Also there will be no quarry discharge water from the mine.
1.25 Transport of personnel or materials for construction, operation or decommissioning? No Most of the laborers will be engaged from villages adjacent to lease area. Hence transport facilities for commutation of mine workers will not be required.
1.26 Long-term dismantling or decommissioning or restoration works? Yes After the end of the life of mine, mined out land will be used as water reservoir and some area will be used for plantation
1.27 Ongoing activity during decommissioning which could have an impact on the environment? No After the closure of the mining operations there will be no further activity .
1.28 Influx of people to an area in either temporarily or permanently? No Mostly local people will be deployed to carry out mineral extraction. So no influx of people is envisaged

The emissions are of temporary nature. Mitigation measures will be taken to reduce impacts from such emissions. The vehicles used for transportation will have valid PUC certificate and low Sulphur diesel will be used.
5.2 Emissions from production processes Yes Particulate Matter emitted during loading & transportation will be kept below the prescribed limits by adopting mitigation measures like water sprinkling and periodic maintenance of HEMM.
5.3 Emissions from materials handling including storage or transport Yes The loading of materials and transportation will lead to generation of dust pollutants. Periodical maintenance of HEMM will be done to control emission of exhaust fumes. Water sprinkling during loading and unloading of excavated materials will be done.

Selection of machines and their regular maintenance will lead to less noise generation. Greenbelt will be developed around the lease boundary , which will provide barrier to propagation of noise outside the lease area
6.2 From industrial or similar processes No There will be no industrial process at the project site so question of generation of noise doesn’t arise.
6.3 From construction or demolition No No construction or demolition will take place in the mine lease area.
6.4 From blasting or piling No None
6.5 From construction or operational traffic Yes Due to vehicular traffic and material transportation within applied area, noise may get generated but stringent measures will be taken to control the noise limits within the DGMS & CPCB norms.

7.3 By deposition of pollutants emitted to air into the land or into water No Dust generated during extraction of minerals, loading and transportation may cause adverse impact on the air but the measures followed will control the air pollution. As there is no liquid waste, chances of contamination of air , water and land is remote.
7.4 From any other sources No There is no other source from which risk of contamination is anticipated.
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 due to proposed project operations as frequent dust suppression will be done in mining and surrounding areas.
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 No Not Applicable
8.2 From any other causes Yes • Accidents by transport vehicles due to negligence and/or ignoring the safety aspects. • Accidents during mining caused due to negligence of workers or bad mining practices. • No loose stone or debris will be allowed to remain near the edges of excavation and along the sides of haul road. • T o deal with the minor incidences and accidents, First Aid measures will be provided at the mining site.
8.3 Could the project be affected by natural disasters causing environmental damage (e.g. floods, earthquakes, landslides, cloudburst etc)? Yes The project is under Seismic Zone IV . This zone is called the Severe intensity zone for earthquakes.
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 utilities, 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
 Yes This proposed project will result in improvement of living standards of people living in the neighborhood. This will become possible due to increased employment opportunities due to mining and allied activities.
9.2 Lead to after-use of the site, which could have an impact on the environment Yes The Mine will be closed as per the approved Mine Closure Plan. All possible measures will be taken to mitigate any adverse impact on environment due to mining operations in the recent past.
9.3 Set a precedent for later developments Yes A better after use scenario, which is likely to increase aesthetic beauty of the area in addition to benefit of greenery and water reservoir , will set precedence for subsequent entrepreneurs who venture to take up such mining projects.
9.4 Have cumulative effects due to proximity to other existing or planned projects with similar effects Yes There are no industries except few mines of minerals are located in the 10 km area. Hence, there is likelihood of cumulative effect due to the transportation of mineral. A better planned and executed project will yield a better result individually; which in turn will give better cumulative effect.
