a The Proponent should collect the baseline data in
respect of initial level of the mining lease. For this
permanent bench marks (BM) needs to be established
at prominent location preferably close to mining leases
in question and should have precisely known
relationship to the level datum of the area, typically
mean sea level. The entire mining lease should be
divided suitably in the grids of 25 Meter x 25 Meters
with the help of sections across the width of river and
along the direction of flow of the river. The levels (MSL
& RL) of the corner point of each grid need to be
recorded. Each Grid should be suitably numbered for
identification. PP should identity grids which will we
worked out and grids which will come under no mining
zone i.e. safety barriers from the river bank, safety
barrier at lease boundary, restrictions as per condition
of LoI/ Mining Lease deed, restriction as Mineral
Concession Rule of the Concerned State, restrictions as
per sustainable sand mining management guidelines
2016 etc. The PP should ascertain the level of the river
bed with the help of sections drawn across the width of
the rivers and along the direction of flow of the river
and based on this ascertain the depth of mining of each
grid. The PP should provide a detailed map and table
clearly showing the grid wise material availability,
dimension of grid, location of grid (Lat & Long of the
corner points), level of grid (AMSL and RL), depth of
mining in each grid, grids left under no mining zone.

for the transportation of mineral, impact of
transportation on the nearby area, mitigative measures
to be adopted, the plan on the suitable scale needs to
be submitted clearly road network of the existing
mining leases and also of the other mining lease within
the study area to ascertain the cumulative impact of
the transportation. The PP should optimize the
production & transportation requirement by taking
into account the traffic density due to other mining
projects.
traffic load on the village road and National
Highway are 65 - 150 Vehicles/ hr. From the
analysis, it can be concluded that existing V/C
ratio is found to be 0.26 and 0.24 on village road/
MDR and NH-73 respectively. So, the Level of
Service is B for village road/ MDR and NH-73
which is ‘very good’ as per classification.
After commencement of production V/C ratio will
be 0.38 and 0.29 for village road/ MDR and
National Highway 73. So, the Level of Service is B
respectively for village road/ MDR and National
Highway which is ‘very good, as per classification.
Hence, the load on the carrying capacity of the
concerned roads is not likely to have any
significant adverse impact due to proposed
project. Details are provided in Section-VII point
no. 7.6.
j PP should optimize the production requirement based
on the data collected above; the GLC of various
pollutants should be well within the prescribed NAASQ
Standards limit, reduces the water consumption,
reduce the traffic density on the roads, after taking into
consideration the pollution load of the other mining
leases in the study area.
The ground level concentrations are computed for
24-hr average. The maximum ground level
concentrations of PM10, PM2.5, NOx and CO from
the different mining activities for study period
with EMP are observed to be 4.9mg/m3,
2.18mg/m3, 3.0mg/m3 and 6.0mg/m3 respectively.
The maximum GLC’s were falling within the pit
area/lease area for the given meteorological and
topographical conditions and are within the
prescribed limits of NAASQ standards.
In order to predict the particulate emissions,
AERMOD Version 7.1.0 model was used to predict
changes in air quality i.e., maximum ground level
concentration (GLC’s) of PM10, PM2.5, NOX and CO
due to the mining activity. The inputs required for
the model are:-
Hourly Meteorological Data.
Source Data.
Receptor Data.
Programme Control Parameters.

Transportation of Minerals, and Prevention of Illegal Mining Rules, 2012. Mining will be
done on river bed (excluding the river flow). Bed is surrounded by banks on both side with
a height of 2-4 meters and more at places and it is stabilized by riparian vegetation/grass.
Agriculture is being practiced adjacent to proposed mine lease.
1.3 SAND MINING
The main purpose of Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mining is given below:-
This is very essential to prevent the riverbed from becoming shallow due to the
deposition of sediments.
If riverbed sand is not mined, the widening of river banks will result in excessive
erosion; causing further damage to flora, agricultural land and settlements situated in
close proximity.
If the river bed becomes shallow the course of the river might change and the water
retention capacity will also decrease.
Protecting river banks and avoiding floods.
Reducing submergence of adjoining agricultural lands.
Protection of crops being cultivated along the river bank.
Reducing aggradations of river level.
Generating useful economic resource for construction.
Generating employment.

2.2 NEED OF THE PROJECT
In India, sand mining is carried out over the years. But earlier the sand mining did not
require any Environmental Clearance. It is regulated by laws in many places, but is still
often done illegally. Earlier for excavation of riverbed sand, royalty contract was given by
Department of Mines & Geology. Uncontrolled sand mining from the riverbed leads to the
destruction of the entire river system. To control illegal mining, Hon'ble Supreme Court
stated in order given dated 27.02.2012 that all mining projects of minor minerals (including
river bed mining) and their renewal, irrespective of the size of the lease would henceforth
require prior Environment Clearance. Therefore, Ministry of Environment, Forests and
Climate Change (MoEF&CC) has issued guidelines on 18.05.2012 for Implementation of
Apex Court Order for mining projects of minor minerals for their Environmental Clearance.
Therefore, the riverbed sand mining project requires prior Environmental Clearance.
To regulate and minimize the impacts of riverbed sand mining; mining will be carried out
scientifically and systematically as per approved Mining Plan.
2.3 AMENITIES/ FACILITIES
The site services like rest room shelter, first-aid facility, mines office etc. will be provided to
workers at the mine site during operational phase. As per the guidelines no permanent
structure will be constructed within the lease area, interrupting the river course.
Temporary structures/ tents will be used as rest room for mine workers. In the rest room
drinking water and first aid facility will be provided.
However, the nearest basic amenities/ facilities available within 10km study area and is

2.5.2 LOCAL GEOLOGY
The litho units encountered in the riverbed and surrounding areas belongs to the Siwalik
Super group. The sediments are river borne and has deposited in the riverbed and the flood
plains. The different formations of the area belong to Siwalik Super group and are a mixture
of boulders, pebbles, sand, silt and clay. The following sequences have been observed in the
area.
Soil/ Alluvium
Sand
There is no clear demarcation between the litho units. They have been deposit in a mixed
form. The Litho- Units exposed around the riverbed belong to Siwalik Super group the
mineral boulders, Gravel and Sand have formed by weathering of rocks and then deposition
on the flood plains of the rivers originated from the Siwaliks, these have been washed by
rainwater during rainy season and deposited in river bed in the from of boulder, gravels
and sand of different sizes and shapes. These minerals are sorted by screening. The max
depth of the minerals is not known.

Soil /alluvium varying in thickness from 2-4 constitute the top horizons in the area suitable
for agriculture. Yamuna River meanders through the area exposing the alluvium and soil at
the banks. Boulders, gravel and sand is found in the river bed. Boulder, gravel and sand is
deposited up to great depths. this bed is presently dry and water flows only during the
rainy season the sand exposed in the river bed of Yamuna and surrounding area is the
product of the deposition of the sediments brought and deposited in flood plains river of
the river Yamuna these sediments area of recent geological formation . The litho units
exposed within the river and surrounding areas have formed as water borne sediments
brought by flood water during rainy season every year and deposited in river bed
Geological map section are enclosed.
Sand
Sediments of various sizes and in mixed from are predominantly deposited in the river bed
and outside the river bed as well in the central part there is no perfect classification
between boulders, cobbles pebbles and sand. They are deposited in a mixed state. The
classification is done by grab mining and the sediments are passed through different sieves
in the screening plants.
Sediments of various sizes and in mixed from are predominantly deposited in the river bed
and there is no perfect classification between sediments these may be called as coarse sand,
medium sand and fine sand.

2.6 MINING
The proposed project is confined to dry bed extraction of sand from the river bed. The
operation will be carried out by semi-mechanized method. Sand excavation will be carried
out up to a depth of 3.0 m or 2.0 m above the ground water table or whichever is less by
using light-weight excavators. Mining will be carried out in blocks for convenient, easy
operation supervision, management and safety.
2.6.1 METHOD OF WORKING
As per Haryana Minor Mineral Concession, Stocking and Transportation of Minerals, and
Prevention of Illegal Mining Rules, 2012 extraction is limited to 3.0m depth only. The total
length of the area as per the description report stretches in the length of 1.80 km.
The salient features of mode of working as per approved modified Mining Plan are:-
The mining will be carried out by forming only one bench because mining is limited up
to 3.0 m depth from river bed.
The height of the benches will be restricted to 3.0 m and width will be approx 20 m.
Bench will advance parallel to the bank of the river.
Extraction activities will start from the upstream to downstream side. This will not
obstruct the movement of water, if any, during monsoon period in the river course.
Roads in the lease area for the movement of loaded trippers/ trucks will not have slopes
more than 1 in 20.
Roads will be properly maintained & water sprinkling will be done for dust suppression.
Every working will have its own approach roads, which already exists and is well
connected to main highways.
Light weight excavators will be used for loading of mineral in tippers/ trucks.
No drilling/ blasting are required as the material is loose in nature.

The year wise development plan is enclosed as Annexure – XXXVI.
2.7 CONCEPTUAL MINING PLAN
The digging depth will be restricted to 3.0m only or 2.0m above the ground water table.
This will be further replenished to approx. 116% during rainy season. As the lease period is
7 years, some of the area will be left un-worked at the end of lease period.
2.7.1 FINAL SLOPE ANGLE TO BE ADOPTED
The height of the bench will be limited to 3.0m and width will be around 20.0m. However,
the height of the bank with respect to river bed is varying from 4.0 to 6.0m. River bank side
will be protected by 7.5m offset. Natural slope of river bank will not be disturbed. This will
avoid collapsing of bank and will also prevent erosion.
2.7.2 ULTIMATE EXTENT & SIZE OF PIT
The pit limit will be restricted up to 3.0m below the ground level or 2.0m above the water
table.

3.0 DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT
3.1 INTRODUCTION
EIA process requires the primary baseline data collection to know the information on the
biophysical, social and economic settings of the mine site. The criteria of the baseline data
collection was based on the impact zone on both the sides of the river bank which was
expected to be around the 2-3 km from both the sides. The stations were considered based
on their sensitivity by considering the close proximity with the sensitive zones like reserve
forests and expected high pollutant concentration zones like Naka etc. The baseline data
have been collected as per CPCB guidelines in the month of October, November and
December’ 2017.
The following criteria were adopted while selecting the monitoring locations:-
One location on the upwind depending upon the wind profile/ pattern.
Two locations on the downwind side depending upon wind pattern (predominant
directions).
One location covering the sensitive areas within the vicinity.
One location covering the transportation convergences route.
One location covering the major habitation.
One location on the downwind direction where the max GLC’s are falling.
The monitoring station selected is as described under:-

Results & Conclusions: - The result obtained is compared with the standard soil
classification given Agriculture Soil Limits. It has been observed that the soil is Clay TO
Sandy in texture and neutral in nature. The nutrient and organic matter contents are
medium and the soil is normally fertile.
3.5 WATER ENVIRONMENT
The purpose of the study is to:-
1. Assess the water quality characteristics for critical parameters;
2. Evaluate the impacts on agriculture productivity, habitat conditions, recreational
resources and aesthetics of the vicinity; and
3. Predict the likely impacts on water quality due to the mining and other related
activities.
3.5.1 WATER SAMPLE ANALYSIS
Six ground water samples and five surface water samples were collected as grab samples
and were analyzed for various parameters as per the procedures specified in “Standard
Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater” published by American Public
Health Association (APHA). Different physico-chemical parameters of surface water and
ground water during study period were compared with standard at each monitoring
stations and shown in the Table 3.5 and 3.6.

3.5.2 RESULT
Surface Water
The results obtained for the collected samples indicate that the surface water qualities were
found to be well within the prescribed standards Limits (Class C).
Ground Water
The analysis results indicate that pH and conductivity of the groundwater was to be in
range of 7.86 – 8.20 and 513 - 872µS/cm. The TDS were found to be in the range of 307 -
521 mg/l. Total Hardness was found 168.30 mg/l in Village Raipur Rani and 289.80 mg/ l in
Village Bharoli. Other parameters like Chlorides, Sulphate, Calcium, Magnesium and
Fluoride were observed to be well within the prescribed limits.
3.6 AIR ENVIRONMENT
The prime objective of the baseline air monitoring was to evaluate the existing air quality of
the area. This will also be useful for assessing the conformity to standards of the ambient air
quality during the operation of the mine.
The baseline status of the air quality has been assessed though a scientifically designed
ambient air quality monitoring network based on the following considerations:-
Meteorological conditions on synoptic scale;
Topography of the study area;
Representatives of regional background air quality for obtaining baseline status; and
Representatives of likely impact areas.
3.6.1 MICRO-METEOROLOGICAL DATA
An auto weather monitoring stations was installed at Mine Site during the study period to
record various meteorological parameters on hourly basis to understand the wind pattern,
temperature variation and relative humidity variation. The hourly meteorological data
recorded is enclosed as Annexure – XIX.

The prominent wind direction during this period was from WNW to ESE. The average wind
speed recorded during the study period was 1.3m/s. Calm conditions prevailed for 1.70%.
3.6.2 AMBIENT AIR QUALITY DATA
Ambient air quality monitoring stations were selected on the basis of surface influence,
demographic influence and meteorological influence. The sites were chosen at Mine Site,
Village Rattewali, Parwala, Rajpura PF near Bharoli, Raipur Rani, Alipur and Khatauli. The
ambient air monitoring has been carried out at six locations covering one complete season
i.e. October, November and December’ 2017.

Study of biological environment is one of the important aspects for the Environmental
Impact Assessment, in view of the need for conservation of Environmental quality and
biodiversity of particular geographical area. Ecological systems show complex
interrelationship between biotic and Abiotic components including dependence,

competition and mutualism. Biotic components comprises of plant and animal communities
which interact not only within and between themselves but also with the Abiotic
components viz. Physical and Chemical; components of the environment.
Generally, biological communities are the good indicators of climatic and edaphic factors.
Studies on biological aspects of ecosystems are important in Environmental Impact
Assessment for safety of natural flora and fauna. Information on the impact of
environmental stress on the community structure serves as an inexpensive and efficient
early warning system to check the damage to a particular ecosystem. The biological
environment includes mainly terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The animal and plant
communities exist in their natural habitats in well‐organized manner.
Their natural settings can be disturbed by any externally induced anthropological activities
or by naturally induced calamities or disaster. So, once this setting is disturbed, it becomes
practically impossible or takes a longer time to come to its original state. Plants and animals
are more susceptible to environmental stress. A change in the composition of biotic
communities reflected by a change in the distribution pattern of natural species of flora and
fauna existing in the ecosystem. The sensitivity of animal and plant species to the changes
occurring in their existing ecosystem can therefore, be used for monitoring Environmental
Impact Assessment studies of any project.
3.8.1 OBJECTIVES OF BIOLOGICAL STUDY
The main objectives of biological study were:-
To collect the baseline data for the study along with a description of the existing terrestrial,
wetland and aquatic biodiversity.
To assess the scheduled species in the proposed site (rare, endangered, critically

Tehsil - Barwla, District: Panchkula, Haryana, in accordance with the guidelines issued
by the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change, CPCB, and SPCB duringthe
study period.
A preliminary survey of the study area has been performed to get a general picture of
the landscapes in vegetation. Traverses have been taken within different zones of the
study area to note major vegetation patterns and plant communities including their
growth form and dominant species. A forest inventory is “an attempt to describe the
quantity and quality of forest trees and many of the characteristics of the land area upon
which the trees are grown.” The objective this floral inventory of the study area, is to
provide a complete checklist of floristic structure within the buffer zone (10 km radial
distance) from project site for formulating effective management and conservation
measures.
3.8.2.1 Floristic Study
The present study on the floral assessment for the project activity is based on field
survey of the area. The survey of biological parameters has been conducted within the
buffer zone (10 km radial distance)from the project site at Village Rattewali, Block-
PKL/B-10 (Area 45.00 ha), Tehsil: Brawala, District: Panchkula, Haryana, in accordance
with the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change
and SPCB during the study period.
Floral study survey was made to assess the existing plant species in all accessible areas
within the 10 km radius by the crisscross method of field exploration. The local flora
was identified by their morphological observation, such as its size and shape of the leaf,
flowers, fruits and their bark features of stem and also documented their habitat viz.
Trees, Shrubs, Herbs, Grasses and Climbers etc. Photo documentation of some of the key
species presents the study area was also done.
3.8.2.2 Methodology for Phyto-sociological study
The study was aimed at enumeration of the available plant resources and obtaining a
broad
Representation of the existing floristic variations in the project affected area and
surrounding the project affected area. Enumeration of the plant wealth was done by
surveying the area through walking followed by collection and identification of plant
specimens. Phyto-sociological aspects of the study were carried out by perambulating
and sampling through quadrates method. Sample plots were selected in such a way to

get maximum representation of different types of vegetation and plots were laid out in
different parts of the areas within the project affected area as well as the surrounding
project affected area.
Selection of sites for vegetation data was done by random sampling procedure.
Accordingly, equal number of quadrates of 10 m x 10 m for the study of tree layer in the
project affected area and surrounding project affected area were laid. Within these
sample plots, sub-plots of 5 m x 5 m were laid out randomly for studying the shrub layer
and regeneration of tree species. For information on ground layer including herbaceous
species, quadrates of 1 m x 1 m size were laid out within the tree quadrate.
All species encountered during the transect walk were recorded. The girth at breast
height (GBH) of all individuals in each quadrate was measured for all species of trees
and woody climbers. All individuals with GBH > 10 cm were considered and recorded as
trees (Parthasarathy and Karthikeyan, 1997). Individuals below 10 cm GBH were
considered as saplings and shrubs. This concept was tested further during the fieldwork.
Basal area of plants was measured following Philips (1959). The plants were identified
using floras by Haines (1921-25), Saxena and Brahmam (1994-96).
Specimens of the plants, which could not be identified or confirmed in the field were
collected, preserved following standard methods and identified later. Abundance,
relative abundance, density and relative density of each species for each of the
locations/ zones were calculated using the numerical data. The data collected in the field
was analyzed for secondary parameters such as density, frequency and abundance
following standard phyto-sociological methods. Shannon-Wiener diversity index
(Shannon and Wiener, 1963) was calculated for all life forms following:-
Table 3.16: Estimation of Phyto-sociological Parameters
1 Frequency (%) = (No. of quadrates of occurrence of the species X 100)/ Total No. of Quadrates
sampled
2 Abundance = Total No. of individuals of the species / No. of quadrates of Occurrence
3 *Density = Total No. of individuals of the species / Total No. of quadrates sampled
4 Relative Frequency = (Frequency of the given species X 100) / Sum of all frequencies
5 Relative Density = (Density of the given species X 100) / Sum of all densities
6 Relative Abundance = (Abundance of species X 100) / Sum of all abundances
7 Basal Area = (GBH)2 / 4Π
8 Dominance = Total Basal Area / Total area sampled
9 Relative Dominance = (Dominance of given species X 100)/ Dominance of all species

3.8.2.3 FAUNA
To prepare a detailed report on the status of wildlife biodiversity in 10 km radial area
(Study Area) around the proposed Greentech Mega Food Park to assess the impacts due
to construction activity and evolve suitable mitigation measures to protect and conserve
wildlife biodiversity following
Components were studied:
a) Wildlife survey (diversity)
b) Habitat study (feeding, breeding, roosting areas)
c) Migratory paths of major wildlife species
d) Food & feeding habits of wildlife species in last few years
e) Distribution of birds
f) Rare & Endangered species of fauna
g) Specific local characteristics of biodiversity in study area
3.8.2.4 Methodology for Faunal Study
A linear transect of 1 km each was chosen for sampling at each site. Each transect was
trekked for 1.5 h for sampling of animals through the following methods. For sampling
butterflies, the standard ‘Pollard Walk’ method was employed and all the species were
recorded daily. Voucher specimens of the species that could not be identified in the field
were collected using of a butterfly net besides photographing them. For sampling birds,
‘point sampling’ along the fixed transect (foot trails) was carried out. All the species of
birds were observed through a binocular and identified with the help of field guides and
photographs. For sampling mammals, ‘direct count on open width (20m) transect’ was
used. In addition, information on recent sightings/records of mammals by the villagers

3.8.2.5 Assessment of Rare, Endangered and threatened Flora and Fauna
As per the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 and their subsequent amendments, schedule
category for wild plant and animals also consider for assessing the sensitive species. The
scheduled species are given for the assessment of the any available sensitive species.
This Act is enacted for protection of plants and animal species. It has six schedules
which give varying degrees of protection. Schedule I and part II of Schedule II provide
absolute protection - offences under these are prescribed the highest penalties. Species
listed in Schedule III to Schedule IV are also protected, but the penalties are much lower.
Schedule V includes the animals which may be hunted. The plants in Schedule VI are
prohibited from cultivation and planting.
3.8.2.6 Assessment of sensitive habitat
The riparian patches, protected areas (wildlife sanctuary & national park) and other
specific habitat condition are some those places which are sensitive place for any small
changes due to the developmental activity. During the baseline study we have already
observed such habitat within the study area.
Land use pattern of this region was dominated by agriculture land. There is a Khol Hi
Raitan Wildlife sanctuary 1.98 km away from the project boundary.

3.8.3 SOCIAL/ AGRO FORESTRY
In India, natural forests are being conserved primarily for the environmental benefits.
Serious efforts are also being done to plant large number of trees outside forest under social
forestry programs to increase the tree cover and fulfill demand of various forest produce
required by the people and forest based industries. Agricultural fields are one of the
potential areas, where large scale planting of trees can be taken up along with the
agricultural crops. Agro‐forestry models adopted by the farmers in Haryana state are highly
lucrative, therefore, attracting farmers in a big way.

Endagered Flora: No endangered and endemic flora was recorded from core and
bufferzone of the project area
Endagered Fauna: Three species i.e. Python molurus, Pavo cristatus and Panthrea pardus
fusca listed in the Schedule –I under wildlife protection Act, 1972.
Location of National Park/Sanctuaries
The nearest Protected area from project boundary is Khol Hi Raitan WLS (1.9Km, N
direction). As per the ESZ rules restricted area for mining activity is 1000 m from outside
the notified ESZ Boundary. Project site is around 1.98 km away from the ESZ boundary.
3.10.12 CONCLUSION
Baseline study for the biological environment was conducted to assess the existing
condition of the 10 km study area of the proposed sand mining project. There are no any
threatened plant species has been recorded. Khol hi raitan wildlife sanctuary near about
1.98 km (crow fly distance) was found.
In the faunal study total three animals species were found in which are under schedule-I (as
per WPA 1972). Hence, the wildlife conservation plan of Rs. 15.00.

Livestock: - The study area includes mostly non-urban area where cattle wealth is of great
importance to the economy of the study region especially in agriculture. Every farmer usually has at
least a cow or buffalo and a pair of bullocks, which perform a variety of functions, chief among them
being sloughing, harrowing and carrying Bullock-carts, agricultural implements etc. Agriculture is
up to an appreciable extent. Goats are used mainly for milking and meat purpose, donkey and
camels are used for carrying loads. Live stock rising is an economic activity persuaded by certain
sections of community, who have made grazing and breeding of livestock as their traditional
occupation. Livestock has proved to be a very valuable asset to the farmers. It provides them with
the draught power required for cultivation and an additional means of supplementing their income.

4.0 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND MITIGATION
MEASURES
4.1 GENERAL
Depending on the nature of activities and baseline environment status, the impacts were
assessed. The following parameters are of significance in the Environmental Impact
Assessment and are being discussed in detail:-
1. Land Environment;
2. Water Environment;
3. Air Environment;
4. Noise Environment;
5. Biological Environment;
6. Socio-Economic Environment.
4.2 LAND ENVIRONMENT
4.2.1 SOURCE
The river bed mining does not involve any overburden/ waste. Thus, no waste dump sites
are needed. Main aspects are excavation, loading & transportation activities.
4.2.2 IMPACT PREDICTION & MITIGATION MEASURES
Impact Mitigation Measures
Obstruction in river flow/ course.
Erosion of channel bed and banks.
Increase in channel slope.
Change in channel morphology.
Impact on stream’s physical
characteristics, such as channel
geometry, bed elevation in stream
roughness of the bed, flow velocity,
discharge capacity, sediment
transportation capacity etc.
Impact on ecological equilibrium of
riverine regime.
Mining of minerals will be started from dip side towards rise at the
centre and also laterally in 1.0m slice. Unwanted material or spillage (if
any) will not be stacked by the side of the excavation voids created.
Excavation will be carried out in a manner so that water flow/ course
will not be obstructed.
Mining is to be done leaving safety barrier or offset on both sides and
maximum barrier should be on concave side of river preferably the flow
channel (excavation void created) should be kept straight so as to help
avoid erosion as side cutting or collapsing.
Safety Zone or Buffer area will be created from the river banks to
minimize the slope instability & erosion and to increase the stability of
structures. These safety zones will not be mined out.
Quantities will be strictly limited so that sand accumulation rates are
sufficient to avoid extended impacts on channel morphology.

Mining will be carried out as per approved Modified Mining Plan in
scientific and systematic way.
Sand mining will be restricted down to 3.0m below river bed or 2.0m
above the ground water table, whichever less. Therefore, the mining
will not intersect the groundwater table.
Loss of aquatic habitat is minimized because the river bed mining will
be carried only in dry bed which will not disturb the riverine ecosystem.
The mine working will remain confined to river bed only and in no case
mining will disturb any surface area outside the river bed which may
affect topography or drainage.
The mining from river bed will not have any impact on natural drainage
of surrounding area as the excavated sand from river bed is filled with
first heavy flow in river during monsoon season
4.3 WATER ENVIRONMENT
4.3.1 SOURCE
Dry bed mining;
No intersection of water table;
No discharge in the river.
4.3.2 IMPACT PREDICTION & MITIGATION MEASURES
Impact Mitigation Measures
Flow pattern might be changed due to river
bed mining.
By mining activities depth will be increased
which may increase the flow velocity.
No diversion is proposed. There will not be any adverse impact on
flow pattern, surface hydrology and ground water regime.
Mining activities will be restricted to 3.0m depth, which will not cause
much change in flow pattern of the river.
An offset of 7.5m will be left from both sides of river, which will
minimize the chances of bank failure.
Change in surface water quality and ground
water quality
There is no change in surface water quality as river is seasonal.
Ground water quality will not be affected due to mining activities as it
is restricted to 3.0m depth and the water level is 8.0m below the
surface of river bed.
A safety zone of 50m around the any structure will be created and it
will be left un-mined.
The mining will not be allowed below the water table.
Regular monitoring of water samples will be done as precautionary
measures.

Impact on Ground water recharge potential
as the thickness of the natural filter
materials (sediments) is reduce causing less
infiltration.
The depth of mining in the river bed should not exceed up to 3.0m
depth or water level whichever is less.
Mining will be done as per approved Modified Mining Plan and
applicable Rule & Regulation, so that there is no damage on ground
water recharge potential due to sand mining.
Waste Water Discharge Modular Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) well mounted above bed level
(The same will be mobilized in a non-working area) will be used;
hence no sewage/ liquid effluent will be generated. Hence,
contamination is not expected due to percolation.
4.4 AIR ENVIRONMENT
4.4.1 AIR QUALITY IMPACT PREDICTIONS (AQIP)
The major sources of air pollution from the mine are dust generation due to loading &
transportation of mineral and wind erosion of exposed material. In this present study,
United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA – 42 series) approved
mathematical equations, have been used to predict emission rates for different operations
in mining including the mineral transportation.
4.4.2 DETAILS OF EMISSIONS
The sources of pollutants were identified. Mineral excavation was identified as area source
emission, loading and unloading of minerals as point source and transportation routes were
identified as line source. Appropriate mathematical equations will be used to calculate the
emission rates for the various mining operations. Due to low sulphur content in diesel and
petrol, the SO2 emission due to vehicular movements was not considered.

4.4.3 AIR QUALITY MODELLING
In order to predict the particulate and gaseous emissions, AERMOD Version 7.1.0 model was
used to predict changes in air quality i.e., maximum ground level concentration (GLC’s) of
PM10, PM2.5, NOx and CO due to the proposed mining activity. The inputs required for the
model is: -
Hourly meteorological data
Source data
Receptor data
Programme control parameters
The GLC’s were predicted for the scenario, with EMP in the mine.

The ground level concentrations are computed for 24-hr average. The maximum ground
level concentrations of PM10, PM2.5, NOx and CO from the different mining activities for
study period with EMP are given in table 4.1 and were observed to be 4.9 g/m3, 2.2g/m3,
and 3g/m3 respectively. The maximum GLC’s were falling within the pit area/ lease area

4.5 NOISE ENVIRONMENT
4.5.1 SOURCE
Main noise generating sources are operation of mining equipments and movements of
vehicles. Transportation activities are the main source of noise production.
4.5.2 IMPACT PREDICTION
To understand the combined effect of these noise levels on the nearby community, Custic
3.2 (Lakes Environmental – USEPA approved) scientific model has been used to estimate
the noise levels at different distances from the proposed mine site. All the major noise
generating machineries like excavator, tippers/ trucks, loader etc., are considered in this
model. The noise level at various locations due to different sources is calculated based on
the following formula:
Lp2 = Lp1 – 20 log (r2 / r1) – Ae1, 2
Where, Lp1 and Lp2 - Sound Levels at points located at distance r1 / r2 from the source
Ae1,2- Excess Attenuation due to Environmental Conditions.
Combined effects from different sources at various locations are then computed by the
following equation:
Lp (total) = 10 log (10 Lpx/10 + 10 Lpy/10 +10 Lpz/10))
Where,Lpx, Lpy, Lpz are noise pressure levels at a point due to different sources.
The predicted noise levels based on the above analysis in the nearby villages, considering
that there is no attenuation on account of barriers or green belt/plantation will be as
follows:-
Table 4.4: Cumulative Noise Level due to Various Noise Generating Sources
[All values in dB(A)]

Village Rajpur Rani 54.2 26.4 54.2
Village Alipur 53.8 28 53.8
Village Khelprali 53.2 28 53.2
From the above, it is clearly seen that there will be no significant impact on the
surrounding community due to noise from the proposed activity.
Further due to natural attenuation effects, by proper green belt development, design/
maintenance of machines, etc., the impact on noise levels will be minimal.

4.5.3 MITIGATION MEASURES
Impact Mitigation Measures
Noise impact due to mining
activities
Noise impact due to vehicular
movement
Auditory impact
The noise levels from all these sources are periodical and restricted to
particular operation.
The noise measurement data indicated that present noise levels in the study
area is within the permissible limits of National Ambient Noise Quality
Standards.
Periodical monitoring of noise will be done.
No other equipments except the transportation vehicles and excavator for
loading will be allowed.
Noise generated by these equipments will be intermittent and does not cause
much adverse impact.
Proper maintenance of all equipments/ machines will be carried out which
help in reducing noise during operations.
Plantation will be taken up along the approach roads and vicinity of river
bank. The plantation minimizes propagation of noise and also arrests dust.
Ear muffs will be provided while working on mining equipments.
Regular health checkups will be conducted for any such health implications.
4.6 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT
Impacts due to proposed mining project may be changes in ambient air quality and
degradation of vegetation, due to gaseous emission and pollutants deposited on the leaflet
of plant which affects the photosynthesis rate of flora and ultimately decrease the growth of
vegetation of surrounding area of buffer zone. Impact of Noise due to machinery and
transportation of minerals increases the accidental mortality of fauna and also chances to
decrease of habitation of local residential faunal groups of the study area. However few
impacts were indentified due to mining activity are as follows:-

Loss of adjacent
forest habitats and
biodiversity
The proposed mining
activities may affect the
surrounding habitats &
biodiversity.
As the proposed riverbed sand mine lease area is not Consists of any
critical / unique habitat or designated Forest land vulnerable to the
fragmentation or isolation. Therefore the project activities will not
have any impacts like loss of true forest habitat, floral species and
associated faunal diversity. However 33% area of the mine will be
covered under the green belt. Further impacts due to the project
activities can be mitigated through effective and additional
plantation with variety of species.

Loss of vegetation

biodiversity (core
zone)
The vegetation in the area of
riverbed sand mine were
scattered in the nature impact
on associated biodiversity of
the core zone area is
observed as negligible.
There is no any clearing of existing sparse vegetation within the
lease area so no major impact on floral composition and associated
faunal species at local level.
Now it was suggested local trees species like: Azadirachta indica,
Cassia fistula, Delbergia sissoo, Delonix regia, Polyalthia longifolia)
will be planted near mine area and villages, to reduce the impact of
project activities in the surroundings near villages of the mine site.
Impact Evaluation Mitigation
Changes in ambient
air quality (dust &
gases) and
degradation of
vegetation
Due to the mining project
transportation of sand with
the movement of vehicles will
increase by two folds in the
lease area and surroundings.
Dust concentration is expected
to increase because of heavy
vehicle movements in the area.
Greenbelt development program with specific plant species which
can act as bio-filters can further reduce the level of pollutant
concentration and also will improve the overall ambient air quality
in and around the project environment. Provision of spraying
water can help to reduce dust emission on roads. Moreover, the
following tabulated plant species suggested includes few shrubs
and trees species of wild, common and species of ornamental
values for effective dust control. The level of dust control
efficiency of these species ranges from minimum of 6.12% by
Acacia nilotica to maximum of 35.39% by Holoptelea integrifolia.
The area of plantation suggested mainly focused along the road
side where the vehicle pressure is likely to increase during the
mining activities especially during sand transportation.
1. In each location, a wider range plant species are suggested to
maintain the floral diversity and improve the survival rate.
Therefore, the species list includes predominately wild and few
common tree species with high rate of dust control efficiency
(Cassia fistula-23.03%, Butea monosperma- 24.44%, Azadirachta
indica -25.54. Polyalthia longifolia- 29.84%, Terminalia arjuna-
30.54% and Holoptelea integrifolia 35.39%).
2. The location 2 includes the stretches of all the roads passing
through the village area which are under the influences of
project related activities mainly vehicle pressure due to
transporting sand. A list of 11 species has been recommended to
develop avenue plantation along the road sides.

of seven species were identified as species which
are able to absorb SO2 emission also.
2. Therefore those species listed below are suggested
to grow in and around the villages and other public
places like schools, hospitals, health Centre and
community centers of nearby villages. Further
minimize the noise level and also provide habitat
for many avifauna & other faunal groups and
improve the overall faunal diversity of the
surrounding area.
Impact Evaluation Mitigation
Accidental
mortality of faunal
groups
One of the likely impacts that would
affect the animal species is road
mortality due to vehicle movements /
transportation. Low abundance
status of mainly amphibians and
mammals, the expected impact in the
form of road kill on these faunal
groups may not be very high.
Faunal survey in the study area reported low
abundance and species richness of all faunal groups,
therefore increasing vehicle movements due to
proposed mining and transportation of materials may
not have high impact. However the following
implication will further reduce possibility of this type
of impacts:
1. It is suggested to dugout 1m width and depth of
trenches on either side of the roads which are
under intensive use and these trenches can be
connected with culverts at regular intervals (at 0.5
km distance) to facilitate lesser vertebrates to
cross the road without any accidental kill.
2. The rain water stagnated in the trenches will also
retain moisture level for longer period to support
the road side plantation to gain faster growth rate.
3. Further it is suggested to put sign boards and
provide strict instructions to the drivers to
maintain speed limits of the vehicles which will
reduce the road mortality rate as well as spillage of
material.

3. Immigration/ Emigration of workers:-
Large number of population commutes from
Tehsil Barwala in search of work. Labour
migration (mainly Males) from smaller
villagers to urban/ developing areas in search
of work is a general problem.
There will not be influx of
population due to the project as
local workers will be put on roll.
Hence, will not impact the existing
folkways of interaction in the
society.
The labour migration in Tehsil
Barwala needs to be checked
through creating employment
opportunities in the district. The
proposed project aims to control
emigration of 73* workers at least.
The probable non - emigrating
population, due to the proposed
project, contribute in the
regional growth.

Magnitude of impact is moderate.
A direct positive impact due to -better
jobs & business activity. Residents of the
local region and tehsil will be put on roll
for the mining activity.
Therefore a minimum of approx. Rs.
15,207,300 lakh. Of direct money
incomes could be generated by the local
people in the region through the
operation of the mining process.
Labour employed will be
constantly under health
surveillance and
remuneration with all
concerned benefits and other
policies will be as applicable
to mine worker.
5 Indirect Employment
A permanent addition through mining to
the warehousing activities and logistics
analysis of value chain will lead to
commercial sales for infrastructural and
household use.
Indirect employment/ Income:-
The transportation of the mineral will be
carried out by using 284 trucks a day,
thus creating the employment
opportunity for the truck drivers (1)
navigator (1) and their helpers (1) in
each truck.
Logistics: Approx. 284 truckers
A total of approx. 110 people will find
indirect employment/ income
opportunities in the region.
This would impact the
income–expenditure and also
affect micro investments-
savings patterns of the region.
This would create Indigenous
technologies for sustainable
development.
#Proposed Manpower [183] * [277] (Calculated at the minimum wage rate per day of highly skilled,

and appropriate actions will be initiated. Greenbelt will be developed for minimizing dust
propagation.
6.5.2 MONITORING OF WATER QUALITY
6.5.2.1 Monitoring of Ground Water
The monitoring of groundwater is the most important tool to find out the depletion/
increase in level of water table. Water table will be monitored at regular interval to check
the behavior pattern of the water table. It is suggested to collect water samples and analyze.
Records of analysis will be maintained.
6.5.2.2 Monitoring of Surface Water
Samples will be collected from well-mixed section of the river (main stream) and will be
analyzed.
6.5.3 MONITORING NOISE LEVELS
Noise levels in the work zone environment shall be monitored. The frequency will be once
in three months in the work zone. Similarly, ambient noise levels near habitations will also
be monitored once in three months. Audiometric tests will be conducted periodically for the
employees working close to the high noise sources.
6.6 REPORTING SCHEDULES OF THE REPORTING DATA
It is proposed that voluntary reporting of environmental performance with reference to the
EMP will be undertaken.
The Environmental Monitoring Cell will co-ordinate all monitoring programmes at site and
data thus generated will be regularly furnished to the State regulatory agencies.
The frequency of reporting will be on six monthly basis to the local state PCB officials and to
the Regional Office of MoEF&CC. The Environmental Audit reports will be prepared for the
entire year of operations and will be regularly submitted to regulatory authorities.

6.7 CONCLUSION
Post Environmental monitoring is an essential step in the EIA process if the predicted
impacts, the efficiency of mitigation measures and the shortcomings of prediction methods,
measures and even regulations are to be verified and EIA practice improved. Environmental
indicators could contribute to designing and evaluating monitoring programs, thus
improving establishment of the cause effect relationship and the reporting and
communication of environmental data.
The Environmental Monitoring Cell will co-ordinate all monitoring programmes at site and
data thus generated will be furnished as per statutory requirements. The frequency of
reporting will be on half yearly basis to the Haryana State Pollution Control Board and to
Regional Office of MoEF&CC, Chandigarh. The Environmental audit reports will be prepared
for the entire year of operations and will be regularly submitted to regulatory authorities.

taken for the dust suppression
while transporting the mineral?
The Consultant replied that to suppress the dust
emission generated from mineral transporting
vehicles, regular sprinkling of water will be
carried out on the motorable/ haul roads for
which 86 KLD water will be provided. Every year
about 5000 trees will be planted and about 22,000
trees will be planted in 5 years of local species
after consulting with the forest department. Tree
guards will be erected around the plants for their
protection and survival. Watering of plant will be
done regularly by the gardeners. The mineral
loaded vehicles will be covered by tarpaulin so
that dust would not cause any harm to the health
of villagers and crops. A budget of Rs. 28.00 Lakhs
is also provided for environment protection
measures in the surrounding area.

7.4 OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH HAZARDS
Dry- pit mining by open cast method involves dust generation by excavation, loading and
transportation of mineral. At site, during excavation and loading activity, dust is main
pollutant which affects the health of workers whereas environmental and climatic
conditions also generate the health problems.
Addressing the occupational health hazard means gaining an understanding of the source
(its location and magnitude or concentration), identifying an exposure pathway (e.g. a
means to get it in contact with someone), and determination of likely a receptor (someone
receiving the stuff that is migrating).
Occupational hazard due to sand mining mainly comes under the physical hazards. Possible
physical hazards are as below mention:-
7.4.1 PHYSICAL HAZRADS DUE TO MINING OPERATIONS
Following health related hazards were indentified due to riverbed sand mining operations
to the workers:-
1. Light: - The workers may be exposed to the risk of poor illumination or excessive
brightness. The effects are eye strain, headache, eye pain and lachrymation, congestion
around the cornea and eye fatigue.

2. Heat and Humidity: - The most common physical hazard is heat. The direct effects of
heat exposure are burns, heat exhaustion, heat stroke and heat cramps; the indirect
effects are decreased efficiency, increased fatigue and enhanced accident rates. Heat and
humidity are encountered in hot and humid condition when temperatures and air
temperatures increase in summer time up to 480C or above in the river bed mining area.
3. Eye Irritation: - During the high windy days in summer the sand could be the problems
for eyes like itching and watering of eyes.
4. Respiratory Problems: - Large amounts of dust in air can be a health hazard,
exacerbating respiratory disorders such as asthma and irritating the lungs and
bronchial passages.
5. Noise Induced Hearing Loss: - Machinery is the main source of noise pollution at the
mine site.

7.5 REPLENISHMENT STUDY
Replenishment Rate is the rate at which sand/ gravel is transported into the river channel,
due to sand extraction. MoEF&CC decided to advise all applicants to carry out scientific
replenishment study and submit the report before EAC for the consideration of quantity of
production for mining of Bajri/ River Sand on yearly basis
7.5.1 METHODOLOGY
River Dudhgar Kee Nadi is an ephemeral stream in nature. In ephemeral channels of the
northern Haryana, sediment often moves in a step-wise manner because of transmission
losses Water from storms originating in the upper reaches of a watershed is often
completely absorbed in the channel before reaching the outlet. Therefore, the ability of the
channel to transport sediment is dependent on varying flow as a function of distance along

the channel. Sediment that is eroded, entrained, transported, and deposited by one storm
may be available to subsequent storm events for transport within the channel. Thus, the
transport of sediment in sub-tropical to temperate perennial channels is complicated by
flow sequencing.
Therefore, the methodology adopted for the study is an integrated approach involving:
- Field data collection comprising of 46 cross sections in block (Appendix-II), along the
lease reach of the river showing river bed material (RBM) with present elevations which
when balanced with the next deposition can be quantified as the actual
deposition/replenishment for 2018. Fifteen sand samples for sieve analysis (Appendix-I) i.e.
d10, d30, d50 and d60, uniformity coefficient (Cu) and coefficient of curvature (Cc) was also
determined as an input for estimation of bajri/sand replenishment of river reach under
study.
- Remote sensing was used for identification of watershed area relevant to the mine lease.
The data was used is from the latest satellite imagery of CARTOSAT – 1 of ISRO having a grid
of 30 m & SRTM, NASA at grid of 80 metres & computer aided drainage analysis system.
- Estimation of catchment yield and bed load transport:- The catchment yield has been
computed using the Strange’s runoff method (Strange’s Monsoon runoff curves) for the
runoff coefficient. The iso-pluvial maps of IMD have been used for estimation of catchment
yield and peak flood discharge for the study area by various methods like Dickens, Jarvis,
and Rational formula at 25, 50 and 100 years return period. The estimation of bed load
transport comprises of use of analytical models namely the Einstein, Meyer Peter and
Ackers & White’s equation for calculation of bed load transport.

The uniformity coefficient Cu is defined as the ratio of D60 by D10. So when Cu is greater than
4 to 6, it is understood as a well graded soil and when the Cu is less than 4, they are
considered to be poorly graded or uniformly graded. Uniformly graded in the sense, the
soils have got identical size of the particles. Another coefficient to measure gradation is: Cc
is equal to (D30 square)/(D60 into D10) where coefficient of gradation or coefficient of
curvature. For the soil to be uniformly graded the value of coefficient of uniformity Cu has to
be less than 4 and Cc should be in the range of 1 to 3. So higher the value of Cu the larger the
range of the particle sizes in the RBM. So if the Cu value is high it indicates that the RBM
mass consists of different ranges of particle sizes.

7.5.4.2 Sediment Transport Analysis
The sediment transport analysis is based on three different steps with various equations
pertaining to stream process, one dealing with critical dimensionless shear and another on
relative roughness and boundary resistance and the last on bed load equations.
7.5.4.3 Flow Resistance from Relative Roughness
Colebrook-White equation, of which a number of variations exist, has the general form
U/U* = A log (B*relative roughness)
Resistance Factor = velocity / shear velocity = U/U*
Where:
U = velocity
U* = shear velocity
Value varies from about 2 for rough streambeds to 16 for smooth.

U/U* is related to common resistance equations as follows:
Manning's roughness coefficient (n):
U/U* = R(1/6)/(ng0.5)
D'Arcy-Weisbach friction factor (f):
U/U* = (8/f)0.5
Because the Colebrook-White equation is a function of measurable values; depth and
particle size, other roughness coefficients can be made functions of depth and particle size
in generally straight uniform gravel-bed streams where resistance is dominated by
boundary roughness.
7.5.4.4 Shield’s Threshold of Motion Equation
Ds= / ((s - ) g 0.06)(304.8)
Ds=diameter sediment particle (mm)
=shear stress=(g)(depth)(slope) (lb/ft2) (N/m2)
s=density of sediment (5.15 slugs/ft3) or (2560 kg/m3)
=density of water (1.94 slugs/ft3) (1000 kg/m3)
g=gravitational acceleration (32.2 ft/s2) (9.81 m/s2)
0.06 = Shield's parameter typically in the range of 0.04 to 0.07
Conversion Constant 304.8 mm/ft or 1000 mm/m
In gravel-bed streams at bankfull flow the particle at the threshold of motion is often near in
size to the D50 of mobile bed surface material.
7.5.4.5 Bedload Sediment Rate
Three common bed load equations are Ackers and White, Meyer-Peter and Einstein. Many
more equations exist, some of which are more appropriate for different conditions. The
most appropriate for perennial streams applicable to this study is the Meyer-Peter
equation, although calculations have been done for all three. Out of the 3 methods
considered, the Meyer-Peter equation gives the reliable value for bed load sediment rate
calculation. Considering it has the most suitable equation for perennial stream of Haryana.
7.5.5 Results
The sediment transport analysis was performed using “Sediment Equations, version 4.0”
software developed by Department of Natural Resources, Ohio University, USA.

7.5.6 RECOMMENDATION
The estimation of sand replenishment is based on empirical and analytical approaches to
the problem which can be approved for targeted production of 0.95 MCM/ Year as the
estimated annual replenishment of 1.10 MCM is more. The authentic replenishment can
only be established in the post-monsoon period of 2018 after actual verification of the
‘replenishment pits’ and river ‘cross sections’ (difference in elevation) already established
in the field.
The derived replenishment data is based on macro-watershed data taken from satellite
imagery with sample ground truthing and annual average rainfall. The data works out
to be around 116% which after post monsoon study may show some divergence.
7.6 TRAFFIC STUDY
A traffic study is an investigation to evaluate a transportation system. The study is a means
of identifying and documenting any deficiencies or improvements both- operational and
physical - necessary to accommodate current or projected traffic volumes. Traffic impact
study can be used to help evaluate whether the development is appropriate for a site and
what type of transportation improvements may be necessary. It will help:-
To establish the existing trips/ day without the project activity;
To understand the increment on the traffic load due to the project activity;
To know the existing road will sustain or not after the commission of the project.

Level of Service (LOS)
Capacity standards are fixed normally in relation to the Level of Service (LOS) adopted for
design. Six levels of service are recognized commonly designated from A to F. Considering
the need for smooth traffic flow; it is recommended that normally LOS-C be adopted for
design of urban roads. At this level volume of traffic will be around 0.70 times the maximum
capacity. Capacity or Design Service volume is the maximum hourly volume at which vehicle
can reasonably be expected to transfers a point or uniform section of a lane or road way
during a given time period. As per IRC 64: 1990 guidelines, ratio of existing volume of PCU
on roads (V) and its capacity (C) with corresponding level of services (LOS) and their
performance is given below:-

8.0 PROJECT BENEFITS
8.1 GENERAL
The demand of Bajri has been rising in the state as a result of rising in construction
activities and development of the proposed project aims to fulfill the supply of Bajri. Hence,
the fine quality of mineral will be used further for development. The sediment in the form of
River Bed Material (RBM) deposited is of critical importance in civil and other
infrastructural activities. The proposed project lies on the river bed of Dudhgarh kee nadi.
The quality of Bajri is fine and appropriate for the mega infrastructural activities.
The demand for Bajri is ever growing with the growth of the infrastructure sector in our
country. The mineral is used mainly in the construction activities like buildings, bridges etc.
The requirement for the mineral is always high in the nearby cities and towns. Therefore,
there is always a good demand of the mineral in the domestic market. The local region
demand is increasing; hence newer areas for Bajri reserves are approached.
The apparent domestic demand for Bajri is estimated at 125 million tonnes by 2013-14
which will rise to 185 million tonnes in 2018-19. The capacity of proposed project is
19,00,000 tonnes. Hence, the proposed project aims to fill the demand – supply gap through
optimum allocation and excavation of natural resources required to meet the demand
effectively in the local region.
This will also generate much needed employment to the local people. Economy of the area
will get a boost and there will be overall growth of the region in terms of education, health,
training, transport, automobile, industry. The standard of living accordingly will also get an
upliftment on the positive side.
8.2 EMPLOYEMENT
8.2.1 DIRECT EMPLOYMENT
During the operational phase, about 73 people will be employed directly. Considering that
some of the skilled personnel to be employed for the project will be from outside the area
and unskilled/ semiskilled personnel will be from within the study area, the project will add
to the well being of the area. In addition to the workforce the indirect employment will also
be generated for local persons. It will help in bringing prosperity to the area.

8.2.2 INDIRECT EMPLOYMENT
The project will also provide some indirect employment to the people of nearby area of
mine site. Some people will get engaged in some pet shops like tea shop, vehicle repair
centre etc. It will also provide some need based opportunity to the local public. The project
will provide following indirect employment to the local people:-
The bajri available will provide agency employment in the value chain analysis, for place
utility and retail.
Transportation and warehousing in the region required to transfer the mineral will
eventually be needed and therefore trucks and jobs in logistical activities will come up.
There will be development of externalities for the mine workers petty shops (tea, repair
stations for trucks etc.) as supporting services.
As there would be vocational training camps and Technical Training of mining to the
regional people, hence there will be potential manpower available for the proposed and
surrounding mines of the Tehsil.
This would create Indigenous Technologies for sustainable development.

8.3 PLANTATION
The lease area is in the river bed and devoid of any vegetation. Mining activities will not
cause any harm to riparian vegetation cover as the working will not extend beyond the
offset left against the banks. Plantation will be carried out as social forestry programme in
villages, school and the areas allocated by the Panchayat / State authorities. Plantation has
been proposed on both sides of the roads as greenbelt to provide cover against dust
dissemination. A massive plantation will be done nearby the mine area to mitigate the ill-
effects of mining and to improve environment of its surrounding area.
Native plants like Neem, Pipal, Khejri, Mango and other local species will be planted. The
management will give emphasis on plantation and will also motivate local persons for

10.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
10.1 INTRODUCTION
A project specific Environmental Management Plan has been formulated subsequent to an
EIA study as per the requisite Terms of Reference to ensure that the appropriate
environmental management practices are followed in compliance with the environmental
legislation.
It has been evaluated that the study area has not been affected adversely with the proposed
activity and likely to get new economical fillip, not only for the study area but also for the
region as a whole.
Environmental Management for the mining activity is discussed for environmental impact
pertains to the operational phase. Even though is reversible in nature all the impacts will be
visible only during operational phase. The EMP will therefore be initiated during
operational phase.

working will not extend beyond the offset left against the banks.
The lease area is devoid of any vegetation. Hence, It is proposed to develop
social forestry in the approach villages at public places like School, PHC’s,
Panchayat Bhawan with due permission from Panchayat and in consultation
with Forest Department/ local authorities.
A total of about 22,500 trees of native species along with some fruit bearing
and medicinal trees will be planted at various places in a span of five years.
Under the afforestation plan, Plantation in nearby villages and connecting
roads will be done. The implementation for development of greenbelt will be
of paramount importance as it will not only add up as an aesthetic feature
but also act as pollution sink. The species to be grown in the areas will be
dust tolerenent and fast growing species so that a permanent greenbelt is
created. Plantation in the barrier zone and roads is necessary as these area
will contain fine particulates resulting from mining operation and vehicle
movement will also be carried out as social forestry programme in village
school, panchayat, community centre, hospitals etc.

11.2.1 GEOLOGY
11.2.1.1 Local Geology
The litho units encountered in the riverbed and surrounding areas belongs to the Siwalik
Super group. The sediments are river borne and has deposited in the riverbed and the flood
plains. The different formations of the area belong to Siwalik Super group and are a mixture
of boulders, pebbles, sand, silt and clay. The following sequences have been observed in the
area.
Soil/ Alluvium
Sand
There is no clear demarcation between the litho units. They have been deposit in a mixed
form. The Litho- Units exposed around the riverbed belong to Siwalik Super group the
mineral boulders, Gravel and Sand have formed by weathering of rocks and then deposition
on the flood plains of the rivers originated from the Siwaliks, these have been washed by
rainwater during rainy season and deposited in river bed in the from of boulder, gravels and
sand of different sizes and shapes. These minerals are sorted by screening. The max depth
of the minerals is not known.
Soil /alluvium varying in thickness from 2-4 constitute the top horizons in the area suitable
for agriculture. Yamuna River meanders through the area exposing the alluvium and soil at
the banks. Boulders, gravel and sand is found in the river bed. Boulder, gravel and sand is
deposited up to great depths. this bed is presently dry and water flows only during the
rainy season the sand exposed in the river bed of Yamuna and surrounding area is the
product of the deposition of the sediments brought and deposited in flood plains river of
the river Yamuna these sediments area of recent geological formation . The litho units
exposed within the river and surrounding areas have formed as water borne sediments

Geological map section are enclosed.
Sand
Sediments of various sizes and in mixed from are predominantly deposited in the river bed
and outside the river bed as well in the central part there is no perfect classification
between boulders, cobbles pebbles and sand. They are deposited in a mixed state. The
classification is done by grab mining and the sediments are passed through different sieves
in the screening plants.
Sediments of various sizes and in mixed from are predominantly deposited in the river bed
and there is no perfect classification between sediments these may be called as coarse sand,
medium sand and fine sand.

11.2.1.2 Physiography
The topography of the lease area is flat terrain. Highest elevation is 376 MSL and lowest
is 358 MSL. The climate of the area is semi-arid type. The average mean annual rainfall is
1057 mm.
11.2.2 GEOLOGICAL AND MINEABLE RESERVES
Geological Reserve : 35,10,000 Tonne
Mineable Reserve : 23,73,365 Tonne
Production : 19,00,000 TPA
Life of Mine : 7.0 Years
11.2.3 MINING
As per Haryana Minor Mineral Concession, Stocking and Transportation of Minerals, and
Prevention of Illegal Mining Rules, 2012 extraction is limited to 3.0m depth only. The total
length of the area as per the description report stretches in the length of 1.80 km.
The salient features of mode of working as per approved Modified Mining Plan are:-
The mining will be carried out by forming only one bench because mining is limited up
to 3.0 m depth from river bed.
The height of the benches will be restricted to 3.0 m and width will be approx 20 m.
Bench will advance parallel to the bank of the river.
Extraction activities will start from the upstream to downstream side. This will not
obstruct the movement of water, if any, during monsoon period in the river course.
Roads in the lease area for the movement of loaded trippers/ trucks will not have slopes
more than 1 in 20.
Roads will be properly maintained and water sprinkling will be done for dust
suppression.
Every working will have its own approach roads, which already exists and is well
connected to main highways.
Light weight excavators will be used for loading of mineral in tippers/ trucks.
No drilling/ blasting are required as the material is loose in nature.

Impact Mitigation Measures
Land Environment
Erosion of channel bed and
banks;
Increase in channel slope;
Change in channel
morphology;
Offsets on both side of bank will be left to prevent the collapse of sides.
Excavation will be carried out in a manner so that water flow is not
obstructed.
No loss of top soil is expected as the sand is exposed in river bed surface.
Sand mining will be restricted down to 3.0m below river bed or 2.0m
above the ground water table, whichever less. Therefore, the mining will
not intersect the ground water table.
Dredging will not be resorted for mining of Bajri.
Quantities will be strictly limited so that sand accumulation rates are
sufficient to avoid extended impacts on channel morphology.
Mining will be carried out as per approved mine plan in scientific and
systematic way.
Safety Zone or Buffer area will be created from the river banks to
minimize the slope instability & erosion and to increase the stability of
structures. These safety zone will not be mined out.
Water Environment
Impairment in riparian
vegetation;
Change in flow patterns
resulting from modification of
the river bed.
Offsets on both the side of bank will be left to prevent the collapse of
sides and thereby protecting the riparian vegetation/ flora.
The bajri mining will be restricted up to 3.0m from river bed/ 2.0m
above water table or whichever is less. So, it will not affect ground water.
A safety zone of 50.0 m radius is being earmarked for the wells located in
the river bed.
In the projects, it is not proposed to divert or truncate any part of the
stream. There will not be any adverse impact on surface hydrology and
ground water regime due to this project.
Sand mining will be done according to guidelines and rules for proper
and scientific method of mining during the period of extracting the sand.
Thus, the project activities will not have any adverse affect on the
physical components of the environment and therefore may not have any
effect on the recharge of ground waters or affect the water quality.
Portable toilets will be used. Sewage generated will be channelized into
septic tank followed by soak pit.
Continuous monitoring of ground water samples will be done as
precautionary measures.
Air Environment

Dust will be generated mainly
during excavation, loading &
unloading activities.
Gaseous pollutants will by
generated mostly by the traffic.
It will be ensured that all the vehicles plying in the working zone are
properly tuned and maintained to keep emissions within the permissible
limits.
At loading & unloading points and transportation routes, arrangement
for water sprinkling will be made to minimize dust generation.
In order to predict changes in the air quality, AERMOD version 7.1.0
model was used. The maximum incremental ground level concentrations
of particulate matter PM10 & PM2.5, and gaseous pollutants NOX & CO from
the different mining activities for the study period (Post-Monsoon) with
EMP were observed to be 4.9μg/m3, 2.13μg/m3, 3.0μg/m3 and 6.0μg/m3
respectively.
The resultant will remain within the National Ambient Air Quality
Standards for industrial/ residential areas.
Noise Environment
Noise due to mining activities.
Noise due to vehicular
movement.
The noise levels from all these sources are periodical and restricted to
particular operation.
The noise measurement data indicated that present noise levels in the
study area is within the permissible limits of National Ambient Noise
Quality Standards.
Thus, due to natural attenuation effects by proper green belt/
maintenance of machines etc., the impact of noise levels will be minimal.
Biological Environment
Impact on biodiversity
Impact on threatened species
The core zone does not encompass any threatened flora or fauna species.
However, in buffer zone, Schedule – I species (Peafowl, Leopard and
Python) was reported, for which conservation plan has been prepared.
Only some common herbs, shrubs and grass will be cleared. So there will
be no impact on the biodiversity.
About 22,500 local and native species will be planted in five year.
Green belt development with suitable species will enhance the
biodiversity of the project area.
Implementation of conservation plan for Peafowl, Leopard and Python
will help to improve population status of that species.
Socio-Economic Environment
Employment generation
Health impacts
Education Facilities
The mining activity puts negligible change in the socio economic profile.
No displacing (0) is proposed due to the bajri mine.
Approx. 73 local workers will get employment opportunities along with
periodical training to generate local skills.

include all types of sediment yield (sheet and rill erosion, gully erosion, channel bed and
bank erosion and mass movement).
Thus, 1.10 MCM (116% of every year production) sediment will be regenerated every year
in the catchment area as replenishment against the mined out quantities.
11.6.3 RISK ASSESSMENT & MANAGEMENT
Risk analysis is the systematic study of uncertainties and risks encountered in various
areas. Risk analysts seek to identify the risks involved in mining operations, to understand
how and when they arise, and estimate the impact (financial or otherwise) of adverse
outcomes. It also defines and analyzes the dangers to individuals, businesses and
government agencies posed by potential natural and human-caused adverse events.
However, there are various factors, which can create unsafe working conditions/ hazards in
mining of Bajri (minor minerals) from river bed. The following types of hazards are
identified during the Bajri mining operations:-
1. Accident during sand/mineral loading, transportation and dumping
2. Accident due to vehicular movement
3. Inundation/Flooding
4. Quick Sand Condition
Following procedure will be followed for effective management of any disaster in the mine.
Step 1: Identification of Disaster risk.
Step 2: Identification of persons at risk
Step 3: Removal of Hazard
Step 4: Evaluation of the risk
Step 5: Control Measures to be taken
Step 6: Maintain Assessment records
Step – 7: Review
11.7 PROJECT BENEFITS
The demand of bajri has been rising in the state as a result of rising in construction activities
and development of the proposed project aims to fulfill the supply of Bajri. The capacity of
proposed project is 19,00,000 TPA aiming to fill the demand – supply gap.
The river bed sand mining will generate direct and indirect employment. Economy of the

villages.
11.10 CONCLUSION
EIA study was performed as per the approved TOR. Various environmental attributes were
studied relating with aspects of mining activities. The related impacts were identified and
evaluated. Considering all the possible ways to mitigate the environmental concerns
Environmental Management Plan was prepared and accordingly fund was allocated. The
EMP has been dynamic, flexible and subject to periodic review. CER activities were
identified and for its time bound implementation, fund has been allocated.
The project will increase the revenue of the State Govt. as well as it will help in the social
upliftment of the local people. The green belt development programme will help in
increasing the green cover in the nearby areas. Thus, the proposed project is not likely to
affect the environment or adjacent ecosystem adversely. The Senior Management will be
responsible for the project review of EMP and its implementation to ensure that the EMP
remains effective and appropriate. Thus, the proper steps will be taken to accomplish all the
goals mentioned in the EMP and the project will bring the positive impact in the study area.
