N. KUMARCHAIRMAN-CUM MANAGING DIRECTOR
BHARAT COKING COAL LIMITED
FROM THE CHAIRMAN's DESK
Greetings !!!!
The financial year 2015-2016 has ended and has ended well. BCCL
achieved its production target
and at the same time it has been one of the foremost
subsidiaries of CIL in improving the
environment. Achieving these targets inspires us to take BCCL to
newer heights. The environment
department of BCCL has been doing good work and it really makes
me happy to see their work
reflect positivity on BCCL's image.
There is still a long way to go and I am glad that BCCL is
taking all the initiatives to garner the
technological changes. Digitization of mining and the
forest/ecologically restored land is underway
which will enhance the company's credibility globally, making us
at par with the technologically
developed industries. Surplus mine water utilization is another
arena where BCCL's environment
department is working earnestly and the day is not far when
every drop of water will be gainfully
utilized by BCCL and provided to the surrounding water scarce
areas. Care is being taken for proper
preparation and implementation of the Mine Closure Plan wherein
attention is being given to all the
facets of mine closure.
We are moving ahead on the right track. It goes without doubt
that the success of BCCL as a company
dedicated to mining & environment will depend upon each one
of our work & contribution. This
company stands on the hard work of each of its employee and it
will reach greater heights only
through sheer hard work & dedication.
I wish you all a very HAPPY LABOR DAY and hope that each one of
you continue to play your part
in the growth story of BCCL.!

FROM THE DIRECTOR'S DESK
Way back in September 2015 ParyavaranDarpan started as an idea
and today it is on the journey to the third edition. Appreciation
has been pouring in from all quarters on the success of this
newsletter. I congratulate the environment team of BCCL for this
initiative.To see this fledging grow fills me with a deep sense of
contentment & pride. As I always say
BCCL has been redefining the perception of mining. Earlier
mining meant coal extraction but today mining means extracting the
coal with due care of Mother Nature. I don't speak only about
myself but all the mining engineers working in BCCL. Rather than
flaunting the production figures, each area is now in a race to
have the best eco-restoration site. Environment along with
production has been the centre of discussion at all forums in the
closing month of 2015-2016. Sri Anil Swarup, Coal Secretary
(Government of India) visited Rajapur Open Cast Project's (ROCP)
Ecological Restoration Site at Bastacolla Area and appreciated the
ecological restoration of fire affected area by BCCL. His
appreciation is no less than a gold medal for us.
Meeting the environment compliances, had this been our sole
motive then things wouldn't have shaped up so well. It is rather
the commitment and promise of BCCL to give more than what it has
taken that motivates us to work for the environment.
wish you all a very happy labor day. May we all be destined to
do true labor and contribute to the growth of our Nation.
Lord Krishna told Arjuna
Perform your bounden duty, for action is superior to inaction
and even the maintenance of the body would not be possible for you
by inaction!The above word of Lord Krishna was a message to all.
Working and working earnestly is very important. Our labor should
be a source of joy & happiness to others. I take this
opportunity to

Paryavaran Darpan Vol 1 Issue 3 1
The Earth houses more than 6 billion human beings and each one
of us has been endowed with the faculty of making choices. Most of
us feel pretty comfortable making the choices that are necessary to
live our lives without taking in cognizance their effect on the
cosmos.It is often more difficult, however, when it is up to
society to make choices. We often feel we don't know enough to make
the choice, and it sometimes feels as though we are making choices
for other people and most of the time we shirk from taking the
responsibility of making a choice. It is rather the indecision
which harms more than wrong decision and choice.Today we have to
make a choice and mind my friends it is not a choice between
development and environment but a choice between senseless
development and sustainable development. We Indians have a habit of
looking up to the western world as the epitome of development,
copying their glass buildings and concrete jungle. Following the
western notion of development, somewhere we have lost the whole
essence of development. A few days ago, news was flashing about
scientists in Hong Kong developing leak proof leaf bowls to replace
foam containers. Well, we Indians had the tradition of using leaf
as plates and bowls which we discarded in the name of development.
The same goes for the Earthen Kulhar replaced by plastic cups and
Earthen Surahi being replaced by refrigerators. In the race to be
developed we have already destroyed what was sustainable.Very small
changes in our choices will have far reaching impact on our mother
nature. If we gift plant saplings instead of gifting flowers on any
occasion, then imagine the greenery on our planet, even if 30% of
the saplings survive. Bhutan may be a very poor country but their
celebration of the birth of their prince by planting 1,08,000
saplings is one of the most expensive gift they have given to the
world.A time has come to revisit and redefine our choices. Maybe a
time has come to undo the senseless development and usher into an
era of sustainable development. A time has come to choose again and
act wisely. It is upto us whether we want a burning world or a
greener world-THE CHOICE IS OURS!!!We wish you all a very happy
labor day and hope that all our labor result into a beautiful green
world.

Inception of logical Restoration in BCCL Part-1
Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL),A Mini Ratna Company (A
Subsidiary of Coal India
Ltd.), Government of India undertaking, is the major coal mining
company and only producer
of prime coking coal in India. A long history of more than 125
years of coal mining also
includes the history of damage to its land and environment.
Prior to nationalization of coal
mines, JCF was in the hands of private mine owners until it was
nationalized by the
Government of India in 1971-73. The mining methods then were, by
and large unscientific
compared to the present day technology. Mining was carried out
with the sole motto of profit
making and 'more hole, more coal' without any regard to safety,
conservation and
environment. Such type of 'slaughter mining' and un-systematic
mining over a long period
resulted in change of the original land-use and severe land
degradation in the form of quarries,
subsidence depressions, coal mine fires, spoil dumps, loss of
soil, original topography as well
as drainage pattern.
Biological reclamation of degraded mining land by way of
plantation was the first effort of
BCCL to tackle land degradation. Large scale afforestation
program was started by BCCL in
1986. The plantation has been done through State Forest
Department of Bihar/ Jharkhand,
and that of West Bengal.
The forest department has done plantation with mono culture
single tier species or with only
few common species, which are fast growing but not suitable for
ecological restoration.
These plantation sites do not attract fauna and birds,
micro-organisms etc. The canopy of
mono-culture plants as such is green, but hardly with any ground
cover vegetation. Soil is
almost naked subject to erosion, sterile without much microbial
activity. Bio-diversity is
either insignificant or absent. OBDs were invaded by some of the
worst weeds of the region
and these include Chromalaenasp., Partheniumhysterophorus,
Hyptissuaveolens, besides
Lantana camara, Croton bonplandianumand other noxious weeds such
as Xanthium
strumarium. There is no grass cover, litter fall or native trees
on the OBDs

MoU for preparing Road map for ecological restoration of BCCL
mine areas
To resolve the issues which were not addressed by mono-culture
single tier plantation and to
restore the biodiversity, BCCL approached Forest Research
Institute (FRI), Dehradun for
preparing Road map for ecological restoration of BCCL mine
areas. Establishing
biodiversity in a barren mined out degraded land is a highly
technical job, and BCCL wasn't
having such expertise. An expert team of scientists from FRI,
Dehradun visited Jharia
coalfield in March 2011 for conducting a 'Rapid Ecological
Appraisal' to develop the Road
Map for Eco-restoration of degraded mined out land/OB dumps of
BCCL. They interacted
with local people for assessing their needs and acceptability
for forestry. As per the FRI
experts, the prevailing practice of plantation being done in
BCCL was not ecologically
appropriate. BCCL have done plantation with mono culture single
tier species or with 3-4
species, which are fast growing, not suitable for
eco-restoration. These plant species do not
attract fauna, birds, micro-organisms etc. As per FRI's opinion,
plantation should be a 3-tier
method. The lower cover should constitute grasses which will
provide bio-mass to soil and
home to worms, insects and micro-organisms. The middle tier
shall be shrubs and the third
tier shall be trees. This 3-tier system will attract fauna,
birds and other organisms and will be
developed into full-fledged forest eco-system. Food chains will
be established by
inhabitation of different kinds of fauna on these ecologically
restored sites. The FRI team has
expressed that though eco-restoration in a highly degraded area
like Jharia coalfield is a
challenging task but with proper scientific approach positive
results can be achieved and
much of the degraded land in the coalfield can be restored.

Expert appraisal survey team from FRI, Dehradun, March 2011
A MoU was signed between FRI and BCCL on 22nd Feb, 2011 for
preparation of a road map/
action plan for ecological restoration of BCCL
mine areas. The job had been done by Ecology
and Environment Division of Forest Research
Institute Dehradun and prepared a road map in July
2011. The road map includes soil working
methods, soil and moisture conservation
measures, and choice of ecologically and socio-
economically viable plant species, methods of
preparation of seed mix, methods of seeding and
planting for ecological restoration of degraded
mine areas and nursery development. The Road
map recommended for ecological restoration of
about 226 ha. of mined out degraded land over a
period of 10 years, including development of a
model restoration plantation at one of the BCCL's
overburden dump site by FRI. Other objectives
being, awareness and capacity building initiatives;
intensification of the availability of fuel wood, fodder,
grasses and other forest usufructs from the
restored areas; securing people's participation in planning and
restoration efforts in the
surrounding villages to ensure sustainability. Further, FRI,
Dehradun was roped in to develop a
model ecological restoration site over 8 Ha OB dump at Tetulmari
colliery, Sijua Area
Simultaneously, BCCL roped in Centre for Environmental
Management of Degraded
Ecosystems (CEMDE), Delhi University, a Centre of Excellence of
Ministry of Environment,

Forests and Climate Change, Government of India for guiding and
implementation of ecological
restoration of mined out and degraded lands of BCCL. An expert
team from MoEFCC had visited
BCCL mine sites in July 2011 for conducting a Rapid Ecological
Appraisal for strategizing
ecological restoration of mined out degraded lands of BCCL,
Prof. C R Babu, CEMDE selected 7
Ha site at Damoda colliery, Barora Area for developing model
ecological restoration site. There
was a scientific and logical reason for selecting the
DamudaGhutway OB dump site as a model for
ecological restoration. This OB dump is on the northern fringe
of Jharia Coalfield and also adjacent
to a natural forest which is beyond coal bearing area. The model
ecological restoration site can
visually be compared to the adjacent existing natural forest.
Therefore, through ecological
restoration of this dump by BCCL, it would be possible to
restore and replicate it similar to the
adjacent native forest, which is 3-storied and establish
biodiversity.

WASTE TO WEALTH: TURNING SOURCE OF POLLUTION
INTO SOURCE OF ENERGY
North India and, in particular, has its own version of this
public-health disaster unfolding
right now. Once winter sets in, the pollution levels across
Delhi are routinely more than 20
times above safe levels mandated by the World Health
Organization. In October and November,
farmers in and burn their fields as this is the cheapest and
easiest way to clear paddy
stubble after harvest. This practice has been steadily rising
since the advent of mechanized
harvesting in the mid 1980s. Due to this, Indian scientist and
industry have come together to set up a
plant that uses home grown technology that converts agricultural
refuse into a valuable bio fuel
resource. The technology developed by scientist from Institute
of Chemical Technology(ICT)
which is capable of converting any agricultural waste into ethyl
alcohol or bio-ethanol , which can
be converted into petrol to be used in vehicle as fuel. A plant
based on this technology is capable of
using 10 Tonnes of agricultural waste as a raw material every
day. This technology has several
advantages over similar second generation bio-ethanol
technology. It is also capable of using a
wide range of agricultural residues sugarcane bagasse, rice and
wheat straw etc. It yields bio-
ethanol in less than 24 hours and besides this, it is capable of
recycling 90 percent of enzymes and
water used by the plant. Farmers particularly in the Indo-
Gangetic Plain, where substantial
quantity of wheat and rice crops are produced, burn away most of
the agricultural residues, leading
to wastage of resources and also polluting the ambient air. As
this worsens the air quality in winter
due to weak winds in the region, the National Green Tribunal
recently banned the above burning.
Bio-Fuel is the only existing liquid alternative to fossil fuels
available at scale today and holds
potential to provide 30 percent of all transportation fuels by
2050. In fact, bio-fuels from waste and
agricultural residue can reduce emission by 80-90 percent
compared to gasoline (petrol). India has
a total of 600 million Tonnes of agricultural wastes available
annually. Out of this, only 15 percent
is currently used for fodder and firewood. Even if the country
can tap 50 percent of the total, 300
million Tonnes, nearly 100 billion liters of bio-ethanol can be
produced which can be used as
source of fuel in the vehicles.

somebody did it
DIGITIZATION
BCCL is in process to Digitize the
Surface Plans/Location Maps of all its
mines, which will aid the monitoring
of the reclamation work and Green-
Belt development in the mining areas.
Post completion, the maps can be
accessed through Google Maps.
MINE CLOSURE PLANFor the 22 non- producing mines,
Mine Closure Plans are being
prepared by RI-II, CMPDIL. A total
of 53 no. of Mine Closure Plans
have already been prepared and
approved by BCCL Board.
Action plan is being prepared
which incorporates the progressive
closure plan for producing as well
as non-producing mines, taking due
care of environment.
ISO COMPANY WIDEBCCL is presently having ISO 9001,
ISO 14001 & OHSAS 18001
certification in five units namely
Muraidih OCP, Block II OCP, Sinidih
Central Workshop, AKWMC OCP,
Moonidih U/G mines. However now
BCCL is going for companywide
Integrated Management System (IMS
integrating ISO 9001, ISO 14001 &
OHSAS 18001) certification. In this
regard corporate management policy
and manuals (Integrated Operational
Manual, Integrated Maintenance
manual & Integrated Management
Manual) have been prepared by
CMPDI & approved by competent
authority of BCCL. The process for
tendering of ISO Certification work,
to award the work to Certification
body is in process.
MINE WATER UTILIZATIONA scheme for complete mine water
utilization is being worked out
encompassing the survey of mines/
collieries from where water is being
pumped out and assessment of
inventory of quantity of water
discharged, treatment of mine water &
complete utilization (by BCCL & Non-
BCCL both).

WASTE TO WORTHWe decided to put some of the most creative and
useful ideas reusing plastic bottles. It is always important to
remember that a plastic bottle takes 700 years to start the
decomposition process and more than a century to
fully disappear in the environment. So, go green!
Use two plastic bottles to make canisters to store food as rice,
beans, noodles and sugar. You will need to cut the bottles in
different sizes: a longer one (to be the base) and a smaller one
(to be the cover) and fit them together.
Perfect for waiting rooms and offices this idea is
very creative. Cut the upper part of some plastic
bottles and nail them in a board (can be a piece of
wood or a metal bar). In offices this idea can work
as a mail organizer as well.
The bottom part of plastic bottles can be perfectly used as
snack bowls. Cut the bottom part of the bottle and use a clothes
iron to remove any imperfection (only press the edge gently against
the iron for some seconds). Use it to put small snacks
If you have a garden and like to have birds flying in it a good
idea is to place some feeders to attract them. You can make
creative birds feeder using plastic bottles.
You can easily transform a plastic bottle in a watering can. You
only need to make some holes on the cap using a nail and a
hammer.
