  • Other
 No Mining contribute to Local development and overall development taking place in the Region. Supporting infrastructure (essentially roads and power supply) is already in place. Consequently, the possibility of this project triggering significant ancillary developments, regional and Socio-economic development.
9.2 Lead to after-use of the site, which could have an impact on the environment Yes Plantation is being carried out after backfilling the part of the mined out area, which could have some positive impacts, in terms of enriching the micro ecology and bio-diversity in the area. Mined out pits that cannot be backfilled are converted into water reservoirs/ Rain water harvesting pit are commonly used by locals as a source of irrigation for agriculture, which is normally acceptable to mine owners, as part of a general social compact between the mine owners and locals.
9.3 Set a precedent for later developments No Not required.
9.4 Have cumulative effects due to proximity to other existing or planned projects with similar effects Yes Mining leases are present in the immediate vicinity of the study area. These will be identified and cumulative impacts of these studies especially on air quality, ground water, noise / vibration and infrastructure (especially roads) using available information in the EIA report.
