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 Economic growth associated with coal mining activity leads to semi-urban like development of ancillary and supporting industries and other related activities. Provision has been made for 3.995 km of Colony roads and estimate has been provided for one 700 m flyover near Bajrangbali Chowk.

9.2 Lead to after-use of the site, which could have an impact on the environment Yes Some of the activity enumerated at 9.1 above could assume permanent residency with appropriate feed sustain growth mechanism. Beyond this the physically and/ or biologically reclaimed land would undergo a transformation over time which would have a positive impact on the environment.
9.3 Set a precedent for later developments Yes Activities described at 9.1 & 9.2 above do cumulative in conjunction with local set up and in a number of cases has set the precedence of economic development leading to the overall socio-economic growth of the area.
9.4 Have cumulative effects due to proximity to other existing or planned projects with similar effects Yes Coal occurs in layers over a large spread of area. Associated mining activity with numerous such closely located centres as indicated at 9.1, 9.2, and 9.3 along with other activities like power generation etc. could have a cumulative impact.
