S.No Information/Checklist confirmation Yes/No Details thereof (with approximate quantities/rates, wherever possible) with source of information data
6.1 From operation of equipment e.g. engines, ventilation plant, crushers Yes There is likelihood of some increase in noise due to operational machinery like dumpers/ compressor/excavator/rock breaker, etc. which generates high level of noise at source ranges from 80-90 decibels.
6.2 From industrial or similar processes No On the grounds mentioned above at point (6.1) no noise, vibration and emissions of light and heat is envisaged which may cause considerable impact.
6.3 From construction or demolition No Construction or demolition is not needed to attract this issue.

6.5 From construction or operational traffic Yes No major construction traffic is expected. However operational traffic i.e. movement of tipper & excavator , may attract generation of noise. However, impact of operational activity and traffic is local, transitory and intermittent which is for short-term hence no considerable impact can be envisaged.

S.No Information/Checklist confirmation Yes/No Details thereof (with approximate quantities/rates, wherever possible) with source of information data
7.1 From handling, storage, use or spillage of hazardous materials No Not applicable, As the handled material does not contain any hazardous material. Moreover Blasting will be conducted by the approved license holder/contractor therefore no need of storage of blasting materials on applied land.
7.2 From discharge of sewage or other effluents to water or the land (expected mode and place of discharge) No Since no sewage or other effluents will be generated during the proposed mining activity which need to be discharged to water or the land.
7.3 By deposition of pollutants emitted to air into the land or into water No No considerable depositions of emitted pollutants are envisaged to air, on the land or into water. Dust will be generated during operational activity i.e. vehicle movement, loading, unloading and blasting. Emission of SOx and NOx may be due to use of diesel operated dumper/ truck / tractor/ compressor/ loader etc. Impacts of these are localized, transitory and intermittent in nature and hence their effect on environment is insignificant.
7.4 From any other sources No No other sources are expected to release pollutants
7.5 Is there a risk of long term build up of pollutants in the environment from these sources? No There is no risk of long term buildup of pollutants in the environment from any source.

S.No Information/Checklist confirmation Yes/No Details thereof (with approximate quantities/rates, wherever possible) with source of information data
8.1 From explosions, spillages, fires etc from storage, handling, use or production of hazardous substances No Not applicable as there is spillage, fire, etc. required or expected. Moreover no hazardous substances are proposed to be used or produce during the various stages of mining. Controlled & scientific Blasting will be done with proper caution and following all applicable statutory rules & regulation for blasting.
8.2 From any other causes No There is no any other cause to have risk of accidents
8.3 Could the project be affected by natural disasters causing environmental damage (e.g. floods, earthquakes, landslides, cloudburst etc)? No The project is not located in earthquakes or landslide prone zone. It is non-operational during rainy days, therefore no risk of accident is envisaged
9 Factors which should be considered (such as consequential development) which could lead to environmental effects or the potential for cumulative impacts with other existing or planned activities in the locality
S.No Information/Checklist confirmation Yes/No Details thereof (with approximate quantities/rates, wherever possible) with source of information data
9.1 Lead to development of supporting.lities, ancillary development or development stimulated   by the project which could have impact on the environment e.g.:
  • Supporting infrastructure (roads, power supply,waste or waste water treatment, etc.)
  • housing development
  • extractive industries
  • supply industries
  • Other
No The project has no conventional structures of developmental work, solid or fluidal wastes or harmful emissions therefore it would not have any impact on the environment of any type of existing, developmental or other planned activities.
9.2 Lead to after-use of the site, which could have an impact on the environment No The project would not have any impact on the environment after-use of the site as the same will be properly reclaimed according to the approved plan of mining or as directed by DEIAA CECB or other authorities.
9.3 Set a precedent for later developments Yes A better planned and executed project will yield a better result individually; which in turn will give better cumulative effect also. In addition to benefit of better water regime & greenery would set precedence for subsequent entrepreneurs who venture such projects.
