1.0 INTRODUCTION

This is Pre-Feasibility Report, which has been prepared as Part of the Application for Terms of Reference Environmental Impact Assessment and Environmental Management (EIA / EMP) studies for the proposed reopening of Belkundi Iron & Manganese Ore Mine of Orissa Mineral Development Company Limited (OMDC) with a rated capacity of 1.8 Mt/yr of iron ore and 0.3 Mt/yr manganese ore from existing open cast mine without increase in ML area. The lease area measures 1276.790 ha and is located in Barbil Tehsil of Keonjhar district of Odisha. This report has been prepared as specified in Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) Guideline No. J – 11013 / 41 / 2006 – IA.II(I) dated 30th Dec., 2010.

In pursuance of Government of India policy vide Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 new projects or expansion of any existing plant necessitates statutory prior environmental clearance in accordance with the objectives of National Environmental Policy as approved by the Union Cabinet on 18th May, 2006 and MoEF EIA Notification dated 14.09.06, by preparing a EIA / EMP report. As part of the process of Scoping for the EIA / EMP studies the project proponent has to submit a formal application to MoEF in the prescribed format (Form I) along with a Pre-Feasibility Report.

OMDC had submitted an earlier application to the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Govt. of India (MoEF) for grant of environmental clearance. MoEF noted OMDC vide their letter no J-11015/287/2008-IA.II(M) dated 31st December, 2012, OMDC had violated the provisions of Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 by virtue of enhancing the production from the mine after EIA Notification, 1994 coming into force without obtaining requisite prior environmental clearance. MoEF advised OMDC to take appropriate action as prescribed by MoEF’s Circular no. J-11013/41/2006-IA.II(I) dated 16th Nov. 2010. In the meanwhile MoEF had decided to delist the project from the pending list.

While taking necessary actions prescribed by MoEF, OMDC has decided to submit a fresh application to MoEF and has engaged the services of MECON Limited a Public Sector Undertaking under the Ministry of Steel, Govt. of India to prepare a Pre-Feasibility Report as the first step for seeking Environmental Clearance for the Belkundi Iron and Manganese Ore Mine.

In view of above, the Pre-Feasibility report has been prepared for seeking Approval for Terms of Reference for the EIA / EMP Studies for the proposed reopening (with increased capacity) of OMDC’s Belkundi Iron & Manganese Ore Mine from Ministry of Environment and Forests, Govt. of India. The EIA/EMP report will also facilitate lease renewal and other related regulatory clearances as required, in addition to meeting environmental mitigation needs for the mine.

The lease area comprises of 182.556 ha of Reserve Forest (Uliburu R.F), 265.720 ha of Khesra Forest and 828.514 ha of Non-Forest land. The mine is closed since 2009 for want of Environmental and Forestry Clearances. It is proposed to resume open cast mining operations with a maximum production of 1.8 Mt/yr of iron ore and 0.3 Mt/yr manganese ore.

Belkundi Iron and Manganese Ore Mine is owned by Orissa Mineral Development Company Limited (OMDC). OMDC owns / operates six iron and manganese ore mining leases in the Joda – Barbil Region in Keonjhar District of Odisha. All of these mines are closed for various reasons. The company has recently been allotted a coal block in the Talcher Coalfield area in Odisha. OMDC was incorporated on 16th August, 1918. The company was nationalized by the Government of India by virtue of the Bird & Company (Acquisition and Transfer of undertaking and other properties) Act, 1980 (Act 67 of 1980). OMDC became Schedule B Public Sector Undertaking with effect from 19th March, 2010 as a subsidiary of Eastern Investment Limited, which in turn became a subsidiary of Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited (RINL) with effect from 5th January, 2011. RINL is a Navaratna public sector undertaking under Ministry of Steel, Government of India.



Belkundi Iron and Manganese Mine is one of the oldest operating mines of The Orissa Minerals Development Company Ltd. The lease deed was executed in favour of Bird & Co. For a period of 30 years (16.08.1926-15.08.1956) for an area of 13.20 sq. Miles. Out of 13.20 sq. Miles, an area of 4.93 sq. miles was granted in favour of OMDC Ltd. for Iron Ore from 01.01.1941 to 15.08.1956. The subsequent renewal of the same was executed for 30 years from 16.08.1956 to 15.08.1986 for an area of 4.93 sq. Miles for both Iron & Mn. The subsequent renewal for an area of 1276.79 Ha. was executed for another 20 years from 16.08.1986 to 15.08.2006. The next renewal application for 20 years from 16.08.2006 to 15.08.2026 has been submitted on 12.08.2005.

Mining Scheme for next scheme of mining is under preparation. The proposed rate of production is 1.8 Mt/yr of iron ore and 0.3 Mt/yr of manganese ore. The estimated project cost is Rs. 121.08 Crores. The expected life of the mine is 11 years for the iron ore section and 41 years for the manganese ore section.

2.2 BRIEF INFORMATION OF THE PROJECT:

Belkundi Mine is an open cast iron and manganese ore mine located on the outskirts of Barbil town in Keonjhar District of Odisha. The lease area is spread over 1276.790 ha, which comprises of Forest Land and Non-Forest Land. The mine is closed since 2009 for want of Forestry and Environmental clearances. The maximum annual production of iron ore prior to 1994 was 88257.059 t whereas after 1994 the same was 701550 t. The maximum annual production of manganese ore prior to 1994 was 119445.514 t whereas after 1994 the same was 113664.0 t. Since this is a case of violation (in the case of iron ore), the following actions have been taken in accordance with the procedures laid down in Ministry of Environment and Forests’ Office Memorandum No. J – 11013 / 41 / 2006 – IA. (II)I dated 12th Dec., 2012:

a) The matter relating to the violation has been put to the Board of Directors of the Company and a Resolution has been adopted stating “OMDC undertakes to take the necessary measures to confine the production within the permitted quantity and will ensure that violation of Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 will not be repeated”. The same has been forwarded to MoEF vide letter no. MOEF/OMDC/CS/02-2012/01 dated 13th Feb., 2013 (copy enclosed as Appendix 1).

b) “The Collector & District Magistrate, Keonjhar” has initiated legal action u/s 19 of Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 for violation of the provisions of E.I.A. Notification 1994 / E.I.A. Notification 2006 and u/s 15 of the said Act by filing a case in the Court of the J.M.F.C., Barbil (Case no.114 / 2013; copy enclosed as Appendix 2).

It is proposed to reopen the mine with a rated capacity of 1.8 Mt/yr of iron ore and 0.3 Mt/yr of manganese ore. The ore will be sold through e-auction. Water requirement for the proposed project for industrial purposes has been estimated to be 123 m3/day, whereas potable water demand has been estimated to be 76 m3/day. The water will be drawn from Karo River flowing ~2.8 km beyond the lease’s western boundary.

A Safety Zone has been maintained all along the lease boundary as the Green Belt.

2.3 NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY OR REGION :

OMDC has six iron and manganese ore mining leases, all of them located in the Joda - Barbil region of Keonjhar District of Odisha. All these mines are closed for want of Forestry and / or Environmental Clearances. Consequently the company’s resources are idle. Meanwhile, OMDC has been taken over by Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Ltd. (RINL).

Reopening of Belkundi Mine will have the following benefits: Increase the supply of iron and manganese ore for India’s domestic steel producers. Some of OMDC’s idle machinery, infrastructure and manpower will be reactivated. The mine will generate additional employment, both direct and indirect which will lead to economic growth



2.4 DEMAND AND SUPPLY GAP :

The major application of iron ore in India is for manufacture of iron and steel.

India is one of the major producers and exporters of high grade iron ore. In 2012 - 13, India’s iron ore production was 136.02 Mt. The major iron ore producing states are Odisha, Jharkhand, Chattisgarh, Karnataka and Goa. India is world’s 3rd largest iron ore exporter after Australia and Brazil. India’s iron ore exports were18.37 Mt (~13.5%) in 2012 – 13.

All major steel producers in India are implementing their growth plans to enhance hot metal production capacity. The iron ore requirement is expected to increase to about 206 Mt/yr by 2016 – 17 and 500 Mt/yr by 2025. In order to meet enhanced requirement of iron ore, all iron ore producers are taking necessary action to expand their existing mines. Iron ore production capacity will be enhanced to meet the expanded requirement in the next 3-4 years time.

The iron ore from Belkundi Mine will be sold to domestic steel producers.

The consumption of manganese ore in India was 4.13 Mt in 2011 – 12. The major applications of manganese ore in India during 2011 - 12 was for manufacture of silico-manganese (64.42%), manufacture of ferro-manganese (28.95%), which are used for manufacture of steel. Manganese ore is also used as direct feed to blast-furnaces of integrated steel plants (6.17%), manufacture of batteries (0.35%), lead and zinc metallurgy (0.04%), in chemical industries (0.04%) and other industries (0.03%).

The Working Group of the Ministry of Steel has estimated the demand for Manganese Ore to increase to 6.78 Mt/yr by 2016 – 17. In 2011 – 12, the indigenous production of manganese ore was 2,349,300 t. The shortfall is met by imports. In 2011 - 12, India imported ~1.961 Mt of manganese ore mostly from South Africa (0.935 Mt), Australia (0.568 Mt), Gabon (0.173 Mt) and Brazil (0.07 Mt). These comprised of ~0.86 Mt of high grade ore (+46% Mn), 1.071 Mt of medium grade ore (46 – 35% Mn) and 0.020 Mt of low grade ore (35 – 30% Mn). During the same year India also exported ~0.075 Mt of various grades of manganese ore.

Manganese ore produced from OMDC’s mines will be mostly consumed in steel plants, either after conversion to ferro-alloys (silico-manganese and ferro-manganese) or directly as blast furnace feed.

2.5 IMPORT VS INDIGENOUS PRODUCTION :

India produces a surplus of iron ore. In 2012 - 13, India’s iron ore production was 136.02 Mt of which 18.37 Mt (i.e. about 13.5%) was exported.

India is net importer of manganese ore. During 2011 – 2012 India imported ~1.961 Mt of manganese ore but exported 0.075 Mt of manganese ore.

2.6 EXPORT POSSIBILITIES :

Iron ore produced from this project will be exclusively consumed in the domestic steel industry. There is no proposal for export of iron ore from this project. Most of the manganese ore produced at Belkundi mine will be consumed in the domestic steel industry directly as blast furnace feed or after conversion to ferro-manganese or silico-manganese. There is no proposal for export of manganese ore from this project.

2.7 DOMESTIC / EXPORT MARKET:

The iron ore and manganese ore are used in the iron & steel industry. They are basic raw materials required for manufacturing of iron and steel. India is one of the major producers of iron ore, most of which is consumed domestically. A minor proportion (~13.5% in 2012 – 13) is exported. India is a net importer of manganese ore.



2.8 EMPLOYMENT GENERATION:

Belkundi Mines will be headed by the Mines Manager who will be the responsible for the supervision, control and management of the mines.

All statutory supervision i.e. Mines Foreman, Mining Mate etc will be employed as specified in the Metalliferous Mines Regulation, 1961. Employment potential at Belkundi Mine is as follows:

Sl. No. Category No. of Persons 1. Officer 4 2. Supervisors 10 3. Surveyor 1 4. Highly Skilled worker 15 5. Skilled worker 222 6. Semi skilled worker 281 7 Un-skilled worker 222

Total 755

Majority of the unskilled and semiskilled workers will be local persons. The officers, supervisors and rest of the workers will be housed in OMDC’s township at Thakurani.

3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Belkundi Mine started operation in 1926. Initially, the lease deed was executed in favour of Bird & Co. For a period of 30 years (16.08.1926-15.08.1956) for an area of 13.20 sq. Miles. Out of 13.20 sq. Miles, an area of 4.93 sq. miles was granted in favour of OMDC Ltd. for Iron Ore from 01.01.1941 to 15.08.1956.

3.1 TYPE OF PROJECT INCLUDING INTERLINKED AND INTERDEPENDED PROJECT

The proposed project falls under Category “A”, as per EIA notification – 2006, Amendment Nov.-2009 & April -2011 of the Ministry of Environment & Forest, New Delhi. Also the lease is located adjacent to the Odisha - Jharkhand Inter-state boundary.

3.2 LOCATION:

Belkundi Mining Lease area is located in villages Belkundi, Nalda, Karakolha, Kharkendra, Uliburu & Barbil in Barbil Tehsil of Keonjhar District of Odisha and also partly within Uliburu R.F. and Khesra Forest. under Barbil Range of Keonjhar Forest Division, Odisha. The mining lease area falls under Toposheet No. 73F/8 between Latitudes 22⁰07’41.61” N and 22⁰09’45.31” N and longitudes 85⁰23’03.45” E and 85⁰26’05.60” E. The location of project is shown in Drg. No. MEC/Q761/11/S2/(2)T1

3.3 DETAILS OF ALTERNATE SITE :

Since the proposed project envisages reopening of an existing mine, possibility of alternate site is out of question. 3.4 SIZE AND MAGNITUDE OF OPERATION:

The mine lease is spread over 1276.790 ha. Mining started in the lease 1926. The mine operated up to 2009 – 10 with maximum production of 701550 t/yr of iron ore and 119445.514 t/yr of manganese ore. Mining has been suspended since 09.12.2009 for want of Forestry and Environmental Clearances.

The present proposal envisages resumption of mining with a rated capacity of 1.8 Mt/yr of iron ore and 0.3 Mt/yr of manganese ore. The rated capacity will be attained in the 4th year of operation. There is no proposal to increase the lease area.

3.5 MINE DESCRIPTION 3.5.1 Geology:

The rock types exposed in this area belongs to the Iron Ore series of Precambrian age. The trend of the hillocks within the leasehold area is in NE-SW direction. Though the area appears to have undergone different stages of deformation/folding, major fold is having an axial trend of NE-SW direction. From the above fact, it may be concluded that eastern ghat orogeny might have affected the area.

The stratigraphy of the area was first of all established by H.C. Jones and subsequently the stratigraphy was revised by a number of authors like Dunn and Dey, Shah and Sarkar etc. According to H.C. Zones, there exist two different formations in the area i.e. older metamorphics and Iron Ore series - which were separated by an unconformity. Dunn and Dey, on the other hand consider the older metamorphic to form a part of Iron Ore series and Kolhan series lies at the top of Iron Ore series with a unconformity between Iron Ore series and Kolhan series.

The latest regional stratigraphic succession of the rock types is given below:

New Dolerite Mayurbhanj Granite Gabbro-Anorthosite Ultramafic Intrusions

Kolhan Group ———————————Unconformity——————————



Dhanjori Group Jagannathpur lava

LOCAL GEOLOGY

The rock types exposed in this area belong to the iron ore series of Precambrian age.

Soil and alluvium Laterite Manganese ore Iron ore BHJ/BHQ/Quartzite and Manganese Weathered shale

Iron ore zone

The siliceous iron ore/BHQ/BHJ forms the proto-ore or the primary rock where rhythmic banding of silica and iron ore is noticed. The secondary processes like leaching out of silica bands from BHQ/BHJ have given rise to the thinly laminated biscuity iron ores. This also renders friableness of the ore giving rise to blue-dust pockets. At times infilling of the voids with iron oxides and subsequent compaction yields bouldery iron ore (i.e., soft laminated type). Infilling of shally material in these voids is also not uncommon here which dilutes the ore during the mining operation. A clear transition between BHQ, soft laminated/Friable iron ore and hard bouldery iron ore is seen towards the south-western comer of the lease hold. Lateritisation of soft laminated iron ore is widespread in the area. As can be seen in the geological map, entire iron ore bearing tract falling within Uliburu reserve forest is lateritised.

Conglomerates mostly found along the hill flank. These are oligomictic type. Pebbles, rubbles, cobbles of iron ores are seen cemented together with iron oxides. These form the conga variety of iron ores and form a thin veneer above the other rock types along the hill slope.

Manganese ore zone

Small hillocks in the valley are capped with lateritised shale. In-situ weathering and enrichment of manganiferous shale has given rise to lateritic manganese ore. Manganese ores encountered here are of two types.

1. Lateritoid type 2. Replacement type

The lateritoid manganese ore as described above are products of in-situ weathering and enrichment of manganiferous shale. The replacement type manganese ores on the other hand found along the fracture, fissure, joint planes etc of shales as well as quartzites. The colloidal solution of manganese ore being deposited along such weak planes give rise to good quality manganese ore i.e. Medium and high grade variety. Manganese ores found here are mostly pyrolusites, psilomelanes and wads.



Dip and Strike At the south – western corner of the lease hold the strike of ore body is observed to be N 100E – S100 W dipping 300westerly. Further north to it the strike trend has veered to N 350 E – S 350 W. In and around Murgi pit area strike trend is seen top be N 200E –S 200W with dip amount 600 westerly.

Mine office, first aid centre and canteen will be shared with OMDC’s adjacent Bagiaburu Mine Lease. These are adequate for the project. Other common infrastructure for the entire mine such as Main Administrative Building, workshop, stores, hospital, township and railway siding are existing in the OMDC’s nearby Thakurani Lease.



4.6 SOIL CLASSIFICATION

The soil is lateritic, typical of the area. The thickness of the top soil varies from nil (due to outcropping of iron ore to maximum of 60 cm.

4.7 CLIMATE :

The mine lease area lies in tropical region where climate is characterised by very hot summers and cool winters. Summer is typically from March to June when monthly temperature ranges from a maximum of 40°C during daytime to a minimum of 20°C at night. Winter is from November to February when the maximum temperature during day goes up to 30°C and minimum temperature at night becomes as low as 10°C. The average annual rainfall as recorded at IMD observatory at Chaibasa is 1192 mm. The Southwest monsoon lasts from mid June to mid September and the area gets more than 80% of the annual rainfall during this period.

4.8 SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE AVAILABLE:

OMDC has six mines in the Joda - Barbil area some of which are quite old as they were operated by the erstwhile Bird Group. OMDC has two large townships at Thakurani and Roida. The Thakurani and Roida townships have all necessary amenities including hospital, markets, playgrounds and entertainment facilities. Education facilities and major markets are available at Barbil and Joda towns.

5.0 PLANNING BRIEF:

5.1 PLANNING CONCEPT:

The proposed project envisages reopening and expanding an existing open cast mine. The mine had commenced operations during the 1926 but had stopped operating in 2010. The basic infrastructure required for resuming operations are already in place. Once the necessary clearances are obtained mining will be resumed after refurbishment of the offices and rest shelters which are in-state of disuse. The initial production will be 1.65 Mt/yr of iron ore and 0.2 Mt/yr of manganese ore. The rated capacity of the mine will be attained in the 5th year of operation.

5.2 LAND USE PLANNING:

The existing land use and the land use at the end of the mine’s life are as follows:

Sl. No. Type of land use Area of land use (in ha) Existing At end of 5th Year At End of Work

1 Area under excavation 142.854 178.854 477.079 2 Overburden Dumps 31.080 55.773 92.058 3 Mineral Storage 9.243 15.532 34.049 4 Infrastructure 24.366 24.366 58.343 5 Road 9.905 9.905 9.905 6 Railways 3.124 3.124 3.124 7 State Highway 6.618 6.618 6.618

Total 1276.790 1276.790 1276.790 When the reserves are exhausted, the mine will be shut down as per the Approved Mine Closure Plan.



5.3 ASSESSMENT OF INFRASTRUCTURE DEMAND

Since cessation of mining the mine office has fallen into disuse. It has to be refurbished. The rest shelters and canteen have collapsed. They will be reconstructed. The haul roads within the mine are in fairly good shape; only some pot-holes have to be filled in. OMDC’s existing centralized workshop, stores, explosive magazine railway siding, etc. will cater to the needs of Belkundi.

Belkundi mine will employ 755 persons, majority of whom will be local villagers. The rest comprising of the officers, supervisors, some of the highly skilled, skilled and semiskilled workers may come from outside. These people will be provided accommodation in the existing Thukarani township, which has all amenities. Some of the quarters at the township are very old and in a poor state. It is expected that about 100 quarters with a total built up area of 8000 m2 may have to be built to replace the ir-repairable houses. These quarters will be built on Non-Forest Govt. Land in Belkundi Lease.

5.4 AMENITIES / FACILITIES

During the process of reopening the mine, OMDC will revamp the site office, time Office, rest shelters, canteen and First Aid center which have been lying disused since 2009.

6.0 PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE:

The area is well connected by road and rail network. The area is self sufficient to cater the needs of the proposed project, hence, no additional infrastructure is proposed. OMDC has townships with necessary amenities.

Green Belt & Plantations: At present plantations are present over 19.428 ha within the lease area, which constitutes the Safety Zone. Before the lease is abandoned, plantations will be created over vacant areas, exhausted quarry benches and floors, external over-burden dumps and backfill areas. Saplings of species like Neem, Karanj, Jamun, Mahua, Amla, and other fruit bearing trees etc. will be planted as part of the re-vegetation programme.

CSR Activities: OMDC is already doing these jobs under Corporate Social Responsibility and jobs are taken up within villages that fall under 10 Km radius. Activities already taken up are as follows:

Holding of medical camps, supply of medicines to villagers, mosquito eradication programmes Improving drinking water supply systems and infrastructure in peripheral villages Material assistance to needy village women Improvement of education facilities in villages Setting up of solar powered street lights in villages Construction of roads Setting up of community toilets Material assistance for village festivals, cultural events and sports activities

Annual expenditure towards CSR activities during the last seven years are as follows: • 2014 – 15 : Rs 89,03,744/- (budgeted) • 2013 – 14: Rs. 92,27,681/- • 2012 – 13: Rs. 1,16,99,425/- • 2011 – 12: Rs. 1,46,15,774/- • 2010 – 11: Rs.1,42,25,076/- • 2009 – 10: Rs. 34,44,949/- • 2008 – 09: Rs. 4,72,93,002/-

7.0 REHABILITATION & RESETTLEMENT (R&R) PLAN :

The project does not envisage any leasing or acquisition of private land. Hence there wont be any land oustees who have to be resettled our rehabilitated.

8.0 PROJECT SCHEDULE & COST ESTINATE

8.1 LIKELY DATE OF START OF CONSTRUCTION AND LIKELY DATE OF COMPLETION:

The mine will be reopened within six months of receipt of necessary clearances. The initial production shall be 1.65 Mt/yr of iron ore and 0.2 Mt/yr of manganese ore. The rated capacity of the mine (1.8 Mt/yr of iron ore and 0.3 Mt/yr of manganese ore) will be attained in the 5th year of operation.



8.2 ESTIMATED PROJECT COST ALONG AND ECONOMIC VIABILITY OF THE PROJECT

The estimated project cost will be Rs. 121.08 Crores.

Production cost for reopened Belkundi mine has been worked out taking into account the annual production capacity (after expansion), requirement/ linkages/sourcing and pricing of various input materials to the mine site, requirement of manpower and their salaries & wages, power, fuel and other services & utilities, consumables, maintenance spares and various overhead expenses.

The estimated production cost (including depreciation & interest) at 100% capacity utilization after proposed expansion will be ~ Rs. 1200 per tonne of iron ore and Rs. 1636/- per tonne of manganese ore.

9.0 ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL (FINAL RECOMMENDATION)

The project will have the following benefits:

The project will increase the supply of iron and manganese ore for the domestic steel industry. In addition it will add to revenue generation of the District / State. There will be social benefits from the mining operation in the region. The underlying benefits through the

proposed project are : • It aims to provide additional direct or indirect employment to the local population of the area. • The proposed project aims to fulfill its social sustainable responsibility through promoting and maintain

permanent structure as follows : • Facility for village school including classroom, toilet construction, ceiling fan/coolers or books for school

library. • Vocational training to be provided to the persons for improving their skills in income generation techniques

like stitching, Hatchery. Plumber, carpenter, blacksmith etc. • Formation of self help groups to develop the saving and helping each other with financial resources instead

of going for heavy interest debts.

Considering the above points coming up of the Belkundi project has become necessary.
