutlej River and its tributaries drain this valley. Adjacent to this is the alluvial

fan which forms the tnnsitional area between the alluvial plains and hilly area of Himalayan

foot hills. The coarse sediments brought down by hill tonents forms the alluvial fan deposits.

These alluvial fans coalesced to form Kandi and Sirowal formation. The southern part of the

district is mainly alluvial plain, which forms a part of vast lndo€angetic alluvail plain.

Two types of soils are found in the district-firstly Reddish chestnut soils which is seen in the

northeastern part of the district, particularly in the Ropar and Anandpur Sahib blocks. These

soils are loam to clay-loam in nature and decalcified and secondaly Tropical Arid Brown soits

(Weakly Solonized) are mainly found in rest of the area which is mainly calcareous sandy loam.

The soils of the district vary in texture generally from loam to silty clay loam except along the

Sutlej River and chos (seasonal canals) where some sandy patches may be found. Chamkaur

Sahib and Morinda blocks have sodic soils.

Explora on

Mining of sand/gnvel is being done since long times therefore no specific method of

exploration is required as the sand/gravel, deposited all along the bed is very well exposed on

the surface. Moreover the excavated minerals are accumulated /replenished every year during

rainy season by flow of water depending on the intensity of rains on the upstream side.

Geological Reserves have been taken as 90% of in-situ reserves considering voids, gangue,

accounting errors etc. which may occur within the deposit.

3.1 Physiography

The allotted mine lease area is a river bed with gentle slope from NW to SE.

There are surface area in found mixed with rjver Boulder, Gravel and sand. The

gencral topography of the area is gsntly sloping with drainage pattem of the river

Sutlej, it is floodplain area, There is highest 285.896mRL& lowest 283.210mRL. The

Sutlej River is carrying out sediment loads from the plains,

There is no protected or reseryed forest in and around the allotted area. There

is no habitation within allotted area.

3.2 Climate

The district receives normal annual rainfall af 776 mm, which was spread over 4l

days. 78% of the annual rainfall is conbibuted by southwest monsoon. Geuerally,

rainfall increases fl'om southwest to norJheastem part of the district. The climate of the

diskict can be classified as tropical steppe hot and semi-arid type.

3.3 Geology

3.5 Deposition of Minerals in River Bed: -

r Running water is the most imirodant agcnt of erosion on the continents and the

skeam valleys are the most common landforms.

r River gradually rnoulds the land by eroding away the material in some place

and depositing it in other placc.

r A nver system consists of a n:ain channel (trunk stream) and all of the tributar:ies

that flow into it or joining the trunk stream.

3.6 GEOMORPIIOLOGY AND DRAINAGE PATTERN: -

The entire district can bo grouped into 4 units such as Siwalik Hills, Intermontane

valley, alluvial fan and alluvial plain, The Siwalik Hills separates the main Himalayan

ranges frorn the Indo-Gangetic alluvial plain. lte area is highly dissected and has an

uneven topography. Adjaccnt to the hills is a long narrow intennontane valley, which

extends from Nangal to Ropar(Rupnagar)(Rupnagar) trending northwest to southeast.

Anandpur Sahib tehsil of the district lies in the internrontane valley and occupies a

length of 40 km. The averagc width of thc valley in the district is 5 km. Sutlej River

and its tributaries drain this valley. Adjacent to this is the alluvial fan which forms the

trausitional area between the alluvial plains and hitly area of Ilimalayan foot hills. "fhe

coarse sediments brought down by hill torrents forms the alluvial fan depo.sits. lhese

alluvial fh.ns coalcsccd to form Kandi and Sirorval formation. The southem part of the

district is mainly alluvial plain, which fonns a part of vast Indo-Gangeticalluvail plain.

3.7 DETAILS OF EXPLORAI]TON

(A) ALREADY CARRIED OUT IN THE AREA

The exploration of mineral fuver Bcd Material [Gravel(minor mineral)] has been

canied out by the Department of Mines and Geology, Punjab. The river borne

sediments are deposited all along the Soun riverbed and are very well exposed on the

surface. Moreover, thesc sedirnenls are accumulated every ycar during rainy season

dcpcnding on the intcnsity of Rain/G ctivity. Aocordingly. the statc govt. has

(B) PROPOSED TO BE CARRIED OIIT

T'he rnineral sand is exposed all along the Soan river bed, so there is no need of

further exploration in this area. Also as per the condition of LOt there should be no

excavation below 3 meter from flre un- rnined bed tevel aL any point, so no ftlrther

exploration is proposed.

3.8RDSER!'E ESTIMATI ON:-

For estirnating the reserve of Itiver Bed Material [Gravel (Minor Mineral)] the

following paramcters are considercd as fallow:-

a) 'I'he reserves are calculated on the basis of the established width, thickness and

strike/influence of the mineralized formation in the area.

b) The entire reserve of River Bed Materjal [Gravel fMinor Mineral)] upto ttre

depth of 3 meter are calculated.

c) The Mineable area has been considered with an [Jltimate depth of 3 meter (for

river bed) for the calculation of the l'eserve. It is considered by Joint Inspection

Commiftce (JIC Report cnclose as Annexure-9).

The tonnage estimation, the reserve quanrity is multiplied with the bulk density of

l.Stonnes per cum For River Bed Material [Gravel(Minor Minsral)]) as pel Lab report

(Lab Report enclose as Annexure-6).

d) Reserve has becn estimated considcring the lsvel of Red linc after conducting

fresh topographical survey by DGPS. Original grountl level established is based on

DGPS survey which is correlated with the data (RL) provided in Red line map by

competent authority. (Red Line Map Enclose as Platc No. - 9).

e) Neither Mineable reservc estimated below the Red line level nor proposal for

excavation made below the Rcd line lcvel.(As per the Sustainable Saud Mining

Guideline 2016.)

PROPOSED PRODUCTION

The mineable reserve estimated within the mining lease area is 6399lMT (as per current

Topographical DGPS Survey).However, depending upon the annual replenishment of the

mineral the quantification of mineable reserve may be reduced or increased accordingly.

A) BALAI\CE RtrSEYERS

For balance reserves it is presumed that the mineral will be replenished every year during

the rainy season. River bed material [Gravel (Minor Mineral)] will be added every year in

the river bed. Thus quantification of mineable reserve may be reduced or increased

accordingly.

Life of mine: - As river bed material deposition is a continuous prosess depending on

the onset of monsoon / rainfall & the mineral reserye will be replenished every year

hence life of mine cannot be computed.

CHAPTER.4

MBTTIOD OF MINING

4.1 Present Method of Mining: -

It is a case of fresh grant of lease. The actual mining will be allowed to be commenced

only after Environment Clearance is obtained by the LOI holder as per the consent

letter, dated- 3110712019. Presently, no mining is carried out by the LOI holder in the

allotted area.

4,2 PROPOSED RATE OF PRODUCTION WHEN MINE IS FULLY

DEVELOPED:

The required rate of production is around 6399lMT of mineral. The required target is

planned & will be achieved during each year & maintained thereafter.

4.3 MINERAL RESERVE AND ANTICIPATED LII'E OF MINE: -

The area for the mining of River Bed Material [Gravel (Minor Mineral)] has been

concession for a period of 3 years from the date of registration. Accordingly, the

annual production targets have been planned, which will be 6399lMTlannum. For the

next three years.

. The cstimated mineable reserve is 63991MT and the proposed production is in line

with the annual concession quantity allowed to the mine from the block-l, araa-

8. 86(Ha) vill age-Mahindpur, Tahsil- Sri Chamkor Sahib, District-Ropar.

4,4 PROPOSED METIIOD OF MINING: .

a. Mining will be done by deplolng earthmovers like excavator, Backhoe loaders for

loading of mineral into trucks, tippers and tractor/holleys.

b. Mining will be restricted within the central 3/4th width of the river.

Manual excavation will be carried out where evpr the channel width is less than

478mtrs

c. The slope is maintained at 45o liom the horizontal width & bench height has been

taken 3 meter. Mining operation will be restricted to 3 meter.

d. No working shall be made within a distancs of 7.5 meter of the lease boundary as

required under MMR 1961 and no mining operation shall be carried out of any point

within 75 meter of railway line or 60 meter from National Highway or 50 meter foom

H.T Line any public works, reservoirs, tank, canal, public roads and buildings or

inhabited or l0 meter of outer edge of any village road.

e. No mining shall be carried out 478 meter in side and 500 meter outside of the flood

protecting bandh of Major River and No mining shall be carried out within 500rn on

the upper side and lower side of the high level bridge on the rivers. Similarly no

mining shall be carried out within 250 rneter of upper side and lower side of other

bridges.

f. When the mining will be canied out in the river bed, the LOI holder will intirnate it

7 days in advance to Chief Engineer, Drainage and cany out the operation such that it

doesn't affect the flow of river or damagc embanhnents and will ensure that sand

excavation is carried out strictly in accordance with advice of the Chief Engineer,

Drainage in this regard.

4.5 CONCEPTUAL MINING PLAN

Mine lease area will be worked in blocks for ease of operation. However, as

the digging depth will be restricted to 3.0 meter only, material will still be available

below. This will be further replenished during rainy season. Blocks will be worked

systanatically as the width is lirnited while length is much more. Sequence of working

has been shown on Plate no. - 6 of Development plan. As the lease period is only 3

years, some of the area will be left un-worked at the end of lease period.

4.6 ULTIMATE PIT LIMITS: .

It is proposed to work the deposit up to the depth of 3 meter from the surface.

Accordingly, the Ultimate Pit Limit has been drawn up to the 284.1rnRL (refer Plate No. 3),

which will be above the limit of the mineral reserve considered.

4.? EXTENT OF MECHANIZATION

At present no mining is carried out in the allotted area so there is no machinery

deployed for mining operations. To achieve the desired production, as proposed in the

3 years mining plan period, the machinery is proposed to be deployed. No

rninaral hcncficiation will be carried

(i) Storage & Preservation oftop soil

Thcre is no top soil in tho arca, so, there is no proposal for storage & preservation of

top soil. : "..

(ii) Year wise proposal for reclamation of land affected

during and at the end of mining

The proposed 3 ycars rmining is for RiverBed Matcrial [Cra

Thus, 0.97hectare of the area has to be covered under plantation every year.

Considering 50 trees per hectare as a tree density, the applicant will plant 49 trees per

year. The survival rate is 80%. The dead plants will be replaced by fresh plants in next

year and l2trees as replacement fiom second year. From first to third year Z,92hectare

area will be planted within the lease hold area & from third year onwards plantation

will be carried out in the nearby school, hospital, police station, community center&

other public utility places. Thus, 2.92hectarc of the area has to be covered under

CHECK NOISE POLLUTION

No sound pollution will be caused by above source, as the sound generated

will be kept within permissible limit.

(vi) STABILISATION AND VEGETA'I'ION OF DUMPS

There will be no waste generation from the proposed mining of River Bed

material [Gravel (Minor Mineral)], so stabilization of waste will not be required. Top

soil is also not there in the allotted area.

(vii) TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL OF WATER FROM MINE AI\IDBENEFICIATION PLANT

The proposed mine workings will be above the ground water table thus no

measures will be required.

(viir) MEASURES FOR MINIMISING ADVERSE EFFECTS ON WATERREGIME

No impact will take place due to proposed rnining activities on water quality

also neither the mineral nor any toxic substance will be discharged to the ground

water. The proposed excavation will reach only up to 3 m from the surface level, so it

will be much above from water table. Hence no measures will be required

(ix) AFFORESTATION OF TAILING PONDS

As there is no beneficiation so tailing ponds are not proposed,

tailing ponds will not be required.

(x) PREPARATION OF DUMPING GROUND FOR ST

MINERAL SUBSTANCE

There will be no generation of toxic substances, due to the proposed mining.

So, neither the rnineral nor any waste will require durnping ground for stacking the

toxic mineral / substance.

Post Plantation Care:

(i) Protection from Grazing

Protection from grazing will be done by erecting suitable boundary in the

plantation area. As such in this area lessee will erect stonewall. This will protect

July and thrice a week from September to February by water tankerlOver head tank in

the plantation area. Thereafter each year watering will be done alternate day frorn

January to June and once in 3 day Septernber to February. After 3 years no watering

will be required.

(iii) Manuring

The manuring will be done while plantation work is taken up, for this

pu{pose cattle dung will be dumped in the area that has chosen for plantation. No

other manuring is required for the proposed plantation

(iv) Protection.from pest like white ant etc. will be done during the plantation and

inthe proposed pit l0gms of BSC powder will be given before plantation. After a

few months liquid pesticide mixed with 375 times water will be spread near the

planted sapling.

(v) Replenishment of Casualties saplings

The loss of each year will be counted and in subsequent plantation casualties

4;1 Mined out land

This area is fresh applied area so mining activities will take place subsequently that is

after the registration of Mining Lease then only this can be taken out. By proposed

mine planning, the limits of Pits average 3m depth at the end of three year as shown

on Year wise development plan of the area (Plate 5).

4.2 Water Quality Management

Mining operation is carried out when thc river bed is partially dry; hence impaot of

Mining on surface water will not take place. Cround water table is not going to be

touched; hence there will also be no impact on ground water. More details will be

given in chapter l2 of Mining plan.

4.3 Air Quality management

Mining operation is of small scale so air pollution due to dust will be negligible.

4.4 Waste management

No Waste generated during the rnining operation.

4.5 Top Soil Management

There is no soil cover over proposed area of rnining in next 3 years, so no arangement

for stacking is to be required. Any incidental soil encountered will be used for

plantation sim ultaneously.

4.6 Infrastructure

S.T.D. and Telephone facility are available at Mahindpur from Proposed mine site.

Educational facility is available up to Senior Secondary school level at

Ropar(Rupnagar).

4.7 Disposal of Mining Machinery

Machinery used for mining having more life than life of mine. Applicant will seek

more leases for rnining; hence, disposal of mining machinery will not arise.

4.8 Safety & Security

Details are given in chapter l3 of Mining Plan.

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

action after the disaster which limits the darnage to the mininlum.

Neveftheless, the following natural/industrial prohlems may be encountered during the

mining operation.

./ Inundation- filling of the mine pit due to excessive rains.

,/ Accident due to fire.

/ Accidents due to use of machinery

{ Health hazmd

./ Environmental hazard

As per proposal made under the mining plan, during proposcd working fhe area will

be developed by means of Semi rnechanizcd opencast method. Exploitation and

transportation of minerals are to be canied out by mechanized means. Bench height &

width is maintained at 3m. The Ground Water table is irt 3 to I lm below the surfacc

depending upon the relief of areas. (Source : CGWA Report Ropar). Present RL of the

working pit is about 285.97mRL to 284.lmRL. Thercfbre no groundwater table is

going to be encountered due to mining activity. Therefore no groundwater table is

going to be touched due to mining activity. The impact of mining on ground water is

not anticipated; therefbre measures are not required. No high risk accidents like

landslides, subsidence etc. havc bcen apprehended.

Butpossibility of accidental disaster is also not ruled out. Thereftxe, all thc statulury

DISASTER DUE TO FIRE

No surface fire is anticipated in the mining operation. In case of forest, fire may result

due to dry leaves and wood in vegetated part and result in a disaster. In the area under

reference, there is no such situation and there is no danger of forests fire. No oil,

grease, canvas or other inflammable material will be stored in mine except in a fire-

proofreceptacle.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE DURING TEMPORARY DISCONTINANCE

During the temporary discontinuance of mine, notice (Reg,6 of MMR, 1961) will be

sent to Director of mines Safety. Notice will he accompanied with plan & Sections.

All precautionary steps will be takcn into account in respect of care and maintenance.

DISASTER PREVENTION MEASURES

In order to take care of above hazard / disasters the following control measures have

been envisaged

1. Entry of unauthorized persons will be prohibited.

2. Firefighting and first aid provision shall be kept in the mines office complex

and mining area,

3. Safety equipment such as safety boots, helmets, goggles etc. will be made

available to the employees and regular checked for their use.

4. Training and refresher courses for all the employees working in the mine.

5. Working of mine as per approved plan and regularly updating the mine plans.

6. Regular maintenance and testing of all mining equipment. as per manufacture's

guidelines.

7. Suppression ofdust on the haulage roads.

8. Increasing the awareness of safe practices through competitions, posters and

other similar drive,

As precautionary measures before onset of monsoon, the floors of different
