Impact on Environment and Mitigation Management Plan

A) Introduction:

This section will discuss the management plans for mitigation/abatement of adverseenvironmental impacts and enhancement of beneficial impacts due to mining. TheEnvironmental management plan has been designed within the framework of variousIndian legislatives and regulatory requirements on environmental and socio-economicaspects.

The objectives to protect the environmental values of the mine land are:

To provide a stable, non-polluting land-form Land disturbed by mining activities will be made stable (geo-technically and

erosionally) to ensure that the post mine landform are not compromised byinstability.

To provide a beneficial post mining land use. The post-mine land uses for areas disturbed by mining will be a mosaic of self

sustaining vegetation communities and grazing land, using appropriatenative tree, shrub and grass species, and improved pasture species asappropriate.

To control the introduction and spread of declared plants. To minimize the disturbance of remnant vegetation.

B) Anticipated Impact and Mitigation Measures

1. Air Environment

Air Quality Management measures suggested for air pollution control based on thesources are as follows:

Sources of Air pollutionThe main sources of air pollution are identified as-

Mining activities inside the Quarry area like Drilling, Blasting, transport anddumping of the stone.

Transport of stone from quarry area. Stone handling activities at the respective site. Stone transportation from quarry area to storage area. Storage and Wagon loading of Stone at the site.



Mitigation Measures for Air pollution

The mitigation measures recommended for quarry area for air pollution control are:

Dust suppression system (water spraying or sprinklers) to be adopted at sitewhile loading and use of sharp teeth for shovel

Dust extraction system to be used in drill machines Use of sharp drill bits for drilling holes and drills with water flushing system

(wet drilling), to reduce dust generation. Near the stock piles (temporary storage of the products) mist spray will be

provided at appropriate places for preventing dust pollution during handling ofthe product.

The mitigation measures provided in the transport and handling area for air pollutionare:

Regular water spraying on the roads connected with quarry area duringtransportation of stones.

Dumping of stones from the heavy vehicles will be done from an appropriateheight for less dust generation.

The heavy vehicles are the main sources for release of carbon monoxide andnitric oxide, so to avoid the increase of pollutant in the site the vehicles will bemaintained properly and regularly.

Vehicles with valid PUC will be used for transportation.

Observation

The Air quality is likely to remain within the limits prescribed by MPCB. There is alsonegligible increase in the levels of the pollutants in the site area. The Necessarymitigation measures will be consider by the project proponent hence mining activity isnot likely to have any adverse effect on the existing environment.

2. Noise Environment

Noise Quality Management measures suggested for noise pollution is based on thesecondary baseline data for noise quality.



Sources of Noise pollutionThe main sources of noise pollution are identified as-

Mining activities inside the Quarry area like Drilling, Blasting and transport.

Mitigation Measures for Noise pollution

The mitigation measures for quarry area for noise pollution are:

Proper designing of plant & machinery by providing in-built mechanisms likesilencers, mufflers and enclosures for noise generating parts and shock absorbingpads at the foundation of vibrating equipments.

Routine maintenance of equipment. Enclosures for crusher house, etc. Rational deployment of noise generating plant and machinery. Greenbelts around the quarry and infrastructure sites HEMMs with sound proof cabins. Personal protective devices to all the persons working in high noise areas.

Observation

The ambient noise level monitoring carried out in and around the project site showsthat the ambient noise level are well within the stipulated limits.

3. Water Environment

Since the mining activity is related to stones the water contamination is not a majorissue.

4. Ground Vibration and Blasting

Blasting is an occasional and impulsive event, which needs to be carried out in anisolated manner. The ground vibration peak particle velocity from blasting operationscarried out in or on the quarry area must not exceed 2 mm/s for more than 5% of thetotal number of blasts carried out in or on the quarry during each reporting period; andmust not exceed 10 mm/s at any time, at any residence or other noise sensitive receivernearby.



Mitigation for Vibration activity due to blasting

Time of blasting

Blasting operations on the quarry area may only take place when there is a needto meet the daily requirement of production. If at all necessary the timing will bebetween 1.00 pm and 3.00 pm. Relevant guidelines and standards applicable tothe management of blasting for the project are listed below:

Guideline for the Use of Explosives as per Explosive Rule 2008. Noise pollution( Regulation and control ) rules 2000 under MPCB.

Fly-rock Management

The Drill and Blast Engineer is to ensure that no fly-rock is emitted beyond thezone of exclusion. The zone of exclusion is assumed to be 200 yards.

All blasts are designed in such a manner as to ensure that no fly rock is ejectedfrom the site or on to any infrastructure established on site. In the event of flyrock extending beyond the pit, a thorough assessment is to be carried out inconjunction with the mine expert to determine the likely cause and to ensure thatfuture preventive measures are in place to prevent a recurrence of a similarincident.

No workforce shall be allowed during blasting time so that the workers are not exposedto impulsive noise level.

The noise generating points during blasting will be enclosed to minimize thepropagation of high noise intensity.

Before blasting is done, warning sound is given so that people can move to safe places.ObservationSince blasting is an occasional event to meet the requirement of daily production capacity, no adverseimpact can be observed. Also the vibration measured created due to blasting activity in the quarry areawas within limit.



5. Occupational health and safety measures

Air Pollution

For the safety of workers at site, engaged at the strategic location/dust generationpoints like, drilling, loading and unloading points, etc. dusk mask will be provided.Dust mask would prevent the inhalation of RPM thereby reducing the risk of lungdisease and other respiratory disorders. Along with that safety goggles, safety shoesand helmet will be provided to the workers.

Noise Pollution

To protect the workers from high sound level during activity like blasting and drillingfollowing measures are adopted.

Provision of protective device like ear muffs/ear plugs to the worker who cannotbe isolated from the source of high intensity noise, eg. Blasting.

Confining the noise by isolating the source of noise.

Reducing the exposure time of workers to higher noise levels by shiftsmanagement.

6. Impact on Socio Economic Status

The project is likely to give a boost to the economy of the area and providing secondaryand tertiary employment to local people. For the well being of the workers employed inthe company, they are provided with temporary shelter and all the facility for goodliving by the owner of the company.

7. Afforestation Plan

The plants grown in the area should be dust tolerant and fast growing so thatpermanently green belt is created. The main aim of the plantation around the area ofthe project is to stabilize the area to protect it from rain and wind erosion. The workingarea ie. quarry area shall contain fine particles resulting in erosion of land when theseget airborne. Stabilization against wind is therefore a must.
