(II) Activity
1 Construction, operation or decommissioning of the Project involving actions, which will cause physical changes in the locality (topography, land use, changes in water bodies, etc.)
S.No Information/Checklist confirmation Yes/No Details there of (with approximate quantities/rates, wherever possible) with source of information data
1.1 Permanent or temporary change in land use, land cover or topography including increase in intensity of land use (with respect to local land use plan) Yes Total land is 523.06 Ha. Quarry land is 254.4 Ha.Land for external OB dump is 168.95 Ha. Land for safety zone is 44.28 Ha.Colony of 18.92 Ha is outside north urimari leasehold boundary. Out of total project area, 226.51 Ha is forest land which is acquired.
1.2 Clearance of existing land, vegetation and buildings? Yes In view of proposed mining activity and development of adjoining infrastructure, clearance of existing land, vegetation and buildings is expected.
1.3 Creation of new land uses? Yes The mining activity and infrastructure development changes the present land use.
1.4 Pre-construction investigations e.g. bore houses, soil testing? No This is an existing project. 83 boreholes drilled in Urimari block during the reserve exploration period.
1.5 Construction works? Yes Construction of field workshop, sub-station, statutory buildings, etc has taken place. Approach road exists. New railway siding is under construction.
1.6 Demolition works? Yes Clearance of existing land and vegetation for mining purpose is expected.
1.7 Temporary sites used for construction works or housing of construction workers? No The existing infrastructure is sufficient for this purpose.
1.8 Above ground buildings, structures or earthworks including linear structures, cut and fill or excavations and fill or excavations No Field workshop, sub-station, statutory buildings, roads exist.
1.9 Underground works including mining or tunnelling? No Not Applicable
1.10 Reclamation works? Yes Land reclamation followed by biological reclamation of backfilled quarry area & external dump. The reclamation activities will be carried out as per the post mining landuse/ reclamation plan.
1.11 Dredging? No Not Applicable
1.12 Offshore structures? No Not Applicable
1.13 Production and manufacturing processes? Yes Coal production by opencast method using shovel-dumper combination.
1.14 Facilities for storage of goods or materials? Yes The coal from face of the quarry will be transported to stock yard at the railway siding from which coal will be loaded to wagons.
1.15 Facilities for treatment or disposal of solid waste or liquid effluents? Yes Solid wastes that will be generated in course of coal mining are overburden material consisting of fragments of sandstone/shale of assorted size. . Total over burden generated will be 136.60 Mm3. It is proposed to store 59.60 M.m3 of OB in the external dump and remaining OB will be backfilled in the mine void. The mine water is being treated in the sedimentation sump. Garland drains have been proposed to prevent water contamination.
1.16 Facilities for long term housing of operational workers? Yes 18.92 Ha. has been proposed outside the leasehold boundary for construction of Colony.
1.17 New road, rail or sea traffic during construction or operation? No Not applicable

1.22 Stream crossings? Yes Potanga nala
1.23 Abstraction or transfers of water from ground or surface waters? Yes In the opencast mine, the different aquifers overlying the working coal seam would be contributing ground water to the mine by gravity drainage since they are exposed/removed at the mine. As such due to this pumping/gravity drainage, cone of depression would be formed. Mine induced effect would be distinctly noticed within a distance of 300-400 m from the mine edge in the down-dip side and becomes milder/insignificant thereafter.
1.24 Changes in water bodies or the land surface affecting drainage or run-off? Yes A local change in ground topography will be created due to mining operation such as open pit, dumps of overburden and coal etc. As a result, there would be change in the drainage and surface run-off. Within the core zone, cracks and loosening of soils would be resulted due to mining and associated activities thereby physical/textural changes would occur in soil/formation. This mine induced process increases the rate of infiltration and recharge. The back-filled area may be a good media for h
1.25 Transport of personnel or materials for construction, operation or decommissioning? Yes The coal production from the proposed project is 9090 TPD. This coal will be transferred to the nearest Saunda D siding by tipping trucks. The transportation of manpower will be fulfilled by bus/ cars.
1.26 Long-term dismantling or decommissioning or restoration works? Yes The closure activities form an integral part of mine. The residential quarters along with dispensary, sub-stations, pump house, filtration plant for providing basic amenities to workers will be maintained till the employees are required to stay. Service buildings namely workshop, store, office building etc will be demolished, if redundant, after mine closure and all useable items will be shifted to area store.
1.27 Ongoing activity during decommissioning which could have an impact on the environment? Yes Solid waste generated during demolition of service and residential buildings after cessation of industrial activity will have an impact on the environment. Care will be taken to dump the solid waste in mine voids.
1.28 Influx of people to an area in either temporarily or permanently? Yes Influx of people will take place due to direct and indirect employment opportunities. This will continue throughout the life of the mine.

8.2 From any other causes Yes 1) Slope failure in OB Dump and mine Pit 2) Mine inundation 3) Blasting 4) Fire in coal or shale dump
8.3 Could the project be affected by natural disasters causing environmental damage (e.g. floods, earthquakes, landslides, cloudburst etc)? No The project does not fall under seismically active zone or landslide prone area. Apart from safety measures, the mine is equipped to deal with any eventuality.
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 Supporting infrastructure facilities of the mine have already come up. This has impacted the local land use pattern. However, socio-economic growth associated with mining activity has led to semi-urbanisation. This supports development of ancillaries and other related activities.
9.2 Lead to after-use of the site, which could have an impact on the environment Yes Some of the activities mentioned at 9.1 above could assume permanent residency with appropriate feed sustained growth mechanism.
9.3 Set a precedent for later developments Yes The proposed mine infrastructure may be used in future also by other nearby projects after exhaustion of the reserves of North Urimari OCP. As such, the likelihood of precedence for later developments cannot be ruled out. Activities at 9.1 & 9.2 above will lead to over all socio economic growth of the area. Socio-economic benefits of the Project will accrue to local population also.
9.4 Have cumulative effects due to proximity to other existing or planned projects with similar effects Yes As South Karanpura coalfield covers a large area having very good mining potential, associated mining activities in future with numerous closely located centers as indicated at 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3 along with other activities like coal beneficiation and power generation etc can not be ruled out. This could lead to cumulative impact on environment.
