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
No This is a working mine and the required infrastructure facilities are already provided and no major adverse impact on the environment is observed. No major additional infrastructure is necessary for this project. There shall be no housing development, extractive industries, supply industries or any other ancillary development. Hence, there will be minimal adverse impact on land environment.
9.2 Lead to after-use of the site, which could have an impact on the environment Yes It is proposed that part of the pit will be kept as water reservoir which will act as a water harvesting structure helping in the recharge of ground water.
