2.0 INTRODUCTION 2.1 Identification of project and project proponent

The proposed project is an opecast iron ore mine with a rated capacity of 0.15 MTPA and lease area of 78.90 Ha.

The project proponent is M/s Monnet Ispat & Energy Ltd., a public limited company incorporated under Company Act, 1956, and is engaged in the field of steel making since past several years. In order to make its


contribution for the increased requirement of steel in the country, it has increased its field of activity, by setting up an Integrated Steel Plant at Mandir Hasaud, near Raipur, Chhattisgarh.

2.2 Brief description of nature of the project The proposed Hahaladdi Iron ore mine will have a production of 0.15 MTPA.

It will be a new open cast mine spread over an area of 78.90 ha. It will have semi-mechanised & manual mining. The iron ore will be used in the Company’s steel plant in Raipur.

2.3 Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region

Need of the project: Iron ore extracted from the proposed mine will be used in the Company’s integrated steel plant at Mandir Hasaud, near Raipur. This Integrated Steel Plant has already commenced production by utilizing sponge grade iron which is at present being obtained from far off locations in Odisha and partly from Bailadila. However, the plant cannot sustain on this arrangement for long, both on account of high cost of transportation of iron ore as well as uncertainty and undependability of its supply. The company has therefore identified this small virgin iron ore deposit located on a hill after prospecting an area of 191.295 Ha for the reserves and grades available.

Importance to country and region: The commencement of mining

activities shall result in direct revenue to State and Central Government in the form of Royalty and Welfare Cess on iron. This will increase direct & indirect employment and industrial activity leading to Income Tax and more money circulation. With the overall rapid development of the country, demand for iron & steel has grown faster than anticipated. The existing steel plants can partially meet the current demand. Hence, it is being seen as an imperative that new plants be established in the state. Iron ore- the basic raw material for the iron and steel industry that is also used in ferro-manganese industries, paints, pigments and other allied industries, is available in a fairly large area in the state of Chhattisgarh, which ranks third among all the iron ore-producing states in India, contributes almost 20% of national iron ore reserves; 28% of India’s sponge iron production comes from Chhattisgarh.

Chhattisgarh State’s Mineral Policy, 2001 has created a conducive business

environment to attract private investment in State, both domestic & international. The added advantage is availability of large technically qualified human resources, having trained in tailor made programme in geology, geophysics, geochemistry, mineral beneficiation, mining engineering & environmental science. The State is ensuring a minimum lease area with secured land rights so that investors can safely commit large resources to mining projects.

The state is the most sought after location for the steel manufacturers. With

the unchecked rise of steel prices the steelmakers want mining leases in the


state. Chhattisgarh has located four new iron ore deposits with an estimated 71 million metric tonnes of finest quality reserves.

Chhattisgarh has good infrastructure facilities like roads, power, railway

network which makes it conducive for the establishment and growth of various industries. These industrial estates are close to major cities and provide basic physical and social infrastructure facilities to industrial units. To promote exports from the State, efforts will be made to set up "special economic zone", "agro export zone" and "air cargo complex". Efforts will also be made for upgradation of facilities in the existing "inland container depot". A dry port has been established at Urla in Raipur city, to facilitate movement of international trade cargo from the state.

2.4 Demand-supply gap Demand for Iron ore The country's iron ore imports rose to a record 6.76 million tonnes in the first

seven months of the current 2014-15 financial year as sliding global prices and limited supply in the domestic market pushed steel producers to buy the raw material overseas.

The country, which was once the world's third-largest supplier of iron ore,

has been importing over the last two years due to court-imposed restrictions aimed at curbing illegal mining in the key producing states of Karnataka and Goa. The shortage deepened in 2014 as some mines in Odisha and Jharkhand were ordered closed after the expiry of licences.

However, analysts say the country is unlikely to absorb a big chunk of the

global surplus that has halved iron ore prices in 2014. Source: http://businesstoday.intoday.in/story/india-iron-ore-import-2014-on-curbs-

demand-price-fall/1/213153.html 2.5 Imports vs. indigenous production Imports are not expected to impose a significant threat to domestic players

in future. There is no proposal. 2.6 Export possibility There will not be any export of iron ore. It will be used captively in

Company’s integrated steel plant in the state of Chhattisgarh.

2.7 Domestic / export markets Iron ore will be used captively in Company’s integrated steel plant in the

state of Chhattisgarh.


2.8 Employment generation (direct and indirect) Manpower will be required for statutory purposes, supervisory requirement

and also for manual loading. Manpower required for the purpose of statutory requirement will be part of total manpower which includes Mines Manager, Mining Engineer, Mining Mate etc.

Apart from the above skilled and unskilled labourers will be required for

blasting job and for manual loading to trucks or tippers. Following will be manpower requirement:

Mines Manager : 1 Mining Engineer : 1 Mines Foreman : 2 Mining Mate : 2 Supervisor : 4 Skilled workers : 20 Semi-skilled workers : 30 Unskilled workers : 80 Total 140 The OMS will be 3.5

The above manpower is considered assuming 300 working days in a year

and there will not be any extra manpower for development and other associated job.

3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION A brief description of the project is given in paragraph 2.1 and 2.2. 3.1 Type of Project including interlinked and interdependent projects Project not interlinked. It will serve as a raw material source to the existing

steel plant. 3.2 Location with coordinates The lease hold area forms a part of Survey of India Toposheet No. 64D/16. Latitude - 20°13'40" to 20°14'45" N Longitude - 80°53'15" to 80°54'00" E The location map and accessibility are given in Annexure I. 3.3 Details of alternate sites & Environmental considerations Mining being site specific, no alternatives site is under consideration.

Environmental considerations and protection measures assume greater importance for the project. M/s Monnet Ispat and Energy Limited shall ensure that the proposed activity causes no adverse impact on the area.


3.4 Size or magnitude of operation Applied mining lease area is 78.90 Ha while the rated production will be

0.15 MTPA. 3.5 Project description with process details It is already mentioned that mining operation will commence after the grant

of mining lease in the area. The production of iron ore will totally depend on the captive requirement of the applicant. The terrain of the deposit is hilly in nature and the Iron ore outcrops are mostly seen at the hill top.

It is proposed to open a working pit by slicing the deposit from the top and it

is observed out of four blocks which has been identified and explored, Block No. II & III are prominent having wide thickness and depth persistence of more than 18.0 m (Refer Fig 1 & 2). It is proposed to open the pit in Block no. II by slicing from the top and expose an area of around 2000 m2 with two benches in iron ore having height of 3.0 m each. The face advancement will be from southern side towards northern side following the outcrop. Besides, in initial years stress will be given to carry out float mining operation till the production and quality is stabilized.

3.5.1 Year wise development for the first five years The year wise production is being projected considering the captive

requirement of the applicant. The applicant is having a sponge iron production unit located near Raipur having present capacity of 3.0 lakh tonnes per year. Year-wise production for first five years are given below:

The first and fifth year stage plans are given in Fig 1 & 2.


FIG 1: FIRST YEAR STAGE PLAN


FIG 2: FIFTH YEAR STAGE PLAN


3.5.2 Mining method It has been observed that the iron ore is mostly outcropping and exists at

the top of the hillock surrounded by float ore. There is as such no overburden capping noticed in the iron ore deposit. The deposit is of bowl shape in the form of lenses and can be opened up easily. It is proposed to undertake opencast mining with bench pattern.

It is proposed to open a working pit having excavated area of 2000 m2 in

first year which will be subsequently increased year wise. Initially there will be two benches in iron ore deposit having height of 3.0 m each and follow in subsequent year of mining operation. The slicing of the deposit will be carried out from top to bottom side gradually covering the whole area of the outcrop. At the end of 5th year there will be four benches in iron ore deposit. The height of the benches will be 3.0 m each in 1st five years.

Besides, mining operation in ore block-II, float ore mining will also be in

progress and it is proposed to produce 10,500 tonnes in 1st year which will increase to 21,000 tonnes in the 3rd, 4th and 5th year.

3.5.3 Post Mining Reclamation and Land use Pattern 12.13 Ha will be utilized for back filling with prior permission from IBM. For

reclamation a thin layer of soil will be laid out on the backfilled pit, so that plantation with local species can be taken up and a green belt will be created.

Plantation of Boundary & Others : 4.00 Ha

Pits, Quarries & Roads etc. : 20.60 Ha

Infrastructure : 4.00 Ha

Total (disturbed) : 28.60 Ha

Undisturbed : 50.30 Ha

Total mine lease area : 78.90 Ha

Extent of area to be backfilled & afforested : 12.13 Ha

Tree density of planted trees/ha : 1000 trees/Ha 3.5.4 Extent of Mechanisation The excavation will be done by using excavator machines/manually. The

excavated material will be sorted and sized at the surface-stacking site or at the quarry bottom stacking site. After blasting, sorting and sizing will be done manually by hammers. Drilling and blasting through conventional methods along with compressor and jack hammers. Following will be different machine used for mining purposes:

3.5.5 Drilling There is no overburden in the lease are. The iron ore deposit is almost

outcropping. Iron ore is hard and it cannot be removed without drilling and blasting. The holes will be drilled by compressed air operated jack hammer in rows and the spacing between two holes in a row will be 1.0 m and the burden will be 0.9 m. The depth of the hole will be 1.5 m to 1.6 m and the dia. of the holes will be 34 mm. The benches will be drilled and blasted with 1.5 m lift. No drilling and blasting will be required for float ore mining. It will be simply picked up manually and stacked in predetermined place for further dispatch.

3.5.6 Blasting The mining operation will be in small scale and average production will be in

the range of 48,000 to 1,00,000 tonnes per year at the end of 5th year as proposed. Details of the blasting parameters given in the following table.

Depth and diameter of hole : 1.5 m – 1.6 m depth, 34 mm dia. Blasting Pattern : Two rows blasting having length of Free

face of 100 m at the working pit. Spacing between holes : 1.0 m Burden : 0.9 m


Type of explosive & charge per hole

: 500 gms –600 gms of Gelatine along with Detonators

Powder factor : 6-8 tonnes per kg explosives. Consumption of explosives : 25 kg per round for 50 nos. of holes.

Normally blasting will be done every day. Monthly consumption will be around 600 kg to 2000 kg of gelatin and 10,000 nos. of detonators.

Storage of explosives will install a 500 kg portable explosive magazine with 8000 nos. of detonators capacity

3.5.7 Loading and transportation It is already mentioned that the mining operation will be of manual and

Semi-mechanized nature. In case of iron ore, after blasting, it will be fragmented and it will be sized. The blasted, fragmented iron ore as well as float ore will be manually loaded to the trucks / tippers for onward dispatch to captive unit of the applicant that is located near Raipur.

3.5.8 Mine Drainage The topography of the area is of hilly nature and there is as such no water

sources in the area from which inherent seepage of water occur and for this reason this area does not require any specific drainage pattern. It is observed from the Surface Plan that there are few small nallah emitting from the area, which evacuate the runoff from the area during rainy season. No adverse impact of mining activity on groundwater storage is anticipated since the ultimate floor depth will remain much above the regional water table (380-385 m RL) in the area. The mine will have ultimate depth in the range of 472 m RL.

3.5.9 Category of reserves Sectional method has been used to calculate reserves of this type of iron

ore body in the lease area. The volume of ore has calculated by the multiplication of cross sectional area and its length of influence. The volume has been multiplied by bulk density of iron ore which is taken as 3.5 t/cum. Thus figure of tonnage is arrived. The estimation of reserves of insitu iron ore bodies done on the above basis is given below:

Insitu ore

Sl. No. Reserves Tonnage (Mt) 1 Proved 2.9159 2 Probable Reserves 0.3646 3.281

The total Iron ore reserves available in Insitu iron ore bodies in the

proposed area is 2.9159 + 0.3646 = 3.281 million tonnes.


Float Ore Estimation of float ore reserves in the proposed area has been done by

multiplying the total area of the float ore with depth factor of 3.0 m to arrive at the volume of crude float ore. The depth factor 3.0 m has been taken on the basis of the depth of the crude float ore seen in the nallah section. Recovery of 50% of volume has been taken for recoverable float ore volume. Tonnage factor of 3.5 has been considered to calculate the reserves in tonnes. The reserves estimation of float ore is 2,12,275 tonnes @ 50% Recovery. Thus the total float ore available in the proposed area is 0.212 million tonnes.

Therefore, total iron ore reserves in the area is as follows:

Sl. No.

Category Proved in Million Tonnes

Probable in Million Tonnes

Total in Million tonnes

1. Insitu ore 2.9159 0.3646 3.281

2. Float ore 0.212 – 0.212

Total 3.1279 3.493 Mineable Reserves & Anticipated Life: Estimated proved geological reserves is 3.493 million tonnes. There will be mining losses and waste intercalations amounting to 10% and

estimated recovery will be 90%. So, available Mineable reserves will be as follows: 3.493 million tonnes x 0.9 = 3.14 million tonnes. Anticipated life of the mine will be obtained by computing the life of the mine

by considering the proposed rate of production when the mine is fully developed and production for next five years. Proposed rate of production from the starting of 6th year will be around 1,50,000 tonnes. Considering the above factors, Anticipated Life of the Mine will be around 21 years + 5 years = 26 years.

3.6 Raw material required along with estimated quantity, likely source,

marketing area of final product’s, Mode of transport of raw material and Finished product

No raw material is required. Only diesel would be required for transportation

vehicles, operation of HEMM and generators in case of emergency. The iron ore and float ore will be loaded to the trucks or tippers for onward dispatch to the captive plant of the applicant which is located near Raipur.


3.7 Resource optimization/ recycling and reuse envisaged in the project The resources which are used in the mining will be recycled by various

methods. Sludge generated from septic tank will be composted and used as manure. Used/Spent oil from transformers/HEMM, will be sold to the CPCB/GPCB authorized vendors.

3.8 Availability of water its source, energy / power requirement and source 3.8.1 Water Ground water will be used for industrial use and drinking purpose. 3.8.2 Power Electric power is available is at Hahaladdi village and near the proposed site

for operating crusher and other machineries, if required and for lighting purpose.

3.9 Quantity of wastes to be generated (liquid and solid) and scheme for

their management / disposal Total 0.151 million tonnes OB will be generated by opencast mining which

will be used for backfilling in the mine. There will not be any discharge of effluent from this mine since domestic

waste water will be treated in the septic tank while the workshop effluent will be recirculted completely.

No surface water source exists in the mine lease. There are seasonal drains

originating from the mine lease which will get excavated. However, garland drains followed by settling tanks will be constructed to ensure smooth flow of rainwater runoff and its evacuation after settlement of suspended solids.

Solid waste management is described in detail in section 6.7. 3.10 Schematic representations of the feasibility drawing which give

information of EIA purpose The conceptual plan of mine lease is given in Annexure IV of Form-I. 4.0 SITE ANALYSIS The Mine site is located in village Hahaladdi, District Kanker, Chhattisgarh.

At present the area is virgin and it is Govt. of Chhattisgarh forest land. The area is having hilly topography and there is no activity in the area. The general drainage within the lease area is towards east and west directions. District headquarter which is Kanker at 60 km. E (aerially).


4.1 Connectivity Road The project site is well connected through State highway SH-6, Kahdubari

to Sumbalpur road at 11.7 km away towards NE and Pakhanjore to Bhanupratappur road at 1.5 km away in SSE direction (aerial).

Railway Line/Airport Nearest railway station is Dalli Rajhara RS at 72 km (by road) and nearest

airport is Raipur Airport at 158 km. (by road). 4.2 Land form, Land use and land ownership Existing land use pattern The proposed area is having hilly nature. Mining lease area is 100% forest

land. At present there is no other activity in the area. 4.3 Topography The topography of the area is hilly and having the minimum and maximum

elevation of 410 MSL and 644 MSL. 4.4 Existing infrastructure The infrastructure that exists is only in the villages such as electricity, hand

pump, village roads and community buildings. The amenities available in the villages of the 10 km radius can be seen in Annexure VI.

4.5 Soil classification The area is mostly covered with lateritic soil. 4.6 Climatic data from secondary sources The nearest meteorological station of IMD, for which climatological normal

data are available, is at Raipur at a distance of 133 Km, as the crow flies. The climate of the study area is of subtropical type and is characterized by an oppressive hot summer, a mild winter and well-distributed rainfall during the south-western monsoon season. The region is characterized by monsoon climate with the wet season extending from June-September receiving its rainfall from SW monsoon. Some rainfall is also received in winter (between December-January) from SE monsoon, originating from the Bay of Bengal. The remaining part of the year is mostly dry. However, the climate of the area is of moderate to extreme nature.

The data in respect of various parameters are briefly discussed in the

subsequent paragraphs.


Temperature The study of monthly average maximum and minimum temperatures during

1993-2005 as per IMD station Raipur shows that the monthly mean of minimum temperatures ranges from 13.52°C in January to 27.37°C in May. The monthly mean of maximum temperature ranges from 27.79°C in December to 41.82°C in May.

Rainfall The average annual rainfall for the year 1993 to 2005 was 1170.4 mm. The

monsoon season is spread over the months from June to September. Wind Speed and wind direction From perusal of the Windrose diagrams from 1979-1990, it was observed

that in the morning, the predominant wind directions were generally NE during the months from October to March while the winds are from SW between April to September. The evening winds show predominance from SW from April to September, from NE during October to December and from NE between December to March.

Relative Humidity Monthly average RH at 8:30 and 17:30 comes to 67% and 51%

respectively. Relative humidity is higher during the period of SW monsoon and lower during summer.

4.7 Social infrastructure available Hospitals, school, banks etc are present in the villages in buffer zone within

10 Km of study area. Social infrastructures exist as per Census 2011 as attached as Annexure VI.

5.0 PLANNING BRIEF 5.1 Planning concept Monnet is primarily engaged in mining and marketing of industrial minerals

in the State. The very objective of the company is to achieve cost effective technological innovations in the mining of minerals and to diversify into mineral based downstream projects. Apart from the above, the company is aiming to use the iron ore in its captive plant which is located near Raipur.

5.2 Population projection About 140 persons would be working in the mine. Unskilled and semi skilled

(after training) will be hired from in and around the mine while skilled, engineers, managerial staff and technical experts will be hired from outside.


5.3 Land use planning (break up along with green belt etc.) Refer section 3.5.4 5.4 Assessment of infrastructure demand (physical & social) An assessment of the facilities available in the villages in and adjacent to

the mine lease area will be done periodically in terms of education, hospitals, drinking water, power supply, post and telegraph, banks, communication and approach road. Accordingly, the company will prepare its annual CSR plan along with budget for implementation.

Core infrastructure, like power distribution system, road, telecommunication,

housing, service buildings viz. office, store, First Aid centre, canteen etc. will be established at the mine site.

5.5 Amenities / facilities Education, Hospitals, drinking water, power supply, post and telegraph,

banks, communication and approach roads are present in the villages in buffer zone within 10 Km of study area as seen in Annexure VI to Form-1. The site office, workshop, garage & other ancillaries will be provided. Electric power is available at Hahaladdi village and near the proposed site for operating crusher and other machineries, if required, and for lighting purpose. The First Aid Room, Rest Shelters, Toilets, Tool /Store Rooms etc will be established at the mine site.

6.0 PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE 6.1 Industrial area (processing area) The total extent of the mine lease is 78.90 Ha. The activity wise detail of

proposed land use in the mine plan period has been referred in para 3.5.3. 6.2 Residential area (non processing area) Mostly local workers from nearby villages will be deployed. Green belt It is proposed to have plantation at the rate of 1000 trees/ ha. Based on

climate and soil characteristics of the study area, native species as well as fast growing species have been recommended for plantation.

The plant species for plantation are listed below:

Small species Tall species Yellow Kaneer (Thevieta peruviana) Teak (Tectona grandis) Pink Kaner (Nerium sp.) Siris (Albizzia lebbeck)


Small species Tall species Bougainvellea (Bougainvillea sp.) Neem (Azadirachta indica) Ber (Zizyphus sp.) Druping Ashok (Polyalthia longifoila) Kachnar (Bauhinia variegata ) Aam (Mangifera indica) Duranta (Duranta sp.) Peepal (Ficus religiosa) Kamayani (Murriya exocitica) Palash (Butea sp) Babool (Acacia arabica) Kassod (Cassia siamea) Sharifa (Annona squamosa) Karanja (Pongamia pinnata) Amaltas (Cassia fistula) Harra (Terminalia chebula)

Baheda (Terminalia bellirica) Gulmohar (Delonix regia) Akasia (Acacia auriculiformis) Amla (Emblica officinalis)

Gular (Ficus glomerata) 6.3 Social infrastructure Refer section 4.7, 5.4 and 5.5. 6.4 Connectivity Road Refer section 4.1. Railway Line/Airport Refer section 4.1. 6.5 Drinking water management (source & supply of water) Refer section 3.8. 6.6 Sewerage system & industrial waste management The waste water generated within the mine lease would be the sanitation

waste water which would be disposed in septic tanks. The septic tank will be desludged periodically. The other source of waste water would be the effluent from workshop. However, the workshop would function on the principle of complete recirculation of water. Therefore, the effluent from the workshop will first pass through the oil water separator and settlement tank to settle suspended particulates before being reused.

The oil and grease, thus, collected in oil water separator would be sold to

the CPCB authorized vendors while the sludge from settlement tank would be disposed along with the OB since it would predominantly be containing mud.


6.7 Solid waste management Total OB generation will be only 0.151 million tonnes only during the life of

the mine for which only 6.065 Ha area for dumping will be required which will be along the south western boundary of ML.

The mineralization is localized in the area and out of whole area it is

mineralized partially which is covered in places and outcropping in most of the area. Top soil cover will be removed due to mining operation and will be stacked properly along the lease boundary and will be used for Afforestation purpose.

Top soil generated will be simultaneously used in plantation activities within

ML, thereby eliminating any need for its storage. Domestic solid waste will comprise of septic tank sludge as well as the daily municipal waste. There are total 140 employees and it is anticipated that there will be generation of approximately 14.0 kg/day of municipal waste and 4 kg of sludge per day. The sludge being organic in nature will be composted and used as manure in greenbelt. The organic component of the municipal waste will also be composted while the recyclable component will be sold to recycling vendors. The non recyclable and inorganic components will be the smallest portion (approx 20%) and will be backfilled along with the overburden in a small area, demarcated as the landfill for municipal waste.
