CHAPTER – I
ANTICIAPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT & MITIGATION MEASURES
1.1 AIR POLLUTION IMPACT ASSESSMENT
The impact assessment has been carried out dealing with the following points:
(a) Phase-wise inventory of air pollution emission sources
(b) Impact assessment
a. Phase-wise inventory of air pollution emission sources
The pollution sources are obvious and to assess the impact, the project life is divided
into following time frames:
Operation phase
Post-Operational stage
The activities associated with these time frames and having impact on the ambient
air quality along with the pollutants are enumerated in the following sections:
Operational phase
During this phase, activities necessary for mining of coal, its handling and transport
are taken up. Such activities having impact on ambient air quality are detailed below:
(i)Drilling : Dust
(ii)Blasting of coal and overburden : Dust and noxious gases
(iii)Handling of coal : Dust and noxious gases
(iv)Overburden handling : Dust and noxious gases
(v)Dump formation : Dust and exhaust fumes from dumpers and
dust
till the development of green cover
(vi)Movement of vehicles : Dust and noxious fumes
Post-Operational stage
CMPDI
ADDENDUM EIA/EMP OF NEW MAJRI UG TO OC 2
The mine closure cost will cover various activities for which a corpus fund is created
by opening an escrow account. An amount @ Rs 6.00 lakhs per ha of the project
area is being deposited in this account for final mine closure. Progressive mine
closure will be done with the fund provided in approved report.
The activities during closure include viz modifications in physical and biological
reclamation, salvaging and shifting operation of HEMMs and other equipment,
clearing of coal and other materials, restoration of infrastructure area & colony area
to the extent possible for use in other projects, management of hydrology and
hydrogeology, redeployment of workforce, etc, arrangement & implementation of
post-operation monitoring mainly keeping watch, vigil, etc.
The activities having impact on the ambient air quality are enumerated below:
(i)Movement of HEMMs for physical reclamation of backfilled area
- Dust and obnoxious fumes
(ii)Movement of vehicles for shifting and salvaging operation of HEMMs and other
equipment
- Dust and obnoxious fumes
(iii)Movement of vehicles for clearing of coal and other materials
- Dust and obnoxious gases
b. Impact assessment
Mining and its related activities create ambient air pollution. Impact of
mining on ambient air quality is highlighted in the following paragraphs:
Ambient air quality is influenced due to the presence of PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx, etc.,
which are generated due to various activities like drilling, blasting and OB & coal
handling related to the project. Further, ambient air quality is affected marginally to a
varying degree due to the mining activities of other nearby opencast and
underground coal mines of the same coalfield. The concentration of pollutants may
vary depending upon the various micro-meteorological parameters and the seasons
of a year.
The baseline ambient air quality data generated surrounding the site of New
Majri UG to OC before start of mining activities were discussed in the approved
EIA/EMP (EC obtained VIDE LETTER NO J-11015/25/2008-IA on 18.02.2011) and it
shows that the levels of various pollutants were within the permissible limits.
CMPDI
ADDENDUM EIA/EMP OF NEW MAJRI UG TO OC 3
Now, with the start of the expansion of the project , there is likelihood of
addition of pollution to the existing concentration level of different attributes of
ambient air. Efforts are being made by implementation of proper abatement
measures so as to maintain quality of ambient air to the pre – expansion level to the
extent possible.
In order to assess the likely contribution of pollution due to proposed expansion
in production capacity to 1.2 MTPA (from 0.8 MTPA), numerical modelling has been
carried out by using FDM90121 Model which is incorporated in subsequent pages.
The results showing the Isopleth both for without and with Control measures have
been attached herewith in subsequent pages along with a Table of the resultant air
quality. It may be seen that the resultant air pollution level will remain well within the
permissible limits with the suggested control measures.

From the above it can be seen that incremental value against existing dust level due
to proposed enhancement in capacity will be marginal. With the control measures
already in place and further augmentation and its continuous operation and
maintenance, the level of dust is to remain within the permissible limit value.
1.2 AIR POLLUTION CONTROL MEASURES
New Majri UG to OC is opened in Oct-2015, the environmental monitoring data
generation has been started on regular basis as per the Env (Protection)
Amendment Rule published Vide Gazette of dated 25.9.2000. The results are shown
in Annexure - VII for the ready reference. It is observed that most of the values are
found to be well within the Standard for coal mine stipulated by ministry of
Environment & Forests and all the PM2.5, SO2 and NOx values are well within CPCB
norms. . In addition to data generation, following abatement measures are being and
will continue to be operated and maintained in order to suppress the dust and
noxious gases generation during the proposed expansion to the maximum possible
extent
1.2.1 DRILLING OPERATIONS
In order to reduce dust generated by drilling operation wet drilling is being done. At
present all drills are operated with Wet drilling system.
1.2.2 BLASTING OPERATION
In order to minimize the generation of dust during blasting, the following measures
have been and continue to be adopted:
a) Proper placing/spacing/positioning of blast holes.
b) Proper design of blast considering the actual geo-mining conditions.
c) Blasting to be done between shifts or during the rest interval when the minimum
number of persons is present around the blast area. In order to quickly disperse
the dust generated in blasting operations, blasting is avoided when there is wind.
Blasting is avoided in the mornings and during cloudy situations.
d) Adaptation of Controlled Blasting Technique as permitted by DGMS, wherever
required.

1.2.3 LOADING & TRANSPORT
The loosened overburden material as well as coal, as far as possible is being and
will be continue to be wetted first with help of water spray arrangements before the
start of loading operations.
Movement of vehicles and HEMM on haul roads, particularly when they are un-
metalled, is another major source of dust generation. To minimize dust generation
due to this operation, the following abatement measures will be taken.
1) All long-life haul roads and service roads will be properly constructed and
metaled. Un-metaled roads will be kept free of ruts, potholes etc. The total length
of WBM road is 1.1 Km. is completed. Black topping road outside of mine and up
to siding is 0.9 Km.
All haul-roads will be regularly sprayed with water. Water sprinklers will be
regularly used in the project. Total 5 nos. of fixed sprinkler are installed at Coal
stock yard.
2) At present there are 3 Nos. 0f Mobile tanker each of capacity15 KL in operation
3) Overloading of vehicles will continue to be avoided.
4) Covering of loaded trucks by tarpaulin.
5) Regular cleaning of transportation roads.
6) Adequate green belt will be developed all along the coal transportation road on
both sides.
All the above-mentioned control measures will be continued during the entire
life of the project.
1.2.4 OB DUMPS On the dump slopes and top surface, plantation of grass and trees will be done in
phases and the details are as follows;-
The job of plantation will be taken up from the revenue budget of the mine.

During 2016 monsoon season twenty thousands (20,000 Nos.) plantation has been
done on plain land and all along periphery of the mine on about 8 ha of land area.
1.2.5 COAL HANDLING PLANT
A coal handling plant of erstwhile New Majri UG is existing to handle the entire
production of coal from mine. Location of the CHP will be near access trench.. For
coal stock yard 5 nos. of fixed type sprinkler has been installed.
1.2.6 AMBIENT AIR QUALITY MONITORING The ambient air quality monitoring will continue to be carried out on regular
basis as per the Env (Protection) Amendment Rule, 2000 so as to ascertain the likely
load of various air pollutants and thereby suitably modifying the various control
measures.
1.2.7 PLANTATION TO CHECK AIR POLLUTION Plantation has been under taken in the mine area as mitigatives measure
against air pollution, noise pollution and to increase the aesthetic value. The
plantation will be developed at suitable places like overburden dump, along the road
sides, unused land etc to arrest as well as reduce the rate of dispersion of dust
generated due to various mining operations viz. quarrying, coal and OB
transportation, OB dumping, CHP operation. Species to be planted (recommended
by Forest Department) in the area are as follow.
a) Ornamental trees viz Gulmohar and fruit trees like Mango, Guava, Jamun and
medicinal plant like Neem etc. will be planted in colony area, schools, dispensary,
community buildings, playground etc.
b) Ornamental shady trees will be planted e.g. around colony along roads, haul
roads, and around industrial buildings etc.
c) The fast growing varieties of trees act as sound barriers whereas Ornamental
shady trees e.g. Subabul, Kikar and Karanj will add to the aesthetic look of the
area.
d) The Species to be planted on OB dumps etc are: Gravalia, Robusia, Punis,
Vanetis, Semal, Karanj, Babul, etc.

e) During 2016 monsoon season twenty thousands (20,000 Nos.) plantation has
been done on plain land and all along periphery of the mine on about 8 ha of land
area.
1.3 WATER QUALITY Impact Assessment on Water: - Identification of the sources of water pollution
Likely sources of water pollution from this project along with the type of pollutants are
as follows:
(i)Sanitary (domestic) wastewater : Suspended solids and BOD.
(ii)Industrial wastewater from workshop : Suspended solids, oil &
grease;
(iii)Wastewater from mine : Suspended solids of coal,
clay and oil;
(iv)Surface run-off passing through coal stockpiles : Suspended solids;
(v)Storm water from leasehold area and built-up area : Suspended solids.
1.3.1 IMPACT ASSESSMENT Mining and its related activities may create water quality problems. The impact of
mining at the project on both surface and ground water sources has been assessed
and given below:
(a)Surface water sources
There can be deterioration of water quality and pollution of water bodies due
to discharge of mine effluent, if not treated. Change in relief pattern due to mining
may cause flooding, siltation, choking and pollution. Mitigation measures would
involve provision of (i) garland drains on periphery to prevent surface run-off from
entering into the quarry, (ii) catch drain around the dumps for avoiding siltation and
(iii) sedimentation ponds for reducing the pollution of surface water bodies.
Possible overflow of water from nearby rivers/Nallahs will be safeguarded by stone
pitching and strengthening the embankment along the side of the water course
In order to assess the existing quality of mine pumped out water from New Majri UG
to OC, water samples have been collected & analysed and attached as a Annexure
–VIII. It can be concluded that effluent from existing mine does not contain pollution
CMPDI
11
load so as to affect natural water quality adversely. The proposed expansion in
production capacity is proposed within the existing EC accorded area as such no
adverse impact on water quality is anticipated.
To assess quality of mine effluent same will monitored regularly as per Env.
(Protection) Amendment Rule, 2000. The results are shown in Annexure -VIII, it is
observed that water quality parameters recorded in the mine effluent are well within
the permissible limits. However, due care will be taken to treat the mine water
discharge by sedimentation for the proposed expansion project. Effluents from
workshop will be treated in ETP and moreover water will be mostly recycled in
Workshop & CHP. As such, possibility of adverse impact on natural watercourses
after mixing is very remote.
Garland drain around the OB dump & coal dump will be made to avoid
siltation of natural water course.
It can be concluded that the impact due to proposed expansion in mining
operation, the adverse impacts on water both surface as well as ground water will be
insignificant.
1.3.2 WATER POLLUTION CONTROL MEASURES
i) Industrial Effluent
The wastewater from workshop and CHP, which normally remain laden with oil and
grease, suspended and dissolved solids etc. will be treated in the Effluent Treatment
Plant. Clear water coming out from the treatment plant will be taken into the closed
water circuit and recycled for its reuse. All parameter of ETP waste discharge will be
monitored regularly as per Env. (Protection) Amendment Rule, 2000. At present the
existing workshop effluent treatment plant at adjacent New Majri OC is being used.
ii) Mine Water
At present, entire strata seepage water is passing onto underground workings below.
As such there is no mine pumping at the working face.
iii) Surface Run-off
Adequate numbers of trees will be grown on the top surface and slopes of the dumps
in order to arrest the erosion of soil and it also reduces surface run-off, which helps
averting siltation of Natural watercourses.
CMPDI
12
Catch drains of size (approx.) top width 2m, bottom width 1m with height of
1m provided around periphery of the OB dump as well as soil dumps to arrest site
and sediment flows from the respective dump sites. In case of OB benches in the
quarry, cross drainage has been and continue to be provided which will carry silt and
sediments into main sump made at the floor of the seam which will accumulate all
the silts and act as first stage settling pond. The water will then be pumped out
through pumps on to the surface and discharged in to surface settling
tank/sedimentation pond. The clear water from the surface sedimentation tank will be
used for watering the mine area, roads and green belt development. The catch
drains mentioned above will be regularly desilted and maintained properly. In
addition, garland drains will also be provided around the periphery of the excavated
area, which will carry surface run off and the drains will be regularly desilted before
onset of monsoon. These drains will allow accumulation of silt materials and
sufficient retention time for settling of silt materials.
The mine has started operation on 30.10.2015 and is being developed
accordingly. Garland drain of length 1090 m with avg. width 2.50 m and avg. height
1.50 m has been provided around the mine. Similarly catch drains of length 885m
with avg. width 2.50 m and avg. depth 1.50 m has been provided with siltation pond
of dimension 50mX30mX1.20m has been provided.
There is no separate township for this project. The existing township is being
used which is already having well set-up sewage disposal arrangement. Regular
water quality/effluent quality monitoring is being carried out and will continue to be
carried out so as to ascertain the likely load of pollutants and thereby suitably
modifying the control measures.
1.4 HYDROGEOLOGY AND GROUND WATER
1.4.1 HYDROGEOLOGICAL SET-UP
a. AQUIFERS The area in and around New Majri UG to OC mine is covered by alluvium, Kamthis,
Lameta and Talchir. The groundwater potential is generally moderate to high in
alluvium over Kamthis in the buffer zone area while it is poor in Talchir and Lameta.
Groundwater occurs below the water table within inter granular pore spaces of semi-
consolidated sandstone and also in secondary porous structures associated with
them. Groundwater exists under both confined and unconfined conditions in the
CMPDI
13
area. Unconfined aquifer generally extends up to a depth of 25 m below ground level
(bgl) and occurs in alluvium / detrital mantle and Kamthis. Whereas confined / semi-
confined aquifer is encountered at relatively greater depths in Kamthi and Barakar
formations and is harnessed by shallow / deep tube wells. The types of aquifers are
given in the table below.

b. GROUNDWATER LEVELS
To collect the representative groundwater levels in the study area, WCL
through CMPDI,RI-IV has established a monitoring network with 20 dug wells
(hydrograph stations) spread over the buffer zone (10 km radius from the New Majri
UG to OC mine ). Water level monitoring in these hydrograph stations has been
done as per MoEF guidelines (four times in a year) during the period between
May’06 and Aug’16.
The range of water levels, measured from the area in and around New Majri UG to
OC mine area are given below.
Pre monsoon period
May-June
Core Zone (within 3 km) 8.90 m to 15.85 m

c. WATER LEVEL TREND
Hydrographs of two permanent observation wells fixed by WCL through CMPDI,
Regional Institute-IV are presented in fig 1 & 2 to assess the pre-monsoon and post-
monsoon water level trends from 2007/2008 to 2015. Pre-monsoon and post-
monsoon water level trend of well No (M-16 B) situated in core zone of New Majri UG
to OC mine (village Kondha) indicate a rising trend of water level as given below
figure .
Figure 1 – Hydrograph at Konda Village
A rising trend in both pre-monsoon and post-monsoon water levels has also been
observed at the station Vijasan (M-41 B) situated in buffer zone of New Majri UG to
OC mine. It also indicate that there is no impact on ground water level as shown in
figure 2.
CMPDI

Figure 2 – Hydrograph at Vijasan Village
d. General Aquifer Parameters The confined / semi-confined aquifer occurring at greater depth in Kamthis
and Barakars is mostly tapped by shallow / deep tube wells. The tube wells located
in the project area tapping the semi-confined aquifer in Kamthi and Upper Barakar
formations down to a depth of about 100m have registered better yield ranging from
3 to 5 LPS. It may be appropriate to emphasis here that Lower Barakars overlapped
directly by Kamthis is a better environment due to direct recharge / infiltration from
the potential Kamthi formations. No detailed hydrogeological investigations were
carried out at New Majri UG to OC mine area. However, the aquifer parameters
evaluated by CMPDI at under UNDP Project at Bhadravati which is located in the
eastern part of buffer zone have been considered and attributed to the study area.
The projected hydraulic parameters of the aquifer in alluvium and Kamthi / Barakar
formations are as follows:
Table-1.4.1: Aquifer parameters of New Majri UG to OC mine
Hydraulic conductivity (m/d) Kamthi – 5.0 m/day
Barakar – 2.0 m/day
Storage Coefficient 7.7 x 10-3 to 9.8 x 10-4
Specific yield 0.05 – 0.03

1.4.2 GROUND WATER RESOURCES IN THE AREA
A. GROUNDWATER RECHARGE Precipitation is the main source for groundwater recharge in the area. The
average annual rainfall of the area is around 1150 mm. The quantity of rain water
falling over the study area of 314 Sq.km (10 km radius) is 361.1 million cubic meter
(MCM). The quantum of groundwater recharge depends on various factors viz.
nature of soil cover, geology, topography, vegetation, intensity and duration of
rainfall etc. As per the Groundwater Estimation Committee, Govt. of India, the rainfall
infiltration factor for Alluvium/ Kamthis, Talchirs and Lameta is around 12 %, 4% and
6% respectively. Accordingly, ground water recharge in Alluvium/Kamthis, Talchir &
Lameta formations has been worked out to be 43.08 MCM as given below.
a) Recharge from rainfall: 41.1 MCM
i) Alluvium / Kamthis (area 283.65 Sq.Km.) – 39.14 MCM
ii) Talchirs (area 5.32 Sq.Km) – 0.24 MCM
iii) Lameta (area 24.96 Sq Km) – 1.72 MCM
b) Recharge from other sources: 1.98 MCM
i) Irrigation returns flow: 0.31 MCM
ii) Return flow from mines pumped out water: 1.67 MCM.
c) Gross groundwater recharge (a+b): 43.08 MC
B. GROUNDWATER DRAFT The groundwater withdrawal is generally for domestic, industry and irrigation
requirement and is quantified as under Table below: -

annual ground water draft 12.41 MCM that surplus ground water to the tune of 38.78
MCM is available for future utilization and development. Thus the present stage of
ground water development in and around the project has been around 32.0 % which
can be categorized as safe area.
E. GROUND WATER QUALITY
The groundwater quality in buffer zone different running mines is being
monitored regularly by WCL through CMPDI, an ISO-9001 company. Generally, the
water quality in buffer zone of New Majri UG to OC mine is nearly neutral in nature
with pH value of 6.98 to 7.17 with total dissolved solids (TDS) concentration within
permissible limit i.e. 580 mg/l to 1170 mg/l. The details of ground water monitoring
continuing since erstwhile UG mine till Nov.’16 is attached at Annexure – IX.
1.4.3 GROUND WATER IMPACT ASSESSMENT
A. MINE DRAINAGE/PUMPING
The semi-consolidated Gondwanas are mostly stratified formations
underlying the alluvium/soil. The permeable beds (Sandstone horizons) act as
individual hydrogeological units and develop multi-aquifer system by the
intercalation/interfringing of shale beds. As such under these circumstances, the
groundwater flow/velocity along the bedding planes is higher than across the plane.
It is imperative that horizontal hydraulic conductivity is many folds higher than the
vertical hydraulic conductivity.
The opencast mine acts as large diameter well/sink resulted in by cutting
/extraction of different aquifer zones/formations overlying the working coal seam. As
soon as depression / pit is created due to mine cut, the initial discharge is generally
heavy due to concentration of flow to that region, thereby creating depletion/draw-
down in water levels in the surrounding area and the inflow stabilizes due to partial
desaturation over the period of progressive mining. With increase in depth of
incision, the semi-confined aquifer would also be exposed /punctured thereby the
total system would be converted into water table condition and a cone of depression
would be formed by the gravity drainage from different aquifer zones. The mine
CMPDI
20
effluent & influence is directly proportional to the mine area and depth. The
groundwater inflow computation has been done by utilizing previously mentioned
aquifer and mine parameters. The classic Theis equation has been modified by
introducing mine expansion rate and the groundwater inflow to the mine has been
estimated to be around 7020 m3/day.

B. RADIUS OF MINE INFLUENCE AREA
In the opencast mines, the different aquifers overlying the working coal seam would
be contributing groundwater to the mine by gravity drainage since they are exposed /
removed at the mine. The anticipated groundwater inflow as worked out 7500
m3/day. As such due to this pumping, cone of depression would be formed. The
shape and extent of the cone would depend on mainly hydraulic conductivity and
specific yield of aquifers and recharge discharge boundaries and geological
structures such as major faults etc. The maximum radius of influence may expand up
to about 550 m from the edge of the mine. The cone of influence however, depends
on the lithological variation of formation, direction of advancement of mine, ground
water potential of the area. However the cone of influence would be around 550 m
from the mine edge in the dip side of the mine. But in up dip side of the mine, the
cone of influence would by steep and radius of influence in this direction as observed
will be negligible. Generally steep draw down cone is also formed in poor potential
aquifers, thereby, the influence area would be up to smaller distance and reverse is
established in respect of aquifers with high hydraulic conductivity.
C. IMPACT OF MINING ON WATER REGIME
CMPDI
21
The mining activity creates dis-equilibrium in environmental scenario of the
area and disturbs the groundwater conditions/regime in particular. The impact on
water regime due to mining activity can be broadly classified as under:
i) Impact on topography & soil
ii) Impact on surface water and quality
iii) Impact on groundwater & quality
A brief description/out-line on these aspects is given below:
D. IMPACT ON TOPOGRAPHY & SOIL
A local change in ground topography will be created at New Majri UG to OC
mine area due to mining operations such as open pit, embankments, dumps of
overburden and coal. As a result, there would be marginal change in the drainage
and surface run-off. During these courses, soil is more susceptible for changes due
to erosion, leaching phenomena/process etc. Further the fine dust particles of coal &
overburden may adversely affect the porosity of soils. The external dumps will result
in silting on soils and local drains thereby marginal change in topography and
drainage of the area.
Within the core zone area, cracks and loosening of soil would be resulted due
to mining and associated activities such as drilling, blasting etc. thereby
physical/textural changes would occur in soil/formations. This mine-induced process
increases the rate of infiltration and recharge of groundwater. The studies carried out
in Wardha Valley Coalfield have established that rainfall-infiltration rates have been
increased by 100% (doubled) in the core zone area of opencast mines thereby
increasing the scope of groundwater recharge. So also the backfilled area may act
as a good media for high groundwater recharge due to high-induced permeability.
Further, the void proposed to be left out would store substantial quantity of rain water
which can be utilized for domestic & agriculture use and also for recharging the
groundwater source. These mine-induced effects may change the surface run-off in
the core zone area resulting in a difference in hydrological regime of local drains.
It may be appropriate to high light the fact that temporary groundwater
loss/deficit created during active mining stage would be compensated by these
CMPDI
22
different means in the post mining stage so that the initial groundwater levels are
regained to normalcy at the earliest for the utility of the area.
E. IMPACT ON SURFACE WATER QUALITY
As mentioned earlier, there would be a change in the ground topography and
infiltration capacity/rate of soil/formation due to mining operations resulting in some
local change in drainage pattern and surface run-off in core zone. It is established
that high infiltration zone would serve as good media for high groundwater recharge
and reduces the surface run-off considerably in the core zone. In view of this, the
mine has to handle more water in the monsoon besides the additional contribution
from the surface run-off from the catchment area. As such the surface run-off
contribution to the natural drains from the mining area would be reduced / minimum
thereby some minor change is expected in hydrologic regime of the river system.
F. IMPACT ON GROUNDWATER & ITS QUALITY
Mining is associated with groundwater problems, particularly when it is below
water table. The impact of mining on groundwater is dependent mainly on mine and
aquifer parameters, groundwater recharge-discharge process etc. As such, during
this exercise, basically the water level is to be depressed/depleted below the working
seam depth in which case large scale mine water pumping cannot be avoided.
Consequently, the mine dewatering would drain out some area around the mine with
decline in groundwater levels. However, these mine-induced effects are temporary.
Further, the mine pumped out water would not contaminate the other resources of
water. The mine water quality monitoring is being done at the stipulated intervals as
preventive measures.
Groundwater inflow and mine influence area have been estimated and the
groundwater monitoring has been undertaken as corrective measure to avoid
adverse effects. The mine discharge after passing through sedimentation pond / tank
is being discharged onto land/natural drains at suitable locations so that the
groundwater gets additional recharge by the return flow. The artificial recharge by
water conservation structures in mine influence area proper may not be a viable
solution because of the reason that recharged water would drain to the mine at a
CMPDI
23
faster rate due to the steep hydraulic gradients resulted in during mining activity. As
mentioned earlier the mine impact may be for temporary period during mine life and
the area would regain the normalcy/benefits in many ways by appropriate
reclamation measures during post-mining period. However, the water shortage in the
mine influence area would be supplemented from the treated mine water discharge
for both domestic & irrigation use of affected villages if any.
1.4.4 GROUND WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
A. AUGMENTATION OF GROUNDWATER RECHARGE POTENTIAL
As a part of environmental protection, the project has been adopting all possible
measures to increase the ground water recharge potential in the influenced and
nearby areas.
B. AFFORESTATION AND PLANTATIONS
To improve the environment and greenery in the area, WCL takes up plantation on
a larger scale in the coal mining area. Physical reclamation is the first stage of
reclamation in which geometrical shapes of the dumps are made suitable for
biological reclamation and make it stable and safe. Biological reclamation involves
growing of grasses and trees that can check the soil erosion from the dump. The
improvement in vegetation cover has a direct bearing on augmentation of ground
water recharge.
C. RAIN WATER HARVESTING & ARTIFICIAL RECHARGE
Mine is a big rainwater harvesting and artificial recharge structure. Rain is a
seasonal occurrence, whereas, mine water discharge is a continuous process.
Hence, priority is given for mine water harvesting. The mine water discharge into
the local ponds converts them into as recharge pits and augments the source
availability. The surplus mine water is being discharged into the nearby fields not
only improves irrigation potential but also increase the ground water recharge
(spreading method) in the area. The ponds/tanks/stop dams will be constructed in
the affected villages also augment the groundwater recharge. Efforts are being
made to construct more recharge structures (i.e. ponds/tanks) at suitable sites in the
CMPDI
24
nearby affected villages. At present one rain water harvesting pond of size 88 m X
18m X 1.20 m has been constructed.
1.4.5 CONSERVATION MEASURES
a) The mine discharge is being utilized to meet the mine’s domestic, dust
suppression, firefighting and other industrial water needs.
b) After the cessation of mining, with rainfall and groundwater recharge, the water
levels will recoup and attain normalcy. Thus, the impact of mining on
groundwater system may be considered as a temporary phenomenon. The old
mine workings also behave as water pools and improves the resource
availability in the area.
c) The construction of surface tanks and desiltation/deepening of existing low-lying
area in the local villages would enhance the water availability in the nearby
villages. Utilization of mine water for irrigation use will also enhance the ground
water recharge potential through artificial recharge in the area. Thereby, in post-
mining condition, the recharge and source potential in core zone will be much
higher than the existing.
d) The discharged mine water is available for the local people to utilize for
irrigation and domestic use. Thereby the mine water will be a resource for
many of the local villagers.
1.4.6 FUTURE STRATEGY
e) To create the water source and to increase ground water recharge, under CSR
scheme, tanks/ponds/dugwells will be constructed in the nearby villages.
f) Increase vegetative cover by plantation in the mine areas. This will contain the
surface runoff and increase the ground water recharge.
g) Monitoring of water quality of mine water discharge, local river/nala and
domestic water (dug well/hand pumps) is being carried out under routine
monitoring.
h) On analyzing the field data if any area receiving the maximum impact, suitable
controls measures will be adopted by the project authorities.

1.5 NOISE QUALITY
In order to assess the existing ambient noise level in the surrounding of
project site corresponding to pre-mining scenario, baseline noise level data was
generated & details were given in approved EIA/EMP. All the values were found well
within the permissible limit.
Proposed expansion mine would be associated with following activities that
may generate noise during operation:
a. Drilling
b. Blasting
c. Shovel operation
d. Dozing
e. Movement of dumper
f. Operation of CHP / Workshop
The following are some of the important activities responsible for high noise level
generation, with their expected noise levels:
All mining activities i.e. drilling, blasting, shoveling, dozing and dumping are
associated with high noise level [about 100 dB(A)].
Operation of most HEMMs produce high noise level. The noise level are in range of
80 – 100 dB(A). Noise level have been found to be related to engine capacity.
Crusher – General noise level due to crusher ranges from 90 dB(A) – 105 dB(A).
Some of noisy equipment produce noise whose level is around 120 dB(A).
The average sound pressure level of some of the HEMM associated with mining
operation which are responsible for high noise level generation are as follows:
EQUIPMENT NOISE LEVEL [dB(A)]
Dozer 98
Dumper 92
Power shovel 93
Drilling machine 96
ACCEPTABLE INDUSTRIAL NOISE LEVEL
CMPDI
26
As per Env. (Protection) Amendment Rules, 2000 the ambient air quality standards
in respect of noise in industrial, commercial, residential and silence zones area as
follows:
Sl. No. Category of
area
Limits [dB(A)]
Day time
(6.00 AM to 10.00 PM )

1. Industrial 75 70
2. Commercial 65 55
3. Residential 55 45
4. Silence zone 50 40
Assessment of the degree of noise to which a workplace noise is harmful, is done by
comparing the values measured at workplace to the permissible limit adopted by
statutory bodies like DGMS.
The Director General of Mines Safety vide their circular no. DG (Tech.)/18 of 1975
has prescribed the permissible limit for noise level as 90 dB(A), for the workers
engaged in mining occupation likely to be exposed to in an 8 hour shift period with
unprotected ear. Whereas, the following table shows the maximum permissible noise
exposure levels, as per American Standards, for the industrial workers.
Exposure time (Hrs./day) Noise level [dB(A)]
8 90
6 92
4 95
3 97
2 100

1 105
0.5 108
0.25 or less 115
EXPOSURE TO PULSE OR IMPACT NOISE SHOULD NOT EXCEED 140
dB(A)
CMPDI
27
With the proposed enhancement of the new Majri UG to OC, the expected
noise level in the mine activity area will be much less as the scale of operation will be
less. Hence the impact on noise will be insignificant.
1.5.1 NOISE POLLUTION CONTROL MEASURES
Monitoring of the noise control will be carried out on regular basis as per the Env
(Protection) Amendment Rule 2000. The results are shown in Annexure - VIII, it is
observed that all the values recorded in within the permissible limits. While planning
for an effective noise attenuation measures, the concept of source, path and receiver
has been considered.
(A) Noise Control at Source
There are two areas where the noise generation can be checked at source.
(i) Proper Design
Since the generation of noise can be reduced by reducing the vibration amplitude,
the area of vibrating part and frequency of vibration will be taken care that all loose
contact between metal parts avoided.
Shock absorbing pads will be fixed in the foundation of vibrating equipment /
machines. In case of aerodynamic noise producing sources, mufflers will be provided
with the machines.
(ii) Proper Maintenance
All machines and equipment will be properly maintained. Sound muffler system and
bearing lubricating system etc. of equipment will be kept in proper condition.
Noise control in Transmission Path
The measures are to be taken for control of noise along the transmission path have
been put in following two categories:
(i) Air borne path
(ii) Ground borne path
(i) Air Borne Path
The control in air – borne path has been planned in a number of ways as:
(a) The crusher house, screen house etc., which are source of high level noise
generation are to be enclosed.
CMPDI
28
(b) Planting of furrows of trees along the thick foliage around the compound and
wall of CHP, workshop and other industrial buildings. This will reduce the
spread of noise. It can be also used as an acoustic enclosure to reduce
ambient noise.
(ii) Ground Borne Path
It has been proposed to provide vibration isolators in the form of vibration absorbing
pads placed at the base of vibrating equipment.
(C) Noise Control at Receiver End
Even after adopting above measures, if desired noise level is not achieved at
receiver end, in that case, following measures are suggested:
(a) The workers exposed to high noise level are provided with earplugs.
(b) Provision of enclosed booths at the worksite to protect worker from noisy
environment.
Control of Ground Vibration
The adverse impacts due to ground vibration occurs because of blasting operations
carried out in the mine. In the proposed UG to OC Expansion blasting will be carried
out as per the provisions of the Statute and only after taking due permission from
Directorate General of Mines Safety (DGMS). The blasting pattern including spacing
of holes, burden, charge per blast/delay etc. will be duly approved by DGMS and
then only it will be practiced in the mine during actual mining operations. The blasting
will be carried out under the direct supervision of a Blasting Officer and records of
every blast will be monitored and maintained. In case of blasting near the habitation,
separate blasting pattern will be designed and tested so as to avoid/ minimize any
adverse impact of blasting/ ground vibration on the nearby structures. The approval
for such type of Controlled blasting will be obtained from DGMS and will be
implemented accordingly.

1.7 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT One external OB dump has been proposed in the rise side (eastern side) of the
quarry as shown in quarry & Surface Layout plan. The individual dump benches
would be of 15m height and final angle of overall slope of OB dump would be about
280. Maximum height of proposed external dump is planned as 60m. The overburden
quantity in the rise side dump has been estimated as 41.55Mm3. As mostly the mine
area falls below HFL hence an embankment with 30m top width has been proposed
at the periphery of mine whatever required. The quantity of OB in the construction of
embankment has been estimated as 1.5Mm3.
No internal dumping is proposed in the mine due to difficult geo- mining
conditions such as steep gradient of quarry floor, limited quarry width, developed
underground workings etc. Calendar Programme of OB dumping will be as tabulated
below.

1.8 BIO-DIVERSITY ISSUES
The reclaimed and afforested external dump covering 101.70 ha will be made
into a habitat for the fauna. This composite habitat for fauna based upon prey
predator relationships, after complete reclamation will support populations of insect,
bird species, small herbivores and other predatory species dependent upon species,
in the food chain.
1.9 SOCIAL ASPECTS
Mining operation has affected the families and landowners in the mine take area
directly. The project affected persons and families have been given adequate
compensation as per Company's norms. R&R details have been given in Annexure –

1.10 OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH ISSUES
WCL has full-fledged medical set up in all areas to check up and monitor all

CHAPTER- III
ADDITIONAL STUDIES
3.1 INTRODUCTION
Mining is a hazardous industry. There is risk to life and property associated with
various mining and allied activities of the project. As such a detailed study has been
carried out covering identification and assessment of risk, and recommendation of
measures to prevent damage to life and property against such risks. They are
discussed below.
This is an application under section 7(ii) vide MOEF&CC O.M dated 07.01.2014
3.2 PUBLIC CONSULTATION
Earlier, the Environmental public hearing of New Majri UG for a capacity of 0.8
MTPA was held on 09.09.2008 at Collector office, Chandrapur. Based on this PH,
EC for the subject project was accorded by MoEF&CC vide its letter dated
18/02/2011. Now Environmental Clearance for Enhancement in capacity from 0.8
MTPA to 1.2 MTPA with the same Mine leasehold area under section 7(ii) of EIA
notification 2006, through exemption of public Hearing is being solicited through this
addendum EIA/EMP.
3.3 DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN
3.3.1 LANDSLIDES IN OB DUMP AND MINE PIT
Opencast mining with shovel-dumper combination is the most common method and
is being practiced successfully in existing mines of WCL, hence, the same system
has also been envisaged in the proposed mine. It is therefore, necessary to take
certain precautions while OB dumps are formed. In some cases, the top soil get
mixed with rock soil in the dump, due to which there is a possibility of landslide,
particularly in rainy season, unless suitable slope is maintained. Therefore, steps
are to be taken at the time of dumping of OB that the slope of dump does not go
beyond the prescribed limit. Further, the topsoil dumping should be separate and it
can be reused on the Over Burden and embankment area.
CMPDI
41
3.3.2 SLOPE FAILURE IN OB DUMP
It may be worthwhile to mention here that if proper care is not taken in designing
proper bench height and bench slope, the OB dump may fail causing damage to life
and property.
With this in view, a proper slope analysis has been done to determine the safe bench
slope and bench height, which are given below;
Maxm. projected height of dump - 60 m.
No. of terraces and height of each stage - two, max. 30 m each and each
30 bench consists of 15 m
tiers with 6 m berm
Over all slope - 28 degree.
In OB of the proposed expansion of New Majri UG to OC, while forming & reclaiming
external OB dumps, the above-mentioned guidelines regarding slope angle etc. are
being tried.
One external OB dump has been proposed in the rise side (eastern side) of the
quarry as shown in quarry & Surface Layout plan. The individual dump benches
would be of 15m height and final angle of overall slope of OB dump would be about
280. Maximum height of proposed external dump is planned as 60m. The overburden
quantity in the rise side dump has been estimated as 41.55Mm3. As mostly the mine
area falls below HFL hence an embankment with 30m top width has been proposed
at the periphery of mine whatever required. The quantity of OB in the construction of
embankment has been estimated as 1.5Mm3.
No internal dumping is proposed in the mine due to difficult geo- mining
conditions such as steep gradient of quarry floor, limited quarry width, developed
underground workings etc.
3.3.3 MINE INUNDATION The mine pit receives water from three sources namely direct precipitation
over mine area, surface run-off from surrounding area and seepage from strata. In
heavy rainstorms, there may be situation where the mine would be flooded.
This may cause loss of human life and equipment’s. To guard against this
situation following steps are to be taken:
CMPDI
42
Provisions of garland drains of size (approx top width 2m, bottom width 1m &
height 1m) around mine quarry has been given. This will prevent surface run-off
entering the mine pit. In order to divert the rainwater around the excavated portion a
garland drain will be made; which will have the gradient suitable for diverting the
water to the river/or Nallah part away from the mine opening. This garland drain will
be cleaned and graded before the onset of monsoon. With the advance of quarry
face the position of garland drain will be shifted.
Provisions of pumps: Adequate number of pumps has been provided to drain
mine water even during maximum rainfall.
3.3.4 MINE CLOSURE ACTIVITIES The mine closure plan (MCP) has been duly prepared & approved by WCL
board in its meeting held on 23/05/2015. The break- up of closure cost along with
MCP for New Majri UG to OC mine is given in Annexure IV
3.3.5 BLASTING For quarrying of coal and removal of overburden, blasting has to be done by
use of explosives. Flying pieces generated by blasting may prove dangerous to life
and property. Hence, all the precautionary measures suggested by D.G.M.S. will be
strictly followed e.g. controlled blasting etc. In addition, following precautions have
been taken to avoid such dangerous situation.
(A) Blasting is to be done only once every day.
(B) Before blasting is done, warning Sound is to be given so that people can
move to safe places.
(C) Area lying within safety zone is to be fenced.
3.3.6 OTHER MEASURES: Other measures have also been recommended for avoiding risk in mine operation.
They are discussed below;
(A) Provision of proper illumination in quarry, O.B. dumps area, along roads, in
workshop & other work area.
(B) Communication system - Efficient communication system (based on VHF
system) have been provided for the project. This will allow proper communication link
between various work centers and helps in avoiding accidents.
(C) Maintenance facilities - The project will employ a large number of HEMMs for
quarrying and transportation of coal and OB. Ill - maintained HEMMs may prove to
CMPDI
43
be the source of grave risk. A well-equipped workshop will be provided for scheduled
maintenance of HEMMs to avoid their failures.
(D) Training - Coal industry has set up a number of training institutes for imparting
training to its employees. These training raise the safety awareness among workers
and train them to carry out their assignments safely.
(E) Medical aid - The project has provided for well-equipped hospital and qualified
doctors. They can attend to medical emergencies arising out of accidents.
3.3.7 CONCLUSIONS Following conclusions may be drawn from the above discussion:
(a) Coal mining is associated with a number of hazards.
(b) These hazards can be identified and assessed, which has been done for this
project.
(c) Preventive measures against identified risks have been provided in this report
(d) With adoption of such protective measures, the operation of the mine would be
safe.
