PLEASE SPECIFY THE CHARACTERISATION (IN TERMS OF COMPOSITION AND QUANTUM) OF HAZARDOUS AS WELL AS SOLID WASTE AND INDICATE THE DISPOSAL PRACTICE ADOPTED FOR BOTH THESE CATEGORIES OF WASTES.
F. 1 Hazardous Waste: Hazardous wastes is mainly used oil from the HEMMs. During the current financial
year 2017-18, about 229.87 KL used oil including emulsified oil has been recovered from oil and grease trap and other sections. In the year 2017-18, 200.00 KL of category 5.1 oil waste was disposed through an authorized TSDF.
Used oil generated from different sections and workshop is collected by trolley and
drums system and returned to the stores. It is then sold to authorized recycler. The project has obtained the authorisation for generation, storage and disposal of
hazardous waste from the Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board under Hazardous & Other Wastes (Management & Transboundary Movement) Amendment Rules, 2016.
F.2 Solid Wastes: One of the solid waste generated from the opencast mine is overburden material
including topsoil, which consists of three distinct materials: i) mixture of fine grain sand stone, clay and shale (about 15%). ii) weathered porous grained (ferruginuous) sand stone (about 30%) iii) porous grained white sand stone (about 55%).
During the year, 2017-18, about 66.44 Mm3 of overburden was generated by the
project. Dumping of the excavated OB material is being done in earmarked four numbers of internal dump sites and two numbers of external dump sites as per the approved EMP (15 MTY). This dumping is being done in benches of height not exceeding 30 m. Thereafter these dumps are being reclaimed technically by levelling with dozer and grader while keeping overall slope of the dump to be less than 280. Appropriate plant species are grown on the dump slopes to stabilise them and to prevent soil erosion. Till March-2018, 330.00 ha of external and internal OB dump have been reclaimed technically and 319 Ha biologically.
F.3 Top Soil: The mine lease area and its surrounding area is undulating and hilly terrain.
Hence, at Nigahi OCP, top soil is available in patches. The prevalent practice is to reuse the top soil, whatsoever is generated, readily for biological reclamation of OB dumps.
The top soil which need to be stored is being stock-piled on the designated top soil
dump i.e., top soil storage site on the north side of the top of the western internal dump (Plate-III) and preserved by growing suitable vegetation on it.

PART – G IMPACT OF POLLUTION ABATEMENT MEASURES ON CONSERVATION OF
NATURAL RESOURCES AND ON THE COST OF PRODUCTION G.1 A detailed EIA/EMP was prepared for Environmental Clearance for 15.00 Mtpa
Coal production by RI-VI of CMPDI in 2006. In order to prevent any damage to the Environment, several measures were suggested in the Environment management plan to keep the pollution within permissible limits. The following measures are being followed:
Air Pollution Control Measures: OEM water tankers (two each of 28 KL and 70 KL capacity), converted water
tankers (7 nos. of 37 KL capacity) are deployed for water spraying on haul roads and other required areas.
Besides the above mentioned departmental arrangement, the outsourcing management has its own fleet of water tankers for water spraying on haul roads and are tabulated as below:
No. of water tankers
Capacity (KL)
Approximate no. of trips/ day
13 12 110 7 18 1 28 2 15
Water spraying arrangement through nozzles has been done near unloading point
of receiving pit and loading point of SILO. Vegetation/ Plantation have been carried out over the surface of dumps.
Dust collectors are provided in drills.
Green belts around colony, quarries, OB dumps, and industrial area has been
provided. 37500 plants were planted on OB slopes in slope area of 15 Ha in 2017-18.
Water Pollution Control Measures:
a) Waste water from Workshop and CHP: It is being treated in two numbers of ETPs of capacities 4.0 MLD and 10.5 MLD constructed for Workshop and CHP effluents respectively. The method of treatment used in these ETPs is chemical treatment i.e. Coagulation and Flocculation by using Alum as the coagulant in the presence of lime and poly-electrolyte.
Environmental Statement of Nigahi OCP (Job No: - 6106081) Chapter - 2, Page No. 8
CMPDI
b) Domestic waste water: It is being treated in a STP of capacity 3.0 MLD. The method of treatment is biological treatment i.e. biological oxidation of waste water by aerobic biomass.
c) Discharged Mine Water: At present mine water is partially treated in three stages. In the first stage sedimentation is carried out at mine face sump, in the second stage it is carried out at Old Bareja Reservoir and in the final stage sedimentation is carried out at New Bareja reservoir.
Noise Pollution Control Measures:
The noise values are within permissible limits as per the noise monitoring report. The noise is mainly being produced during:
i) Drilling & blasting operation. ii) Operation of HEMM like dragline, dumpers, dozers, shovels and other
motor vehicle. iii) Operation of CHP due to crushing, screening, loading and unloading
operation.
iv) Workshop operation.
The following measures are being adopted to keep the noise pollution within limits:-
i) Blasting operation are carried out in between 1.00 PM to 2.00 PM during
which all workers are evacuated from the mine area. ii) Routine maintenance of HEMM is done in the project. Operators are
provided A/C cabin which acts as a noise insulator.
iii) Operators and workmen are provided earmuffs and earplugs as and when required.
iv) Colony has been constructed at a distance of 4 km approximately from the
mine area to minimise the impact of noise due to mining activity. Curtain plantation is done between the mine area and colony which acts as noise barrier.
v) In CHP crusher boxes are enclosed. Gyratory crushers are employed which make minimum noise. At both loading and unloading points, air-conditioned enclosed cabins are provided for work persons employed therein.
G.2 Land Reclamation:
The removal and management of OB from mine has been outlined in Part - F of the report. The project has carried out massive afforestation in the area. Up to March-2018, about 31.66 Lakhs saplings have been planted in Nigahi area. A sum of Rs.4.96 Crores (approx) has been spent on environmental protection in the year 2017-18.
