The fugitive emission during loading and transportation on haul road will be suppressed by water spray. The emission of SOx and NOx may be due to use of diesel- operated excavator/ Loader/ Dumper /Tipper etc. The better maintenance of equipment will help to reduce such emissions and maintain their level below permissible limit and all the trucks will have valid PUC certificate.

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 level due to operation of machinery like dumpers that generate high noise level at source in the ranges of 80-90 dBA. However persons working just close to machines will be provided with ear plugs/ear muffs for further protection and proper maintenance of machines will be carried out periodically. Vibrations due to blasting will be reduced by use of muffle blasting technique, if required.
6.2 From industrial or similar processes No NA
6.3 From construction or demolition No NA
6.4 From blasting or piling Yes Blasting will be done for the quarrying of ordinary stone, which may generate some noise. Controlled blasting technique will reduce the noise and vibration to considerable extent and no blasting will be done during night hours.

7.2 From discharge of sewage or other effluents to water or the land (expected mode and place of discharge) No NA
7.3 By deposition of pollutants emitted to air into the land or into water No The dust generated will be suppressed by sprinkling of water. The emission of SOx and NOx may be due to use of diesel operated Excavator/ Loader /Dumper/Tipper etc. The better maintenance of equipments will help to reduce such emissions and maintain their level within permissible limit. The fugitive emission on haul road will be suppressed by water spray. Impact referred above is localized, transitory and intermittent in nature and hence their effect on environment will not be significant.

8 Risk of accidents during construction or operation of the Project, which could affect human health or the environment
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 Yes The blasting will be carried out in controlled manner by competent person having DGMS certification, area barricading and deputing guards all along the periphery to watch that no person/animals enters into the mining area during controlled blasting.
8.2 From any other causes No NA
8.3 Could the project be affected by natural disasters causing environmental damage (e.g. floods, earthquakes, landslides, cloudburst etc)? No No significant impact is envisaged during natural disaster as the area is open and easily approachable by roads. Also it is an open cast mining limited to a small depth.
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 NA
9.2 Lead to after-use of the site, which could have an impact on the environment Yes The mined out area will be become of a big pit which can only been utilized as a pond for water reservoir as well as for supply of water to adjoining agricultural land. After the entire ordinary stone (sandstone) is excavated from the QL area, the pit will be protected properly by fencing to avoid accidents on any other incidence.
9.3 Set a precedent for later developments Yes A better after use scenario which is likely to increase aesthetic beauty of area in addition to benefit of better water regime & greenery would set a precedence for subsequent entrepreneurs who venture such projects
9.4 Have cumulative effects due to proximity to other existing or planned projects with similar effects Yes The area contains ordinary stone (sandstone) a deposit, so similar mining activities on small scale is being carried out. This projects/mining will create ponds/water bodies which will be beneficial for tree plantation and pisciculture. Hence a better planned and executed project will yield a better result individually; which in turn will give better cumulative effect also.
