Accordingly, earlier, Mine Closure Plan of JVR-I has been changed. It was observed that surface quality of nearby water tank is poor and exceeding the norms. Also, it was noted that disposal of washery rejects from proposed new coal washery, in OB dump may have safety issue and leads to wastage of extracted resources. Certified Compliance report of JVR-OC II submitted by Ministry’s Regional Office have various non-compliance based on site visit conducted in September, 2019. No certified compliance report of EC of JVR-OC I has been submitted by Project Proponent. Amendment of EC conditions of JVR-OC II regarding transportation by road till December 2021 is under consideration in the Ministry. Further, there are various issues which required further deliberations and suitable response.
